“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.“

“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!“

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

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

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

“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.“

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

“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.“

“Had brunch the other day! Very cutesy, very demure! Cozy spot with outdoor seating as well. Food is fresh, taste is fantastic. They truly care about their customers by providing good quality food which not only is tasteful, but beautifully presented!“

“Recently we tried Red Sea Cafe's Ethiopian and Eritrean dishes and were so pleased with the results. We used to have to travel 40 minutes minimum to get Ethiopian food, but are so happy to have this new nearby option! The woman making the food came out several times throughout our meal to check on us and our experience and was very pleasant. Everything we had was delicious and we left every plate completely clean by the end of the meal.

We've also had South Street Creamery's ice cream on numerous occasions and would recommend that as well!“

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

“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 ! 💙🩵“

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

“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!“

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

“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! 🇫🇷🥖🥐🥮🧁🎂💕“

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

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

“Terrific breakfast and brunch spot. You will wait for a table and it will be worth it. The food us scrumptious. They don't present themselves as such, but it's actually Polish American food, and it's great.

Kid-friendliness: Kids menu does not include a drink and they charged full price for a kids lemonade.“

“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.“

“I come here a lot! I've never left a review, but today... I ordered a salad. I always order it with no tomatoes. First, I don't like them and second, I sometimes get itchy after eating them. So, in general I just avoid them. Today they put tomatoes in it. I got to the counter with the salad and receipt. They said they couldn't take it back, that they would have to toss it. So, I kept it and waited for them to prepare a new one.. When it was ready, an asian lady that I had never seen, asked me to bring it back.. She asked if I was allergic, to which I responded "yes, but I can give it to someone at work" I don't remember exactly how the conversation went but she asked me to give it back. Which is fine. I technically did not pay for it. However, I kind of could not believe it.. I asked if she wanted me to give it back to make sure I heard her right. She said yes.. So, I did. My point is, would you rather toss a salad because YOU made a mistake, as opposed to letting someone else eat it?? Is a free salad really going to make ANY difference to a business like Panera Bread? I felt so disappointed!! Not because of the salad itself. Again, I did not pay for it and my purpose was not to get a free salad.. It was more like sadness.. What kind of person prefers to throw out a salad when somebody else can actually eat it? How miserable do you have to be?? Anyway... Like I said, I come here a lot. They've gotten my order wrong a few times, but I've never said anything because who cares? If it's not a big deal, I just eat it. In this case, I could not and that's why I brought it to their attention.. In general, two men that I think are the managers are nice and attentive. The rest of the staff is ok. Place is clean. Music can be a bit too loud.“

“Cute costa Rican 🇨🇷 spot.
Very friendly and welcoming.
The empanada are $5 but if you are a big empanada fanatic like me, you should definitely try it. The chicken and beef are my favorite. They are stuffed... no air pocket whatsoever. Pulled beef and pulled chicken.

The food was good but a bit blend. Just need a little more seasoning on the eggs especially. Maybe salt and pepper may solve it for some but I needed more. Lol

I got the breakfast tacos and added chicken to it. The chicken were just added on top and the were big pieces of chicken. I had to diced it myself to mesh it all together. You must be quick with the tacos or the tortilla gets very soft and makes it impossible to hold.

Overall I enjoy my empanada and took my leftover which I spice up the next day on the stove.

If in the area again, i would visit this place for their empanada and delicious ice coffee.

You can bring your dog here. Very dog friendly and I thing they were doing photoshoot with the dogs when I visited.“

“Quick and simple to pop in, grab my order and get out. The kiosk likes to sell you more stuff, though, no "quick" checkout there. They were out of plain tea, so opted for papaya.

When back for an unsweet tea, it tasted like coffee water. Not great, but they did reach back out when I made a note to mgmt.“

“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!“

“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.“

“is becoming a favorite of mine.“

“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.“

“Best pour over ever!!☕️☕️☕️🙂“

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