“So, we’re from boston and are visiting my son. Not too much to choose from around here in terms of restaurants. But suddenly I see a sign Minas Grill and went in just because of the word grill. It’s Brazilian! My heart is singing! Great coffee, the food is like home cooked. Loved the cheese bread and you can shop here too! Lovely warm people and so helpful! So we’ll be back while we’re here.“

“Stopped in for lunch while shopping and had a very good meal. I ordered the Crispy Chicken sandwich, which came with a side, I chose salad(but french fries were also an option) the sandwich was quite good and the salad was fresh and the dressing was delicious.
My server, Victoria, was delightful! So pleasant and efficient, it made for a very enjoyable lunch visit.
I will definitely be stopping by again, when I'm shopping the stores at The Grove.“

“I am leaving a production catering review. My Kitchen Witch provided catering to a large production crew and security where I work (a large historical building on Wall Street). I couldn't believe how quick and professional that My Kitchen Witch was in set-up, the meals, and the breakdown of their service. The food was excellent, especially the pork carnitas and Mexican street corn! I definitely highly recommend and would love to head to their cafe in Monmouth Beach, New Jersey!“

“I loved peach pit cafe!
The coffee was good, and so was the food. The huevos rancheros are a must-try. The breakfast bowl was also wonderful— such a great balance of flavors, all cooked perfectly. The pancakes are fantastic.
All of the food has beautiful presentation and tastes even better.
Our waitress was kind and attentive but seemed a little disoriented, and maybe confused.
This is also a great location— we got outdoor seating on a beautiful morning and it was lovely.
We definitely recommend.“
