50 Best Cafes near Garfield

“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.“

“Stumbled upon this place by chance and couldn’t have been happier! The food is absolutely delicious — fresh, flavorful, and clearly made with care. The new owner and staff are incredibly friendly and go out of their way to make you feel welcome. You can tell they put a lot of heart and passion into running this place, and it really shows in both the service and the atmosphere. Highly recommend stopping by if you're in the area — it's a hidden gem worth discovering!“

“Great place to chill� and enjoy the lovely autumn weather this time of the year! Love This place“

“Ygeor was extremely attentive to us at the table. Came with my mom and grandma to catch up and the food was great and even though they were out of some stuff and had to do some swaps everything was great. Great lighting, pretty solid food and prices, would come again for sure.“

“We absolutely love the Kurly Kurdish shop. I had a Kurly kone with cherry vanilla ice cream. This is the best sweet treat. I recommend everyone stop in and try one!“

“This cafe is so lovely. I had the pleasure of Desi and Aida assisting me with my order. They made the most delicious soy chai with amazing foam. Their desserts were amazing as well. It was refreshing to be greeted with such positive and friendly energy in New York. I can't wait to come back when I am in the area. Make sure to come to this cafe if you want a lovely experience and great food and drinks!“

“I was traveling for my studies, and it was incredible for the time I spent here. Our bartender was Frank, a great person. I won't forget him. This place is perfect for disconnecting and getting a good meal. Without a doubt, I'll be back on my next trip.“

“Great coffee, great pastries, great man. Sam is the nicest man there is. He invited me to come eat in his own home. His wife's homemade pastries are the best!“

“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.“

“If I could come back for every meal I would. From the hostess and host to the servers and food everything was beyond incredible.

Order the tasting menu. You’ll love every bit of it. The little details were incredible and every single member of their team went above and beyond. Will definitely be back as often as possible.“

“My friend Cristina, who had been raving about this place for a long time, treated us to my husband’s birthday brunch here, and she was not wrong. What a gem! The service was outstanding, the food was delicious, and the place was very clean with a nice atmosphere. It’s also BYOB, which makes it even better. Such a great addition to the community. Highly recommend and can’t wait to come back with my family!“

“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.“

“Delicious crepe and latte! Wonderful staff. Would definitely return to try some Turkish treats.“

“Wonderful, caring staff(Grand Central Station)“

“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.“

“Really happy to find that place! Great real coffee and very friendly staff.“

“Looooved the atmosphere at this cute Puerto Rican owned cafe. The coquito latte?! AMAZING. My friend got the avocado toast and I got the breakfast sandwich on Mexican bread. 9/10! The only downfall was that people were comfortably seated and no one was really policing the tables, but my friend and I finally got a seat and were able to enjoy the experience a little better.“

“This place is such a vibe! I visited after my eye dr appointment and it most certainly won’t be my last time visiting. I had a special coffee called the Samoa and it was amazing. I also had a chocolate croissant that was flaky and filled to the brim. I’m writing this review days After visiting this establishment because I can’t get the coffee out of my head. If you were in the area and need a place to work remotely or just enjoy a great cup of coffee, this is the place for you.“

“I Love the Glorious Juice! So refreshing and good for me!!“

“Beautiful array of pastries“

“My fiancée and I come here probably 2-3 times a month for a casual weekend coffee.

I can’t believe that this spot only has 200 five star reviews.

It’s easily the best combo of ambiance, food and coffee in midtown without a doubt and it’s reasonably priced too.

It’s also one of the few coffee shops that actually has seating where you can relax and hear yourself think.

I’m honestly a little worried that this place will show up on influencers’ radar and my favorite local spot will be overrun“

“It was my first visit, and I had Bulgogi Bliss, Shrimp Crunch, and an iced latte. Everything was delicious! The store had a lovely ambiance as well. I would definitely go back and recommend it to my friends and family. It’s definitely a must-try in Hoboken!“

“Mochaccino, an exquisite tall glass of deliciousness!
One delish croissant deserves another. I started with the king of croissants, the Tiramisu, it had a presence that commands. My 2nd selection was the ever so lively Almond croissant. Each sweet treat was a delight with every bite. Quinoa Salad, it had a bounty of spinach and other delish healthy options like chickpeas and avocados.
The staff is incredible, thanks for your hospitality!“

“Wonderful place, delicious food and great atmosphere“

“My wife and I stopped by without knowing much about it. What a great experience! The pasties, sweet and savory, are superb. We both had macha, which was expertly made. The space is clean and welcoming with great music playing and the staff was obviously proud of their work, attentive and patient. I highly recommend!“

“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 read their amazing reviews, I had to add me 2 cents. Definitely try their French toast. Brings back my memories of being a kid, and filling as f...... Great for breakfast, lunch or dinner!!!“

“I visit Sweet Jeans more than once per day when I am working - it really is the BEST cafe I've ever been to. Every single staff member is welcoming, friendly, and treats you like family from your very first visit. The coffee, sandwiches and pastries are literally incredible.

