Elk Espresso

Elk Espresso

For ten years, Elk Espresso has been at the top of its game, wooing diners with its quality food and seamless service, producing food that’s innovative, perfectly cooked and beautifully presented. Looking back, the reasons for its success were evident from its beginnings.

Elk Espresso wins friends, first of all, for its simple but funky interior you could be excused for thinking was an art studio. There are retro chairs and tables on the sanded concrete floor, overseen by the stencil of a giant elk standing in splendour on the limed wall. There’s a timeless verdant simplicity to the venue that says ‘I dare to be different’.

Opened in mid 2011, Elk took the neighbourhood by storm in its former location before moving to the beach end of The Oasis Shopping Centre in 2018. Throughout its life, Elk has consistently topped the charts as one of the Gold Coast’s favourite cafés.

Serving T2 teas and Single O and Killerbee blends from Single Origin Roasters, the barista’s running hot with coffees to drink in and takeaway. A range of clientele frequents the café, from teens and young families to retirees. Everyone is happy, whether inside the café reading the paper or at tables spilling out onto the pavement, relaxing in the morning sunshine. There’s a bright beach holiday feel to the place, as though the working world is far away.

The well-chosen, eclectic menu is retro with a luxe modern twist; one of the best daytime menus we’ve seen. Drawing from world menus Elk brings us dishes that are unique and well thought out – Porridge with Bischoff, Shakshuka with gnocchi and chorizo, and Peach French toast.

Changing with the seasons, some brekkie standouts when we visited included Blueberry and coconut breakfast panna cotta with granola, summer fruits and cinnamon yoghurt (there’s also a completely GF DF panna cotta available), as well as the Brekkie Tacos, indulgent Violet crumble waffles and Vegie bowls for winter with your choice of protein added.

Lunch dishes also skirt around the world, picking up bold flavours along the way. Jalapeno, lime, pickled peppers and harissa add an edge to Middle Eastern staples such as labneh, dukkah and hummus. In most dishes, there’s an element of surprise.

Expect scrumptious salads and hearty burgers filled with unexpected combinations of on trend ingredients such as pearl barley, fennel, hazelnuts and wild rice. Leave room, if you can, for a House Special drink – they’re simply wicked! Or indulge in a bottomless mimosa brunch. Why not!

Whether you stop in for an early morning breakfast, leisurely lunch or a decadent afternoon tea, Elk has a welcoming charisma all its own, calling you off the beach to the fern forest beyond.
