“This is right around the corner from me and encapsukes everything I love about local businesses. Simple enough eats with some interesting twists. Not too pricy with new interesting specials every few weeks. Quickly, it has become a staple that my family and I visit on a monthly basis.“
“I ran into Steph at one of her pop-ups and fell in love with her macarons. Not only are they adorable, but they are DELICIOUS!! I reached out to her for a custom order for my bridal shower favors and they came out so perfect. Everyone was raving about them! Steph was very responsive via email and helped to create an order that fit within the budget I specified. I can't wait to order from her again!“
“This coffee shop is fantastic. The salmon toast and the Belgian avocado egg and cheese were incredibly flavorful, showcasing the freshness of their ingredients. The standout, however, was the coffee, particularly the original French Toast Latte, a must-try. Despite the chilly weather today, the indoor seating area was bustling, but luckily, the friendly and attentive staff made sure everyone felt welcome and well taken care of. Plus, the convenience of credit card acceptance adds to the overall positive experience.“
“Depending on your style and needs, this could be the right place for you. The aesthetic is super fun with seating like airplane seats, bright lights, and really loud music. The coffee is good with coffee-adjacent drinks with fun names. I have never seen the place empty or slow.There are a handful of pastries (croissant, pecan roll, ham and cheese croissant, everything bagel twist, etc.) to accompany the beverages. I was told the pastries come from Le French Dad Boulangerie, so if you like their baked goods, you’ll be pleased.If you’re prone to migraines or if you’re looking for a semi-quiet place to work or have a chat, this is not the place for you. If you want to show friends or visitors a unique place with good coffee, this does the job.“
“Was just walking by and the vibrsnt colors peaked my interest and had ti go in-The best tasting smoothie I've ever ordered. As a guy who lives on chick fil a and chipotle, I can taste the healthiness. Very fresh, very healthy, very happy.Probably falls into the premium product category, but as far as getting what you pay for, it's a 10 out of 10 for me.Will come back again!“
“Best thing to happen to this food strip in AGES!Fresh ingredients and tasty recipes. The price is appropriate for the type of food you're getting, but even more so-the portion sizes and flavor are top notch. We've already stoped in multiple times so here are some of our take aways :-dolmades: honestly, the best l've ever had. And I try them EVERYWHERE. Not cheaply portions either - solid roll and you get 5 in an order. WORTH IT.-pita chips: clearly homemade and SO delicious. They're softer than the ones people are used to getting, but firm enough to really hold some hummusBowl/Wrap ingredients :BASES-med couscous: light and fluffy, not porridge-esque-warm garbanzo beans: Held their integrity during cooking so you're greeted with big pillows of seasoned goodness-farmers mix: more than just Romaine-reminiscent of a garden mix (arugula, kale, etc)SPREADS-zesty Feta: no words can do this justice. Chunky and full of love-roasted eggplant hummus: brought an almost Smokey flavor as opposed to regular hummus-Kalamata olive hummus: recommended by the young man making my dish and WOW so glad he did. I'm not a huuuuuuge olive fan and this was just a nice essence of kalamatas. I was afraid it would be too potent and take over the dish. QUITE THE OPPOSITE! Will never look back from other options!-tzatzki: mild flavor and perfect accompaniment to anything it touchesPROTEINFirst off, they offer the most GENEROUS protein portions.You 'get 2' so they let you do a full scoop of one and a full scoop of the other. Falafel is about 4 balls per serving so you can mix and match with another protein-Moroccan steak : nice sized slices/bits of spiced meat-lemon chicken: you can taste the citrus without it being overpowering. Also in nice sized pieces-chicken shawarma: insta classic ! The meat is almost buttery it's cooked so well-falafel: my personal favorite. You can taste how fresh they are ! No dryness here! Great Big Crunch surrounding a little pillow of happiness. And if you choose this as your protein, be prepared to be AMAZED at how much you get!TOPPINGSUnlike other stores of this kind, the toppings bar is unlimited!!! And that doesn't speak to the quality of the ingredients. Again, everything is so fresh and taken care of