Did a last minute day trip at my parent's cottage in Elora and decided to visit the lost and found cafe after a good friend mentioned it and gave a big thumbs up. I visited the cafe before but only ordered cappuccino and because it was late in the day I never had a chance to try their brunch menu. They had sandwiches and pastries. The sandwich at first looked pretty ordinary nothing special at first look but the first bite blew me away. It was fresh, the bread was amazing and simply yummy. We tried the house brekky, the smoked salmon and the classic brekky. 10/10 cappuccino 9/10. House peach ice tea 6/10. It was lacking in flavour. The service was excellent. They were fast and pleasant in serving the food. Did not wait at all despite it being busy. We sat outside and the patio was nice and the actual cafe was cute and cozy.
Popular place and I can see why! The food is damn tasty! I remember walking in and we had to wait in line. Not too long. Kinda late in the day to show up at a cafe and when we reached the front, they were out of a lot of stuff... the bread in my sandwich had to be swapped for what they did have available. It didn't matter it was gooood. The drink I ordered was rather bland I went to return it and it was promptly taken care of, which was great. The sandwich I had was phenomenal. Superb. The bread was toasted, so it had some crunch, there were adequate veggies, the flavours in sauce and non meat, meaty goodness (tempeh) blended wonderfully. Mmmm. My mouth is salivating as I recall. A table was hard to come by, thankfully someone was leaving as our food was ready. We had to dust crumbs off the table, yet scored a comfortable seat, complete with a variety of pillows. What a collection of funky wall hangings: portraits, art and other knickknacky type attire. Very ecclectic and enjoyable to look at. It's like walking into a living room. Washrooms are on the upper level. I remember sitting down and watching more and more people come in. Worth visiting!
Great lunch spot for a quick bite*. Fresh ingredients. Highly recommended. Did a day trip to Elora for the tubing, and wanted to grab a quick bite to eat. Google maps gave slightly different directions so we, indeed, get lost then found this cute cafe. Was recommended by a local and happy to have tried it. Ordered the roast beef sandwich, deli sandwich and a peach iced tea. Everything tasted fresh and it was the perfect amount of food before starting our tubing adventure. Note: there is limited seating (indoors and out), one bathroom for all genders and the wait for our order to be made was around *10-15 minutes. Overall, would recommend for anyone wanting fresh delicious food who lives near or passing by Elora. Will return to try different drinks and sandwiches. Yum!
The Lost and Found cafe is a cute cafe in Elora. Elora surprisingly has around 5 places to get an espresso and this is my first adventure for espresso in Elora. My favorite part of this cafe is the atmosphere, even though it was COVID times, the patio outside is quite enjoyable to be in. The espresso was alright and the food was ok (chocolate ball and twinky bar) but I probably will skip the food next time. Recommended for meeting with a friend, reading a book or some quiet time with your coffee.
Simply pretty cafe at a wonderful spot across the Elora mill. Loved the coffee flavor and the ambience is so good. Though we chose to sit outside on a lovely fall sunny day since they have decent seating outside. It's a perfect spot, pretty much the first cafe of you enter from the Elora mill side.
Researched for some breakfast options in Elora and we decided to come here. When we walked in, the decor of this place is rustic with the old bookshelves. This reminds me of those old school cafes. What's more, this place is busy! Even for 9 am on a Sunday morning. Anyhow, we browsed the menu and decided to grab a croissant with apple and brie + a Mediterranean breaky wrap for food and then 2 cups of much needed coffee. After, we grabbed a table outside of the store to chill while we waited for the food. After a few moments (about 15 mins), our drinks came out. I was waiting for my food though as we were a bit hungry. A short moment after our food came out piping hot. First bite ain't bad as I can tasted all the ingredients: eggs, roasted veggies, olive oil tapenade and goat cheese. Surprisingly, it's not over salty and food was piping warm. Coffee tasted great too. Overall experience was good. I got respect for the employee as she had to help many customers all by herself.
I require coffee on the daily and my little day trip to Elora brought me to the Lost & Found cafe. The atmosphere is so unique and memorable, I was captivated by the vibe and the set up the moment I walked in. My boyfriend and I each got a medium coffee ($2) and a chocolate chip cookie to share, we sat by the window and took in the calmness of the cafe while enjoying our coffees. The cookie was something special, it was soft and had a nice strong vanilla aroma. There is so much to see in Elora and this cafe is one of those special places that you've gotta check out when you're here!
It was raining heavily when we arrived in Elora, so we decided to wait in a cafe until the rain stops. The lost & found café was a random choice but it was also a correct choice. I was so in love with decoration of interior, the paintings on wall, the old bookshelves, and the old guitar. Coffee of The Lost & Found was great, they had rich coffee flavour unlike Starbucks(was just like milk and water). The coffee&bbqchicken wrap we ordered was very special, love the taste.

Busy little cafe in Elora. Street parking is easily found. You can bike or walk up to this spot. It is very hot in here as I'm not sure they have AC. Flies everywhere from the door opening and closing. You will be shewing them off your food. There is only one bathroom and the line gets quite long since people (read not patrons) come in to use this bathroom. They have many vegan options. There was a tofu bon mi and a tofu TLT sandwich. Both great, but don't come with anything. I also ordered a blueberry bar dessert and it was great. The lavender lemondade was a miss. Just yellow water. I will try them again for the plant based options. read more
If you are wondering if you should check this place out, just do it. Very adorable cafe with a wonderful outdoor seating area. There is limited seating inside but the patio across is also theirs. Inside, the walls are covered in different art work, the bathroom is located on the second floor. They have several options for both food and drinks. We all opted in for different varieties of bagel sandwiches. Lavender latte was different but tasty. The service was quick, they bring the food to your table. Overall, all of us enjoyed our brunch here. read more
This tiny cafe is tucked into a small mew directly opposite a bridge in Elora. The sandwiches are homey and delicious, with real roasted chicken used in roasted red pepper and chicken sandwiches. The real star of the show is the butter tarts, the coconut raspberry tart fruity well-balanced with a delicate thin crust. There's limited seating inside, but staff will bring your food to an outdoor patio. read more

The Breakfast and Smoked Salmon bagels were delicious and toasted to perfection. Coffee was good as well. The music was quiet enough to enjoy and carry conversation over it. The whole atmosphere was cozy, warm, welcoming. Watching the snow flakes from behind the window while seeping the warm coffee was an amazing experience read more
