I love this place, coffee is amazing and the staff friendly. Ambience is great BUT the wifi cannot handle more than what seems like 6 ports. If there are more than a handful of people there I cant get anything done at all because I get kicked out. If they fix that I would easily rate this place 5/5

Wonderful customer service. Nice cozy coffee shop if you need a change from Starbucks. Coffee is also very good. I’ve gotten several types Cortados, latte, etc.. Hot or cold . Straight brewed coffee. Also, the teas are very good. Very wide variety.

Always my favorite cafe for coffee. Ive been coming here a couple times a week for almost a year and love the design and overall atmosphere that makes up the cafe as a whole. The staff are also so fantastic, friendly and just really great people. Thanks for all the amazing coffees and chats!- Miles

Coffee is good! Just don’t order the affogato. They put 2 shots over ice cream, so it melts within a minute. I was wondering why they didn’t give me a spoon in the first place, and now I know. I asked them how am I supposed to eat it when there’s no ice cream in it, and she said I could just drink it, So I did

Coffee is burnt when roasted, owner is rude, barista is unprofessional, condescending. They just spin the screen for tips at your face with out any good customer service.

I visit the area occasionally to see family who live in Las Flores area and this cafe is my go to spot for coffee and having a nice place to work from. The place is clean, service is good, and coffee is good as well. I always go with a hot or iced vanilla latte.

Got the cold brew and wife got an iced chai latte today. Cold brew tasted really watered down. I get it was a light roast but still it should have some body and flavor to it. Wife’s iced chai also tasted very watered down. Not sure if it was just an off day after reading other reviews but we were both pretty disappointed.

Fantastic fun new coffee shop in RSM. The coffee is great and everyone is super friendly.

This is such a quaint little place! They roast on site so their coffee is never burnt which is such a turn around from the old coffee shop I frequented. Their pastries are absolutely to die for as well! The owner drives 45 minuets every single day to go pick them up which is so respectful. He really really cares about the quality of his baked goods and coffee beans but you can tell he puts the customers above all. Definitely my new favorite coffee shop :)

Very nice place, coffee was very good. They roast their own bean and you can taste the difference. Mostly quite, the music was not too loud, and the service was fast and friendly. free Wi-Fi and available outlets, make it a good place to get some work done on the road. I wish they had one of these ice water pitchers that you can just get some water when you need to without asking the busy barista.

This is a great independent coffee shop. I wish I lived closer, I would visit regularly. Very friendly baristas here. I am told the owner roasts his own beans and that could be why the coffee I ordered (Ethiopian) was so exceptionally smooth. Check them out!

Great local coffee shop with quality coffee! Wish they had something to warm their pastries, but other than that, great space. They have worked hard to customize it and make it feel really cozy and unique. Board games, books, ample indoor / outdoor space.

Best coffee place in the area. High quality roasted in house. Always friendly smiling faces. Go one time and you will never go to Starbucks again.

Very nice staff and delicious rotating coffees. Although very subjective, I thoroughly enjoyed the music playing lightly in the background as well. Coming from Seattle, I can really appreciate a great coffee shop and this is nice cup of Joe.

So, so good!! Got cafe Borgia (orange mocha) and was perfect, also chocolate almond custard croissant was amazing! Open regular hours during Covid, inside looks nice but can’t dine in right now. This place is doing it right, go support great coffee!

My wife and I stopped here for a cup of coffee. This place is clean and nice. They have several different choices for coffee. And a great selection of things to eat also. This was the first time we came here but we will definitely come back again. It is nice to have a place like this close in our neighborhood. Highly recommend.

2018-05-22 21:28:05

Outstanding. The owner is super cool. The coffee is top notch. And they are the only shop in rsm that sells the black bakery goods that were rated number 1. By far the best private owned coffee shop around! Screw starbucks! Come here!

MUST TRY-Originally I stumbled upon this coffee shop out of necessity real.... Spent the night in the area last night and absolutely needed a cup of coffee to launch the day, after some yelp-stalking research, I found my way to Elissimo and WOW am I glad I did. They welcomed me with open arms and conversation quickly drifted to all things passionate driven around coffee. Ownership and the staff are like a family that are so incredibly knowledgeable about their craft; from the high quality green coffee beans they source, to being completely in touch with the roast profile the community demands.It seems that theyre hyper aware of the small business community theyve created and have gone to the extend of sourcing even the best local pasties to offer in store. Its amazing to witness a true craftsman and the fruits of their passions come to life and be remarkable. Its safe to say Ill definitely be coming back every time Im in the area and would highly recommend checking them out for yourself, chat with the team, and have a legitimate coffee expirence. Thanks guys!!

I come here for the big tables to study! The coffee is good and the music isnt distracting. Not too busy midday on a Saturday, but they will likely be out of pastries before 11am.

Review №43

Supporting small local business. They roast their own coffee! All the variety you want. A small batch of pastries but they definitely beat the ones carried by chain coffee shops!

HEY. ARE YOU LOOKING FOR A STAPLE COFFEE JOINT THAT ISN’T MASS-ROASTED AND DEVOID OF CHARACTER LIKE STARBUCKS? TRY THIS PLACE; CLEMENT AND HIS STAFF ARE THE BEES-KNEES. WHY AM I TYPING IN CAPS? BECAUSE THIS PLACE IS EXCELLENT. COFFEE IS RELIABLY GOOD, PASTRIES ARE FEW IN SELECTION BUT DE-FLIPPIN-LICIOUS. NEXT TIME YOU WANT A PINEAPPLE UPSIDE-DOWN FRAPPU-WHATEVER FROM SB, DON’T BUY ONE AND COME SUPPORT A GREAT SMALL BUSINESS INSTEAD.

Part of a dying breed of real coffeehouses - complete with a roaster, old books and table games to pass the time. All it needs are some dissident philosophers and avant-garde artists to hold court there.
