“Just came for a quick coffee break and ended up loving this place! Quiet, clean, spacious, and aesthetic cafe. Delicious bakery items (recommend the raisin pastry and chocolate croissant!) and coffee. Really lovely service! Plus, they display the train schedule on a TV so it's perfect for chilling while you wait for your train. And pastries are 50% off past 4pm :)“

“Exceptional Experience at Venchi – Thanks to Angel, Tim, and Gina!

From the moment I walked into Venchi at Short Hills Mall, I was met with next-level service. Angel, Tim, and Gina made the entire experience feel personalized, welcoming, and incredibly professional.

Angel lives up to his name—attentive, knowledgeable, and kind.

Tim brought an energy that made shopping fun—A total pro.

Gina had a warm, effortless charm and was patient, insightful, and detail-oriented. Her customer care was on point.

The team worked together seamlessly—like a well-oiled machine. Venchi at Short Hills is the place to go, and Angel, Tim, and Gina are the dream team to help you.

Can’t wait to come back!“

“The Grind is my favorite local coffee shop! I never miss an opportunity to tell my friends about it! The girls are always super sweet and my coffee or matcha are always 10/10! For a coffee shop in Tottenville I also feel like the prices are reasonable! Only downside is that the parking can sometimes be difficult if it's a school day.“

“Guava cake brought us back to our childhoods. Highly recommended!!“

“Great place! A coffee hangout for the post modern beat generation !“

“I simply LOVE this place. It not only has the best vegan sandwiches and desserts, the hospitality is amazing. Everyone is very friendly and welcoming. The only thing bad is that they are 45 minutes from me. I wish there was one closer to where I live. I would be going more often. I'm hoping one day they will become a franchise. I would definitely want to open a How Delish! ❤️“

“The atmosphere is warm and inviting. The decor facilitates a creative space for gathering with friends and colleagues.“

“We went here for coffee ☕️on a Sunday morning. The shop is nicely decorated, it has a rustic tone 🐮 to it. There's a high counter at the window, a long booth type seat against one wall with some tables, some cozy chairs scattered around, and a couple of free-standing tables. There was plenty of seating available when we arrived.
Like I said we ordered coffee. The food 🥐🍪🍰 displayed looked delicious but we didn't have anything, I was pleasantly surprised to see some gluten-free options 😋 It was also very nice that after we ordered and sat down when our coffee was ready they brought it to our table.
The coffee was decent. I give it one mug out of two.
The one thing I should point out if you're not from the area, parking is not always easy. There is street parking and public parking lots but they do fill up fast and most days you have to pay for parking. Be prepared to walk, pleasantly surprised if you get close parking and allow yourself time to walk there.“

“Highly recommend Lidios for all of your floral needs! Maria put some beautiful arrangements together for me for multiple events, and her work is truly spectacular! The flowers always have guests talking and always add a special touch. 💐🎉“

“Amazing Food and service !!“

“We stopped by this café for a Saturday morning breakfast. The exterior was charming, which drew us in. Parking is street-only, so it can be tricky on busier days, but we lucked out.

I ordered a cortado—decent, nothing remarkable. I went with the avocado toast, which they’re apparently known for. It was as minimalist as it gets: a slice of ciabatta, olive oil, a generous amount of fresh avocado, salt, and pepper. No frills, but solid and satisfying. My friend had a multigrain croissant with sausage and egg—basic and hearty.

The café is mostly self-service, and while the vibe was relaxed, the service was quite slow. We even cleared our own table from the previous guests. It seemed a bit understaffed, but the food was fresh and filling. A cute local spot, though don’t expect speed or polish.“

“Not being from the area (South Jersey), I've wanted to try LeGrand Coffee House for quite a while now. So on a trip up to NY a couple days ago, we finally got the chance to stop in on our way up the Parkway. This place is amazing! This beautifully-decorated coffee house had some of THE best coffee I've ever had in my entire life. I got TWO lattes while I was there (a French Vanilla and a Honey Almond). My family and I also got the chicken pesto sandwich, and it was absolutely delicious. My daughter had an iced chai tea latte and loved it. DEFINITELY get to this place if at all possible! Two thumbs up!!“

“Great spot for a meeting! Great food and the best coffee!“

“I'm a regular here and it's always a pleasant experience. It's one of two locations that I frequent most and since I'm traveling throughout the day and night depending on the day of
Week I know I can depend on them to be open and prepared to serve! Every one of the employees are friendly, kind and considerate working quickly and efficiently in a timely fashion** plus side**it's always nice to be greeted by a smiling face ..a hard working employee who actually puts effort into the job aiming to please the customer not always the case at
Other locations or in general . My only complaint here: the surroundings the environment is run down and looks dirty ...hardly appealing to new residents or potential customers coming thru the neighborhood would be easily turned off by the way the atmosphere is kept and the lack of nicely kept landscaping - esthetically investing in A major overhaul and some system of cleanliness of the drive thru area would be extremely helpful and ideal. If you go elsewhere you find this to be less an issue. Thank you to all the staff members who do the job well and have been apart of my day in a big way...a friendly hello, and getting my order right is not a lot
To ask for and truly makes my day! ?“

