Emmett's Cafe

You pay for what you get! I thought it was priced accurately for the quality of food, and ambiance. It might be high for Ohio, but this is what I am used to paying when eating out. I was so happy to find this place. My poached eggs were cooked perfectly. For the people complaining about paying $15 for a breakfast burrito with avocado - that’s about a dollar more than a burrito bowl at chipotle. Get over it! I love supporting local businesses. I will be back next time I’m in Columbus! YUM!

Let me start by saying this is a weird review for Emmett’s because their stuff is just too expensive, but I do have to give credit where due and admit that it IS good. Between my girlfriend and I, it was 40 bucks for a breakfast burrito, some salad thing she got, a latte and a single espresso shot. I don’t care how good it is, that’s just too much for such basic stuff. I’m not sure what the latte she got was, but I tried it and it was also good and had a pretty presentation. I got an espresso shot that was 3 dollars, pretty normal, and they asked if I just wanted to plain with no creams or anything and I said yes cause I prefer my espresso with just a little sugar. No problem at all. But when they rung it up, it added an extra dollar line item under it called “no feature”. I very politely asked the person at the register if he knew what that was and he admitted he didn’t. No one was mean or rude or anything and at the end of the day, it was 1 whole dollar. So I said “well if I’m going to pay an extra buck can I just get a shot of mocha syrup in it or something?” And they happily obliged. Everyone was polite from their end and mine. But I didn’t end up getting anything but a plain espresso shot, nothing in it. Which again, whatever. It’s 1 extra whole dollar. And to be honest, I’d bet that this is just some weird mess up in their point of sales system or maybe the employee pressed a button by mistake. So I’m not mad per say, but it should be addressed cause in a world where consumers are already extra price sensitive because of inflation and because a lot of places are adding “service fees” of 3-5%, it just doesn’t sit well. I’ve seen the owner of Emmett’s reply to some reviews so I hope they see it just so they can be aware and correct it. So overall, the food was delicious. The breakfast burrito I got WAS very good, but I mean 15 bucks? Too much. This is why it’s a weird and difficult review because everything was great there, but I feel like we were paying a premium for nothing which is a bummer cause this place is walking distance from my girlfriends place and I really did enjoy going, but the price is going to prevent us from going again. I’ve seen the owner comment about being more sustainable, higher quality ingredients, better pay for the staff, and I genuinely hope all of that is true because again, the experience was great and the employees were great. It just doesn’t sit well as a consumer to pay higher prices for pretty common to find items. I think avocado toast was 12 bucks if I remember. Come on. I buy avocados all the time, I love em. They’re nowhere NEAR expensive enough to justify that price. So overall, it IS a great place, the difference only ends up being a couple bucks realistically, but it’s that couple bucks that from a consumer standpoint makes it a tough sell to come back. I understand prices of everything has gone up. It’s a very difficult balance to find, and I do appreciate that I didn’t feel anything I got was subpar. Just some food for thought!

What a gem!!!! Stopped in and had the breakfast Burrito and the Lox; WOW!!!! The food is incredibly good!!! Staff was super friendly. This is a quaint spot with NOT average food that you do not want to miss if your are visiting or a local who hasn’t yet visited. It isn’t cheap…. So if that is what you’re looking for, this might not be your spot BUT I’d beg to say ‘ you get what you pay for!’ and We will be back!

TLDR; charming cafe with nice sized breakfast options, great coffee and nice outdoor seating area. Lovely cafe! Love that they have hot breakfast here that is quick and delicious as well as inventive latte flavors. The atmosphere is relaxing and charming - we sat in the back patio and listened to the birds. Smooth as Butta Latte - served a bit too hot but really good! Love that it wasn’t overly sweet. S High Chai - perfect temp and texture, lightly sweet and great amount of subtle spice Burrito - 10/10 get it One Handed - basically a McMuffin with prosciutto and rosemary aioli. The aioli MAKES this killer 8/10

Cute little cafe with a full menu. There are only a few tables inside, but food is delicious. Lots of coffee and tea options. I got a flat white which was really good and had some nice latte art on top. The breakfast burrito is delicious, they put tater tots inside with eggs and avocado. There is prosciutto as well, but I took it out to make it vegetarian. Recommend getting the green sauce on the side as well. The group I was with also shared the banana bread, which came with about eight small pieces with a dollop of creamy, flavored butter and sliced bananas that have been slightly caramelized. Prices are high but justified as you’ll leave satiated and smiling.
