As with practically any bakery/restaurant, there are pros and cons. First off, the food was delicious. The prices are reasonable. There's a self serve coffee bar. My coffee was hot and fresh. There is no waiter/waitress service (I wish there was). You order and pay at the counter. This being a bakery, I asked if they made their own breads. I was told that they do not which was surprising to me. I asked if I could buy a loaf of bread and was told it's not sold by the loaf. I see no reason for not selling a loaf of bread in a bakery. That was disappointing. Overall I was pleased though and will return. I do recommend even though there is some room for improvement.

I usually am very satisfied with my meals here. However, this is the 2nd time I’ve taken out on a friday night and I have been disappointed with the food both times. Not the same cook as during the week and it shows. The waitstaff had to ask me what went into a ceasar salad wrap and it came out with kale and no dressing.
I won’t be ordering on the weekends anymore.

so the staff were very friendly. It was not that busy on 9/21/24 around noon but it took 25 minutes to make 2 chicken sandwiches'. They were supposed to come with special dressing on the sandwich but the bread was dry and hard as a rock. The chicken was hard as a rock that plastic knifes hard a hard time cutting let alone chewing. the place was very clean.

Best chicken quesadilla I ever had.
Food was great! Next time I will get it to go … bathrooms were terrible and there were so many flies inside we had to cover our food between bites
I had a chicken salad wrap and the used canned chicken, so gross ?, a cafe should take time to make a real chicken salad using real chicken. There were flies all over the place and the girl behind the counter was swatting them above all the pastries…. Last time I will be eating there ….

If you’re looking for an excellent burger experience…I recommend the “Sully” (make it medium rare)! 1/2 pound burger, mushrooms, Swiss cheese, lettuce & tomato w/nice crispy fries…you can’t beat it. Super friendly service staff too.I had one a week ago and had to come back for more. Delicious…and cooked to perfection (just the way you like it).Next time you’re craving a good burger or sandwich, be sure to head to Emma’s!

I had the best experience at Emma Cleary’s this evening. The service was amazing, the woman working was very kind and sweet. The food was amazing, I ordered a cheeseburger and it was cooked to perfection! The chef who prepared it was very sweet as well. All I can say is if you want a good bite to eat go to Emma Cleary’s!

Let me start with the coffee. It is delicious. I give them that. But it's kinda down hill from there. It's a weekend, so I can't hold it against them, but I was pretty disappointed they ran out of corned beef hash. I got the sandwich with sliced corned beef instead. The corn beef is abut dry (maybe try and steam it on the grill to keep some moisture in). I do like the roll it's on though. I got 2 sides of home fries, one of which I asked for them to be crispy. Now I know a lot of places do this, but I absolutely do not agree with this; they throw them in the deep fryer to get them "crispy." Which then takes away any seasoning they would have had on them. They have absolutely no flavor, and they aren't crispy because they throw a lid on it as soon as they come out, which then makes them soft, essentially steaming the potatos. My other order (not cripsy) has seasoning on them. I do recommend that when someone orders crisp home fries, just take the time to keep them on the grill. Put a weight on them. Anyone who orders crisp knows it will take a bit longer. I don't want flavorless potato chunks. The pancakes flavor is good, but they are definitely over cooked. My last critique is that your cooks in the back should truly be wearing a hat of some sort or at least put it in a bun. Her hair was bouncing all over the place. Now, I haven't found any hair in my food, but it's truly a situation waiting to happen. Also, I understand working in a kitchen, I was a chef for 10+ years, but please please please, if you're going to eat while cooking, ensure customers can't see it. I saw her pop multiple home fries in her mouth. Again, I understand it's fast-paced. She probably has been cooking all morning and is very hungry. Just don't do it by the window you're sending food out in, and definitely don't do it over the grill. I'm going to end this review on a good note. The pastries looked absolutely delicious and gave the front counter a great aesthetic. The front counter girl was very friendly and did a great job, so kudos to her. I really, really hope you guys take my recommendation on the hat or bun thing for ur cooks though. Overall, I'll give Emma Cleary's a 2.6/5.