properly.Most of this part is self explanatory so I'll just touch on the parts we found interesting:-chickpea croutons: not nearly as hard as expected to be so that was a plus. The shell has a crisp but you won't worry about breaking a tooth-dolmades : if you're afraid to commit to a full order, here's your chance to try it ! You won't be disappointed-tabbouleh : such a lovely addition to the meal you just created. Adds flavor with the mint/parsley/onion heavenly goodness-cabbage: tried both the white and red at different times and both were tasty. Felt that the white took in more of the flavor around the dish while the red just added crunchDRESSINGS-any tahini option is the right answer. If you're not familiar with the taste of tahini to begin with (earthy if you will), then I would recommend a flavored one-roasted red pepper tahini: a gift from above ! There is a slight sweet yet smokey flavor that wraps everything together-garlic jalapeño tahini: not as spicy as you'd imagine so it just gives a nice lil zest to your dish-lemon & olive oil : depending on what you put in your order, this will help with overall texture. If you opted out of wet stuff (tomatoes, lettuce, etc) this is your choice !Lastly,The Earth Burger: like a big ole falafel and WOW did not disappoint. Maintained the integrity of the falafel (crispy outside, soft inside) while giving you the satisfying big bite you're looking for. Only complaint is since it is such a hearty size, maybe a size of tahini or tatziki should accompany it. But if you ask, they’ll give you a side !!Basically, this is a great asset to the area.Kind staff, smiling faces, clean sitting area and portion sizes that will have you stuffed all day!Their in house lemonade is the BEST !“
“The food is amazing! The atmosphere is very chill and homey. The staff were super friendly and gave great recommendations!Had an Oxtail burger - juicy and great flavor! and the Zanzi fries with fried chicken ?And a grilled pound cake! that was recommended to us!Would definitely recommend it!“
“I had the pleasure of visiting today and they did not disappoint! The food came out pretty quickly and tasted delicious. We ordered a buffalo chicken panini and it was cooked to perfection. The buffalo wings were also a hit! Everything was flavorful.“
“Visiting Grumpys for the Pizza Hunters App and was not disappointed. Parking can be tricky. There are only 4 parking spots behind the Pizzeria..I wound up parking across the street and patronizing the Deli as well in the process. I didn't even get all the way inside the door and was greeted immediately with a Hello, Welcome and How are You. Service was excellent and the price point was excellent. A lot of great Pizza for your money. It took me a little to find the words for this Pizza. The Crispy crust is definitely the highlight. Followed by the Sauce and Cheese. Really, the pizza has its own unique style and delivery. It all works. At one point, I thought maybe a little more sauce, since i am a big fan, but once it hits your taste Buds, you realize that it all works perfectly together and that's what makes it unique as a Grumpys Pizza. I give it 5 Pie Ya's.. pie ya, pie ya. Pie ya. Pie ya. Pie ya. I will definitely be back again. Great Job Grumpys..I have to Pizza aside, your Customer Service is top notch as well.“
“Really impressed! We asked Stuff by SJ to make a custom cake for a pizza-themed birthday party. Working with them (Drew) was super easy and stress free. They were helpful, responsive, well priced and even delivered our cake to the restaurant ahead of the party. Everyone complimented the design and taste of the cake so it was a big hit. I’d definitely go back to them for our next cake.“
“My husband and I had just landed from a red- eyed flight from California and "yelped" best breakfast sandwiches. DB Breakfast was at the top of the list, so we had our Uber take us directly there. Not realizing they were not due to open for another 35 minutes; we stood outside in the pitch black deciding what to do next. All of a sudden the door opened and the sweetest lady welcomed us in. She was so kind and prepared coffee for us and took our order. This would never had happened in California. My husband ordered the Taylor Ham sandwich and loved it. First time we had every heard of Taylor ham. I order the bacon sandwich and it was amazing. The food was delicious and the service was top notch.Thank you Vivian for the warm hospitality. We will be back next year. Even if our Giants have another crappy season. Go Blue!!!“
