50 Best Cafes near Glen Rock

“Two words: soufflé pancakes. Don't leave without trying these! We got the black sesame one and it did not disappoint. The food here overall is great - we had a little bit of everything - fried rice, dumplings, udon, etc. The iced matcha latte was pretty good. There is limited seating and the place was pretty busy. I would prefer takeout from here rather than dining in but maybe except for the soufflé pancakes! Not sure those would be good via delivery. Would recommend for a quick lunch, dessert, or drinks!“

“Great music and hookah. They put a lot of work into this place to make it comfortable and such a vibe. Definitely a place I’ll keep going to on weekends with friends. Weekdays are more chill, I go sometimes to just relax and have a hookah while listening to good music and being in a cool atmosphere. The ambiance is everything and comfortable couches.“

“If you are in the area and want to taste some amazing coffee this is a kiosk you need to stop by. You will not regret tasting this amazing coffee, and be sure to have a chat with the owner. He loves coffee and you can taste the love in the coffee.“

“Stopped by this hidden gem with my mom this Saturday. We were greeted by very attentive servers and a beautiful space. The food was absolutely delicious and presented so nicely. We ordered the avocado toast and built our own savory crepe. Among all of the fun drinks they had to offer, I ordered the Icy Bear Latte it was delicious and adorable. We are definitely adding this to our brunch list in Bergen County, and are looking forward to our next visit!“

“First time here but the had the best experience. Ordered the hobo and my partner ordered a sausage egg and cheese with home fries. It was beyond delicious especially the bread which was soft and pillowy. Also the customer service was amazing, the couple were friendly, warm and had a sense of urgency. Would definitely come back!“

“Iconic Coffee is an amazing coffee shop with good coffee and a clean cute inside perfect to work. The staff is so kind and helpful! They talk to you and make your experience enjoyable. Plus they’re super quick and clean!! Prices are great especially for this area! I got the vanilla caramel macchiato which is $5.99 and the cup is huge!! You get so much for how much you pay with great quality. The brown sugar shaken espresso has a unique and tasty aftertaste again at 5.49. I recommend! Great location, atmosphere, staff, and coffee.Dietary restrictions: They have different milks“

“Bright, clean space with seating. The food took a few minutes to prepare because it was being freshly prepared. I had a turkey sandwich which was served toasted with thick bacon and it was delicious. The service was great too. Very glad this opened in the neighborhood.“

“This little gem is incredible to say the least!!! Korean owned deli with an extended menu of deliciousness. Food came out promptly and everything was fresh, delicious flavors and everything e extremely well executed.Cant wait to go back because even my black coffee was incredible. Best of luck ?“

“I chose a simple breakfast today! Cyndia's knocked it out of the park with their Over Easy Eggs, Home Fries and Whole Wheat toast! Everything was cooked to perfection. It was awesome! The Great Friendly Service and Atmosphere made my breakfast experience even better. Highly recommend stopping in you will be glad you did! To Cyndia's staff keep up the Great Work, Quality and Service you provide to your customers!!!“

“WOW - found this hidden gem as I was craving soup on a snowy day only to realize this place is less than 5 min from me. My favorite soup is Italian wedding and happened to be the day it was being served! I ordered delivery of the soup and Cuban panini and instantly fell in love. I’m excited to see and try all the other soups because this is one of the (if not the best) Cuban panini (with pickles!) and Italian soup I’ve ever had. I look forward to going in person next time!“

“What an amazing, new favorite neighborhood cafe! A curious visit that turned into an 'addiction' :) Food is super fresh and very tasty, and by now my family have tried many menu items.Try their Veggie Heaven ( I have never seen my mom wolf down a full sandwich like this one, time and again), their avocado toast, the chopped salad, and the Waldorf salad (with or without the chicken!) -- just great!We've tried vanilla lattes, chai teas, peach iced teas, among others, and all got super high marks as well!Service is as good as it gets, pleasant and kind. We always feel so welcome, even when packed.On top, the place is like a melting pot of people from different backgrounds, walks of life, different languages -- the perfect atmosphere for all!“

