“I have been a customer of KFT Fort Lee for 7 years and running now, around their time of opening in Washington Bridge Plaza. Back then, I'd just come once a month and as a boba purist, just ordering straight bubble tea in the OG flavors - classic, taro, and almond. I was a repeat customer due to the consistency that no other tea places in the area have - the fact that the boba texture and temperature was more often than not sublime, achieving the perfect ratio of chewy vs melty in the tapioca. But after they introduced the mango tea flavor last autumn and shortly after that free stickers (usually anime but we've also picked up Disney/Marvel and even adult-oriented humor), my 9-year old was hooked and thus, Kung Fu has joined McDonald's (Free Fry Fridays) and Moe's (Kids Eat Free Sundays) as a never-miss weekly event for us. Money-saving promos at KFT are few and far between but the amazing tea baristas behind the counter are so welcoming, generous, and make drinks so decadently delicious that you never feel short-changed.Speaking of, shout out to Yuna, Zaida, Paulina, Misa, Irene, and Henry for making KFT truly the best place to grab a multitude of satisfying and exotic beverages. Only their levels of service and artistry, infused with their sweet sweet vibrant personalities can compare to the explosive sugary goodness (literally - best experienced in the mango "popping bubbles" in a fruity slush, one of my favorties now - yes, I've come a long way from the classic boba-only days) you get in their crazy-delicious concoctions. Just last week in fact was quite the memorable experience when Yuna crafted the perfect Leading Lady - liquid peaches and cream heaven. Peach is hands down my favorite articifical flavor and I've held an appreciation for Princess Peach for the past 35 years - predating "Peach", during her "Toadstool" days of Super Marios 1-3 - and Yuna did her justice in the most refreshingly pleasing way. Yuna, you and the rest of the team are total sweethearts. We'll see ya'll again soon.“
“A friend & I found this place when looking for a spot with good sandwiches and it's become an instant favorite! We were welcomed by friendly staff as soon as we walked in. As a lover of all melts, I knew I had to get their spicy tuna melt and it did not disappoint! It came with a cup of orzo pasta salad which was a nice addition. For dessert I got one of their baked goods with coconut and oats; very tasty and not too sweet. If you need any more convincing, we brought a 2 year old with us and he liked everything we ordered!“
“Best paninis ever! Friendly staff. Food is always delicious and fresh. I wish they were open later but I understand their hours. I could eat here everyday. Prices are reasonable. $9-13 for a panini. Not bad prices as it lasts me usually for two meals (depending on how hungry I am, and if I can stop myself from scarfing the whole sandwich down because it is so delicious it can be hard to stop myself).“
“My favorite takeout Indian in the area! I usually go Chicken 65 for an appetizer which has (in my opinion) the perfect spicy level between flavor and spicy. For meals, you can’t go wrong with the Chicken Tikka Masala (or Vindaloo) + Garlic “
“I visited during the grand opening special and ordered a bubble tea and a taro bubble tea! I think both tasted good, nothing special, but I did like the chewy texture of the boba! I also thought the staff were very welcoming and nice! They gave me a boba plushy keychain and a donut as part of their promotion! The space is a bit small inside but has a few stools to sit! This is a great addition to the bubble tea options in this area!“

“I met a friend at Tartinery Wednesday afternoon, so it was not crowded. I ordered a cup of latte and warm apple tart. The tart was indeed warm and a scoop of vanilla ice cream complimented it. We stayed there for more than an hour, enjoying our conversation. The workers were present when we needed something, and it gave relaxed atmosphere. I was pleasantly surprised that they gave some discount as my friend is a nearby university student. I would return to Tartinery to try breakfast or lunch next time.“
“Amazing Fresh Onigari (rice balls) & delicious teas! (Cold, Hot, Bubble, No-Bubble) Support a local Mom & Pop shop & get fresh tasty food & drinks — win win win!!! (The line outside moves, one customer/group inside at a time due to COVID, & everything is made fresh to order — your patience will be rewarded!)“
“Honestly the food is AMAZING! AMAZING !!!!! BUT ...... The environment is not the best. It's tight, too serious, the food isn't the fastest and it is pricey. but I will say the food is worth it. I would just love the ambiance to change. Then it would be perfect. Absolutely perfect!“
