Elementaria Café – So I got hooked to this newly opened joint of Elementaria Café in Juhu. I am regular visitor of the brand in Matunga branch and love their offerings and overall spread of options. I was one of the first customers to this newly open joint and in terms of overall food and drinks quality I relished it.
Luckily we were 4 friends and we tried many things out there as below
• Vietnamese cake icecream (If I recollect it right) (Rating 3/5) – Thought this would be really interesting given its description but was let down as the cake/pastry was hard even to cut it through spoon. Is it really supposed to be like this I doubt.
• Hazelnut Red Velvet Tubcake (Rating 5/5) & Intense Chocolate Tubcake (Rating 5/5) – These were lovely little cakes with intense chocolate flavors. The cake around the chocolate liquid was decadent to satisfy with each bite. Loved both.
• 48 Layers Chocolate Cake (Rating 5/5) – This is the best dessert out there IMO! This 48 layer signature cake is so so good that you can actually get it for free if you end up finishing the same in less 10 mins. The entire cake takes about 2 days to make and it weighs roughly 13 pounds.
• Choco Shake Rating (4/5) – Decent shake offered at their place! Similar to keventers but I think slightly better version imo!
• Messy Melon icecream (Rating 5/5) – This is another signature item to have at their place. See the picture and you will know why its so sought after item to order. The lovely creation of water melon cut in intricate manner accompanied with delicious melon icecream is a winner! Must order out there.
• Peri Peri Paneer Hotdog (Rating 4/5) & Chicken Tikka Sandwich (Rating 4/5) – Both offerings were great savory accompaniments with dessert choices they have out there. My personal fav was chicken tikka sandwich which comes with brown bread and generous amount of chicken tikka semi dry gravy. Paneer had unique spiciness but I felt salt somehow lacking in it! Maybe it was my bad day but liked it in general.
• Marshmellow Hot Chocolate (Rating 5/5) & Hot Mocha with Marshmellow (Rating 5/5) - Both were WOW! U cant go wrong with these choices usually and this place keeps up with the standards too. Hot chocolate was my personal fav which had the lovely texture of chocolate milk and thick enough to sip in fractions and enjoy till late evenings.
Overall the food and desserts were good, staff even though it was first day were able to manage our orders and others at a same time, the only downside in my opinion of this place is the ambience. It gets extremely uncomfortable to be there inspite of fans at almost each table. They should try adding cooler or something that can make sitting out there pleasant. Hope they can hence for now I rate them 4 for my...
Read moreElementaria Bakery and Cafe.
New place alert in Juhu. This Bakery and cafe is ideal for chocolate and croissant lovers. It's a small cosy place with limited tables but some mindboggling desserts.
After successfully setting a benchmark in the world of desserts, Elementaria is all set with it's newly established Juhu outlet.
We were a huge group and thus could try quite a lot of dishes.
Sadly, the signature cutting chai glass chocolate wasn't available.
What we tried?
RED VELVET TUB CAKE
This is super delicious. Highly recommended. It's a red velvet tub shaped dessert filled with chocolate and nutella.
CHOCOLATE TUB CAKE
This is similar but it's a chocolate cake tub. Amazeballs !
PANEER TIKKA OPEN SANDWICH
I liked the spices and stuffing in the sandwich and it's quiet cheesy.
STRAWBERRY MOJITO
This was very refreshing in the scorching heat.
HOT CHOCOLATE
The marshmallows made it look so cute and attractive. It could have been a lot better if there was no cinnamon used in the hot chocolate.
MESSYMELON
The best and most innovative here. Never had this kind of a dessert in Mumbai. Watermelon as we all know is a chill fruit and paired with icecream it's very cute and a must order !
MARGERITA PIZZA
This was a thin crust pizza with lot's of stretchy cheese. Pizza sauce was also perfect.
CHICKEN SANDWICH
Finely shredded chicken cold sandwich. I liked it. Would suggest to serve some dip along with the sandwich.
The interiors are cute but the only problem is the place is not air conditioned which was diverting our enjoyment level. Good...
Read moreWe had a variety of food and desserts, filling and scrumptious meal and most importantly a memorable one. Here's what all we had:-
Harissa Chicken Sandwich
A lip smacking sandwich. Chicken marinated Harrisa spice and mixed herb bread. Absolutely phenomenal and tasty till the last bite.
Arabiata Penne Pasta
Flat pasta stacked with layers of chicken, veggies and cheese alongside broccoli and corn. Classic lasagna!!
Messy Melon Ice Cream
As the name suggests, ice cream sandwiched into a slice of watermelon. The result of which is absolutely relishing. Loved the combination.
Taiwanese Toast with vanilla Ice Cream
The best out of the lot, Delicious Taiwanese toast with a vanilla scoop on top with chocolate sauce poured all over. If you have a sugar tooth, this is handmade for you.
Pizza
Consisting of toppings with corn, jalapeno and sun dried tomatoes, the pizza fails to disappoint you. They also have non vegetarian options available.
Nutella Tart
This tart is what Nutella dreams are made of. Layers of a hazelnut tart shell, candied hazelnuts, silky Nutella ganache filling and a shiny Nutella glaze, makes this one luxurious treat for the tastebuds.
Opera Pastry (tiramisu)
Indulgence of a deliciously divine dessert with a truffle combination of coffee ane pastry. Totally likeable and one of the best tiramisu ever.
The staff was really courteous and didn't shy away in describing the dish in detail. Overall we had a great time and look forward to...
