Serving caffe’ espresso "the way it’s supposed to be", Elena’s also offers cappucino, Italian subs and pastries, and other assorted food. Elena’s is celebrating their 15th anniversary on Central Avenue this month. "It’s been good here", says the owner, Elena Giglio.

There are plenty of Elena "regulars" to be found at any given time in the cozy cafe, chatting with Elena or her family members that also work there. Orders are available for takeout or can be eaten at one of the tables inside. Elena’s is open from 7-6pm Monday through Friday, 7-5pm on Saturday, closed on Sundays. Call ahead for orders at 434-2253 or stop in at 112 Central Avenue, Albany.
