“I had the pleasure of dining at Estime Cafe today, it was an outstanding experience! From the moment we walked in, the customer service was phenomenal, warm, attentive, and truly welcoming. This is the first Haitian restaurant I’ve visited that delivered such impeccable service, and it made all the difference. The atmosphere was inviting, and the food was authentic, flavorful, and beautifully presented. Every dish was prepared with care, bringing out the rich, bold flavors of Haitian cuisine. Whether you’re a longtime fan of Haitian food or trying it for the first time, this place is a must-visit. I highly recommend for anyone looking for a fantastic meal and a top-tier dining experience. My husband and I will definitely be returning!“

“Nice little spot where there's not much else around so its super convenient. Finally stopped by for an iced cold brew and it was really good. Great friendly service, would definitely stop by again. It's a trailer in the parking lot of the Willow Grove church, you can't miss it.

Parking: Church parking lot, free.“

“Frequent customer, but always blown away with the freshness of their summer menu. The shrimply the best tacos, which was originally on a tostada last summer, was just as amazing, but didn’t sit as heavy as a tostada. Love the move to a light tortilla. The Mexi-Avo toast was so filling and the flavors melted together so nicely. Don’t forget the decor inside is so cozy, boho/havana vibe and perfect for a date or girl’s brunch. 10/10“

“Guava cake brought us back to our childhoods. Highly recommended!!“

“I recently discovered Good Vibes Cafe in Fords, NJ, and it has quickly become our go-to spot. John and Angelica, the owners, create an atmosphere that is not only friendly but genuinely welcoming. Every visit feels like a warm, positive experience. My son and I have spent countless enjoyable hours at the cafe, often hanging out with their wonderful daughter Jade. The teas and shakes are a delight, offering a refreshing and diverse selection. The ambiance is just perfect for relaxing and unwinding. And let's talk about the donuts – they are out of this world! The flavors are unique, and the freshness is unbeatable. Each bite feels like a little piece of heaven. Good Vibes Cafe is more than just a place to grab a drink or snack; it's an experience filled with warmth, great company, and, of course, fantastic treats. If you're in Fords, NJ, do yourself a favor and soak in the good vibes at this exceptional cafe.“

“Great food and friendly service!!!“

“Love their soups and sandwiches. Their staff are always friendly and professional!“

“This is a great little café/diner right next to the Westfield train station. We are fairly new to Westfield and went there for the first time a couple of weeks ago. We were wowed by the wonderful customer service of our waitress, Cindy. She was very attentive, provided great order suggestions and also brought over their delicious housemade hot sauce to go along with our eggs. All the food we ordered was wonderful, including the short stack of chocolate chip pancakes, the egg and cheese sandwich on a hard roll, and the Florentine omelette. The chef (maybe owner?), Ash even stopped by later on towards the end of our meal to check on how everything was. We meant to write this review right after that, but then never got around to it and when we went back today a few weeks later, we realized how much we needed to write this up! This time Kirsten and Cindy both helped us out, and Cindy remembered us by our orders from the last time even though we had only been here one time- very impressive and shows a great attention to detail and customer service. Ash came by also, and it was clear he remembered us as well. The food was fresh and tasty yet again (we got the French toast, egg and cheese sandwich, and Greek omelette this time) and the prices are great. This place is a gem and is definitely becoming one of our go-to spots!“

“Stopped here for lunch on our way to Virginia. Can't wait to come back. Food was fresh and original. Loved the fries, BLT pasta salad, and raspberry lemonade. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐“

“I’m glad my daughter found this place, now I’m addicted to bubble drinks!! And the bubble waffle is awesome!!!!“

“Great selection of Portuguese and Brazilian breakfast/lunch!!!“

“La schiacciata e’ ottima, l’ambiente elegante ed accogliente. Golosi i panini, i dolci ed i croissant!“

