Love it there. Nice that you can bring your own drinks. Heard the good news that they are opening in Emmaus.

This place is AMAZING!!! I wish I had more to say but when you have a place with great food you don't really need a long review. Husband ordered a lamb gyro, my 8 yro ordered the shrimp entreé, and I ordered the beef gyro simply amazing, fresh, flavorful, I kept stealing my kids shrimp because it was sooo goooood!! I'll definitely be a frequent customer. read more

Best Mediterranean food around. Tiny place so takeout is our go-to but eating in is great also. Food is always fresh and consistent. Their lemonaize house sauce is divine. read more

We keep trying to like this place, but every time we go it is a reminder of why we didn't go for a long time. The lettuce tastes like its pre-chopped from a bag- YUCK! Sometimes the meat tastes like it's been sitting out for a while too. the platter size is nice, but that lettuce I just can't get past the horrible taste. read more

Really great food and really friendly staff. Got the chicken gyro platter and it was delicious. Would highly recommend.

This place always has excellent food. I'm especially a fan of their falafel. The staff are friendly and you can tell they care about what they do. Definitely don't skip out on the opportunity to taste excellent Greek food here. read more

Authentic fresh food! Great and kind service! They are a busy café in demand because of how amazing they are! I recommend to call ahead for seating on the weekends. read more

The Lemonaize sauce is amazing, goes good on practically everything I've eaten here. Best grape leaves around, breaded cauliflower is outstanding as well. Even the desserts are slammin'! All around great joint, and friendly staff!! read more

We ate at True Blue today for lunch. It was outstanding. The service was good and fast and everyone was friendly and welcoming. The food couldn't have been better. We will certainly be back. read more

10/10 would recommend! Order the chicken gyro platter and get a side of the lemonaise. You won't regret it. Chicken was extremely flavorful & that lemonaise takes it to another level. read more

We love this little gem of a restaurant. It's always clean, with a very friendly staff. My husband and I eat there often. Always enjoying our meal. Our favorite are the lamb chops. It is always a great dinner date for us. read more

Always get good service and good food. Always live in good spirits from this place. Always look forward to visit them if I'm in the area. read more

True Blue - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Emmaus, Pennsylvania

After reading all these 5 star reviews, I just had to try this place. Well the 5 star streak ends with me. My son & I went for lunch today and were both very hungry, unfortunately after we left we were still very hungry after spending about 25.00 for lunch. We both ordered lamb gyros and while they were good & tasty, there just wasn't enough substance to them. I like a pretty full gyro, the ones we got were both short on meat & veggies. Next strike was no soda fountain, just bottles of soda. If you run short on soda your only choice is to buy another soda. When I go to wawa for lunch, I get a bottle of soda. When I go out to a restaurant, I expect beverages in glasses and refills when needed. The final strike was no check. The server came to our table when we were finished and said "if there is nothing else you can come to the register & I'll ring you up". I like to see what I am being charged and for what & base my tip on that. Since I didn't know what I was being charged, I figured a dollar tip should be fair. I really was hoping to like this place as I love gyros. This place just isn't for me. People with very small appetites will love this place but if you are a man with a man appetite either pass on this or be prepared to spend a bundle here. I'd write more but I am heading to subway for a 5 dollar foot long. read more

I cannot speak highly enough about True Blue's friendly people, cozy atmosphere, and fantastic food. The fried cauliflower appetizer is second to none, each gyro is fantastic in their own regard, and the Mujaddara is truly out of this world. Those combined with the hummus or babaganoush put True Blue in elite company in my book. The service is great and the staff are always very welcoming. They will do it everything they can to make your dining experience great! Don't forget to stick around for a Turkish coffee afterward! They also have plenty of varieties of baklava to try with it. Five stars hands down. I have never had a meal there that was anything short of delicious. True Blue had become one of our go-to dinner spots and will continue to be for years to come. read more

I usually intend to write reviews for places I find delicious but usually by the time an hour's gone by something like my fingernail has demanded all of my attention and thoughts of review writing are long gone. Not so with this place. This is the best Mediterranean food I've ever had. Not that I'm a connoisseur or anything but I've had my fair share and live in a city with a darn good selection of restaurants. I got the cauliflower wrap upgraded to a platter (included hummus, pita chips, cucumber/tomato salad and basmati rice). The cauliflower wrap was phenomenal, largely due to the deicious garlic/lemon/yogurt sauce they used. They vegetables were fresh and crunchy and the cauliflower was perfectly lightly fried. The pita chips were light and a perfect crispness with just a tad bit of the soft pita bread texture left over, lightly seasoned, went perfectly with the hummus. The rice itself was a perfect flavor - not too much not too little. The cucumber/tomato salad was fresh and very well/deeply flavored which I ended up mixing with the rice. On top of the exquisite food, the two employees (owner(s), I think?) were very friendly and were literally jogging to get the food out quickly (mine was ready in less than 5 mins). My only regret is that I live on the other side of the country and can't make this a regular eatery. Bravo, True Blue! read more

