“If you're looking for a great local coffee shop, this is the place! The coffee is always fresh and delicious, and the atmosphere is welcoming and relaxing. What really makes this place special is the owner. He is incredibly kind, attentive, and genuinely cares about every customer who walks through the door. You can tell he puts his heart into the business and goes above and beyond to make everyone feel welcome.

“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!“

“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!”⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

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

“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.“

“I had a great experience with Wonder! The food was fresh, flavorful, and arrived hot. Everything was packaged well, and the quality exceeded my expectations. The ordering process was easy, and the service was quick and reliable. I’ll definitely be ordering from Wonder again and would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a delicious and convenient meal.“

“I went there for breakfast on a Thursday morning. The croque madame was perfection! Great service, good vibe. Be aware that you have to pay for each cup of coffee (vs. getting free refills, which is typical for breakfast service at most restaurants). The upside is the coffee is fantastic and relatively inexpensive for NYC.“

“We went to the Tartinery Cafe at Columbus Circle for a quick bite before a 7 PM show at Lincoln Center. It was a perfect pre-theatre experience. Beautiful setting with great views of Central Park, great service, and delicious food at a nice price point. The open-face club sandwich (topped with brie) was nicely prepared and delicious. We will happily return.“

“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!“

“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!“

“We came here for dessert after having brunch at a different restaurant. The wait was about 50 minutes without a reservation for seating at the bar. For the future I will definitely be making a reservation as we walked the whole store in about 15 mins. The dessert was amazing and so was the Cocopolitan. My favorite was the Tiramisu 'Montenapoleone' we also ordered the Strawberry Charlotte and the Chocolate Monogram. Will definitely be going back!“

“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!“

“We were looking for a healthier breakfast option and tried Vale’s omelette and the egg white frittata. Both were delicious and surprisingly satisfying (we usually opt for heavier options). The cappuccino was perfectly balanced smooth and not too strong. The cafe itself is kind of small, but still a great atmosphere with warm and inviting staff.“

“Charlotte Cafe is a dependable favorite. The coffee is always great, the food arrives fresh, and the staff are friendly and prompt. It’s clean, cozy, and reasonably priced.

Thank you & God bless you and your family 😊“

“Had a great experience at Toast x Bowl! I ordered the Sweet & Spicy Chicken Sandwich, and it was absolutely fire. The chicken was juicy, flavorful, and had the perfect balance of sweet and spicy. I also tried the Passion Fruit Pear Fizz, which was super refreshing and paired really well with the meal. We also shared the shrimp rice bowl and truffle fries, and both were just as delicious.

The restaurant was clean, cozy, and had a really nice atmosphere. The staff were friendly, and everything came out fresh and looked amazing. You can tell they care about the quality of the food.

Definitely one of my favorite spots in Hoboken now. I’ll definitely be back to try more of the menu. Highly recommend!“

Their lattes are incredibly smooth and flavorful — easily one of the best coffee spots around. I also tried the breakfast sandwich and pastries, and everything tasted fresh and delicious. The staff were super friendly and welcoming, and the service was quick even during busy hours. Definitely a hidden gem with great vibes, amazing coffee, and excellent food. Can’t wait to come back!“

“I have to say that everything I have had so far was just delicious! Staff is super friendly and they are very thoughtful. Love the ginger shots too. I recommend the Burrata, Spicy Crab, and Avocado Smash.“

“Awesome spot for a quick bite and inviting to stay and relax - great cookies and the the espresso was 👌“

“Fantastic gluten-free and dairy free options. The trays were all labeled with potential allergens and the staff helpfully pointed me towards the best dairy-free options. I had this brookie cookie/brownie hybrid dessert with really fun sprinkles. I also had a soy milk latte and my husband had a regular whole milk latte, and we both enjoyed them. There's a very small bench inside by the cash register but this is really a take out sort of tiny bakery. If you visit I'd recommend you plan to take your box of treats to a nearby park bench to sit and enjoy them. I loved my dessert here and plan to come back the next time I'm in NYC.“

“Sankofa Cafe is a gift to the Montclair community and surrounding communities that it serves. The atmosphere is wonderful and welcoming, the coffee and tea are wonderful, and the staff are always friendly and helpful.

Sankofa has become of hub of the community, often hosting social and cultural events, in addition to participating in community outreach in support of many causes.

The owner, Jessica Troupe, has poured her heart and soul into this cafe, and it shows. It is one of the best coffee shop in the area.“

“Very glad we found this place. Nice ambiance and delicious food“

“Sweet Jeans is the best spot in the area for Taylor Ham/Egg/Cheese bagel sandwiches! Lattes, hot and iced, are consistently superb as well. It’s always a great morning thanks to Hector and Victor. I have to echo the other reviews as well—extremely cozy vibes that might make you think you’re in a small town a half-hour west.“

“Came in for baklava which was delicate and delicious. Extremely soothed by the chill atmosphere and low key vibe. Service was friendly and I appreciated being told which pastries were homemade and which ones were more sweet. We will come back again.“

“Got the mango shaped ice. It was large enough for four people, the ice itself had very good mango flavor with some mango ice cream on top. I do wish there were slightly more toppings. I’m not sure if the mangoes were frozen vs fresh, but it was a good way to cap lunch in palisades“

“Go Go Jang is an absolute gem! I stopped in for a Dirty Matcha and a Caprese Panini, and both were outstanding. The Dirty Matcha was perfectly balanced—smooth, earthy matcha paired with rich espresso for a drink that was both energizing and delicious. It's one of the best matcha drinks I've had in a long time.

The Caprese Panini was equally impressive. The ingredients tasted fresh and high quality, with perfectly toasted bread and a wonderful combination of flavors. It was simple, satisfying, and prepared with care.

Beyond the food and drinks, the atmosphere was warm and welcoming, making it a great place to relax, meet a friend, or get some work done. The attention to detail and quality really stand out. I'll definitely be back to try more of the menu. Highly recommend!“

“Stopped by Julietta and it absolutely lived up to the hype. The coffee was excellent, the pastries were fresh and delicious, and the gelato was on another level, seriously some of the best I’ve had. Great atmosphere, friendly staff, and everything tasted like it was made with care. Definitely coming back. Highly recommend if you’re in Hoboken.“
