“Food was very tastefully Nice portion“

“Koko Loko Coffee is such a calm little escape.
I had the pistachio latte and it was fantastic balanced, nutty, and not overly sweet.
The barista was warm and welcoming, which really adds to the overall vibe. Inside, it’s bright, minimal, and quietly buzzing, perfect for reading, working, or chatting without yelling over noise.
Loved the long communal tables and clean, modern décor. If you’re looking for a peaceful spot with great coffee, this place absolutely deserves a 5-star stop.“

“This place is amazing so glad I found it! Was in the hunt for a good smoothie place. My hunt is officially over. five stars recommend.“

“A gem tucked within a perfectly walkable distance from Rutgers and downtown spots. Their grilled chicken sandwich is a savory standout: juicy, spiced just right, and served warm with a satisfying crunch. I love to pair it with a cup of Kashmiri Kahwa which is fragrant saffron-infused tea that’s both soothing and subtly floral. The ambience blends South Asian charm with modern comfort, making it ideal for both quiet solo visits and lively catch-ups.“

“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.“

I had halloumi cheese seasoned with zatar and well grilled with honey and I had a cortada to drink. the whole experience was so perfect and it really made me feel so satisfied. The guy who served me was very calm and pleasant. this makes you at ease. one should definitely go to this place for great mediterranean food.“

“Loved the shroom sando and the cold brew“

“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!“

“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“

“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!“

“Beautiful place . Excellent service - fantastic food and beautiful atmosphere !!!“

“I was really impressed. The food was full of flavor — everything was well prepared, and the staff was super friendly. The place itself is a bit small, so I wouldn’t go with a big group, but when the weather’s nice they do have outdoor seating.

The food was honestly delicious. Their V-strami was excellent, the gyro sandwich was amazing, and the vegan crabless cake sandwich was really creative with great taste. It’s a bit of a drive if you’re in central Jersey, but definitely worth the trip. I’m also looking forward to trying their all-day breakfast — I saw them making pancakes and they looked incredible.

Expect a little wait since everything is made to order, and meals might come out as they’re finished. Other than that, it’s a really good spot and I highly recommend it.“

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

“What a gem! I hadn’t been here in four years and decided to go back with my goddaughter. we both had an amazing time. The service was prompt, the staff was super friendly, and the decor is absolutely beautiful; it feels like stepping into another world. We shared the calamari to start, then she had the lamb adana (which she devoured!), and I had the chicken adana, which I loved. Everything was cooked perfectly and full of flavor. We ended with kanzimbidi, and she swore it tasted like Dubai chocolate! She’s already asking to go back,maybe for Mother’s Day. Highly recommend!“

“I absolutely love Wegmans and their cafe. They have amazing coffee, desserts and sandwiches. You won't be disappointed. Excellent customer service too. Ample parking and there's never a wait.

“Great food !! I definitely recommend this place 👍🏻“

“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!“

“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 :)“

“Lifehack - although you need a membership to use the facilities inside the YMCA, anyone can come in and get their snack fix (workout optional).

Its a small cafe, but offers enough essentials. They sell pizzas, empandas, burgers, fries... as well healthy juice bar and variety drink options.

But their main feature is the acai bowls - acai, pitahaya or coconut base options. There's a handful of pre-built choices (loaded with fruits, granola, nutella or peanut butter) or create your own. Quick and efficient and beautifully prepared... our Berrytella and Dragon Kiwi bowls came out fresh and delicious.

Will definitely be back, and might even convince me to actually use the gym.“

“delicious food, great service!!!!!“

Lots of options and each one was delicious! Reasonably priced for such a great service. Highly recommend them and hope to use them again in the future!!

Vegetarian options: Salads, fries, vegetarian burrito bowls and veggie burgers available for those with restrictions. Delicious!

“The salmon and ingredients were fresh,
and the toppings and rice were well-balanced, making it really delicious!
The service was quite slow but it’s okay.
It felt like it was made with care.
Reasonable price I think.“

“Food was amazing!!!! They made a minor error on our order so I called and spoke to the manager John. He was so kind and understanding. He made it right and the young lady behind the take out counter was the sweetest (I wish I got her name). It was my husband's first time eating at Panera and bc of the amazing food and service, it will not be the last! Thank you John and girl behind the counter!!“

“Their bakery items and coffee are perfect together. Jason assistant manager always makes sure that the bakery items are packed properly. He has a pleasant personality for the hospitality industry.
Lunch and dinner I ordered online and picked up at the drive-through window. Orders are always correct. Food is always prepared properly and the hospitality from the rest of the staff is always pleasant. I would highly recommend stopping in this store it has a pleasant soundtrack, a great atmosphere and a good experience.. JPE“

“Un excelente servicio y los desayunos 🧇 💯“

“We were in Iselin for a business meeting and had to be here early. We were looking for a quick morning bite and randomly selected Cafe Amore (was a small endeavor to find it though))). And Ooh la la we were happily surprised by good quality of freshly made scrambled eggs, ham and croissant combo, with good coffee and other drinks to choose from. They were not busy early in the morning and we had some peaceful time before the meeting. Very friendly crew.“

“Lokal is my go-to spot on my lunch break! Their coffee is phenomenal but what sells them are the friendly faces that work there. They have keen attention to detail and know my order before I can even say it myself. I would give them 6 stars if I could!“

“We were looking for Brasilian salgadinhos to snack on during the Copa 2024 Brasil game. We found a large assortment at Cafe Cirino.
It’s a small place, with tables. A surprisingly large menu, with lots of choices. Gabriela took our order, which was made on the spot and well packaged for the trip home.
Paid parking across the street.“

“Went there for take out lunch Staff was phenomenal!“
