50 Best Cafes near Colonia

“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!“

The portions were very hearty, flavorful and Definately worth the price.. the pineapple ginger home made brew box was amazing. With this heat it cooled us down.

“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“

“Tiny location, packs a pearl.... comedy. ?I love their Thai Tea Boba and their waffles are amazing ?? whether you like croffles or their house made (?) batter.

“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!“

“Even after living here so long, NJ remains full of surprises. Rosa's is a spot that feels impossible - in between two doors at the Toyota service center, they're serving food that tops most diners I've been to. It almost feels like it shouldn't exist. Love that, Thank you for the great eats! I'll be back!“

“Great cafe and caterer! Use them for all my catering needs.“

“We had a delicious food at this place today. I highly recommend it.
The chicken with vegetables was delicious
And the expresso coffee jus as expected.
Kenia was our server and she was formidable.
I’ll definitely be back to try all other lunch specials.“

“Great spot! Feels like a hidden gem- no fuss, very reasonable prices, great quality, good assortment of pastries and beverages, gentle music, clean bathroom, and clearly a local favorite based on the customers we saw there. The staff also pays great attention to detail and are so friendly and kind.“

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

“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.“

“Great cause for our young people to learn a trade and deal with the public. A few people from Evergreen Senior Center try to get there for breakfast at least once a month, Food is very good and reasonably priced.“

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

“We want here after it looked intersesting. We have tried the tres leches caramel and pistachio ones. The caramel one is a deification 10/10. Not to sweet and super light cake. A delightful treat I always plot with someone after dinner. The pistachio one is like a 7/10. Honestly could use more sweetness since the nuts made it kind of bland and bitter. They have a lot of variety but never tried it. The interior is very nice and have these beautiful Turkish lamps. Would reccommend!“

“Best tacos 🌮 I’ve ever had in my life and I’m quite the picky eater. 5 stars ⭐️“

“I loveeee this protein shop! I’ve been to many protein places in the area, as well as out of state, and this is my favorite protein shake shop in NJ. The shakes are so delicious! I also love that they’re open at night to curb my nighttime snacking after my workout 😁 The owner, Maya, is amazing. Her customer service is top tier every time I visit after my workouts. Her warm smile, attentiveness, and genuine want to make her customers happy make me continue to choose her shop over any in NJ. I will definitely recommend this place to friends/family!“

“Freddy customer service is excellent 👍🏾“

“They have amazing vegetarian and vegan options on both the food menu and within the bakery. Everything is so so so good!“

“Excelente servicio! La comida estaba muy deliciosa y el personal nos atendió con mucha amabilidad.“

“I recommend all sandwiches but my favorite one is the chicken Caesar ciabatta sandwich. A salad but sandwich style. It’s so good it’s a must get. Workers there are friendly. I come here often for the corn muffins there the best I’ve ever had.“

“What a cute place!! The owner was so sweet and greeted me warmly when I came in. She gave me a great run down of all the things Craft since it was my first time there and helped me choose. Parking was super easy, parked right across the street with no problem. I got the waffle, blue splash and my friend got the jolly rancher. Very tasty omg I will be back here, wish I lived closer lol“
