Frozen hot chocolate was okay, they definitely didn't blend it enough because there were ice chunks in the drink. I ordered two... Chocolate Croissants, which were underbaked and oily. Chocolate wasn't even melted it was just chocolate chips. I couldn't evenfinish the first one before throwing them out Read more
I used to come here pre-pandemic nearly 4-5 times a week to get work done throughout the day, and I loved that more than... anything. The greatest staff, amazing coffee, all around great experience. I truly believe that this cafe from 2016-2019 mayhave been the best cafe in the state. However, I'm not sure what seems to have changed after re-opening post pandemic, but it isnot the same Empire I loved before (notably, a lot of the staff from before do not work here anymore). Every time I go in thereare minor issues. Little things like forgetting the vanilla in a latte, or mixing up hot and iced drinks. Today I went in withmy girlfriend for 1 large iced latte (made correctly) - 1 small iced vanilla latte (made as a small hot latte with no vanilla) -an acai bowl with peanut butter - and a bagel with cream cheese. For some reason instead of calling out my order by the namethey had asked for, as I assumed they would, they left it at the mobile / online order pick up station for 15 minutes until Ihad gone up frustrated that something so simple was taking so long when it wasn't busy. I'm not one to write reviews, and Istill do think that the coffee is good when made to order, but it feels like I'm falling out of love with my favorite coffeespot and it's heart breaking Read more
I stopped by yesterday to grab a cool drink and a bite to eat and was impressed by their above-and-beyond customer service and... general friendliness. Their breakfast sandwiches are amazing as well. Definitely recommend! Read more
I?ve been to Empire too many times to count since 2009 - so maybe I?m just feeling nostalgic about the Empire I remember with... comfy seating and a lite-brite table. Came back to this location for the first time in a year or so, and bummed to see theytook down the art and replaced what was very cozy chairs with a big standing area. Menu seems smaller. 8 dollar breakfastsandwich was a little cold, but also burnt on one side. Coffee was fine. Overall a weird impersonal ambience, expensive, and notnearly as good as I remember it being last year or the years before. Hoping this was a blip. Staff was nice though! Read more
