The inviting atmosphere, paired with friendly service, makes you feel at home right away. Customers often rave about the warmth of the staff, who go above and beyond to ensure your visit is nothing short of enjoyable. Jen Gough perfectly captured this sentiment when she mentioned how welcomed she felt by the attentive service during her visit.

The menu at Emporia Overton is a delightful homage to classic English fare. Start your day right with a hearty breakfast selection that’s sure to please. The Big Breakfast is a feast for the senses, featuring a generous spread of Heinz Beans, diced mushrooms, fried free-range eggs, and a selection of sausages and bacon, all served with toast for just £8.95.

Lunch options are equally tantalizing, with highlights like perfectly baked potatoes topped with your choice of tuna mayo or chili con carne. Every dish is crafted from quality ingredients, ensuring a delicious meal every time. In the words of Harry Mcilroy, Emporia is his go-to for a “fantastic full English,” but he’s recently discovered the allure of their chicken burger meal, showcasing the café’s versatility.

One of the standout features of Emporia Overton is its stunning outdoor garden area. As Jane Sewell remarked, it’s perfect for enjoying your meal al fresco while you soak up the sun or shade, making it an ideal spot for dog walkers, families, and cyclists alike.

Great day out walking the dog, needed a hearty hot meal and a nice rest in lovely surroundings. Emporia had it all and more! The dogs were made welcome and we had the choice of sitting inside or out side in their amazing garden. The food was great, proper English breakfast...and lots of it. Service was fast and friendly. We had a good look around the pet shop within the cafe and left with a few dog treats and a couple of gifts from the vast range of gifting.

Had a really nice all day breakfast here. Cooked fresh and good quality ingredients. Coffee was nice too, now looking forward to trying the cakes which were getting good comments from others in the shop. The milkshakes look really good and are a very good price. (See menu) Well worth the visit, also good chance to look around the "Man Cave". Some nice fun gifts there. You might not be able to get Dad out of the shop. Give it a try! Buy local and keep it in the village. ×××××××××××××××××××××××××××××××

The breakfast was decent, but what really makes this place so lovely is the service. The lady who served us was so nice, we felt really welcome and comfortable. Nothing was too much trouble and this was very much appreciated. Nice coffee, good breakie, reasonably priced and a very quirky setting

What a great, quirky place. Pet shop at the front, which you need to walk through to get to the cafe. Outside garden, with shade and safe space for bikes. Super friendly service, and nice cakes too. As a cyclist I really appreciated the offer to refill my water bottle. Hope you go from strength to strength, you deserve to succeed!!

Came in on a Friday lunchtime with my son. We ordered 2 hot dogs and 2 milkshakes. The hot and onions with tomato sauce were amazing. I managed to drop mine all down my white t shirt....oooops. My son ordered the chocolate oreo milkshake, which was better than any other from certain food chains that are generic. I had a strawberry milkshake, which you could tell had been handmade. It was sweet, creamy, and very strawberry . I was then informed that they also did the milkshakes as take away. Too tempting. Thanks again everyone.

This is by far my favourite cafe, normally pop in for a full english (which is amazing) but today I tried out the chicken burger meal and my husband had the 1/4 pounder meal which we both thoroughly enjoyed, very tasty! Staff are very friendly a welcoming

Emporia in Overton offers a distinctive breakfast experience — far from the ordinary, and all the better for it. The café’s vibrant, eclectic décor immediately sets the tone, creating an atmosphere full of energy and character. It's a refreshing departure from the typical breakfast setting, with a welcoming vibe that adds to the overall charm. I opted for the Empiloria breakfast, which was fresh and well-executed. This was followed by a slice of hazelnut cake — rich, satisfying, and a clear highlight — along with a smooth, expertly made cappuccino. Emporia combines quality food with a lively and inviting ambiance. A memorable spot that I look forward to returning to.
