| - Far bigger than I imagined, Elixir is quite spacious with ample seating, lounge areas off to the sides (complete with comfy couches) & even a mini stage (for what purpose, I do not know). The decor is interesting to say the least...very Victorian-esque, with oil paintings of scenic landscape on the walls, flowery furniture and gold accents. The serenity and decor of this place made me feel like I was in the lounge area of a spa. The theme continued to the bathroom as well, where I found myself confused by the really low-placed mirror and the tiny vanity. Truthfully, I expected an organic cafe to have a modern design w/ simple, clean features & bright colors. Anyways, it was a surprise.
The menu features a lot of healthy choices, including vegan and vegetarian items. There are also cakes and other baked treats behind the glass display at the counter. I didn't eat anything, but I did have a glass of Iced Green Tea (free refill!). I'm not a tea expert, but the green tea didn't really taste like green tea. But overall, it was refreshing. The server was very friendly and definitely made sure my glass always had tea in it, so extra points for the lovely service. This place closes at 7, but the owner/server said she wouldn't close shop until all the customers left :) I'll have to come back to try the food sometime as it looked good.
