50 Best Cafes near Franklin Lakes

“Awesome breakfast place. Renovation of the place was very well done. Food is delish. We got the French toast, an omelette (which you can make any way you want) and avocado toast. I would highly recommend all of them! Also, coffee is solid and the hot latte was great. Awesome that they offer both almond and oatmilk for those who are lactose intolerant. Worth the visit (:“

Come on down they are open everyday except Tuesday THE FOOD IS SUPERB.....“

“I'm lucky to have stumbled upon this coffee shop, it's now one of my favs! Everything is delicious from the pastries to the drinks, the cappuccino is my favorite! Peter has been there the last few times I've visited to serve me, he's always so nice & knows how to crack a joke. The prices are reasonable, the cappuccino pictured is only $4, it's a fairly big cup. Everything is so welcoming about this place, def a must visit!“

Or take out for where ever you wish to eat...sorry!! No indoor seating, but, your there for the food, not a chair! ENJOY!!“

“We have been to Made in Italy many times during all of the ownership changes. We have been for dinner, had graduation parties and gone for dessert only. We were so happy to hear that it was open at night again. My husband recently had knee replacement and was itching to get out. We decided to go for coffee/dessert at Made in Italy. He struggled to get in the car and out when we arrived. It was 8:30 Saturday night when they close at 10. There were over 15 tables open - we asked to be seated for coffee and dessert only to be told they don’t do that. They wouldn’t seat us - they gave us their card and told us to check the menu when we got home- which we did. The second paragraph of the website says - stop by just to have a cup of our gourmet coffee. They had many tables open and preferred to turn us away. Needless to say - we will not be going back.“

“Great coffee!! Such a relaxed atmosphere with plenty of seating. Love their outdoor seating perfect for the fall!Staff and owner always very friendly.“

“This small shop makes the best (bacon) egg + cheese sandwiches around that area.The owners know what I want after I've not been there for months at a time, and have been like that since my first visit. They are always friendly and quick with my order.They have Coffee Roasters coffee, a favorite of mine, but they rarely make decaf, if that's what you're after.It is a tiny shop with limited seating, you'll probably be more comfortable in your car or back home, but there's always news on the tv to keep you amused, should you sit and eat.Park in the Rite-Aid lot or on the side street. They're 2 blocks from the train, and there's plenty of small places to shop or investigate nearby.“

“oh my god it's been 4 months since my husband and myself poped in for breakfast on our weekend getaway, and I CANNOT stop thinking about how AMAZING the food was.... looks like another 9 hour trip is in our near future 😭😍 p.s. get the pancakes🫶🏻“

“Traci has been in the restaurant business for over 20 years and it shows! Now that she has her own place the food and service are just about perfect.“

“This is a real Italian cafe nothing fancy good cappuccino and cornetto with cream and one with apricot I tried .People are nice & friendly very relaxed atmosphere. Reminds me of Italian cafe in Italy?? The girls Masiel & Yendi who work the counter were very friendly and helpful. They play Italian cards in the back and the front has outdoor seating to sip your expresso in the sun . Its on a busy street so parking is a little difficult but worth it to come just park on a side street .They do not have food here just Italian coffee , cold drinks and cornettos which are like croissants ? with cream or fruit inside.“

“Great food, friendly people“

“This cozy restaurant has left the best impression! Hospitable hosts, delicious dishes, beautiful presentation, BYOB, and wonderful desserts. I recommend it to everyone! This Kafe will definitely have you coming back here again and again.“

“Food was absolutely delicious. The prosciutto flat bread pizza was perfect and had an abundant amount of arugula. Also had a daily special skillet of shiitake mushrooms, grilled chicken, poached eggs & feta that was to die for! Definitely try this gem.“

“I ordered a 70th birthday cake for my mom and it was amazing. The cake was moist and very fresh. My mom said it made her whole day!“

“Great music and hookah. They put a lot of work into this place to make it comfortable and such a vibe. Definitely a place I’ll keep going to on weekends with friends. Weekdays are more chill, I go sometimes to just relax and have a hookah while listening to good music and being in a cool atmosphere. The ambiance is everything and comfortable couches.“

“Amazing Amazing place! Totally recommend this place!“

“The Philly Cheesesteak is the best! Good price for the amount of food you get!Breakfast is ok typical diner type food. I'm not a fan of eggs so the options are more limited for me to pancakes, waffles, etc. so we usually do lunch instead.They are open for dinner now during the week but post the specials on Instagram. They used to have a website and it no longer works, I really wish they would fix it because in this day and age usually if you don't have a website you don't last long as a business.“

“Great bagels and great sevice! Only issue I had were the rude clientele..the customers are genuinely rude .My company ordered lunch for us the other day from here and I had the penne vodka. It was so delicious and for the price I thought it would be much smaller! I would definitely get lunch from here again or even try breakfast!“

“Have you ever had a cup of coffee that tasted like real SILK? Meaning, as soon as you take your first sip, you feel like this is the most smooth, rich, and flavorful coffee you have ever had? Well, if you would like to experience this, you NEED to come to the French Press!!!“

“The pancakes, French toast,Eggs Benedict, Cranberry bread turkey,Brie sandwich,just everything you put in your mouth is DELICIOUS 😋😋😋😋😋😋“

“Panera bread woodcliff Lake is the best ❤️❤️❤️❤️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“Shop has a wonderful atmosphere and the staff is incredibly kind! I went to pick out some coffee beans, and Dalton was so helpful with showing me the variety of beans! We landed on Burundi after he was kind enough to make me a pour over with it, and I’m so grateful for his patience with me and all of my questions. Definitely going to come back with my friends and family“

“Let me tell you about their delicious sandwiches and catering. Ordered for my daughter’s shower who lives in Ramsey. The food was delivered on time including sandwiches, salads, fruit salad, iced teas and lemonade and all the utensils and serving utensils needed. The guest were so surprised that I thought to cater from Panera but I’ve always enjoyed their food and it seemed like the perfect menu for a hot summer day. We had one small issue which their manager Charles took care of immediately in a way that superseded my expectations. Great customer service and experience. Give them a try you’ll be thrilled you did. Eleanor Z.“