“Brewed Awakening is the perfect spot for breakfast, brunch, or lunch. The food is consistently delicious, and some of my favorites include the BLT Sandwich (always made to perfection), the omelettes, and their Apple Caramel Butter Latte—a delightful seasonal treat. I first discovered the latte through a social media post a few weeks ago, and now Brewed Awakening has become my go-to spot every Sunday for a relaxing meal. The service is always warm and welcoming. Annie, the owner, often makes an appearance on the floor, either serving or checking in with guests to ensure they’re enjoying their visit. Her kindness and genuine hospitality make the experience even more special. I highly recommend stopping by Brewed Awakening for a delicious meal and a cozy, inviting atmosphere. You won’t be disappointed!“

“One of my favorite bakeries from now on. Love the pastries, drinks and the crew service is very good as well.“

“Had a amazing BLT!!! Fresh ingredients and the bacon was perfectly cooked. Customer service was friendly and helpful. Would definitely go back.“

“Just had the apple turnover, it was incredible.“

“We picked up assorted sandwiches for a party on Sunday and they were amazing! We got so many compliments from our guests. Thank you!“

“More then food - kindness & 💜“

“Great place! A coffee hangout for the post modern beat generation !“

“Amazing Cinnamon Rolls. Perfectly baked dough, not over done. Extra Cinnamon, not the cheap stuff and plenty of sweet glaze for the top.“

“Boxwood Cafe is a gem! The owner has created a high quality coffee shop and the employees are very friendly. I like to stop by for a latte and a baked good (scone, cookie, or blueberry bar) and sit outside at one of the side tables. Pre-Covid, they hosted open mic night and quiz night every month. Now Steve hosts a monthly Zoom Quiz Night and it is so much fun! A great locally owned cafe.“

“Wow! So delighted at this amazing bakery in Westfield run by the most talented couple and now they have a new one in Morristown too! My son is so picky and adores their key lime pie, Boston Crème donuts and Snickerdoodle cookies ! And these are 5 star treats ! Enjoy and join their loyalty program too to save … what a gift to New Jersey ! 💙🩵“

“Visited for first time. Food and service were great. I have to say I was not pleased with the Pet situation. I am a dog lover, but pets in a restaurant is not appealing at all. The dogs were barking, doing their busy on the sidewalk, spilling drinking water out of saucers. This was a bit too much. Sorry I'm not a pet hater, but safety and sanitary issues would keep me from visiting again.“

“Delicious Boba!!! Camp Becca approved!! ❤️💕“

“Stepping into Crafts in Cranford feels like discovering a hidden gem! But the real treasure trove lies behind the counter: Kamily, the young entrepreneur leading the show!From the moment you chat with Kamily, her passion for healthy, delicious drinks is infectious. Whether you're looking for a refreshing smoothie packed with superfoods or a loaded tea bursting with flavor, she's got something to tantalize your taste buds and nourish your body.“

“New ownership and they serve wonderful authentic Mexican food. Amazing tacos.“

“Chashni is one of my local favorites to take out, I highly recommend
- Kulfi shake: a milk shake with pistachios, cardamom, and dried rose petals
- avocado toast served on sourdough
- iced chai with oat milk, unsweetened
- date salad
- gulab cake

Service is slower than mega chain coffee shops, but worth the wait. There are a couple of bistro tables outside the shop and a limited amount of indoor seating.“

“This place is officially my go to local bakery! Victoria and her mom Laurence have been nothing but kind and helpful each time I’ve went in. My friends and family raved about the triple chocolate cake i picked up for my sisters birthday and my best friend and i enjoy a quiet breakfast and cafe on the weekends! The decor is so welcoming and bright. It’s a great place to sit, and relax! I highly recommend this place to anyone looking for delicious pastries and French imports. It’s a piece of home for my mom, as well! 🇫🇷🥖🥐🥮🧁🎂💕“

“I love Panera!! The food is good as it always is. What made our visit really memorable was the staff member Misheel (please forgive me if I spelled your name wrong!) who made absolutely sure our food was satisfactory. When we picked up our food, he made sure we knew that we could come to them with any concerns or questions. I got up at one point to get some butter for my bread and some dressing for my salad, and he was super accommodating. He also came by to check on us as we were eating. Really stellar service, I’m super impressed!“

“Great company! We love the passion and drive they have to help their local community ♥“

“This was one of the best omelets I've ever had in my life and I'm an omelet girl. I wish I lived by this place because it would be my go-to breakfast spot. I got the western omelet and it was so fresh with just the right amount of cheese.“

“The Blue Café in Basking Ridge is an absolute gem. From the moment we walked in, the warm atmosphere and welcoming smiles set the tone for a fantastic dining experience. The food was simply outstanding — fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented.

