Awesome, cold brew with oat milk, and iced Matcha with almond milk! Added a pump of some simple syrup and that's all it needed. Staff was attentive and patient. Enjoyed these on our walk to the harbor. Great spot! Have to go back for some cold foam, looked delicious! read more

I just waited an hour for a burrito and coffee. I'm questioning my choices. The mocha pop up is $10 chocolate milk

Cute, quaint, and busy coffee shop tucked in the West Village with a collection of small business products lining the walls. Staff is professional and drinks are decent. The cortado is one of my favs and here, they make it well. I added a creme cap/foam cap and it was creamy and delicious. On my most recent visit we came in for a cool promo with a small skincare company and their featured drink. Sadly, the products were expired, but the drink was good. If I'm in the area, and in need of a caffeine fix, I'll likely stop by. Note: prices may vary from the menu. read more

What a cute, cozy West village coffee shop. It is not just a coffee shop but a store too. They sell a bunch of cute and yummy types of chocolate and other items like apparel. I came here to try out the viral Cloud iced cappuccino. Which looked sooo good. I was excited to try it. The price of it was a bit on the higher end. When I tried it I was a little disappointed that it was nothing special. I did like the whipped foam on top that they put along with cocoa powder. But the actual coffee itself was nothing special. I was glad to come check it out for myself but not sure I would get it a second time if I am in the area again. The staff who worked here are very nice and it was fun to see what cool things they had here. read more

Five stars for the breakfast burrito! So delicious and flavorful and awesome coffee with housemade syrups. It can get super crowded here in the mornings on the weekend and there's not much space to sit but there is little space to stand and sit outside. Great coffee shop with lots of fun novelty items you can purchase in the store as well! read more

Service was bad, took very long to get a seat and have my order ready. Burrito was not very good, it fell apart easily and taste wise I've definitely had better. The eggs also need improvement, felt like it was a bit undercooked. Overall don't recommend. read more

The Iced Cloud Cap tasted great as a dessert, but for all the posts I've seen about this, I think my expectations were set too high. The drink was perfectly beautiful though, and while showing my tourist friend around, the drink felt perfectly right in my hand as we walked around in the summer heat. The service was quick, and the staff was friendly. This was a cute spot that sold a lot of interesting goods. read more

Small coffee shop tucked in west village. It's got a lot of natural wood interior inside, with small goodies you can also buy other than coffee. The baristas were very sweet. I ordered a lavender matcha latte and for me the sweetness was good and matcha tasted high quality. read more

The Elk - Lavender matcha latte - Coffee & Tea Near Me - New York, New York

The Elk is a little coffee shop tucked off the beaten path of the main streets of the West Village or if you're walking/driving along the west side highway. The interior is up a small flight of stairs (not handicap accessible) and there is a counter to order drinks and food, as well a small store of pre-packaged goods. There is also a covered dining shed outside. There were many people working behind the counter so the line moved quickly and drinks did not take long to be ready. I got the lavender matcha latte, which included a $1 up charge for non-dairy milk bringing the total to $8.50 for a small sized matcha. The color was pretty, but it was extremely sweetened and there was not a strong lavender nor matcha flavoring, which was disappointing. read more

The cloud latte is a must try! Smooth, sweet, and just how I like it. I added a shot of vanilla for that extra sweetness and it was perfect. Just a heads up--there's no real seating, aside from a few tiny (uncomfortable) stools outside. read more

A very small and cute aesthetic café nestled in West Village. The cozy ambiance and charming decor make it a pleasant spot to relax. We took our food and drinks down to the river for a nice picnic. However, I found the breakfast burrito and iced latte to be just alright. The burrito lacked meat and cheese, and it was overloaded with peppers, which overshadowed the other flavors. The iced latte was decent but nothing special. read more

Coffee is good. Service is nice and store itself is cute. I think the foam is aesthetic but its just normal cold foam like just a whipped cream moment haha not worth an extra 2.50$ maple oat latte was nice but i wouldnt wait in line for it read more

This spot is super cute. I love the exterior & interior and the staff is both friendly and helpful. My friend got a hot americano and thought it was tasty and I got the iced lavender matcha and was ceremonial grade so that's always a plus. We also split the chorizo breakfast burrito and it was light and very good. Last minute add on was the berry chia ball and that is unreal! Highly recommend. It's a perfect spot for a light lunch and hang. I also love that they have a cute dumbwaiter to bring up the food from the kitchen! read more

Heads up! Kitchen closes at 4pm so you can't get smoothies after that time. The lady was super friendly about it though, and in general I really love this coffee shop as they curate lots of fun merchandise as well and have a nice outdoor patio. read more

