The service was great and the atmosphere was very friendly and rustic as the coffee shop is a cabin so you get the cabin vibe as if you were in the smoky mountains. The iced latte with oat milk was also on point and tasted fresh. I also purchased a bag of their whole bean medium roast coffee which I'll try soon and come back and update my review. Overall a good spot and near many other shops and restaurants which is a great Saturday morning coffee and brunch area.

I was headed to work and knew I would be working through lunch so I also ordered a grilled chicken kale caesar. Burrito was beyond super tasty and kept me full for hours and hours. Caesar salad was garlicky and positively delicious. Best caesar salad I have had in a long time. Chicken was moist with a ton of flavor. There was a slight spice zing here and there wasn't sure if it was coming from the chicken or the dressing. Scrumptious. Highly recommend the food offering and will hit this place whenever I am in the area. Service has been on point every visit. Interior is always cute and clean.

So light and delicious Egg- cooked to perfection the way it was ordered Cinnamon roll- everrrrry thing my husband wanted. He said 10/10 I said 9/10 but maybe it's because it was his plate and he wouldn't let me wipe the end he game me in the icing Scrapple- first time trying it, if you like it it's good? Not for me. But it was interesting. Crunchy on the outside, soft on the inside. Tastes sausage-y French toast Special- has NO RIGHT being this good. I don't even usually like French toast, but I had to try it. Well cooked, and the strawberry compote was unbelievably delicious and homemade. Nothing like a ihop would have. 10/10 If you get the shredded hashbrowns ask for it extra crispy!

Well I popped in for the steak and eggs skillet. Not only do I think the eggs are fake but meat should not look like that. It tasted more like sausage than steak and looks like left over hamburger bits. I think they keep prices down because they've switched to the lab made crap. I don't like complaining about family owned restaurants but this will be the last time I ever go there. Sorry there are plenty of diners in NJ that use REAL ingredients. I can't get past this now.

Review: Elsie's - Gloucester City, NJ…read more Elsie's is a charming, ultra‑small spot with true 1950s diner character. The entire place seats only about six people at a counter with stools, creating an intimate, nostalgic feel. Service is very friendly, welcoming, and exactly what you'd hope for in a classic diner-style eatery. The food hits the mark for comfort classics. The burgers are straight out of a 50s diner playbook--simple, tasty, and made to order. Crinkle‑cut fries pair perfectly with their excellent cheese curds, which are a standout. They also offer made‑to‑order sodas, coffees, shakes, and ice cream, adding to the retro charm. A small place with a big personality, Elsie's is worth the stop. I'll definitely be back.

A Burger Worth Writing Home About…read more I stopped into Elsie's Burgers & Shakes recently and went with their $15 burger and shake special, and let me tell you... this might be one of the best lunch deals around. I kept things simple and ordered a classic chocolate milkshake. Thick, creamy, cold, and topped with whipped cream -- exactly what a milkshake should be. But what really impressed me was looking over their insane list of flavor options. They have dozens of syrups and combinations available. Everything from cookie butter and cotton candy to lavender and pumpkin spice. I went traditional this time, but next visit I'm definitely branching out. Now let's talk about the burger. Absolutely outstanding. Perfectly cooked, juicy, with melted cheese, crisp lettuce, and a toasted bun that held everything together the way a good burger bun should. Nothing over-engineered. Just a straight-up great burger. Honestly, it's one of the best burgers I've had in many years. A quick heads up: seating is limited. There's one small two-top table and about six seats at the bar, so this is not a big dining room. Personally, I think it makes the place feel even more like a hidden gem. My advice would be to come here for a midweek lunch if you want to avoid crowds. What's really exciting though is that Elsie's is part of the bigger renaissance happening in Gloucester City. The town has been leaning hard into its American-Irish culture, and it's showing. This year marked the 11th annual Early St. Patrick's Day celebration, which happens in early March. The parade has grown incredibly popular -- I personally know people who travel from multiple states to attend, and it's not unusual to see the Governor of New Jersey and other politicians or celebrities show up. Along with that growth, the local restaurant scene is getting really good. Within walking distance you have places like The Bank Bar across the street, Pudge's, and City Public House just to name a few. Elsie's fits right into that momentum. Small place. Big flavors. Great burger. Great shake. And absolutely worth stopping in if you're anywhere near Gloucester City. I'll definitely be back.
