    Fully Loaded Burrito and Matcha Latte
    Ingrid M.

    Located on Washington Blvd, can't believe I had not been here before. It's a nice little spot, its vibe is very namaste zen. I loved the decore, nice place to grab b a coffee and chill. There's WiFi, with sitting inside and outside. Ordered a Matcha latte with oat milk , it was delicious. Froth on top and very silky. Not too sweet and not too tart, perfect balance. Fully loaded burrito in a spinach wrap. Rich in flavor, with eggs, potatoes, bacon, green bell peppers and cheese. Classic breakfast combo, eggs, bacon potatoes and a side of toast. Both these dishes come with a side salsa. They were both tasty. The service was great, very friendly staff and they checked in with their customers. If you're in the area or not I recommend trying this place.

    House Drip Coffee
    Amber D.

    Nice cafe in Harvard Heights. It's been on my list to try for quite some time now and I'm glad I finally got the chance to go. The place is very calm and clean. I ordered the avocado toast and house drip coffee. I love the presentation of my meal and that they steamed the creamer in the coffee. I wish my coffee was a bit stronger which may have been from the amount of creamer in it. The avocado toast was good... pretty basic but I'm sure if I had ordered something more it would be great. The ladies working there were very nice. Next time I'm back I will try something more filling and maybe an Americano.

    A vibrant and uniquely decorated cafe with two big blue elephant wall murals and comfy furniture to lounge at, eat at, or even relax after your food a coma. Their menu has various brunch and lunch options, from paninis to breakfast burritos, wraps, and more. You can also pair your food with one of their drinks from the espresso bar, tea, smoothies, and juices. This may or may not be a hot take, but their strawberry smoothie was one of my favorite smoothies of all time. It has brown suga in it and was so fire. I would come back for a smoothie. Going into their breakfast, I got their loaded breakfast burrito with eggs, bacon, potatoes, onion, and cheese. I have to say this burrito was not it. The potatoes were spicy for absolutely no reason and were too thick. I swear the burrito consisted of 70% potato. I would definitely disclose to customers that it's spicy.

    Food was delicious! Big flavor coming out of this hole in the wall! I can't wait to explore more of the menu.

    I needed coffee and wanted to try something new, so when I saw that this was highly rated, I rerouted my map to come to Blue Elephant Café. I got the "dirty pirate" at the recommendation of one of the workers because I like a sweeter drink, and it was so unique and delicious! The service was great and it felt like a warm and welcoming space. Will definitely be coming back soon to try their food!

    Mocha frappe, was perfectly made with Almond milk and it was definitely delicious

    We made a quick stop and decided to try this coffee shop and definitely enjoyed my drink and cream cheese bagel

    Breakfast Combo

    Finally made it to the Blue Elephant Café. Food, service, ambiance, music all was EXCELLENT!!! I will be back. Amazing place! Thank you!!!!

    Manager called me a lair while I was still waiting for them to fix their mistake.

    Food is to simple for it to be coming out 1hour late every time I've tried giving this place the benefit of the doubt but every time It's a disappointment. If I could give it no stars I most definitely would! Glad I left a review while I continued to wait. Still didn't receive the complete order. Then tried asking me to bring down the review??

    Egg & Chorizo Burrito
    Jimmy D.

    Okay this place is a little hole in the wall but I'd say is worth trying. Driving by too fast, you'll definitely miss it. The place is tiny, but will accommodate small groups. Maybe a group of 4 -6 max for a table. The kitchen is staffed by a few workers so you'll have to be patience with your order but I'll say it's worth the wait. I've been to this cafe before the renovation and it was good then and even better now. The burrito was delicious, however you must must must ask for extra salsa to go with it, it just pairs reallly well. The breakfast croissant was delicious as well, however I'd say, they may have put a little too much mayo which made it a tad bit salty, aside from that, the croissant was really flaky and fresh tasting. I had the cafe de olla from here and it was really well prepared, I didn't put a photo because I forgot to take one (sorry!) but worth trying if you like that coffee. Can be a little on the pricey side so expect to spend a little bit you do get quality food. Will come back again!

    Such an interesting place to check this beautiful spot out! It's blue, it has elephant art in it and very nice vibrations! Me and my lady ordered some matcha and the service was very on time and accommodating! Delicious food and very tasty drinks!!!

Parking here may be difficult to find on the street, but they do have valet, too. On a Saturday afternoon, this spot is packed and quite hard to find a place to sit. Wi-Fi is available, though note that plugs and seating may be another issue. Not every spot comes with a plug, and it's going to be full, so you may need to wait 15-20 minutes. It is indeed a small spot, so if you're looking for a quiet spot to work, this might not be it. The interior decor, though, is quite clean aesthetically and is relaxing to work in. The Matcha Latte, though, let me say if you're in need of an afternoon pick-me-up, this will keep you energized, even without the sugar! A few sips in and a half cup later, I had so much energy I could probably run a marathon if I had the right shoes (and I don't even like running).

It's smooth / not overly gritty like some cafes I've tried, has just the right amount of sweetness & love that they don't skimp out on the cream top. You can even purchase their black sesame paste in a jar. The Vanilla Cold Brew is decent as well, great if you enjoy more coffee flavor vs cream. The only con is it usually takes a while even when there's no line. Looks like there's only 1 barista majority of the time. You can order online though I think prices are a bit higher there. Parking is free but it's a small lot.

The space is set up great for catching up with friends (like we did) or getting some work done (I always see at least one person on a laptop when I drop by). There's a little parking lot right in front, and I've been able to park there easily each visit. I normally order some sort of cold coffee.

I've had some sort of tomato pastry and a jalapeño cheese croissant, both of which satisfied whatever savory craving I was having.

At the time of visit, a gentleman had taken my order, and it was a rather plain and unwelcoming experience. I had my usual iced latte. When asked about receipts, I mentioned that it was okay but was keying in my information for the Rewards Program. After making the drink, he nonchalantly looked at the tablet and CANCELLED my information, then made eye contact with me - rude! What's the saving grace of this place? The espresso for sure. The iced latte is one that I'd rank fairly highly in my list of Ktown cafes. It's a fairly minimalist spot with Wi-Fi and comfortable decor. The benches are lightweight and will move if you're not too careful, barely on the narrower end, too. If you visit, may you never have to deal with the service by this gentleman with the earrings - utterly horrid.
