ONE MORE FOR THE ARCHIVE
BAE Roll
from Ellu Cafe
Bacon, egg soufflé with cheese, dijon, mayo and bbq sauce on brioche bun
I found myself in a bit of a time crunch last Sunday, with just an hour to spare for lunch. My original choice of a cafe had an impossibly long line, prompting me to quickly pivot and explore other options. That's how I stumbled upon ellu, a recently opened gem on Crown Street.
The BAE Roll was a delightful surprise, an upgrade from the typical breakfast sandwich. The addition of a fluffy soufflé egg made this dish more interesting. I noticed that they do pay quite a bit of attention to details in the food presentation, which was nice to see. The taste was pretty good too; it had a light quality to it, which was exactly what I needed as I was headed to a Pole class afterward.
However, what truly set ellu apart was its ambiance. The cafe exuded a cozy, inviting vibe. Gentle, melodic tunes played in the background, setting the perfect mood for a relaxed meal. Moreover, the staff were exceptionally friendly and attentive. Overall, it's a nice new brunch spot worth checking out.
