Emy J’s

Outside does not do the inside justice. Very cute and cozy. Really neat mosaic tables. Delicious food but portions not the type that fill u up for the day. Sooooooo cold in there today which honestly made it hard to enjoy everything. Would go back if in area.

I can’t believe that they WEIGH ice cream on a scale now. The portion got a lot smaller than before, I probably would not go back for their ice cream again.

One of my favorite places in Stevens Point. They use locally produced ingredients to create delicious menu items. My favorite choices are the Sante Fe Chicken Wrap or Bison King Wrap. The ice cream and smoothies are delicious as well! Definitely recommend giving it a try!

I’m not sure what the secret ingredients were in the Hocus Pocus Latte, but I appreciate the seasonal whimsy and creativity. A nice cozy place for coffee and conversation.

An option for a local restaurant.
Pros– Focuses on local business’ and has a nice coffee shop feel.
Cons– The staff is pretty snooty. A waitress cut me off in the parking lot, then flipped me the bird. Restaurant staff isn’t as bad, but the baristas are quite unfriendly and need to be trained properly. The entire cliché staff grows old after a few trips.
There are better «indie» joints around Point. If you want to support local, go to the Farmer’s Market: it’s incredible.

Nice little coffee spot for espresso enthusiasts. Although, I do have to say that I’ve been there 3 times and one of the times the latte was terrible. I’m no connoisseur, but I know a good latte. The other two times the latte was amazing and okay. I don’t know what’s so variable, but they just don’t seem to be consistent.

Unfortunately Emy J’s is one of the only places in town to get remotely healthy food, besides my own kitchen, which is where I wish I stayed every time I come here for food or coffee. Every dish, every drink, comes with an oversized side of attitude from the smug and outrageously rude employees. If you treat your customers like crap, they will likely never return.

I was hoping for a better experience here. The hype was nothing. I went in for ice cream. It felt cramped inside and the people sitting down looked uncomfortable. I would be too if across the table are a line of people waiting or order or bending over to look at the ice cream freezer.
After I got my ice cream, I left. There was no where to sit and it was too hot to be inside. The only thing I enjoyed was the ice cream: The Elvis — peanut butter, jelly, and banana. They don’t make their own ice cream, they serve The Chocolate Shoppe Ice Cream.

Cute little neighborhood café with great homemade soups. They also have great loose leaf tea options, and the vibe is very relaxing.

Amazing!!! Best vegetarian food around for miles. I had the beany bean, amazing mix of flavors. We took our small children and they where welcomed and they had a lot for them to choose from.

Coffee:
I appreciate what Emy J’s is trying to do, along with roasting their coffee in house. However, I just find the coffee to be lacking. Most of the coffee is over-​roasted and loses all its uniqueness and just tastes charcoaly. The baristas are adequate, but lack any real technical skill. I notice a lack of continuity between the different baristas. Some are capable of pulling decent shots and steaming milk, some have very bitter or sour shots, and scalded milk. Overall, it is still better than what you typically find in this area — it just needs a little push to get over the hump and into true specialty coffee.
Food:
I actually enjoy the sandwiches and wraps here. They are nothing super-​special, but they are reasonably priced and are a good mid-​day meal. The food does come out a little slow at times, but it’s never been too big of an issue.
Service/​Atmosphere:
I find this to be a comfortable place to sit and chat for a while. It’s simple and homely. The staff overrall is friendly and helpful.

Great place for organic and gluten free food options. Very good service, good portions and high quality food. Try the Tai Chicken wrap and the Bison burger!

Has been a year since we last in this area, but Emy J’s is still a fav stop for breakfast, coffee, lunch… loafing on internet. Just right. Thanks folks. Well done.

This rating is mostly for the coffee house aspect of the place, as I didn’t like the food in the café at all (I’m also not vegan, so I could see why the place would have more appeal in that aspect).
The coffee, however, is very good, and I like the décor and outdoor patio. I’d still choose Zest over Emy J’s because I think Zest has much better food, but I can certainly see the appeal of this place as well.

This is one of the few places you can get decent freshly roasted coffee north of Milwaukee in the state of Wisconsin. The staff is friendly and helpful, the layout and décor inviting, and the food and coffee well worth the visit. Emy J’s is a true asset to Stevens Point!

I always went for their smoothies, but they also do fair trade coffee. Nice local hangout.

My favorite place to be a vegan! Vegan syrups, vegan entrees and vegan desserts!

Absolutely love the food here. My friend’s and I visit maybe once a month, and it provides both vegan and non options. The burritos are great!
The atmosphere is usually relaxed– I would suggest going on an off time if you want more of the dining room to yourself. It gets quite busy around noon and such.
For the most part, the staff is friendly and helpful. I’ve had one or two snarky experiences, but nothing personal and nothing to persuade me not to continue dining here.

The place I work at ordered Emy J’s for us folks who were trying to eat more healthily, and I thoroughly enjoyed everything we had. The sweet potato fries were good. We also had 2 different soups – tomato herb and curry vegetable. Both were really good! The best thing I had from Emy’s was the gluten free chicken and black bean chiapa. Maybe a little overzealous with the large garlic chunks, but super good! I’m looking forward to coming here and trying out some of their other menu items.

We waited 6 minutes before being acknowledged at the counter to order food. It took 11 minutes to get our food. Oops. Wrong order as they missed the Gluten Free wrap. 24 minutes later, we had our Gluten Free wraps. I had the Sumatran and it was awful. Way too many onions! The Mango salsa was good, but way to much cilantro for my taste. My boyfriend had the Pesto Chicken Wrap. He said it was fair, but not enough stuff on the inside.
The food was ok, so I may return. However, the service was horrendous and that makes me not want to go back ever.
