I absolutely love this coffee always smooth and always on point. The food is amazing. Love the toasties. And I always get welcomed with a smile when I come get my coffee. A good chat. And I LOVE that about a coffee shop the community and the chat amongst others is so important and rare these days. Highly recommend. If you don't care about any of that except the coffee let me REPEAT...COFFEE IS FANTASTIC

Super comfortable cafe with above average service set in a quiet area with top notch coffee with a taste that will suit all preferences. From the moment I walked in the door, I felt super welcome and well attended to. They clearly care about customer service. It’s been the most welcoming cafe I’ve ever been to. I had my kids with me and they were treated very nicely and they had nice options for them as well as books for them to read! They have covered seating outside and a cozy sofa seating layout inside. I prefer brews that are more chocolate and my husband prefers citrus so we rarely find a place that we both love. It’s exceptional coffee. And when there was a mix up with my order, they insisted that I help myself to a free dessert. I will definitely be back when I’m on the area. It’s a total gem

I only visit the Emporio complex occasionally, but I am always remembered by the lovely owners in this cafe. They do a fabulous job of making everyone feel special. Their food is delicious and their coffee is worth every cent. It's so lovely to visit a cafe where you are made to feel as though you are valued, just because you walk through their door. Excellent people, excellent service and excellent food and drinks.
