I've had the pleasure of working with Emily's Cafe & Catering on several occasions for weddings in Princeton and they are hands down, the best. They're easy to work with, very accommodating, very friendly staff. I would highly recommend them again and again!

I want to begin by saying this is long overdue. My husband and I went with Emily’s Cafe and Catering for our intimate wedding at my parent’s house in September and everything was absolutely spectacular. Aside from photography and music, Emily’s was my ONLY vendor because they literally offered everything and it was so convenient: Food, bar, servers, and all rentals. Lauren was our event coordinator and I cannot say enough amazing things about her. She is professional, kind, responsive, and it was clear that making our day perfect was her priority. Lauren assisted us with the menu, all rentals (they coordinate with a tent vendor which was such a weight lifted off of us), tasting, alcohol selection. She was even present on my wedding day and was kind enough to communicate with my father who was anxious about hosting 65 people. The day of my wedding it rained and the staff went above and beyond for me. They wiped water off chairs so I could still get the ceremony I wanted, ran around lighting candles, filling water glasses. At the of the night, they cleaned up so quickly and efficiently, you would never know there had just been a wedding. I could write a whole essay on the chefs and the food. The chefs were extremely clean and respectful of my parent’s kitchen. They even packaged up the leftovers for us and left it in the refrigerator. We had numerous passed hors d’ourves ( mini quesadillas, mini pulled pork sandwiches, veg and vegan options, shrimp skewers) and chose a buffet style dinner of short ribs, lemon chicken, fall gnocchi, vegetables, 2 types of mashed potatoes, and a salad. I am still dreaming about my menu. My husband and I decided we would take an annual trip to Emily’s every September to relive our wedding night. I don’t even think this review does them justice because they are THAT AWESOME. Thank you everyone from the bottom of our hearts. We love you Emily’s!!!

I called Emily’s cafe and catering only a month out when the number of people who were RSVP-ing for my daughter’s engagement party began to quickly surpass what I had expected. I spoke with Lauren, the catering manager, and thankfully (probably because it was February in the dead of winter), they had the day available which immediately put my mind at ease. Working with Lauren was incredibly easy. She not only chose the completely Gluten Free menu for me (including passed hors d’oeuvres, buffet dinner and dessert), she also arranged for a heated tent to be connected to my house for additional space, all the rentals needed (tables, chairs, linens, flatware, china, glassware, etc) as well as made arrangements with ShopRite liquors to deliver the bar beverages on the morning of. I literally didn’t have to do anything other than make small flower bouquets for the tables and decorate. For reference, the party was for approximately 65 people in my home. On the day of the party, Emily’s crew of 5 (3 servers including Lauren, chef and bartender) arrived right on time. It would be an understatement to say they worked together like a “well oiled machine”. Chef Robert quickly got acquainted with my kitchen and went right to work with food prep, Justin set up the bar in the tent, and Lauren, Jill and Jack began setting up what they needed for the buffet and dessert tables. They began walking around with the hors d’oeuvres as soon as the first guests arrived and about an hour later, just before dinner was to be served, Lauren gave me the nod that it would be a good time for the “toast”. The food was outstanding! It’s hard to say which passed hors d’oeuvre was the favorite as they were all delicious - 4 types of skewers (Flank Steak, baby lamb chop, marinated chicken and sweet chili shrimp) as well as endives with dates and goat cheese. The buffet dinner was just as good and no one left hungry as they had a choice of chicken marsala, rosemary salmon, roasted veggies, roasted garlic mashed potatoes, risotto cakes and candied pecan salad. I appreciated that Lauren and chef Robert reached out to me 2 days before the party to confirm that the entire menu was GF, including the mini red velvet cupcakes for dessert. I would highly recommend Emily’s without hesitation to anyone looking for a caterer. They have a large menu of food choices to select from (including GF), are professional with lots of connections, patient, friendly, easy to work with and the food is exceptional. After the night was over, they cleaned up so well that one could barely tell there had been a party. I even found the left over food packed nicely in my refrigerator which my family appreciated and enjoyed the next day. Thank you to the staff of Emily’s who catered my event. You helped make my daughter’s and her fiance’s engagement party perfect! I couldn’t have been happier at the end of the night and I am still getting compliments from people who attended the party!

Emily's has been my go to place for catering business lunches for the last 10 years. Their presentations are lovely and tastes even better than it looks. They consistently serve high quality food that will please the most discerning palate. They will not disappoint! Their cafe and catering staff are friendly, knowledgeable and a joy to work with.

Emily's catered a wedding for my clients at the Mountain Lakes House in Princeton. The staff was so attentive, detailed, and helpful. The food was delicious. With Beth's help, everything we had planned worked out perfectly for our clients. Can't wait to work with Emily's again. Highly recommend.

Emily’s is my GO TO. I found this cafe while working down the street, it was a blessing and curse that it was so close because I’d make money just to go and spend it!! The eggplant panini is just SMH DELICIOUS. And Tony it’s like God himself delivered this man! Where did they find him??? He keeps the cafe running smoothly, in order and clean, he’s so personable. Seriously, everybody needs a Tony in their life and everybody needs to try Emily’s at least once! Love it here.

Love this place so much. The owner is super friendly, the place is clean and delicious, the music is always soothing and the decor is simple and inviting. Always always recommended, have had multiple things and they’ve catered events I’ve been to. Amazing food

I am so incredibly happy I found Emily’s Cafe and Catering for my wedding reception at Unionville Vineyards. Beth and her team were incredible from start to finish. Planning a wedding is never easy, but I am so grateful to Beth for her time and attention to detail. The food was phenomenal and the staff were so kind and patient. I look forward to many more meals with Emily’s Cafe and Catering!
