“Delicious Açai Bowls and Smoothies, I also love their Chai Tea Latte. Cute and cozy interior design. The owners are super friendly. My new go to place for a healthy treat!“

“Don Oscar’s Cafe is not the usual coffee shop in town. Here, you can find authentic Costa Rican food, and a whole different variety of it too. Their staff are so welcoming, as soon as you walk through the door they receive you with a smile and are ready to take your order. The food is absolutely delicious, honestly, it’s the closest taste to Costa Rica in the state. The atmosphere is calm, not hectic, it’s somewhere you can go to just get away from work on your breaks. Make sure to try their pumpkin spice latte, they have it all year long and you can’t leave without trying their pastries. You will for sure find yourself going back for more.“

“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.“

“I love their chai. I've been here a few times, and have had my fair share of chai at the "trendy" spots, and will say this is definitely up there. Their desserts are pretty great as well. I'd definitely recommend this spot for anyone wanting great desi chai. ?“

“I recently visited Koko Loko cafe in New Brunswick and had the pleasure of trying their Pistachio Latte and Caramel Latte. While both drinks were enjoyable, the Pistachio Latte truly stole the show.

The Pistachio Latte was perfectly balanced, with a rich, nutty flavor that wasn’t overly sweet but still indulgent. It had a creamy texture that complemented the espresso beautifully, making every sip an absolute delight. It’s one of those drinks that leaves you wanting more even after the last drop.

The Caramel Latte was good as well, with a classic sweetness and smooth finish, but it didn’t quite compare to the unique and standout flavor of the Pistachio Latte. If you’re deciding between the two, I’d highly recommend going for the pistachio—it’s a game changer!

The ambiance of the shop was cozy, and the service was friendly and efficient. I’ll definitely be returning to try more of their menu, but the Pistachio Latte is already a favorite.

5/5 stars for the Pistachio Latte alone!“

“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. All smoothies I've had have been delicious as well as their Dolgona(hope I'm spelling that right) coffee boba! SUPPORT THIS BUSINESS??tons of parking btw!“

“Amazing please to spend the evening and have amazing food, waited by the most amazing staff and owners.“

“me and my best friend have been coming here almost everyday since trying the BLT (with spicy aioli) & avocado toast. the iced latte is also amazing. the owner & myron are the best as well as very welcoming every time that we come in. definitely would give this place a try.“

“Effes is one of the best hidden gems of New Brunswick. The coffee has me wondering where they source their beans from because it is so rich and flavorful. Have to give a shoutout to the barista Jules. The coffee she makes is consistently great and has never disappointed. Her service is outstanding and her energy perks everyone up. She is the reason Effes is my favorite New Brunswick 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!“

“Nice atmosphere. Both pictures groups. I love Pink floyd beetles“

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

“Amazing food and service.“

“Very quaint place with a lovely selection of items. Their serradurra and pasteis de nata were the best I've had in a long time, so delicious! The pastry of the pasteis de nata had a lovely swirl and was deliciously crisp and the custard was perfect. The serradurra is chef's kiss 10/10. Loved everything I picked up and will definitely be back!“

“stopped by with my daughter for her first Boba friendly staff and kind enough to explain. to her the options yummy tea very refreshing on a hot day. A nice casual place to go while walking around Somerville.“

“Popped in for lunch when picking up something nearby. I was really impressed! Nothing fancy just good food! Staff were so friendly and seemed to know everyone. I'll definitely be back!“

“it's such a cute place! it has a very homey feel to it and there are so many nice plants around. We got boba from there, and it was a bit too sweet, but still very tasty. The lady at the counter was so nice though, and gave each of the drinks a matching straw and a cute sticker.“

“This bakery is an excellent addition to Westfield. It is something unique and different from other bakeries in the area. The products are much more refined than other establishments and on par with deserts, which you would find at a celebrity chef's restaurant, minus the cost. I find the cookies delicious and better tasting than any other I have seen around town, and the service is impeccable. The bakery is inviting, clean, and nostalgic for old-school charm. My kids can't stop coming here. Thank you for choosing our town to lay down your roots!“

