“ Okay another Lost in the City review. We woke up in a part of the city we normally do not find ourselves. Wife was Hungry (and if you read my reviews you know), so food is needed post haste. We do a quick scan on the Gmaps and we find ourselves here at Little Elephants Cafe. Street parking available close to the venue, we walk in with plenty of open seating, both inside and out. We are met with a smile and order our food. I asked for an add-on, a fried egg, to my Elephant Turkish B.L.S.T., no issues. We got seats and waited a short time for our hot food to come out. My wife's Elephant Pulled Pork tacos looked great and tasted the same. Only mishap was I requested my egg to be on the sandwich but no matter still came out hot and I added it no worries. Oh the coffee, they use Altura beans and my wife's mocha and my XL flat white (2 handled mugI know right) was delicious. No complaints, a nice combo of both really good food and really good coffee. Overall a great experience. So if or when you find yourself lost in the city don't hesitate to make your way over to Little Elephants Cafe, you won't regret it. ”

“ First time going to this café and what a great decision that was as I arrived just after 2.30pm, although they close at 3pm the owner was just lovely and took my order ( Cappuccino & a quiche). coffee was perfect & quiche Delicious !! The staff were cleaning the already spotless interior but at no time made me feel I should leave in fact I shared a few laughs with one of the guys sweeping up which was nice. Cannot wait to take my daughter there for breakfast and can't speak highly enough about my experience @ the Little Elephant Café, if you're in the neighborhood or across town this establishment is Defiantly worth a visit !! A Huge Thank You to the Team from - The Big Elephant ”

“ I ordered the pork belly eggs benedict. It was so unique, and the pork belly was cooked to perfection! Would definitely come again for the eggs benny! ”

- Stella Lee -

“ Came here for brunch. Thought the service was friendly and the food was really yum. I had the pork belly egg benedict and maybe the only criticism is that it's a bit too rich but every bite was so yum. The roastie was crunchy, poached eggs were runny, the hollandaise sauve was extra savoury to go with the asian style fatty pork belly. Also they had the food ready like super quick. ”

“ Favorite cafe in Ellerslie! Always love visiting this cafe, the staff askew always so friendly and welcoming :) Delicious looking cabinet food although I always get the scrambled eggs on toast (I am a creature of habit ) Great street patio to enjoy when the sun is shining! Lots of seats inside as well, recommend to literally everyone. ”
