OMG, I smelled the fresh fragrance of coffee from outside, so I had to come in. What a surprise!!! This place is a gem 💎. First time here. This place is crowded and I did not know why. Now I do. The waiting line explains everything. The goodies and pastries I found here are out of this world goodness. The pastery chef was passing on this frog samples: my goodness they are so delicious... The coffee, great and the blueberries scone was just delicious. I would probably come from my grave to enjoy this place.

Diners overwhelmingly call out the signature dish as the must-order. The vibe reads as vegan restaurant — service is consistently described as warm and unhurried. Common gotcha: queues form at peak times — go early or late.

This is one of those places that feels like a true neighborhood gem — cozy, welcoming, and the kind of spot you end up staying longer than planned. I love the European café vibe without trying too hard. The coffee is solid (not watery), and the pastries is exactly what I wanted for. It’s a great place to meet a friend, or just sit and enjoy a quiet moment with a good book.

We were in Happy Valley and just searched coffee on Google Maps and Elkabees popped up and we decided to give it a shot. So glad we did! We tried their autumn specials, and the pumpkin spice iced white mocha was a total win. Tasty and not overly sweet. We were hungry, so we got a couple of breakfast dishes. I had the (eggs with broccoli and spinach) which was a solid and healthy choice. The potatoes on the side were crispy and delicious, and the toast with jam was the perfect finish and the avocado toast with an egg was also a hit. The atmosphere inside is fantastic. It was busy and had a great energy, with tons of seating from regular tables to cozy couches by the windows. We also noticed outlets built into the walls everywhere, making it an awesome spot to post up with a laptop. We'll definitely be back. It's the perfect place for a great coffee, a tasty bite, and to get some work done.
