You HAVE to go check out Emmett's cafe! It just opened on high street down near German Village and it's the cutest, most delicious neighborhood cafe! It's an Aussie style cafe which means they serve their menu all day long instead of closing at like 3 or 4. Their patio out back is adorable, with string lights and many heaters for colder days. The staff is all so accommodating and they were on top of everything we needed. I ordered the Schiller bowl, which was sweet potatoes and veggies and this amazing hollandaise sauce with poached eggs! My hubby ordered the meat + tato handheld and omg his was SO GOOD. I liked the Schiller bowl and felt healthy eating it but dang the chorizo and tater tot crunch in his The menu here is extensive and they have so many options - we wanted to try it all! We'll definitely be back. Welcome to the neighborhood, Emmett's!! read more

Small, cozy and fantastic atmosphere in the place. Eve and Avery are very accommodating hosts and work their tails off for the entire time that I saw them buzzing from the kitchen, to the coffee machine, the tables and the POS systems. I'd leave a picture of the food, but my s/o and I absolutely inhaled them lol. Great place with a front and a back patio, just make sure that if you want to go outside you make it known when you order. Glassware can't go outside :p If there was one of these in Broad Ripple I'd be there in a HEARTBEAT. I'd recommend this place to anyone who loves a good morning brew or a tasty morning meal. Props to the people in the kitchen as well. I'll be back, and I'd recommend you come too. read more

We had food catered from Emmett's to our office today for lunch and the food was great!!!

Emmett's catered our 50 person office meeting and lunch today. Food was fantastic and still very warm when delivered. Highly recommend!

So happy to see a new healthyish cafe open up in German Village! (unrelated comment: please god no more german or pub food - we have enough!!). My boo and I decided to give this a try for brunch last week and we were happy with the decision! The food quality was top notch and the prices are VERY reasonable - not something you can always say for GV cafes. And look how pretty it is (see picture below). Also bonus - thank you for using mostly eco-friendly products. I hate plastic. My only "meh" comment is about the chai tea. I was craving a really well-done fancy chai tea and it just didn't scratch the itch for me. All in all, worth a try. We'll be ordering take out again soon! read more

Great, little spot to stop on a Saturday morning. Everything was on point from customer service to specialty latte to breakfast burrito. Ten/ten would recommend and stop by again. read more

Small trendy & delicious brunch place! We got a variety of food and drink and sat out front with our pups! It was a lovely brunch spot, and they brought the food and drinks right out too us--we didn't have to wait inside for any of it. The food itself was delicious! We tried the breakfast burrito, a few different sandwiches, the tots, and a yogurt parfait! The coffee menu is smallish (few options but all done well). My only complaint about the food/drink is that it is a bit pricey for what you get. Serving sizes are small to moderate and although Columbus is a happening brunch place you will pay more here for what you get compared to some other similar brunch spots in the city. There are a few small tables for inside seating and a few more small tables outside. It seems most people come more for the takeaway option, but not sure if that is due to lack of seating or that it's actually preferred. read more

One of the best new restaurants I've tried in a long time! We enjoyed brunch on Emmett's large back patio space (with plenty of heaters next to each table). The menu was unique, fresh, and varied, and we ordered a salmon bowl, the Schiller bowl, chia rose parfait, and the kids egg & cheese quesadilla. Everything was delicious: both bowls were filling and flavorful but also felt healthy, and the parfait was sweet and light. We also ordered the ginger turmeric tea and breakfast shots-- both so good! Service was very friendly and everything was very safe and efficient re: Covid regulations. I truly can't wait to go back. read more

Waking up to a coffee shop within walking distance of your Airbnb is always a great start to your morning. We walked to Emmett's for a coffee to-go and weren't disappointed. The inside was small and a perfect place to catch up with a friend, grab a coffee and go, or just sit and relax. I got the "Smooth as Butta" latte and it was perfect! My only complaint is that they don't offer almond milk, oat and whole. Otherwise, service was great and the coffee was also great! read more

My first visit to Emmett's Cafe and I can't wait to return!!! So positive. All staff was friendly and helpful, very welcoming. Many things on the menu looked amazing. I went with The TK since I was there wanting brunch. The focaccia bread was so tasty and perfectly crispy, the mustard was a nice subtle touch to the egg and melty cheese. The lemony arugula was absolute perfection. I've never had pickled cucumber/zucchini on an egg sandwich so it was a unique first and I loved it! I highly recommend giving it a try. The sandwich is large and I opted to eat half and take half home. The Cold Brew is also amazing - no bitterness, nicely smooth and full of flavor. The lemon bar was good but I probably won't get it again, not as much rosemary in the shortbread as I had hoped and the curd was a very very thin layer. However, the cocoa-tahini crispy is where it's at!!!! Their back patio is quaint and quiet, and a nice addition considering the interior is very small. I could see it being challenging to sit down during their peak busy hours, but I imagine everything to-go would still be delicious! Parking on the street was also easier than anticipated as well, so overall this place is highly ranked for me and I hope others check it out too! I'll be back with my friends and when family is in town! read more

