Happy Camper Coffee Co.

The views of the lake was the best I’ve seen anywhere in Elk Rapids. The barista gave a great recommendation, there was a large variety of flavor options. As an avid coffee shop enthusiast, this is one of the most beautiful and uniquely decorated shops I’ve ever been to! I especially love the antique shop part right when you walk in. Will be coming back!

Really great dirty chai/ espresso, and hazelnut latte. Large selection of great flavors to add and nice breakfast menu options. Workers were super kind and helpful, quick service. Cute inside seating with pretty view of the river and small dam. Would recommend trying if nearby!

A pleasant find today. The coffee was yummy and the coffee art was beautiful! I love that they had a table for littles to sit and color too. The guy was very helpful and provided great customer service, which seems to be a rare find these days. Thank you- I will be back!

This coffee shop is truly exceptional! The owner is passionate about quality and it shows in every detail. They’ve even created their own custom blend using Mundos beans, which are locally roasted in Traverse City. Happy Camper’s blend is something special! My cappuccino was crafted to perfection, and the flavor was outstanding. To top it off, the location couldn’t be better—right by the beach, making it the perfect spot to enjoy a great cup of coffee.

We went here for breakfast. Super cute coffee shop with some food offerings. I really like the overnight notes, they were not too sweet and it was a good way to start the day. Coffee was good and the tea was delicious.
