Crema's Take
“Emma's Bagel Cafe is a solid neighborhood spot known for generous, well-executed sandwiches (the tuna melt and lox omelette are standouts) and fluffy pancakes that keep families coming back. The space is clean and spacious with decent seating, though service can be sluggish during busy times. It's a reliable choice if you're in Skokie and want hearty breakfast fare, but don't expect anything that will blow your mind—this is comfort food done competently, not innovatively.”
What to expect
Classic coffee drinks done right. A slow-sit spot, good for meetings. Full breakfast, pastries, and light food on the menu. Family friendly.

My family and I love this place. There are so many delicious dishes to choose from. It is a favorite of my kids’ to go to when they want to go someplace special to eat. The weight is never too long for your food and the staff works hard.
This was close to a site visit and was suggested to the group. We ended up walking to the location. There is plenty of seating indoor and some limited outdoor seating. You place your order and pay, then they bring the food to your table. They had a very wide selection of food…
Nice cafe, looks clean. Has a large menu selection. They make a great tuna melt, I personally like it open in 2 that ads a few more dollars, but you get double the tuna and cheese. I don't recommend their israeli salad it's bland and not tasty, so always ask for the chips. Price…
I've picked up orders here several times because my daughter likes chocolate chip pancakes, and Emma's is just around the corner, but I honestly hate coming here. This review is based on today's order, but the overall experience has been exactly the same every time I've been…
