You definitely need to check this place! We went for brunch on Friday at lunch time and it was so busy!After eating we could understand why!Everything we had was delicious! Pancakes are so fluffy and shakshuka was so good with a lot of tomato!Smoked salmon sandwich was incredible and a very generous portion!Prices are very good for their quality and the portion size.Staff is super nice too!

Amazing toastini sandwich. Easy lunch without the fuss and great music. Definitely will be back!

This place does very authentic Israeli food. The Shakshuka was seasoned to perfection. My girlfriend had no trouble ordering anything Vegan with plenty of choices.The coffee is among the best of the upper east side. I order some immensely bold smooth Turkish coffee which is harder to come by in this area.Overall, I would recommend going out of your way for this place if you want a unique breakfast that still has some familiarity to typical NYC cuisine.

This cafe has great food, friendly servers, its kept very clean, and the interior and the decor really adds a lot to the atmosphere. Very relaxing to sit and eat and have a nice latte. Great place to grab brunch in the Upper East Side.

Cute Israeli brunch spot in the area. I live nearby and finally decided to explore this place. It has a nice small outdoor seating area with pink chairs.I recommend trying the salmon sandwich and pancakes. Also, their Chai latte is absolutely perfect for cold days. I feel like the place is slightly pricey.

4Months ago..I was just passing by, this place caught my eye in 2 seconds and all all all of my attention.. Ordered a Plain latte, then ordered a Caramel I dont remember he name but it was like a donut, The guy that helped me (WHO WAS REALLY REALLY AMAZING) recommended me to try the Strawberry one, so I asked for it, and then he gave me the last Nutella one also but as a Compliment, I loved it.. then I asked for the 2 Chocolat croissants, and he gave me 2 complimentary cookies. I wish I can go back soon to try something else, everything was deliciously tasty, fresh and good.. I loved this place, the aura, the location, and their people!! Really recommend it, and the best thing is that it is not pricey, is just PERFECT

I LOVE Ella’s! Moved into the neighborhood and found it when walking in search of good non-commercialized coffee. I wound up coming back (over and over again). The mocha is spectacular. They have excellent food as well, including hummus, avocado toast, pastries, etc. It’s become one of my go-to places in my new neighborhood.

Ella’s is such a wonderful UES coffee house.I always get a Cortado and their amazing beet salad.My daughter is obsessed with their sandwiches. Support local.

I wish I could give more that 5 stars! This cafe is amazing!!! We ate the hummus shakshuka, the toastini a cappuccino and Turkish coffee. They were all INCREDIBLE! Our lovely waiter also gave us burekas to try on the house. Wow!! I will be ordering them next time too. Can’t wait to come back, and so happy we found this place.

Great little gem coffee shop and breakfast spot

Review 11 (2024-06-29 - Rating: 5)
One of the only places in Manhattan where you can drink quality coffee and have fun and only because of the good coffee I will return many more timesI came back again and again to this place and why many people love the place and rightfully so, everything here gives a sense of fun and deliciousness

Lovely neighborhood spot in the UES. I love stopping here for a latte and light bite. Friendly staff, great food and can’t forget the cute pink cups❤️🫶

Wow! The espresso and brownie here is amazing! Service was prompt and friendly and attentive. Wish I could pack up this cafe and bring it home with me to California.

Wowwww this place is so good! Green shashuka is outstanding (also the waiters fav!) as is the Malawah (pancake), and the Cascaval bureka 🤤love the vibe on a Saturday afternoon, nice outdoor tables too

Review 15 (2024-05-26 - Rating: 5)
Had breakfast here yesterday with a friend and it was sublime. We were also (unintentionally, still half asleep) ‘those guys’ and brought in our own coffees from another place and the owner was very nice about the whole thing. Got the shakshuka, fabulous! Would absolutely come here again, what a cozy perfect spot for the neighborhood.

Review 16 (2022-09-20 - Rating: 5)
Will keep coming back here for the great food+coffee and excellent service. I love yogurt and granola bowls. I’ve had a hard time finding a place that uses fruit that tastes really fresh & flavorful, yogurt that isn’t bland or too sweet, and granola that is just as addictive as here at Ella’s! I was told it was homemade, no surprise it’s delicious.

