Ellis Island Coffee and Wine Lounge — Restaurant in Edmond

So I don't know if this was an off day, but I was looking forward to trying this place out for the first time and was really disappointed. First off when customers walk into a place, specially a new place, you should be greeted, which we were not. Secondly I think it's really dumb to have certain spots reserved solely for beer and wine customers, and if you want to do that at least wait till your peak hours when more of those customers come in. Secondly the manager or what seemed like the manager or owner was pretty uptight. It was a really hot day on this day and the inside of this place was pretty dang toasty, he wouldn't turn on the air conditioner, this is Oklahoma you will need to do that. Also my husband pushed a table together because again the bigger tables were "reserved" and before we could even get them together the manager asked us to separate them if they got to busy. Which I completely understand but just chill and wait till you actually are busy, because from that point on we were just uncomfortable. I am sure the sweets are good which I didn't have but as far as a place to just go, chill, and hangout this isn't. The Patriarch down the road has better beer and there is a more chill coffee shop closer to 2nd that I will be going to...

This is my favorite coffee shop in all the land. I live pretty far away from Edmond but have traveled up here once a week for the past few years for work. During my first year I tried a new coffee shop in the Edmond and OKC areas each week and reviewed them on my personal page. Of over 40 different early morning coffee shops, THIS IS MY FAVORITE! I love the baristas - they are always friendly to chat with. The parking is free and well lit. The seating is marvelous with an array of comfy seats, tables, and a wide selection of cozy couches. The drinks are top notch (I even tried their ginger lime tea a time or two), and I always get a cappuccino or an iced latte. The food is brought in from La Baguette and my faves have been the ham and cheese fold over, the chocolate divine cake when I’m feeling celebratory, and the spinach tomato quiche is my normal go to. As I embark on new adventures I will miss this place dearly. Thanks for over 3 years of giving me a cozy and welcoming place to sip on some delicious coffee and read many, many books...

I wish I could give a fraction of a star rating...Absolutely bad experience here. I took my girlfriend here for morning coffee and was excited to try the new neighborhood coffee shop only to be completely disappointed and disgusted! To start, the gentleman making our coffee couldn't stop coughing EVERYWHERE and didn't even try to turn his head or excuse himself, I was absolutely flabbergasted that the manager (standing right near him) would let him or anyone serve food or coffee like that. The environment seemed very strange and they just kind of stared at you as you sit there, enough so that we just decided to leave as soon as the 5 dollar cup of crap came out. She tasted the coffee against my advice and told me to toss it because she couldn't stand the taste. I was happy to toss that crap and hit up another coffee shop within walking distance from there and had a much...
