About Emma's Torch

Emma's Torch is a Carroll Gardens cafe-restaurant that doubles as a culinary training program for refugees, asylees, and survivors of human trafficking, the kind of mission-driven business model that makes the cafe genuinely distinctive in a neighborhood with no shortage of dining options.
