The cheese is a perfect match with the soup. The risotto parmesan is also flavourful We were seated right away since there isnt much people when we came. I would definitely try the burger next time :)

Walked by here a day trip in Elora and decided to stop by. It is a small restaurant with only a…read morehandful of tables and a somewhat upscale vibe. All of the food we got was very good. The soup was rich and comforting and paired well with bread. The baguette came with some seasoned butter. It was a nice combination but I would have appreciated if they just went the extra step to make a compound butter. I was craving something a hearty and rich, so the croque monsieur was perfect for that. The burger was also good, but we asked for sauce on the side and it still came on the burger. Both entrees came with crispy thin cut fries which gave a great textual contrast. For the food quality, the prices are actually quite reasonable. 4/5 would happily return.

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.

It was pouring out so we popped in for a hot drink. The tables were full but we sat on the stools at the window. We had turmeric lattes which were a bit too strong and chalky for me but hubby liked his. There is one washroom and it was clean enough. Great place to stop for a drink or quick bite.

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.

Hi Tea for my family on a special occasion was a complete disappointment added to which it was a 2…read moreHour drive from our home to the restaurant. 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.

The board in front of the restaurant says "Biggest waterfront patio in Elora" which is correct…read more They have a 2-storey patio and also more tables in the garden area. The serving lady was very nice and helpful. I was so disappointed to hear that most of the menu items weren't available, but I was so excited to try homemade pizza and past in an Italian restaurant. We ordered "Sausage & Peppers Pasta", "Bucatini Bison Bolognese pasta", "Classic Canadian Pizza" and "Confit Garlic & Onion Pizza". Pizza dough tasted really good, but my pizza was burned and it was served with no explanations or apologies, which was a put off. Pastas tasted ok but nothing special. To be honest, I expected more of this place based on the marketing and reviews I read on Yelp.

It was a little chilly so the restaurant was considerate enough to have light blankets available for guests. The tables seemed big for the outdoor but they had room. The food for what I had was enjoyable. Mine was the Canadiana Pizza. Very tasty & a decent about of toppings as well. The loss of a 1/2 star was due to the not completely cooked pizza shell. Everything else worked quit well including our server "David". One of the better servers that I've had in quit a while. He was very friendly & attentive & earned his tip. This is an indoor do-over.

Won't break your bank but fill your stomach with some really fresh seafood choices. I loved their fish tacos with the slaw.

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!
