I had a great experience at this coffee shop. The food was delicious with plenty of coffee options to choose from. I especially enjoyed the latte flights. It was nice to see a good selection of vegan options too. The vegetarian choices were also decent. Parking is typical street parking on 17th Ave.

I recently went to Element Cafe and tried their condensed milk latte, which was even better than I expected. It was incredibly smooth and had just the right amount of sweetness. The espresso cookie was warm and melted in my mouth. While I'm not a fan of matcha, the light flavor didn't really appeal to me. The staff were very knowledgeable and helpful. Even though the seating area is limited, the cafe's location on 17th Street adds to its charm. I will definitely be coming back for the amazing condensed milk latte. As for parking, there are limited spots available on the street right in front and down the street.

Element Café is a cozy spot with a welcoming atmosphere that’s perfect for enjoying a quality cup of coffee. The menu has a nice variety, but the standout is definitely the Canadiano, which is rich, smooth, and well-balanced in flavor. The staff are friendly and attentive, making the experience easy and enjoyable, and the relaxed vibe of the café makes it a great place to sit down and unwind.
