EMILY Darling bakes some truly lovely croissants, indulgent desserts, and other flaky, buttery treats. The fact that all their baked goods are properly covered is a huge plus in my book.

Came here many months ago after reading someone review on this cafe, with the name ‘Emily’ that interests me! While on the way back from hometown back to KL, purposely drove into island to dine into this cafe.

Pastries look so tempting I wanna try them all. I had the lunch option duck sourdough sandwich came with generous avocado and side salad which is almost perfect. Coffee was average but i guess it isn't it's selling point .

I came specifically for the pandan croissants. The ambiance was just average, but the bakery counter had quite a few pastries to choose from. The croissants weren't very oily, and the crispness was just average.
