“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! Highly highly recommend! Even if it’s just for a coffee, tea, or latte.. they have it! “The house of coffee crack!”“

“I ordered a maple cold brew with pistachio cold foam from their winter menu and a few donuts. It was all delicious!“

“Not being from the area (South Jersey), I've wanted to try LeGrand Coffee House for quite a while now. So on a trip up to NY a couple days ago, we finally got the chance to stop in on our way up the Parkway. This place is amazing! This beautifully-decorated coffee house had some of THE best coffee I've ever had in my entire life. I got TWO lattes while I was there (a French Vanilla and a Honey Almond). My family and I also got the chicken pesto sandwich, and it was absolutely delicious. My daughter had an iced chai tea latte and loved it. DEFINITELY get to this place if at all possible! Two thumbs up!!“

“I’ve went here before a couple times and the coffee and staff is always the sweetest. But today me and my coworkers ordered delivery but we work in the north shore completely on the other side of the island and the drinks and pastries still came out amazing. Weren’t watery at all and for the signature drinks I think the price range is pretty good! Also gave us a stamp card for the amount of drinks we ordered. Very nice“

“Great location great business grade coffee downtown , Cranford the best“

“Koko Loko Coffee is such a calm little escape.
I had the pistachio latte and it was fantastic balanced, nutty, and not overly sweet.
The barista was warm and welcoming, which really adds to the overall vibe. Inside, it’s bright, minimal, and quietly buzzing, perfect for reading, working, or chatting without yelling over noise.
Loved the long communal tables and clean, modern décor. If you’re looking for a peaceful spot with great coffee, this place absolutely deserves a 5-star stop.“

“Amazing Food and service !!“

“Great spot for coffee and the owners are super friendly.“

“Loved the shroom sando and the cold brew“

“Writing a book has always been considered the hardest task... until the moment of choosing between a sweet or savory breakfast at Cozy Cup! Deciding between the perfect egg white omelet and that fruit French toast was a challenge. Choosing both brought joy to the taste buds (and stomach). Now, fueled by deliciousness, the task of crafting a song about Uncle Matty's incredible story begins! It might just be my most delicious song yet! #CozyCupProblems #BreakfastDecisions #AuthorFuel #EggcellentChoices #FruitFanatic #UncleMattySong #JimFarrellAuthor“

“They treat you well!! Stop by and see for yourself.“

“Great coffee and delicious breakfast/brunch food.“

“An everyday customer of this store and absolutely LOVE IT!! I have come countless of times and have received phenomenal service each time. The staff is super sweet and helpful as well as the fact that I am in and out of the drive thru in 3 min really brings me back. Convenience is a big thing for me and I love the speed this location provides me as well as consistent results every time. Highly recommend!“

“Brewed Awakening is the perfect spot for breakfast, brunch, or lunch. The food is consistently delicious, and some of my favorites include the BLT Sandwich (always made to perfection), the omelettes, and their Apple Caramel Butter Latte—a delightful seasonal treat. I first discovered the latte through a social media post a few weeks ago, and now Brewed Awakening has become my go-to spot every Sunday for a relaxing meal. The service is always warm and welcoming. Annie, the owner, often makes an appearance on the floor, either serving or checking in with guests to ensure they’re enjoying their visit. Her kindness and genuine hospitality make the experience even more special. I highly recommend stopping by Brewed Awakening for a delicious meal and a cozy, inviting atmosphere. You won’t be disappointed!“

“Loved this cute little place!!! My daughter and I were out and about, and wanted to get some coffee, but not from the regular “chain” coffee shop, so after a quick search, we headed to Metuchen. We were lucky enough to get parking right outside, and walked in to be pleasantly surprised by the esthetic vibe. Everything was super clean, and we were greeted right away by the super friendly employee. My daughter ordered a cappuccino and I got iced coffee. We also got a cheese and pesto savory pastry and a passion fruit and coconut tres leches dessert. Everything was delicious!!!!! Thanks for the enjoyable experience. We will definitely return.“

Ralph and Jen are amazing and super present business owners. You can tell they genuinely care about the space, the quality of what they serve, and the people who walk through the door. Quality drinks, great atmosphere, and a real community feel. Definitely worth checking out.“

The Venezuelan sample platter was also great, featuring tasty arepas, empanadas, and tequeños. The atmosphere is welcoming, and the staff is friendly. Definitely recommend checking it out!“

“Me and my friends when on a Saturday morning and we loved it. We were a group of 6. The waitress that helped us was super nice and friendly. She helped us set the table for the group. She speaks English and Spanish. The food was a 10/10. We had the avocado roast, omelettes, French toast and the tiramisu toast. Everything was amazing. The place is a little small for large groups but the ambience is five stars. I’ll definitely visit again.“