A special shout-out to our waiter, Angel. This young gentleman is the definition of excellent customer service. Attentive without being intrusive, incredibly polite, and genuinely caring about making sure everything was perfect. It’s rare to see someone so dedicated and professional at such a young age — he truly elevated our entire experience.

Between the incredible food, the relaxing vibe, and service that goes above and beyond, The Blue Café is a must-visit. We can’t wait to come back!“

“This Panera has become our go-to post-gym hangout. My wife and I stop by after workouts to cool off, get a little work done, and treat ourselves — and it never disappoints.

We’re Sip Club members, and the new Strawberry Basil Lemonade Fresca has been a total favorite lately. It’s light, refreshing, and honestly feels like a reward after the gym. Super crisp and not too sweet — just right.

We also shared an orange scone, and wow... it was so good. Moist and fluffy on the inside, but with a glazed, slightly crunchy shell that gave it that perfect balance. Sweet but not over the top. One scone, two happy people.

The vibe inside is calm, cozy, and just the right amount of background noise to settle in without distraction. Whether we’re working or just relaxing, this location always hits the spot.“

“Everything was always so fresh and tasty. The Staff goes out of their way for the Customers.“

“This location is so special & I really enjoy stopping to have a meal here whenever I’m in the area. A large indoor seating area w/a sweet fireplace! Yep a fireplace. It also has very nice sized outdoor space as an option in nice weather! A ++ service & cleaniness. Would eat here if I lived closer on the daily.“

“I'd like to take a moment to recognize the *outstanding service* of this locally owned cafe. We have been in contact with the owner, Chris, to help us send nutritious treats (the most delicious smoothies in town!) to the heroes on the front line of this unfortunate pandemic at Saint Barnabas Hospital. My father's been fighting COVID and due to appropriate hospital regulations, we have not been able to visit him - the incredible doctors, nurses, respiratory therapists, technicians, and support staff have been faced with not only caring for patients but being their bedside cheerleaders. I've gotten feedback from the nurses that the smoothies are a huge hit! Not only are they tasty, but they are extremely nutritious! There's a huge variety to choose from and the mechanism for ordering/delivering was so easy (they even attached personalized notes from us!) that we've utilized their services several times to help treat the hospital heroes. Also, of note, is their special attention to sanitary mechanisms as they prepare food/smoothies during this scary time. *The cafe has donated a tremendous amount to the hospital heroes as well, and for that, they must be commended and supported during this difficult time for local businesses.“

“A great place to spend a the day and not spend a lot of money. The pedal boats are $10 and seat up to 4 adults. The café has good food, drinks and ice cream at great prices. There is a playground for the kids across the street, areas for barbecues, walking trails and amazing wildlife. Bring your camera for some wonderful pictures. It's a great time for kids and adults alike. There's also a stocked lake for fishing.“

“Great food and the staff works extremely hard to make sure food is served properly!!“

“Delicious food. Best crepes in Morristown!“

“Great spot for a meeting! Great food and the best coffee!“

“Guys, I stopped in yesterday to check the place out. I got to speak to Angie, one of the owners and I purchased a piece of Carrot Cake to take home. I had to take a bite the second I left the store. Just a taste. OMG! It was the best Carrot Cake that I ever had! So moist and full of flavor! I was very impressed. Sadly ... that piece of carrot cake barely made it to my car let alone back to my house! And you know what ... Not only was that carrot cake awesome, it was GLUTEN FREE. Now to put things into perspective for you all ... I own Ahrre's Coffee Roastery (Westfield & Summit) and -- way back in the 90's -- I owned the Common Ground Cafe in Summit. I have sampled cheese cake from countless commercial bakeries over the years. It was always my favorite type of cake and the ruler by which I judged the bakery. Taste Buddy is legit, folks! CHECK 'EM OUT!“

“Best pour over ever!!☕️☕️☕️🙂“

“is becoming a favorite of mine.“

“Best bagels and great staff. It's my go to spot on the weekends“