“Greenlife has a foundation in the old-time health store from the 70's. Staff know how to answer questions and can advise on some of the best items to help customers. Wednesdays are $ 1:00 for a shot of wheat grass, can't be better. They also sell Cabbage juice in a glass container; other health stores had no idea of this product.“
“Every single dish was so unique, flavorful, filling and exceeded our expectation. Our favorites were the soft shell grab sandwich CEC sandwich and the thick cut bacon dish. The service was also great for how busy they were at closing time. They even gave us free chicken for our wait. Will definitely be back here soon!!“
“Good music, good vibes...the bulgogi meat is tender and flavorful...ingredients were all fresh...kale fried dumplings were tasty and loved the dipping sauce...there is seating to eat however there were many take out orders...not meant to dine in for a long period of “
“Absolutely amazing food looks just like it does in the picture as well. It was my first time there and Molly helped me pick out what to eat and she was very welcoming and friendly, she definitely upholds a positive atmosphere. Will be coming back.“
“Sunday after Papermill performance. Bright cheery simple family owned. One of the owners who seated us inside was super friendly and informative. Apps and Mains delish well prepared and presented. Mango and Taro drinks, mango pudding all delish. Reasonably priced.Quick service. Wish we lived nearer as this would def.be a regular spot.“
“Love this cozy corny spot for hotdogs! The ppl are greet and the service is superb. ?? It's an easy place to get to from the highway or the back roads. Definitely coming bk for more sauerkraut on my dogs. You'd be surprised how many places don't sell it. The Specialties are unique & delicious!!! Yum. ?Parking: Front and the side street from the corner. ??“
“This is an excellent smoothie and acai bowl place, with a very fitting name! All of the fruit was fresh and smoothies are made to order. I was able to customize a smoothie with almond milk, spinach, banana, Nutella, blueberries, and avocado. It was actually surprisingly good and hit just the spot. So glad to have found this healthy juice/smoothie place in Jersey City!“
“As someone who frequented both the old and new ownership of Devil Dogs, I can confidently say that the recent changes have been nothing short of remarkable. Under the new ownership, this walk-up hot dog joint has undergone a significant transformation, both in terms of service and menu offerings.The enthusiasm of the new owner is palpable, and their eagerness to please customers is evident from the moment you step up to the counter. The service is quick, efficient, and genuinely friendly. It's clear that customer satisfaction is a top priority for them.But the improvements don't stop there. The menu has been revamped, offering a wider variety of options that cater to different tastes and preferences. Whether you're in the mood for a classic chili cheese dog or something more adventurous like a pb&j -topped creation, Devil Dogs has you covered.One of the most refreshing aspects of Devil Dogs is its commitment to staying true to its roots while also embracing innovation. Despite the upgrades, it still retains the charm and simplicity of a classic hot dog joint, making it the perfect spot for a quick bite on the go.And let's not forget about their social media presence. With a good presence on TikTok, Devil Dogs is not only keeping up with the times but also engaging with a younger audience in a fun and interactive way.Overall, Devil Dogs is a shining example of how a beloved local establishment can evolve and thrive under new ownership. I'm thrilled to see that it's still around, and I can't wait to see what delicious creations they come up with next.“
“I did a Google search for a coffee shop and came upon this small, unique shop. I ordered a latte and it was very good. It’s a very small set up with a huge mission. It’s a non-profit to help people with disabilities to have a place to work. What a great cause! I didn’t get any food but the options looked quite yummy.Parking: Very little parking on the street. There is a lot behind the building which had quite a few empty spaces. Have to walk around the building to get to the storefront but not difficult or long walk.“
Pizza •
“Nice selection of pizza, apps, sandwiches and dinners. Pizza was very fresh, made with quality ingredients. Ordered the brick oven with mushrooms and it had a great overall taste and balance including a nice crispness to the crust. The only thing I would do next time is ask for a little less cheese, but that is just a personal preference.“
