Great experience, we were a group of 4 and everything was great, except maybe the hash browns, too crispy. Best flat whites in America so far. Super relaxing ambiance, cozy by the windows. Loved the vibe of the guy who checked us in, he was inviting & naturally genuine. I’ll be back and back and back.

Loved our dinner at Elysian Cafe. Food great, it was 2 for 1 entrees so a great deal! Packed so noisy, but food delish! Service was a little lacking but I think that was because they were so busy.
