Been here a few times, love hanging out in the lane, it really has a great vibe. More recently came here for a wine at night and they had sangria cool :) LOVE THIS SPOT!

I meant this to be the Elske off Fort Lane in the Imperial Building. - Report

My wife sent me in to get some bread, she has read a review for Elske and asked me to go in as I work near by. I ended up getting a coffee and what I think was a fruit tart. The service was really good and the food was delicious. I had a coffee and ended up buying a pain au chocolate for afternoon tea.I've been back to Elske since and really like the pies, the lamb and kumara is my favourite.

Went for lunch before Christmas, the coffee was just okay, but the pastry products were absolutely awful. The pastry on both the lemon tarlet & Christmas mince tart were under cooked. The Christmas mince tart pastry was thick & the filling lacked any flavour. While the filling in the lemon tartlet needed more lemon & tasted of raw egg.
Expected a real pastry delight. Read several favourable reviews before lunching here, left feeling very disappointed

Just got take-away from Elske but what a feast it was! The croissants and danishes are crispy yet soft in the middle and don't leave your hands all oily. Parking is easy, although pay and display but definitely worth it. One of the best in town for sweet treats along with C'est Fromage and Little and Friday. Also great for the vast amount of fresh bread and looks like a great coffee/lunch spot as you can watch the artisans at work! Elske is a must!

Had to try the beignets at Elske after reading they were competition for the doughnuts at Little and Friday! They were yummy - a smaller version coated with granulated sugar rather than icing sugar, with a little bit of real fruit filling. They were light and delicious! Also tried the caramel slice, which had a nice, oaty base, but quite a weak caramel flavour. Elske is a good addition to that area of Newmarket.
