What People Are Saying
from Google & Yelp"Located inside the lobby of the Lincoln hotel, this cozy spot has a small selection of breakfast sandwiches, a decent number of pastries, and a standard selection of specialty drinks. Not a ton of seating, but the space is cozy and well decorated."
"Cool, cozy vibe and excellent coffee with all the options. Good pastries etc and we loved the ham and cheese croissant. Friendly service. Elaine's was a highlight of staying at the Hotel Lincoln, but people came from all around for it."
"We checked this place out because it was connected to our hotel. One of my kids got a chocolate crossiant and LOVED it. She said it was so flaky and the flavor was great, but not too overpowering. We all got coffees with plant milk. They have quite a few options for this, including soy, oat, almond and coconut. Be forewarned there is an upcharge for these though. Overall, we all liked the coffees we had and the atmosphere. A bit on the pricier side though..."
"While staying at the Lincoln hotel, Elaine’s was an easy stop in the morning. However the service was very hit or miss. The barista working one morning was very pleasant and even offered to repour my ice tea when it didn’t look steeped enough. However, another morning was the opposite. The barista obviously did not want to be there and had not stocked things for the day (mind you I was there well after opening). I asked if they had the breakfast sandwiches, she replied she hadn’t checked the fridge downstairs (in a voice that said she couldn’t care less). That was a non-answer and that’s all I wanted so I asked if I should go elsewhere. She scoffed, walked away, and with barely any time away she returned and told me I was out of luck. I don’t believe she actually went to look. If it wasn’t for the convenience for the hotel I would never return."
"Unfortunately the coffee was very weak and the wait staff girl with curly hair was very rude and would obviously rather be anywhere else. I was treated like a bother instead of a customer. And it wasn't just me as I also overheard several guests in the lobby of the hotel discussing how blase the worker was and how it was worth the walk to a nearby coffee shop to be greeted with a smile and a decent cup of coffee! Truly pathetic!"
"I really enjoyed my visit to Elaine's Coffee Call. I ordered the avocado toast and it was fresh flavorful and nicely balanced. Simple but done well which I..."
