The Elk - West Village

The Elk is a coffee shop located on the very west side of the West Village on Charles street. The area where The Elk is located at is quiet but people that enjoy coffee would trek into west village to have coffee here despite the fact that it is a bit far from the train. The inside of the coffee shop you will find a lot of stuff made from woods as well as white, simple stuff. The tables and the seats are all wood and the counter as well. The place has 4 tables and some window seats on the other side of the door. Overall the interior of the place is very modern.

            The main reason why I wanted to review The Elk is because they are the only coffee shop that serves beans from Sightglass Roaster. Sightglass is a roaster based on San Francisco and I always ordered beans from them on their online shop. Bluestone Lane also used to serve sightglass beans but they had stopped, so The Elk is the only place that still serves Sightglass. In The Elk, you can get regular brew coffee, espresso drinks such as latte and cappuccinos, and they also does chemex. My favorite was the single origin beans chemex, chemex is a pour over coffee in this glass container. The chemex is definitely what I order every time I go, however it is on a pricey side.
