“Stopped by for coffee / breakfast and it was a great experience! Can't go wrong here for food, coffee, ambiance, or price point.

I ordered a Cappacino and Breakfast wrap with spicy sauce and both were delicious. The garlic wrap with sausage and spicy sauce was spicy without hitting too hard, light but filling. The Cappacino was delicious and did not need any sugar or add ins.

While the food and coffee were being prepared we had the opportunity to take a look around, the art on the walls featured some of my favorite games and characters with beautiful art styles. The couch is insanely comfortable too! We enjoyed listening to the ambient music while we played some Neo Turf Masters on the Arcade Machine (I beat my husband 3 wins, 1 draw).

The owner Camille was very friendly and talked with us about different food options, what we liked for our drinks and food, and where we were from. He also mentioned that he holds boardgame nights sometimes at the cafe, which we are excited to give a try! His attention to details for our orders was appreciated!

We definitely want to come back soon with friends!“

“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 new coffee shop! The staff is super nice the younger woman and the older woman always have a smile on their faces, which makes the place feel really welcoming. The service is fast and friendly, and the whole shop has a clean, modern vibe. Definitely a great spot to grab coffee and relax in paterson“

“Best hot dogs- EVER!! The homade-fries are delicious! Get them with cheese sauce on top! Sit outside at the picnic table,, enjoy the view of the large brook running along side you as you eat! Or take out for where ever you wish to eat...sorry!! No indoor seating, but, your there for the food, not a chair! ENJOY!!“

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

“It’s amazing how many businesses have macchiato listed on their menu and don’t know what it is or how to make it. This is NOT one of those places. And, the Caffe Barbaro beans?! Well, placing an order when I get home! If I would say anything not specifically positive, it would be that I wish they were open earlier. But what savages are up at 4:30am? 🤣 See you folks again next visit!! I look forward to it!“

“Today my mom and I stumbled upon Ramsey Corner Café in Ramsey, New Jersey, and what a wonderful find it was!

From the moment we walked in, we were greeted with smiles and a warm welcome from the staff. Our server, Maria, was incredibly friendly, upbeat, and cheerful. Great service can make all the difference, and she definitely helped make our experience special.

The daily specials looked amazing, and the menu had so many tempting options. While we were seated, I happened to notice the owner outside wiping down tables and getting everything ready for the day. It may seem like a small thing, but it spoke volumes about the pride and care he takes in his business. It was refreshing to see that level of dedication firsthand.

Now let’s talk about the omelet! I honestly can’t remember the last time I had an omelet this good. I ordered one with sausage, turkey bacon, onions, tomatoes, and bell peppers. It was cooked perfectly, packed with flavor, and beautifully presented. So many places overcook omelets or leave them bland, but this one was absolutely delicious. Even my mom could tell how much I was enjoying it!

The hash browns were perfectly cookednot greasy at alland everything tasted fresh and homemade.

I am so happy we discovered this gem. I can’t wait to come back, try more items from the menu, and tell my friends and family about it. Ramsey Corner Café has definitely earned a new loyal customer!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Highly recommend!“

“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!“

“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.“

“First time here ,came from VA to try the Knafeh,ordered the na3meh and the khishneh,both amazing but my personal fav is the crunchy one ,also ordered a Turkish coffe , fed yaffa,pistachio frappe and a mochito ,all orders where made to perfection,keep up the good work guys !“

“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.“

“At Gostili Café, located at 279 Harrison Ave, you’ll find the best traditional Albanian food with an authentic and unforgettable taste. The respect and hospitality you receive are unmatched, and the place is always clean and welcoming. I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a great dining experience!”⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“Got a quesadilla and was a little skeptical but it was actually very flavorful, the interior is very clean and well decorated and the effort they’ve put into their cafe is apparent, I would def recommend it was good and pretty inexpensive.

Also their green sauce fire get that green sauce..“

“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.“

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

“What a cozy little place and delicious fresh breakfast and brunch .“
