Crema's Take

Cafe Emina is a one-woman operation that feels like stepping into someone's home kitchen, where the owner's genuine warmth and hospitality make every visit special. You'll find hearty, homemade Bosnian fare like goulash with fresh rolls alongside strong, generously-poured coffee at prices that feel almost too good to be true. It's the kind of place where they'll hand you complimentary soup and bread while your order is being made fresh, turning a wait into part of the experience rather than an inconvenience.

Stumbled upon this place by pure chance and loved it. Very welcoming. Seems like a one woman crew. We had to wait on some items to be made fresh, which we were given soup and bread during the time. Generous portion sizes and for sure comfort food. The bread was really good. This place was definitely quiet and peaceful and didn't feel rushed. Glad we found this hidden gem today. I would recommend if you have some time to try something new with a friend or two.

Called in advance to see if they can accommodate a large order and was told yes. Ordered through doordash with a later pickup time for 12pm. Order pickup time was then changed to 12:10pm by the business. We got there and waited another 50 minutes for our order. Our order wasn’t ready till 1pm! It seemed to be ran by one lady, with way too small of a kitchen to serve large orders. Cevapi was extremely tiny in some boxes, but pitas were good

Wonderful place to be, amazing food, unbeatable prices! Coffee is strong and you get so much for the money! The woman who helped us was very welcoming and it felt like you were at home with family! I can't recommend coming here highly enough. Don't miss out!

I had a wonderful experience here today. The food was absolutely delicious — rich, hearty flavors that felt homemade. I ordered the goulash with fresh rolls, which was deeply satisfying, and the Bosnian coffee was a highlight. It’s not just a drink — it’s a ritual. I learned about a beautiful Bosnian tradition where you take a sugar cube and either hold it on your tongue or nibble it between sips of coffee, rather than mixing the sugar into the cup. It creates this amazing balance between the bitterness of the coffee and the slow sweetness of the sugar — such a thoughtful & elegant experience. The atmosphere was warm, welcoming, and full of charm. I took some pictures and will definitely be sharing more. Highly recommended to anyone wanting an authentic taste of Bosnia with heartfelt hospitality!

Lots to say here. The food and service are great. The lady who owns this place is top shelf in hospitality and friendliness. Bosnian food and coffee were delightful. The restaurant itself is quaint with no frills, and the only negative to the atmosphere is that the area is a bit rough. However, the shopping center has security and the restaurant is clean well cared for.
