Many friends have enjoyed their sandwiches ands tacos too. Also love their elote any way they make it. The newer electronic menu is frustrating as it moves too fast to read it. You can grab a printed menu if this creates chaos in your brain too. The wait staff is efficient and somber. The strip of buildings is in an unfortunately ever increasing shabby area. The amount of dirty gum, cigarette butts, trash and scary characters on the sidewalk and in front of the buildings is unfortunate and depressing. We still go though. It would be lovely if all of this could be cleaned and improved upon. Several of the businesses are quite nice to have in Lincoln but they are dotted with less than desirable business. There is a large trash can out front of the building on the corner but they don't really get used enough by the public. The landscaping on this block at one time was beautiful but it too is looking rougher by the year.

The ricotta toast was a delightful surprise. We had no idea it also included a delicious orange marmalade on the top, which was absolutely the star of the show. The vibe in here is adorable. This is oddly specific, but the smell took me back to a fancy Disney resort. Not complaining! One note: they didn't have any high chairs. We made due with our infant on our lap, but it would have been nice to have one available.

We recently visited here as a Nebraska Passport stop. Bookguy isn't that fond of cheesecake but…read moresaid he would try the cherry cheesecake. I went with strawberry. Bookguy was disappointed because he expected it to be topped with cherries instead of infused. My strawberry was the same with a ribbon of strawberry flavor and a couple chunks of strawberry. I liked it, but I think I would have enjoyed a plain traditional piece better. The consistency was great--baked perfection. They also have other cheesecake treats such as chocolate chip cheesecake sandwiches cookies, mini cheesecakes, samplers with different flavors and scoop-able cheesecake. I thought the scoop-able bins were ice cream at first. Many of the items they sell can be shipped frozen. There's also outdoor seating. This is a wonderful place to get delicious cheesecake.

Their IG account graces my eyes on the daily, and I don't know if it's the seductive, sexy way they spoon their cheesecake to show us cheesecake whores-alike what we're missing, but holy it works! I RAN to their website and grabbed their 2-12oz scoopables in the oh-so-tart Coconut Lime Supreme and Strawberry Rhubarb Parfait... yall.. that supreme rang my bell so well! Tangy, sweet, lime-ee, creamy and very little coconut. Pretty sure my eyes rolled back into my head. But then... you try the other, more calm one to off set the tang and SHES JUST AS GOOD! Very mellow in comparison but definitely a pallet pleaser, and I am NOT a rhubarb fan. But this little 12oz of joy.. sign me up! I chose to ship cause I'm going through some shit right now and I really didn't want to make the drive to Lincoln (life is a literal chore), but if you're a natural road trip woman like me, I encourage you to visit their brick and mortar and check out their plethora of choices! And you tell me, if they don't scoop those scoops in a seductive way!

On Friday I had to run some errands with my 11 month old daughter. After spending two hours going…read morehither and thither I was in the mood for something sweet from some place new. I searched Yelp for bakeries in Lincoln, ordered by rating and came across Emma Bakes. My first concern was that the reviews were from a year ago and later so I called to make sure they still existed. Once I confirmed I checked the map and found that they are located on O street. This left me wondering what parking would be like, but then I remembered I lived in Nebraska and even if it was street parking only I'd have options. Their location is on the South side of O street and comes complete with plenty of off-street parking. The shop is small but has a nice bright yellow sign out front and an yellow interior accent wall inside as well as plants and pastry cases. Each pastry is made on site and comes in its own resealable packaging. The proprietor, who I expect is Emma was kind and helpful. I selected 4 items and headed for home. I got an egg tart, a sausage and cheese bun, garlic bread, and a strawberry and cream cheese pastry. I started with the sausage and cheese bun, the non-sausage parts were a bit salty, not in a bad way, just a bit off. The sausage looked more like a hot dog than any special type of seasoned link. I have to say, after eating this I was concerned about the other items (I'd give this item 3 stars). Next I tried the egg tart, it was the last one in the store and the star of the other reviews I read. Oh my goodness, this was incredible, the crunchy-crispiness of the crust and the creamy subtle flavor of the center, it was perfection. Had there been more in the case I might have gone back and ordered a half dozen. Once my wife got home we split the strawberry pastry, it was also a solid five stars, great homemade filling, light flaky pastry dough, delightful. Finally, I cut into the garlic bread, it had quite a lot of cheese inside, tasted great and had a strong garlic kick. Overall, I will be back, either when they open or just after 1pm when the afternoon batch of pastries comes out of the ovens. Oh, and I should mention, they offer Banh Mi as well, I'll have to try those as well next time.

The prices ranges from 2.50-3.50+ I can't wait to come early to see what other options they have. There's no Asian bakery in the town so it's great that they have this option!

It was incredibly welcoming and begged for you to take a seat by the fireplace in the corner. Unfortunately, I didn't have time for a sit-down visit, I was just buying tasty things to bring home from my vacation, for me and for gifts. Not pictured (because I demolished them before I even thought about it) are the chocolate-covered gummy bears! I cannot recommend these enough. This treat is actually hard to find and even harder to find well done, and these were wonderful. The bears were nice and fresh and they had just the right amount of chocolate coating. The dark chocolate drizzle finishing them off was nice but probably unnecessary, and just ended up in a pile of crumbles that was hard to get out of the bottom of the plastic tube they came in. The serving size justified the price, in my opinion. There were so many other great souvenir treats available! But I moved on to the truffle case with all its gorgeous gourmet gems awaiting me! I selected four and was most excited for the Earl Grey one. It was decent but disappointing; I tasted very little tea inside, it was pretty much just a plain caramel filling to me. The other two are still awaiting me. The ladies behind the counter were helpful and friendly, and were patient with my indecision. I also got one of their house stickers for my collection and I was thrilled that it was so reasonably priced! Some places charge SO MUCH for stickers that are, essentially, advertisement for them. I wish I could return soon but I live far away and it will probably be a couple years before I'm back. But you can be sure I'll be making time for a longer trip here then!
