    Various pastries

    Today's visit was based on my date's desire to try something familiar to her native palate. Elena's is between the two of us, so we decided to met there to try their Argentinian and other Latin cuisine. The interior is pretty no nonsense, but nice, with floor space dominated by moderate seating and large displays showcasing sweet offerings. I ordered the Lomito Argentino with fries, and she ordered the Milanese meal with Russian potato salad on the side The food was tasty, though a little salty for my preference. My date thought her Russian potato salad was a little dry and underseasoned. She added an order of café de Leche at the end of the meal and was extremely underwhelmed with the paper cup it was delivered to the table in. Plus, according to her, it wasn't hot. She felt if they had used a ceramic coffee cup they could've served it hotter. That said, she did leave with a box full of pastries to take home to her family. So in the grand scheme, she may be a lot happier now than she was right after our meal concluded. I would like to go back to try some of their pasta dishes. They sounded amazing.

    The food was delicious! I tasted my friend's lasagna and the flavor was off the charts! The beef and chicken empanadas were amazing! I had the chicken parm but will definitely get the lasagna next visit. Sabrina and Michelle were so helpful. Everyone was very friendly! I can't forget the pastries, so good!

    Very cute (and clean spot). Service was great! Staff was very welcoming and friendly. Argentinian empanadas are the BEST so if you've never tried them before I recommend getting one of each :)

    Es lo que quedo. Riquísimo!

    Yo ordene un cake de 3 leches y estaba delicioso. La presentación y maestria de sabor es una delicia al paladar.

    I had the opportunity to visit this Hometown feel of Gastonia, North Carolina . What a pleasant visit it was. Greeted by a very enthusiastic and knowledgeable staff employee named Natalie. She proceeded to tell me more about the culture of the Argentinian way and the various foods and delicacies of the country that is so warming and welcome. Her story of how she knew the owners is a very testament of what God can do in a person's life to be the light - An example of all of us. Although I had the latte, it was very delicious and I knew the food would be excellent in this quaint town of diversity. Thank you, Natalie for sharing your heart and desire with others on the Argentina road to health. Try it out.. Your senses will be Refreshed!!

    Elena's Argentinian Cafe is currently celebrating their grand opening, and you should get there ASAP! The customer service is top-notch! The girl who helped me today (I didn't get her name) was incredibly friendly! She had a smile that never faded! I asked her what the pastry was that I ultimately bought (I've uploaded a picture), and she told me the name and gave me a description of it that made it impossible to pass on! Unfortunately I've forgotten what it was called (in my defense, I'm painfully Caucasian so the name went in one ear and out the other). The coffee was also delicious! And the prices are incredibly great for the quality! There are tables that you can sit at if you choose to eat in, and the shop is quiet and welcoming! I will absolutely be going back time and time again! Everything in there looks delicious!

    Such a beautiful building and space. I was honestly in awe when I walked in. I have been to…read moreWaterbean before, but this Gastonia location truly blew me away. There is so much seating, like so so much, and it was surprisingly quiet for a Saturday. This would be the perfect spot to work remotely or meet friends for coffee without feeling cramped or rushed. The drinks are affordable and so delicious, which is always a win. On top of that, every staff member we interacted with was incredibly kind and welcoming. Hands down one of my favorite Waterbean locations. I will definitely be back.

    This coffee bar is an excellent addition to Gastonia. It's just what the city needs…read more It has lots of parking. Easy access to Franklin Blvd. Large room, spacious seating area and very clean! The staff are friendly and helpful. They have more than just coffee. A vast amount of coffees, lattes, mochas and tea etc. Pastries, muffins, brownies, cookies and sandwiches! Gender neutral restrooms that are clean! There's a tasting room for events and you can rent the space for showers, meetings or special events. It's a classy coffee bar. It has the look of being in Charlotte but with a soft subtle small town charm. It even has a beautiful piano as you enter. I'm so glad I stopped by. I will definitely visit again and also. This is a beautiful and cozy place to unwind after a long day or give you the energy to start your day! Come check them out for yourself!

What I thought was even more cool was when I came several days in advance to order the cake maker, ( not sure how she spelled it) Ashlynn was attentive and walked me through since I never order cakes. She also gave me a couple crème horns to boot. Very nice touch! Good Selling Yelpers!

Overall service was very good; our server was pleasant, attentive and patient throughout our stay. Our party mostly ordered the various burger options ( all were juicy and served with mayo ) served with either fries or a side salad and I'd recommend the Hangover Burger myself. The spicy chicken sandwich was another good option for chicken lovers. Again we passed on the pastries but the ice cream was very good. I again witnessed the tale of two restaurants as the primary business and labor focus appears to be on the ice cream, baked goods and pastries side which did impact the in dining side service of the business. Could just have been a staffing issue but something to be aware of when considering table service. Overall restaurant offered friendly service and good food that's reasonably priced.
