“Awesome as always. This place is a hidden gem if you want NY City food without having to drive to the City. We sat near the fireplace and it was warm and very intimate. Food was delicious and beautifully presented and staff were super engaging taking care of our needs while keeping the robust dining crowd happy and entertained.“

“Hello we we're on our way up to Connecticut from maryland and we needed a break and I said to my daughter laurel. Ask your phone where there are gourmet sandwiches & etc.This is where we landed and we were impressed!Yum! The quality of the Turkey sandwich I had was a winner. I like to stop at places like this. First they are not a chain. Small business needs attention everywhere. They have created a cozy but well laid out flow. This kinda makes you want to look into the building further. There was seating and more coziness! We couldn't stay had to get back on the road. We have another trip in the spring to make and we will stop and dine in next time!!!“

“My wife and I stopped in and picked up some desserts. They had a lot of variety, and everything seemed so fresh. Everyone was very helpful. The croissants were great and crispy. The carrot cake was also one of the better ones I've had. Overall, it's a great place for dessert, and I highly recommend it.“

“My experience was amazing! The cake was delicious, beautifully decorated, and customer service was truly outstanding. I will definitely be buying here again. I got the guava Dominican Cake and it was so gooood. Definitely recommend! The place itself was so clean and super cute☺️“

“This is my new go-to spot!!!! The ambiance is so relaxing and it’s feels like such a safe space. I tend to go on solo dates and this costumer service here made me feel like acknowledge and attended to while still giving me my space to alone. I was served by Daniel and his service was amazing!! He recommended me one of their mock tails which was divine (social sipper for anyone who wants to try it) it has pomegranate juice, cranberry juice, a hint of orange juice, and ginger, with a little dash of cinnamon!!!“

“Estime's Cafe in Colonia isn't just another breakfast spot; it's a celebration of Haitian culture and culinary artistry on a plate. From the moment you step inside, the warm aroma of spices and the friendly smiles of the staff transport you to a world of delicious possibilities.The menu at Estime's is a symphony of fresh ingredients and bold flavors. I dove headfirst into the Pastrami Egg Benedict, a unique twist on the classic dish that had my taste buds doing a joyful jig. The pastrami was perfectly seasoned and tender, harmonizing beautifully with the creamy hollandaise and perfectly poached egg.But the true star of the show was the Fluffy Lemon Ricotta Pancakes. Now, I'm not usually a pancake person, but these were revelatory. Light and airy, bursting with zesty lemon zest and ricotta's creamy goodness, they were a revelation. Each bite was a cloud of happiness, and I dare you to find someone who wouldn't be won over by them. (Seriously, I am not a pancake person, and even I'm singing their praises!)Estime's Cafe is more than just delicious food; it's an experience for the senses. The friendly staff, the vibrant vibe, and the infectious energy make you feel welcome and appreciated. It's a place where you can relax, savor the flavors, and enjoy the fun upbeat music that they have playing through the speakers first thing in the morning.I cannot wait to come back here and try their other offerings, I have my eye on their Amaretto Brioche French toast for my next time.“

“Kirshenbaum Baking Co - delish! Consistently fresh and delectable I love the mint chocolate cookie and had the pleasure of trying the Chocolate Mud Pie. Hands down the best Mud Pie simple and flavorful. Always a great spot to stop and pick up something to bring to a friends or a treat for. yourself!“

“Everything about this café makes me always come back. I have been here a few times and I am never disappointed. I was there just today to have their delicious baklava pistachio cheesecake and it's always so worth the calories. Their food is also delicious!!. The owners are very kind..“

“Victoria’s presentation was very informative. Her cake was very tasty. I love the frosting and the different flavors that she incorporated into it. I love the way she prepared it. I learned a lot of new tips and tricks about piping and the correct way and how to do it. It was overall a great experience.10/10 would recommend.“

