Ems & Co. in Highland

My husband and me are regulars at EM’s so today when we visited we were saddened to see that she is closing down today. The baking has always been first class and the friendly staff, amazing. EM’s will be greatly missed in Dingwall. All that is left for me to say is that we wish Emily and her staff all the very best in the future. A truely brilliant baker.

When you have a true hidden gem like Ems & Co on your doorstep, you always feel a little reluctant to shout about it too loudly...but in this case, it would be completely unfair not to! Ems & Co isn't very prominent to see from the main road but when you get inside and walk through the serenely decorated seating area for the first time to see the vast array of delicious patisserie and savouries waiting for you to choose from, you very quickly understand what all the fuss is about. We don't recall seeing such an extensive selection of cakes anywhere within the area or for that matter outside the central belt in Scotland. We're still trying new things each time we visit and the quality is superb, everything not only looks good but tastes brilliant. For us, prices may not be the cheapest around but you're getting the best quality around so value for money is entirely fair. And finally, the lovely people serving in Ems & Co are always extremely friendly and genuinely attentive.

Went for lunch to a lovely cafe at the railway station in Dingwall called Ems & Co hidden gem food was excellent home made and very tasty coffee was simply the best cafe clean and tidy staff knowledgeable friendly and welcoming will definitely be going back

This is a great place - fantastic selection of beautiful artisan baking - sweet & savoury. Pricey but definitely good value for money. The sausage roll, served with salad, might not sound like much - absolutely delicious!

My daughter, having recently moved to this area, had raved about Ems & Co so we made a date to have coffee with one of her friends. I was certainly not disappointed….what a find! The coffee is fantastic and, accompanied by a cinnamon bun, It just made my day. Normally I have a fixation with home made scones but this is surely a rival! Seated outside on the station platform, we must have been the envy of trains stopping there. Really friendly staff, including the lovely baker, Emily, completed this picture. Such a pity that I live 160 miles away but maybe better for my bank balance!

Well what a find ... absolutely delicious lunch of Mediterranean vegetable frittata followed by one of their equally delicious traybakes & tea. Comfortable surroundings enhanced by the friendly staff. Will happily return when back in yhe area.

Fantasic, you have to come here!! Had the Feta and butternut squash quiche, earl grey tea and huge Almond croissant. Staff delightful. All I would say is that it was dlightly chilly (doors open onto railway platform and outside tables) but understand this may be for Covid purposes.

Been a few times for brunch or soup with some friends. Their Sunday Brunch was excellent, some great options but my favourite was the parsnip soup with bread. So beautiful! Also, the hot chocolates are fab.

Visited today with a friend for lunch. Best meal I have had for a while. Delicious choice of home made quiches, sausage rolls served with beautiful salads and cakes, very friendly staff and pleasant surroundings near cosy wood burner. Will definitely be back.

Absolutely delicious lunch today. Cosy but spacious in front of the Woodburner. Great service, too. We will be back and highly recommend this place.

Tucked away right on the platform of Dingwall Station this little gem is a delight . The food is all homemade and a delightful selection of savoury bakes , soup and tempting cakes. Service complements the culinary delights. How wonderful to have a pot of tea served with bone china cups. Looking forward to my next visit.

Today we visited Em & co at lunchtime we only called in for a drink but when we saw the food being brought out we decided to eat so we had a pork & Haggis sausage roll wow what a taste and flavour I asked waitress and she said they actually made them. The Quiches looked fantastic as did the homemade cakes. So if we ever visit Dingwall again we definitely be paying another visit oh and by the way it’s attached to the train station platform

The surroundings, food and staff are superb. Had eggs Benedict with smoked salmon and they were cooked to perfection. So very tasty and will certainly be back for more! Highly recommend this hidden gem.

Lots of choice for lunch, everything on display looked delicious. I had the smoked salmon quiche and my wife had the roast vegetable frittata, both were full of flavour and both had a beautiful salad to accompany. I also couldn’t resist having a slice of cake which again was delicious. All of the staff were very welcoming,friendly and efficient. Will definitely return

Stopped here for a late lunch. The selection of home made quiche, frittatas etc was superb but made it difficult to choose. I had smoked salmon and cream cheese quiche and my wife had roast vegetables frittata both were delicious and served with an amazing salad that was so full of flavours. I saw the cake selection which was irresistible and had the strawberry Victoria sponge which was amazing. The place was spotless and all of the staff were warm, friendly and very efficient. Will definitely be back

Awesome Bakehouse serving the most amazing savoury tart, cakes, colourful fresh home grown salad, and coffee is very tasty too. Emily and her team are so friendly and you will not be disappointed to do a pit stop here either by train or as part...