The. Best. Turkish. Coffee. Ever. I've sampled various cafes throughout the U.S. as well as a few in Europe and even the Middle East. This places' java takes the cake. I actually said "Oh my God," involuntarily when I took the first sip. Definitely order it. No sugar or cream needed. Secondly, the atmosphere is great. Quiet, low-key, people mind their own business. The gentleman working (not the owner but the owner's uncle) was friendly and chatty without being overbearing or disturbing. I worked for a few hours one day using their WiFi while I waited for my car to be finished over at Daniels BMW. The hummus was great and so was the falafel - solid As all around, except for the coffee, which will go down in my book as A++. read more

True Blue's food is consistently good. We have only ever done takeout and we have yet to be disappointed. Cauliflower Basmati is excellent as are wraps & gyros. Always piping hot when I pick it up. Always ready on time. read more

Ordered take out. Very pleased with the food and great prices. Wonderful option to a stress free night of no cooking. :-)

Pita. Chips. With the humus, seriously these things are great. Tucked into a shopping center next to a tattoo parlor, you'll be transported as soon as you walk in the door. If you want me to love a strip mall food joint, then you need to take the effort to really jazz up the place. Wood shelves adorned with Mediterranean flair, and tasteful art, there was plenty to see. Both the steak and lamb options were perfect. Servings were generous. Flavor was spot on. Our waitress / hostess was quick with a smile (which is great when you have a penchant for dad joke level humor) and a recommendation. When I asked for a baklava, she didn't hesitate, "This one is better." Period. It was fantastic! They also had a pretty generous selection of coffees. This is a great place, a true diamond in the rough, you should give it a shot. read more

What a great find! I was looking for something quick & good to eat before heading out on a long drive - this place is fairly close to my parents' and has good reviews, so we decided to give it a try. I didn't have high expectations and was expecting a brightly lit, dingy strip mall environment. So just walking in was the first pleasant surprise - nice, warm atmosphere. The coffee shop vibe was nice. I got the falafel - I love falafel but am unfortunately accustomed to the dry, powdered-mix stuff everywhere I go. But WOAH. This is hands down some of the best falafel I've ever had. Seriously. Perfectly done on the outside, but SO moist and not at all dry on the inside. Incredible. I commented on this and he told me they make their own falafel from scratch, no powdered mix. HUGE bonus points for that. HUUUUUUGE. So, the cauliflower - absolutely lives up to and deserves the hype. I got the cauliflower basmati. DEEEEEEE-LISH. We plan on going back for the cauliflower (and falafel). Next time I'll try the wrap. Cauliflower = SO GOOD. And the "lemonaize" sauce/dip was lovely. The grape leaves we're not the best I've had but they were good. The salad that came with my cauliflower was nice, as was the hummus. Only thing I wasn't a fan if was the pita chips - they seemed fried and I'd rather just have regular pita bread to dip into the hummus! My mom got the chicken kabob gyro which was good enough - but she also wants to go back for the cauliflower. THE CAULIFLOWER. And falafel. YUM. read more

A great strip mall take out Mediterranean-Style restaurant. Great service and food really combine to culminate into a superb dining experience. We had take out and loved it. I had a greek salad with lamb which really hit the spot. The traditional items like hummus was really great too. read more

See all

Delicious lamb gyro! The meat is so flavorful and juicy. You can tell the owners and staff really care about the end product and that their customers are happy. Great place for a filling meal! I wouldn't necessarily recommend the pomegranate/blueberry smoothie unless you're willing to try something different like I was. :P Overall, fantastic service and food! read more

True Blue was packed tonight (about 530pm). Ordered quickly and waited a little while for our takeout order. Wife got the lamb gyro with feta and olives. I had the steak gyro. Absolutely delicious. The cauliflower appetizer is wonderful. Easy to split with two people. Lamb was seasoned perfectly and very tender. The real deal. Pita chips with the hummus was so delicious. read more

The 5 star rating is well deserved for true blue. We just tried it for the first time today. My husband and I both had gyros. I had lamb and he had chicken. They were both incredible. The pita and hummus was just the right amount and very yummy. I treated myself to baklava and it was to die for. Plus it was the perfect size. We highly recommend! read more

