This was a really sweet café, with two levels! You order on the ground floor, and then you can sit…read moreon the ground floor, or you can take the steps to go downstairs. I ordered a chai latte, which was very yummy, but I was actually the most impressed by their espresso chocolate loaf -- it was sooooooooo good!!!!!! I also tried the yuzu jasmine loaf but didn't like it as much. Their salt bread was also tasty.

When does the ridiculousness end with the coffee culture relying on influencers?…read more I ordered a Ube latte yesterday which was supposedly $8.5. Only request was to substitute milk with oat milk which led to an up charge - why is that? Isn't the price of milk incorporated in $8.5? Yet I paid $11.19 for a damn latte which, honestly, was mediocre at best. It wasn't even a large size when you compare it to other places. So done with this BS.

I really like their matcha foam & coconut water here!…read more I also got a matcha latte my 2nd and enjoyed it, but would want to try with cream next time so it'll be different from the matcha I make at home. The matcha quality and ratio of milk, water, and matcha was great!

I like how they incorporate some desserts from other shops. We ordered the: Dark chocolate strawberry matcha latte with uji matcha ($9.50) - matcha is prominent, but there is little strawberry and dark chocolate flavor. Shizouka matcha - had a round, umami, funky matcha taste Overall, decent matcha, but my friend an I have had better.

The Cardamom Latte (9/10) was almost perfect. I got it with oat milk, which made it nice and nutty…read more The espresso was on the lighter side, so I wished it had a richer, stronger espresso flavor, but it was still really satisfying and not too sweet. The Almond Croissant (7/10) had an amazing flaky crust, dense interior, and crispy almonds on top. Honestly, probably the best almond croissant I've had texture-wise, but I'm not a huge fan of almond paste in the middle, which is probably just because I'm not really an almond croissant person. The Cardamom Bun (8.5/10) was the best cardamom bun I've ever had!! The bread was super soft and pillowy, almost like a dinner roll, but the outside was caramelized and had so much cardamom flavor. It was perfectly sweet and I could genuinely eat so many of these. This one made me love cardamom buns, and I'm not sure if any others will top it. Vibes were a 9.5/10. The space felt like I was in a cafe in Japan. Service was fine.

We got the cardamom bun and pain suisse pastries and an iced americano.. and if there's anything you take away from this review.. it's that you come here .. you HAVE to try at least one pastry or else why would you go??? The cardamom bun is La Cabra's signature laminated cardamom bun , and the pain suisse (my personal fav) was so delicious!!! I also bought some beans to take home: Yacuri - Geisha from Ecuador and La Papaya - Bourbon

Fantastic! Great flavor on the Matcha, not sweet (which is my preference). Would definitely come…read moreback here again!

The barista was very nice and friendly. She took my order and was quick to make the drinks. The drinks were both great tasting and artistic. For the hot chocolate, she used Ghirardelli chocolate.

Expensive and overpriced coffee/drinks on the menu. Leave your cash at home, they only take card…read more Space wise is tiny almost like the size of two bathroom stalls together. No restrooms for customers or free wifi. Cute ambiance for the little cafe though. There's some room to move around but not much when it's super busy/packed on the weekends. Luckily, there's an outdoor seating area with a table or two to put your coffee down. But, you gotta be quick to grab a seat before someone getting to it. The Elk often partners up with other beauty brands for gifts with purchase of a speciality drink promotion from time to time. For example, they've recently worked with a fragrance brand called Etleé few days ago. Buying the Iced Milk Caramel Latte ($10.34) would get you a complimentary ($20) full size 30ml Milk Caramel Fragrance. Cafe had never announced in advance towards the # of perfumes they'd in store. Only stating limited quantities. Probably didn't want people crowding around or camping outside the store. In the end, I found out that they only had 100 to begin with. Luckily, I was the 93rd person after 30 people had cut in line. Drink was alright. Nothing had amazed me. No wowing factor. Lots of ice as expected. Liked the whip of milky foam on top. Just the right amount of sweetness. Caramel flavor was there. Strong taste of coffee. Would I get it again? Probably not. Everyone aiming for the fragrance, no one cared about the coffee anyway.

No seating but the staff was super nice and friendly! We tried the lavender and ube cloud matcha…read morewhich were phenomenal. A must try for a quick matcha stop that's not a huge chain. They do also sell packets and boxes from what I saw that were award winning.

Pretty solid Matcha. A bit bitter, which isn't my favorite as I usually prefer a sweeter matcha but…read moreif you're into a more authentic tasting, bitter matcha, I do think it would be good for you. They have more regular priced matchas and then they have more expensive matchas. I got one of the more expensive ones and unfortunately, I wasn't that impressed given the price. But if you were to imagine that the matcha was actually maybe like six dollars then I might've been been more impressed by it I first had asked for the ube cold foam matcha and was told that the machine wasn't working, but I swear the person after me asked for a cold foam matcha and they didn't say anything to them so I'm a bit confused as to why I was unable to get the one I initially wanted. But it's okay perhaps I'll visit again in the future to try the ube one as I hear such great things about it

Came here initially for the matcha, but couldn't resist and ordered the caffe granita…read more The matcha was pretty mediocre. Not bad, but wouldn't go out of my way to come here for matcha. However I would definitely come back for the caffe granita. It had such a smooth yet light/fluffy texture and wasn't too sweet. It looks massive, but it goes down almost too easily. There is some seating along the sides, so nice for a quick stop but probably not for an extensive conversation with someone. Cute vibe!

This place completely caught me off guard in the best way. Walked in on a whim and now I can't stop…read morethinking about it. The space is super clean and minimal, but not in a cold way--it just feels very intentional. You can tell a lot of thought went into everything, from the setup to the little details like color choices and incredibly cute cups/caps. The coffee is seriously good. Not just aesthetically pleasing, but actually well-made. As someone who grew up around good coffee (I'm Colombian), I can tell when it's done right--and this is it. The texture of the milk alone says a lot. Also worth calling out: the pastries. We tried the croissant and the matcha cookies and both were SO good. Simple, but done really well. There's also a second floor with seating, which I was not expecting and honestly makes a big difference if you want to stay a bit. Feels like a low-key hidden spot. The team there is also very kind and surprisingly good remembering faces. Came in just to check it out and now it's part of my regular rotation.

Overall rating: 3.5…read more Really friendly place but the matcha ($7) was not good. A little hesitant to try other drinks given the area. Doesn't seem worth the hype.
