    The breakfast Steak quesadilla was delicious! Lots of flavor in the steak. Came with a side of sour cream, guacamole and salsa. The kicked up hash came with two eggs, corn beef hash and sausage. Extremely flavorful. Blueberry Lemonade was to die for. The antioxidant smoothie wasn’t bad. Very clean. Atmosphere was laid back. Good vibes. Bathroom was very clean. Definitely recommend you give them a try.

    Absolutely wonderful experience! Stopped in for a quick breakfast to-go while passing through town and absolutely enjoyed it. I got the Corned Beef Hash breakfast which was the perfect balance of salty and savory. The portion was massive and everything was made in-house. I can't say enough good things about the kindness of the employees, the atmosphere, and food quality. We definitely will be back!

    Great local establishment with fresh food and innovative menu. I love the flexibility of sitting outdoors and indoors. Just order at counter, they give you a number and you take a seat and server will bring your food to your table. Very efficient.

    On Saturdays, Sterling hosts a market in the middle of town and Emma's is just across the street. We went over and hour prior to close and I was pleasantly surprised by how they surpassed all my expectations: good price, good eating area, ease and efficiency of ordering, polite service, quality of food, and portion control. First the price. Two meals were $20. I expect to pay double that just about where I go and often will skip eating out just because of how unaffordable it is. There's inside and outside eating areas. I was really impressed with how well decorated the interior is. I'm a sucker for the patio lights. I wish outside was available..it had rained recently and we didn't bring a towel. It'd be nice if an employee could've wiped down all the chairs and tables. Ordering is fast and friendly. They give you a number and they come find you. Everyone is very nice and smiles. The food .. I hate ordering eggs anywhere because they're frequently overcooked. There wasn't a burned egg on the plate. The bacon was cooked perfectly too..see the picture for proper bacon stiffness. Best of all, the potion was just right I dislike so much to go to a restaurant and see an overwhelming plate of food and then force myself to finish it because I paid for it. People will load you up on potatoes. My plate was manageable and satisfactory. For all the reasons, we can expect to be somewhat regular here.

    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!

    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.
