" Absolutely love this place! The Mediterranean plate was bursting with flavors, and the freshness of the ingredients was evident. The owners are fantastic and always remember your name, which adds a personal touch. I enjoyed my meal on the patio, soaking up the sun while they shared their recommendations. I highly recommend the stuffed grape leaves and the fresh smoothies. " (*Curated Review*)

" Cafe Elena is the epitome of homey goodness. I recently ordered their lentil soup and was floored by how it tasted like my grandmother's recipe. Warm, comforting, and absolutely delicious! Paired with a side of pita, it was a perfect lunch on a chilly day. " (*Curated Review*)

" The experience at Cafe Elena was quite mixed for me. Although the ambiance was cozy and the owners were kind, the food was not up to par with the Standard Mediterranean places. I found the chicken in my wrap to be overcooked and dry. I truly appreciated the quick service though, and perhaps I will give them another chance to impress. " (*Curated Review*)

" While the ambiance is cozy and inviting, I expected more flavor in my food. I ordered a vegetarian dish which felt lackluster compared to other Mediterranean spots in town. The staff were enthusiastic and attentive but I left wanting something more. " (*Curated Review*)

" This cafe is a must-visit if you're seeking authentic Middle Eastern food! From their house-made hummus to the deliciously grilled kebabs, everything was fantastic. The staff is very accommodating, even offering to spice up my soup to my liking. It was also a pleasant surprise to see their fresh juice options. I will recommend this cafe to everyone I know! " (*Curated Review*)

The owners treat everyone like family, which is such a nice touch. Highly recommend their Lebanese dishes! " (*Curated Review*)

" Cafe Elena left me disappointed. Although the staff were pleasant and attentive, the food was rather bland and lacked variety. I had expected more from their Mediterranean selections. I might consider coming back, but only for quick smoothies. " (*Curated Review*)