“I was there yesterday for breakfast, the place was super nice and warm, they have it for breakfast or lunch. I ordered this avocado toast with salmon, a total delight. I'm going back to continue trying menu options that look great and I love that they have fruit smoothies made on the spot. 10 “

“Forgot to add context to the rating.Halo is what Springfield has neededso bad for so long, and every year since they have some it is just a reminder of how great they are. Family friendly, fast, quality coffee, food and ingredients make for a mainstay for us. That's all before you know about all of their community engagement making them truly apart of Springfield.“

“It's been a week and I'm still thinking about the Brioche Custard - Cream. It's a pillowy doughnut, filled with a vanilla bean custard and has a croissant top. I didn't intend to eat the whole thing, but I did. Sorry, not sorry! I also ordered the big coconut. It's a tender brioche bun that is long and very lightly sweet. It was excellent! I sampled the Matcha tiramisu and was wowed by it. I got a Jasmine latte and also loved it. Everything I tried was fantastic. I plan to return soon. The person that helped me was so kind and patient. The store is very organized and has a great vibe. It's an Asian bakery, that also serves tea and coffee. Everything is individually wrapped, and you bring what you want to purchase up to the counter. Their desserts are so fresh and different. I'm typically not a fan of Asian desserts, but these were best in class.“

“This is, hands down, one of the best bakeries I have ever been to! Their pastries are so fresh and taste delicious. My favorite is the sweet cheese croissant. They also have some of the best coffee! The staff there are great, respectful, and friendly. You cannot beat their prices. This has been my go-to place every morning for the past two weeks now!“

“I ordered a cake with one of the wonderful owners, Angie for my party. The cake was gorgeous and delicious when the other owner Alexa brought it out when I picked it up. All my guests loved the cake without knowing it was gluten free and celiac safe. I also sampled some of the pastries and lattes and will be a new stop for me. So happy to have found this treasure!“

“Atmospheric breakfast (and lunch) cafe in the train station. Wonderful historic photos of trains cover the walls. Food is very good and portions are generous. Presumably commuters take-out in the morning, but there is a nice seating area. Definitely worth a special trip for a nice breakfast. Dedicated parking.“

“Damn this place is hitting it out of the park. Food service and atmosphere. Do yourself a favor and check it out. Had a prosciutto with tomato and mutz sandwich which was just amazing. Wife loved the vegan pizza with eggplant and red onion on top as well as her vegan salad. I tasted the pizza and it was really awesome btw.“

“Such a beautiful coffee shop with incredible drinks and food options! My lattee was so delicious, perfectly made! The chicken empanadas were out of this world! So fresh! Paola who was the barista was so sweet. Loved everything about my experience, highly recommend!“

“Twisted Tulip is a cute and cozy cafe with a very relaxing vibe. I ordered an iced latte with almond milk and the latte of the day 'Vanilla Rose Latte'. The Latte of the day was good but the rose/vanilla aspect was very not very pronounced. The other latter was also good. They offer a good variety of drinks, pastries, sandwiches, etc., The decor was unexpected (graffiti styles) with the name being twisted tulip, but it was a bright fun look. They have stools along a glass window, as will as tables/chairs and a cozy corner with a little couch, and a shelf of books (all very inviting) They also have outdoor seating but there seems to be a lot of construction happening around the building...hopefully it will be done by the time its warm enough to sit outside. The staff was friendly and the music was great; Overall a great experience. I'll definitely be back and recommend folks to stop by.Parking: Lots“

“Great restaurant! Set back a little bit from the road, but it's worth searching for!The service was exceptional: very professional and efficient. The food was very good! Creative dishes and seasoned very well. Portions were perfect! We had breakfast burrito and shredded chicken avocado toast. We shared the waffles that were not as crispy as we would like but still had great flavor and fresh berries on top. Loved the space which is very open and airy and not over crowded. I can't wait to go back to try more menu items.Highly recommend!“

