El&n in City of London, Westminster

The Elan cafe is a nice place to have a quick drink or small cakes with friends, however it is a bit smaller compared to the others. but the scenery is lovely and pretty.

Nice food and drinks and pleasant staff but this place is let down by how the food is presented ie on pink plastic/polystyrene-like trays and wooden cutlery- there is a (rather treacherous) spiral staircase to the floor below where there is additional seating this area is in need of a deep clean as is the toilet

I didn't know there was a cake heaven in Soho :) Me and my husband were browsing Soho for a place to get some coffee and cake - and then we saw their huge cake display in the window. So ofc we had to go in. I got some kind of berry cake (unfortunately I can't remember which kind) and my husband got a cheesecake with salty caramel - and OMG!!! That cheesecake was probably the best I've ever tasted!!! Highly recommendable if you're a cake fan like me :)

OMG the cakes are amazing, i had the pistachio cake it was a light as a cloud and delicious. The sandwiches looked delicious. The place was clean and tidy the male members of staff was friendly and happy the older older lady that was serving needs a lessons on how to smile and on politeness. But would definitely recommend going .

I bought a vegan cake from there and when I got home realised it was fluffy and mouldy. This was quite a shock as it cost £7 for the cake. A complete waste of money and luckily I noticed as I am pregnant and that is a health and safety hazard.

Cleanliness is disgustingly bad! No one bothered to pick the dirty cups and tissues lying on tables, on the floor. Downstairs looked like a dump site as if no one had cleaned it for days. When asked to clean, the staff said they were short of staff hence couldn't clean. Food was tasty but the dirt everywhere around the cafe and outside made the whole experience frustrating. This cafe is like a black spot to Carnaby street. Shameful to say the least!

Lors de notre passage à 19h, les sandwich etaient tous à l’air libre, ils n’étaient pas au frais, les pains étaient très durs, et le saumon n’était ducoup pas frais du tout. Au final les sandwichs ont fini à la poubelle de peur de tomber malade.
