"I was looking for a cute coffee shop with outdoor seating on the street and The Elk have plenty of tables outside. And they have one of the best egg sandwiches wraps I’ve ever had in New York. And you can make all sandwich gluten free :)"

"The Elk has the Absolute BEST coffee in the city! The Cloud has my ♥️ and a HUGE shout out to Jeffrey! He is always so so very kind and helpful and he makes the BEST Cloud! The coffee plus the connection with Jeffrey has been priceless! The area is super nice with ample seating outside and if ya go around the block the Elizabeth street park is free and open to the public! BEAUTIFUL! You cannot enter next to Elk, entrance is around the block! If you’re visiting for a local do NOT pass up THE ELK! GREAT cold pressed fresh juice as well!! And pastries! 10,000% pleased with coffee, food, juice, atmosphere and customer service! Jeffrey: YOU ROCK! Thanks so much for your kindness and hospitality to us foreigners from Texas❤️💕"

"Loved my drink and the burrito was AMAZING. So fresh and delicious. We waited about 10-15 mins for our food. Seating was limited to a small area outside the cafe. Nice staff. Would definitely go back when im in the area :)"

"The Elk is a cozy coffee shop where I came across a unique drink—Mango Matcha Latte. Made with ceremonial grade matcha and a house-made mango sugar syrup, it’s smooth, slightly sweet, and easy to drink. I suggest asking for light ice—not just to preserve the flavor but also to get a bit more of the drink. Definitely more of a grab-and-go spot than a place to linger."

"I don't know how y'all feel about tipping at a coffee shop, but I get so conflicted. Especially since I just order a cold brew. I could easily go back there and pour that myself. What's that Dwight Schrute quote? At my local coffee shop, I always tip but those are my people and they show love, you know? Anyways, I walked into the PACKED Elk on a Saturday, ordered my $6 cold brew and they flipped the little Ipad around and showed 20%, 25%, and 30% tip options. Like yo what, I'm already paying $6 for this cold brew. I didn't tip this time, because that just felt out of pocket. I got my cold brew and sat outside as they have ample outdoor seating. It's kinda sceney here, I felt like I was in LA. A lot of beautiful people, most of them came for the breakfast burrito that everyone raves about. I need to get back and try it but I was on a full belly as I had just DOMED a Black Seed Bagels BEC. IG @jnov_ Tiktok @jnov_reviews"
