Elevate has some of the best coffee in town. I come here when I'm in the area for other business. Been going here for years.
Their food options are, quite frankly, overpriced and not good. I've ordered several things of their food menu and been disappointed each time. I love their coffee so much (the freddo cappuccino is great) and I could live with it until today when I got a chipotle Turkey wrap. Now, the menu said "hickory smoked turkey breast", and since the wrap cost over 12 dollars, I wasn't expecting that turkey to be cold cuts. Anyway, like my last two food orders from here, I took a few bites then couldn't stomach the rest. It's not very good. Even if it was, say, 3 dollars, I wouldn't want to eat it.
Anyway. The coffee is amazing especially if you like a specialty drink. But the food isn't at the same quality level.

I got the Cold Brew Horchata from the specialty drink menu, as I was pleased to learn their homemade horchata is dairy-free and made with almond milk! Get it without the whip to make the drink totally dairy-free. I loved the touch of a cinnamon stick on top—the flavor was very potent but not overbearing, and the hint of nuttiness from the almond milk was lovely.
My barista was very helpful in answering all questions and demonstrated great friendliness and pride in their business—I will definitely be in again when my...
