Elijah’s Coffee Shop is hands-down my favorite spot in town! The drinks are always top-tier, the vibes are cozy, and the service is unmatched. I have to give a special shoutout to Bennie and Warren—they are absolutely amazing. Every time I come in, they’re not only efficient and professional, but also incredibly kind and welcoming. They always remember my order, make it perfectly, and genuinely brighten my day. It’s rare to find service like this. Bennie and Warren are truly the heart of Elijah’s—this place wouldn’t be the same without them!

Elijah's Coffee House is a true local gem that I frequently visit. What keeps me coming back, besides the convenient location, are the fantastic workers. Most of the staff are incredibly friendly and genuinely great, making each visit feel welcoming.
The ambiance here can be quite pleasant, perfect for a quiet coffee and some work. However, it sometimes gets a bit loud, depending on the music choices and the volume of conversation, which can be a minor disruption.
As for the offerings, the food and beverages are, for the most part, consistently good. There have been a few minor hiccups with orders, but I truly appreciate that any issues are usually fixed or adjusted without a fuss. This willingness to correct things makes a big difference. Despite the occasional noise, Elijah's remains a cherished local spot, and I highly recommend stopping by for a delightful coffee experience.

Due to the Easter holiday, the business didn't update their schedule on Google, so I made it on time right before closing at noon.

I ordered a basic small black coffee--nothing special, but it didn't have the kick that I wanted. Unfortunately, my mom didn't enjoy hers at all (she ordered a decaf), claiming it didn't even smell or taste like coffee.

I couldn't enjoy the atmosphere due to it closing but while ordering I looked around and it was quaint and different, in a good way :)

Cashier wasn't helpful, barista was cranky. They were out of the first three things we asked for. My green tea was served with blazing hot water, well above normal. Entryway leads right up to the register with no room to move or form a line so everyone has to shuffle around awkwardly. Just an awful experience. Final note, "tea" should not be in their name.

The coffee is decent but the service is very slow and the workers are rude. The first time we went we waited a half hour for our food, which was just a breakfast sandwich. When we asked the man working if our food was coming he was very rude and wasn’t understanding at all. We went back for a second time hoping that maybe it would be better, but the same guy working (Saturday mornings) was rude when we asked if the drinks ready were ours. He didn’t call out the order and we didn’t want to take the wrong drinks, yet he was rude when we asked.

Upon arrival, staff was talking while I was standing waiting to order. Once they finished their conversation, the staff member looked at me with a blank stare; no greeting, just an awkward.. blank.. stare. I asked for a croissant breakfast sandwich (as listed on their website). The response from the staff member was, "We don't have croissants." No other options presented, no reason why they did not have croissants. I ended up getting a bagel with sausage egg and cheese. The sausage was extremely dry and there was not a grain of salt on the egg. Coffee was mediocre. If you're looking for good coffee in the area, go to Villa Perk 5 minutes away . MUCH better service, better coffee, better pastries.

The whipped coffee is delicious, no extra flavor needed. The breakfast sandwich is fine.

A nice little cafe. I tried the apple cinnamon scone and strawberry smoothie, and it was really good.
