Exceptional service, and fresh, delicious food and beverages. They support local, and places like Elm Cafe make it a pleasure for us to do so too. Ill be going back. See you there!
This is our favourite go-to shop to get a hot-pressed breakfast sandwich to start off the weekend right. The menu changes regularly so it never gets old. In the morning there’s usually two choices and by lunch they add a couple more. There’s never been a time where at least one of the choices wasn’t delicious (usually both choices look delicious to be honest). The scones and coffee are also pretty tasty. I will keep coming back here as long as they’re open! Great food, good price, fun staff – what else do you need?
On a slow summers day The Elm Caf is a great choice for a light lunch or breakfast. The are the king of the sandwich makers, in my opinion. Today I had a Mac and Cheese sandwich which is a twist on the BLT. It was delicious. The problem with Elm Caf is that there is really no seating except for a couple of outdoor tables with no rain protection. So if the day is fine this is a five star caf. If it is cold or wet outside, I would suggest somewhere else.
This is a DIVINE sandwich place. Super small but oh so good. Check out their twitter on a daily basis for what they offer because it changes on a day to day menu. I know $9 for a sandwich seems like a lot, but if you value local shops and good ingredients, you won’t blink twice because it’s so worth it!I always like meat in my sandwiches but I blundered up an order once and the guy gave me a veggie sandwich. While I was driving away I realized that he gave me the wrong one (can’t blame him though, i just had some teeth work done so my jaw was a tad numb – I was difficult to understand). But I was scrunched for time and starving, so I decided to eat it. Hello tingling tastebuds. I never EVER thought I’d eat a sandwich with no meat but there it is. I’m a changed woman. So whether you’re vegetarian or not, go. Just go. The one thing that would be nice is if they had a 10 minute customer parking spot, long enough for you to wait for them make your sandwich.
I have been going to Elm Cafe since it opened. During this time, I’ve noticed the steady deterioration of quality and value of their offerings. I’m not sure if it correlates with the burgeoning Elm Cafe enterprise, but I suspect Elm Cafe has been a casualty of the business phenomenon of ‘growing too fast’ at the expense of other Nate Box businesses. Simply put, Elm Cafe has lost what made it special in the first place and ceded that position to the likes of Farrow Sandwiches.The final straw was being charged $9 for a lackluster parmesan chicken sandwich the other day. The green in the sandwich was limp and the chicken was dry and stringy, and overall lacking in flavor. I suspect the $7 pricing of sandwiches during 12 and 1PM is meant to offset the poor intrinsic value of Elm Cafe sandwiches.Once upon a time, Elm Cafe used to put out quality sandwiches for better pricing. Now they put out mediocre sandwiches for premium pricing. As a result, I will not be going back.
Love the coffee — I usually get the americano. Small spot but nice little patio. The sandwiches are amazing too ! Can’t go wrong with anything here.
Service: I have been to this place three times and each time the staff was friendly and patient.Appearance: This is a small place with limited seating, there is bar like seating at the window for four people and there are tiny, slightly unstable table and chairs outside. The place appears to be clean and tidy.Food:Tea: they have loose tea…YES! always give bonus points if loose tea is available.Oatmeal Coconut Cookie: Wow! this was a great cookie, fresh and soft, but with a slight crunch on the outside, so good with my loose tea!JURASSIC PORK – pork belly, cheddar, spinach, cukes, pickled apples – this was a tasty sandwich, fresh, warm and all the levels of flavour made my mouth happy.OLIVE&LET DIE – chicken, kalamata, bocconcini, , fennel, olives – this was a nice light sandwich and the olives added great flavour.Sandwiches overall: My only complaint is that I felt that the sandwiches could use a bit more filling, the bread part overwhelms the taste profile due to the lack of the filling.Go again: YES! And the names of the food are so clever 🙂
