I've been going to 5th element from time to time for a number of months now, and have been regularly impresses. The staff, and especially the owner, Todd, is awesome. Very friendly, and genuinely happy that you're coming to the cafe. And the coffee is good as well.
My only gripe is with milk-based drinks. Every time I order a cappuccino, I get a latte. Even if you ask for a dry cappuccino. Not sure why, but there is always an exceptionally large amount of liquid milk in my drink.
With the exception of that one complaint, everything else is excellent. Get an espresso. Get a pour over, Get a latte, if that's your thing. You'll be happy.
