“Very atmospheric and friendly cafe!

This place seems super new, and I've started stopping by after my classes at NJIT since it's nearby and opens early enough. The baristas/workers have great customer service and are very kind and welcoming! The space is quite small as there's only 4-5 tables, but considering the location, it's good for grab-n-go customers.
The food I've had so far are the blueberry danish, almond croissants, and the classic sandwich. Everything tastes fresh and it's great that the pastries are toasted/hot when they serve it. The drink selection is amazing, and the drinks I've had so far are the best in the area! The drinks seem pretty consistent-tasting too!
This place is my new favorite breakfast spot near campus and I'll be showing all of my friends this place ?“

“Stunning cafe. Hidden gem for sure. In the middle of the craziest morning, I couldn’t have had a better slowdown than Orange House Cafe. The barista was really patient, kind.

“One of the best cafe’s in Newark! I love the atmosphere and music, you come here and you better have shazam ready lol. The food is light and fulfilling and i’ve never had a bad drink. There’s so many different seating arrangements for individuals or friend groups. Great place to study, hangout, read, write, and play games.“

“Good vibes overall - wish the front was open for more seating but a nice place particularly the couch area. Will be back.

Dietary restrictions: I have a peanut allergy and didn't die after ordering a coffee drink and an iced tea. They do use Almond milk though - not sure about cross contamination. I didn't eat any of the goodies. Brought a cookie from Little Daisy Bakeshop (peanut free place).“

“We recently organized a Company Appreciation event and had a fantastic experience. Initially, when placing our order, they offered to set up for us, which we declined. However, when we arrived, everything was beautifully set up. They even provided extra items and ensured we had everything we needed. They truly saved the day for us. Thanks a million!“

“I came in to grab an iced coffee because I prefer to support small businesses over chains ⛓️‍? I laughed when I saw a “friends don’t let friends buy Starbucks” sign inside and they’re absolutely right.

They have ample coffee options (thank you) and I was indecisive about which flavor to add to my iced coffee but the man behind the counter recommended the Jamaican blend - y’all it did NOT disappoint! He made it exactly as I asked for (with lots of milk and a little sugar). It cooled me off on this hot and humid day.

SHOP LOCAL! I can’t wait to go back and try brunch“

“My girlfriend and myself, retired Philadelphia Police Officers were going on a cruise on 9/12/24 out of Cape Liberty. We arrived early and were looking for a cup of coffee and a quick breakfast. Luckily we picked Une Tasse Cafe, the coffee was fantastic and the breakfast wraps and pastries were delicious. The owner was warm and welcoming and introduced us to her dog, who actually let me pet him. I wish this restaurant was closer to where we live, coffee that good is hard to find. I just ordered two pounds on their web site so that I can enjoy it at home. Hopefully on our next cruise we will stop there again.“

“A local owned business that makes their food with love. I love getting their Bacon, Egg & Cheese [Salt, Pepper, Ketchup, of course] on a Brioche. The bacon is perfectly crispy. I usually get their drip coffee either hot or iced depending on my mood with added vanilla flavor. My other go-to when I'm not feeling breakfast is their Chicken Little Sandwhich.

The staff is very friendly and it feels like home when you walk in. There is seating inside if you feel like dining in or even pulling out your laptop to do a little work. When it's nice out they have a backyard patio for you to enjoy.“

“Orange - Carmel crãpe....ABSOLUTELY delighted ????
The balance of flavors was impeccable-the sweetness of the carmel combined perfectly with the citrusy zest of the orange, creating a unique and mouthwatering experience. The crãpe itself was light, thin, and perfectly cooked, with a delightful texture that melted in my mouth. This dish is a must-try for anyone who enjoys a refined dessert with a twist. I highly recommend stopping by if you're in the area.“

“A fantastic find on our last morning in Newark, the breakfast menu was bigger than we expected and we needed extra time to decide! Excellent food, very good portion sizes for the price (neither of us finished!) and the coffee was good too!

We had the poached egg and salmon toast and the breakfast sandwich with two meats of my choice on a bagel, a lot of options to customise and came with lovely sides of potatoes. We got an iced vanilla latte and a regular vanilla latte, both with oat milk that went down very well.

Clean and friendly environment, excellent service, wish we'd found it earlier in the week!“

“We are learning about Taiwan in school and decided to try Bubble Tea. The employees were very kind and explained how Bubble tea originated from Taiwan, gave our children stickers and helped them through their first time eating the Boba. I love that they have caffeine free and low sugar options.

Kid-friendliness: Low sugar and caffeine free options. They were also very friendly to our children and gave them stickers.“

After a few weeks, I came again with my wife and had lunch together. I chose prosciutto and rucola flatbread, which is a delicious rectangular pizza. I recommend it.“
