Reviews
"Emma’s Torch is all times favorite. Originally I chose them because it’s a non profit providing education for refugees but as a restaurant they are really good at cooking. Avocado toast or salmon tartine, baked goods, pancakes and grab and go items – everything is delicious. Most of the times cooks bring the food and the warmth, the smile and the excitement on their faces are truly a highlight of a visit. The only thing is that recently they started using only disposable dishes and cutlery even for to stay orders. Though biodegradable still there is nothing better for the planet like actual dishes and of course the feeling of eating from a paper dish is different. I hope this can be changed. Best of luck, favorite cafe in Carrol Gardens."
"Quiet little café with fantastic seating options and an amazing mission. Almost invisible on Smith Street. Excellent coffee and fresh baked goods. Please stop by."
"Came here for brunch on a Sunday, no wait and fast service! Order at the counter and find a table, there was plenty of seating in the cute outdoor courtyard. A nice vibe and attentive staff. They don’t accept tips as they are a nonprofit, so coming here is a great way to support their mission. The food is excellent, and one of the top restaurants in the neighborhood. I had the French toast that comes with a sweet blackberry compote so you don’t need syrup. And I tried the red pepper feta and egg sandwich which had a nice flavor. There are healthy options for vegetarians, and I can’t wait to try more dishes!"
"For the first time I was visiting Carroll Gardens and Cobble Hill so I was very happy to find a restaurant that serves breakfast until 3pm. This restaurant was so charming and cozy! I came to the register and ordered from the menu and I got to choose my table and they brought my food to me. I ordered an Iced homemade Chai Latte. It was very delicious! It was ready in a minute the moment I sat down. Then I ordered the Sausage, Egg, and Cheese on a homemade biscuit. To say it was amazing is an understatement. It was delightful to have a homemade breakfast sandwich. The staff is very friendly. This restaurant has so many offerings that I know I will be coming back in the future to try them out. This was a charming restaurant. I highly recommend it."
