Cafes near East Hanover

“This is a standard Panera outlet, with, however, a large and pretty attractive seating area. The status of the stations, and offers relative comfort. Plentiful outlets allow for people to sit and work, though most seating is not soft or tables not very wide. Service is affective. This Panera, as all the ones that I’ve seen suffers from the problem of gaps in coffee/hot water availability, with one or another type periodically empty or missing, pending replacement.“

“An absolute gem added to downtown Berkeley Heights. Everything from start to finish was top notch. Rolls and garlic herb olive oil were tasty. Meatballs and coconut shrimp were excellent starters. Branzino was fresh and the red pepper sauce complimented the fish well. Braised short rib & vincotto chicken were very well constructed dishes. Pistachio tiramisu (homemade) capped off an awesome dinner.Service was on point throughout, very professional with smiling faces. We will be back without a doubt. BYOB and easy parking.“

“The perfect chocolate cake. It was moist, decadent chocolate cake perfectly layered with like a thicker chocolate pudding, and then it was topped off with chocolate crumbles .... giving it an extra oomph/ perfect textureAlso got the ginger snap - has a nice ginger taste, which is what one would look for.I'm definitely going back.“

“I love that the kids have a safe place to go but it does get quite noisy when you're trying to write and things. And sometimes the music gets really loud. Other wise the sweets are really good and it's a cool space but not for those seeking other adult only “

“Loved my experience here at this girly pink cafe. The shop keeps the music at a reasonably low level (at least while I was there during the week) so work can be done. Drinks are great and food menu is extensive. This place definitely needs to be a staple in everyone’s WFH cafes. ?“

“I've been looking for a local, full service coffee shop that roasts their own beans, sells coffee/espresso, as well as offers breakfast and lunch.**This IS that place**I couldn't tell from their website, but the posts I saw on insta showed that they serve food, and I'm happy to report that it tastes as good as it looks!Very friendly staff and accommodating. Although it's currently the middle of December, I wanted a macchiato over ice, which wasn't on their menu, but when I asked they happily said 'of course'.Seems like I'm going to have to sign up for their points system because I can tell I'm going to be back here a whole lot more.I'm particularly interested in sampling their beans, just wish i didn't have to buy an entire bag of beans. Why don't these local roasters sell sample packs, allowing you to still purchase a pound of beans, but separated into small batches with samples of each bean type? This would allow me to quickly figure out which bean I want to try without having to buy a single large bag and take a month to go through coffee I don't really like before trying the next type . . . Or maybe i should start roasting my own beans and do this method . . .Anyways, I really like the space they have, they've really made the most of it, very cozy and inviting.Can't wait to go back“

“I read the reviews and was a little sceptical that it could be that good. The reviews don't lie! Missy's delivers in every respect. We were greeted warmly and genuinely. The server was equally friendly and helpful. The food was fresh, delicious, and the portions are generous. Had a hard time deciding between lunch and breakfast items, so before we even left, we were planning our next trip to Missy's for breakfast. Go on an empty stomach!“

“Everything about this café makes me always come back. I have been here a few times and I am never disappointed. I was there just today to have their delicious baklava pistachio cheesecake and it's always so worth the calories. Their food is also delicious!!. The owners are very kind..“

“This lounge style coffee, tea and health café offers smoothies, teas and all varieties of coffee, including bourbon barrel aged! They have wallpaper that's reminiscent of a parlor in a Victorian home, making for a cool vibe. The space is big, with huge windows, offering tons of sunlight. It's the hub of the 900 block, across the street from what's known as the best crystal shop in the northeast, Gemtuitive, and the loose tea and herb shop, Sheep Hill Herbals. Also, Uptowne Antiques is right next door.Be sure to grab a coffee, a tea, or a smoothie, along with a snack, and relax a while, then shop the 900 block!“

“WOW - found this hidden gem as I was craving soup on a snowy day only to realize this place is less than 5 min from me. My favorite soup is Italian wedding and happened to be the day it was being served! I ordered delivery of the soup and Cuban panini and instantly fell in love. I’m excited to see and try all the other soups because this is one of the (if not the best) Cuban panini (with pickles!) and Italian soup I’ve ever had. I look forward to going in person next time!“

“I'd give it 10 if I could. Lots of variety, great food, very reasonably priced AND friendly service. Parking is a bit of a challenge in Little Falls but this place is worth the short walk for the out of towners. Obviously a local walk to secret gem. This is on my go to list.“

“Defying Gravitea is a cute spot for breakfast, coffee/tea, or some little sweets. My mom and I stopped in early one morning and the owner Gina was super friendly and welcoming. The menu is entirely gluten/dairy free and as someone who is not gluten or dairy free, I believe the food was just as tasty, if not better! I had a pot of Rise + Glow tea and French toast. Will definitely be back!“