True Blue - Lamb gyro with hummus and pitas - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Emmaus, Pennsylvania

The cauliflower here is by far the best thing!!! The coffee is very good! The service is speedy and friendly and the atmosphere is cozy. The pitas were yum! The hummus was good, but I've had better. The spinach pie was pretty good, but I've also had better. I would go back to this place in a heartbeat for the cauliflower and a good cup of coffee!! read more

True Blue is a unassuming BYOB located in a strip mall in Emmaus. The outside does not properly reflect the quality food that is being served at True Blue. The inside is very comfortable and there is seating for roughly twenty people. Additionally, there is a small patio where individuals could dine during warmer months. The menu features a wealth of Mediterranean themed options. From lamb, to chicken, to vegetarian options there is something for everyone at True Blue. During our most recent visit we had an appetizer sampler. This appetizer had humus, babaganoush, grape leaves, and cauliflower. This item also comes with warm pita and crunchy pita chips. Usually, we oder extra cauliflower since it is so flavorful. In general this appetizer is perfect from top to bottom. The textures of the dips are great, the flavors are vibrant, and each item plays off each other. For entrees we ordered a chicken gyro and a falafel gyro. First, I believe that these sandwiches are only as good as the pita and the pita that is used at True Blue is very soft and fresh. Each of the gyro's is piled high and are more or less overflowing. For a couple extra bucks you can turn these into combination platters and get rice and a small salad. Overall, we feel that True Blue is a very nice "go to" restaurant if you are looking for a quick bite to eat. The owners are very pleasant and put out a high quality product that is generally made from fresh ingredients. read more

I tried the chicken gyro recently and its awesome. Good amount of meat in there. Going to get it again. The sauce was really good in it.

When you walk in the pungent scent of the spices hits you right away. This is a good thing. The staff was very friendly and accommodating. The Gyro was one of the best I have ever had. It was substantial and the flavors were phenomenal. The Turkish Coffee was terrific. Prices are very reasonable and the atmosphere is great. the displays of blue glass bottles and hookahs really add to the feel of the place. The only reason I would rate this less than 5 stars is so that I can have the place to myself. read more

The food is out of this world!!! Everything is scratch made and completely delicious!!! Started with the cauliflower appetizer... the lemonaise sauce takes it over the top. I had the shrimp gyro... so packed full of flavor. The hummus is authentic and the baklava was incredible!! If you are in the area... you must go to this hidden gem cafe! read more

The hummus came with a nice salad which I saved to eat with my dinner, and they have use gluten free flatbread to eat it with. The lamb was cooked to perfection. I can't remember what my husband had. I was too busy digging into my own food. My lamb came with vegetables on a shish kebab, nicely grilled, and a large portion of rice. The lamb was tender and had great flavor. I'm not sure if this was a coffee shop that turned into a restaurant or vice versa. Run by a friendly Syrian family. Outdoor seating. Nice selection on the menu. All in all a nice place to eat. read more

The food is delicious. The cauliflower was a revelation!! My children were fighting over the chicken and basmati rice and the lemonnaise sauce was so good I could drink it!! There are plenty of vegetarian, vegan and GLUTEN FREE options. The staff was knowledgeable and friendly!! The service was soooooo fast it was unbelievable. We are coming back!!! read more

True Blue - The lemonnaise sauce that I begged to take home!! - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Emmaus, Pennsylvania

I have been here twice and will continue to come here for sure. Quick service, very nice staff. The standout item I have had is the Fattoush Salad with Eggplant. This salad is insanely delicious. Finely chopped/shredded ingredients which all taste fresh (even the tomatoes), are topped with beautifully roasted eggplant chunks and pita chips which are crazy good. These pita chips are simultaneously crispy and soft, as they are multi-layered, and lightly salted. The dressing on this salad is a fresh-tasting, full of herbs, slightly lemon-y zingy dressing that is so good! I came here for quick, healthy food, and will return again! read more

Amazing food! Seriously wonderful!! Flavorful and creative culinary delights!! Staff is so friendly and the prices are very reasonable. We get lunch here very often and True Blue never disappoints! Try their Cauliflower Wrap! Heavenly!! We highly recommend this little place !! Love it!! read more

Sucked. Really horrible tasting Greek gyro, chicken was gross and didn't even have tzatziki at this place

Absolutely awesome ... to the point of ordering and 2nd lamb gyro espresso was also excellent. Definitely recommend.

Outstanding food, excellent service, comfortable/casual, BYOB, fantastic coffee, and not only are they friendly, the owner is cute! What a nice experience; I think hubby and I are going to become regulars. If you like Mediterranean cuisine and you live in the Valley, I recommend you try this place. read more
