    It was closed! Looks like permanently. Drove all the way there and it was closed. Their hours should be taken down

    The Crossing Coffee Bar - Lucky Charms latte

    The Crossing Coffee Bar sits right in the heart of Elkins and has the kind of warm, small-town café…read moreatmosphere that makes you want to like it the moment you walk in. The shop itself is inviting, and the two girls working behind the counter were genuinely sweet and welcoming. Their hospitality gave the place an immediate charm and made the experience pleasant on a personal level. Unfortunately, the coffee didn't quite match the warmth of the service. I ordered a flat white, but what came out was much closer to a poorly made cappuccino. The milk texture and ratios were off, and the drink lacked the smooth integration and balance you expect from a proper flat white. There were several basic preparation issues that suggested the baristas may not have had much training in espresso technique. That said, the friendliness of the staff goes a long way, and places like this often improve quickly with a little more focus on coffee fundamentals. With better training and attention to the craft, The Crossing Coffee Bar could easily grow into a solid stop for Elkins locals and travelers alike. Right now, it's a welcoming café with kind people behind the counter--just a step behind where it could be on the coffee itself.

    Recommended by another local restaurant... In town to ride…read morethe train. Nice ambiance in the first level of a house, but apparently understaffed ( guess this is a common theme in Elkins)...waited about 5-10 minutes to be greeted until my husband went directly to a server. Eventually seated. Hubby enjoyed his food: a spicy shrimp soup and chicken empanadas. My food was just ok; an acorn squash soup that was a bit bland and one of their specials, sweet and spicy Thai with chicken: chicken overcooked, not too much of it, and prepared in corn/cheese (?), which I wasn't expecting. Rice was rather bland, too. Server was friendly, but not very attentive. Probably because she was back and forth to the back room where there's a bar and a DJ ( at lest when we were there last night). The 2 glasses of sangria were good, and the total bill came to about $52 without tip. This could have been such a better experience; management take notice regarding staffing but maybe that's a continuation of a bad trend...

    I was very happy to get to try El Gran Sabor during my ski trip to Elkins; I almost missed my…read morechance since they are only open Wednesday through Saturday. I did manage to get there on Saturday just as they opened for dinner. El Gran Sabor is located in a converted vintage home; there is a small bar area and a medium sized dining room. The decor is comfortable and homey. Service was good and the menu pulls from both Mexican and Venezuelan cuisine which sounded like a great idea after a hard day of skiing. I ended up ordering the Shrimp Cachapa since I had not had this item before. This is a corn pancake topped with shrimp, vegies and cheese sided with rice and beans. A very tasty dish and just the kind of balanced meal to have after a day of exercising; also an item I have not seen on other menus before so I always like to try new things. I also really enjoyed the cup of spicy shrimp soup that came with the meal, rich shrimp flavor with a nice hit of spice warmed me to the core and got the meal off to a great start. I would strongly recommend El Gran Sabor if you are looking for a meal in Elkins, this was far and away the best meal I had during my visit and I would head back if I were in the area again. Definitely the culinary highlight of my vacation.
