“Just tried the emenadas (pollo, beef, queso). They were excellent. Will be back for more food.“

“Fabulous food and very friendly!“

“I had a wonderful experience at this place and immediately fell in love with its cozy and welcoming atmosphere. The shop is charming, beautifully decorated, and filled with fresh herbs and natural ingredients that create a warm and inviting environment.

The gentleman who helped me, who I believe may have been the owner, was incredibly kind and welcoming. I had stopped by because I was craving a natural, organic green drink, and I had also woken up with a cold and very little appetite. After explaining how I was feeling, he recommended the Cold Fighter drink, which turned out to be exactly what I needed.

One thing I really appreciated was that all of the drinks were prepared fresh right in front of me. It was clear that quality ingredients and attention to detail are a priority here, which made the experience feel even more authentic.

Although I didn't order any food during this visit, the menu looked fantastic and offered plenty of healthy and appealing options that I would love to try next time. Everything looked fresh and thoughtfully prepared.

Overall, this was a great experience from start to finish. The excellent customer service, fresh drinks, and beautiful atmosphere made a lasting impression on me. I will definitely be returning and look forward to trying more items from the menu in the future.“

“Got the mango shaped ice. It was large enough for four people, the ice itself had very good mango flavor with some mango ice cream on top. I do wish there were slightly more toppings. I’m not sure if the mangoes were frozen vs fresh, but it was a good way to cap lunch in palisades“

“Today we stopped by GiGi’s Cafe and had the Greek Toast and an Americano, while my wife enjoyed the Classic Toast and an Americano. Everything was absolutely delicious.

The cafe itself is beautifully decorated with flowers, creating such a warm and peaceful atmosphere. We also had the privilege of hearing the owner’s family story. Although it began with sadness, they chose hope, love, and resilience, turning it into something truly beautiful and inspiring.

As their sign says, “You come in as a guest, but you leave as family.” That’s exactly how we felt. We walked in as customers, but we left feeling like family.

Thank you for the wonderful food, the beautiful space, and most of all, your inspiring story. We can’t wait to come back. - Peter and Julie“

“Wow! Heard great things about Double Bubble and finally was able to make it there today! The window and the fun floaties outside got all four of our kids so excited! The interior was so fun! Little and big rubber ducks everywhere, fun seats that looked like desserts for kids to sit on, some table top games...and of course we were greeted by the owner himself, Tony! We ordered the bubble waffles with ice cream and toppings, brownies and adults had lattes and probably the best espresso I ever had....BROWN SUGAR SHAKEN ESPRESSO (I asked for almond milk). I don't normally like sugar in my coffee, but this was absolutely the best espresso I honestly ever had. It was such a kid and family friendly spot and the perfect ending to our lunch!

I can safely say, we are absolutely going back and bringing more friends. Highly recommend!“

“This is one of the most beautiful places around! Sagar puts his heart into this place. It's an oasis in Passaic! Come check it out- for a date, or to meet someone or to just chill. He also rents for special occasions- I've even seen small weddings here! Highly highly recommended. Kosher ice cream and snacks as well. Take your wife or date here! In winter, roaring fire inside. I just love it here. Sitting outside and seeing the beauty around me right now. Tranquil....just awesome. Great place to work from as well.“

“If you love great food and drink and friendly atmosphere this is you're place. I travel 28 miles to come here. It's my home sweet home. I don't go anywhere else from the comfortable seating and the nicely cooled lounge and a place outside if you're a smoker. Wide assortment of coffees and teas and adults beverages. Come on down they are open everyday except Tuesday THE FOOD IS SUPERB.....“