This is hands down, one of the best places to get a grab and go or sit down breakfast. The ingredients are so fresh and delicious, it's undeniable! When I really love is that there is something for everyone. The men in my family don't typically eat the "avocado toast" type of breakfast. But even they were able to find something here that they found delicious and filling. If it tells you anything, I will come here in the winter and sit outside in the snow, it's THAT good. read more

Ordering online was different, it's a new restaurant and the menu is a bit surprising (avo is avocado). Ordering ahead is wise as there is not a lot of space inside. Preorder and get whisked away to the luxurious patio with heaters to wait. They also offer curbside pickup, if close parking is found. I got the golden bar, chocolate-tahini, one handed, meat + Tati and finally the AB+J Toast. The toast was okay. The golden bar was a sweet treat. The stars were the sandwiches. The meat + Tati had perfectly cooked chorizo. Delicious pickled onions and a layer of greens. I wisely got the hot sauce on the side. The egg was a bit more runny than expected. The one handed was also a luxurious version of a morning English muffin. Not very photogenic, but oh so tasty. Again the egg was a tad runny. Looking forward to visiting again in the future. read more

SO SO SO GOOD! We went on a nice day so we ate on the back patio and it was such a vibe. This location is pretty small so it is hard to find a table during peak hours on the weekend. We went later in the day and found a spot easily! We got an oatmilk latte, salted Carmel cold brew (a seasonal flavor and it was magical), the handheld breakfast sandwich (which was cooked to perfect), tots (with everything but the bagel seasoning on it-- I mean COME ON) & the breakfast burrito. Everything was amazing and would strongly recommend the burrito. read more

Loved Emmett's both food and lattes were carefully attended to and delicious! Highly recommend.

My adult children picked up food for us to try today from Emmetts for the first time, and I frankly wish they had just gone to NorthStar or First Watch! At least the price would have made sense for the value! The food was all out of sorts - wilted greens, under done eggs and over done eggs, and to top it off, a meal for 4 people was well over 80$! 1 star because at least the order was correct..! read more

Love Emmett's! Food and drinks are both good. If you like Matcha and kombuchas I recommend their Matchabucha drink! There fruit is really good too, has some sweetness and orange zest added, a great side to any of the sandwiches read more

Love Emmett's cafe! I've been here several times and love the flavors. My go to is the one handed breakfast sandwich and iced oat milk latte. The one handed is a perfect breakfast sandwich on the go, but is elevated by the aioli sauce. The oat milk latte is one of the smoothest tasting coffees with a creamy and not overpowering oak milk. Sometimes I order ahead online, or other times I go inside and place my order to go. The inside is pretty small, I wish they had a bigger indoor space. They also have a nice sized outdoor space in the back and a few tables out front, but of course that's weather dependent. Parking is free on the street too. Alway a positive experience here though. read more

Nice location and space. Not a lot of seating inside but they have a nice outdoor patio in the back. You order at the counter and get a number and they'll bring the food out. If you order coffee you pick it up at the counter. I am rating a 2 strictly for having a nice patio and the coffee was good. The service and food is not great in my opinion. If they are experiencing long wait times I wish the host would have told us beforehand for how long the food would take because it took over an hour to get our food and we all got it at different times. We were sitting outside on the patio but got cold so we moved inside. I was the first to order and last to receive my food and the server didn't even bring it to the table she just left it at the counter. Even though I got the food as soon as it was ready my food was cold. Couldn't even get a hot breakfast sandwich that took over an hour to get and it wasn't even tasty. I barely ate half of it and ended up getting food elsewhere. I got the TK, someone else in my group got the breakfast burrito and they seemed to like it but didn't have enough salsa to go with. Another in my group got the lox but felt sick after the salmon was too salty. They also don't have a water station or area for silverware inside. I guess they keep them in a jar at the tables but the table we were sitting at was empty and didn't see any on the counter. Ended up going back out to the patio to get the packaged silverware there. This was my first time going and probably the last. I don't think the wait and food quality is worth the price. read more

Breakfast on their back patio! So good!! Food was fresh, tasty, and interesting. Patio is beautiful. There were three of us and we all had different breakfast items and coffee. We will definitely return!!! I think this is going to be one of our regular breakfast stops!! read more

First of all, Emmett's is such a cute place! I love the Emmett's sign inside. We went on the weekend around 1 and were able to get a spot outside. I got the breakfast burrito and my fiancé got the meat + tato. The breakfast burrito comes with egg, cheese, prosciutto, tots, avocado, and chipotle sauce. It was sooo good! My favorite part was the sauce and the crispy tots. I also got a drip coffee. To be honest, the coffee was not my favorite- very bitter. One downside of Emmett's is that it is a little pricy for what you get. My burrito was $11 and it did not come with any sides. Overall, I'm very happy with my experience here and I will be back! read more

