Delicious food vegan available and very unique. Addictive baked goods. Great coffee and pleasant staff. Very helpful and considerate.
A co-worker brought this in and recommended the Tuscan sandwich. It did not disappoint and was tasty with generous amounts of chicken. Also got some fries on the side which were also excellent. A very enjoyable lunch!
My family enjoyed lunch from Ellen's Bakery and Café yesterday. I really liked the turkey and Brie sandwich, my little niece had a BLT. My mother had barbecue, so delish. They were easy to find and made life so much better. Let me just say we had a tough situation in our family and Ellen's staff, especially Red, helped save the day.
Came in with a friend for the Sunday Brunch rush. This place is split into two spaces: the first is the original bakery where you can pop in, grab a latte and pastry, and be off on your way. However, it also doubles as an awkward waiting area for anyone who wants to sit in the restaurants. The second area is a traditional dining restaurant area. There are a few tables, but if the patio's not open, it's a bit of a tight squeeze. There was a decent wait for 2 adults and 2 kids, but the staff were friendly and communicative as to where we all were in the line up. When we were finally seated, our host was very friendly and eager to make sure we got our food. The food itself was solid. There were sooo many things on the menu that I wanted to try, but sadly, I can only eat so much in 1 setting. So I went with my classic corned beef hash breakfast order. It was a solid choice, nothing exceptional, but still a quality experience. Overall, I'd be curious to come back here to try some of their other menu options, though I'm not convinced it'd be worth coming back here on a Sunday morning at peak hour though. If you live nearby, this is a great local haunt, otherwise, I'm not convinced it'd be worth going out of the way for.
Another delicious item from Ellens! Simply delicious! The bakery/restaurant is welcoming and clean the ambiance is wonderful and staff is super friendly and helpful.
Local gem. Everything is awesome. Chef george makes the best soups and ice cream. And Chef Ellens white chocolate cake with strawberries is life-changing!
After all of these years, I still love this place. The food is good and the service is always good. Portion sizes are large because everything is a la carte. I ate half of my salmon burger and my son only could finish one taco. The sweet potato fries are really good. They have great flavor and a really nice crunchiness to them.
