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.“

“This place is pretty great. It's owned by a small family, Everytime I've come I always see the mom working, and sometimes the daughter. They have a wide selection of snacks to grab, whether it be cake or one of their made goods like a croquet or the boba. Would definitely recommend, my one negative aspect would be the music taste. It's a bit tacky and old, but not bad enough to not come.“

“It’s my new favorite cafe in Fort Lee. I had a regular iced coffee. It was quite good. Their everything bagel was also super tasty. They also go above-and-beyond for the customers. The staff there would bring the food to us after we order. It’s so considerate since people usually have to stand up right after they just sat down while waiting for the drinks/ food to be ready. The young man there also asked me how I enjoyed my food after I was done. Moreover, I really enjoyed their playlist. They play a mix of Korean and English. The English ones were just my type. The best part, the price of their drinks/ food is very competitive compared to other cafes in the area.The only thing I think they should improve on is cleanliness. The sink area in the bathroom wasn’t clean at all. For now, it’s not a deal-breaker for me and I’d definitely be going back soon.“

“This coffee shop is pretty nice. We ordered two Americanos, and they tasted fine. We visited around 4 p.m. on a Sunday, and the place wasn't too crowded. It's a good spot to work or study with their Wi-Fi available. The overall atmosphere was pleasant, though the music was a bit too loud.“

“Found this place while detoured looking for a good coffee shop. We were hungry as well so we ordered their shrimp and their chicken teriyaki sandwiches as well as their strawberry and whipped cream waffle. The food was good. The waffle small for the price. I ordered their seasonal special, a gingerbread latte. It was good. Boyfriend got mocha iced coffee. He thought his was pretty good.

Vegetarian options: One mushroom sandwich.“

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

The icing on the cake was the music as they happened to play my type of alternative bands. This is definitely a 5 star spot ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

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

“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.“

“the ambience is top notch,the food is delicious,the server adriana is so pleasant,courteous & knows her job well.The manager Sasha is hands on & ensuring everyone is comfortable.highly recommend the fois gras,the scallop souffle,the full lobster & crab for appetiser.“

“I love this place so much and it always hits the spot. It’s such a homey vibe and I’m always so impressed with how efficiently they can make food considering how small the open kitchen is. I’ve tried several things on the menu and they all slap. I love the effort that’s put into the presentation and you really can’t beat the price.

Most importantly i love that the kitchen is like 3 tias - it tugs my heart strings“

“Wonderful, caring staff(Grand Central Station)“

“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.

“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 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!“

“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.“

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

“The best in the neighborhood!“

“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.“

“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!

“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.“

Enya’s flat white was the best I’ve had outside of bondi! Lex the General Manager is super attentive and welcoming. Food is fantastic. I’ve been in New York for a week, come here everyday for breakfast. Cannot recommend highly enough“

“My go-to everyday 4 days a week! I love it here. The coffee is always fresh and well-made and so are the sandwiches. My go-to's are the avocado toast, the hummus veg sandwich and the chicken milanese sandwich. So so good. The workers are so nice and they always remember you, having your drink ready.
Thank you guys so much.“

“You should come here because they have speciality coffee and drinks, and stay for the vibes and culture. Love the concepts like the "coquito latte" and the whole attention to detail from the paintings and murals on the wall to the stoned floor and the domino table that sits in the middle of it all.“

“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⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“mi piace tanto il vostro posto,e veramente un piccolo parte della nostra Italia mandato qui a new York, grazie ragazzi 👌🥂“

“Popped in for a quick latte while waiting for a friend — ended up chilling way longer than planned. Cozy downstairs, peaceful backyard, and super fresh coffee. Baha, the barista, was incredibly kind and made the whole place feel extra welcoming. A total gem in the Upper East Side. Saved and starred!“

“Absolutely loved their pistachio soufflé—it was incredible! The cold brew was a bit too strong for our taste, but they had a wide variety of other beverages on the menu. While the drinks are a bit on the pricier side, that’s expected for NYC. Plenty of seating available with convenient table service too.“

“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 💗“

“Tout était parfait! Le sourire Le service La qualité des produits“

“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“

“I went there for dinner tonight with my fiance and we were treated like royalty, the owner and his family served us a scrumptious authenticly Italian mea and gave us a tour of the restored Blue Moon Hotel. It felt like we were stepping back in time yet with all the conveniences of modern day luxuries. Thank you for a memorable evening.“
