Eleva Coffee Lounge

An elevated coffee shop experience. Ahh the price we pay for cozy, hip, and modern. So here's the good... friendly customer service, plush/comfortable seating, and lots of drink options (they serve wine). The not-so-good (could be a deal-breaker for some) - no restroom (you'll need to walk to the nearest one by Mellow Mushroom), slim food options (mostly heat & serve + kind of pricey, too). I'm not much of a coffee drinker anymore, so I opted for a can of kombucha ($4) and a large slice of baklava ($5). I have had a lot of baklava in my life and I have to say this was a bit lower on the totem pole. It was good, but didn't taste fresh - harder to cut into and a little hard to chew. I only came here that day because not much else was open in CW because of the recent snowstorm. I probably won't be returning, but not to say this isn't someone else's jam reading this. Check it out for yourself, your thoughts may differ from mine. I'm just not one for pricey drinks, pricey heat-and-serve foods, and mediocre pastries. I will be patronizing other local cafes in CW though :)

Eleva is so cute. The first time I was here it was raining and felt like a welcoming retreat from the rain with greenery, brick and friendly faces. So far I've tried yeh snickerdoodle dirty chai and the blueberry lavender London fog. Both weren't my favorites, but there's something about this cafe that makes me want to give them another try.

Nice new coffee shop (and I believe they have wine later on in the day) right in merchant's square! Drinks:They seem to have a large coffee drink menu and can get your drinks on ice or even a frappe for an extra fee. Nice selection of sugar free syrups and regular syrups. I had the large frappe with sugar free caramel and chocolate syrup. It was very good but a little on the pricey side. $8! Food: Did not try anything but they had a variety of fresh selections and packaged foods Service:The woman behind the counter who made my drink was very nice and the drink she made was very good. Inside: They have used the space inside well with some couch seating and other comfortable seats. It's not overly large inside but it's nicely designed. One thing I found a little odd is that there is no bathroom. If you have to use a restroom you have to use the restrooms in the building where Mellow Mushroom is located. About a 3 minute walk.

Fantastic coffee and relaxed atmosphere. We came in while visiting the area on a very hot day. Interior is comfortable and both the space and the staff are inviting. Location is prime for both visitors to Williamsburg and for students on William and Mary's campus. Will definitely try the Greenpoint location in NY! Thanks for the tasty and refreshing drinks!

Newer coffee shop with thier own roasted coffee. They also have baked goods and a few breakfast items but we did not try any. Good space to work or meet. Wait staff was very friendly and helpful.

I visited yesterday. The atmosphere was nice, and the latte was prepared well and tasted very good. My only small comment (though it does not change my review) is that it was unclear if the pastries were baked on site or brought from elsewhere. Regardless, this is a nice ambience for coffee.

Eleva coffee shop was a delightful experience. The coffee is rich and flavorful, the service is friendly and attentive, and the interior design is beautiful, and has a welcoming atmosphere. It's the perfect spot to relax and enjoy a great cup of coffee. Highly recommended for coffee lovers!

Twice during the first 2 weeks in December my wife and I visited ELEVA Coffee Lounge - the ambience was peaceful, relaxing and soothing. Carlos, our Barista, was courteous, personable, polite and professional. He first served my wife her wine, then followed up with my delicious, smooth, strong, very hot latte. My wife and I live locally and promised Carlos we would return very soon. My wife dearly loves the ambience at ELEVA.

Really wanted to like this place. Decor is trendy and it has a great vibe. Baristas are not great, drinks are poorly made, and the food (croissant) is so bad they have no business selling it. Illy next door has perfect pastries, this place needs to step it up or they won't last long. Rent is high in Merchants Square. Do better.

The service is nice and the drinks were made well. I got the Americano and it was almost $7 which is pretty pricey from my experience since I had no modifications done to it. They offer free wifi and a relaxed ambiance however they do not offer restroom usage and refer you to the mushroom restaurant 2 blocks away.