“I met a friend for dinner in Boonton and he asked if I've ever been to Boonton Coffee Co. When I said "no" he said "you gotta try this coffee". We walked over and I ordered an iced vanilla latte, just like I've done at Starbucks for well over a decade. Long story short, this place has ruined Starbucks for me. The quality and flavor of their coffee is unmatched. With all due respect to Folgers Freeze Dried coffee, that's what Starbucks now tastes like in comparison. If the owners are reading this...please let me know if you're considering another location. I'd definitely invest.“

“Delicious little place in town. It's hard to say what was better. The food or the coffee. If you're in the area definitely come here for some coffee or breakfast and you won't be disappointed.Parking: It's near the transit stop so parking can be difficult at times.“

“Wayne Hot Bagels supplied breakfast for Teacher Appreciation Week and did a fabulous job! They were friendly, courteous, patient and worked with me to find items that fit within the budget. They even personally delivered for us free of charge. They truly were a pleasure to deal with and I would definitely use them again for future events!“

“I would definitely consider myself a regular. Love their sandwiches and bakery items. The best part about this restaurant is their amazing and friendly staff. Everyone is just so nice and willing to help/answer any questions you have. The bakery is very relaxing so you could definitely get some work done if that's your cup of tea. The only negative I must comment on is that their sandwiches sit under a heated lamp so their bagels can get a bit soggy. P.S. order online as soon as the bakery opens because they do sell out very quickly. Especially on the weekends!“

“Went with my wife this morning for breakfast and it was outstanding. The egg, sweet plantain, avocado burrito hit the spot. Would have loved to try the special of the day ( milanesa napolitana) but I was really in the mood for breakfast. Definitely next time!!!“

“Ordered a gluten free, sugar free cake for my friends birthday. We were blown away by how good it was! Everyone loved it and would have never known there was no sugar!! Everyone who works there is super friendly also when we had questions about what was in the cake! 10 out of 10!!“

“I absolutely love the atmosphere in here. I noticed it was pretty packed, has great live music (they even played Neil Young!), a lot of options such as cranberry apple tea, a robot, and great artwork. The patrons seem polite and it has a slightly upscale, but laid back, vibe. It is gender inclusive!Parking: It gets packed“

“I've been waiting a long time for a local coffee shop in my town. Service is fast and friendly. They make iced coffee with coffee ice cubes! I thought that was one of the greatest things I had ever seen. I haven't had their breakfast yet but their Chocolate Croissant is fire!“

“Small place, absolutely awesome breakfast options - not too many seats but also not too crowded - great spot!Vegetarian options: Plenty of options for vegetarians but some dishes are specials for the day and if they have meat, that can’t be undone is all. great menu for all tastes :)“

“Hands down the best egg sandwich in NJ. The homemade roll is amazing, eggs are fresh and they pile on the bacon. Servers are consistently friendly and attentive. All the food at Carvers is great (LOVE the homemade bread) but for whatever reason I never ordered the egg sandwich. Can't believe I've been missing it all these years.“

“I needed a birthday cake or a kosher cake and they accommodate me the same day with a delicious round chocolate babka,and they deliver it to me all the way to roselle excellent service I highly recommend ?Dietary restrictions: My friend does not eat pork of any kind we need kosher for him. He's from Ghana“

“It is a small Pakistani restaurant. the first thing that you will notice is- it's cute decor and great photo frames on the wall (btw you can buy it)...I can keep it in a 'cute cafe in a cute downtown' category. A neighborhood like this reminds me of Frenchtown (near to PA-NJ border)you have many options to choose from (great, isn't it)I ordered* 'Andey [Egg] wala Burger' with their classic Chai* Burger - very soft bun, lots of sauces and egg.What I liked most was -its chai. it could be one of my best chai and believe me, I am Indian and I have tasted some great chai in my countryanother restaurant to boost about...!Chatham town looks beautiful and I marked more restaurants with this, and I am gonna come back for sure!Parking: did not find parking on Main St, so took a right turn and found the parking near Chatham Playhouse.“

“Dietary restrictions: They have quite a few gluten free options, which have been amazing! My family loves their regular pastries, and breads. The owner shared a lovely cup of single source coffee with me, that his mother had brought from his family village in South America.Very nice people, with a comfortable place to have a light meal, empanadas, pastries, etc.Their GF guava sweet bread - is DELICIOUS!“

