THE ELK

Kathryn Guinta

The chagalatte was really good, like a mocha, not too sweet. Lots of avocado to go on the toast.

I have been twice and felt disappointed each time, the place is very nice looking, no doubt . But the coffee was not good at all and expensive, more than other coffee shops in the neighborhood. I ordered a cappuccino today that looked liked a muddy puddle of water, not like a cappuccino, I had to force myself to drink it because i really wanted coffee. The barista seemed overwhelmed and not very friendly, I can understand, everyone has a bad day, but at least try to hide it if you are working in the service industry. The lid I received closed my cup but was too small and it spilled on my shirt. Anyway the only reason I went is because they were open after 4 pm and I really wanted coffee but I won't go back. This review is for the Elk Location on Mott street not on Charles street.

Nice little coffee shop. Was buying a 2nd hand guitar in the neighborhood and stopped in for a cup. Friendly people, nice hot coffee.

Today: The angry guy working refuses to give me foam on the top!!! I am a chef, and the reason i ask for foam as it creates a different texture which makes the matcha creamier and fluffier… Any cafe in NY will make your coffees or matcha any way you ask! For $7.50 for 1 drink, why does this guy refuse to do matcha the way you ask! Please chat with him ~ as i am sure it is not company policy to refuse and be rude to a customer who politely asks for their beverage to be prepared a certain way! Your matcha is delicious ~ his service is despicable Yesterday The girls working gave me foam on top! How hard is it?? Thank you ladies! Always polite and kind!! Today: I went in for an iced Matcha, just like yesterdays delicious matcha ~ The cashier was quite rude when he said no foam on iced matcha’s ~ i said i got one yesterday! He said well, we will can do it today but not again!!! I said just give me a hot matcha, and can i have the foam in it??? He said quite rudely, yes. So i had to walk home and get ice and make my matcha iced with foam !!! Horrible way to run the business ~ $7.75 for a matcha, i think you can add the foam cold or hot!!! Please talk to your staff… if you want returning guests. I also bought terribly overpriced bracelets!! 3 for $50 but i needed a quick gift, so i got 3~! They should be $10 each not $20 each. Funny how things change in a day. Plenty of matcha & coffee cafes on every block in NY. Yesterday: Perfect Iced Matcha ask for the foam!!!!! The sweet cashier was kind and polite and fast, she also made my matcha.