“Small menu done well! The brunch is to die for but fair warning, the location is small so plan ahead if you are trying to dine-in. We shared a waffle that will haunt my dreams until I get another and my lentil burger with mint chutney was fantastic. The Barista game there was also on point. Dirty chai or the Honey cardamom latte are strong picks.“

“Got a combo shake and energy drink, plus protein donuts. I requested a chocolate strawberry with banana (chocolate covered strawberry banana shake?) - and got the large. Texture was great, and as for a protein shake it wasn’t too bad on taste. For the energy drink I got peach pomegranate shake- which did keep me energized throughout the day. I loved the taste, but I did happen to get some of the grainy, energy mix in the bottom. The donuts were spectacular- I couldn’t even tell they were protein.The owner was spectacular, even though I took a few minutes to decide what I wanted. She also asked about add-ins(chocolate chips in the donuts, chocolate sauce on top, whipped cream?) which I appreciated.Atmosphere was good- one of their menu TVs was glitching and not showing the full menu(I like to peruse), and the music was a wee loud for my taste but the location has ample seating and relaxing chairs.I’d love to see pictures showcasing some of the menu items & a slightly expanded menu. I heard there was coffee but I did not see any on the menu(again, screen was broken maybe it was on there?) I’d love to see green shakes, maybe a few more snacks?Overall cute place, will stop in again since I’m so close and the service is great.Kid-friendliness: Kid friendly space!“

“Food options change They offer daily lunch specials and have the best homemade ice cream sandwiches. They offer takeout of one individual meal or full dinners for the family that will look and taste like you cooked it yourself. Not a lot of room to eat in just 1-2 tables if you are lucky enough to have one. You can always take it home to enjoy the great food, quiches, salads , and sandwiches. They also do big party catering.“

“I stopped by Taekwon coffee for the first time yesterday and it was pretty good! I ordered a hazelnut latte for myself and a black iced coffee for my manager. The lady who made my drinks (possibly the owner) was a sweetheart. Give it a try!“

“This place is delightful. My go to is the Portuguese rolls breakfast sandwich. It's the best in the area. The empanadas are pretty good too. Pastel de nata ::drool emoji:: say less. You can't leave here without a dessert. Stop here if you want good eats“

“YOU MUST GO HERE FOR DINNER!!!!!!! Not only is this the only place nearby serving East African food, it is so good that it is akin to food heaven! The staff are incredible! And for dessert you can get amazing homemade ice cream! So please please please do yourself a favor and try the Eritrean food! You will not be disappointed!“

“My family and I love this place. It’s the only place we go for breakfast. The food is delicious and fresh. I always order the same dish (Florentine Benedict’s) The service is great. Everyone is very attentive. They have outdoor seating and parking.“

“Went in to get a specialty sandwich from the pictures, but the place seems to be under new management and is now a Mexican cafe. (They mentioned still having to take down the menu with the specialty items.)Decided to go with breaded chicken torta and don't regret it at all. The bread is almost pillow soft and the avocado, black bean spread, & oxacan string cheese layered on top of the chicken made it an incredibly refreshing sandwich. And the crispiness of the chicken is on a whole new level too.“

“My mom got a catering order from here for Christmas Eve and everyone in the family raved about how it was the best deli sandwiches we've ever had!!! Amazing quality meats and cheese and amazing customer service !!!! Cedar grove has been a family favorite for years!“

“I had an absolutely delightful experience at this cozy restaurant! The staff is incredibly friendly, creating a warm and welcoming atmosphere. The ambiance is so comfy, making it the perfect place to unwind. And let's talk about the food – it's simply delicious! Definitely a five-star gem!“

“We stopped in for a quick coffee and small bite after a church event. Because we had such limited time, I ordered accordingly. I was impressed by the bunny muffin and slightly underwhelmed by the avocado toast. However, my toddler loved the toast, everything bagel seasoning and all. I would be happy to go back for another try when I have more time to enjoy the food offerings as well as the beautiful ambiance. It's a bright and cheerful space, very cozy and inviting. And the framed Hermès scarves are lovely to admire.“

