Crema's Take
“The Elk's signature drink "The Cloud" is worth seeking out alone—regulars rave about both the espresso itself and the care that goes into each cup, especially when Jeffrey's behind the bar. Beyond coffee, their egg sandwiches and breakfast burritos are legitimately excellent, making this a rare spot where the food matches the beverage quality. The outdoor seating on Mott Street is perfect for lingering, though be prepared for a small wait during peak hours and some wildly overpriced seasonal experiments that don't always land.”
What to expect
Espresso-focused, with creative signature drinks. A slow-sit, outdoor seating spot, good for meetings. Full breakfast, pastries, and light food on the menu.

I was looking for a cute coffee shop with outdoor seating on the street and The Elk have plenty of tables outside. And they have one of the best egg sandwiches wraps I’ve ever had in New York. And you can make all sandwich gluten free :)
The Elk has the Absolute BEST coffee in the city! The Cloud has my ♥️ and a HUGE shout out to Jeffrey! He is always so so very kind and helpful and he makes the BEST Cloud! The coffee plus the connection with Jeffrey has been priceless! The area is super nice with ample seating…
Loved my drink and the burrito was AMAZING. So fresh and delicious. We waited about 10-15 mins for our food. Seating was limited to a small area outside the cafe. Nice staff. Would definitely go back when im in the area :)
Cute coffee shop that also sells a small range of items such as lotions, candles and also packaged salads and sandwiches. I tried one of their seasonal drinks; the cinn-full latte iced which has cinnamon and honey. It was delicious! Perfectly sweet and great espresso. Service…
