Water & the Elephant — Restaurant in George Town

Outstanding Service and Amazing Food at Water and the Elephant Cafe

I had an incredible experience at Water and the Elephant Cafe, thanks to their exceptional server, Baliji. The service here truly stands out—not only are the staff attentive, but they are also impressively knowledgeable.

When my son accidentally dropped his knife, Baliji promptly replaced it with a new knife and fork within seconds. This level of attentiveness is rare and greatly appreciated!

If you visit this cafe, I highly recommend asking for Baliji. He goes above and beyond to make the experience memorable.

On top of that, the food is fantastic. The smoked salmon benny is an absolute gem on their menu—a must-try for anyone visiting.

I can't wait to return and enjoy more of their incredible food...

That being said, I am willing to pop a couple of digestive enzymes and take the risk for their delicious donuts. My favorite are the cheesecake flavored ones, the best being the apple pie cheesecake donut. It...

Went in and ordered

Ice Latte with caramel $5.50 +1 caramel

Quad shot over ice with splash of half/half $15!

A singular cookie $3

A Latte is $5.50 Espresso shot ( 2)$3.75 - they said they only serve 2, no singles

I asked the staff how many shots come in a Latte and he said 2 shots. Then I proceeded to ask how many shots in my quad shot I ordered and he said 4. I asked why is a latte with 2 shots $5.50 and my quad shot is $15. He said because their espresso is $3.75 per order( 2 shots) x4 =$15. If that's the case I should have gotten 8 shots of espresso.

Pricing does not make sense at all! I should have gotten an ice Americano with an extra shot and only be $7. Tip is already included but I gave an extra $5 because...
