Elan Cafe Knightsbridge

The Desert here is so Divine. I had the rose pistachio cake, and it melted in my mouth. It was so good. The coffee wasn't what I expected. I had the V60, and it was so light. The atmosphere is welcoming and friendly. Sanchez is a fantastic host.

The service was very slow. I had to ask the waitress to take my order, and she only came twice: once to accept the order and once to bring the tea. I asked for a cheesecake from their dessert stand, but it never arrived until I reminded her again. My plates were left on the table until I asked for dessert as well. The food itself is good, but the service really needs improvement.

Visited 09/09/2025. Kitchen was out of service but customers were not being informed at the door but only when sitting down. A lovely array of pastries, cakes and sandwiches available on the day I visited. Place was pretty empty inside with a few outside. The staff I had interacted with were lovely but service was a bit slow, I had to get up and ask someone to take my order and also had to get up to go pay when finished as I needed to leave. Doesn't appear to be very well managed (albeit on a less busy day with the kitchen out of order!) Had the Turkey and Cheese ciabatta, it was nice and cost £11. Will have to go back to try their main menu/cooked items. Everything is halal.
