Emma's Cafe

Been to Emma’s a few times now and wow! Every visit has left my boyfriend and I in smiles! Shown in the photos below is the Kicked up Hash Bowl with Corn Beef and the From Emma’s Garden omelette! Both are so incredibly good that we’ve gotten the same order multiple times now. We’ve also got lunch here as well! The Tuna Melt with a side of potato salad (shown below) and a Reuben sandwich that was once a special, both phenomenal! The food is incredible and so are the delicious smoothies! We’ve gotten the Flu Shot, Carrot Apple & Orange, PB&J with B’s, and the Tropical Explosion! If the food, or the empty plates after the meal, hasn’t yet convinced you, let the comforting café vibe and positive staff convince you to try Emma’s! In my opinion, Emma’s is an amazing place and you definitely should go and try it!

This place is so good Can’t wait to go back. Shayne The chef was absolutely amazing. His food was delicious!!! You have to try this place. Everything was great breakfast soup and baked goods so good!!!!!

Cute little place. Some seating indoor and outdoor. The tree only shades so much outside though.
The staff is very friendly and attentive. They have several regulars and knew what they tended to order when they got to the front.

Got three things.

$5 Large Cold brew Peach Iced Tea. Cold, tasty, pretty darned good for a no added sugar drink.

$11 Stuffed French Toast. It's a cream cheese topping, and it's mostly if not all straight cream cheese, so it's not some crazy sweet sugar dish. Just a light dusting of powdered sugar that's mostly for looks. The bread is dense and eggy, the cream cheese soft and creamy, the strawberries are fresh and juicy. I would like either more strawberries or smaller chunks of them, I guess I'll just have to cut up my own strawberries, oh the horror. The two strips of bacon, are bacon, bacon is delicious - thin sliced, cooked right between crispy and chewy.

$8 The Hungry Man (replaced ham with sausage).
Egg, sausage, egg, cheese,bacon, egg, cheese, bacon.. that's literally what I'm looking at. Oh, and an English muffin too, though there are other bread options. You can tell those are fresh cracked from the shell eggs. It's real cheese too, I can almost taste the name of the cow who gave the milk to make this cheese. I would probably ask for another piece of meat in the future, unless you want the egg to really be the central flavor. Lightly toasted bun. Added some jam from their selection. Delish.

All in all a great eat for $25.

No stars off for this, and they do have two bathrooms, one of which must be larger since it's handicap accessible. But, I almost feel like a single bathroom might be preferable over making out with a strange wall as I potty, much less wipe. I sure hope they clean that wall at least daily. :\

They are new to the block but bring years of experience to the table. This cafe has great exposure across from the town green where Mary Sawyer's Lamb overlooks the old bank now transformed into a clearly in demand local hot spot. The food was made fresh to order and was ready very quickly. They have daily specials, smoothies, omelets, salads, sandwiches pastries, cold brew on tap coffee and more. There is ample seating indoors or outside. The parking is paved and while there are many spots, you can find more parking across the street. During the build out they were creative with the existing space and left over hardware from the retired bank, using the old safe deposit keys, boxes and even the vault door as decor.

My wife and I loved this place.
Her tomato soup and avocado toast was really good.
I ordered the chorizo hash, good and filling.

And delicious smoothies.
We’ll be back to try other dishes

Such great food and very nice staff! This was my first time coming and I will definitely be back for more. I had an iced pumpkin latte and breakfast burrito with avocado and chorizo and Pico de Gallo. Mwah!😋

I was very impressed by this place. I love it. The design of the space inside and out is tasteful, the people are nice, the menu is full of great things, and so it easily exceeds anything you might hope for. I can't imagine that there is a place to have breakfast or brunch anywhere around here that is nearly as good. I was happy to see that I could order a Cobb salad made with all natural ingredients, and happier still once I tasted it. Don't miss out on Emma's.

Young women at counter were pleasantly helpful. Their answer to every question was “yes.” Very positive attitudes and atmosphere. Food very good and ambiance nice well done.

Delicious homemade food for breakfast and lunch. A couch and a couple chairs with a coffee table area is still there with a TV but the toy table, etc for the kids was not there today. Still great food with many healthy options. Staff is very friendly.

Emma’s was a great experience. Would recommend! We ordered the pancakes which were big and fluffy. We also ordered the Emma’s garden omelette and blue plate special. Top to bottom phenomenal breakfast. We also got a couple homemade muffins that also were very good. The service was amazing, such nice people, very friendly. Need more places like Emma’s.

Ugh, amazing. I picked up some of the Italian wedding soup from Emma's for takeout through their drive-through window as I've been battling a minor cold, and man oh man, its the only thing that has been getting me through! It's healing! Italian wedding is one of my favorite soups, and I've had a lot from many different places, but Emma's really killed it! The flavor is wonderful. I am usually not one to even write reviews, but they deserve this one.
The lady that took my order was also very kind and appreciated.

Everything was very good, but here's a little tip: don't order your sandwich on the cinnamon raisin bread - it's smaller than the others, a little too small for a sandwich.

As delicious as it was pretty. The Bagel BLT, one of the anytime breakfast sandwiches at Emma's. They've got cold brew coffee and some of the best fresh-baked pastries around. (My favorites: lemon poppyseed muffin, blueberry scones and their corn muffins. Pro-move: ask them to heat the muffin on the hot grill!)

Had a great experience at Emma's yesterday. We have been there for breakfast, which was good, but wanted to try lunch. I had a meatball sub that was delicious. My wife had clam chowder that she raved about. Service is good. The people are friendly, and the prices are reasonable. What more can you ask, well, it's in the middle of Sterling, and that is a big plus, less than a mile from my home. Wherever you are coming from, it is worth the trip.
Hope to see you there.

Such a lovely lunch. A very pretty light cafe. Can’t wait to come and enjoy their outdoors seating. Love that it is family owned.

Early for a Passenger in Sterling Mass. Found Emma's Cafe downtown. Stopped in. Very quaint little restaurant. Food was Excellent and the Service was Great Also

I ordered tuna melt and it was a best tuna sandwich I had in a long time!! It was literally melting in my mouth with so much flavour!

Delicious every single time I've gone! The service is amazing. Everyone is so cheerful 😊

Great breakfast great staff very fair price and quick.

This place is a great friendly spot for an early business meeting or just with family and friends. Their menu is diet minded for a healthy lifestyle.
