Stepping into THE ELK feels like walking into a beautifully curated cabin café. The decor is earthy and intentional, with a strong local and sustainable focus that extends to the menu. It’s a great spot for a relaxed breakfast or solo afternoon, with a quiet energy and friendly staff who make you feel right at home.
I tried the oat milk latte and a chia pudding cup, both of which were delicious and clearly made with care. The menu offers wholesome, seasonal options without feeling too fussy. It’s easy to see why THE ELK has become a favorite for locals it delivers charm, consistency, and quality in every visit.

I had the best lavender matcha here, I will try to recreate it but I totally recommend it. The matcha itself Isint sweetened but the syrup balances it out, so it wouldn’t be too sweet nor too bitter. The cafe is pretty small itself, yet super cozy. My order came out very quick. The only thing that I was disappointed in was that it was super expensive. I had to pay nearly 10 dollars for one matcha.

The store is really cute, I love the curated vibe and service was great! But the strawberry matcha was mid at best. Super sweet and just not the best matcha quality. Would probably try something else the next time

The experience at this coffee shop really depends on which staff shift is working. Unfortunately, on many occasions I’ve encountered unfriendly staff who make mistakes with orders, don’t apologize, and tend to be quite arrogant. After several disappointing visits, I’ve decided not to come back.

Coffee was great, but only 1 gluten free pastry option
My girlfriend suggested this place as our meeting spot she wanted to check it out after seeing it on Instagram. I’m not exactly sure what she ordered, but it was something with “cloud” in it.
The drink wasn’t really my thing it felt a bit confusing, like it couldn't decide if it wanted to be a coffee or a sweet dessert drink. So, 4 stars for the drink, but the atmosphere? Definitely a 5. Great vibe overall.
As for the service, I can’t really give it a full rating since my girlfriend was the one who placed the order.
