The Elysian Room's most notable characteristic is its smell, which is difficult to describe, except with the word 'vegan.' That's not to say that TER is a vegan operation; it just smells vegan.
Coffee:
TER is the only cafe I've visited to employ 'naked' portafilters. The resulting espresso is impressive in texture with thick, plentiful crema, but usually more acidic than I'd prefer. Thick, round lips on the cups necessitate a special kind of sipping, which marginally decreases my enjoyment of the coffee.
Roast seems to vary, but I've most frequently had Intelligentsia.
They also have a clover.
Atmosphere:
Suffice it to say that The Elysian Room is situated among a crystal store, a healthy-attitude sex shop (Green Vagina?) and a BMW dealership. The staff are hipsters of the most well-scrubbed variety.
