“ This place is amazing, what a fun atmosphere to be in. Wish there were more places like this in my local area. Super fun looking at all the used books to choose from, plenty of seating to get settled and cozy up with a good read! Elements has loyalty cards which I think is such a fun way to bring people back into their shop. Staff were really funny and relational which was a joy. I got a rose cardamom latte that was perfect. I love that there hours are late in the day not just early morning. They do serve alcohol, but I didn’t try it so I cannot speak to that portion of the shop. ”
“ I love this place but lately I feel like the lack in quality of coffee has gone down . Today they put 80% of the milk I asked for and only a portion of the shot I paid for I watched the drink be made and that is not how it’s suppose to be done they filled my entire cup of with just MILK!!! .and then mixed the shot in and I saw the rest of my shot left in the metal cup then get dumped out . . So All I tasted was straight up milk I tasted no espresso and I was to scared to say anything so I just took the drink and left !!! Please train the employees correctly . The milk should only be filled to the lower line then if there is still room after the shot is mixed in then add more milk. I owned my own coffee shop before moving to maine. . That was our biggest complaint when we first opened we learned quickly how to make ice coffee correctly Otherwise great staff great environment just feel like coffee making lately when I come in is lacking quite a bit . ”
“ I bought a delicious ham and cheese croissant and a couple books. Perfect atmosphere for reading, writing or sipping a glass of wine. To go or dine in with tables and a bar. ”
“ Great little place to get a beverage, treats (including gluten-free), and a great read. I sometimes stop in just to get a drink and work in a positive and productive thinking space. Not a place for a full meal. ”
“ Charming bookstore and coffee shop. We enjoyed some coffee and a croissant. Coffee is delicious and baked goods are fresh and tasty. Staff is friendly and prices are reasonable. There is a restroom available, and you must park on the street. Of course, Wi-Fi available and an interesting selection of books as well. ”
