Reviews
The weather conditions made it challenging to keep the door open, resulting in unpleasant odours from outdoor smokers affecting nearby customers. It would be appreciated if the establishment could consider closing the door to alleviate this issue. Additionally, the quality of the food was not up to par. The shakshuka and omelette lacked flavour and seemed hastily prepared. The dishes quickly got cold due to the open door. The juice portion size was appropriate for the price. While the decor was aesthetically pleasing, the overall ambience lacked a cosy feel. Personally, I find this establishment more enjoyable during the winter season when the doors are closed, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere. During the summer months, it would be advisable to keep the doors partially closed to minimise the impact of secondhand smoke and traffic noise from the adjacent main road. The tables near the coffee machine should be placed further away, or the staff should be more cautious when handling dishes to reduce noise. The service provided was excellent.
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.
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!
Brilliant food - from the big breakfast to the smoothie bowls, all is delicious. Great drinks too - tea, coffee, smoothies! Amazing staff and ambience, highly recommend
