Ellie's Cafe - Somerdale

First time me and the wife tried this place because why not try a local breakfast shop. Unfortunately we had to take it to go because the place doesn?t have that many seats and by ?doesn?t have that many seats? we saw two tables that seated 2 people each. Ordered a latte, orange juice, waffle, egg whites, sausage, plain bagel toasted with butter, and home fries. When it rang up $33 I was surprised but paid it anyways. Wife got the latte but it was filled to the brim, tasted burnt, and was boiling hot. The toasted bagel she got was stale and globbed with butter. The worst part was they forgot to put the home fries in the bag and all this to wait for an hour. Waste of money and waste of time. Don?t bother, if you?re looking for something else for breakfast you?ll have better luck at Starbucks than this place.

Best pork roll, egg, and cheese on an everything bagel I've ever had. The bagel was so fresh and flavorful and the pork roll was perfectly cooked. The employees there work in sync together and make your visit super quick and effortless. 10/10 for breakfast.

After the gym I decided to stop by Eli?s cafe to pick something up for my boyfriend and I since our usual spot is closed on Mondays. We got the chicken Cesar wrap and the chicken sandwich and we were not impressed with the quality of the food. For starters the chips we were given were stale, and the chicken was bland and rubbery. I personally could not finish my chicken Cesar wrap because the taste of the grill was so overwhelming. I?d rather go to our usual spot verdant cafe it?s a little more expensive but it?s totally worth your money as the quality of the dishes can?t compare to Eli?s.

I just left here and I?m so disgusted. I?ve never had issues with the food but today everything was distasteful and overcooked. I also watched as the woman with the blonde hair in a bun took our sandwiches out of the bag to ?fix? them without any gloves on. That?s beyond disgusting and with everything that?s going on it clearly shows the lack of care for health and safety. I watched her go check her phone with the same bare hands she made our sandwiches with and go back to work after that. I felt compelled to leave this review because I feel people should know and make their own informed decision. Those actions contribute to people getting sick and it isn?t right.

Delicious, home cooked -tasting food. Friendly service. Great salad, burgers, fries, and bagels.
