"Just what this neighborhood has needed!! A cozy local business serving up coffee and beloved Italian bakery treats. Enjoyed a wonderful cappuccino, rainbow cookies and a tiramisu cup. Highly recommend the rainbow cookies with raspberry jam!!"

"Elvira and her staff are great people. The store is always super clean, and the coffee bean quality is delicious. The neighborhood people are nice and friendly, and it's steps away from Empire Outlets. Highly recommended for a good cappuccino and a relaxing time."

"Outstanding Italian pastry shop with great coffee and sassy service, between the Nonna’s restaurant and the St. George Theatre. Be sure to try the authentic Italian ices in season."

"Elvira's Cafe now, great staff, great pastries, awesome coffee, fresh bagels. Just what I wanted, getting off the ferry... Perfect, will return whenever I'm in town."
