Kosher restaurant with delicious food! They have a pretty large menu with many choices. I always get the tuna melt on a onion bagel(which is really good).They have deserts and ☕️ coffee both very well worth it!Great little restaurant I highly recommend ?

Love the food. Staff is very friendly.Dietary restrictions: Kosher.
Emma's was incredible. Coming from Toronto where you can't get a kosher meal for under 30 bucks, we took a whole wedding party of 10 out for just over 100! Emma's made us look like the best I laws ever! ? (Food was freaking awesome too!) We will be back!

We come here every time we come to Chicago and that is a lot. We love it and won't stop coming. Tons of options, all really good. Good prices. I highly recommend if you like bagels, pancakes, waffles, shakshuka, smoothies, and sushi.

I am Jewish and keep Kosher only occasionally. Anyway we enjoyed a delicious breakfast and loved the hazelnut coffee. All in a casual ambience. Convenient location and it opens early.

Good food, but if you’re in a pinch for time don’t visit on lunch-rush-hour or you could be there a while. Great place to sit down, have a bite to eat, and meet up with friends & family.Dietary restrictions: Kosher / dairy.Parking: Park anywhere in the large lot. Can get crowded during rush hour.

It was ok at best but nothing great. Had a breakfast sandwich, ingredients were sparse and not cooked thoroughly
Both items I ordered were lacked in flavor, presentation and texture. The egg salad sandwich was basically just a mush of eggs and Mayo, no flavor not even salt or pepper. After trying to remedy the sandwich with pepper and salt there was no avail. Chips were soggy and barely crisp. The Penne pasta was completely over cooked, nothing but mushed noodles slathered in oil and bad “pesto”…. Overall the pics are after I tried to eat the meal and couldn’t. The server was very kind but when I spoke to the “management” I was met with aggression and conflict. ROMAN was very rude and didn’t help and the COOK also FALSELY ACCUSED me of coming to their restaurant multiple times and doing this (this was my first ever experience with Emmas Bagels) When I relayed this to the manager, I was not apologized to but told “well you hurt the cooks feelings since you don’t like the food”… I contacted ChowNow for a refund; they contacted Emmas “mAnAgMeNt” whom said they would refund me TOLD CHOW NOW THEY WOULD NOT REFUND ME; after TELLING ME THEY WOULD. .5/10 HORRIBLE MEAL.. NOT WORTH THE $25 PLEASE SAVE YOUR MONEY AND JUST GO TO LINCOLN CAFE.

Best fish and chips ever! Everything is good, homemade potato chips. Very busy at Sunday lunch, had to wait a bit for food but worth it.

Kosher deli that meets all expectations. Love the vibe-feels like a neighborhood place. Every time I stop there I wonder why I don't go more often.