“While walking back from my class trip at the Whitney Museum, I stumbled upon this wonderful shop and just had to have a look. I kept peaking over the menu by the window and was surprised with how many options they had, they had avocado toast, Açaí bowls, smoothies, juices etc… Since I was running late to my next class I just decided to settle for a smoothie. When I walked inside, the shop had such a beautiful atmosphere, with a few juices/ pastries on display. I even noticed some fresh fruit hanging in the back. I had a bit of trouble with my credit card on the card reader ( probably kept pulling it out to fast ) and the wonderful lady behind the cashier ( who’s name I wish I asked for ) was so sweet and understanding that she just didn’t mind helping me out with that. When she finished making the smoothie my goodness I was blown away by the flavor. I picked a smoothie that had mango, mint, spinach, pineapple and honey called Mango Tango. Such a good combination of ingredients!! I usually don’t finish smoothies all the way but with this one, I drank it to the bottom of the cup haha I highly recommend stopping by this place, it’s like a hidden gem!! ❤️❤️“
“The Healthy in Dyckman Juice Bar is one of my new favorites! The variety of food options available is mind boggling and I mean that in a good way. As someone who doesn’t eat dairy, I love it here. My favorite thing I’ve tried so far is the Salmon rice bowl. It’s so healthy, delicious, filling, and well priced! The avocado toast with the eggs was hitting too! You must give this gem a try. Thanks Juan for your great service today.Dietary restrictions: If you’re vegan, vegetarian, or don’t eat dairy this place you’ll feel right at home. Healthy vibes apply.“
“This is a tiny little totally unassuming deli located off the beaten path on W 107th & Manhattan Ave that for some reason makes unanticipatedly excellent croissants.I grew up in Paris where you can find an excellent croissant for 0.90€ on every street corner. So when they try to sell me croissant for $5/ $6/ $7 here in New York, well, I tell them that’s an absurd price and I turn around and I walk out.Hakan sells these excellently executed croissants for $2.50/ each. Everything was as it properly should be: not dry or bread-like as is often the case here in the US; nice and properly buttery as it’s supposed to be; flaky on outside and doughy on inside as it’s supposed to be. An excellent croissant. Excited to try the other pastries! Hakan and his employee were great - super friendly and affable and offered me great service ?“
“I ABSOLUTELY LOVE THIS PLACE!! ?? I am always satisfied with my order and always keep coming back to doordash for more!! I want to give a quick shout out to Michael and Cariluz for crafting the best amazing salad that I enjoy always !! ? thank you again i’m gonna keep coming back :-)“

“My two nieces and I popped in this morning on our way to the Natural History Museum. I’ll admit I was hesitant but thankfully I listened to my nieces! I had the avocado and eggs in a crepe, which was the best gluten-free sandwich I have ever had. Did not miss the bread at all. My 14 year old chose the Nutella crepe with banana and the 9 ounce Açaí bowl. Oldest selected one of the big bowls … it was a work of art. Highly recommend and we will be back on our next trip. All the best on your growth plans!“
“Was just walking by and the vibrsnt colors peaked my interest and had ti go in-The best tasting smoothie I've ever ordered. As a guy who lives on chick fil a and chipotle, I can taste the healthiness. Very fresh, very healthy, very happy.Probably falls into the premium product category, but as far as getting what you pay for, it's a 10 out of 10 for me.Will come back again!“
“Recent dinner at Tacombi definitely hit the spot. The tacos are packed with well seasoned meat, the crispy fish was nicely dressed with slaw and sauce, the salsa are delicious and pack a nice little punch. The tostada was crispy with a flavorful avocado topping and the quesadilla just barely visible under the mountain of Al pastor. My michelada was nice but I'd give the agave wine margs a pass if you're a marg purist. Juan Carlos took great care of us. On hand just when we needed with what we needed, friendly, and left us plenty of time to chow and digest before sending us on our merry way. We really enjoyed the little cabana - it's nice when the COVID inspired street cabana matches the good vibes indoors so even the dog can enjoy the night out.“
“Wow! Went on a rainy Tuesday early afternoon to the place, and the owner/server was so courteous. I ordered a couple of sandwiches and a pudding bread, and it was amazing. This was so worth the trip. Please pay this little establishment if you're vegan (and even if you're not). You won't be disappointed as the friendly service and quality of food you receive. I'll be back.“
“I work 12 hour shifts near here and I’m always soooo tired halfway through. I come here for a quick pick me up. The lady behind the counter is the absolute sweetest, drinks aside- she always lightens my mood. The açaí bowls are to die for- not mid. I’ve tried so many spots in Astoria and Vela is consistently yummy. Today. I went in for a milk tea and they ran out of boba. She went an extra mile to charge me for a medium despite me ordering a large! Soooo sweet. ??“
