„A beau­tiful, modern, and cozy atmosphere—both inside and out. Break­fast was deli­cious, the service was atten­ti­ve and fri­end­ly, and the value for the price was good. I’d love to come back and recom­mend this café to others. “

„We visited the new Café Emilie for the first time today and are abso­lut­e­ly thril­led! The décor is stylish and cozy—you feel right at home. The menu is incre­di­bly varied and put tog­e­ther with a lot of care. We were espe­ci­al­ly pleased with the wide sel­ec­tion of drinks, such as the lemo­na­de. The break­fast was also super deli­cious. We’ll defi­ni­te­ly be back! “

The service was excellent—friendly and atten­ti­ve. The prices were really good, and the food was deli­cious, too. We’ll defi­ni­te­ly be back 🙂 “

More Than Just a Café – A Piece of Family History

Café Emilie was created from our farm’s former roofed shelter—where people once sought shelter from the rain, you’ll now find modern indul­gence.

Now in our fourth gene­ra­ti­on, we’re car­ry­ing on our grand­par­ents’ vision and turning the Engel­horn grounds into a place where ever­yo­ne simply feels welcome.
