“You don’t expect gourmet dining at McDonald’s !! It is what it is !“

“Love it!!� ����������“

“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! ❤️“

“I love having a Dominican bakery so close. Everything we’ve had there has been FABULOUS!!! Honestly, some of the best coconut macaroons I have ever had and that includes ones I’ve had in DR. I had a coconut tree leches cake, and a strawberry short cake cup, which were both out of this world. The cold brew is so good, and the pumpkin sauce is on point. They’re also super friendly. Next time I need to try the pastelitos (empanadas).“

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

“I go there once a month to see my friend The Doms play there! Super clean, friendly, and occasionally the dog “Bronco” is there! He’s the sweetest dog ever! But definitely a friendly atmosphere! Highly highly recommend! Even if it’s just for a coffee, tea, or latte.. they have it! “The house of coffee crack!”“

“Cozy setting and great service. Really enjoyed popcorn chicken. We ordered a lot of drinks for the family last minute unfortunately but they were able to make sure everything fit in the bag and if it didn't they gave a small bag with the extra drink to carry.“

“I’ve went here before a couple times and the coffee and staff is always the sweetest. But today me and my coworkers ordered delivery but we work in the north shore completely on the other side of the island and the drinks and pastries still came out amazing. Weren’t watery at all and for the signature drinks I think the price range is pretty good! Also gave us a stamp card for the amount of drinks we ordered. Very nice“

“I ordered a maple cold brew with pistachio cold foam from their winter menu and a few donuts. It was all delicious!“

“I am so happy to have found an amazing cafe close to home. This place and the people are so inviting. I’ve tried their chai tea latte and avocado twice so far and they are consistently with taste and preparation. This will be my new go to spot!“

“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!!“

“Today I came in and ordered a simple small coffee, and usually I just grab and go. But I was met with a beautiful smile and great conversation by Egypt. I haven’t had the experience I had today in awhile. You can tell she’s amazing by showing much care with the drinks and customer service. It was like talking to a friend instead of a stranger. Def will be coming back just to hopefully see her again!“

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

“A convenient shop to purchase fresh roasted beans. 🫘 their beans make an excellent cup of coffee.“

“Amazing Food and service !!“

“Was in the area because I was looking for a snack while house hunting in the area, lucky me to stumble upon this cafe. Very bright when you walk in and clean, the bathroom being a plus. I ordered croissant, apple turnover and rice pudding....all very good and the customer service was pleasant“

“Too damn good. I been searching for a local cafe to replace these greedy corporate ones and found this little gem. This is my third visit so that says something. The staff is always super friendly and personalable. Even met the owner and she’s super sweet! Her coffee creations are so creative and pretty and tastes so damn good as I mentioned previously. The vibe will feel so nostalgic especially for my fellow millennials. And they also put a cute little inspo message on the lid of the cup. It’s the cutesy details for me. Highly recommend!“

“I had one of their custard tarts and a Nutella filled donut from their stand at the Summit Farmers Market this past Sunday. The tart was delicious. But that donut! HOLY DELICIOUSNESS! Off the charts dynamite 🧨. Fluffy, soft, sugary and an appropriate amount of Nutella filling. I’m in loooove. SoCal, to me, has a lock on donuts. I have found my Cali donut hookup! Thank you“

“The Morning Roast is incredible! Alex and Sean truly care about their craft and making sure your experience is authentic and enjoyable. The coffee is genuinely the best coffee I’ve ever had. Alex’s love for what he does is infectious and his knowledge of coffee is unmatched. It can get a little crowded from time to time but 100% worth the wait. You will not be disappointed.“

“My family and I dropped by this place and we felt at home. The service is amazing with Mr Anshul. The place is new, clean with a cozy and friendly atmosphere. The coffee is great and the service is quick. We have a great experience with our dine in. A beautiful place to hang out!!!!“

“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!“

“wow, amazing!! very unique flavors, friendly staff and a great atmosphere. i had the cassava latte and the leche flan latte. highly recommend! wish i lived in the area so i could come here again!“

“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.“

“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.“

“Love this place!“

“I've been coming to Skiddoo since 2019 and have watched Hodge serve his community during COVID lockdown - providing people a semblance of normality in the unknown.

This coffee shop is more than just great coffee - it's a place where you can go when you need to feel connected to humanity. A familiar feeling of home when you might not have one.

I mean, the coffee is spectacular - probably the best in NJ. But the people and owner make it worth the visit. Can't recommend it enough!“

“the staff is excellent nahum end sulma yarixa the guy who helps you select the food for the bowl is amazing. also the manager at night is also very sweet! great environment! food is amazing. they also have specials and also can get points. the service is above and beyond“

“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“

“By far the best pastéis de nata I’ve ever had! Thanks for bringing us a little taste of Portugal. Can’t wait to try the bifanas🇵🇹🇵🇹“

“I bought a cake for my friend's anniversary today, but unfortunately, it got ruined when I hit the brakes hard on my way out of the parking lot. Since it was entirely my fault, I went back to the store just to ask if I could get a discount on a new one. But to my surprise, they were incredibly kind and offered to exchange it for a new one for free! I was so deeply touched!! I know every staff in here is always kind and helpful, but I especially want to thank Damaris and Sury for helping me out with this early this morning 🫶. Thank you so much, and see you again soon!“

“Hidden gem in Edison. CLO Coffee has amazing coffee and some of the best matcha I’ve had in the area. The space is calm, clean, and has a great vibe whether you’re trying to get some work done or meet up with friends. It’s the kind of spot you can sit in for a while without feeling rushed.

Ralph and Jen are amazing and super present business owners. You can tell they genuinely care about the space, the quality of what they serve, and the people who walk through the door. Quality drinks, great atmosphere, and a real community feel. Definitely worth checking out.“

“Incredible food made from scratch everything cook on premises Man size portion“

“Pana House Restaurant is a fantastic spot for Venezuelan food! I had the pabellón, which was delicious with tender shredded beef, black beans, rice, and fried plantains. The Venezuelan sample platter was also great, featuring tasty arepas, empanadas, and tequeños. The atmosphere is welcoming, and the staff is friendly. Definitely recommend checking it out!“

“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! ?“

“Been here a few times, their coffee is delicious, especially their nitro! And the owner is a special ed teacher, and really nice. I hear they're getting their food license soon!“

“Me and my friends when on a Saturday morning and we loved it. We were a group of 6. The waitress that helped us was super nice and friendly. She helped us set the table for the group. She speaks English and Spanish. The food was a 10/10. We had the avocado roast, omelettes, French toast and the tiramisu toast. Everything was amazing. The place is a little small for large groups but the ambience is five stars. I’ll definitely visit again.“

“Black Drop Coffee in Scotch Plains is such a great spot to sit quietly and get some work done or catch up with a friend over coffee. The vibe is calm and easy, and their cold brew is perfect when you just want to grab something quick and go. ☕✨“

“El menú es rico y variado , buena atención.😍🙏“

“Ammmmmmazing! I’ve been a loyal customer from the beginning and they always hit the mark! Love seeing new stuff and always always always friendly faces with 5 star coffee!!“
