EXCELLENT Based on 152 reviews Posted on Google enzo cummaudoTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Popped by today for the first time as I was in the area. I had the big brekkie which was very nice! Nice coffee and a yummy Bischoff Milkshake. The staff were very friendly. The Manager Joshi was very pretty 😊Posted on Google Shan LeeTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Great food!Posted on Google ankit gahlotTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Absolutely loved the chilli scramble! Perfectly cooked, packed with flavour and beautifully presented. Every bite was delicious, with just the right balance of spice and texture. Huge compliments to the chef for putting together such an incredible breakfast. Definitely coming back for this one! 🔥👏Posted on Google TAWTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Still waiting for food after over an hour. The place is not busy, it took 30 minutes for one coffee to come out, the other one took another ten minutes. My girlfriend’s food came out cold, but still tasty.Posted on Google Meet PatelTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Had such a lovely experience at The Elstern Social! The latte was smooth, creamy and perfectly balanced, and the French toast was absolutely delicious — soft, fluffy and full of flavour. Everything was fresh, beautifully presented and really hit the spot. Definitely a great place for a relaxed breakfast or brunch. Will definitely be back!Posted on Google MelissaPTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We’ve been to this venue twice now for brunch and the food had been nothing short of fantastic. The meal prices are excellent value for the quality & quantity, 5 stars to the chef! We highly rate the delicious skillet shakshuka and the sunrise omelette as well as the other dishes in the pics attached. The service is friendly. The venue is clean and a bit quirky with an interesting selection of decorations. We especially enjoyed the quiet rear courtyard. Highly recommend! See you again soon!Posted on Google AshleyTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We had an event at the venue. They were very professional and it went very well .
