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. The space serves breakfast and lunch with rotating menu items reflecting the global cuisines of the trainees in the program. The coffee program is solid and the food program is what brings most people in: well-executed plates that demonstrate real kitchen skill, paired with the meaningful context of supporting the training program. A worthwhile destination for both the food and the mission.
