The food is delicious and the setting is just right for a quick stop near the ferry or to hang out on the front porch and enjoy the Essex sunshine. Our kids loved it too.

They must have had to grow the wheat to make the bagel that my Mom ordered that’s how long it took. The Cow must have passed out too because they basically forgot to put cream cheese on it. Owner was extremely disrespectful to the other individual working with her. This is coming from someone with years of experience in the service industry. Absolutely unacceptable behavior as a boss. I hope whoever has to work for her can find a better situation soon. Americano was great though! That’s why I decided to give 2 stars instead of one. Again the OTHER people that work there seem to be great. The owner however was extremely rude, condescending and making excuses for her poor behavior. “I’m only one person!” does not give you the right to treat others poorly.

Deb and the team run a great little joint! I play the piano that I bought and moved into there (thanks Deb for paying for the move!) and it is so much fun to hang out in the little L side room where the cafe sits (the main Emporium building is the boutique with antiques and other cool stuff).
I've never tried the food really but Freddie (Deb's husband) makes a damn good burger and the tacos, I hear, are awesome! The Barn Door tavern is right next door too so you can get good food and good beer without walking more than 30 feet! (look it up, I wrote a review on that one as well)
(additional edit from my most recent experience: Coffee is fantastic here but beware, it is VERY VERY POTENT. At the time of writing I'm flying on a coffee buzz that could get me to LA in 5 minutes, so just keep that in mind xD)

A tiny place with delicious home made scones, muffins and quiche. They also custom make breakfast sandwiches! If they are open -- do NOT pass it by!

OMG this place is a must. Not just because of the fabulous and delicious tasting food. The staff is incredible. They are the sweetest and nicest human beings on this planet.

Debbie was stellar. She was above and beyond! We came in, a pack of 10. Hungry, coffee deprived, and cold. She made us feel warm, made us laugh, was very welcoming and opened up her kitchen as if it was our own. She even gifted us a little syrup and took pictures with us. | 10/10 recommended the pink pig cafe! -

We loved Debbie! We had a big group of 10 and she happily accommodated us and let one of our friends help her out making our breakfast sandwiches.

Love this place! I go every time I'm in Essex. Sometimes I go to Essex just for the Pink Pig Cafe?

Beautiful little shop and coffee house. Debbie puts her heart and soul into this place and her cooking... The shop is full of beautiful and unique trinkets and clothes... One of my favorite places to go!

We came to Essex for a weekend trip. We went to the Pink Pig every single day, multiple times a day during our stay. The food was delicious and the boutique had beautiful items featuring women owned businesses. The owners were great to talk to, very funny, and all around wonderful! Would definitely come back here!!

The pink pig Cafe has great chili and quiche. Just waiting for the day Deb decides to put her 100 year old secret spaghetti sauce on the menu.
