Situated just off the Masonic Village in the adorable little borough of Elizabethtown is the fabulously quaint Whisk Cafe. The high ceiling dining room has a homey yet contemporary rustic charm. The whisk lights and cleverly cheeky signage create a fun and comfortable setting. I was promptly greeted with a friendly smile by Lisa. They boast an extensive drink menu expertly prepared by a dedicated barista/mixologist with a variety sure to get any day started proper. From healthy to hungover they have you covered. I tend to dwell in the latter category so I naturally fell in love the Loaded Bloody Maria. She goes by Mary on the menu but I prefer her south of the border sister. Tequila, bloody mix, topped with celery, bacon, bleu cheese olive, pepperoncini, gherkin, lime wedge, shrimp, cubed cheese, spicy green bean, rimmed with Old Bay. Yes please, and thank you! If you’re feeling bubbly, their mimosas can be made quite literally sparkly with an edible glitter add-on. Not personally my style but the option did give me a nice chuckle. Breakfast is well prepared standard fare. I’ve had the lox platter and eggs Benedict. Both are expertly prepared with generous servings and an artful presentation. I will definitely be back and not just because they’re neighbors.

Honestly just had the most disappointing and underwhelming experience. It has potential to be good - I appreciate the gluten free options and variety. But they’ve clearly made a choice to understaff. There wasn’t anyone clearing tables or helping servers so the poor servers had to bus the tables. Huge line out the door the whole time we were there, while tables sat empty waiting to be cleared. We called in advance and asked about the wait - they said no wait for inside. We showed up minutes later and waited for 15 minutes at an empty hostess stand with fifteen other people just to put our name in for a table. Then waited another 30 minutes for a table. Then they tried to seat our six-person group at a small four-person table. I asked for a bigger table and they gave it, but both of our toddlers still had to sit on our laps…. Where they remained for the entire HOUR we then waited for our food. We watched every table around us be sat and served before us. We didn’t order anything crazy or off the menu - literally just eggs from the breakfast menu. It was honestly crazy. Finally after an hour I asked a server if our food was coming and said we were just going to leave. She wandered off for a while and eventually came back and said oh it’s coming out soon. She also said it was busy for Father’s Day. Uh, okay, but I’m not sure that justifies us sitting there for two hours plus, total by the end. Our server also completely forgot to put in the hot chocolate we ordered for my toddler. By the time our food came my two year old was crying and asking for eggs because she saw everyone around us eating their eggs before her. There were no coloring supplies or anything to keep kids busy. No one offered us a high chair or booster. It was honestly just the most outrageously poor experience I’ve ever had. Seems like the place has potential and is probably good when they’re slow, but they can’t handle any volume. Understaffing and not taking reservations is a choice that comes at the expense of the customers. The acoustics in there are bad and you can barely hear each other speak inside when it’s busy. We went to the bathroom and there are only two, there was a long line for them, and they were dirty with tp strewn all over the floor. So, so depressingly bad.

I was at Whisk Cafe today. The wait staff was professional and the service was good. However, the coffee is served warm, not hot. I brought this to the waitress attention and she refilled my cup, but again it wasn't hot. Therefore, before I had even drank half a cup, it was lukewarm, so I didn't finish it. The real problem was the food. I ordered the RBK. The menu describes this dish as "three eggs scrambled with shredded cheddar, home fries, bacon, mushrooms, spinach, onions, and peppers with a biscuit or toast". I started to eat it and took a couple of bites and found myself thinking, "weren't there supposed to be scrambled eggs in this"? I looked up the menu online and sure enough it said three eggs scrambled. There were NO eggs in the dish I was served. I brought this to the waitress's attention and she went to check with kitchen. She came back and tried to tell me that the three eggs were in there, you just couldn't see them. I emphasized that it was obvious that no eggs were in the dish I was given. I mean it was plainly visible that all the ingredients were there, except the eggs. She also said that the kitchen was scrambling some eggs for me, which she delivered soon after. I make something similar at home with home fries, peppers onions and usually two scrambled eggs, and the eggs are always visible in the mix. I dont know, maybe it was just an honest mistake and the cook forgot to add the eggs to the frying pan, but it is pretty incredible that they would try to tell me that three eggs were so well mixed in that you just couldn't see them.attached are photos of the original dish, and the plate of eggs that was delivered separately. I didnt think to add the eggs to the potatoes, etc. So that you could see what everything mixed together should have looked like. I challenge anyone to find any sign of scrambled eggs in the photo of the original dish that was delivered.