“I went to the Crumbly Cafe & Bakery on Second Avenue this week for the first time. I ordered the feta and spinach bistro and it was one of the best baked goods I've had in a very long time. I was so impressed that I just placed an on-line order for 8 different items to try and can't wait to pick them up tomorrow. In addition, the wonderfully talented baker, Ms. Miriam and her lovely daughter, Mia, could not have been nicer and more welcoming. It will definitely be a favorite and am so glad of the new discovery!“
“I tried this place after hearing about it on Instagram. Me and my husband went after the Washington Heights 5K that he participated in. We came a little early because I thought they opened at 10 but then I realized today is Sunday and they open an hour later so we went into Marshalls to kill time. Me and my husband both got juice. It was the best juice I’ve ever tasted. Usually when I have fresh juice at another place, most times they are not served cold and refreshing, and this place I had it cold and refreshing how I love it. I am planning to come back again so I can try one of the sandwiches also. I hope maybe in the future they open up a location in Queens.“
“Great food, great smoothies, and wonderful customer service! There's also a good selection of high quality vegetarian and vegan items (both food and the smoothies). Would recommend for a quick bite or a full-on meal. Thanks for such a pleasant lunch!“
“Love this place, really a relatively hidden gem. Everything they do is pretty spot on. Focaccia is great, pastries are great, chicken cutlets are great. Underrated for sure - there quality indicates they’d be busy all the time but yet it seems slow when i’m there to pick up lunch or dinner. Really hoping they stick around.“
“Happy with the Hackensack branch, before I had to drive 20 minutes now I have it close to home. The food is delicious and what I love most are their juices and smoothies..!! If you are on a diet, it has green juices and healthy smoothies. If not, I recommend my favorite, which is sapote or Mamey..!! The girls are nice, good service, super clean. Recommended 100%Dietary restrictions: Well I see that it has green juices, although I don't like them...!! But those who want healthy smoothies this is the place.Parking: Well, it has about 14 parking spaces, I don't think I counted them correctly, but the good thing is that I always find parking.Kid-friendliness: The portions are perfect for the little ones in the house, the empanadas and the yucca buns I know they love them.“
“Me and friends picked up 2 cakes and the service was only around a 5 minute wait! It's small in size compared to other locations but the interior was very cute! I really enjoy Mango Mango and I would definitely recommend any of the crepe cakes, crepes, and hot tea (dining in). The waitress was sweet and our purchase came with a lovely reusable bag! :) “
“The easiest place to eat vegetarian. It’s so flavorful and everything has been 10/10. I tried their cashew ricotta and pear with honey drizzle, amazing. Their lentil soup; amazing. Their cauliflower stew, so good. Everything is amazing here. If you’re looking for a switch up on your diet, I can’t think of a better place. Feels amazing to eat something tasty but not feel bloated and tired after. So good! New favorite local spot“
“Delicious! Stumbled upon this place when I was searching for a quick bite. I ordered delivery and the food came very quickly. I was pleasantly surprised how big and hefty the bowls were! We got the bulgogi rice bowl and a make your own bowl with fried chicken. Both had generous heaping portions of meat. I would say my appetite is fairly large and I couldn't even finish half of my bowl! The bulgogi was tender and juicy, and the vegetables that came with my bowl were delicious. The make your own bowl was also phenomenal! The cucumber kimchi and pickled turnips were some of my favorites. Definitely adding this place to my regular rotation of meals and I can't wait to have it again!“
“the entire staff is so friendly and amazing. Full of smiles and just an overall great experience. I was fortunate enough to meet Cindy (the owner) who is an intelligent, funny, and amazing person. Stop by chinatown and try the delicious eel with purple rice with some farm fresh mango bubble tea“
“I decided to check this place out before work. I got the strawberry banana in a large. It was smooth and delicious. The cashier was sweet and friendly also. I will definitely be back. It is pretty cool you get points for joining on Cash app“
“Diana and her Little Chef team catered a few 60 person events for us. She was so easy to work with, and her team is really great as well. We did a cocktail reception with passed hors d'oeuvres, and her food is delicious. She will work with you on a menu within your budget and dietary restrictions, and it really feels like Diana and her team care about the success of your event and making sure all goes smoothly. I can't recommend her highly enough!“

