    Ham and cheese omelet
    Olga M.

    I will definitely be back to visit this sweet lady who owns the place. She takes so much pride in the food and service, you can tell everything was prepared with love. The place is simple yet beautifully decorated. Everyone is greeted and taken care of. I will for sure be back.

    Crazy Benedict

    Great food. Great owner. Great atmosphere. Great prices. Great location in downtown Montgomery.

    So good

    Fantastic food, great music and an atmosphere that is very welcoming. Absolutely loved the Venezuelan owner / host , she was such a joy. Hope to return soon and see her smiling face again and enjoy more of her cooking.

    Sunrise Arepa - messy, but TASTY!!!
    Ryan A.

    Came in on a Saturday, sat immediately and helped by who I assume is part of the family for this quaint spot. She recommended the Sunrise Arepa, and I'm glad she did! Not something I would normally order, but tons of flavor! Only four stars because I wish they had a full bar or at least some mimosas... I didn't see anything in the menu.

    Pleasantly surprised with how satisfied the whole family was by the time we left D' Road. My vegetarian family is new to the area, and we hadn't found any good vegetarian friendly restaurants. But I saw a review that said D' Road could accommodate vegan/vegetarian/gluten free, so we stopped in for lunch. We were greeted immediately and small starter salad was brought out as soon as we walked in. Beverages - tea, water, and coffee - were available as self serve. No menu for lunch, just a hot bar served cafeteria style. There were three types of meat to choose from, rice, beans, veggies, cabbage, and plantains. We told them we were vegetarian, so we got all of the non-meat options with an extra large scoop of beans. We were told that all of the food was fresh, organic, and made from scratch daily. It definitely tasted like it. Everything was super flavorful! My 12 month old loved the beans, and my 3.5 year old loved the beans, rice, and broccoli. They also brought out some kind of homemade hot sauce that was a jar of marinated veggies in a liquid. I drizzled a little of the liquid over my cabbage and veggies, and it was the perfect addition. Def had a kick to it. My personal favorite thing on the plate was the plantains. They have a full menu of breakfast items, and it does mention vegan/vegetarian options are available. So I'm already looking for an excuse to go again.

    Some of the best cheese empanadas I've ever had, very good would recommend for a casual experience in the downtown area if you like Latin foods.

    Chicken curry, black beans, rice, cabbage, green beans, plaintains

    If you're looking for a place that feels like a warm, home-cooked meal straight from your grandma's kitchen, this is it! The food was comforting, flavorful, and made with such care. Every dish was delicious, from the perfectly seasoned meats to the hearty sides. The atmosphere was cozy and inviting, with a charming, homestyle vibe that made the whole experience feel extra special. The only downside is that the prices are a bit on the higher side, but for the quality and nostalgic comfort, I'll be back for sure! Also the toilet is prison style so plan to not use a restroom while you are here.

    Breakfast HAM EGGS & CHEESE SANDWICH
    Dorie B.

    My normal downtown breakfast spot changed their hours so my coworker and I landed here... instant convert! I wasn't sure what to expect of this place but an extremely fresh Latin breakfast was not one of them. This was one of those places where it was hard to choose what I wanted. I went with their version of a breakfast sandwich. It come in a cornbread wrap and the green sauce is so amazing I wish they bottled it. I'm not sure I've ever had FRESH pineapple juice but I'm never going back. The coffee was also strong and fantastic. I'm dying to try the rest of the menu. The staff was very sweet and kind, always checking in. Prices were super reasonable considering the portion size.

    Lunch bar...brisket, pork loin, chicken, rice, mixed veggies, spinach and plantains.
    Steven M.

    The service was amazing, like being at home. The food is really good and the atmosphere is festive but also casual. Worth every penny.

    We just happened upon this place as we were in the joint parking lot of Can a Brotha Get a Slice…read more As I was paying for our pizza, a lady approached me asking whether we wanted cheesecake. I was a little confused but I quickly learned that The Cheesecake Empori-yum is a distinct business. The woman was a friend of the owner and she kindly walked me through the cheesecake options that were available. I was debating between the white chocolate triple berry and the pineapple upside down cake for my husband and the snickers and red velvet for me. I went with the daily special - pineapple upside down cake - and red velvet. The cheesecake slices were $5.15 each, which was perhaps a little hefty for the size of the slice but still reasonable I thought. The pineapple upside down cake cheesecake came out hot. I was told that the cake portion had just been baked. I must admit that it looked very different than what I was imagining it to look like (i.e. Cheesecake Factory) as the cake was falling apart. We refrigerated it for a few hours before trying it so that the cheesecake portion would be cold. While good, this dessert very much looked and tasted like cake and not cheesecake. There was also a texture issue for me as it was all very soft versus having distinct cake and cheesecake textures. We thought that the red velvet cheesecake was more successful. It was rich and creamy and the red velvet flavor came through nicely. The slice held up well and had a nice Oreo crust. It was perfectly baked. We were rushing some so I didn't see the full menu. Next time, I'd love to try the soul food egg rolls!

    I'm not sure why, but I've been thinking a lot about my time as a student in Alabama. As a lonely…read moreCalifornia transplant years ago, I remember feeling a little uneasy about the prospect of being in such a new place without any of my normal comforts -- including my favorite places to get comfort food. Naturally, one of the first things I did was seek out some new local places to fill the role of my favorite spots back home. This search led me right to The Cheesecake Empori-Yum; after all, what could possibly be more comforting than a cheesecake? I can definitely say that I found what I was looking for. I may have had better cheesecake experiences in the past, but certainly not by much -- it's hard to exaggerate how good the cheesecakes are here. I might recommend trying the original in addition to any specialty slices you order, just to give yourself a benchmark. The last time I visited, I went with the Reese's cheesecake -- peanut butter fiend that I am, I ordered a peanut butter cheesecake with chocolate crust, crushed Reese's Cups, and chocolate drizzle was only right. It was wonderfully dense and beautifully creamy, just as always. I did wish that the peanut butter flavor of the cheesecake itself came through more, though; the peanut butter notes were overshadowed a bit by the stronger chocolate flavor from the crust/drizzle. Although the cheesecakes are fantastic, I think the best part of all is the amazingly friendly service. You often here the phrase "service with a smile," but here you will find that to the tenth degree. The owner is so very friendly, and it's evident she puts her heart and soul into everything she makes. A little shop with a big heart... you can tell each item is made with love. Come by for a slice... or three. I won't judge.