“Ordered from this place on Doordash to try it for the first time and it did not disappoint at all. Yeah it may be pricy though the quality and freshness of the food is exceptional especially the soup. The chicken noodle soup tasted phenomenally delicious plus the chicken aioli sandwich was satisfying especially for lunch. Definitely plan on ordering from here every now and then.“

“A great place to stop for a drink or treat! I've been a few times to eat in the Cafe and ordered something different each time. The marshmallow latte is delicious and waffles are made fresh to order. The bubble tea is delightful and the boba/tapioca pearls were also really fresh. Looking forward to stopping by again!“

“They’ve definitely upped their game. The place is maintained a lot better (cleaner) than a few summers ago. The young men who serve you are really friendly and on top of things. The food has always been good . I’m glad I went back and gave them another try. It’s nice that we can just walk to town and have another spot to eat breakfast. You should definitely try their coffee beans and bring some home. I recommend the Toasted Almond flavor.“

“Let me start by saying WOW! What an amazing place for healthy amazing food. I ordered the Blat sandwich because I love the ingredients in it I ordered it early morning and I asked for an egg in it and let me tell you it's the most delightful “breakfast “ sandwich EVER. Believe me when I tell you. You won't regret ordering it. What a great day I am having LOL!! The bread it's delicious everything about it it's just yummy!Parking: There's is city parking across the street from the restaurantKid-friendliness: There's a fountain in the outside sitting area beautiful place“

“Of all the quick service food places that I've been, Lyd's Cafe is one of my favorites. I had such a pleasant experience; from the moment I was greeted to the second I received my order. I ordered the chicken salad sandwich which was delicious. Also, the waffles w/ fresh fruit was BOMB! Thanks to the lovely chef:)“

“From the moment you walk in there is an earthy, peaceful and welcoming vibe in this place. The service is friendly and very helpful providing details on every option to narrow down your choices. With a broad menu of protein-packed teas and shakes, every offering serves such a genrous dose of protein that can serve as an entire meal replacement and should only be had once a day! Wow, now that's a selling point! And the taste is delicious... almost too good to be so healthy. The price is cheap but the taste is rich... take the whole family to experience this place without breaking through bank and leaving everyone satisfied!“

“Boxwood is amazingly spacious, warmly lit, and with comfortable seating ranging in tables, high top tables and bar stools, and cozy choices at the windowfront. The drink menu is creative with seasonal specials as well a milieu of regular caffeine requests. I opted for an iced vanilla cinnamon latte. Eventhough the weather is getting chilly, it's impossible for me to transition to hot coffee just yet so no judgement, thank you! Espresso was quality and the tres leches donut was a dream. To balance, I split a turkey and cheese croissant with my partner. It was brought warm, cheesy melted, was especially comforting. Service was stealth and kind. They took the order thoughtfully and my items were ready in less than 5 minutes. All came deliciously prepared. There was decent seating while people were studying and chatting, a great space to rest and relax with good seating for those who are disabled or in chronic pain too. My visit was practically perfect, but the prices are steep with $6+ for a small latte. If you need any coffee accountrements like filters, pour over materials, fredh espresso beans, this is also a great spot.“

“I had probably the best chocolate croissant I have ever had in my life here. It was filled with chocolate buttercream instead of the usual chocolate batons and it was so rich, silky smooth and a perfect compliment to the buttery, flaky pastry. Would eat again every day of my life probably“

“The food here is great, I really enjoy their coffees as well. Not to mention for the price, you’re getting what’s its worth. My favorite though has to be the goat cheese sandwhich they have. Ultimately I wasn’t a fan of goat cheese until I tried that sandwhich . The customer service here has always been great, can’t wait to stop by again!“

“The food is just so amazing. My family and I go here for breakfast even though it’s out of our way. The service and staff is the best. Get there early or risk waiting, because everyone who go there once knows that Sweet Basil is the best.“
