47 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 (:“

“Great breakfast variety and good service.“

“Just happened to walk in after my usual coffee place in the area was closed for the day. This has to be one of the best lattes I’ve ever had. Woman behind the counter was SO nice and even let me try a few of their cold foams. Will definitely be back.“

“Great food! Great Service!“

“Thank you for your recent addition of brown sugar on your menu. It really compliments the Matcha Milk tea with tapioca that I ordered. My nine year old daughter loves the mango fruit tea with mango popping bubbles. The owners are super nice and very hospitable and the place is very cozy. Looking forward to the addition of ice cream for the summer and hopefully sushi soon!!“

“This place is beautiful, quaint, and welcoming. The desserts and pastries are delicious! My only critique is that it seems that flavor had been unecesarily sacrificed for “healthiness” on a few dishes like the oatmeal pancake, and quiche. Regardless, we will be back for the delicious coffee and pastries next time we are on the east coast!“

“Albert’s’s has been a go to favorite for many years and Albert is an excellent host. The food never disappoints and the service is always great. I recommend Albert’s HoHokus whole heartedly.“

“Saw this place called Mr.Waffles. Looked appetizing so I checked it out. Omg freaking amazing. Have to check out their full menu of waffles & juices. I ordered the Waffles 4 in 1 Pistachio Nutella, white chocolate, kinder bueno, fruit as you can see from the photo looked & tasted amazing!!!!“

“Wayne Hot Bagels supplied breakfast for Teacher Appreciation Week and did a fabulous job! They were friendly, courteous, patient and worked with me to find items that fit within the budget. They even personally delivered for us free of charge. They truly were a pleasure to deal with and I would definitely use them again for future events!“

“One of the best kept secrets in Wayne - come here for savory soups and delicious sandwiches. There are a new selection of soups each week, but thankfully the jerk chicken sandwich is a staple (I order it everytime)!“

“This place was advertised on uber eats. I decided try and MY GOD. By far the best breakfast sandwiches I've had in a while. Portion for price is crazy, and it is made with love. You can tell whoever made this food understands what makes food taste great. Im going to try the rest of the menu at some point but their breakfast sandwiches are AMAZING. Don’t walk, run to this place. I look forward to my next order or visit!“

“My favorite restaurant in NJ, if you haven’t visited you’re missing out! Delicious quality food, fantastic service, intimate counter top and regular table seating available, and a short wait for your food. Reserve a table or get there and be prepared to wait, this place is usually hopping. The staff are amazing folks and are sure to make you laugh and smile. You’ll feel like family every time you visit. Stop in today!

Wheelchair accessibility: Accesible curb, door is manual, and inside could be hard to navigate in a wheelchair during peak times. But during slow times there is plenty of room to maneuver and the staff has easily adjusted seating for wheelchair users to join a table.“

“Just Perfect“

“A huge variety coffee,and tea Awsome! its exactly what we needed in the area.“

“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 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.“

“Just tried the emenadas (pollo, beef, queso). They were excellent. Will be back for more food.“

“Our / Nuestra Passion is a great little coffee spot. The staff is friendly and professional. I had the fruit crêpes on Sunday. I thought they were the best. I was ready to go back Monday for more they are closed. The smoothie my daughter had was delicious fresh strawberries and mango. I only wish I realized sooner they were located right on Main Street . I have been there twice now and always a great time. Best coffee and food . Great staff friendly and kind.“

“We stopped by over the weekend on a bit of a whim, but I'm so happy that we did because it was a very pleasant experience. From the outside. It looks kind of like it's out of date or something, but inside it felt much more refreshing and like a classic coffee shop feel. It was pretty cozy and they had a bunch of places to sit and talk, including along the windows in the front if you want a people watch. I thought their prices were reasonable and the girl who helped us was nice. It seemed like they only had one employee so the service was a little bit slow, but we still didn't wait very long so it was no problem at all.“

“Excellent Italian cafe with great food ! Family cafe with Lots of Imported Italian products. they had products that I never seen before in Italy . The owner and the lady Rosanna were very friendly welcoming and helpful. I had a cappuccino with a bomboloni with cream which was scrumptious! I decided to eat Lunch I picked out chicken Cutlet with a Cutlet cucumber tomato String bean and red onion salad. Everything was delicious. The chicken was humongous. I had leftovers they have outdoor area in the front String bean and red onion salad. Everything was delicious. The chicken was humongous. I had leftovers they have outdoor area in the front of the cafe. I was very impressed with this place and I will return again. This is a nice café to bring family and friends.“

“I love everything about this place! The food is outstanding and the staff are amazing! Shout out to Christa, who is the soul of the place, and Cory, who goes above and beyond (crayons & paper for my little one). The cafe is a second home to me :-)“

“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.“

“Cute and cozy cafe perfect for a weekend brunch! I got the black honey ham panini during their valentines brunch special, and it was delicious. The panini was crispy and the flavors and textures were balanced between the gooey cheese, crispy apples, and slightly sweet ham.“

“Smoothies are yummy and the sweet potato brownies! Have to go back to try other things Everything looks yummy and healthy!“

“⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Busy Bee Lunch in Riverdale, NJ is a must-visit for hot dog lovers! The moment you step up to the window, you’re welcomed by a friendly staff that are always cheerful and ready to make your dining experience exceptional.

“Food was good first time I went but second time I got a bacon egg and cheese on a long roll at 9am on Friday 03/08/24 and the bacon was burnt black. It was basically just black char, eggs and cheese.You guys need to keep an eye on your cookOther than that the milkshake was good and service was greatEdit: Owner got back to me and apologized for the quality of the food.Thanks Be“

“I’m Soo in love with this place“

“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.“

“I recommend everything about it. The food is phenomenal. The service is impeccable. You won’t be disappointed.“

“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.“

“Love it here!! Everything was spectacular!“

“the food is fabulous and the workers are outstanding nice and cozy to bring the whole family it's an awesome place“

“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.“

“Amazing Amazing place! Totally recommend this place!“

“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!!!“

“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!“

“Absolutely delighted with my experience at Forno Pizza in Wayne, NJ!

I crafted my own Pizza al Tonno, which was simply delicious – finished every bite!

The espresso and dessert were the perfect ending to a fantastic meal.

Forno Pizza truly captures the authentic Mediterranean taste right in the heart of Wayne.

It's been a while since I've had such a good pizza, and this one definitely brought back memories of Italy.

A must-try for anyone craving genuine Italian flavors!"“

“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.“
