Stopped here for coffee as we thought it would be a better option than to Shell that we originally pulled into (cafe is located in the same parking lot). Definitely great coffee at a great price, top notch service as well. We didn’t order food while we were here though that is an option.

I have been going to Cafe Elite for some time, I went today and had a punch card with a free drink on it. The lady grabbed the card and said we are no longer doing this. I had the money to buy my 2 drinks but the fact that I was clearly a returning customer and could not have my previous purchases honored is wrong. It’s just a drink and I understand that times and systems change but previous items should be honored. I will not be returning

Ordered a snoothie; came out really good. Kinda pricey; $7+. Only true complaint was the wait and how the vehicles come in and out on both sides. Takes quite a bit to get to the booth to give my order. If I ever see cars there I avoid this one and go up the road because the wait tends to be too long.

I’ve only been here once but I absolutely fell in Love with the Barista. My car broke down close by and decided to have a coffee once she opened up and bam! One of the most beautiful, nicest, down to earth girls I’ve ever met. And it was the very best coffee i ever had. Yummy. Always wanted to go back but to scared to lol lame I know.

Horrible experience. The girls are in a hurry and don’t listen to orders. Mulled over me when asking what I wanted and the kids didn’t get what I ordered because the baristas didn’t care. When I expressed I was frustrated one barista said ok and walked away. No concern, no offer to resolve. I paid $30 to be disrespected and unsatisfied. I will go to GC or Starbucks. Boo, this is the ONLY Cafe Elite that is a waste of space.

We are visiting from Oregon and was looking for a coffee shop. Saw this one and randomly stopped in. The ladies were very put together and had smiles. I got a blended white chocolate mocha and my sister and daughter got smoothies. OMG the coffee is so good! I love a strong coffee taste. The smoothies were nicely blended and my 5 year old asked if we could go back unfortunately we leave tomorrow back to Oregon and I don’t think they have these coffee stands. Thanks for the great drinks ladies!
