Our Menu

The atmosphere is warm and welcoming. The staff is very friendly and treats you like family. My wife loved the eggs benedict and my three egg omelet was absolutely delicious. Customer service is tip of the spear. Take it from an old Marine Veteran, you will love Ames St Cafe.

Love love LOVE! Elk rapids needed a brunch place like this. Their breakfast and lunch is great. I love their BLT, french toast, and honestly any of their baked goods. They also have great service and are on honest with you about when tables will be open.

By far, it's one of my absolute favorite places to eat! You can't beat a meal that is from scratch with farm fresh ingredients! So much love is put into the food here, and you can tell. One of my favorite things is how much the staff love working here, it's not uncommon to over hear them thanking each other and offering to help. That kind of family atmosphere makes everyone feel welcome! Come as you are! The food is out of this world A-mazing!

We loved Allie's food truck and were thrilled when she decided to open Ames St Cafe! Her food is creative, cozy, and made with love. I have loved every dish I've ordered and I dream about the focaccia bread—the BEST.  She is always so patient and thorough when answering food allergy questions and so mindful in her offerings for unique dietary needs. How lucky our little village is to have Ames St Cafe. THANK YOU, Allie!
