Community Café is a small locally owned coffee shop hidden down a small alleyway in downtown Elora…read more It's a bit hidden but there is signage indicating where it is. The café is small with a few seats inside and more seating outdoors where it is primarily take out only. In terms of the menu, they offer a variety of caffeinated beverages, teas, cold drinks, pastries (cakes, cookies, brownies, muffins, scones), as well as breakfast (croissants/bagels) and lunch (hot dogs, sandwiches) items. My friend and I stumbled upon Community Café as we were walking along the main street of Elora. We decided to pop in for a beverage as we were killing time as we had a reservation for lunch elsewhere. Service is friendly and a bit slow, but there is only one staff there (I assumed the owner) who was making the beverages. The cute thing about this café is that you notice a wall full of dog pictures, all taken by the owner. I opted for the cold brew while my friend ordered the London Fog. Our drinks were made a reasonable time. The cold brew I had definitely was strong! Beware if you do have this beverage since the caffeine hits you after a few sips. Overall, cute small coffee shop with great coffee in Elora!

Our group came here for their afternoon tea service. I've been to quite a lot of high teas and I…read morebelieve Wild Tart has the largest portions (especially for the very reasonable price). Everything was served in towers of LARGE dinner plates (not the dainty small plates), and thus the food on them were not teeny bite-size. Be prepared for some super-sized finger sandwiches and very sweet desserts. The scones were our table's favourite. It was warm, fluffy, and the jams & cream paired so well. Each person gets a pot of tea. The earl grey is a classic and the verbena blue is fun especially when you watch the colour change with a squeeze of a lemon! They also sell 50g of their own teas for $15. Unfortunately, I do have to mention that they refused to honour their Yelp Check-in offer of a free brownie.

What a pleasant coffee shop! They offer good coffee and a good variety of baked goods (yes, I know…read more- I am supposed to stay away from these - but just try and stop me! LOL) They do not sell a wide variety of food, but if I'm not mistaken, they did have a breakfast sandwich with eggs and bacon. On this visit, I started off good, ordering only coffee, but I told my hubby about the baked goods and just like that we got delicious treats too! Trouble, looking for a place to happen! Looks like we both have a sweet tooth!! Service is good, coffee is good, treats are fresh and very tasty. The location is not large, but it's clean - including the washrooms. The biggest downer this past summer was the constant construction on Dundas, which blocked vehicular traffic all summer long. This must surely have negatively affected the local businesses. I am grateful this one survived. I look forward to going back.s

What brought me to Tin Roof Cafe in Erin was my son's baseball game against the local team. With time to kill and bellies to fill before first pitch, we stopped by Tin Roof Cafe. It looked like the most promising spot in town, and we were fortunate to squeeze in an hour there before their daily 6 p.m. closing time. My son ordered the Tin Roof BLT, and everything about it tasted incredibly fresh. I especially appreciated that they used locally baked bread instead of the typical store-bought variety. (If you're wondering, they also offer a regular BLT--but you won't get the turkey, avocado, or chipotle mayo that make the Tin Roof version so special.) It was a delicious sandwich from start to finish. For myself, I ordered the Nutellaccino. It was surprisingly good. The Nutella added a nutty richness to the coffee without making it crazily sweet. We also ordered a peanut butter brownie to go. Since my son was eating his sandwich first, the staff kindly offered to keep the brownie in the fridge until we were ready to leave. However, since we still had some time to kill and of course a sweet tooth, so we ended up eating the brownie before we left. The brownie was so...good. You could tell it was homemade, and even the peanut butter was homemade. The only disappointment was that I visited during the summer. Otherwise, I definitely would have tried one of their soups, which unfortunately aren't available during the warmer months. I love coffee shops with personality, and Tin Roof Cafe has plenty of it. Its cozy, funky village vibe made our one-hour visit feel warm, welcoming, and memorable. It's exactly the kind of local café that makes a small-town stop worthwhile.

I personally had the carrot cake and it was moist and flavourful. Just delicious! The coffee was pretty good too. They didn't have very many options but we also came late in the day so that's probably why. I can see this being a popular spot to come study or work.even the staff are nice and welcoming. It very cozy and warm feeling. I also love the turquoise cup and I feel like the branding is very good. So while it is sort of expensive it still is delicious.

Please note that they do seem to get quite busy and the staff run double duty for the Health Store and Cafe. Soup was excellent. Good coffee, although I asked for sugar and did not get it. Would be better if they just left some on the table. I found service a bit slow even though after 2 pm. (They are open 11-3 pm in the Cafe). We also had the carrot cake which was not really a fave for me. I did think their cookies and date squares looked great though. Street parking.
