A must have for this Florida girl!! Love when we I get sent up here for work!!! Amazing customer service, to die for coffee creations!! Delicious hot chocolate, which is must for my husband. And puppychino( lower left in pic) is my dog's love!!

I've been going to Café Elite for about 4 years, 2 to 3 times per day. When it comes to customer service, excellent is not good enough to describe how amazing they have always been to me. The quality of the coffee, again perfect falls short of how good it is. No burnt tasting coffee here. Sam, the manager, has always been approachable, professional, and kind since day 1. Ash, Courtney, Cam, Sam, and Sarah are the dream team when it comes to exceptional coffee and customer service. Thank you for always being my only go-to coffee stand. Stay awesome, and I will see you girls in a few months

Adorable drive thru shop! The barista was sooo friendly and attentive! Ordered an oat milk white chocolate mocha with vanilla and oh my gosh. It is heavenly! Two thumbs up!

Every single experience I’ve ever had at this stand has been amazing. Every single barista is so nice and friendly; well besides one who’s name I can’t remember because she never said anything and just had a bad attitude but thankfully she’s not there anymore!! good job management on weeding out the bad apples that are toxic for reasons unknown. Anyone who has a genuine and authentic personality will get along with of all of these gals and they make a really good cup of coffee!

Baristas are always smiling, friendly and eager to make the perfect drink. They work hard in a fast paced work place and make my coffee experience enjoyable. Always offering suggestions for drinks and they remember my daughter's order each time she goes through. Highly recommend Cafe Elite!

Best coffee. I have strong opinions. This is the best imo.

We are visiting from Oregon and was looking for a coffee shop. Saw this one and randomly stopped in. The ladies were very put together and had smiles. I got a blended white chocolate mocha and my sister and daughter got smoothies. OMG the coffee is so good! I love a strong coffee taste. The smoothies were nicely blended and my 5 year old asked if we could go back unfortunately we leave tomorrow back to Oregon and I don't think they have these coffee stands. Thanks for the great drinks ladies!

Stopped here for coffee as we thought it would be a better option than to Shell that we originally pulled into (cafe is located in the same parking lot). Definitely great coffee at a great price, top notch service as well. We didn't order food while we were here though that is an option.
