The Lemon Meringue Pie and coffee was amazing!

Thanks Johan & Len @ Ellen Jay for an absolutely delicious brunch followed by poppy seed cake!

In a beautiful shop full of colours, textures and materials is a wonderful restaurant called ‘Ellen Jay’.The owners, Len and Johan and their staff welcome you with warm smiles and offer you food that is made with love. The attention to every detail, everything is made by hand and from scratch. From delicious pot pies, home made preserves to the best selection of home made cakes, like plum tart, frangipani tart, flourless almond and orange cake... and many more, it is very hard to choose just one and you leave looking forward to visiting again soon!The restaurant has a delightful garden setting with a water fountain and fragrant flowers that make you feel so relaxed, you dont want to leave.

Charming, devine cakes, bakes, preserves and yummy lunches. Such a special space to relax and meet with friends. Beautiful decor and wonderful ambiance.

Curbside pickup of order at Ellen Jay! The most fantastic preserves, jams & marmalades, pecan & ginger rusks, variety of quiches, spinach, feta & dill pie in phyllo pastry and of course the carrot cake! Lots of beautiful gifts to choose from. All beautifully boxed. Thank you Len & Johan and your wonderful staff.

My two friends Len & Johan always welcomes you with a smile. Excellent service. You would think the staff were all family.
