Great Dinners!. I went here for a Friday night dinner and I thought it was great! Perfect portion sizes and better quality food than I expected from a "cafe". I had one of the best burgers I've tried in Montreal (Avocado, smoked cheddar, bacon), and they had a great smoked salmon salad.
Prices were good, and 2 for 1 coupons exist if you look for them!

Will come back, but.... A lot of friends have recommended this place for brunch, so last weekend, when I realized that Cafe Della Posta (RIP :( ) was closed, we went to Cafe Em.
I ordered the Monte Cristo sandwich with breakfast potatoes and a coffee. I'm not finnicky with coffee when I'm not at an establishment that doesnt specialize in coffee, so , whatever.
The Sandwich came out, and looked great. Two pieces of french toast with ham and cheese (i believe gruyere) slapped inside, and a small side bowl full of maple syrup on the side got me excited. The potatoes on the side looked just as appetizing.
The downside was that my entire dish was cold. My friend had ordered the breakfast wrap, which was piping hot, and delicious. I'm not sure exactly how a Monte Cristo is *supposed* to be cooked, but the inside part of my bread wasnt cooked, it was actually, very soggy, while the outer sides were cooked perfectly. Maybe this is how its supposed to be, so I'll leave that alone.
As I continued eating, and eventually dug into my breakfast potatoes, I realized the whole meal would be cold.
Based on the fact that my friends dish was great, I will give Cafe Em a second go. Otherwise, Atmosphere was great, serveuse was lovely, and everyone seemed pretty relaxed.
The breakfast here is decent. I had the burrito which was very filling. Good service too. I'll come back to try again for sure!
I go here often. The food is very good (I only go for breakfast), the espresso is okay (I've definitely had better), and the wait staff is terrific. It's comfortable and airy, and it's a great place to work on your computer.
Good food, nice ambiance. I like the relaxed atmosphere, the always good music, and the fact that they're happy to let you settle in and work for several hours. The food is great, and I was particularly impressed by the breakfast.
Dearest egg murder man ( see a view postings below. Have you ever actually been to em cafe.
water is the first thing brought to your table
along with a warm smile from genuine staff.
all eggs are dead on arrival. so your comment
makes little sense. and coffee is what they do
so its hard to imagine there was none at your table.
if you had a problem with your order that made you
upset they would have resolved the issue. a friendly
chill no fuss atmosphere is why they have so many loyal
customers. small great businesses are what make the mile end an enjoyable place. go rant about your mother in law. em cafe is a subtle gem of a place. with good fresh eats and great coffee.
Great place for brunch!. The food is good and of course if you go on a saturday or sunday the wait is a little longer but not too much! free internet and relax.
I love this place!. Food is good, internet fast and the owners arte very nice :)
Great spot for brunch or lunch with varied menu and service that goes above and beyond

What EM Cafe is, is a place where you can take a long, relaxing lunch. For my purposes, they delivered an above average burger.