“I love a home run...a trifecta :)It's a cozy but clean location...bright & warm vibe with the woods & metals. What can make it more welcoming???!!! A baked goods, sandwich, and other goodies glass showcase as soon as you step in....sorry no picture!The service is AMAZING by far #1 on my list of places BUT not over bearing. They took care of all our needs with kindness & gentleness while allowing us to enjoy our time together.The food tasted as if from FARM TO TABLE...fresh, crisp, warm and light. The arepas were perfect...my grandma and mom are straight from Colombia so arepas are huge...these meet the criteria, soft but cooked on the inside and grilled perfectly, moist not dry. My son's Eggs Benedict was delish and the bread wasn't the usual English muffin instead a thick slice of heavenly toast. The avocado toast was unbelievable and scrumptious. I had both Arepa dishes...both very good but the beef and cheese was exceptional :)Look forward to going back!“

“I was back in my hometown for a short trip and wanted to work remote from a cafe. I did a quick Yelp search and stumbled across Marimba Cafe - the new name caught my eye and the aesthetics and offerings here solidified my decision. I don't think I've ever come across a sit down Latin cafe here in Bergen County so to me, since moving away, it's the first of its kind. Also first of its kind to proudly offer CBD infused menu items. I believe they just opened in November! The vibes in here are immaculate. My favorite feature is the stone floor - it just transports you somewhere new! The color scheme in here is also appealing, and the Latin music made me want to dance while I took on meetings haha. Overall, really solid branding and concept. Since I was working west coast hours, I spent the whole afternoon into close here. It's a really great place to work as there were other people working remote. They have comfortable seating and outlets conveniently located along the booth. I will say though that the booth seating was just a tad too high for the table so it took some time getting used to. Also, they do play the music fairly loud (a must) in here so it can be a tad distracting if you're taking meetings and have to speak. Since I stayed here for over 5 hours, I was able to observe the sense of community Marimba has fostered - they greet customers like friends! I also saw on their Instagram that they host community events like paint nights and dance nights and support other local businesses with their La Placita Sundays. I love everything this business is about. I ordered the coquito latte hot and a pan de bono. The latte was solid and I wish the pan de bono was just a bit bigger! I would love to try more here. Congrats to the owners of Marimba, I wish the cafe tons of business and success! I definitely want to visit again when I'm back in town.“

“I'd give it 10 if I could. Lots of variety, great food, very reasonably priced AND friendly service. Parking is a bit of a challenge in Little Falls but this place is worth the short walk for the out of towners. Obviously a local walk to secret gem. This is on my go to list.“

“Everything about this place is fantastic.You won't find anyone else like Amanda, John, & Kerri here. They all know me by my name.The only thing I can't get past is the extreme entitlement of the customers that come here. People brush past me, or even see me struggling to get through the door while they are in the way, and cannot be bothered to move. And when I go "excuse me," I am met with frowns, lol.Today was the second time someone did that to me - frown when I walked past them being in the way as I wait for my turn to order while they take 5 minutes standing and chatting away with the cashier, as if no other customers were waiting. It's not mean necessarily, but inconsiderate.I really don't wish for any issues here. I wish people in this town who equally enjoy CD cafe as much as me would practice spatial awareness more. It's the Cafe Diem way to walk away happy!! As long as I am welcome here, I will continue to support CD cafe!“

“Ladies and gentlemen this is one of the best cafes in and around clifton-paterson- garfield area where you can grab a very flavorful coffee and enjoy a little studying time. The cafe has plenty of seats for everyone and plenty of outlets. Mario and jason are both great baristas and are phenomenal with the customers. I definitely come here often and study and enjoy the environment and vibes of cafe. It can get a little hectic and loud when there are inconsiderate people around but all in all one of my fav cafes. They always have new drinks and the baristas are very creative. Well done!“

“Wayne Hot Bagels supplied breakfast for Teacher Appreciation Week and did a fabulous job! They were friendly, courteous, patient and worked with me to find items that fit within the budget. They even personally delivered for us free of charge. They truly were a pleasure to deal with and I would definitely use them again for future events!“

“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!!!!“

“Our absolute favorite, go-to restaurant. The service is great - the owner is welcoming (even once escorted our toddler to the c-store next door to buy some candy) and all the wait staff is great, especially Jason who is incredibly kind. Food is excellent quality and fairly priced for how good it is. Pastas are cooked perfect al dente. Great meat dishes especially the pork chop french cut. The desserts are quite good as well - love the coconut cake. Because it's not huge it isn't quiet but we've never found it to be uncomfortably loud and it has a great ambience.“

