My favorite weekday breakfast spot to meet friends! Mary, the sweetest, peppiest and kindest server, always stops by our table to greet us and offer a hug. Emerald’s has a gem in Mary! This restaurant reminds me of the good ole’ days… similar to an A.C. Petersen’s! They are consistent with their offerings each and every time and reasonably priced.

First time and won’t be the last! I got the Apple fritter French toast ($9) with two eggs, bacon, toast, and hash (not pictured). Food came out pretty quick and it was delicious 🤤

This place has been a main stay in south windsor for a reason, the food is cooked perfectly and the prices are right. The staff is friendly and attentive. The restaurant is very clean and there's tons of seating so no problem getting in. We had breakfast and everyone was satisfied. No problems here.

A solid 5. Great find near my hotel. The 3 egg veggie omelette is chock full of fresh vegetables and cheese. Plenty of leftovers for another breakfast at work. The side of bacon was totally worth it. The home fries were cooked just right and not greasy. The rye toast from NYC is to die for. Kevin's coffee is very good. The server is very friendly and the kitchen is prompt. She did the follow up which is hard to find in most places these days. The ambiance is just right.

Our first time here. Clean, casual and comfortable atmosphere. Our host (Alina) was pleasant and attentive. Definitely a local favourite as many repeat customers coming in and out the eatery. Gets busy so patience is importance if you want a good experience. The food, service and overall atmosphere really good. Another eatery that’s going on our go to list. We will return.

​Emeralds Eatery has officially become our go-to breakfast spot. It’s the perfect balance: lively but not overly crowded, with a solid team of staff who really know how to keep the ball rolling. You’re never left waiting forever for a refill or your check. ​The food is consistently great, but the rotating specials are the real stars. We recently tried the Irish Benedict and the Blueberry Lemon French Toast—both were phenomenal and well worth the visit. ​While some might see it as being on the pricier side, I think the quality of the ingredients and the seamless service more than make up for it. If you want a stress-free meal that actually tastes like effort was put into it, this is the place.
