Lovely place in North Finchley with a such impressive service (super quick and friendly) also the food was amazing! The place is not massive, but there is a quick turnover of clients, so the wait is not very long when there aren't seats. I def recommend it 👌

Absolute gem of a place. All halal menu which is very rare for artisan cafe. Thank you for such a lovely breakfast. Plenty paid parking outside and menu is decently priced. 5 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

No complaints. I really enjoyed both the savory chicken and sweet apple crepes. Quick and affordable. Nice lady staff.

We were around in North Finchley for a play at arts depot when came across this gem of a place for brunch. Their salad bowls tempted me to go inside but the menu had a lot of my favourite breakfast dishes so I ended up ordering Shakshouka that tasted quite similar to how I cook this dish at home. Do try it! The baguettes were delicious too. Staff here were super attentive and friendly with great sense of humour. It was good to see them all enjoy their work and try to put a smile on everyone’s faces and maintain great vibes. Highly recommend visiting here. Although it’s out of the way and we don’t normally go to Finchley but we might go again just to enjoy some breakfast here.

Food - incredible, I felt like I’m going to heaven while I was eating, the coffee was amazing also, we really regret we didn’t find this place sooner Staff - the nicest people I probably met in whole London, they are fast with delivering your order to your table The place is a little small which i don’t like generally but here I don’t really mind it’s a really nice and comfortable and safe place. Can’t wait to come back there ❤️

Picked up a couple of sausage and bacon cobs on the way out from the recycling place, easy to park, staff were friendly and the cobs were great!

Great breakfast and price. My husband had the standard breakfast and requested no black pudding they gave him another egg instead which certainly wasn’t expected definitely my go to place on a tip run. I would also feel very comfortable as a woman going on my own great place for food when you are waiting for the garage to replace your tyres

This restaurant/ cafe is a gem. I'd normally give an establishment like this a wide berth when the menu is ridiculously huge, from an amazing full English breakfast to a salt beef sandwich, spaghetti bolognaise, to a salad nicoise , everything is absolutely excellent! Definitely not a restaurant to go to on a first date but wow tremendous food!

Just stopped here on the off chance while charging EV next door. The food was delicious, had the Chicken Schnitzel Holstein, the chicken was beautifully tender while the coating of breadcrumbs was satisfyingly crispy. We will certainly visit again, highly recommend. 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

A warm welcome, great service, food was excellent. My chicken pasta with mushroom sauce was yummy. My four friends were just very happy with their food too. Reasonable prices also. I will definitely revisit to try more dishes from the varied menu. Top marks!

We love this place. When my partner and I don't feel like cooking and want a laid-back place with great food we come here. The owner is really friendly and the menu has just the right amount of variety. Even though we are always full we still get a dessert. The Jamaican rum cake and bread pudding (when available) are a must. They are dog-friendly which is a plus!

The service was good and the full breakfast nicely cooked and served hot. We found this place on Google and thought we will try it and it's a great cafe. We will visit again next time.

I recently visited Ems Coffee and had an incredible experience! The American pancakes were absolutely amazing—fluffy, light, and perfectly cooked. I also had a hot chocolate, which had just the right balance of sweetness. The perfect pairing for an early afternoon. Highly recommend this spot for anyone looking for delicious comfort food and a warm, welcoming atmosphere!

I have been going to Em's for years as it is near to where I live, and having tried all the local competition around Whetstone, I can honestly say Em's is number one. The menu is versatile and offers a wide array of breakfast, brunch and lunch options - hot and cold. I am partial to the American pancakes which are light, fluffy and cooked to perfection - which is difficult to achieve (trust me I've tried!). The English breakfast which also has a vegetarian option also offers a generous portion as does the organic smoothie bowl. The lattes are also one of the main reasons I love Em's which are thick, creamy and rich. The best thing about Em's is that it is a family run cafe, and the customers are treated as such. It is a fixture in the local community with the same faces coming and going. Shout out to Serge who always looks after us and treats us so well. The place is always full which is testament to its popularity. I'd recommend to anyone passing through the area.

Enjoyed a very nice brunch at Em's. The freshly squeezed orange juice is generous. Some of our party had the big breakfast - a full plate of cooked breakfast. I had Em's special, an onion, tomato, mushroom, lamb mince, spinach and poached egg dish. It was delicious and very filling. Staff were friendly and efficient, but didn't hurry us to leave as soon as we'd finished.

Amazing family run café by fay & her husband, delicious home baked cakes & pastries, amazing food, good portion sizes and very reasonably priced, spotlessly clean and lovely staff especially rose who is a pillar of the community and bakes all their delicious cakes and pastries.

The cafe is perfect with great service. The food is good quality and very tasty. I didn't wait long and moreover the cappuccino is very good. I will definitely come back here. If more stars could be given, it definitely deserves 20 as well.

Excellent service, really nice food and they actually made our iced coffee exactly how we’ve asked and was superb! A bit noisy outside because of the traffic but can’t do anything about it. 👏👏
