50 Best Cafes near Fort Lee

“Excellent croffles and drinks! Caffe AND is a great place for a quick treat; service is fast, efficient, and friendly. The staff have always been welcoming, and the croffles come out warm with the perfect texture. I especially like the blueberry croffles, and I hope to try tiramisu next. The ambience of the restaurant is nice, but seating is pretty limited.“

“Mochi Mochi Cafe is an amazing place to go, and as a regular, I am in love. It is very family friendly and the owners are amazingly kind. The food is great and at a good price. It has a ton of options for everyone and I would 100% recommend!“

“I've tried the pho popup in Vera twice. The beef pho and chicken pho are excellent. They have the best presentation of any pho restaurant - a take on modern simplicity. The menu reflects the same simple choices, a single size bowl of: beef, chicken, or seafood.“

“Tucked along Bergen Boulevard in Fort Lee, Cafe Trois is the kind of place that makes you want to linger. The vibe? Cozy, modern, and just the right amount of buzz. The staff is genuinely kind — always welcoming, never rushed — and they somehow remember your favorite drink after just one visit.

Now let’s talk food. The Crème Brûlée donut is legendary — crisp on top, creamy inside, and not overly sweet. Their Croque Madame is rich and satisfying, especially if you’re a fan of gruyère. And the mini croissant sandwiches? Adorable and delicious. Whether you’re grabbing a quick bite or settling in for a slow brunch, everything feels fresh and thoughtfully made.

Bonus points for the self-serve pastry wall — it’s like a treasure hunt for dessert lovers. From red bean mochi donuts to blueberry apple tarts, there’s always something new to try.

Cafe Trois isn’t just another café. It’s a neighborhood favorite that delivers on flavor, friendliness, and that little spark of joy you didn’t know you needed.“

“I’ve been coming here for nearly 2 years and love the coffee here. One of my favorite cafes to order an Americano! Their matcha is not too bad either. I also appreciate their mission in shining more light on women led coffee farms and the support to sloths. It feels good knowing my pricey coffee is at least supporting noteworthy causes.“

“Such a lovely spot! I tried a variety of their bakery items and most of them were absolutely delicious. The peach iced tea was super refreshing. It’s the kind of cozy cafe you find yourself wanting to go back to again and again. Definitely worth a visit if you’re in the area! ꒰ᐢ. .ᐢ꒱“

“Such a nice spot that blends cozy ambiance with a wide selection of beautifully crafted pastries and baked goods. Whether you're stopping in for a quick coffee or lingering over a sweet treat, this location consistently delivers on freshness and flavor.

The interior is clean and inviting, with plenty of seating both indoors and out — perfect for catching up with a friend or enjoying a quiet moment. Their strawberry lemon cream croissant and blueberry chiffon cake are standout favorites, and the variety of cakes, breads, and sandwiches makes it easy to find something for every craving.

Service is generally friendly and efficient, and the ability to order ahead or grab something to-go adds convenience. It’s also open late, which is a nice bonus for evening dessert runs. If you're in the area and looking for a reliable café with quality offerings and a relaxed vibe, this Paris Baguette is definitely worth a visit.“

Make sure to come to this cafe if you want a lovely experience and great food and drinks!“

“I was traveling for my studies, and it was incredible for the time I spent here. Our bartender was Frank, a great person. I won't forget him. This place is perfect for disconnecting and getting a good meal. Without a doubt, I'll be back on my next trip.“

“Great coffee, great pastries, great man. Sam is the nicest man there is. He invited me to come eat in his own home. His wife's homemade pastries are the best!“

“Live in the neighborhood and just tried this place out for the first time and it was fantastic. The baristas were super friendly and it had great ambience. I got the cold brew which was not that expensive relative to some other coffee shops, and was delicious.“

“I was there for a meet and greet and loved staying a few extra minutes to pet the dogs in the cafe. Such a nice break in my day!“

