Get something fried! Their batter is unbelievable!…read more We took two out-of-town couples there for lunch as it's my favorite place in Yellow Springs and one of my favorite in the entire Dayton area. We sat at the bar and Victoria's service was over the top! She was very friendly, funny, and chatty even though she was very busy and the place was hopping. One of our friends mentioned wanting to buy buckeye candies and she told us about a place across the street that sometimes carried them. A few minutes later, she came back and told us she'd called them and confirmed they were in stock! Over and above customer service. But the food...amazing as usual. I love the pub food with a German theme. Several of us had the Bratwurst Reuben and it was delicious. I told everyone they had to order something fried because Trails' batter is some of the best I've ever tasted. The onion rings didn't disappoint. Our friends were very impressed with the place, as were we!

I always enjoy coming to Ellie's and supporting this wonderful little spot in Yellow Springs. The…read morepeople are so friendly, and there's something special about the welcoming feel of this town. I started with an espresso martini before my Benedict Your Way with smoked salmon, and it was so good that I had to have another one after my meal! Smooth, delicious, and the perfect way to bookend a great breakfast. And then there was the Benedict. I substituted the English muffin for a biscuit, added smoked salmon, and asked for extra hollandaise. Life changing. The biscuit was such a delicious upgrade with the smoked salmon, eggs, and that rich, creamy hollandaise. I honestly didn't want the meal to end. But the real finale was the crème brûlée. Absolutely perfect. The caramelized sugar on top had that beautiful crisp crack when I broke into it, while the custard underneath was silky, creamy, and perfectly balanced. Not too sweet, just rich enough, and the contrast between the delicate caramelized topping and smooth custard was exactly what a great crème brûlée should be. Paired with my last espresso martini, it was an incredibly satisfying way to finish the meal. My only reason for giving 4 stars instead of 5 is that I'd love to see a few more vegetarian and pescatarian options on the menu. Otherwise, Ellie's is a lovely place with genuinely friendly people, great food and drinks, and that warm Yellow Springs charm. I'm happy to support them and will definitely be back!

The atmosphere was peaceful with nice ambient music in the background The food was all made with fresh and natural ingredients that you could tell right away why they are highly rated in the area. The eggs were wholesome and perfectly cooked over medium, the backon was perfectly cooked, the potatoes were seasoned just right, but honestly loved the in-house homemade English Muffin The other meal was just as delicious except there was a a vegetarian patty that hands down one of the best we've ever tasted, had to add a o inch of salt, but overall delicious. Finally, and probably the superstar was the pancake with a strawberry and cream topping that was so sweet and amazing that you didn't even need syrup Even though there are only a handful of tables inside, there is a patio out back that we'll be back for to try lunch someday. Awesome little Cafe to stop in if anyone is wandering around Yellow Springs!

Ran inside, 4 employees just standing behind the counter. Not to concerned since it was my fault but still kinda surprised. Probably won't order dinner from them again.
