ELK Cafe

“The fireplace is cozy in the colder months and the backyard with play shed is brilliant.”

“The idea to team up with Brancaccio's was a masterstroke, and while Stumptown's a bit overrated, it delivers the requisite kick you need.”

“Also cool that it is right across from our favorite playground (Vanderbilt), making it possible to bounce back and forth to keep things fresh.”

  1. Great space right by Prospect Park- we passed by this place on the way back from the Pet Store two doors down. Menu and the glass case goodies looked enticing but the employees were all aloof and they stare you down as you order. It was a bit unnerving and made us feel unwelcome. Garden area looked pleasant and relaxing. Pro tip: opt to sit in the garden as the employees won't be able to burn a hole into your face by staring if you stay there.

  2. Love the place very cute!!! The garden space in the back is big and they have outdoor indoor areas– I saw a lot of parents with kids so it's great for kids too I guess.
    The service was horrible!!!!!! I ordered a Iced Chai Latte with an extra shot but Instead of Iced I got hot and when I corrected the barista I got a nasty look– I know what I ordered. Plus at the same time the customer is always right.
    The other drink that I ordered was a sot– it was totally burnt and over done.

    Not likely to come back based on the nasty attitude.

  3. We stopped here twice within the same day. Early in the morning, we wanted to have breakfast but since they only have bagel, croissant type of things, we went elsewhere but since we liked the atmosphere, came back later. It is located on the south side of the Prospect Park.

    The building itself is so cute. There is about 6-7 table, a fire place, yes a fire place! So keep in mind for winter. Andddd a garden at the back with a kid tent full of toys ! 🙂 So families with children, perfect for you. We got a table in the garden and ordered milkshakes. They were okay. We felt home sitting there for a long time, watching kids play around.

    Bathroom is clean. Across the bathroom, there is a shelf with different kind of jam jars for sale. Have a look.

  4. Cute cafe located on the edge of Prospect Park.  

    I got an iced americano that was excellent.  They have great pastries, such as the blueberry pop-tarts–yum! The owner was extremely nice and easy to talk to!

    I loved the outdoor seating and found it to be a great place to bring kids, if you have them, since some of the outdoor spaced looked to be very kid-oriented/friendly.  

    Great spot!