“I can’t believe I’ve only just discovered this place! From the moment we walked in, the atmosphere felt so warm and welcoming. The staff were attentive and kind, which made the experience even better. We only had drinks this time, but everything was excellent—the recommended espresso martini was especially delicious. We’ll definitely be coming back. Highly recommended!“

“My friend Cristina, who had been raving about this place for a long time, treated us to my husband’s birthday brunch here, and she was not wrong. What a gem! The service was outstanding, the food was delicious, and the place was very clean with a nice atmosphere. It’s also BYOB, which makes it even better. Such a great addition to the community. Highly recommend and can’t wait to come back with my family!“

“Really happy to find that place! Great real coffee and very friendly staff.“

“Loved every dish- fluke with black tea, mint and peach(who knew raw fish and fruit went so well together?), amazing grilled artichokes and grilled eggplant. Barely touched my pasta with preserved lemon because I was full, but it was delicious. My daughter’s burger was iconic. The Platonic ideal of hamburgers. Coffee was also delicious. If we had not made a plan to go to La Cabral for dessert and more coffee, I am sure dessert would have been equally excellent.Service was excellent and our waitress was knowledgeable and interested in the food.The fluke reminded me of the first time I went to USC in 1988. I had a plate with raw marinated tuna, raw salmon and raw scallops. The little heaps of fish were so pretty on the plate with their contrasting colors.“

“i had gotten the matcha soft serve in a cup and it was good! there were some clumps of powder but the place was busy around 6pm so it was reasonable. the place can get easily crowded, especially when waiting in line to order on the one pos system. the taste was powder and tasted like actual matcha. i will be coming back again!“

“One of the best places for brunch in NYC. Everything was fresh and delicious.“

“My opinion is 9.1/10. Def lived up to hype. I had the yuzu, has a lemon flavor and I did enjoy it. If back in the area would try other flavors I heard the boba is what they are know for.

“If I could come back for every meal I would. From the hostess and host to the servers and food everything was beyond incredible.

Order the tasting menu. You’ll love every bit of it. The little details were incredible and every single member of their team went above and beyond. Will definitely be back as often as possible.“

“I read their amazing reviews, I had to add me 2 cents. Definitely try their French toast. Brings back my memories of being a kid, and filling as f...... Great for breakfast, lunch or dinner!!!“

“Wonderful, caring staff(Grand Central Station)“

“The food is absolutely fabulous. It is presented beautifully. We were going to go to the place next door, but due to the wait there, we ended up at Good Thanks. Such a delightful mistake. So much so that we came down again all the way from East Harlem to come back once more before the end of our trip. This is a must visit.“

“This place is a hidden gem in Williamsburg! It’s such a cute and cozy spot for Gelato and smoothies. Coffees are also served. The gelato was delicious! Great music and atmosphere. They even have a vinyl player, which I briefly played with. They have plenty of seating indoors and outdoors.“

“It is an amazing place with amazing people and CATS! 😻😽😻😽😻😽“

“Awesome design! Friendly atmosphere! BUREKASIM!“

“We fancied a light brunch on our way up to the Broadway theatre for a matinee show of The Buena Vista Social Club and as we had enjoyed our brunch at the Tartinery café & bar in Greenwich Village last week, we decided to try their branch on Park Ave.
The café was very busy with a lot of office workers having lunch, however, we were shown to a small table for two without having to wait. The menu at this branch was very silmilar to the one at Greenwich Village, however, they didn't have the eggs benedict my wife really enjoyed there, so she had the avocado on toast with the additional of a soft poached eggs today, which she really enjoyed, and a latte. I went for the lunch combo deal of a delicious creamy chestnut & mushroom soup with a fantastic chicken salad petite tartine with celery & pistachio. We also ordered a very tasty ham & cheese croissant to share whilst we waited for our main courses.
We were served by a very friendly and helpful waitress and used the male & female toilets at the back of the café. There's also a takeaway counter near the entrance selling pastries & hot drinks to go.“

“Love their cold brew coffee，If you’re looking for a charming place with a great atmosphere, you can’t pass HI-Collar up.“

“After hearing great things about Land to Sea, we made the trip all the way from Long Island City—with our foster dog Mission in tow! The staff were so kind and even offered him ice water on a hot morning, which we really appreciated. We sat outside and were grateful for the shaded seating.