“I see this place when we pass by. I have never stopped in until today. First I thought they onlySold tea. However, much to my surprise they have coffee too. There are other shops nearby that we had visited and it was time to compare. The mocha latte was very good. Tasty in all the right ways without over powering with the mocha. My husband had the chai tea and he said it was good too. MySon ordered the cheese empanada. Now that one did hurt because by where we live they only cost $2 and not $5. The barista was helpful in answering any questions we had.We sat in the new area while we waited. We played a couple rounds of tic tac toe. They also have a small children’s library selection.“

“Very clean, fast, & friendly employees were very welcoming and accommodating to what I was looking for if it was not put out amazing food if your passing thru on the highway definitely give this place a stop and get some gas while your at it lol“

“I stopped in here for coffee and just had to try a beignet. They smelled amazing, and the one I got was hot, soft, and not overly sweet, despite the glaze. Good stuff! The shop itself has a good amount of seating, and the employee was nice. I'd try more beignets if I wasn't trying to lose weight, LOL.“

“This Café is truly great! The ambiance is calm, modern & serene. It's amazing for grabbing coffee with friends, having breakfast, meeting up, studying or even working.Their food is great I got the chicken kebab platter & oven roasted Chicken Meal. The chicken is made really well and tender while bursting in flavor.Whether you're looking for a quick bite to eat or a leisurely meal with friends, Eatery Cafe Kitchen is the perfect destination. With its amazing food platters and cozy ambiance.“

“Tasty food with lots of choices for the whole family. We did takeout for 5 items: --Wok Fried Noodles - bouncy and satisfying! --Bao Sampler Platter - Really good, especially with chili oil! This came with different fillings: Pork with Scallion, Chicken with Corn, and Beef with Onion and you can have them steamed or fried. I super recommend getting their add-on of Spicy Minced Pork Chili Oil which really elevates this dish. --Jasmine Boba Tea (customized for my request of zero ice, zero sugar) - pretty good, but the boba was kinda hard. --Crab and Pork Soup Dumplings - Pretty good. These are very likely much better eaten in the restaurant. In general, the filling was slightly too dense and the wrapper was a little too thick compared to the same dish I've had elsewhere. --Bao Chicken - A family fave. This came with 3 pieces of broccoli and was heavy on the chicken which had a light coating and yummy sauce. The portion lasted my kids several meals. With food this good, this spot can take a bao. ;)“

“YOU MUST GO HERE FOR DINNER!!!!!!! Not only is this the only place nearby serving East African food, it is so good that it is akin to food heaven! The staff are incredible! And for dessert you can get amazing homemade ice cream! So please please please do yourself a favor and try the Eritrean food! You will not be disappointed!“

“This place is my favorite go to for great coffee and crepes! I recommend the Du Jour Crepe and the Strawberry & Banana Nutella crepe, they’re my favorites. The italiano sandwich is very delicious! The best is their drinks, I can’t have too much caffeine but their chai latte is one of the best in town. Starbucks makes them too sweet even when I ask less syrup. And other places around town just don’t make them as good, the flavor is always off. The pastries are very good as well! Milly and Christian the owners are so warm and welcoming. There were a few times where we gave constructive criticism and they were very receptive and proactive about it. Most places if I have a bad experience or the food is terrible and I tell the owners about it, they can be immature about it. But not Milly and Christian, they’re very nice about making sure your experience is amazing. The place is small and sometimes there’s not enough room to sit down to eat and chat. But it makes me want to come back even more ? definitely give this place a try if you’re in town!“

“Second time having breakfast here and it was just as good as the first! They have omelettes eggs, french toast pancakes. All the standard breakfast stuff. They're blueberry pancakes are some of the freshest I've ever had. Today I had one of their specials which were brownie pancakes they were little pieces of homemade brownie mixed in with the batter. Then they were very good. They don't have cold brew but they're regular. Ice coffee is some of the best I've ever tasted. The manager is sweet. She runs the cafe. Takes all the orders and interacts with the customers. I had breakfast with my father and sometimes he can be a pain. They didn't have expresso but she allowed him to come in with a cup of coffee from the outside which I was embarrassed by but it was very nice of her to allow .She's very friendly and outgoing. This will definitely be one of my new frequent places to visit.“

“Really cute place, I was impressed with both the food & coffee.Went there for lunch, but ordered a coffee and it was surprisingly delicious (even better than the coffee shop down the street).The bakery items also looked amazing --- looking forward to trying them at some point.“

“Small place but saw the ratings and thought my wife (who is Brazilian) would give it a shot for breakfast. The food was made fresh and was it ever delicious ?. The crepe with Carmel, bananas and cinnamon was RIDICULOUSLY DELICIOUS.Parking: Parked across the street, easy to find and walk over.“

