fav coffee of our SA trip. on the last day of course we discover the ultimate banger brown house. we went to around 6 or 7 specialty coffee joints over the course of the trip and all were great but elementary was hands down the winner. the batch brew coffee was 11/10. zero bitterness, the right strength (sometimes batchys are woefully strong) and you could actually taste the tasting notes mentioned on the beans! em’s cappuccino was strong and full flavoured and all the while smooth as hell. thanks elementary. mega fans already (Babychino could be much more froth and less milk, it’s not coffee, so def not including in the review score!)

It's a busy coffee shop, seems a popular place to hang out for Adelaide city dwellers (white collar workers, tourists, students or just passer by) especially during morning hours. Serving the best coffee and some hot food and pastry. Might try food from the menu when is not too busy.

It was very early in the morning when I stepped into Elementary Coffee in Adelaide. I have to say that I could immediately feel the positive vibes in the café from both, the staff as well as the customers, a HAPPY PLACE! When I looked at the barista, he gave me a big smile. I asked him whether he has a tasty coffee. OF COURSE, he answered! What coffee would you like to have? A super sweet and tasty filter coffee, please! He continuously smiled and said: Kenya! The day could not have started any better. MAKE IT EXTRA SWEET JUICY AND LINGERING. He must have thought that I am a total nerd! When I got my cup of coffee and my toasty, he kept smiling at me: YOUR COFFEE! Can you believe it. The Kenyan filter coffee was extra sweet, extra juicy and extra lingering. Coffee is not only about the taste only; it is more about the entire coffee experience: tasty coffee in a happy environment. I also enjoyed the simple interior design, the roastry in the back of the café and I also enjoyed reading the coffee, design, and fashion magazines. While I enjoyed my toasty and slurped my coffee, I saw many more happy people coming and going. A perfect coffee encounter.

I got 5 star service & good coffee from Elementary team. Actually, i forgot my headphone in Adelaide trip, i flew back to Melbourne at the same day. Luckily, Elementary team found my headphone and sent it back to Melbourne for me with a high quality coffee beans bag to enjoy. With a great service like this, now i understood why Elementary always have many customers. All my best wish for Elementary team, you did well service & coffee quality.

The coffee was smooth and well balanced. I also tried the almond crescent, which wasn’t overly sweet, just the way I like it. Cozy atmosphere and friendly service made it even better!

Elementary Cafe is Adelaide’s Coffee Gem with a Melbourne Soul! Tucked just a short stroll from Rundle Mall, Elementary Cafe is the kind of spot that makes you want to linger. The moment you step in, you’re greeted by that unmistakable warehouse conversion charm: high ceilings, exposed brick, plenty of light, and an easygoing buzz that says, “Yeah, we take our coffee seriously here.” And they really do. I ordered the Magic, a Melbourne-born concoction that’s essentially a double ristretto topped with just the right froth of milk. It's a strong, silky hit of caffeine that means business. No surprise that the barista (and I suspect, the owner) hailed from Melbourne; you can taste that precision in every sip. Even the latte art had flair. To go with it, I grabbed a focaccia, warm and perfectly seasoned. Simple, but done right. Add in a trendy crowd that seems to have stepped straight out of an indie film, and you’ve got a vibe that’s effortlessly cool without trying too hard. Elementary Cafe nails it: great coffee, cool space, and that touch of Melbourne coffee culture right in the heart of Adelaide. Consider this my new go-to when I’m in town.
