"Aunt Emmy’s Cafe was the perfect place to grab coffee! The atmosphere was great and staff were super friendly. Plenty of seating indoors and plenty of street parking as well. Highly recommend if you’re looking for a great cup of coffee!"

"Cute little place. Stopped in with the wife and kid while in town to visit family. We were looking for some caffeine and boy was their coffee delicious! I got my usual Iced dirty chai but was very impressed with the flavor here compared to what I would get from somewhere like Scooters back home. Good spiciness. The wife snagged a mint chocolate frappe and imo this beat out any frappe I've had even ones costing double the price! Seems like a really great place to hangout. The staff seemed to know all their regulars by name and that is my kind of place to go! Will definitely visit again next time we are in town!"