I had the roast pork bun and coconut bun—both were absolutely delicious! Perfectly chewy, moist, and full of authentic flavor.

Thank you for your kindness and hospitality. We’ll definitely be back!

“Delicious no words to describe the authentic taste of the food
The best place to go for coffee and breakfast in the area and Brooklyn for far
I always try something new and it’s just so special
Staff is the best great hospitality“

“We stopped here for a quick lunch before our tour. Absolutely fantastic service from Diogo, the lovely man that served us. He was very friendly and we had a lovely chat with him about our trip. The food was delicious, portion size great and beautifully presented. Overall a great place to grab a quick bite.“

“The best in the neighborhood!“

“Exceptional high quality unique dishes. I loved every bite and can’t wait to go back! Definitely one of my top picks for Jersey City⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“It was my first visit, and I had Bulgogi Bliss, Shrimp Crunch, and an iced latte. Everything was delicious! The store had a lovely ambiance as well. I would definitely go back and recommend it to my friends and family. It’s definitely a must-try in Hoboken!“

“Tenz is one of the best parts about living in this neighborhood! Been a regular for a few years now. They are fast, friendly, and the drinks and pastries are so on point. I’m also a big matcha person and this is one of the best I’ve had in the city—super strong and super green. Tenz has 5 stars for a reason 💗“

“Thick cut bacon, egg and cheese on a poppy roll with a yolk that bursts on the first bite. The perfect pick me up on a rainy nyc day. Iced latte pairs well with the crullers. Great to sit and catch up with friends over some daily provisions“

“Lovely atmosphere and did my breakie the way this Australia gal likes it. Hope the new location does well!“

“support the bzrrio by supporting the local businesses and not the Stsrbuck types“

“It’s not easy finding a quick spot in New York that checks all the boxes—clean, high-quality food, warm service, and a cute vibe—but Daily Provisions nailed it.

We ordered the Caesar salad with salmon, and it was perfect. Think crispy chickpeas, a soft egg, kale, Parmesan, and a creamy anchovy dressing that actually tasted like anchovy—in the best way. The grilled cheese was buttery, golden, and exactly what you want it to be. Brussels sprouts were a great side, crisp and flavorful without being oily.

Shoutout to Atiana and the team for being so kind and welcoming. There’s indoor seating, and the space feels calm and modern without trying too hard. We’ll be back.“

“What a delightful little breakfast/brunch place!!! We went here straight from the airport on our way into town, luggage and all, and it was perfect! We sat in the little outside area with the fans because the A/C was broken inside. My mom ordered the Grey Dog’s Breakfast with her eggs scrambled, French toast, and bacon, and it’s served with home fries. I ordered the egg and cheese croissant minus the parsley (not my fave) and added bacon. I’m picky about my home fries, so the server offered me french fries instead. We had exactly zero complaints about our meal. The portions are big, the eggs and bacon were cooked perfectly, and the French toast had this sweet butter with it that I can’t even compare to anything because it was so unique and delicious. The home fries ended up being DELICIOUS. The French fries were also good. I enjoyed the seasoning on them as well. I’m not a big fan of the thing shoe string fries, but these were good! The three employees we encountered were all very friendly and I would be more than happy to eat here again any time.“

“This place is amazing! Their soft serve is so creamy, smooth and tasty! Made it into an affogato and it was 🧑🏻‍🍳💋. The staff here are also so friendly, highly recommend! Wish I lived closer so I could get it more often, but definitely a spot I’d go out of my way to go to with friends 🥰“

“It’s flavorful and doesn’t have all that extra sugar. Easy to make. I love the recipes people are sending in as well!“

“I Love the Glorious Juice! So refreshing and good for me!!“