“Nice atmosphere. Both pictures groups. I love Pink floyd beetles“

“Love this place!“

“It was my first time there, and the lady who identified herself as the owner (Kelly) was very pleasant and helpful. She took her time explaining the drinks and their ingredients to me. I left there with 3 orders??‍♀️. The drinks were so good. Directions from Google were confusing. If you know the area, Highland Bubble Tea is on the opposite end of the bridge where Jersey Boys Pizza is located.
It can be tricky if you don't know the area. It's almost across from the new Performing Arts Center in Avenel! So, if you're looking at the PAC from Avenel St., in Avenel, Highland Bubble Tea is on your left side, across the street b4 going down the bridge. Lots of drinks and tasty snacks to enjoy. I didn't give it 5 stars because of the parking and the difficulty in finding it. Enjoy!!!“

“They treat you well!! Stop by and see for yourself.“

“Was in there about a week ago for the 1st time..mint chip Gelato is a MUST..Great atmosphere..Tonight stopped in for a HUGE..SOFT..choc chip cookie..a MUST..

“An incredible experience at Panas House! I loved the food, it really exceeded all my expectations. The quality of the dishes is impressive, priceless. Every bite was full of flavor and love, with fresh and well-prepared ingredients. The plates are quite large, which makes the value for money even better. It shows that they take care of every detail, from presentation to flavor. I will definitely come back and recommend it to everyone!“

“Loved this cute little place!!! My daughter and I were out and about, and wanted to get some coffee, but not from the regular “chain” coffee shop, so after a quick search, we headed to Metuchen. We were lucky enough to get parking right outside, and walked in to be pleasantly surprised by the esthetic vibe. Everything was super clean, and we were greeted right away by the super friendly employee. My daughter ordered a cappuccino and I got iced coffee. We also got a cheese and pesto savory pastry and a passion fruit and coconut tres leches dessert. Everything was delicious!!!!! Thanks for the enjoyable experience. We will definitely return.“

“Had the best time! The employees gave great recommendations on what to drink when I couldn’t make up my mind. They made the experience very personal and cozy. I really appreciated it after a long day at work honestly. Coffee was pretty good and the atmosphere overall was great. Love the decor.“

“Nice little spot where there's not much else around so its super convenient. Finally stopped by for an iced cold brew and it was really good. Great friendly service, would definitely stop by again. It's a trailer in the parking lot of the Willow Grove church, you can't miss it.

Parking: Church parking lot, free.“

“Had a terrible experience today. They gave me the wrong sandwich. Tried to call them to send me a new one but all you get is a voicemail. Emailed them and even messaged them on Instagram and they never responded. So I was stuck at work all day without any food or any reimbursement“

This place is usually busy; I suggest registering for the online waiting list. (Waiting time: 20-30 min approx.) The service is fast, the place is very warm, clean and the dishes are very well presented.“

“I love their salmon toast. One of my favorites. Great coffee menu.“

“Very good coffee and pastries! Happy to have this place in the neighborhood. Hot and cold drink are great and not all sugar etc. Tried the pandan, lavender and caramel and spinach feta pastry all delicious.

Dietary restrictions: They have coconut milk and not all cafes have that choice!“

“The baristas are super friendly, the atmosphere is very modern- greenery lining the cafe to make you feel like you're not in a busy city of NJ but in a cute garden-esque getaway! The baristas went above and beyond, pulling out a book to ensure the drink I asked for was fully dairy free. So glad I discovered this shop for my work day coffees!

Vegetarian options: Some of the coffee syrups are dairy free. They also have packaged snacks items that are labeled vegan.

Dietary restrictions: They have a book of references for dairy allergies“

“The only place that can give me exactly what I’m looking for when it comes to my coffee!“

“Beautiful atmosphere, good food, friendly customer service. Our visit on 3/1/25 was awesome. Our server (a nice young lady - I forgot her name :( ) was so kind and helpful. make your own bouquets & selfie studio was over the top. We've found "Our Place" for get togethers.“

Whether you're a fan of classic sandwiches or looking to try something new, Rankin St. Deli delivers on taste and quality. Highly recommended for a quick, tasty bite!“

“I went to this place yesterday, food was amazing, staff was kind and friendly. I would definitely return if I am in this area again. I recommend the Dumbledore and the sweets they have were great as well. got myself some mother's days macarons. also forgot to mention it is located in a great active spot in town 😃“

“This is the second time I have visited and will definitely return it’s a great place with amazing food and atmosphere!“

“Brewed Awakening is the perfect spot for breakfast, brunch, or lunch. The food is consistently delicious, and some of my favorites include the BLT Sandwich (always made to perfection), the omelettes, and their Apple Caramel Butter Latte—a delightful seasonal treat. I first discovered the latte through a social media post a few weeks ago, and now Brewed Awakening has become my go-to spot every Sunday for a relaxing meal. The service is always warm and welcoming. Annie, the owner, often makes an appearance on the floor, either serving or checking in with guests to ensure they’re enjoying their visit. Her kindness and genuine hospitality make the experience even more special. I highly recommend stopping by Brewed Awakening for a delicious meal and a cozy, inviting atmosphere. You won’t be disappointed!“

“Was looking for local cafés & decided to come and check this place out after seeing the positive reviews. The owner and his daughter are so welcoming and kind! I love the layout here, there’s outdoor seating, a wide selection of flavors for drinks, free books, and I also happened to stop in on a day where they had live music! Family owned & LGBTQ+ friendly, the atmosphere was very comfortable. I got a lavender matcha latte & It was great. Love the experience, love the vibe!“
