Elan Cafe which stands for Eat, Live and Nourish was founded by Alexandra Miller in 2017. The UK may know this brand to be the 'most instagrammable' cafe and lifestyle brand.

Meet Me at the Station
As soon as you walk out of the barriers in St Pancras, you are greeted with bright pink interiors of Elan Cafe which can not be missed. As soon as you walk in you can smell the fragrance of coffee and sweets in the delightful air! As the cafe is quite long there was not much space for seating as I believe this Elan cafe is to go and not exactly to sit in and drink. So, I grabbed my usual order which is soya cappuccino and a plain croissant. The exact total came up to £6 which is pretty decent considering the location and brand and I was happy enough to enjoy my beverage sat down. However, it is kind of uncomfortable sitting in and cold. As the interior is mostly made out of stainless steel I am not surprised the place would be quite cold. However, it is anti bacterial which is great especially at a train station.

Conclusion
In conclusion, I would definitely come back to visit the cafe for a coffee to go because the whole experience was great. The coffee was lovely and the decor is so unique and definitely compliments the cafe. I do think it is good value for money but not to spend each time you travel but good for once in a while. It is a lovely treat to have at the station. Although I will add the staff was not that friendly and you can tell how tired they are just from their expressions and body language...AND while I fully understand how they feel it is not great customer experience.

Anyways, that is all for now!
