Cafe Elena has a great breakfast selection, whether you want traditional (or semi-traditional) Russian dishes, American diner classics, or a full English.

I had the “Russian grandma,” and left completely stuffed.

It is family-owned, and it shows. Service is thoughtful, and engaged without being pushy.

Add it your weekend brunch rotation if you haven’t already.

Our family had breakfast here this morning! Exceptional service and the food was incredible. The presentation of our breakfast choices were superb and each one was full of flavor! We will definitely be back! Met the owner’s husband and he was great!! A definite restaurant to visit if you are in the area.

Finally stopped by after hearing about this place for forever, and it didn't disappoint. Had Elena's Specialty with a side of potatoes and caramelized bacon, all of which was so good. A little bit of a wait but staff was super kind and quick to get tables cleared away. Decorated beautifully for the holidays. Can't wait to come back and try more!
