Comfortable, small and convenient bakery with a small food menu that was perfect.

Our Thanksgiving was spoiled by a $50 Sour Cream pound cake my daughter picked up fromEmeche on Wednesday. She irdered it a week ago. It was extremely dense, dry, and had way too many ingredients. No one could eat it because it was difficult to swallow. We would have done much better with a Marianos or Jewel's poind cake., and would have paid much less. My daughter decided to trash it but I convinced her to bring whats left back to the bakery and speak to the owner. We were both under the weather all week, and still are, so it will be an effort coming back. I told her I would come with her, today, two days after Thsnkdgivong. I am a cardiac patient and have to take it easy. We will see how the owner handles this, and if the results are unsatisfactory, or if the owner is condescending to us. If so, we will never ever buy from Emeche again. There are so many other places we could gave gone to complete our Thanksgiving dinner. This was a disgrace, as a "black" business" and because Emeche is in a predominantly black community, it is worse.

We were on the hunt for a bakery that could make a vegan hummingbird cake for an event and Emeche made our cake dreams come true! Possibly one of the best cakes I've ever had; everyone at the event asked us where it was from! Flawless experience from beginning to end.

I have adult ADHD so I left my wallet went back and the cashier said you back for your wallet and just like that I'm hooked. Wouldn't recommend losing ur wallet but recommend this business. It's very warm and inviting and I love the flower bed outside.

Absolutely the best croissants I have had in my life!We ordered a bunch of bakery treats to cater our event down at 31st Harbor and they were all amazing! The owner hand delivered them and was great to work with! Thank you!

Congratulations Janell for the opening of your store front!!! I remember purchasing your strawberry shortcake jars from the Taste of Islam at Mosque Maryam and then meeting you at Dollar Tree to pick up additional orders. I am glad to still have access to delicious pastries from your beautiful bakery. Also, thank you for still placing the pastry in glass jars. I love reusing them for portioned drinks! #saving the environment! Congrats again!!

I enjoyed the vibes of this place. A feeling of home. The customer service is amazing.I enjoyed the vegan strawberry and cream donut.I purchased the vegan red velvet cake and it was good. Moist and dry an interesting consistency. Not the best I’ve had but I will definitely be back to support.

I ordered a oat milk latte and vegan donut. Latte tasted more of a coffee with a splash of milk. :( Vegan donut was tasty.Also, kitchen closes at 2pm so no sandwiches were available when I arrive.I recommend the pastries.

I love coming here. Everything is made fresh to order. Very personable staff and the atmosphere is so warm and welcoming.I ordered my husband breakfast from here and ran it to his job. He immediately messaged me and said “this food was so good. Where did you get it from?”Needless to say, we’ll be customers long to come.Professionally Yours,TV
