Elk Bakery

Love this place . Wonderful variety of tasty breakfast/ brunch items. Brioche Bagels are huge…eat with a knife and fork. Fluffy pancakes are exceptional …even with the meat sauce. Take me there anytime

My family and I recently popped into Elk Bakery for breakfast, and while the place definitely lives up to its well-deserved hype, it was the service that truly made our morning. The vibe is cool and the menu is huge. We ordered quite a spread, including the Club Sandwich, Eggs California, Eggs & Bagel, and the Avocado Croast. Everything was solid—well-made, tasty, and satisfying. The coffee (a cappuccino and an americano) was also perfect. No complaints at all on the food front; it was exactly what we needed to start the day. However, the real standout was our server, Ilaria. With a big family order like ours, things can sometimes get complicated or rushed, but Ilaria was fantastic. She was friendly, super efficient, and genuinely seemed happy to help us. She made sure our coffees and food came out smoothly and checked on us just the right amount. Honestly, it's that kind of straightforward, warm service that makes a restaurant experience special, especially when you're visiting with family. If you're in Verona and looking for a fantastic American-style breakfast or brunch spot, Elk Bakery is an easy recommendation. The food is great, but ask for Ilaria—she'll take great care of you.

Elk Bakery is one of the coziest spots we visited in Italy! The atmosphere was warm and welcoming, and the staff were incredibly friendly and attentive. The food was absolutely delicious; everything tasted fresh and made with care. What made our experience even more special is how thoughtful the staff were. We came from Saudi Arabia, and they immediately understood that we wanted our orders to be Halal without us even needing to explain much. It was one of the best experiences we had during our trip to Italy. Overall, 10/10. Whether you’re looking for great food, a friendly team, or a cozy place to relax, Elk Bakery in Verona is the perfect choice.

Recommended by my daughter this is clearly a hotspot. Space is in high demand, but turn over of tables is efficient so worth the wait if you have to Food is amazing and not the typical you would expect. Cold coffee and pancakes with cheese and bacon. Yup feels odd tastes amazing Honestly I recommend this place highly servers are very professional and helpful. Extremely friendly place with good food

During my month in Italy I had the chance to visit Elk Bakery in Verona, and even though I went only once, it left such a strong impression that I still think about it. The atmosphere was inviting the moment I walked in, with a stylish yet comfortable vibe that made it feel like the perfect stop during a day of exploring. The food was simply outstanding — every bite tasted fresh and seasonal, with brunch dishes that struck the right balance between creative flair and comforting familiarity. The coffee was equally memorable, rich and smooth, the kind you linger over while taking in the energy of Verona. What really elevated the experience was the service — friendly, attentive, and genuinely welcoming, which made me feel more like a local than a visitor. Elk Bakery is the kind of place that captures the best of Italian café culture, blending fabulous bites with excellent coffee and warm hospitality. Even though I only visited once during my travels, it stood out as a highlight of my month in Italy and is absolutely a spot I would return to without hesitation on my next trip to Verona.

The prices are just a tiny bit expensive (at least for breakfast) If you have some extra euros to spent it's a must visit. The food was delicious and after the meal we were full. If its really crowded, you might wait for a table. Overall we liked it.

Amazing place for brunch, the menu is well curated with good quality ingredients. Pancakes and Avocado toasts are absolute favourites. Highly recommended place but a prior booking is advisable otherwise the waiting time could increase especially during weekend.

Being a busy Sunday there was a large cue but it was worth the wait! It was the best breakfast I’d had in a long time. The food preparation is beautiful and you have such a wide variety of menu options to suit literally anyone. I would love to come back!! (I recommend the spaghetti pancakes - delish!!)