We had a lovely pit stop and indeed came away with handfuls of extra pastries since it all looked so good Very friendly and helpful and highly recommended

So glad to see that this lovely cafe has reopened. We had a couple of Takeaways whilst Covid restrictions were on, which were great. My husband and I today enjoyed Americano coffees, an Orange Blossom cake and the biggest piece of Raspberry Chocolate cake. Coffees...

Wonderful little cafe situated at the railway station. Lots of indoor and outdoor seating available. There is parking available right outside but we walked along from the Main Street and took no time at all. Great selection of sandwiches, pies, quiches, sausage rolls and soups...

I ordered a birthday cake for my daughter at short notice. It looked stunning and tasted delicious. The sponge was light with a lemon flavour with a tasty frosting and decorated with fresh fruit. This is the second celebration cake we have had and the...

I was unfamiliar with this place but my wife picked up some goodies today. This afternoon I had some cakes from Ems and co which were absolutely amazing. Now I have just had the pleasure of enjoying a selection of savoury delights for my dinner....

Sadly, during these COVID-19 times it’s not possible to enjoy the full hospitality at Ems & Co, though Emily told me today that hopefully she will be fully open in April. So just a couple of Coffees and delicious Cakes to go. It’s heartening to...

We have been to EM's quite a few times now and today we met up with 2 of our friends. Always a warm welcome by Emily and her staff. Sitting on the platform is interesting when the trains come through. Hot water bottles offered, a...

Had a little visit for a late breakfast and it was absolutely fantastic. Lovely staff and excellent food. Even asked if I wanted a hot water bottle to sit outside with! Perfect.

My wife and I met up with friends here due to the COVID-19 restrictions. Many years ago this establishment used to be a traditional Tea Room, which sadly lacked any atmosphere. What a transformation, Emily and her colleges are to be congratulated on their efforts....

Lovely lovely baking... Coffee is so nice.. Really hoping this young owner does well, she deserves to. Nice welcoming manner. So tricky for any business in current Covid climate. This is meant purely as constructive feedback, didn't bother me at all but others I've mentioned...

Knew about this café but hadn't managed to get there since it opened back in March, what with Covid and all that. Had to go to bank in Dingwall today and parked at station and thought, why not? Went in and bought two cakes for...

Went here for the first time with a friend. Had an amazing choice of unusual treats. I had a Bureka which was amazing - feta, potato, pastry and the most beautiful salad with it too. We finished off with the most amazing Cinnamon bun I've...

Came across this cafe completely by accident and boy what a find!! Nipped in for just a coffee to keep me going and had to get a cake as they looked so good! Really reasonably priced and everything looked phenomenal. The coffee was fab too....

Had a great breakfast here today. Despite being busy, the service was quick and the food was excellent. Will be back very soon!

Enticing selection of savoury and sweet treats, if a little pricey. Over £7 for slice of quiche and side salad. Visited to meet up with a friend, but experience marred by the cold due to doors propped open and no heating. They did supply hot...

Since things reopened following lockdown we have been regular visitors to Ems & Co. Coffee is excellent and well prepared, lovely staff who are very friendly and attentive under the most trying of times. However, the highlight is Emily's fantastic food. The baking in particular...

Perfectly done coffee, amazing cakes and savouries, friendly staff, went every day we were in town after the first visit for take out coffee and breakfast cakes

Loved this coffee shop. It’s has a really lovely atmosphere , staff are knowledgable about the food which is soo good. The mustard and chutney I bought to bring home was also really good. This will be my first port of call whenever I visit...

Homemade baking to die for! Everything is delicious and fresh. The croissants are a must have. Friendly and helpful staff and a warm and inviting atmosphere. An absolute gem in the middle of the highlands. Not to be missed, I will be back!

Best cafe for cakes and pastries we've been too since living in Edinburgh. We now live in Inverness and nothing comes close, until now!!! The cakes are the standard of a patisserie in France, and the coffee was a fine brew too. We will be...

We have visited this place a few times now and love it! Em and her staff are so lovely and the food is incredible. The cakes are amazing and I can't reccomend the raspberry jam enough! Best place in and around Inverness easily. Thanks, we...

When we asked The Alchemist gallery in Dingwall for a place for tea and 'good' cake, saying we were very discerning, their recommendation could not have been any better! The delight at finding someone who had equal food passions as ourselves was quite rare. The...

Everything is made fresh to order and the breads and baking are very nice and popular. Staff are nice

Amazing selection of delicious cakes and savouries. Good service in pleasant surroundings, in Victorian station buildings.
