About @em's Place

Tucked away at 165 Prince Edward Ave in Culburra Beach NSW, @em's Place feels like the kind of spot you wander into once and quickly add to your mental list of go-to locations. It’s relaxed, friendly, and full of those small touches that make a diner feel welcoming from the moment you step through the wheelchair-accessible entrance. Whether you’re grabbing breakfast, settling in for a casual meal, or just stopping by for something quick, the atmosphere makes it easy to linger.

As soon as you look over the menu, you can tell why locals mention this place in their reviews. The food hits that sweet spot between simple comfort and genuinely satisfying flavor. The Sausage Rolls, for example, are hard to ignore-warm, flaky, and surprisingly filling without being heavy. Pair one with a Decaf Coffee FW and you’ve got a combo that feels especially perfect for a slow morning.

If you’re craving something a bit heartier, the Plain Burger stands out in the best way. It’s straightforward but done right, and sometimes that’s exactly what you want. The Breakie Burger also deserves a shout-out, especially for those days when breakfast and lunch blend together. It’s the kind of small plate you enjoy without overthinking, yet it still feels crafted with care.

While the food is front and center, the overall dining experience plays a big role too. The seating is comfortable enough for a relaxed dine-in meal, whether you’re catching up with friends or taking a quiet moment to yourself. And if you’ve got a sweet tooth-or simply need something to top off your visit-the Sausage Roll & Brownie pairing is a satisfying way to wrap things up.

What makes @em's Place enjoyable is how naturally everything fits together. The menu feels familiar but thoughtful, the service is warm without trying too hard, and the space itself invites you to slow down for a moment. It’s the kind of restaurant you’re happy to recommend, especially if you appreciate good food served with a friendly, beach-town vibe.

Such a good coffee a steak sandwich nearly taller than me and fabulous fish n chips for hubs. Rocky road slice for me afternoon tea was delish, icecream for the driver and the apple slices we took home were scoffed down in no time. Freshly painted , clean and uncluttered! And the staff were really good... we'll definitely be back

Best coffee in the region; smooth and flavourful. Cooking stops at 2:00pm, so only end-of-day fare left. Nevertheless, very tasty and slipped down nicely with the coffee. Really nice staff. Steady flow of people easy with the chit-chat

My son and I went here on Friday the 4th of October around 1pm for lunch. My son got a burger, and I got the steak sandwich. The food was cooked perfectly, the service was fast and very friendly, and the food was incredibly yummy. That was the best steak sandwich I have had. It was so tasty and very filling. My son absolutely loved his burger and was also very full. Em and staff were all very lovely. Cafe was clean and lovely to sit at. Another lovely place you must visit if you are here. Highly recommend. Thank you, Em and Staff, for your lovely service. We will be back.

Stopped by to have a coffee and snacks, tried got a CAP & a Decaf FW. Both were smooth and tasty, perfect late art and beautiful froth on the CAP. The sausages roll was excellent The brownies was ok Plenty of options for snakes or breakfast to have here and to go. Very friendly staff & accommodating place, can seat inside or outside. Plenty of local people passing by to get coffee on a Tuesday morning is always a good sign. Will stop by again and recommend this nice little place. Thanks for having us.

Em’s cafe is a fantastic little gem on the main strip of the Culburra shops! You’ll always be greeted by a smiling face with your coffee order and Em serves up a great selection of cafe foods for dine-in or take away. There are tables both indoors and outdoors to sit at and for those with limited mobility the access in and out is easy as well. I would definitely recommend supporting this very sweet little cafe, the coffee is piping hot, the service super friendly and the food excellent!! Thanks Em, we will definitely be back next time we are in Culburra!
