Hidden gem in walkworth. Many gluten free options. Even gf sweet and savory muffins. We sat on deck overlooking the river. Large trees shade and also sun umbrellas friendly staff. Reasonable prices. $29 for a big breakfast. Coffee was smooth if a bit small. Ask for large. Lovely time, relaxed and low key.

For those confused, this used to be Cafe Q, but sold and now The Emmanuel's. Absolutely delicious. It's got one of the best thin fries, and best seafood chowder I've had. Chowder used to be only on Fridays, but now it's 3 days a week - I hope it's every day as it's worth it :) Oh and they have half portion for the chowder too.

A little gem of a cafe. Tucked away from the road, secluded open balcony by the river. Great food. Going there again.

Had the most wonderful experience today. Popped in on the off chance late this afternoon. Had the best food. Savory muffins were incredible. Sweet muffins banana and blueberry were also amazing. And my 17 month old absolutely loved his, which is saying a lot as he is super fussy at the moment. Drinks were also superb! Super fast and lovely service. Even though it was right before close time. Highly recommended. I will definitely be back for more muffins and to try other things on the menu.