“I found this place awhile ago, a woman in my town makes amazing homemade cheesecakes and recently started selling them here. Checked out the shop on Yelp and the food also looked very delicious and was on a mission to try this place out the next time I was in Hackensack. I would consider this place a gourmet Italian coffee shop. Sounds weird but it is just beyond amazing. They have pasta there for sale that I believe is imported from Italy which I decided to take home a bag for myself. They also have Italian beverages and jars of marinated vegetables they sell. I tried it out for the first time yesterday, I went in wanting this pasta and the owner was working, he told me he only does pasta specials on Wednesday but offered to whip me up something if that's what I wanted which I thought was really nice of him to offer! I didn't want him to go through all that just for one dish so I decided to try the chicken Parmesan and my husband ordered a chicken cutlet. The bread was SO FRESH and the sauce was made to perfection, I was amazed at every bite I took. I also tried my husbands chicken cutlet and it was also outstanding. We finished our meals and then decided to have some of that homemade cheesecake (which I already knew would be delicious) and some coffee. The owner was very genuine and kind and we enjoyed talking to him. Great service great food. Easily 5 star worthy and I already can not wait to return.“

“So many drink options! Excellent coffee, you can customize in every way possible. They offer lots of recommendations if you're overwhelmed and can't make a decision. Servers are always patient, friendly and knowledgeable. Scones are good and the breakfast wraps are the absolute best. The only two drawbacks are that it is quite pricey, and it takes an awfully long time for food orders. I would get breakfast here every morning but it's at least a 15 min wait if you order any food, and there's almost always a line to order. Overall, it's a very good coffee shop and provides an excellent alternative to just the usual Dunkin and Starbucks in the area.Parking: There are only a few spots in front of the coffee shop but you can park further down past C&RC or near Ernie's, if needed.“

“Excellent service, the food is great, good portions, good presentation, Ms. Giovanna is very jealous with the presentation of the food and always attentive to the smallest detail, it is a place that I would definitely recommend 100%, it is small and very busy so the waiting time is a bit long.“

“Great Serbian/Balkan restaurant (not sure why it's listed as Turkish). I absolutely love the burek, pančerote, đevrek, prženice, and španski vjetar cake! I don't think you can go wrong with anything on the menu, though. It's all very fresh and tasty, so give this place a shot if you want a delicious meal!“

“Two visits and 2 for 2 on the quality. Locally owned and run. Clean tables, swept floor, friendly knowledgeable service. This store is what Starbucks used to be in terms of excellent coffee drinks and delicious pastries (some from Balthazar) including a waffle croissant creation called croffle. Nice place to enjoy a cup of Joe and chill or get some work do“

“The best healthy breakfast I've ever had the apple cinnamon and the Irish soda bread scone were amazingly good and the egg whites with the spinach and onion, tomato and grilled chicken. Best thing I've ever had. I just love the presentation on how you made my food :) great job on making my food the egg whites are the healthiest thing I've ever had I would highly recommend going to this place in my opinion egg whites are the best option for a healthy choice.“

“I absolutely love the atmosphere in here. I noticed it was pretty packed, has great live music (they even played Neil Young!), a lot of options such as cranberry apple tea, a robot, and great artwork. The patrons seem polite and it has a slightly upscale, but laid back, vibe. It is gender inclusive!Parking: It gets packed“

“My spouse and I stopped here randomly while making the drive from JFK back to Ithaca after a red eye flight, and we are so glad we did. We stumbled in just as they opened, but Chef Dave was so kind and welcoming, and he makes the *BEST* pastries and breads we have ever had—and I cannot put enough emphasis on "best" here—from any country we have ever been to. We took a chocolate-almond croissant and a blueberry turnover to go because we were too full for sweets after eating yummy frittatas for breakfast (the bread he uses for the toast is too good!), and even hours after getting them home, they were incredible: so flakey, moist, airy, the perfect amount of sweet, and bursting with flavor. We already can't wait to come back to try more of his creations. Seriously, do not sleep on this place if you are lucky enough to be in the area!“

“I don't think I've ever had something from JDs that I didn't like. The food is always fresh and delicious. We've used them for catering also and I was impressed with their pricing and options. Tables are always full and staff is always friendly. Quality is consistent. My favorite is constantly changing but my family loves the BLK and the patsy.“