“had this originally in Flushing, NY. tried the pineapple tea w nata jelly. very refreshing and the jelly was delicious w a nice crunchy texture.so good that I got it again later in Secaucus, NJ. this time was the peach tea w nata jelly. it was still very delicious!disclaimer, they may be a chain but they each make it differently. the nata jelly in NY was shorter, rectangular shape while NJ is longer, like shaven coconut. both were still amazing. would definitely go again!picture: pineapple tea w nata jelly“
“I worked with Ma’s Tea House for a corporate event. Initially we wanted them to come on site at our NYC office location at make fresh bubble tea as people came into the office, which they do offer, but the building had a lot of specific requests which made it difficult to coordinate. We ended up deciding to switch to a delivery of 100 bubble teas in the morning for my event that same afternoon. From start to finish, they were very easy to work with and responsive. I stopped by the shop and Justin worked with me to decide on what would be best for delivery and what flavors would be good options. I even requested they add my company’s stickers to the cups along with their own and they did. Delivery was a little tough (but that was due to the location of the office in midtown, police officers not allowing vehicles to stop, etc.) but we eventually found each other for delivery and they helped bring the bubble teas into the building within the delivery time discussed.As for the bubble teas during the event, we decided on 50 white peach rose with strawberry popping boba and 50 passion fruit with mango popping boba. They were a HUGE hit and mostly gone within the hour from the start of the event which we didn’t expect. We were anticipating some leftovers by the end of the day, but in the end, there were none.Pricing was reasonable and comparable to other quotes that we received. Brian was great to work with. We would look to work with them again in the future!“
“First of all, let me make sure you guys understand that I’m a 29 year Brooklyn native. Not knowing anything about southern cuisine I strolled into Krewe as I explored Jersey City. Before even getting through the doors I’m greeted by calming music leading me into an eye catching environment filled with tasteful art along with festive decorations.Smiles all around taking me to my seat as my stomach began to growl with anticipation. I’m a heavy eater of chicken so I went with the Chicken Po Boy….didn’t regret a thing. The south cut up chicken thigh overflowing out of my sandwich was a sight to see and the juiciness left my tastebuds back flipping. Water for my beverage as I’m a simple man. On a reccomendation I tried the Grit Fries - never knowing what grits truly were. To my surprise the delicious crispy crunchy outer layer was nothing compared to the soft warm cloud in the middle. I was sold, sandwich so flavorful along with a side of deep fried heaven - what more can I ask for from my new lunch spot.Service was amazing as people were warm and friendly. Cooks did an amazing job and the food was complimented by a very clean and vibrant environment. You’ll definitely catch me there again!“
“Pretty good merge between old school JC neighborhood bar and the gentrified implant hipster JC crowd of late. Fun place. Good food, but sometimes inconsistent when the bar/kitchen closes. Great service. Awesome bartenders like Amber, Rinny, Nolan Francis and a few more I am forgetting to list right now.“
“The food was amazing as always. We usually go for a good meal. Great staff one of them took our order a few minutes "late", even though it was quicker than most places. She felt bad and gave us a slice of cake on the house, totally unnecessary. Also they have so many cute decorations and places to sit, the restaurant is so pretty when I go in it feels like a cozy world, where I could just think and relax. It was so kind thank you so much Curiosity cafe, we love you!“
“Absolutely thrilled with my experience at Woops! Tasleem provided exceptional service, going above and beyond to ensure I found exactly what I needed. Her attentiveness and helpfulness made the entire process a joy. I'll definitely be returning for more delightful treats and excellent service!“
Ramen • $$
“Went here for a late lunch and was very pleased by how good all the food was! We got the Shiso juice which was very freshing and the takoyaki. Our favorites were the ramens we had which was the red spicy ramen and the black garlic ramen. Both had great flavor, came with a lot of noodles and the chashu was cooked very well to the point where it was super tender.“
