Crema's Take

Tucked inside a charming Watkinsville drugstore, Em's Kitchen fills the air with the aroma of freshly baked goods and home-cooked warmth that keeps families and friends coming back. The owners clearly care about fresh ingredients and thoughtful details—from generous gluten-free options to daily specials like their shrimp wraps—making it the kind of neighborhood spot where you feel genuinely welcomed the moment you walk in. Whether you're lingering over coffee on the outdoor patio or grabbing a made-to-order sandwich, this is comfort food done right.

This is a great family owned restaurant. Everything is made fresh. They have so many gluten-free options as well! My sister and I went there for lunch and shared a salad and chicken salad sandwich on GF bread. We also had the GF ooey gooey bar. Everything we ate had amazing flavor and was super yummy. The staff was also extremely friendly and very helpful, especially regarding our gluten allergy. Please go check them out. I can't wait to go back!

The ladies were nice. $10.25 for this though wasn’t really worth it. Especially when it came to the eggs. Very small portion🫤

Very impressed with Em’s Kitchen. I walked in and it smelled like freshly baked goods. The place was clean and the workers were friendly and welcoming. I had the egg salad sandwich and it was amazing. The egg salad was tasty and it was served on toasted marble rye. YUM.

Covid update. They are open for inside and outdoor dining. Masks are required until you’re seated. Employees all had masks on. I had the shrimp wrap special one Friday, and it was absolutely delicious. It had a very nice chipotle flavor. My husband, as always, got the Cuban, which he loves. I also, as always, got a bowl of the Brunswick stew with cornbread. My only regret is that I’m not again eating this meal right now. No changes to the parking, but there’s a big grocery store parking lot right next door. Still highly recommend. Have been here a few times. Very cute and intimate place for breakfast and lunch. I’ve had the over easy eggs, the Cuban sandwich, and the Brunswick stew. One of my favorite places in Athens to get Brunswick stew, actually. There is not a lot of seating, not very much parking, and it gets pretty packed at lunchtime, so I would advise against going during peak hours.
