Elysee is the ideal cafe & bakery. The atmosphere is distinctly relaxing, as opposed to the starbucks pump-out-your- order and get you moving syle. I come in, there's free wifi, there's delicious treats that are hard to find anywhere else, and the coffee is delicious. The service is really inimitable - the barista always makes a wonderful swirling pattern out of steamed milk, whenever I order a mocha. In addition to all this, you'll hear music playing that you almost certainly have never heard before, occasionally from the likes of Dino Merlin and others. This is my favorite coffee shop, period.
