50 Best Cafes near Glen Ridge

“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.“

“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!“

“Very atmospheric and friendly cafe!

This place seems super new, and I've started stopping by after my classes at NJIT since it's nearby and opens early enough. The baristas/workers have great customer service and are very kind and welcoming! The space is quite small as there's only 4-5 tables, but considering the location, it's good for grab-n-go customers.
The food I've had so far are the blueberry danish, almond croissants, and the classic sandwich. Everything tastes fresh and it's great that the pastries are toasted/hot when they serve it. The drink selection is amazing, and the drinks I've had so far are the best in the area! The drinks seem pretty consistent-tasting too!
This place is my new favorite breakfast spot near campus and I'll be showing all of my friends this place ?“

“Stunning cafe. Hidden gem for sure. In the middle of the craziest morning, I couldn’t have had a better slowdown than Orange House Cafe. The barista was really patient, kind. I was really taken aback when I saw the elegantly made cappuccino presented to me and the cookie smells delightful. Can’t wait to come back everyday.“

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

“seriously the best cuban restaurant in jersey. omg 😲 👌😍😋😋😋“

“This place is beautiful, quaint, and welcoming. The desserts and pastries are delicious! My only critique is that it seems that flavor had been unecesarily sacrificed for “healthiness” on a few dishes like the oatmeal pancake, and quiche. Regardless, we will be back for the delicious coffee and pastries next time we are on the east coast!“

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

“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!!!!“

“I have eaten here a few times for breakfast and they never disappoint. The sandwiches always taste very good. And the atmosphere is cozy.

Vegetarian options: Staff is accommodating and makes any established breakfast sandwich vegetarian on request!“

“Order a cheesesteak sub and it was amazing. Real meat, carmalized onions, and just the right amount of cheese on a FRESH hoagie roll. Haven’t had one like it since I moved in this area from South Jersey. They were early in their delivery and they even wrote a cute little personalized “thank you” note on the bag. May seem small, but made me feel like they appreciate their customers. I work in food service and am jealous of their staff to get to work in a place like that.“

“Vanilla Cinnamon Latte from Muse on Valley Brook Ave in Lyndhurst. This coffee shop is a hidden gem. Quaint little place to read a book, do some work in their comfy area with great music and good vibes. — drinking coffee at Muse Coffee Company. — at Muse Coffee Company.“

“Great place to play some TCG like Pokemon TCG, magic the gathering, union arena, grand archive, and more. The location host multiple events for every kind of game and makes sure to stay updated with new sets and release. The staff is always gentle and willing to help you to learn the rules of the game. And the coffee is insanely good“

“For a few years, this has been my go to spot when I'm in the Ironbound. Cool vibe and ambiance. Hit or miss on portion sizes. A very notable change over the years. The bacon side is way too small (two skinny slices). The avocado toast has significantly decreased in size but at the same price point, and it's often more cream cheese than avocado most times. Yet, and somewhat reminds me of being back in Brooklyn. Good coffee.“

“One of the best kept secrets in Wayne - come here for savory soups and delicious sandwiches. There are a new selection of soups each week, but thankfully the jerk chicken sandwich is a staple (I order it everytime)!“

“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!“

“I often stop by Method Cafe during my lunch break, and I can’t recommend it enough! My go-to is the Mozzarella Pesto Sandwich, which is simply perfect every time. The combination of fresh mozzarella and flavorful pesto hits the spot. Plus, the atmosphere is chill and cool, making it a great place to unwind. If you're looking for a delicious lunch in a relaxed setting, this is the place to be!“

“My friend and I just happened to have stumbled upon this place while visiting a nearby rehab & we completely fell in love with it. The man who served us was super friendly, the overall vibe and decor of the place was so inviting & charming and most importantly, the food was delicious!! I cannot wait to go back there!“

“We recently organized a Company Appreciation event and had a fantastic experience. Initially, when placing our order, they offered to set up for us, which we declined. However, when we arrived, everything was beautifully set up. They even provided extra items and ensured we had everything we needed. They truly saved the day for us. Thanks a million!“

“dirty place....the chef uses his bare hands to prepare and cook meals then denied multiple customers for food requests like 8pm like 🤦‍♀️..... they never clean while cooking or preparing instead they wait to clean up at 8pm ....gross only meal I was able to eat was a kibob salad because there meat is disgusting 😑“

