Immaculate vibes. Coffee was top tier. What a greatttt latte. A fab macchiato. Really liked it. There are several tables, free wifi, and it’s laptop friendly. The lighting is not that bright, but it’s good for like a rainy day journal. Music not loud. Cute for-stay cups. Will be back

I came into Elsewhere Espresso exhausted. These late nights and early mornings of writing Yelp reviews is starting to take its toll. I came here as opposed to my normal coffee shop, as I need to get more reviews so that I can win another Yelpie. People don't want to talk about it, but a Yelpie is more difficult to get than a Grammy or an Oscar. Winning a Yelpie is war, and war is a full contact sport. I got my iced americano, and walked out to the covered outdoor patio and locked in. They have wifi here, which is huge because I get so annoyed when coffee shops don't have it... I mean I get it though, because when I walk into a coffee shop where all the tables are taken by people on laptops and over ear headphones I get so annoyed. The grass is always greener smh. My americano was S tier and brought me back to life, but honestly I just get it black so how good could it be. I'm no coffee connoisseur. While I was jamming away at my laptop, crafting a review that will make you laugh, cry, and contemplate your life in under 400 words in hopes to realize this long shot dream of back to back Yelpies, I spotted the only other girl on the patio reading "Kitchen Confidential" by Anthony Bourdain. My kind of people in here. I will leave you with a quote from the late, great Kobe Bryant: “Those times when you get up early and you work hard; those times when you stay up late and you work hard; those times when you don’t feel like working, you’re too tired, you don’t want to push yourself, but you do it anyway; that is actually the dream. That’s the dream. It’s not the destination, it’s the journey.” IG @jnov_ Tiktok @jnov_reviews

I’m going to give “elsewhere” five stars because of the friendliness of their staff AND because they serve an amazing cappuccino. The coffee was so so, but I think they were having problems with the grinder. Again, in my book they’re getting five stars because the service was amazing. They have a young barista who is just super friendly and very helpful. Space - It is a small little shop with about eight tables. Outdoor - They have outdoor seating with many more tables. Prices - prices are reasonable. Food - They have some assortment of desserts, but not much. It is very local and worth coming over to visit.