Review 17 (2021-12-25 - Rating: 5)
Wow! If you want to feel like you’re in israel got to Ella’s. I was craving for jachnun (Yemenite Jewish pastry) and I was very pleased to hear that they make it in house so I got it and loved it (comes with a side of Israeli salad). I also took lavender oat milk latte which was good. Before I left I decided to do a take out of Cholent (Hamin is a traditional Jewish stew). Service was incredibly friendly and welcoming and it seemed like they know everyone there so I have to go back there again .

This is the loveliest cafe in the neighborhood. The food, drinks, and pastries are extremely high quality. The toastini sandwich is my favorite :). There’s a lovely warmth and sense of community. Kind, excellent service. Patience with strollers. A true neighborhood gem that brings lots of joy! Happy New Year!

The food and drinks were very well made and customized to my liking, which was great. The staff were so kind, especially our barista, Mica. She was so polite, funny, helpful, and catered to our requests for our drinks. I ordered a cortado, and it was beautifully done by her. The decor is relaxed and the environment is welcoming.

Love Ella’s! Some of the best coffee in the neighborhood and they have delicious food too. In the summer they have a great mint lemonade drink that is so refreshing. The team is always so welcoming and warm.

Best cafe on the UES!! We go here every Saturday - the food is amazing, best staff and cute atmosphere! Get the tostini - but really can’t go wrong with any of their food. We have a stroller and while the place is small, they always find a way to make it work. Love this place!!

Review 31 (2024-01-08 - Rating: 5)
What a wonderful gem, Im already planning my return visit! I had a seasonal ginger oat chai latte that was truly out of this world. The serving was generous, and I didnt feel robbed (ahem ⭐️$ up the street). I was all set to get a to-go yogurt, and since I was dining in, they informed me I could get a fresh yogurt in a bowl. My only regret was not noticing the food menu RIGHT NEXT TO ME until after I placed my order. I cant wait to return and try the shakshuka.I also loved that there was a lot of seating, and a shelf with books, so you could sit and enjoy the coffee while reading.

Review 32 (2022-03-13 - Rating: 5)
Beautiful space, extremely friendly staff, amazing coffee and a good selection of tea. Good space to work, nice menu of food. Will definitely revisit!

This place is super quaint inside. Came for breakfast w a friend on Sunday around 11am. You order at the counter and then seat yourself. We were able to snag a seat right away but when we left at noon there was a line. The food was hot and came out quick. I had the mushroom quiche and even tho a bit crumbly, it was perfect and I wanted to stuff it in my face but …manners.Thanks for having us!

Review 34 (2023-08-01 - Rating: 5)
My new favorite weekends morning spot. The breakfast was fantastic and very decent portions, coffee was great and the pastries were the highlight of it all. Made to perfection with unique flavors. On Saturday morning they offer Jachnoun, a Yemenite dish that is very hard to find (at least a quality one). Owner was pleasant and service was very good despite how busy it was. The music was an unexpected but very welcomed surprise. Would have given it a 10 if possible.

Review 35 (2024-12-18 - Rating: 5)
Thank you for the amazing breakfast all day

Review 36 (2023-07-31 - Rating: 4)
The Israeli food was really interesting to try. Although I had no idea what to order, the staff were very helpful with recommendations and specials. Packed out with locals and families looking for a nice brunch spot it’s definitely worth a look in if you’re around.I did come for the coffee and unfortunately the only good thing about it was that it was strong, that’s where the description ends.

Review 37 (2024-05-12 - Rating: 5)
Lovely cafe/bistro with plenty of seating. Its so nice to have European style cafes (i.e., serving coffee, food and alcohol and open in the evening) where people could meet to catch up or just simply read a book or work. The oat milk latte was good.The menu looks interesting with good vegetarian options and I definitely will be back to try the food.Food update: everything was good, soup of the day (lots of veggies), quiche (fluffy crust unique from most quiche), mushroom flatbread, and the eggplant pita

This place is one of my top three favorite coffee places in Manhattan. Since my boyfriend introduced me to this place, I havent stopped craving the Toastini sandwich! I highly recommend it! (with a chai latte) The food is amazing! The toastni comes with extra sauce on the side and a Greek salad. The service is always good here. Also, (a plus for me) I love how you always see families, kids, dogs, etc. As a foreign, far from home, I enjoy being surrounded by this Atmosphere. Again, highly recommend it.