I saw this place on an influencers IG story as she mentioned The Elk has the best breakfast burrito in NYC. As a breakfast burrito lover, I had to come over and see if this was true. Made it over on a late Friday morning and saw there was outside seating as the place does not have room to eat inside. Was a nice day, so it worked for me. Its in the West Village so the feel was everyone comes here after a yoga class or they just love wearing yoga pants to come here lol. They have a nice breakfast menu as well as all the popular coffee drinks, but the mission was breakfast burrito. The burrito was a nice size, not too big and not too small. Comes with egg, chorizo, pico di gallo, avocado, cheese and sour cream. While it was decent, this is not the best BB in NYC...pretty decent though. Staff is very nice here and loves their customers. They have a lot of different things you can buy like seasoning, cooking oils and many household items. If I lived in West Village, I would probably stop here often. read more

The Elk is a super small, cute little coffee shop just off the main streets of the West Village. While there's no indoor seating, they have a great ambiance. It's a coffee shop and tiny little store all wrapped into one. We got two Strawberry Matcha Lattes with goat milk, which were expensive, but excellent. And two little chocolate energy balls, which weren't that flavorful, but felt healthy. The customer service was super friendly. I'd definitely go back for the drinks and to buy little gift items (gourmet jarred food, candles, etc.) read more

Agree with other reviews about the staff's snide, too-good-to-pay-attention-to-the-customer attitude. Or maybe my diction being standard English rather than the dialect (hipster?) I hear some people order with creates the issue. But the food and drinks are good. I'll be back, although I feel I'm the only New Yorker there because I'm always overhearing others talking about the Virginia or Texas suburbs they're from -- perhaps NYU students go there a lot. Overall, I like Elk. Next time I'll try speaking with that whatever-it-is accent while ordering a latte, and see what happens. read more

one of my favorite neighborhood go - tos in west village. The iced lattes/matcha lattes are strong - their baked goods are incredibly crisp and delicious. There is a store of smaller brands in the cafe, so you can roam around while you wait for your order. They have healthy options like quinoa salad, greek salad. There is outdoor seating under a roof that parallels charles street. Overall a cute place to check out if you're in the area! read more

Came here for the Matcha Latte. There isn't much seating and it can sometimes get crowded so you might be waiting and drifting around for a bit before you can find a seat. I ordered the Matcha Latte with soy milk. The soy milk was surprisingly good quality, it wasn't too sweet and while it did taste of soy, it didn't reek too strongly of it. They also did a good job with the matcha, properly whisking it before pouring it into the drink. It looked like they also served a variety of affordable breakfast options, so might have to be back in the morning when I want an easy breakfast. read more

I've seen The Elk in West Village be mentioned in so many instagram reels that I gave it a try with high expectations. I ordered my iced oat latte, which is my go to order at any coffee shops. I was disappointed, the coffee tasted so watery and bland. It was not worth $7. Maybe the food is good here? I may be a harsh critic but I don't know if it's worth the hype read more

If there was a cafe that screamed west village, it would be this one! It is so beautifully set up and totally matches the west village vibe. The decor and colors make it the perfect place to stop by for coffee and pastries. They don't have many seats inside but have a nice outdoor space! The coffee is really good and some pastries. read more

Stopped in with a friend on Sunday afternoon to grab some coffee! My friend had recommended this place to me and so I wanted to check it out. It's in west village which is always a perk. We got there around 2pm and there was a line. But it moved rather quickly! The inside is small but cute. No indoor seating. We got ordered oat milk lattes. They were ready so quickly! We also got cookies. I got the salted peanut butter and my friend got a chocolate chip. The peanut butter was SO good. So chewy and thick! A perfect afternoon treat to complement my latte. All the outdoor seating was taken so we sat on a stoop next to the coffee shop and enjoyed our delicious lattes. Worth a visit if you are in the west village! read more

So The Elk actually surprised me. When I heard that they had good breakfast burritos from friends, social media & others I took it for a grain of salt because of my high standards of breakfast burritos and mexican-american food in general. I know I can be a bit of a snob :(. I'll say, even though it's small and nothing similar to breakfast burritos in California, it packs a punch. Instead of the monstrous bite of every ingredient in the kitchen that I'd get with breakfast burritos in California, I got a burrito with carefully selected ingredients that worked really damn well. I recommend anyone that wants a small breakfast bite with a drink to try it out. read more

Great breakfast burrito -- I subbed the chorizo for black beans. It had avocado, cheese, pick, and some sort of cream it seemed like in it. Very good and not too heavy. Perfect cheese amount! I only thought it was strange there were no menu prices for the drinks?? I want to know how much what I'm ordering is without having to ask. read more