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

“What a great and convenient place to have lunch or breakfast. I truly enjoy the sandwiches and soups. My favorite is beef barley on Tuesdays. Chicken noodle fills the bill any day with different pastas to satisfy your palate. Friendly service and just a great place to eat. Come and enjoy your meal, it will truly be worth it.!!!“

“5 stars ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Delish as always. Love the shallots, leeks & goat cheese crepe & the best coffee! My fiancé loves the steak sandwich. Never disappoints & love to eat outside in good weather. Great service, great food for great prices. Tres bonne!👨🏻‍🍳“

“Great food and servers! definitely going back. Fresh squeezed OJ!“

“Nice place to get u coffee Sandwich and u gas 😍“

“This brunch spot has a fantastic vibe and is perfect for a quick bite. Be prepared for a bit of a crowd, especially on weekends—it’s first-come, first-served for seating, so finding a spot can be tricky. We tried the salmon and hummus wraps, both of which were delicious and satisfying, though the wraps could use a bit more stuffing or meat to make them even better. The fresh juices were incredibly refreshing, and I highly recommend trying the Chlorophyll cocktail and cleansing tonic—they’re just as tempting as their names suggest! Overall, a great place worth checking out for a fulfilling and fresh brunch.“

“I love the look and feel of the store. I love all of the products. The merchants and staff are amazing. I come almost everyday“

“Smiling face with the staffs, affordable prices, observes social distancing, clean place, parking space, etc etc etc, simple so please try and you’ll find yourself looking for this place to dine.“

“I had the pancakes and turmeric latte on Friday (11/22/24) and ordered online delivery Saturday (grilled cheese). This is how amazingly delicious the food/latte is. I took my friend for her first visit and she said the latte felt like a hug and the simple egg sandwich was delicious! We left and didn't feel heavy. I'm not a latte drinker but I have tasted my twin sister's when she orders from the big businesses. Disgusting!! I tried the turmeric latte for the health benefits of the turmeric and was skeptical. Oh my heavenly goodness. Now, THIS IS A HOW A LATTE IS SUPPOSED TO TASTE!! DELICIOUS!!!!! I'm surprising my twin sister with a turmeric latte for her after work treat. This is how an atmosphere should feel. Noone needs LOUD music when they're eating and want to share a conversation.“

“This place is great. Highly recommend. One of the best spots around. Between the food, coffee and service, this place is a 10 out of 10. They’re very caring and friendly! The blueberry scones are the what ones I’ve had. So good !!“

“This is one of the most beautiful places around! Sagar puts his heart into this place. It's an oasis in Passaic! Come check it out- for a date, or to meet someone or to just chill. He also rents for special occasions- I've even seen small weddings here! Highly highly recommended. Kosher ice cream and snacks as well. Take your wife or date here! In winter, roaring fire inside. I just love it here. Sitting outside and seeing the beauty around me right now. Tranquil....just awesome. Great place to work from as well.“

“My girlfriend and myself, retired Philadelphia Police Officers were going on a cruise on 9/12/24 out of Cape Liberty. We arrived early and were looking for a cup of coffee and a quick breakfast. Luckily we picked Une Tasse Cafe, the coffee was fantastic and the breakfast wraps and pastries were delicious. The owner was warm and welcoming and introduced us to her dog, who actually let me pet him. I wish this restaurant was closer to where we live, coffee that good is hard to find. I just ordered two pounds on their web site so that I can enjoy it at home. Hopefully on our next cruise we will stop there again.“

“I’ve been a customer of Jenn the owner ever since she opened up four seasons 10 years . She and her staff has always been number 1 in customer service the food , the tea and the smoothies are amazing . Everyone should take the opportunity to visit and you as well will enjoy the experience and the menu they have to offer God be you always Jenn“

“My family and I just had lunch here and the staff was amazing. The food was phenomenal. The ambience was wonderful and the entire staff made it feel like it was home. I highly recommend going here. 10/10“

“One of my favorite coffee spots to sit down, read, or study. The atmosphere is just ideal for focusing and relaxing. The staff is always welcoming and friendly, making it a great place to linger. Plus, the coffee is consistently excellent, always brewed to perfection. It’s the perfect place to unwind and get some work done“

“Friendly place with attentive staff! Also, amazing food at reasonable prices! 🥞🍳🧇☕“

“The owner Al and his wife are an amazing power duo that this town definitely needed. He's an amazing chef with a fantastic background and loves treating people to his amazing dishes. The vibe is very quaint and comfortable with lots of room to move around and check out the pastries he also makes homemade in-house. Definitely best bagel/deli around the area so far and deserves way more exposure!
