Certainly many Elves, especially Avari and Sindar, had no kind words for Dwarves and did not welcome them. The Noldor though, at least, had some things in common with them, and saw value in befriending them. Both they and the Dwarves shared reverence for Aulë, and a love for crafts of their own making.
The Noldor of Eregion appear to have had quite a friendship with the Dwarves of Moria, with profit to both sides.
