We went to Ellen’s for breakfast this morning and oh. My. GOD🤩. This place was just incredible! Ellen, you’ve got such a talent! You really need to try this place out. Even my hubby liked it and he’s hard to please (HAH! 🤣). My daughter, Tina (I like to call her my teeny Tina because she’s short) said it was better iced coffee than Starbucks, and you know how much these Gen Z kids love their coffee 🤭 (HAH!). Anywho, I got the chick pea and chorizo hash and that was just amazing! My other kiddo, Louise, got the French toast and it smelled soooo good. Louise said it was better than my hubby’s (and that’s a high bar to clear! (HAH! 🤣)). Definitely come here for breakfast and their coffee. It’s a must!

Went in for the first time for breakfast, really cute cafe and the staff were super friendly. Ordered a creamy mushroom on toast dish that came with poached eggs. I asked for the eggs to be on a side plate and the staff member was so nice and said that wasn't a problem (I have been out for breakfast in Douglas where the waiter rolled his eyes at the same request). The food was delicious, my husband had the Full Whack and the hash browns were so crispy! Can't recommend enough, nice atmosphere, really good food and really friendly, warm and accommodating staff.
