A hidden gem tucked away on Lincoln Avenue, Elva’s Coffee Shop is a sweet little Mom & Pop coffee shop run by – who else? – Elva and her husband Frank. Friendly baristas, uber-yummy coffee drinks and a clean, comfy environment is what’s won them a bevy of happy patrons. Go there to get a delicious espresso, latte, cappuccino, or just a plain cuppa Joe made from fresh beans roasted by Connoisseur Coffee Company. Stop by in the a.m. to get your motor humming with smoothies, breakfast burritos, muffins, scones and French pastries. Lunchtime is a great time to chow down on a tasty panini sandwich with ham, turkey, veggies, roast beef or pulled pork. Empanadas, salads and soups are on hand too, as are some yummy, refreshing ice cream treats. Open every day.