“I ordered a chai latte on a Saturday at 12:30 PM. It was perfect flavor, sweetness and temperature. I got it with almond milk. I brought in a bagel from another place. However, I saw that they also sell bagels and I heard people ordering an egg sandwich as well as other items, I also noticed they have healthy shakes as well. Since I live nearby I got a punchcard and I hope to visit soon. I'm not 100% sure but I'm pretty positive that it's Latin owned possibly female owned as well. There's not too much seating, I believe there's three tables of two inside and two tables outside. Luckily, not too many people stay for long periods of time I was able to stay for two hours, talking to my friend with no problem.“
“Nice atmosphere, really tasty and cheap meals. We had lunch, 2 people for $26 which is great for the area. Very generous plates and burritos, with drink included and little carrot cake for desert. Only if you really eat a lot will be able to finish the plate! Recommend!!“
“Stumbled upon this joint randomly on my way home and what a surprise!The staff is really friendly and explained some of the sandwiches for me, decided to get the Chimi with chicken and the lava cake. Both were delicious and not the mention the fair prices.Although they don’t have an indoor sitting area, they have a small outdoor hut if you’d like to stay and dine in.Truly a hidden gem in the neighborhood, can’t wait to try some of their other specialities!“
“This is THE smoothie place to go - hands down!I’ve been to at least 10 smoothie places in NYC (primarily Manhattan) and never been more satisfied with the drink or service than here. Honestly no other smoothie places can compare. I can order my drink within the moment I step inside (the workers are highly attentive to customers) and wait less than 5 minutes until my smoothie’s been made.Very smooth, no chunks, absolutely addictively delicious. My top choice is always the Lychee Valentine, followed by Avomazing or Smooth Avocado, but you really cannot go wrong with any of their choices.“
“This coffee shop is a gem. It’s neat, modern, clean, and the atmosphere is super soothing. There are words of affirmation on their mugs, which was a nice surprise.I had a latte with oat milk and it was refreshing. Seems to be a good place to order some coffee, read a book or get some work done. I didn’t get to check if there was WiFi or not, but this is a place I’d be willing to use my hotspot for.The staff were very warm and welcoming — I’ll definitely be back when I’m in the neighborhood to try a pastry or two! Thank you.“
“The Tropical bowl was beautiful! I love to eat açaí bowl, as an afternoon snack or as breakfast and the truth is, the taste was delicious. I find the prices affordable and the service 10/10. I will continue trying this store, its products, I know it will not disappoint me.“
“Awesome little coffee shop. They have a huge menu with a variety of options. They also have a large selection of juices and wellness shots. I only got some coffee and juice but would definitely come back to try some of their breakfast items!“
“Coming to this juice press actually makes my day every day. Gregory (who I believe is the manager) is the kindest man and provides such great service. I love juice press for its great selection of healthy food, but even more so for the hospitality coming from Gregory and the staff at this location. They are always smiling, helpful, and pleasant. I never want to get lunch anywhere else! I have sampled some off the menu flavors (chocolate mousse, peanut butter and jelly that are SO GOOD I hope they become actual menu items). It just really makes a difference grabbing lunch a few times a week and knowing you will come in to a warm welcome and positive atmosphere rather than other places where you are barely even greeted and trying to get you in and out as quick as possible. Love the staff, love the service, love the food!Dietary restrictions: Only place I have ever found that has organic, no added sugar, gluten free, and dairy free options. Very very good selection for strict, clean diets.“
“Delicious tea - not too sweet even at the regular sugar amount. There’s options to adjust sugar and ice levels. Lots of flavors offered and a generous amount of bubbles.The store has a variety of East Asian snacks as well, ranging from candy and noodles to sauce.The staff member was very friendly also. Highly recommend supporting this local shop instead of the various chains around“
“Very cute spot! I was impressed by the menu before I even arrived so I knew already that I wanted the Choco thin mint and open avocado toast! The consistency of the smoothie was perfect and the avocado toast flavor and crunch was tasty ! Will be back for the empanadas!“
“Very nice people with very good vegan.food. We got there vegan version of a Philly Cheesesteak and a Blt and being from philly this could be blasphemous but it was very tasty and much better then some steak sandwiches i had in philly. We both enjoyed them very much and they give you a side Mac and cheese or potatoes salad and kale with a really tasty vinagarette. Very enjoyable dinner. Just no there is no dining inside so we took it to go.“
