What customers say?

“ Went here on a whim today and am happy I did! The relaxed vibe was nice and staff was welcoming and courteous. Earl’s Croissant was top notch, just be prepared for the spice! The Cuban Latte was smooth and tasty (I’d recommended another espresso shot if you like a little more bite like I do). The space is huge and the overall aesthetic, from music to furniture, was beautiful. If you find yourself in the area, give them a try! ”

“ Very nice place. Staff was friendly and Cuban latte was delicious. Next time I’ll have lunch, the menu looked good. They appear to have the same political views as I. Support immigrants. I’ll go back the next time I’m there. Carry cash; it’s a $10 minimum for credit/debit cards. Black and women own this place. I’ll definitely be back when I’m up north! ”

“ I've been here a few times and have enjoyed lattes, sweet and savory pastries, and matcha, all of which was delicious. The space has a very cozy atmosphere but has a lot of seating and the decor and huge windows give it a very lux vibe. The music is always dope and it's a great place to relax, or work while having great coffee / delicious food Bonus they have also have music events. Definitely check this place out if you're in the area or make it your go to if you're a local. ”

“ Elitist Coffee is such a cozy spot in South Orange. It’s Black and Mother-Daughter owned, and a small business elevating the coffee lover’s experience. The staff is always warm and welcoming, and the vibe inside just makes you want to relax and stay awhile. The food is fresh and delicious, and I don’t mind paying a little extra because the quality is truly there. And their coffee? Incredible — they roast and brew it themselves, and you can taste the difference. Highly recommend! This place is for those of us who appreciate a great atmosphere and quality experience. ”
