f you’re a fan of third spaces — those unique places away from home or work where you can socialize comfortably — Emilie’s Coffee House & Wine Bar in Avon Lake is made for you.

Run by the mother/daughter team of Erin and Emilie Stack, Emilie’s prides itself on being a cozy and welcoming space and offering good food and drinks made with quality ingredients.

In addition to a selection of wine and beer, house drinks include espresso, macchiato, cortado, cappuccino, ice latte, cold brews and batch brew, as well as a selection of seasonal specialty drinks invented by Emilie.

“Emilie creates all the seasonal drinks and the menu changes every month,” says Erin. “But what we are known for most is our toast and toppings.”

All toasts are served on fresh sourdough farm bread. Try the “blueberry,” which features a lemon whipped ricotta, wild blueberry preserves, fresh blueberries accented with a drizzle of honey and lemon zest.

“But our most popular is our avocado,” says Erin.

And it’s easy to see why. It starts with mashed, fresh avocado, cherry tomatoes and micro greens dusted with sea salt and crowned with a drizzle of olive oil. Feeling adventurous? Add feta, goat cheese or pickled red onion. Or, try it with everything bagel seasoning and red pepper flakes.
