45 Best Cafes near East Hanover

“Pop up dinner at cafe zingara was a one of a kind experience. The newly opened breakfast/lunch spot has become a local favorite so when I heard about the pop up dinner I had to be there. The chefs prepared several appetizer courses and 3 main courses served family-style. There was an abundance of food. The lamb chops were some of the best I’ve had, and the chicken parm on the bone was a unique touch on a classic favorite. Hopefully these dinners will become a regular occurrence because it was one of the best meals I’ve had in my life.“

“This Panera has become our go-to post-gym hangout. My wife and I stop by after workouts to cool off, get a little work done, and treat ourselves — and it never disappoints.

We’re Sip Club members, and the new Strawberry Basil Lemonade Fresca has been a total favorite lately. It’s light, refreshing, and honestly feels like a reward after the gym. Super crisp and not too sweet — just right.

We also shared an orange scone, and wow... it was so good. Moist and fluffy on the inside, but with a glazed, slightly crunchy shell that gave it that perfect balance. Sweet but not over the top. One scone, two happy people.

The vibe inside is calm, cozy, and just the right amount of background noise to settle in without distraction. Whether we’re working or just relaxing, this location always hits the spot.“

“All of the menu's perfect“

“My wife and I stopped by without knowing much about it. What a great experience! The pasties, sweet and savory, are superb. We both had macha, which was expertly made. The space is clean and welcoming with great music playing and the staff was obviously proud of their work, attentive and patient. I highly recommend!“

“Are you kidding me? I've been dying to come here since it opened so very long ago and FINALLY all the stars aligned (i.e., I actually remembered when it was not a Monday!) and I picked up soup for lunch today. HOW HAVE I WAITED SO LONG. The mulligatawny soup was incredible. It's such a cute place and the owner and staff were so friendly! I can't wait to eat in - and try the jerk chicken sandwich!!!! Thank you for my fantastic lunch today! We definitely will not forget about this place moving forward - soup season is my FAVORITE season! - we will be back! :)“

The smoothies were AMAZING! I got a pineapple mint smoothie and it was heavenly! My sons enjoyed their burgers and fries and my husband enjoyed his chicken sandwhich. I got a beef empanada and it was good as well. I recommend giving them a try if you’re looking a quick bite or a refreshing drink!“

“We have been to Made in Italy many times during all of the ownership changes. We have been for dinner, had graduation parties and gone for dessert only. We were so happy to hear that it was open at night again. My husband recently had knee replacement and was itching to get out. We decided to go for coffee/dessert at Made in Italy. He struggled to get in the car and out when we arrived. It was 8:30 Saturday night when they close at 10. There were over 15 tables open - we asked to be seated for coffee and dessert only to be told they don’t do that. They wouldn’t seat us - they gave us their card and told us to check the menu when we got home- which we did. The second paragraph of the website says - stop by just to have a cup of our gourmet coffee. They had many tables open and preferred to turn us away. Needless to say - we will not be going back.“

“We ordered the everyday Wednesday special on Friday. It was fantastic!! Thank you!!“

I had the chicken wrap with seasoned fries. It was very flavorful. It was made to order. I also had an amazing smoothie!.

I would go back over and over again!. Make sure to check out this beautiful café!.“

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

“What did it take for our small wedding reception to be completely worry-free? Drew and The Fruited Plain Caterers! Having an outdoor wedding reception on October 19 on our back deck could have been "hit or miss" because of the uncertainty of the weather. But Drew connected us with the right rental company and the heated tent was AMAZING! With 25% of our guests being vegetarians we needed a caterer who could deliver deliciousness to all our guests. Drew totally hit it! We opted for a family style luncheon and got raving reviews on the quality of the food. From the first contact email 12 months ago, to the last dish put away on wedding day, we felt we were in great hands with a consummate professional. Drew was flexible enough to accommodate some of our special requests, and because we were dealing with the company owner, decision-making was straight forward. His servers were professional, efficient and friendly. My kitchen was probably cleaner after they left than it was before they arrived! And if all that wasn't enough, honesty and integrity were also a key aspect of our working with Drew. He caught a staffing level mistake on our final invoice and personally delivered a refund check for the amount we had overpaid. Now THAT's someone I will be working with again, and recommending without hesitation to all my friends!“

“Smoothies are yummy and the sweet potato brownies! Have to go back to try other things Everything looks yummy and healthy!“

“Best breakfast in NJ! Think of a cooking show, with 3 artistic, culinary experts competing to design the most amazing breakfast creation, and to win a 1st place ribbon!!! They have every breakfast food, ingredient and garnish in front of them, and Go! Hands off!!! Step back!!! ??? These amazing winning dishes are what Missy serves to everyone, everyday! Fantastic breakfast specials! 5 stars are not enough!“

“Chashni is one of my local favorites to take out, I highly recommend
- Kulfi shake: a milk shake with pistachios, cardamom, and dried rose petals
- avocado toast served on sourdough
- iced chai with oat milk, unsweetened
- date salad
- gulab cake

Service is slower than mega chain coffee shops, but worth the wait. There are a couple of bistro tables outside the shop and a limited amount of indoor seating.“

“I’ve been drinking coffee at SmartWorld since the beginning. The owners, Stephanie and Dave, are community oriented, thoughtful and wonderful people. Several locations make it simple to grab a cup of the best coffee in Morris County without any trouble. Stop in and see what I’m talking about, and say hello to the friendly staff and take advantage of the free WiFi. Highly recommended business....“

“As someone who has traveled extensively throughout Colombia, I can say that this is true, delicious, ethnic, Colombian cuisine. If you're craving Colombian food or are just looking for great meals, generous portions, and the kindest staff, then Tentaciones is the place. The owners are committed to providing top quality with a chef who makes everything from scratch: Sancocho, tamal, buñuelo, empanadas, merengue, bandeja paisa, caldo de costilla, and more.“
