Ellianos Coffee — Restaurant in Trussville

Great little location, not busy at all, and has recently opened. We were greeted by a wonderful human, not a speaker, and had time to read the menu and decide on our coffees. I told her exactly what I was looking for, as they had more choices. We settled on a white mocha, iced, with an extra shot of espresso. I asked for it to be a little sweeter, so they became Cuban shots. After adjusting my taste buds, I really like it. There's several flavors I would like to try as well as some food items. They also have energy slushes for those non coffee drinkers. Smoothies, freezes (think frozen coffee), cake pops, egg bites, croissants, breakfast bowls, the list goes on. I'm more impressed with the customer service received while there, so friendly and knowledgeable, and she was able to suggest several variations for us to try. It is different. The pricing is better, but we came out about the same with the extras we added to ours as we would at Starbucks. Will I return? Yes. I enjoyed my iced coffee and want to try Tuscany...

Tried the new Ellianos location here in Trussville today. First off, the coffee is great—I ordered a hazelnut freezer, and it was smooth, flavorful, and exactly what I hoped for on a hot day.

However, the food was a letdown. I ordered the Turkey Bacon Ranch sandwich, and for the $8 price tag, I expected something a bit more substantial. The sandwich came with one thin slice of turkey (folded onto only one half of the sandwich), three small pieces of bacon, and lot of sauce. —just a very underwhelming presentation. Honestly, it looked and felt like something you'd throw together at home in a rush, not what you'd expect from a café item.

Overall: ✔️ Coffee – solid win ❌ Food – disappointing...

This is the second time I visit since it opened not too long ago. I have been driving by so many times waiting for it to open and so glad I went. My first visit, I tried the Venetian vanilla which I highly recommend. However, what blew my mind were the bagels. When I bit into the toasted everything bagel with cream cheese, I literally said it reminded me of the NY bagels I would eat when I lived there. On my next visit I tried the Asiago which was amazing. Then I realized their bagels are actually shipped from New York. Great experience and if they keep it up, I will...