I find myself wishing I was at Sweet Jean's whenever I'm not in Newark.. there's nothing else quite like it!“

“Great breakfast variety and good service.“

“Lovely atmosphere and did my breakie the way this Australia gal likes it. Hope the new location does well!“

“It’s not easy finding a quick spot in New York that checks all the boxes—clean, high-quality food, warm service, and a cute vibe—but Daily Provisions nailed it.

We ordered the Caesar salad with salmon, and it was perfect. Think crispy chickpeas, a soft egg, kale, Parmesan, and a creamy anchovy dressing that actually tasted like anchovy—in the best way. The grilled cheese was buttery, golden, and exactly what you want it to be. Brussels sprouts were a great side, crisp and flavorful without being oily.

Shoutout to Atiana and the team for being so kind and welcoming. There’s indoor seating, and the space feels calm and modern without trying too hard. We’ll be back.“

“Amid the buzz of NoMad, Slate Cafe feels like a breath of calm. The interiors are thoughtfully designed neutral tones, subtle textures, and that perfect window light that makes your coffee moment feel a little more cinematic.

The baristas know their craft without the attitude, and each cup reflects that care especially the flat white, which somehow always lands just right. Their bites are seasonal and intentional, but it’s the vibe that lingers with you: easygoing, grown-up, and refreshingly distraction-free.

Slate isn’t trying to be everything. It’s just quietly, confidently good. And in a city that never stops, that stillness is rare and worth returning to.“

“Melanie did an AMAZING job on my sister's Game of Thrones themed couple shower. I had some ideas but she really took what I said and made my ideas into something more. Not only did everything look great, the desserts tasted wonderful too. I highly recommend her and Jamm Events and will use her again.“

“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.“

“Great service and food! Love their breakfast wrap! Lots of vegetarian options ❤️“

“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.“

“Excellent coffee and best cookies in the city! Baristas know what they’re doing, service is quick, and single origin specialty coffee is a bonus!“

“Convenient life, beautiful night scene.“

“In the past year I used Custodi to cater two parties, a Hawaiian Luau and Texas BBQ. Both times the food was delicious! Chris is so easy to work with and very accommodating with what your needs are. His staff took care of everything the day of, very professional. Our parties were a huge success and everyone raved about the food! Thanks so much Chris!“

“A nice cozy place to relax and enjoy breakfast or lunch!“

“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!“

“This place is the heart of Hoboken! If you ever visit Hoboken, you must stop by the Green Pear Cafe!!!“

“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!!!!“

“My first time trying them was amazing, my aunt, cousins along with myself did a coffee tasting there and everything was great!! I had the FFF (Triple F) with a HEC on brioche 🔥! Service was exceptional as well, definitely a comeback whenever I’m in NJ again“

“More than just a snack bar, this place serves amazing full meals! The menu is diverse, and I've enjoyed trying something new each time. The cleanliness and spaciousness are a plus, but the outdoor seating is paw-fect for dog owners like me“

“This is my favorite cafe!! Every barista is so cool, I love the atmosphere when I come to do work here, and the coffee is delicious. The consistency is the same no matter who makes my drink and I love that! The prices are totally reasonable and the selection is perfect. I love the seasonal beverage options. 10/10 love you, eagle rock cafe! ♡“

“Cafe Carmellini doesn’t serve dinner — it stages it. The space feels like if old New York and Paris had a perfectly dressed baby. Every detail is choreographed, but it never feels stiff.

Started with the zucchini flowers lobster and artichoke Provençal — light, layered, and borderline poetic. The duck, duck, duck tortellini? A playful name hiding serious precision — pure Carmellini flex.

Then the squab en cocotte landed like a mic drop — perfectly cooked, rich but composed, the kind of dish that makes you remember why New York is still the best food city on Earth.

Closed it out with the sticky toffee pudding and chocolate ganache — pure indulgence, no regrets.

Verdict: 9.6/10.
Cafe Carmellini is what happens when craftsmanship meets confidence. Every bite says, we know exactly what we’re doing.“

“My favorite spot to work & eat in Jersey City Heights.“

“Great, reliable food, kind staff, and convenient location!“
