    Great place to ride for breakfast
    Louis-Charles C.

    What a great little place. Stopped in here on our bicycle ride on July 4th..Gorgeous seating outside. Order at the counter inside and they are quick to bring your food out to your table. They are attentive and pleasant. Ordered a sausage, cheese and tomato omelette and a scone on the side. Hit the spot and fueled me for the next 38 miles of our ride

    6 dollar breakfast sandwich with 1 piece of bacon ripped in half not even covering half the sandwich.

    Is there anywhere around anymore that has honest good value for their food? 6 dollars for this and I got 1 piece of bacon ripped in half. Absolutely ridiculous. Such a rip off. Can't even get two full pieces of bacon on a breakfast sandwich. You should be ashamed at the way you're stealing people's money.

    Bacon, Egg and Cheese Sandwich

    Stopped by quickly after doing a goat hike at Maplewood Farmstead. Emma's Cafe has limited parking and there's a ton of street parking. You order at the counter and receive a number for the staff to drop off the food at your table. The staff is super friendly and service is quick. Everything on the menu is affordable. I got the bacon, egg and cheese on an everything bagel and it delicious, a better buy than Dunkin. Would definitely stop by and eat-in next time I'm in the area.

    Delightful salad to-go

    Place is the best. I order from here almost every day. New to the area. They are super friendly, efficient and use lots of fresh ingredients. You can order online and they have a drive-through window for your pickup order which is super helpful if you're on the run with your kids or on a lunch break. Recommend if you're in the area.

    Breakfast Sandwich on bagel
    Emma T.

    I went here because my name is Emma and I wasn't disappointed! Reasonable prices for good breakfast food. The place was very clean too!

    Chicken Pesto Chicken Panini

    First time there today. Food was delicious. Quick friendly service and good prices. Was able to sit outside and enjoy the beautiful day. Highly recommend. Had the adult grilled cheese sandwich and the chicken pesto panini. Came with side of pasta salad and a pickle. Well worth the visit.

    Small coffee is big!

    We love Emma's! Especially the coffee, chaider, smoothies and meatloaf panini. The owners and staff are fantastic human beings, to boot.

    Great, but busy, cafe. New, clean, efficient, good staff. Food is very good. This is a nice gem in a small town. I would go back.

    A few of us checked out the Night Lights at the New England Botanic Garden at Tower Hill and we…read morewere glad there was a place to stop in and grab something to eat and drink. When we passed by Farmer and the Fork, we were immediately struck and embraced with an inviting and intense aroma of cider doughnuts wafting through the air. We made it a point to return afterwards and we did, there was no disappointment. About the circular size of a standard mug, the cider doughnuts were freshly made, warm and had great texture and slight chew. And so we had to order another half dozen. Just that good. Although we don't typically seek out grilled cheese, we noticed on their menu a selection with braised short ribs. Our decision was made and it was the right one. Sinking your teeth into the buttered crisp toast, into the cheese and finding the short ribs before biting through and pulling away with everything and chewing, delighted us very much. They also had apple cider and hot chocolate which could be have an addition of spirits for an extra cost. My friend got the apple cider with Captain Morgan's and I ordered the hot chocolate with Kalua. Come here definitely for the warm cider doughnuts and you won't regret it - you might just order another half dozen or two!

    The set up is cafe, pay cashier and get a text when ready. The line was all over the place, not…read morestraight, some people waiting parallel to the food area. When I got the text -went inside at the counter for pick up, the woman was not helpful. ( Rudely told me to find my tray by using my paper receipt. ) The drink bar was disorganized, a long line. The teen-ages in front took the lemonade, stopped and drank half a cup then refilled, their cup right there, thus holding up the long line. There was separate ice but the kids tipped the lemonade so plastic ice holder was slanted inside the holder. I noticed the drip bowl was overflowing and lemonade was spilled all over the counter. I proceeded outside to eat at the tables and chairs, but all 10 tables were full (some with just 2 people and 6 chairs. ) So I crossed to the other side with open 10 tables - two young girls told me to leave. A private party inside had 1/2 hour left. Yet, I noticed that not anyone was outside at all. They said the 10 blue umbrella space was paid for , even if not being used - so leave. The cafe could have used that lovely new blue umbrellas 10 extra outside seating area, (as cafe was extremely busy and weather was splendid. ) I retreated back to the cafe outside area, and stood up to eat. I noticed the concrete was broken, sticks everywhere and the umbrellas on this side were not secured well , thus blowing in the breeze. The nice private other side of the deck remained unoccupied with the extra -10 blue umbrellas at the tables closed off for the rest of the afternoon. Still closed and totally unoccupied even after the time was up. (The private party apparently choice to remain inside. ) Meanwhile, cafe side remained crowded. Food was expensive $16 for a salad. $4.25 for lavender lemonade. Not the Best experience. The view was lovely.