“Had such a nice time here !! First time at American dream mall. Came on a Saturday early afternoon for a quick drink. Service was amazing . Wait staff was super friendly and accommodating , 10 out of 10 . I’ll be back again because the vibes are amazing !! The wine selection was great, I loved the sangria “
“Honestly if you like ipa's this place is bomb!!! We're from another state but if we're back in the area we will definitely stop by again. Only down fall is no food other than pretzels from a local place that are unfortunately no good. But the beer is fantastic and service was great! A five otherwise“
“Came here in the evening to see live music and ordered the French onion soup. The French onion soup is out of this world. Probably the best I have ever had and I order this every where I go (including France). The broth and the bread could not have been better. The service was great despite it being busy. Linda was so hospitable and friendly. Also was so pleasantly surprised to find out I could order an affogato here. Lastly, the chocolate cake was delicious. So glad to discover this place.. Definitely will be back.“
“I love this place the food is so good and they have amazing and kind staff, best food place in all of new jersey!!Vegetarian options: Large vegetarian options that are soooooo goodDietary restrictions: Has great halal food and vegetarian food i dream about this food sometimesParking: Very good and easy parkingKid-friendliness: I always get food from here with my 2 kids“
“One of NJs best! This must visit brewery always has a wide array of beer styles guaranteed to hit the spot. If you're a fan of traditional lagers, pilsners, and bocks, you will especially enjoy this experience. If you're not a fan of beer, they also have a house seltzer with flavor bursts.During the nicer weather, they also boast a spacious biergarten out back.“
“We had lunch here for the first time as a family of 4. The food was very good, clean and hygienic, the attitude was also very good, my daughter even ate 2 large pork chops by herself. The children clamored to come back. I like this restaurant very much.“
“I tried takeout from Lovin' Today, and I was pleasantly surprised. I've never tried vegan chorizo before, so I was kind of worried about whether I'd like it or not. It actually still had the same kind of spice of regular chorizo. To be honest, I didn't seem to notice that much of a difference between this vegan chorizo and regular chorizo. And they gave a lot of it in the taco as well, so I was happy with that. I also got brown rice as a side. It was a hearty portion size of rice. I got vegan naan bread, which tasted delicious and exactly like regular naan bread. I also loved that they sealed the boxes with tape with a drawn heart on it. It's a small detail, but it shows there was care put into putting my meal together. Overall, i was happy with my meal, and I would definitely order from them again.“
“Lovely neighborhood coffee spot in Rutherford. Lots of seatings with artwork on the walls which you can purchase. Bored? Immerse yourself by grabbing a book off the shelf or just stare out the window while being surrounded by plants. Came in the day before Thanksgiving, lots of customers but the efficiency of the barista was impeccable. Manned by one person and kept the customers happy. Lattes and everything croissant was delish. Would definitely return.“
“Been eating At this lovely restaurant for years.. it’s about time to give them the review they deserve.. absolutely amazing and highly recommended to anyone who’s into authentic Mediterranean food.Shout out to Rayan and his brother for incredible services.“
“A true 5/5!!Delicious food.We came in around 12:15 on a Saturday and they were able to immediately seat our party of 6.Service was quick and waiter was helpful.Cute and clean bathroom.The freshly baked pita that we watched go into the big oven was just a cherry on top!The only thing I didn’t love was the turkey bacon but otherwise I’m in love“
