“This place is such a hidden gem!! I came by here to work with a laptop. I love the atmosphere and healthy options to choose from. The wifi was fast so I felt productive working here. I got Clarity juice, which contains lime, celery, cucumber and spinich. It tasted really fresh and refreshing! I can tell they use fresh ingredients for sure. The barista lady in the morning was very kind and courteous as well. I highly recommend this place! :)“

“LOVED IT! I love the vibe of the place- stepping into a different world with original flavors from another country with their rich heritage and organic beans. Cool place to take friends for a meetup. Highly recommend.“

“When I first discovered this cafe I instantly fell in love with the atmosphere of the cafe. Everything on the menu is so delicious! And the staff is super friendly.“

“I had the Taylor ham, egg, and cheese with hash browns on an everything bagel from DB Breakfast and wow, it was absolutely amazing. The sandwich was perfectly balanced: crispy hash browns, flavorful Taylor ham, and gooey melted cheese all stacked between a fresh, toasted everything bagel. Every bite was packed with flavor and satisfaction.

If you’re looking for a next-level breakfast sandwich that hits all the right notes, this one is it. Highly recommend.“

“I live in the area and attend college out of town so getting to the library on my off days is tough. I've been looking for a place with a chill ambiance, wifi, good tea, and coffee. Well, look no more for me. I thoroughly enjoyed my time here. Great rustic look, comfy seating with back support, loads of outlets for laptops, and the second-floor space are super cute and cozy too. Oh and there's a small little outside area that's pretty cool as well. Shaquille (hope I spelled it right) was AMAZING! So down-to-earth, friendly, polite, and easy to talk to. She made me the Tumeric latte for me and I all but licked the cup clean. I had the hummus & cucumber on sourdough toast and it was divine. Also, a great option for vegans. I totally recommend this place if you have similar needs or just want to hang out with some friends. I will surely be going back.“

“Great coffee, We stopped at Roast’d coffee shop before heading to NYC, great experience; the pour over coffee was fantastic. Johan was quite friendly explaining different coffee beans as he roasted them and brews the coffee. I tried the espresso as well brewed from 3 different beans, very tasty. Now this is our favorite place to have coffee when traveling to NYC. We talked with local customers, so good vibes and recommendations. Awesome place if you love good coffee.“

“Looking for the best coffee spot in Bayonne? Look no further than Lavaccino! More than just a coffee shop, Lavaccino serves up perfectly brewed espresso, delicious sandwiches, refreshing juices, and creamy gelato 🍨 handmade to perfection. And don’t miss out on their exclusive, one-and-a-half-pound bar of Dubi chocolate—crafted in-house, it’s the best you’ll find in the tri-state area! Lavaccino’s cozy atmosphere and top-notch menu will keep you coming back for more. It’s a taste of Italy with a Dubai twist, right in your neighborhood😉“

“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!“

“Tasty food, reasonable prices, large selection of different meals, clean, warm atmosphere, great service. Highly recommended!“

“We pulled off the highway for a coffee and stumbled upon this gem. The pastry menu is filled with unique items and great flavor combinations. I had the ube pan de sal and the Kashmir cardamom latte with oat milk. I absolutely love both! The location seemed surprising at first, it’s located in a larger office complex, but inside it feels comfortable with warm lighting and plenty of seating. They also sell records and prepared wraps and desserts. Check it out if you’re in the area! I will be sure to stop by next time I’m passing through.“

“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! ❤️“

“How do I love Crema, let me count the ways … Nutella Toast, Avo Toast, Mozz Toast, Beef Empanadas, Waffles and amazing brews ☕️“

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

“Best brownie I’ve ever eaten was the Dubai kunafa brownie. They didn’t have any made and were kind enough to make me one, on the fly, since I couldn’t wait until later due to a flight. I cannot wait to come back to NYC so I can have more tasty treats“

“I really love Ara! Their latte is so good! Plus, they really give that local business vibe, from an always warm welcome to a wall filled with photos of appreciation. Always wonderfully decorated for the season, Ara is a great place for great coffee and a cozy atmosphere.“

“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! ♡“

“Fantastic drip coffee. Delicious cheddar scallion scone.

“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.“

“George's was amazing to work with. They were more than willing to help me plan a nice breakfast spread for my students...complete with full platters of scrambled eggs, bacon, sausage, pancakes, hash browns, fruit... They were kind enough to help me pack my car as well. I would HIGHLY recommend them! 👌 👍“

“As someone who appreciates food when it is an experience, this right here does it in every sense. The owner clearly knows how to bring the part of Brazil that they dont show us. You don’t even need to speak to anyone because when you scan the QR Code, order & pay for everything (takes the awkward who’s paying) & your order arrives in no time. When you eat the food it is clear there’s a whole team trained in how to make everything that comes out of that kitchen mouthwatering. It’s a whole vibe full of delicious food, quick service, chill ambiance that’s only missing the resort right on the beach built around it. Every single note was hit & well now I want to go to Brazil.“

“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“

“Beautiful hidden gem! My latte was amazing and the atmosphere & vibe is out of this world! You’ve got to stop in today if you haven’t been yet! I got the salted honey latte with oat milk.

“Very inviting warm space! Kind workers, great atmosphere and delicious coffee! I got a dulce de leche iced coffee and it was some of the best coffee ive had in some time. Highly recommend you check this place out — right in the heart of Rutherford“

“Our server Jose was great. Food was delicious, fresh and substantial portions. Highly recommend. Since so popular be prepared to wait on the weekends but well worth it!

Parking: We were lucky enough to get a spot in front of the restaurant as someone was pulling out. There are parking spots throughout that section.“

“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“

“Great place to go to for an espresso and gelato Rosalba was always so nice to me when making a delivery to her cafe“

“The guy that works there is amazing, patient and nice! By far the only employee that actually make sure he’s getting the orders correct. He’s amazing!

The owner made my drink a month or so ago & gave me the wrong bubbles I asked for regular and she ended up giving me brown sugar and said can I come back the next day she will give me a free one lol long story short she wasn’t there the next day because I bring my daughter to this location and she was too lazy to fix my drink the day she messed it up. I get she was overwhelmed by working alone and having a lot of people ordering but she has to do better as an OWNER! I have a business myself and it’s a lot of things I do not do because you have to be professional.“
