Ruthann's Gourmet Bakery & Coffeehouse

Part bakery, part coffee shop - Ruthann's is the kind of place that makes Bellaire the quaint up north town we love. Not only is Ruthann's our go-to spot for custom birthday cakes, she offers specialty coffee drinks and the most delicious treats to go.

Alden Muffin Tin
9110 Helena Rd. Alden, MI 49612

Now open for the 2026 season, Alden Muffin Tin is a quaint stop for breakfast or lunch just steps away from Torch Lake. Famous for their muffins (hence the name!) but we also love the quiche. 

Order: cold brew + muffin of the day
Go for: an outdoor coffee date with your girlfriends (mimosas encouraged)
antrm. notes: grab your coffee and muffin and wander down to the boat launch to take in the views of Torch Lake. Stop in the Pear Tree on your way out! 

Happy Camper Coffee Co

The perfect location in downtown Elk Rapids, with a warm and welcoming interior and stellar coffee. No detail is missed at Happy Camper where the focus is on local suppliers and sustainably sourced coffee.

Go for: a fall weekend or a rainy summer morning
antrm. notes: grab the corner table for river views! 

Michigander Bakery & Coffee Co

Formerly The Flour Pot, Michigander Coffee Co has taken over and is still serving up delicious baked goods and excellent coffee! This grab and go coffee shop is serving up every type of bake good you could wish for and specialty grade coffee, roasted locally in Antrim County!

Order: Large hot brew and a donut
Go for: brownie points with your kids
antrm. notes: grab your coffee and donuts to go and head down to the beach for a breakfast picnic! 

Coffee tastes better Up North. We don't make the rules. Happy sipping!
