Crema's Take
“Elysee excels at the classics—their pastries hit that sweet spot between indulgence and restraint, with a Napoleon that delivers serious crunch and generous proportions that'll make you forget you're in a strip mall. The brunch menu holds its own too, turning out well-executed eggs and sides that pair perfectly with their coffee, making this a solid spot if you're willing to hunt for parking and don't mind squeezing in at a busy table.”
What to expect
Classic coffee drinks done right. A outdoor seating spot, good for meetings. Full breakfast, pastries, and light food on the menu. Family friendly. Parking available.

We tried at least eight different ice cream flavors and all of them were incredibly delicious. It was hard to choose a favorite. The two ladies who helped us were very friendly and cheerful, thank you to them. I highly recommend this place to anyone who loves ice cream and…