“I loved the purple valentines cupcake ~. The red velvet was very dry ~ topping was good. The caramel topping was also very good but again the cake was dry. The cupcakes would be a hit if the cake was moist ~ so dry . Might try again. Beautiful toppings ~ just wish cake part tasted better“

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

“Daily stop spot for coffee and breakfast catching the morning trains out of New Brunswick. Right across the street from the courthouse for jurors who need to catch a quick lunch.
Fun staff, always friendly and inviting. Big selection of wraps and gyros.

Vegetarian options: Several vegetarian options offered.

Parking: Paid Street parking is right outside. Garage parking is across the street.

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

“We love the atmosphere, the delicious homemade soups, main dishes, and desserts at the lovely Friends Friend's Cafe :) the jazz evenings outdoors, the chess-playing and studying students & Mo, Josephine, and Hannah with the heart of gold for all furry friends who are welcome inside the cafe, and, of course, on the patio <3 <3 <3 Below is our Rover enjoying his doggie meal and a comfy bed at the cafe :)“

“The food is delicious and the atmosphere is great. Service can be a tad iffy at times. They'll offer you cilantro sauce with the empanadas but not tell you it's $0.50. You ask for an egg with waffles, they give you two (and charge for two just to be clear). I wish that they were a little more clear about that kind of stuff.

The food really does make up for it though. Everything is super fresh, well made and seasoned. The empanadas give Division Street Cafe a run for their money. The waffles are proper waffles, not the Belgian ones everyone else has, and it's all just vibrant. The decor is really fun, and the people who work there are friendly. The price can be a bit nuts. Both times I've gone it's cost us $50 to feed two people, with one entree each, a drink for one of us, and a single empanada. That's a lot. The desserts are $10 each which is a bit nuts. I know everyone is charging a lot nowadays, but I don't have to be happy about it.“

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

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

“The young man was an excellent example of great customer service. He spoke English, Italian, and Spanish. He explained how words are supposed to be pronounced in Italian. He let us sample a couple flavors. You could taste how fresh and natural the ingredients used are. The rice balls were cooked to perfection ?“

“Great food friendly service“

“We have been coming to Okie Pokii for years but this time I have to leave a review. Food are still really good. There's a promotion for free snow ice or waffle with $50+ purchase and dining in. We picked the mango snow ice. We thought it was just going to be a small sample sized snow cup, but it's not! It's a full massive size (look at the picture). Kids were so happy about it ? the flavor was also very good ?“

“Panera Bread's highlights:

1. Health-focused menu: Organic and natural products are used.
2. Fresh ingredients: The menu features fresh vegetables, fruits and meats.
3. Gluten-free and vegan options: Alternatives suitable for special diets are offered.
4. Breakfast and lunch options: Eggs, salads, sandwiches and soup.
5. Wi-Fi and comfortable environment: Provides customers with a comfortable work and social space“

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

“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 food, and the ambiance is beyond reproach.“

“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.“

“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.“

“(Translated by Google) Excellent service and quality food, it also has buffet-style food and food for all kinds of events ???? Recommended(Original)Excelente servicio y calidad en la comida, también cuenta con comida tipo buffet y comida para todo tipo de eventos ???? Recomendado“

“Is it crazy to call this the most underrated place in Piscataway?? No one knows about this gem inside the YMCA but their food is super tasty and fresh. Their açai bowls and smoothies are refreshing and delicious and perfect for the summer. Also this might be crazy but their chicken tenders might be the best I've ever had!! They're perfectly crispy and juicy and tender all at the same time. Would definitely recommend especially if you're at the Y hanging out or at the gym for a treat after!“

“Amazing food and service.“

“Panera never disappoints... but some locations just put that extra little bit of awesome that makes them extraordinary. The staff and service are so warm welcoming and wonderfully competent.“
