“I had the pleasure of dining at Estime Cafe today, it was an outstanding experience! From the moment we walked in, the customer service was phenomenal, warm, attentive, and truly welcoming. This is the first Haitian restaurant I’ve visited that delivered such impeccable service, and it made all the difference. The atmosphere was inviting, and the food was authentic, flavorful, and beautifully presented. Every dish was prepared with care, bringing out the rich, bold flavors of Haitian cuisine. Whether you’re a longtime fan of Haitian food or trying it for the first time, this place is a must-visit. I highly recommend for anyone looking for a fantastic meal and a top-tier dining experience.

I also like that it's a pure coffee shop. Some baked goods but a pure experience that focuses on atmosphere and quality.“

“I go there once a month to see my friend The Doms play there! Super clean, friendly, and occasionally the dog “Bronco” is there! He’s the sweetest dog ever! But definitely a friendly atmosphere!

His staff took care of everything the day of, very professional. Our parties were a huge success and everyone raved about the food! Thanks so much Chris!“

“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.“

“Newark has really changed. I’ve been to the famous jazz station WBGO many times. The changes from 1985 to now is incredible!!“

“dirty place....the chef uses his bare hands to prepare and cook meals then denied multiple customers for food requests like 8pm like 🤦‍♀️..... they never clean while cooking or preparing instead they wait to clean up at 8pm ....gross only meal I was able to eat was a kibob salad because there meat is disgusting 😑“

“As someone who appreciates food when it is an experience, this right here does it in every sense. The owner clearly knows how to bring the part of Brazil that they dont show us. You don’t even need to speak to anyone because when you scan the QR Code, order & pay for everything (takes the awkward who’s paying) & your order arrives in no time. When you eat the food it is clear there’s a whole team trained in how to make everything that comes out of that kitchen mouthwatering. It’s a whole vibe full of delicious food, quick service, chill ambiance that’s only missing the resort right on the beach built around it. Every single note was hit & well now I want to go to Brazil.“

“First time in today and I loved it! Cozy/cool place and down to Earth people. The latte? Sincerely the best. I live in Bayonne, so I sipped/savored it all the way home. I'll def be back and am excited to try different items as I go. Tysm, Redemption Coffee!“

“Wow, very good breakfast. I asked for a custom item that wasn't on the menu... A Waffels with just the Walnut Syrip. It's was more walnuts than syrip and it was AWSOME! Bacon was crispy just the way it should be too! Coffee was good. Thanks I will be back soon.“

“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🙏😋“

“I made an order on TGCplayer and the card made it through the mail perfect. They packaged the card so it couldn't get damaged. I will definitely buy from them again.“

“Excellent.. Axel, Arelean Nicole all the waiters, waitresses, cooks, incredible staff.. it's like Cheers.. great friendly place great food.. great way to start the day.“

“Great and friendly service“

“Bubble teas here are the best. Bubbles are always fresh. The owner(s) are super kind. They made sure customers are happy with the amount of bubbles. Every weekend while we are in town, we would ask my son to drive 30 minutes (one way)
here for the bubbles teas. Definitely worth the drive! We love bubbles teas here! Best wishes to the owner(s). :)“

“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.“

“Beautiful...Westfield Station Cafe is truly a Westfield is wonderful! The food was absolutely amazing my wife, and I enjoyed it very much. Everything was delicious, and you can really feel the love that goes into the food. Highly recommend!“

“Food was delicious! It was my turn to choose the restaurant for a team meeting.

The omelettes, bagel sandwiches, and potatoes were extremely tasty. And it was all delivery! The food was still really warm and tasted fresh.

Would definitely recommend eating here.“
