What People Are Saying
from Google & Yelp"If you enjoy small cafés with a curated breakfast menu, Cafe 23 is a solid place to stop for coffee and a morning bite. Cozy breakfast spot with specialty coffee and elevated sandwiches Pricing typical for a modern café with craft drinks and artisan-style breakfast items I visited Cafe 23 in Emmaus, PA, and overall it was a pleasant experience. the service was handled by Alyssa J, and we visit around 9 AM my perfect breakfast timing. I ordered a 10 oz hot latte with whole milk and vanilla. The latte was priced at $6.00, with an additional $1.00 for vanilla, which is pretty standard for café pricing nowadays. We also order a 10 oz hot coffee with half-and-half for $4.00, which is reasonable and suggests the café keeps their drip coffee at an accessible price. For food, we got Half Ezra Half Sandwich ($12) and a Samson breakfast sandwich ($12). Based on the pricing, these appear to be more gourmet or specialty breakfast sandwiches overall good quality ingredients and decent portion sizes."
"It was my first time at Cafe 23 a few days ago, it was a Tuesday early afternoon. So it was fairly calm and quiet and not crowded at all. Walked in and was seated right away. I discovered Cafe 23 on Google while looking for a cafe to visit with friends. The ambiance and atmosphere is absolutely amazingly beautiful! The decor, the fireplace, etc. is so pretty! I loved everything about it. Definitely gives cozy vibes and makes you not want to leave 😄. There is a bike shop next door which you can walk right into from the cafe which is neat as well. Aside from the beauty of the place, I loved the menu and the fact that it is all biblically based (names for food items, etc.)...such a creative idea. I've never seen anything like that before. It's actually what made me choose to go here while searching Google. The food and beverages were really good! The waitress was very nice and checked in consistently. I will definitely be back again and will recommend this little quaint spot to family and friends. It is a great place for breakfast or brunch which is what I went for. I'm sure it is for lunch and dinner as well but I didn't go for that yet, perhaps next time. 😊 You can certainly go here solo, with friends or for a date. It would be the perfect spot! Definitely check it out, it's worth it."
"First time visiting Cafe 23. Located in South Mountain Cycle on the side as you enter. Restaurant is cute with nice tables and some outdoor seating. Menu is limited so we tred their vegetable omelet, a chicken Caesar wrap and a Samson breakfast sandwich. The omelet was ok but the egg was so thin and looked more like a crape than an omelet. The filling had a small amount of peppers and onions and some greens on the side that I assume was meant to be salad but really wasn't at all. It came with your choice of toast which was actually the only thing that was a good portion in the order. All other sides are extra charge, which we didn't want considering the prices were high enough. The taste was ok but definitely not worth the price for what you get. See pics. The chicken Caesar wrap was simple and just ok and had nothing special about it and It came with nothing, not some chips or even a pickle, Nothing At All , which was surprising and disappointing and definitely not worth the price. I could have gone to Wawa for the same wrap and much cheaper too. The Samson breakfast sandwich was just ok too. We went with the bacon and egg but this too had more bread than ingredients and not worth the price. Prices are high and you don't get your money's worth. We spent 44 dollars for take out , see receipt, and the food was not worth it in any way. Maybe they needed to focus more on the food instead of the decor. Disappointing and not worth a second visit. I don't recommend."
"OMGEEEE!! When I say you need to come, you need to come here! It’s beyond delicious and fresh! Everything I tried was spot on. The salads, sandwiches, the drinks. It’s beautiful inside. LHV needs more cafes like this. There’s tons of options for everyone and a great space to gather or relax🤍💚🌿"
"The food itself had good flavor, but unfortunately, nothing came out hot, not the entrees, not the coffee. It might seem like a small detail, but when everything arrives lukewarm, including breakfast items and drinks, it really takes away from the overall experience. The space is beautifully designed, and I get the aesthetic and the pricing strategy, but when the quality doesn't match the premium price point, it leaves me questioning the value."
"Came in for brunch with my 10 year old. We were seated in 30 seconds at 12pm on a Saturday. Great range of options, loved the latte and smoothies. We had..."
