While Em's has a friendly staff, delicious lunch food (especially the B.L.A.S.T. sandwich), and a cozy interior its cupcakes are mediocre. ”
- “
If the staff were less amateur, this really would be a great place, (although the ambience could be better, too). ”
- “
Great food, very unique and eclectic atmosphere ”
- “
Great seasonal food and relaxed neighborhood atmosphere-I love being at this place! ”
- “
The parking was horrible and the place was smaller than my bedroom, people were so crowded together you could hardly move and the door always stayed open so flies were buzzing around. ”
- “
If you even think of going here, I suggest you continue on down the 134 FWY, just a few minutes more, and enjoy the great and reasonably priced restaurants in Pasadena (where there is always parking available). ”

good food/ amateur staff and ambience ”

My favorite is still the chocolate. ”

got the small red velvet cupcake and the icing was good but the cake portion was dry and no flavor. ”

The cake itself though, was very dry. ”

we thought the cupcakes would be the redeeming factor, but the carrot cake was full of chewy nastiness, and we haven't gotten the courage to try the red velvet one we brought home. ”

recently had a slice of the fresh coffee cake and it was outrageous. ”

Also terrific breakfasts and desserts (especially cupcakes). ”

Good food is important but NOT worth putting up with poor customer service, whether you're throwing a big event or going out for brunch on a Sunday. ”

pick up my dinners here a couple of times a week---homemade chicken pot pies and lamb shepards pies are incredible, as are their soups. ”

Great food, very unique and eclectic atmosphere ”

But more importantly, the food is amazing. ”

ALL the food is fresh. ”

Many of the staff have been replaced with cold, non-friendly "cheffy" types, many now wearing pressed white "chef" jackets with matching decorum. ”

The staff were incredibly friendly - watching everyone pitch in to help out with the red velvet cupcakes was a sight to behold! ”

For the same price as the elite gourmet sprinkled cupcakes you will get a big fat cupcake that will fill you up faster than you can say. ”
- “
Though the cupcakes are huge (around $3.50 a pop), they are usually awfully dry, and topped with too much frosting. ”
- “
There was a big line, with not much space, but it was definitely worth it. ”
