The ELK is a specialty cafe and general store in Manhattan's West Village, owned and operated by Vancouver native Claire Chan. The rustic-style coffee shop is infused with a rugged Pacific Northwestern flair, with decor elements crafted with the outdoors in mind. Sustainably-sourced single-origin pourovers are served up each morning, along with a wide variety of coffee shop beverages, including cortados, Americanos, and specialty lattes and mochas. Non-coffee drinkers can enjoy a selection of assorted loose-leaf teas, delicious ginger and lemon steamers, or superfood-infused smoothies highlighting ingredients such as blackberries, kale, and coconut milk. A light menu of cafe fare is served daily, including items such as baked egg toasts and brûléed grapefruit. Visitors can also purchase a selection of home items, ranging from homemade jams to succulents and locally-produced candles.
