Relish Cafe & Confections is a standout spot in downtown and an easy place to recommend if you’re looking for a polished café experience. We stopped in for a parfait and coffee, and both were excellent. The parfait was fresh, well balanced, and clearly made with quality ingredients, while the coffee was smooth and well prepared — exactly what you want from a place that takes its offerings seriously. Nothing felt rushed or mass-produced, and the quality really showed.
The atmosphere leans upscale for a café, with a clean, stylish interior that feels intentional rather than overly cozy or cluttered. It’s a great place to sit for a bit and enjoy what you ordered without feeling cramped or chaotic. Service was somewhat distracted, but still efficient and effective. Even though the staff seemed busy, everything was handled correctly and professionally, and we never felt ignored or forgotten.
Pricing felt fair for the quality of the food, drinks, and setting. This isn’t a bargain-basement café, but it delivers enough value that the cost makes sense. Street parking is available nearby, which is typical for a downtown location and wasn’t a problem during our visit.
Overall, Relish Cafe & Confections delivers a high-quality experience with good food, solid coffee, and an elevated café vibe. I would absolutely go back and would recommend it to locals, travelers, or anyone spending time downtown who wants a reliable, well-executed place to stop for something sweet and a good cup of coffee.

We had brunch here two days in a row and had two very different experiences. On Saturday, the brunch service, food, and staff were all excellent. Sunday, however, was a different story. While the food was still very good, the service was below average.
I placed my order and waited about 20 minutes without receiving it. During that time, our server stopped by to offer a coffee refill and said my food was on the way. It seemed likely that the order hadn’t been put in initially and was only noticed during that visit. After another 10 minutes, I asked about my food and mentioned that it had been roughly 20 minutes. For context, the restaurant was not busy—only a handful of tables were occupied.
Another staff member brought my food and responded rudely, insisting it hadn’t been 20 minutes and stating she had checked the ticket and it showed only 13 minutes. We weren’t upset or confrontational; we simply wanted to eat and settle our check. The defensive response felt unnecessary. While it may have been 13 minutes since the ticket was entered, that didn’t account for the initial delay. There was no need to argue with us.
Overall, the inconsistent service left a poor impression, and we likely wouldn’t return if we’re back in Elkhart.

Came here on a whim after there was a long wait at tipsy biscuit. They didn’t have their full breakfast menu that was listed on their website, but we found something to order regardless. Food was fantastic. Their quiche crust was perfect. We really enjoyed their blueberry lemon waffles as well. Prices were really fair. I would definitely come here again.

Went to Relish trying to support a local business. Absolutely horrible. We stood for well over 5 minutes at the host stand next to the Please wait to be seated sign. There was a woman working behind the counter that chose to continue to ignore us along with 2 hotel or restaurant employees and a cook for the restaurant. Finally the server came and asked us if we were waiting to be seated and then moved the sign stating it was seat yourself. The place was a ghost town and now I know why. One other table (2 guests of the hotel). The food came scary fast once we did order. We actually got our food and were done eating in 19 minutes. Partially because i ordered a breakfast sandwich that was so greasy and had an old taste so I ate the overcooked potatoes and let the waitress know I couldn’t eat the sandwich. ( She did take it off and offer to get me something else) My husband ordered the same overcooked potatoes, scrambled eggs, overcooked bacon and overcooked toast. Online is showed all these delightful looking sweets and it’s PART OF THEIR NAME!! And it was comical. The shelves and cases were empty. I assume they are going to close soon based on this experience and the appearance of the place. Huge disappointment. Don’t waste your time.

This cute restaurant is inside a hotel. I was greeted as I walked in from the hotel lobby. (I was not staying at the hotel)The white chocolate espresso I bought was brought to me in a togo cup. Water was in a cute little glass. The waffle I ordered was very good. The waffle itself was spinach flavored which was new but it was very good.

This place could use some help. Service wasn’t friendly, and it’s obvious that they were over seeing customers for the day. I undstand wanting to leave; but if you close at 11, your 10:30 customers are still deserve polite service. Gloves and handwashing washing don’t seem important. Moving between food and other duties requires proper hygiene protocols. I didn’t enjoy the one bite I took of my croissant. Quality was bad. Coffee was average. Atmosphere was cute.

Stopped in to grab a coffee and a bite for breakfast. I was immediately greeted by one of the servers and offered a menu. I ordered the breakfast Sammie. The Sammie is a breakfast sandwich made from their house made cheddar and spinach waffle. The overall flavor was good, the waffle lacked a bit of crunch. And I would have like to have the spinach in smaller pieces throughout the waffle. The latte I ordered was good, a bit pricey for the size. Overall, nice experience may consider a second visit in the future.

Four stars is overly generous for the service we got, but the food is delicious.
The place is definitely understaffed and undertrained.
We had trouble any time we needed a server to bring us water, or our bill, or to take it when we paid. Part of that is where we were sitting, close to the window, behind a massive piller. But part of it was just because they had too few people doing way too much.
It was also extremely loud. The room is open, with nothing to dampen the noise. There were a lot of people chatting very loudly and that was… unpleasant.
The seats at the middle tables were pretty comfy, but the decor is oddly mismatched and if you’re not careful you’ll end up in a very uncomfortable seat – which will make the wait seem even more interminable.
I had the French toast with berries, which was available even though it’s not on the brunch menu, which was brought even though it was 9 and not yet 10 when brunch starts. It’s good french toast, expected more berries for the price. The toast itself was not as thick as at most restaurants, but that meant I could eat it all without being too full.
My husband had the country fried steak, he said it was good.
We also bought donuts. They change daily, but today they had maple bacon, peach cobbler, milk & cookies, and Nutella fritter. We also bought an almond orange croissant. We’ve only tried the croissant and the peach cobbler donut, but they were both amazing.
I don’t know if I’d come back for breakfast, but I will certainly buy more baked goods here. Though the wait for those is still long and chaotic.
Pro tip: there are restrooms in the cafe, but they’re not super visible. When you come in turn left, then left again. There’s another set in the hotel lobby. Both are single occupancy, which is madness in a location with so many people.

Got to try this cute little cafe inside Hotel Elkhart downtown. The atmosphere was nice , staff was friendly and attentive. Food was great with the exception the avocado toast was bland . All in all a nice experience! Wish they had alittle more to choose from on the menu for breakfast .
