“I might be Eleanor’s Place’s biggest fan! I love absolutely everything about it—from the amazing coffee to the impeccable décor.  EP has been a lifesaver during the pandemic– I am grateful for a place to clear my head and knock out both work and personal tasks. Most of all, I’ve loved getting to know a whole new community of amazing and inspiring women.“
