Welcome to Elk Espresso

“ Wonderful experience!! We were greeted friendly by staff and only had to wait a couple of minutes to be seated despite having 6 people. All the staff were really kind and friendly and the atmosphere of the restaurant was very warm overall. Our drinks arrived swiftly followed shortly by our food. All the food had good portions and tasted extremely fresh. The staff did a great job telling us the different dietary options for those of us that have different food allergies. There was one dish that arrived later but the staff were extremely apologetic and even offered us a free drink and ended up giving us the dish for free. This honestly was the reason for the good review as the communication was top notch and the staff were lovely! 10/10 experience, would highly recommend. ”

“ The Heart and Soul of Broadbeach! We visited Elk Espresso today for Australia Day from Jimboomba, and honestly, it was a masterclass in how hospitality should be done. In a world that often feels like it’s losing its spirit, the team here is keeping the "old-fashioned" service alive that we found super refreshing. The front-of-house staff were incredible, despite the holiday rush, they were social, interactive, and genuinely engaged with everyone. It wasn't just about moving plates; it was about building a connection and making the atmosphere feel like a real community hub. But the real magic is happening in the kitchen. We often forget that the chefs are the heart and soul of cafes and restaurants, and the crew here proved it today. You can taste the hard work and passion in every dish. They are the engine room that keeps the pulse of this place beating, and their dedication on such a busy day didn't go unnoticed. If you want a place that values hard work, human connection, with delicious food presented well on the plate, this is it. Thank you to the whole team for making our Australia Day so special! Last but not least. The owner has done an exceptional job. Employees are reflection of the individual(s) who own it. Well done everyone. See you again upon our next visit. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ ”

“ Restaurant was fully packed but staff were absolute pros at dealing with all that volume. Their friendliness and professionalism did not waver. There’s a reason Elk has consistently been the go-to cafe in Broadbeach for a decade. Food and drinks were all great. I’d come back here again, again and again. Was a big fan of their sister restaurant, “Sparrow Eating House” and still looking forward to some kind of comeback. ”