Came for breakfast on a cold Sunday morning. At the moment, the weekends are take out only. No big deal but I can see this being a cute little dine in spot. The decor is minimalist...almost Scandinavian. Simple, I like it. We both had the breakfast burritos. I have to admit I was surprised by how small they were for the price. It was super delicious and really enjoyed it. I do feel it could be larger or come with a side for a $12 item where all the ingredients are smooshed together. Minus one star for portion size. That said, I will be back and will likely order the meat + tato next time. The tater tots were crispy but added inside the burrito. Definitely worth a second visit. read more

Been here three times and have not been disappointed and you won't be either! I'd highly recommend the handheld and the breakfast burrito. The patio is an oasis! Coffee drinks are reasonably priced and even their drip coffee is fantastic. Everything has a special touch. read more

Emmett's Cafe is one of a kind. The food is always consistent - tasty, fresh and healthy. And it's not over priced! I love sitting on the back patio, as it provides great ambiance. There's minimal seating indoors so during the colder days expect to take your meal out. This place is a gem in German Village! read more

We flew in from out of state this morning, and after doing some research on Yelp we thought Emmett's would be the perfect first stop. It was really slow in the restaurant when we arrived and we ordered two sandwiches and two coffees. After waiting 45 minutes we started to worry that they forgot about us. We were about to go back inside to say something when another employee noticed us and asked if we were still waiting on food. Not even 2 minutes later they brought us our sandwiches, which must have been sitting around for 30+ minutes because it was all ice cold and soggy/stale. Unfortunately our $40 meal was inedible. Cute ambience and staff was nice, but they seemed distracted. Great potential, but very disappointing first impression. read more

Fast, friendly service. The lady who takes orders, brings water and delivers food could not be more upbeat and friendly. I love her!!!! What a sweetheart! Her suggestions for food were amazing!

I stayed by a nearby hotel and wanted something a little different from the boring lobby breakfast. I just wanted a place with a good cup of coffee and a savory sandwich. This place hit on on everything. The service was great, and made the perfect recommendation for a breakfast sandwich. It was filling but didn't leave me with the greasy feeling breakfast usually has. read more

The quinoa bowl is supposed to have "Ohio corn" and "seasonal vegetables". It didn't have any corn and the one vegetable was a few cherry tomatoes sliced in half. I asked for corn and they didn't have any. The peach slices weren't ripe at all and barely had any flavor. Super disappointing for a $14 meal. I wish they'd bring back the falafel wrap. read more

Wow this sandwich was AMAZING! I didn't look too hard at the menu and just happened to go with that sandwich and what a great decision it was. It is usually paired with a side salad but I substituted tater tots instead. They have a wonderful patio in the back that we were able to enjoy our meal on. The bun was so soft and both sauces on both the sandwich and served with the tots was amazing. I would be back in a heartbeat! The service was also fantastic. read more

This lovely, trendy, small, modern cafe with the entrance located on High Street on the edge of The Brewery District and German Village was a delightful find on a chilly Autumn Sunday afternoon. There are only a few tables inside for staying which is a good use of the space so there is room to order at the counter and stand aside to wait for to-go orders. While there are a couple of bistro tables out front of the cafe, the outdoor seating thru the back of the building is a quieter space from the street noise. Currently, even when staying to eat, the staff deliver your food order packed to-go/contactless to your first-come available table. This is my kind of food. Fresh. Healthy. Quality. Tasty. I ordered The Lox sandwich. All the ingredients were of the finest quality. Their take besides the foundational smoked salmon and cream cheese included a perfect slice of a pickled beet and perfect layer of egg, arugula, and red onion between two thick soft slices of focaccia bread. My friend ordered the Chorizo Bowl (quinoa, poached egg, roasted mushroom, tomato confit, avocado, pickled red onion, goat cheese, chipotle aioli). Amazing. I am so grateful we stumbled upon this gem wandering around German Village while exploring Columbus, Ohio. read more

Husband and I stopped by Emmett's on a Saturday morning. The cafe was bright and welcoming inside. Staff was knowledgeable and polite. We ordered the breakfast burrito and Avocado Toast; both were incredible. Hubby enjoyed the spice in his burrito and the fresh made salsa.

The outdoor patio was lovely in the morning. read more

3rd or 4th time back - and still wanting more. Had the emmything which was excellent. Rare morning where I was able to hop over for breakfast and worth every second. Love the to-go containers and how awesome the staff was with patience while I deliberated like a hung jury and how awesome they were with packing the sandwich to survive my drive home through the bricks or German Village and the eager dogs hounding me to get a loose tot. People were hanging out and enjoying conversation and breakfast - gotta sit down again especially in the back patio when the weather finally breaks again read more

Love to start the day with breakfast at Emmett's! Such a gem in german village. I'm an early bird so I was up and wanted to find a place to have breakfast, read the paper and relax. This was the place. This little cafe is kinda cute place with minimal decor. They are open from 8am to 2pm every day. Moreover, they have quite lovely patio behind. I used to try Aussie Capp, Avocado toast and Chia rose parfait there. Enjoyed every sip and bite. Service was prompt and friendly. Definitely be back on weekend morning! read more
