Busy little cafe in Elora…read more 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.

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.

The atmosphere was perfect and cozy, and the staff were very friendly and welcoming. It was a full house during our visit, which really says a lot about the place! My only small comment would be that I hope they could be a bit more generous with the serving size of the calamari considering the price. Other than that, we really enjoyed our visit and would definitely come back.

There was another table beside us that was waiting as long as we had, until they brought it to the servers attention. Waiting that long for food that was mediocre was not something worthwhile especially in a tourist attraction. Maybe going on a weekday would be better. Not sure if I any of us would go back

There are NO positives that can be said about this experience. The food was minimal for a high price ($140 for a few tiny sandwiches, scones which were completely overcooked and had to be sent back and resulted in a long wait for a replacement, a few savoury things which were tiny and tiny little desserts only four little tiny ones. In fact , basically the food was tasteless in most cases and extremely expensive for what we got. The staff member was not attentive, the café is not clean and certainly not the charming Place I expected to be. I would avoid this location at all costs.

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!

Cool spot and wholesome locally sourced food!…read more Really neat that their brewery is so open air and flows right into the dining area. We ordered their: - Elora Borealis beer -EBC Burger (5/5) very thick and juicy! Love the locally sourced fluffy brioche bun from Elora Bread Co -APPLE BRINE TURKEY SANDWICH (5/5) real turkey meat and best side salad ever! Service was generally good but they forgot to put in our order so it delayed our food by 1 hour, they were nice enough to take one of our dishes off the bill!

If you are a fan of waitstaff who don't care if you live or die is this ever the place for you!!…read more Seriously don't know what happened to this establishment. Last year we went twice and thought is was great. Went today and decided to sit at the bar so that we could truly feel the vibe. Wow. Was that ever a mistake. All the servers seem to have run of the taps and are not organized at all. The kicker here is that we sat right in front of the taps and still had to fight to be acknowledged. Did I mention that we were the only people sitting at the bar?!?! Insane right?!? Nope. True story. Finally one of the servers offered us water so we said sure. Dropped the water off and ran. Like RAN!!! Another server came up to us about ten or so minutes later and said, "do you want any food"? I asked if we could order our drinks as well and she stared at us blankly which I took as a "whatever dude". Ordered two drinks and two apps as she punched the order into her handheld device and quickly ran away. Seriously said nothing. Food and drinks came, average at best, no one checked on us, they fumbled over each other in front of us, still no one checked on us, we finished, and still no one checked on us. Finally yet another server came and took our empty plates, said nothing, walked away. Flagged down yet another server five minutes later so that we could pay. We voiced our displeasure in our experience and he DID NOT SAY A WORD!!! Just awkwardly grinned and handed over the payment machine. You cannot make this stuff up. One of our worst experiences in a restaurant ever. Just wow
