After the free Tai Chi classes finished a few weeks ago we have been missing getting up early on a Wednesday and meeting our friends before starting work. So this week we initiated Wednesday Coffee Mornings and ventured out to a little cafe in Elephant & Castle that we have had hour eye on for a while..
The Electric Elephant is a small independently run cafe and gallery located between Elephant & Castle and Kennington tube stations. Louisa, the owner, has given the cafe a lovely friendly feel with a homely, vintage-esque decor and some delightful home cooked food. If you are lucky enough to get some good weather you can even sit outside on the Victorian cobbled yard with the mis-match tables and chairs - love!
We sampled their cappuccinos and can confirm that they make a great cup of coffee! Most of the other cafes in the area are your typical 'greasy spoon caff' specialising in the all important full english rather than their interior and quality of coffee. Which was another reason we are delighted to have found The Electric Elephant. We cannot wait to go back and sample more of the menu..the homemade cakes looked divine and the sausages they were cooking were driving us insane.
If you are ever in the area and looking for a cute little place to waste away an hour or two (there is free Wifi) we highly recommend this cafe; give us a call and we may even come and join you!
Stay tuned for reviews on other coffee shops we visit while catching up with our friends.