Review 48 (2023-12-19 - Rating: 5)
Ellas Cafe Espresso & Wine Bar offers a cozy corner for a coffee break or a casual bite. Their Toastini stands out with its crispy, sesame-seeded crust and gooey cheese center, paired with a crisp, fresh salad and a zesty green sauce. The coffee never disappoints and is a testament to the baristas skill. Its an ideal spot for those seeking quality food and a relaxed vibe in the city.

Review 59 (2023-04-10 - Rating: 5)
Really good coffee and pastries are excellent. What else would you ask for! These guys really know how to work puff pastry and filo dough! We got the.Mushroom burek. They heated it up for us and it was nice and crispy with a filling that was not overly seasoned or salty. We also got a sweet pastry which was a guava cheese puff pastry and a rugula. The latter was not as good as the other two, but everything was really good! The staff is super friendly and super fast. I highly recommend!

We were appealed by the crowd in front of Ella’s Cafe Espresso & Wine Bar and decided to give it a try. The decor is adorable, bright and cozy with plenty of indoor & outdoor seating.Their service still needs to be improved and the staff was not familiar with what they serve currently even though the options were limited. We asked about the flavor & filling in their pastries, but they didn’t know and answered with totally different items.We got their scone & raisin roll to go since we already had brunch that day. We reheated both pastries the next day and they were decent, especially the scone, but the texture was not as delicate as we expected.

Review 63 (2023-07-21 - Rating: 4)
Came here the other day to take an exam for grad school and eat a snack. The staff were extremely friendly and family-like which is very unique so I’ll be back. The toastini was amazing and the passion fruit tea drink, my server forgot it but gave me a free rugelach to apologize. I’m not giving 5 stars because the wifi wasn’t working for awhile, I eventually was able to get back on the wifi.

Very nice place to stop by and relax for a light bite to eat and sit for a bit.I got an iced latte and sandwich here which were very good and way above average relative to other coffee shops nearby. I really like the Israeli / Jewish decor as well. Makes it feel a lot more intimate and homey. Staff is also very nice.Would recommend trying this place out for a quick bite and/or a nice place to have a breakfast/lunch/brunch. The sandwiches were really, really good.

Iced chai latte was exceptional. I got the croissant sandwich with eggs — you have a choice of egg and cheese or tomato and mozz. Only an extra $2.5 compared to the cost of a croissant. I hope they start doing shakshuka on weekdays!

Great Barista!!

Review 120 (2023-07-11 - Rating: 5)
Ive been visiting every so often during the early wee morning hours so that I could wind down a bit before starting work. On separate occasions, Ive often ordered their iced lattes, cold brew, and avocado toast, of which all have been extremely good. The avocado toast comes with two slices, as well as pickled onions and a side cucumber/tomato salad.Most of the dishes have a Mediterranean influence. I plan to visit and recommend often when Im in the area--I just need to stop by for lunch sometime soon.The morning staff are always efficient and kind. Prices are fair as well for what you get.

Spent the week on UES, originally had intended to try a different cafe each day but found ourselves returning here a few times. Imaginative Israel menu with interesting twists, know how to make a cappucino, and always service with a smile. Dont miss!

This cafe’s atmosphere is great and their staff was super friendly! When I walked in, lots of people were sitting around sipping their coffees, reading a book, etc. Loved it. My fiancé wasn’t crazy about the espresso (he said the beans were a bit over roasted), but the menu looks delicious and we’ll certainly be back to try the food!

Review 159 (2022-06-01 - Rating: 5)
Fantastic food and quality coffee. Their space is bigger than you think, so there’s usually plenty of seating and people with laptops during the day. Also a few tables outside on a nice day.

Great Oat Milk Latte. Shakshuka wasnt the most authentic but still delicious. Overall nice local vibe with friendly staff, although the service was a little slow.WiFi is very reliable for working and studying. Just note that music is a little loud.
