Elvio's Coffee

I've been wanting to visit Elvio's for quite a while and finally took the trip today. What a vibe! The inside is cozy and they had a live musician playing who was talented and charming. My trip had two major missions: 1) get some pastel de natas and 2) get a breakfast sandwich. It was super crowded inside so I sat down at the last remaining table while I told my husband to go up and get us some drinks, a muffin, and some natas. I planned to look at the menu online to determine which sandwich I wanted while he did that. The menu is totally inaccessible! There is no online menu (the page I clicked goes to a 404 not found message) and you can only do the "online ordering" version of the menu, which gives names to the drinks, food items, and sandwiches with NO EXPLANATION OF WHAT THEY A

Atmosphere and vibe was great. Lots of tables, cool decor, and music on the TV. Great customer service with a smile. Latte and expresso was worth the value. The food was mediocre at best. The fig and pig flatbread was good (5/10), not great. It stated it had brisket; if it did it was far and few in between. The omlette sandwich was good (7/10). The star, the pastel de nata (10/10). The cinnamon roll was a cinnamon roll (6/10). Total bill: $45.00. Cost is that you pay. Value is what you get. For me the cost and value do not match here. Will I come back? Possibly, but probably not.

A new coffee shop right by the water! The view outside of the shop was beautiful. There were lots of seating inside. They had a lot of interesting fall drinks and tons of interesting baked goods. The breakfast sandwich was premade and kept in a case. It was a decent size, and with good flavors. But it would have been nice if it was made to order, because the bread was a little dry. I also tried the egg tart. The custard had a hint of lemon taste which I liked. The crust was nice and flakey. The inside had interesting rock band decorations if that’s what you are into. The music playing was kind of loud so it was hard to hear my friend over the music.

After reading all the 5 star reviews we couldn’t wait to check this place out. When we arrived there was zero acknowledgement from the staff. They saw us and completely ignored us but all the other customers that came in got a “hello” If Elvio’s was buzzing then I would understand the lack of acknowledgment but it felt like if your face doesn’t fit you don’t get acknowledged. The tables were dirty @ 08:20 (this place opens at 08:00). We ordered the Pastel De Nata Latte, Boule De Mel Latte and a Chocolate Croissant. It’s a shame that our lattes tasted of nothing. The Chocolate Croissant was fresh out of the oven and didn’t have any layers. It was stodgy. Would be more useful as a door stopper. We didn’t bother to complain about the Croissant to the staff as they didn’t seem approachab

Got some coffee and food to go since all of the seating was taken and was standing room only. The gingerbread latte was really good, only wish I knew there were different drink sizes so I could get a larger one. There are a couple other items on the menu I’d like to try another time when I am able to stop in. Their double chocolate muffin was also decent.
