Quite surprised this place doesn’t have perfect ratings; quick service, delicious food and great coffee. Considering it gets quite busy during peak hours, I still had a great experience despite the pressure. Will be going again

The food is mouthwatering and the staff is impeccable friendly. My mocca always taste better after a quick chat with the girls during ordering. Emporium is your go-to spot for a dose of caffeine and good times.
