Amanda's Bakery and Café

I love love LOVE Amanda's.
We got the #3 Roast Beef, #8 Kickin' Southwest Chicken, with a side of the house coleslaw.
First off, overall, the food was delicious. Flavorful, great texture, and not overly salty like most places.
The roast beef: on sunflower wheat, wonderful! In the past, the horseradish mayo has been a (very pleasant) kick in the mouth, but it was absent this time. Still my favorite sandwich to eat here.
The southwest chicken: pleasant, blended flavors of smoky chili, roasted pepper, melted cheese....Great contrast of the crunchy toasted bread and melty insides.
The coleslaw: mild, not sweet or onions, good crunch to the cabbage.

The workers are kind and knowledge, and the atmosphere can't be beat. It's full of old friends and acquaintances running into each other, just very positive vibes.
The high chair was clean and easily accessible.
(They have NATIONAL GEOs laying out for you to read while you wait??! I ADORE this)

DELICIOUS!!!!!! Sorry had to get that out there.

It's a nice little place. Most important is that you better show up early because once they run out of certain items then it's gone till the next visit.

Kickin'southwest chicken has a lot of flavor. The chicken was tender and salted just right. If you are trying to eat healthier, this is the place to find what you like.

Also, if you have a sweet tooth, you can find it here. Fountain drinks and sealed drinks available.
If your driving by stop by and support the town and maybe walk around the block and see what you can find.

Great customer service and great personalities.

First time eating lunch at Amanda's. We love the gigantic cinnamon rolls! We had half a sandwich, tomato basil soup, and the lemon cake. All of it was delicious! We will definitely be back for lunch more often. The service was fantastic as well.

Amanda’s offers wonderful breakfast and lunch options in a cute corner cafe in Emporia’s downtown.

I believe my previous comment was a mistake, I had misunderstood the situation. I was given great service when I first walked in. The food was fresh and my future attitude will be better!

Very good service & excellent food.

I use to live in emporia back 4 years ago and had the pleasure of working with Amanda and her awesome crew!! Such a down to earth place, and the food is awesome. Amanda is such a sweetheart and awesome boss when I worked with her, I didn’t want to quit it’s just with things happening and constant moving cus of a ex bf I was with made it hard to get to work. I live back in Oshkosh Wisconsin and I will say, if your hungry and need a great lunch or soup, their friendly service, good food and memories to make, please go to Amanda’s bakery. You’ll be so glad you did!!
