This cafe is nearby my parent home, which it gives you a good chance to invite your family and have fun, great, and warmth time with your loved ones. I love the decoration of garden outside the cafe which is well and beautifully decorated. It is surrounded with lots of different plants and colorful flowers. What’s more, there are lots of places to sit outdoor to enjoy the beauty of the garden and your food at the same time. The decoration is updating according to the local and international occasions.Regarding food, so far I tried only coffee and few types of desserts. I loved the taste of brownies with vanilla ice creams topped, and chocolate cake, they were moist and loaded with delicious chocolate. Also, the coffee was nice. πŸ‘πŸ» The staff are really friendly and helpful. They gave assistance to my family member who is on wheelchair to enter and exit from the place. This cafe has two floor, which first floor is bigger than the ground one.

We have eaten here quite a few times and the food is really good. I gave 4 stars because the only thing I was disappointed with was their tiramisu dessert, felt there was not enough coffee flavour. Other than that everything is 2 thumbs up. The staff are friendly and helpful. They often decorate the outside depending on the season or holiday. This adds an extra special ambience to the experience. We always look forward to what they going to do next.

One of the very pretty cafes I’ve come across in AD! Tucked away in Shakbout City, far from the city crowd and hustle, this place was a real delight.A very beautiful and welcoming entrance path, and some very interesting and cute backdrops for photo moments as you go in. (Lovely photos on my IG for this!)Good outdoor seating and a 2 storeyed indoor space with equally good looking interiors. I totally loved the vibe this place has to offer.It’s a Cafe & Restaurant so has some good food and coffee variety on its menu and nice service that totally made the experience and the drive worth it. Tried Oreo Milkshake, Chicken Fajita, Chicken Pineapple Fried rice and Cherry blossom latte that totally had my heart!🌸For me it tick marks as a must spot and somewhere i would visit again πŸ˜Šβœ…

First of all thanks to JAMAL one of their staff, he is got excellent personality and decency to represent such restraunt.Bakery products needs to change on serious note, not at all matching with the standard of your restraunt please. Breads specially.Well environment structure space is excellent. Want to spend some good time with loved one then please visit.Food honestly the taste is not wow i will say 5 out of 10.Tom yam soup taste was not authentic.Dynamite shirm i would advice to keep mayonese sauce less because already it is available on side who ever wants can dip for extra.Ice sizzling cream was not all sizzling πŸ™„πŸ™„Brownie was not with fresh layer on top. Very upset with desert.Sofa is too big to seat and eat. Even after moving table towards the sofa we were not able to seat and eat. Seat cushion and back cushion has big space.Need to add some extra cushion to support the back please.Thanks all the bestMaa sha ALLAH

Breakfast on a Friday morning with friends!As always they didn’t disappoint. We have requested mushroom soup which are not usually available for breakfast, but the chef obliged!We asked for a Best Bites discount in the beginning but it’s already too late that we realized it wasn’t deducted. But it’s ok. We’re still coming back!

Elysium has been the β€˜talk of the town’ during the festive season past with its β€˜Winter Wonderland’. It was extended until 15th Jan so we manage to see it. Don’t feel the Dhs20 entrance fee was justifiable, especially considering the β€œsnow” was starting to look somewhat β€˜weathered’.The cafe itself is lovely, really well decorated and very tasteful to say the least.From the moment you step up to the entrance, (where your temperature will be taken) all the way to table, the staff greet and give a very warm welcome. Charity was our server and was very pleasant and friendly. The Pistachio latte I ordered was slightly on the cold side and very sweet.The food was good in taste and quality, but for the price portions were somewhat small.Overall it was a pleasant experience, in what seems like the middle of nowhere, and would consider going back.

Loved the place, well decorated, great vibes. Lots of varieties in the menu. This place is highly recommended for chill in specially in the winter. As it just opened in the area I would suggest to develop their menu again with good options specially breakfast. All the best guys and sure will visit again.

Elysium Cafe and RestaurantWow! What a hidden gem to find in Abu Dhabi. This cafe is located in Shakhbout City.Currently have a lot of construction work in the area. Follow the map otherwise you’ll miss the turn.I visited on Friday morning and the place was decorated with balloons.Nice spacious seating area outside.Lovely play area for children.It’s one of those places where you can enjoy a really good cup of coffee while the kids play.Inside it’s even more cozy and relaxing. Spacious dining area upstairs with large comfortable chairs.Definitely a good place for a romantic dinner. Clean windows give you a good view to watch the sunset and enjoy your meal.We ordered Egg Skillet for breakfast.Two sunny side up eggs served with bacon, mushrooms and potatoes.The Hot Spanish Latte was very good.Latte Art was pretty.Asked for the Tiramisu but they didn’t have any. Instead got the chocolate cake. Cake was delicious.Mr Khalid was very polite and friendly.All the staff greeted with β€œGood Morning β€œParking space is available.Wheelchair accessible.

Best crab salad Ive had in Abu Dhabi and my friend loved their pizza! Full if toppings and lots and lots of cheese. There are no outdoor space heaters so dress appropriately. Its great to see the chef making his rounds and checking on food but the service is not efficient. Staff work hard but not smart. Some further training to streamline their service would greatly benefit this Cafe. Great spot otherwise!

After reading all the nice reviews, we finally made it to Elysium CafΓ©. The name says it all. A small paradise (Elysian fields from Greek mythology) at the edge of Shakhbout City. An amazing garden full of flowers and four olive trees that complete the scene. Thousands of lights give a special tone in the evening. The menu is international and the food presentation excellent. A place to put in your list of favorites.
