This place is small and cozy, making it a great spot to relax and enjoy a good coffee. The drinks were pretty good overall, but the banana bread latte really stood out, it was perfectly balanced and not too sweet, exactly the way I like it. The s’mores cookie was amazing: fluffy, gooey, and absolutely delicious. We also tried a croissant, and it was just as good fresh, buttery, and very satisfying. Everything felt thoughtfully made, and you can tell quality matters here. Definitely a spot worth stopping by if you’re in the area.

Consider me officially surprised: this quiet spot is a hidden gem built for productivity. The expansive table served as the perfect, focused headquarters for our Parent Club meeting—a crucial functional detail. The ambience is inherently relaxing, a sanctuary from the typical café din. My only design note is that the lighting could benefit from a softer, more intentional touch to match the calm energy. Now, let’s talk business: The coffee is phenomenal. I had a pour-over that was nuanced, delicious, and objectively superior to mass-market competitors. The downside? The pricing structure is ambitious. It's comparable to Starbucks, but that doesn't make it value-conscious. It’s better coffee, yes, but the price point is the singular reason for the deduction. Four stars for an exceptional product that demands a premium, and perhaps a second mortgage.

For the first time, I visited this place and met a girl named Maddy who works there. She was incredibly friendly, sweet, and I thoroughly enjoyed her interactions with the staff.She was incredibly friendly, sweet, and I thoroughly enjoyed her interactions with the staff.

I absolutely love Emmie’s Sidewalk Cafe! I just moved back from San Diego and this is exactly the vibe I’ve been missing. The shop is always clean, has a great seating area, and we love the AC its nice & cool!
Melanny is the sweetest, she makes the BEST Witchy Energy Fusion and always greets you with such a kind, welcoming energy. The whole team is so nice, and you can really feel the love in the space.
I like to come here not just for coffee, but also for a snack—the turkey sandwich is really good, and my absolute favorite is the chicken salad sandwich. Parking is easy to find, and they even have outdoor seating. Inside, there are plenty of plugs, which makes it a perfect spot if you’re working, studying, or doing homework.
I also love knowing I’m supporting a small business that truly cares about its customers. Highly recommend to anyone looking for great coffee, good food, and an even better atmosphere!

I come here often to get a latte and work on my laptop. Everyone is friendly and service is usually fast. The only time it’s slow is when the shifts are changing over and sometimes there is only one employee working and doing their best to take orders and make all the drinks. That’s ok with me though because good coffee is not fast! I prefer this place over Starbucks any day. Better quality coffee (Starbucks tastes terrible and burnt imo) and I love to support the small business coffee shops.
My only suggestion is to have a few options on the menu that are not super sweet. I usually go for a plain latte, which is great, but all the menu items have 3-4 syrups which makes them extremely sweet, so I have to heavily modify if I order one and it can be hit or miss if it ends up too sweet (probably popular with a lot of other people so I get it!).

Me and my sister in law had a bad experience today. We bought two Dubai chocolate latte didn’t even taste like it had pistachio in it , it just tasted like regular chocolate milk with a hint of bitter flavor in it. So we purchased another 2 different out of pocket drinks and where still disappointed with our drinks both was not made as we prefer. Very disappointing.
The staff is always so welcoming and playing great music. Drinks are top notch as well!

Emmie’s Sidewalk Café is an absolute hidden gem! The atmosphere is warm and cozy—perfect for a quiet coffee break or catching up with a friend. The coffee is delicious, and the homemade pastries add such a special touch. I highly recommend trying the Sea Breeze Latte and the Banana Bread Latte—they’re both so unique and full of flavor. Can’t wait to come back!

I really like the baristas here. 2 different times I wanted to try a new drink with special flavors and both times they “understood the assignment” my drink was so good! The breakfast sandwich is also delicious. I love coming here when I need to study or do some research