“Don’t generally post reviews but this place has amazing coffee. A little on the expensive side but not anymore expensive than Starbucks. I had the honey rose iced latte and the coffee on its own is good, like you can tell they use good coffee beans, and not overly roasted. Mixed with the milk honey rose and its deliciousss. Will be back <3“

“I love this place. The owner (I'm assuming she's the owner) is super nice and dedicated. I love that she is interested in good health, I actually learned something from her during my first visit there. The food is good, the sourdough bread is great. I recommend this place.“

“They have just about everything. Except for weed. For that, you need to walk a few doors down. But everything else is here, and it's all good. We go here for dish soap, bread, Christmas gifts, coffee, and other things we don't know we need till we get there.“

“Heavenly Temptations leads with its heart on its sleeve to create a wonderfully authentic family experience. I spent a cozzy day drinking coffee and eating delicious home-baked treats while taking reading breaks chat with the barista. The barista was the owners son and from the moment you meet him you can tell he is truly grateful for the opportunity to run his family's business and welcome each customer.Don't waste your money on other coffee shops. Supporting Heavenly Temptations is supporting hard working youth and a family dedication to their local community. And, my grandmother can't get enough of their desserts!“

“Great place. Excellent coffee, of course. Excellent patries, of course. And very strong food. We have gone there for breakfasts. In addition to regular breakfasts, they make a wide range of Mexican breakfasts which are all incredible. Quaint atmosphere. Worth it. Maplewood, NJ“

“Ordered from this place on Doordash to try it for the first time and it did not disappoint at all. Yeah it may be pricy though the quality and freshness of the food is exceptional especially the soup. The chicken noodle soup tasted phenomenally delicious plus the chicken aioli sandwich was satisfying especially for lunch. Definitely plan on ordering from here every now and then.“

“The food is just so amazing. My family and I go here for breakfast even though it’s out of our way. The service and staff is the best. Get there early or risk waiting, because everyone who go there once knows that Sweet Basil is the best.“

“Got the UBE PANNA COTTA. Was surprised that it was so good. A lot of Ube flavor. So sweet and tasty. Wife says, “Very good!” Also my son had the CHOCOLATE BUNDT CAKE, son gave it 10⭐️s! “That was SO good!” Wife says it was the best as well. Daughter had the CHOCOLATE MOUSSE and she loved it. The CHICKEN SPINACH HAND PIE was excellent, as per my wife. “Can we go back for more?”, says my daughter.“

“Absolutely awesome little deli. I love the comic book decorations. They always have great music playing.House made smoked brisket is phenomenal. It makes it hard to try other sandwiches. I finally broke my trend and tried the Ranchero. It did not disappoint!Every sandwich is made with the utmost care and love. It's hard to explain, but it makes a difference.“

“A fantastic bagel shop in Lake Hiawatha that I highly recommend to everyone. The quality of their bagels is exceptional, and they offer a wide variety of flavors to choose from. Whether you're a fan of traditional classics or enjoy more unique combinations, this place has something for everyone. The staff is friendly and welcoming, creating a pleasant atmosphere for customers. If you're in the area, don't miss out on this wonderful bagel shop experience.“

“I had probably the best chocolate croissant I have ever had in my life here. It was filled with chocolate buttercream instead of the usual chocolate batons and it was so rich, silky smooth and a perfect compliment to the buttery, flaky pastry. Would eat again every day of my life probably“

“Of all the quick service food places that I've been, Lyd's Cafe is one of my favorites. I had such a pleasant experience; from the moment I was greeted to the second I received my order. I ordered the chicken salad sandwich which was delicious. Also, the waffles w/ fresh fruit was BOMB! Thanks to the lovely chef:)“

“Food options change They offer daily lunch specials and have the best homemade ice cream sandwiches. They offer takeout of one individual meal or full dinners for the family that will look and taste like you cooked it yourself. Not a lot of room to eat in just 1-2 tables if you are lucky enough to have one. You can always take it home to enjoy the great food, quiches, salads , and sandwiches. They also do big party catering.“

“I was in the area with a few friends and decided to go here for brunch. We were pleased at first because the atmosphere here is very warm and comforting. It's a rustic design with a slight modern touch. Our server, Nidia, was very nice and helped us with all of our questions. The coffee was really good, and the food didn't take long to come out either. I had french toast, and it was probably the best french toast I've ever had (brioche bread with cinnamon and sugar butter, and a berry compote on the side). If I'm ever backing the area I'm definitely going to come back here.“

“Always make my way over to Traci’s Cafe if I’m in the area. Food is always on point no matter what you order. Really enjoy the Paninis and breakfast is great. Has everything from smoothies to breakfast to sandwich and salads. If you’re looking for great food Traci’s Cafe is the place to go. Traci makes you feel very welcomed also.“