“Yummy!! Love the speciality donuts!!“

“I'm a regular here and it's always a pleasant experience. It's one of two locations that I frequent most and since I'm traveling throughout the day and night depending on the day of
Week I know I can depend on them to be open and prepared to serve! Every one of the employees are friendly, kind and considerate working quickly and efficiently in a timely fashion** plus side**it's always nice to be greeted by a smiling face ..a hard working employee who actually puts effort into the job aiming to please the customer not always the case at
Other locations or in general . My only complaint here: the surroundings the environment is run down and looks dirty ...hardly appealing to new residents or potential customers coming thru the neighborhood would be easily turned off by the way the atmosphere is kept and the lack of nicely kept landscaping - esthetically investing in A major overhaul and some system of cleanliness of the drive thru area would be extremely helpful and ideal. If you go elsewhere you find this to be less an issue. Thank you to all the staff members who do the job well and have been apart of my day in a big way...a friendly hello, and getting my order right is not a lot
To ask for and truly makes my day! ?“

“Such a great vibe. I felt comfortable doing work there on my laptop. Friendly, helpful staff. Excellent coffee and chai. I am enjoying the whole bean coffee I bought for home from them. Plus, the sweet treats are delicious and they have yummy vegan options.“

“Such a great little place!“

“El menú es rico y variado , buena atención.😍🙏“

“A friend recommended. I went by myself and was immediately given the seat at the bar. My server was great, she was quick, friendly. The food was good. I had the beer juice and rise and shine, plus French press coffee. Everything was delicious. The pancakes were extremely soft.. Will
Definitely go again.“

“We were there around 2:10 on Sunday, Dec 7. the girl working then she was so polite and so sweet and stunning. Just giving the time so you know who she is — she was great. The coffee was excellent too! the place is very pretty as well it was my first time trying there coffee and I loved it“

“They did a great job on a custom cake. Fair price, pretty and tasty.“

“Very yummy, very tasty. Got the tiramisu latte and prosciutto + arugula sandwich. Was a bit pricey but the latte was definitely worth it. Guy who took my order wasn't mean, but he wasn't friendly. Not a single smile or sprinkle of happiness during our interaction. The place is very cute but seating is limited for a busy cafe.“

“As I run in to grab my order, I see the prized pistachio latte And think to myself: ‘Yup, it’ll definitely taste good’ Ps. Please bring the tiramisu latte back.“

“If you looking for a PUERTO RICAN from the island deli this your PLACE!Great music,service and food.I had an egg,turkey and cheese on a Portuguese roll when I tell you AMAZING!! it’s a understatement…come support your local Spanish Deli’s!!! Yo won’t regret it …🙌🏽“

“Paris Baguette, the Edison location is my ultimate favorite place for taking time for a break, to relax, chat with friends. Welcoming and helpful staff. So many delicious pastries, and lunch items, but always get the lemon creme pastry, the chocolate stick pastry. Fav sandwich is the egg salad.
The creme cake slices are delicious and decorated so prettily. I don't drink coffee, but many hot beverages to choose from including tea. Come on in.“

“If you’re in Elizabeth, NJ and haven’t been to Corner Hause yet… you’re seriously missing out.
The food? Insanely good! Every single dish hits. The drink menu is just as impressive, with a huge selection of cocktails, mocktails, and even really solid coffee if you’re keeping it low-key.

But what really sets this place apart is the vibe. The decor is beautiful, super aesthetic, and makes it the perfect brunch spot. And once a month, their Sunday brunch turns into a whole experience with a live DJ spinning Latin, Afrobeats, and R&B. The music is SO good.

Elizabeth has needed a spot like this for a long time, and Corner Hause absolutely delivered. There’s honestly nothing else like it around here. 10/10 recommend.“

“Excellent family friendly cafe 🍵Recommend the chai masala, lavender donut and rose elixir matcha! Follow @maria.angelspear for more cafe gems ☕️🎀✨“

“Great Food Excellent Service!“

“Awesome flavor. Great portion.“

“We were looking for Brasilian salgadinhos to snack on during the Copa 2024 Brasil game. We found a large assortment at Cafe Cirino.
It’s a small place, with tables. A surprisingly large menu, with lots of choices. Gabriela took our order, which was made on the spot and well packaged for the trip home.
Paid parking across the street.“

“Great casual spot with a clean and cozy vibe. The food was flavorful and comforting, and the ingredients tasted fresh. Service was friendly and efficient. Definitely a solid place to grab a warm, satisfying meal. I’ll be back to try more.“
