49 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.“

“We booked this for Valentine's Day evening. We are visiting from the northeast. We had the prefix menu and everything they served us was exquisite. Service was impeccable and it was very romantic. It's not in the very best of neighborhoods, but the building itself is stunningly gorgeous, and the interior even more so.“

“The Barista is welcoming and made us smooth chocolate drinks! I gratefully enjoyed our pastries; the tastes are extraordinary, fresh, warm, salty sweet. Truly like nothing I have ever had in NJ! I felt my tastebuds transported to appreciate the combination of fruits, nuts, sugar, spice…I can’t wait to try the new Spring menu with another delicious drink. We are simply blessed to have The Simple Fare in Millburn🙏😋“

“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!!“

“In addition to the tasty toasts and healthy smoothies -- with many diverse offerings and flavor profiles -- I loved the service more than anything.

The one item we didn't completely love when we went was our chai. Like many western chais, this one was too sweet. (To me, once it's that sweet, you lose all those aromatic notes of the ginger and cinnamon, but that's beside the point).

When I approached the workers with our feelings on the drink, they were quick to make a change without charging us. They completely remade the drink with less syrup, and it made a huge difference.

So, we we will definitely be back for a second visit! It's a great atmosphere, with fun options, and a helpful staff. Remaking that drink was really nice and showed they will do what's in their power to make your experience the best it can be.“

“Very cute cafe in downtown Chatham. The rose saffron latte didn’t have much flavor, but was very cute in its presentation. The desi breakfast bowl on the other hand had some real kick and I absolutely loved it. Such unique flavors that you don’t see anywhere else. Will definitely be returning to try other dishes!“

“Always a delicious home style breakfast - cooked however we ask… truly true best bacon around!! We adore Maryanne and Jack… James may steal the show tho!!“

“Traci has been in the restaurant business for over 20 years and it shows! Now that she has her own place the food and service are just about perfect.“

“I enjoyed dining at Inkosi Cafe. I Love that this cafe is Black Owned. The owner is the sweetest!. It felt good to be welcomed with open arm's and a few laughs!.
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!.“

“Went while they had the local college jazz band performing. It was a great music session, with a relaxed atmosphere. They were busy, but I did not have issues getting service. The food was good and so was the coffee. The seating is limited though, even without the band playing. But still worth the pitstop for coffee.“

“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!“

“Empanada lady was at vet fest today, I had three empanadas, a beef and potato, chipotle chicken, and a spinach one. They were so tasty and it was a huge portion.“

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

“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!“

“This cozy restaurant has left the best impression! Hospitable hosts, delicious dishes, beautiful presentation, BYOB, and wonderful desserts. I recommend it to everyone! This Kafe will definitely have you coming back here again and again.“

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

“Today I came in and ordered a simple small coffee, and usually I just grab and go. But I was met with a beautiful smile and great conversation by Egypt. I haven’t had the experience I had today in awhile. You can tell she’s amazing by showing much care with the drinks and customer service. It was like talking to a friend instead of a stranger. Def will be coming back just to hopefully see her again!“

“Great food, friendly people“

“I eat here regularly (at least once a week!) The food is Always fresh and made to order. I've tried many dishes including their stewed okra and turkey, Haitian beans and rice, white rice with fried chicken, black bean sauce, white bean sauce, red bean sauce, they make a very very very very good cabbage salad thing, soooo good. Pretty everything has been amazing. I love that it is clearly a small business ran and operated by family. The food is never greasy and taste like homemade every time.
Highly recommend 10/10“

“my bestie and I like to search for new places to eat. THIS place is now on our fav list! the food is astounding, the fresh carrot juice i had was delicious. The owner is warm and a delight! may he flourish here because this is going to be a repeat spot for us!“