“Cute tiny cafe with delicious, gourmet health made completely from scratch. The owner/chef is very professional, quick yet thorough and careful. We ordered a smoothie, veggie empanada, Mediterranean salad, veggie bowl with egg and a falafel wrap. The 2 large fried eggs were cooked medium to perfection as requested. Every bite was powerful and delicious, our toes were dancing while we ate!“
“This is a fantastic find! With very little juice bars in this area, Tutti Frutti juice bar deserves a repeated and loyal visit. Service is friendly, juices are fresh and healthy, the menu is incredibly diverse. Although space is limited, it's definitely not cramped. If you're driving, looking for parking in the surrounding area shouldn't be that bad, just don't double park directly out front, this part of Park Avenue is incredibly active. Ultimately, Tutti Frutti is a go, and a go again!“

“It is a super nice and pleasant place, the fruit salads and their cholado are delicious and the service is very good, I always go when I can and the experience is excellent.I will soon have my birthday there with my friends and family.Super recommended.❤️“
“Align is the perfect spot in the neighborhood for your on the go cup of joe.By far the best aspect of align is their incredible staff, who greet you with the kind of positivity that’s so important when starting off your day.The inside is kind & cozy, a safe haven in the midst of new York’s benevolent chaos. The coffee is superb and so are the (gluten free) crepes- my favorite is the bacon egg and cheese with their special sauce.With just 3 seats inside, it’s not always the place to sit with your coffee, but it’s always a great place to get your coffee.Also, for fans of adaptogens/antioxidants, try the chagaccino, the chaga mushroom-infused spin on your morning espresso.“
“The chicken is hit or miss, which for a rotisserie takeout place is not really acceptable. The sides are always really good, but the real gem here is the gyro and seasoned fries. The service is awful though. Guy at the counter had no greeting, just played on his phone. Didn't use gloves when he handled my food (people use their phones while on the toilette so would been nice to use gloves or wash hands). He didn't say thank you, just handed it to me in cold silence. My advice would be to hire someone who can at least pretend that they want to be there and act like they appreciate your business. With so many great take out places around, this one is unfortunately an easy pass for now on.*** UPDATE *** Excellent management. Clearly strives to fix flaws and makes things right. Employee referred to was trained. Most companies would never take any action, so very impressive. Also, company website offers 10% discount on all orders. Never realized this!“
“This is an excellent smoothie and acai bowl place, with a very fitting name! All of the fruit was fresh and smoothies are made to order. I was able to customize a smoothie with almond milk, spinach, banana, Nutella, blueberries, and avocado. It was actually surprisingly good and hit just the spot. So glad to have found this healthy juice/smoothie place in Jersey City!“
“Coffee is good, ambiance is nice... and good music, got me shazaming stuff. Plenty of seating--they are not one of these new coffee shops with no seating. At closing time they offer free pastries to people willing to leave a nice review (totally unrelated, obviously)“
“Bubble Tea-licious is one of the best bubble tea spots in Jersey City. I’m pretty particular about my bubble tea and I just love every sip of the flavorful options they have! The staff is incredibly sweet and the lo-fi music sets the mood for a great study environment. 10/10 would recommend!“
“Perfect start to the day! We stayed here 4 or 5 times during our week in NY for breakfast. We tested porridge, acai bowls and smoothies. The "Hell's Kitchen Sink" tastes awesome (with peanut butter and cocoa nips.) The smoothies Boo Berry, Gymbuddy and Energy Boost are each made with almond or coconut milk and protein powder .We loved everything! The service is very friendly and There are only a few seats, so we were there early (about 8 / 9h) and had no problems getting a small table.Now we are back home and miss the delicious bowls!“
“Fairly new resident of Cliffside park. Wanted a place to get seamoss without ordering it online and it being a more expensive hassle. Also a place for juicing and other natural foods. This place was right in my backyard, and before i called with many questions on seamoss choices and how much can i get to freeze and etc. they not only were patient, professional but also berry knowledgeable. This place offers so many different sea moss variations , you can’t go wrong with any! Tested the ginger tubers flavor and WOW. Immediately changed my order to include that liquid gold literally. I got 12 jars of seamoss, including the ginger tumeric, blue spirulina, green spirulina and purple. I mean the products are absolutely top tier abd i will be a repeat customer.Please show up and show out for this local gen!! Amazing staff, amazing products, diamond in fort Lee !!“
