The service here is horrendous. I bought 2 macarons and they gave it to me in a bag that had a slit on the side which I was unaware of. I was juggling my daughter, a bottle of water I also purchased and putting my credit card away because there was a long line and the macarons slipped out the side of the bag. They made me buy 2 more saying “that’s why I handed the bag to you upright “A warning would have been nice! Anywhere else would have just given me 2 other macarons. You lost a customer and I will never recommend this place.The only reason why I bought 2 more was because my daughter wanted it but I would never step foot back into this place even though I am in the building multiple times a week.The macarons were also very dry!Appalled by your response. They didn’t fall out because my hands were full they fell because of the slit on the side. A little grace shown because of the fact that my hands were full and I had an accident while turning back to see where my daughter ran off to would have been appreciated. A little kindness goes a long way but being blamed by the server standing there with his arms crossed because I wasn’t aware of the slit on the side is just unbelievable.

This month we celebrated our son's 5th birthday party at Elia Cafe and I can only say that we had a pleasant and wonderful experience. The owner of the Cafe guaranteed that the birthday party was a success! He was attentive to all the details from start to finish. The service was excellent, the staff was very friendly and helpful. The food was delicious especially the sliders! I recommend this place for any kid’s or family event. Or to spend a quiet afternoon sipping on a coffee while the kiddos play in the park.

I’m all about supporting small businesses, but business has to be earned and customer service is the foundation and tell of a good business. This cafe unfortunately for me and my party left a very poor first impression based on the rudeness and apathy from staff after making us wait 45 minutes for an uncooked rice bowl. Then continued to make things worse by getting defensive at the customer when the order was missing the protein. See below for the owner’s demeanor over this one review. This is not how a small business should treat customers when there is a mistake. Cannot recommend. It seems they haven’t yet realized that valuing patronage comes first from valuing each and every patron. At least there are many other wonderful businesses nearby to support.Daily BreadCarrot ExpressWayside MarketCremaFrench bakery

Stopped for breakfast at 9:00, when they opened prior to a meeting at Pinecrest Library at 9:30. Ordered 3 fried eggs with toast, and coffee. It took 20 minutes to bring them, and there was literally nobody else there when I entered. The coffee wasn't served until after I finished the eggs! I asked for the coffee about 20 minutes after I ordered it, and they said they were just brewing it. The toast was just one slice, dry, and they didn't even give me a butter packet. For this, I paid $15 which included a a 15% tip that I now regret leaving.

Love this little cafe at the Pinecrest Community Center. I just wish it wasn't as expensive as it is.

Nice modern, cozy Greek tendencies restaurant located at Pinecrest Community Center. Greek dishes typically contain various healthy ingredients such as olive oil, nuts, and fish, all linked to better heart health. There is also a playground for kids, so parents can ease forba moment. The library is right next to you in case you like cultural activities. It's worth the visit!

Tried to go in today, and I was walking up Café worker was locking door 10 minutes before closing time listed online/storefront. Did not even try to ask if what I may have wanted was something quick, like a bottle of water.

This café is mediocre at best - the food is bland, the drinks watered-down, and somehow, even the smoothies taste dry. I ordered a "Very Berry Smoothie" - but don't let that trick you. It was so un-flavorful, nor would I call it a smoothie. It was a luke-warm, watered down juice-like beverage that only slightly tasted like anything that came from a plant. Even thirty minutes later, I still have the aftertaste stuck in my mouth.However, the hummus wasn't TERRIBLE. It wasn't good, though. Like everything, it was mediocre.The prices at this restaurant are way too high to justify the taste of the food and/or drinks, and the attitude of the servers doesn't add any points.For me, the only saving graces this café has is the décor and location. The furniture is very chic, and the location right by the playground is very nice.

Elia is quite popular with the Pinecrest crowd, seems to have a lot of regulars and is a bit of an undiscovered gem. It's next to the community center at the old parrot jungle. They have both an inside and an outside eating area. You order at the counter and your food will be brought out to you. I've tried the Mediterranean chicken salad - so good with spinach, olives, red onions, blue cheese, raisins, and I skipped the cherry tomatoes. I've also had the vegetarian panini. They have a lot up on their blackboard that isn't on the online menu. But takeout doesn't seem to be the way to go, anyway.
