Just ate there this past weekend for Easter Brunch buffet. Sadly, it was a disappointment for my party. The french toast was soggy. The pizza was cold and not properly maintained under adequate heat lamps. The quality of chicken in the chicken and biscuits was poor with many pieces being tough in texture. The mac and cheese wasn't very good and had soggy texture. The breakfast potatoes were depleted and not replaced, even when we went back and checked twice. So too was the salmon not replaced - by the time I got to the salmon station, the board was empty. Even ancillary items were a disappointment - the drinking water was room temperature and without ice; there was no salt and pepper available; and my lime ricky drink lacked the simple syrup it was supposed to have so it was just bitter seltzer and tart lime. And to top it off, there was a mandatory 'event fee' of 22 percent of the bill which had not been disclosed when I made the reservation. So the event was self-serve buffet style, but we still had a mandatory 22 percent tip. The bill total was high at about 260 for three people for a very unsatisfying meal.

Server was chill but professional and had a couple really good recommendations, I think his name was Quinn. I got the artichoke dip and bison burger and my girl got the Cuban, It was ridiculous. I’ll definitely be goin back.

Tried the new Emigration breakfast sandwich that has sausage and jelly. Very solid, if a bit messy, and plenty of food! Breakfast potatoes were fantastic and crispy. Probably the best drip/refillable coffee I've had, tasted like some of the single origin light roasts I brew at home. Great service and appreciated the bike parking by the coffee shop entrance.Parking: 4 bike parking spots by the coffee shop entrance

The food was incredibly bland, except for the desserts, which were actively repulsive. Nice server, though.

My mom and I came here a few weeks ago and the service was amazing! The soup of the day was a black lentil and eggplant soup that I am still dreaming about! Our server, Kiriko, was so wonderful and was very thorough about my mother’s allergies. Highly recommend!

My friend and I had a hard time choosing what to get because everything looked so delicious. We got the brioche french toast and the grilled cheese to share. The grilled cheese was so good and it came with these breakfast potatoes that are probably some of the best I've ever had. The french toast was also really yummy, it came with a really good lemon curd.Our server Kiriko was super kind and helpful! Overall the experience was great and so was the food. Would definitely recommend!

So good I came back the next day with another party Between all of us we had: artichoke dip (some of the best I've ever had), lemon rice soup, house salad, baby kale salad, sopresetta pizza, and cauliflower carbonara. Every dish was absolutely excellent! Soup and salad came with grilled bread that was shockingly delicious for a slice of grilled bread. Artichoke dip came with strips of pizza dough type bread... Also delicious. Booths are comfy, atmosphere is casual, service was good. Parking is limited.

Great atmosphere and service, multiple intimate nooks and crannies to sit, good coffee and music. Menu was so broad it was hard to choose what to get, in a good way. Best breakfast I've had in SLC.

Looks like a great place for me and my son to Stop. We were sat by the hostess. And then waited for 10 minutes, where no one would even look at us. then other customers walked in, were sat, and then helped, so I left. I’ve worked in the service industry for a while you can always walk over and let a table know that I’ll just be a minute but when they wait around and watch other people get helped you don’t feel like eating there

Quinn C. was the absolute best. Made us feel so so special and took care of our every need. He went above and beyond and treated us like we have known him for a very long time. We will definitely be making this a go to spot thanks to him.

Great place for brunch and really any time of day. They don't seem to index on Yelp. What people don't realize is that Yelp is a huge scam in general and shouldn't be taken too seriously. See Billion Dollar Bully documentary and Fu@k Yelp. The end!

Had the best lunch at Emigration Cafe this afternoon. Quinn C was our server and did an amazing job of making sure we were taken care of. Will definitely go back!

Just experienced horrible service. They close at 9, we walked in at about 7:45, which I think is still reasonable. No one came to wait us and we ended up leaving to eat at nomad east next door (I’d recommend eating there instead LOL)
