Elcy's Cafe - Glenside

Excellent coffee espresso, nice staff, cute location highly recommend!

Great local cafe and an awesome place to people watch in the summer during rush hour. Been here for a while. The food and ambiance were better back in the day, with a cooler hip fun team of people. It was opened at night with live music and fun people hanging out. That is all gone since it was sold. But still a good place. Food is still good but a little smaller and feels more measured.

One of our favorite local spots in Glenside. They have excellent pastries, delicious breakfast options, yummy coffee and my toddlers favorite... smoothies! It has become a nice weekend ritual to walk to the cafe with our littles to get our breakfast treats. My favorite is their Deluxe breakfast sandwich with bacon, egg, avocado, cheddar, tomato, spinach, chipotle mayo on a bagel--it's just the best around. We also love picking up giant bags of Valley Green Coffee Co whole beans for the days we make our own coffee. We like dark coffee so Devils Pool is one of our favorite roasts! When I was commuting into the city for work, there literally could not be a better option for coffee on the go or last minute food when running late. It is really cozy inside and there are tables outside, which is perfect for kids who love to run around and also wave hello at the trains. In non-pandemic times, it's nice to sit inside but definitely a bit too tight for working on a laptop (and not guaranteed to be near a spot with an outlet).

Long wait but we talked with some nice people in line. The blueberry and cornmeal pancakes were a disappointment. We will come back but will order from the daily specials instead of the regular menu.

Right by the Glenside train station, very relax place with seating outdoor, breakfast place