“We found this place while working in the area and decided to give it a shot. Located on Lock St in Newark. The outside looks inviting with music playing and seating outside. Inside is newly built with plenty of seats and a bar area. The menu is all online as is the ordering. I ordered the Vermont rooster sandwich which comes with fries .. it's a deep fried boneless chicken thigh on a brioche bun with lettuce tomato and pickles with bacon cooked perfectly. My buddy had the cheese steak which he said was really good and he's a bit picky. Tons of cheese and a horseradish aoli spread. They have salads and pizza as well. Don the owner cooks everything from scratch and it really shows once you dig in! Nicely plated and priced right. They also serve dinner after 4 pm. If you're looking for good food cooked with love and you're in the area stop in and I think you'll be glad you did.Wheelchair accessibility: Ground level on the parking lot side.“
“A selection of 17 CBs on tap, including gluten-free options. The prices are reasonable, ranging from $7 to $8. A flight of four for $15, served uniquely on a small roller coaster! The brewing tanks are fine. And don't miss indulgent Stout, boasting a rich flavor with a 13% alcohol content.“
“We came here for dinner on a Sunday night and it was good. We ordered the following:Raj Kachori ChaatChinese BhelChicken SizzlerChicken AchariOverall all the dishes were flavorful and had a spicy kick to the dishes. There was definitely flavor and quantity was be than enough. Will come here again next time. Thank you!“
“The service was quick and attentive despite being the only worker available. Everything in the location was clean and delicious. Overall, thankful for this late night bite! It was delicious, cost efficient, and a great source for ice-cream craving satisfaction!“
“Omg why have I just found this place! What an awesome ice cream shop! I absolutely loveeee the variety of flavors not only regular flavors but the awesome selections for vegan and non dairy! This alone deserves around of applause for the food allergy folks!! Having multiple options available AND creative flavors for other dietary needs makes this place such a gem! I hope this continues! The ice cream is so creamy and delicious. I tried the raspberry oat milk and Cookie Monster and neither disappointed. I also love that you can try samples and fit an ice cream flavor that best suits you! Tiny shop but excellent quality ice cream.“
“Finally…authentic, delicious Dominican food that I don’t have to go into NYC to order. My gathering was such a hit , catering was the best! The pictures won’t do this place justice. It’s the taste of a hole in the wall I missed so much. From their chicharron (fried pork rinds), to classic mangu (mashed plantains) with cheese, eggs + sausage. I’m drooling just looking through my food pictures from them. This review is long overdue. Trey it for yourself you won’t regret it!! Did I mention how friendly they all are? The service was great too!“
“I got an assortment of gourmet cookies for a party and they were a hit!! The oreo cookies, red velvet and crème brulé was amazing and everyone who tried them kept asking where I got them from. I look forward to trying the other pastries ?“
“The owner was very welcoming. The place looks and feels like an authentic Argentinian restaurant. The food portions are plentiful and tastes amazing!!! There is a sharing fee. There was a Lil misunderstanding with the bill, tax and tip seem to be included already. But this place is definitely a go back to.“
“Great gelato flavors, great ice-cream and Italian ice. Classic flavors. However; I’m specifically here to rave about the cream puffs. They make the best cream puffs I have ever tasted. The fillings are absolutely amazing, fluffy. They are light and refreshing; and addicting. Highly recommend the pistachio flavor. I constantly crave these cream puffs, I go out of my way to get them, and send other people to get them for me. Great service as well, always very welcoming.“
“A Nice Lil Twist to Your Standard Halal... Offering Kale and Spinach and a Few Other Items Not Available Typically... I Split the Greens w Rice... Chicken Was Flavored Well... AND Why NOT Have Grilled Onion and Raw Pickled Onions As MyS3lf... Also They Offer a Thick N Sweet BBQ Sauce Along Side the Standard White... Polite Young Staff...“
“I love Dario's Tex Mex, the first time I got put on this spot I couldn't stop going back, I put my mom on this spot and she now loves it, the owner is a charm very friendly and the food is soo good please don't sleep on Newark NJ food spots we definitely have some hidden gems here ???“
“The staff, the atmosphere, the owners, it is a very good place to eat and the girls who serve Mariana and Cristal are very attentive in case we need anything else, every time we have been there there is a very good, clean atmosphere. And highly recommended, I am glad that there are places like This place is quick to serve and I gladly recommend it.Parking: Good spot“
