East Elevation - Melbourne

This place is one of my favourites. The food is always excellent. An edgy little menu and amazing specials board. Very friendly service. Coffee and tea is excellent, with tea served in lovely little tea sets. It has a trendy feel to it with a casual and funky sitting and very relaxed feel. They are happy to split bills, in fact when asked the manager said "oh we encourage you to split the bill". We sat for hours and were never pushed to leave despite the restaurant being busy. I have been to this restaurant over twenty times and will always return.

East Elevation is a great place for breakfast. Service is spot on and the choices available satisfy your appetite just by reading the menu. Food full of flavour and excellently presented. Certainly worth a visit and will be back for seconds. Try the chocolate when you're there. Worth the effort.

Came here with friends as this was highly reviewed for Hot Chocolate.First and foremost - Parking is a challenge, no car parks, so you have to take your luck on the main road or a side street, this place is better to arrive by Tram as it stops pretty much outside the door.First Impressions - medium sized cafe that is well decorated and has very friendly and attentive staff. Plenty of tables ranging from accomodating 2-4 people and the odd larger tablet to accomodate an army.Service was spot on. Very attentive and once ordered, the drinks arrived in 5min.Hot chocolates on offer will appeal to many people; kids and adults alike. From their traditional to alcoholic you will be in your "happy place"We went for the Monsieur Truffle hot chocolate, 70% single origin (kids and standard size) and The Peanut & Hazelnut.They were light and had a good depth of flavour, not overly thick though, a slightly thicker consistency to a latte. I did find it wasn't overly smooth either, a tad grainy.Taste for both the Monsieur and the Peanut was good and for most, represents a delicious warm drink.As mentioned I wish I was smoother and slightly thicker.The biscotti and the raw salted caramel slice were both delicious and recommended.Restrooms - more restrooms than required for the amount of seats.SUMMARYA great cafe that I need to explore the food and standard coffee as it looks amazing!Hot chocolate wise, is this the best in Melbourne? No, get me wrong, it is very good good but not as good as my expectations had been set.My recommendation would be to try one of the special hot chocolates ($10 each) as it will be a unique experience compared to the standard drinks on offer.Service Efficiency. 5/5Atmosphere/Ambiance. 4/5Quality of Hot Chocolate. 4/5Price Range (Low, Medium, High): MediumFree Wi-fi?: NoDo they accept AMEX/Diners Club Cards?: YesValue for money. 4/5Availability of Restrooms. 5/5Parking Availability. 3/5Total 25/30

Loved this place! Great atmosphere and beautiful food and coffee. We also bought some handmade chocolates which were delicious!

We stumbled across the premises whilst looking for somewhere for lunch. We were impressed with the decor and chilled vibe, prompt efficient service and yummy food. Just a great place to relax with nothing seeming to be to much effort. Thanks guys and girls for making it memorable.
