Crema's Take
“Elephant Hills makes creative seasonal drinks that punch way above what you'd expect from a Highland Park hole-in-the-wall, with their Mexican Mocha and apple cider latte earning genuine raves from customers. The coffee quality is legitimately impressive and the aroma alone will pull you in from the street, though be prepared for premium pricing and inconsistent service that doesn't always match the craft in your cup. This is a passion project from owners Sid and Ambar worth supporting, especially if you're seeking adventurous espresso drinks over the usual suspects.”
What to expect
Espresso-focused, with creative signature drinks. Slow-sit spot. Pastries on the menu.

The beautiful thing about social media is getting to follow stories like Sid and Ambar’s — from pop-up beginnings to a brick-and-mortar spot in their own city! It’s such a blessing to watch their dreams come to life and even more special to be able to experience it with them. …