“This place is the best. Good quality coffee and nice baristas. Lots of parking... Only complaint: they take so long. If you're in a rush, don't come here. If you get stuck behind even 3-4 people in line - you will be waiting for your coffee for a while. it would also be one thing if the Barista's's were working extremely quickly, but they take their sweet time and are basically in slow motion / don't really seem to care at all that there's a line out the door of people waiting. Regardless, this coffee is amazing, the shop is so cute and just wanted to give some constructive criticism on the service because sometimes it is the one thing that stops me from coming and going somewhere else!“

“Very clean, fast, & friendly employees were very welcoming and accommodating to what I was looking for if it was not put out amazing food if your passing thru on the highway definitely give this place a stop and get some gas while your at it lol“

“I went for the exceptional brownie but I stayed for the ice coffee. It was delicious!Homemade ice cream did not disappoint!!!! SO GOOD!!!!Parking: Side street parking was perfect!Kid-friendliness: My 9 year old niece was in AWE when the brownies were brought to the table. The mini brownies they have available are perfect if you don't want your kids to have to much sugar.“

“If you're longing for the serene ambiance and flavors of European Mediterranean cuisine, then Morning Pace is the perfect spot for you! The tranquil and inviting atmosphere, along with the scrumptious freshly prepared dishes and delightful desserts, creates a truly memorable experience. And on weekends, you can enjoy live music and dance performances that add to the charm of this new and amazing place!“

“Caffe Roma has the best cappuccino and service in town! I am new to the area and decided to stop by the shop after my family (who visited me from Nashville this summer) recommended it to me. Everyone, including Michael the owner, are attentive and friendly. Now I stop by the shop frequently and am always met with friendly attitudes, the aroma of high quality coffee, and a welcoming environment full of conversations in Italian. Caffe Roma is always clean, offers an assortment of pastries and desserts, and offers cow’s milk alternatives like almond milk. I highly recommend you check them out and order a cappuccino and a Nutella cornette!“

“Le Souk felt like I was enjoying a meal in someone's home in Syria. Soft, Middle Eastern guitar melodies played in the background as I enjoyed my food. The restaurant was decorated with a myriad of artistic knickknacks. My server was polite, and they came to check in throughout my time there.I took advantage of the 4 appetizers for $30 deal as I was not super hungry. I ordered their beet salad, falafel waffle, stuffed grape leaves, and stuffed kebeh. I intended on ordering the dandelion greens, but they were not available, which was disappointing. The food I did receive, though, was a nice window into their menu.The stuffed kebeh was my favorite, a nice crispy shell with a nutty flavor, juicy ground beef inside, with just a little pomegranate syrup to add a bit of tangy sweetness.I'd love to come back and try some of their sandwiches or an entree in the future. Thanks for the food!“

“Great place and service. Price is decent for the quality. Both my partner and I went and got a berry bowl and a French vanilla simple shake. I was slurping for every last drop with the shake. It’s just the right amount of sweetness and is smooth. My partner loves the berry bowl, she too voted for 5 stars. Love that there’s no dairy in anything. Definitely will revisit :)“

“What an awesome discovery out of nowhere. We were in the area for a whole different reason and driving on the boulevard we found parking right in front of this place. Stepping in we were overcome by the sweetness of the menu as well as the two hostesses behind the counter. We decided to try a few things, when one of them mentioned that the loukoumades just came out so we went for that as well. I have to say the loukoumades were the highlight so fresh and tasted delicious. If we are ever in the area again this will be a must stop for us. Very cute place indeed.“

“My belly has never been happier. Honestly though, the presentation, the portion, the flavor, everything is great about this place!! Chicken caprese panini is a home run. The lemonade tastes extremely fresh. Will be back time and time again.“

“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.“

“Not only is this our neighborhood place that's easy to frequent for us, it is one of the best places in town! Consistently delicious and super friendly and efficient service. Cozy atmosphere with local artists' works on display and for sale. Daily specials in food and drink available. Great sandwiches and soups also in addition to breakfast fare! My faves are huevos rancheros or Spanish omelette, or a good ol' egg sandwich and oat latte. The French toast is also yummmm! Brunch crowd vie for tables on weekends. Perfect place for even dining alone or meeting up with friends or take a quick meeting.“

“Second time having breakfast here and it was just as good as the first! They have omelettes eggs, french toast pancakes. All the standard breakfast stuff. They're blueberry pancakes are some of the freshest I've ever had. Today I had one of their specials which were brownie pancakes they were little pieces of homemade brownie mixed in with the batter. Then they were very good. They don't have cold brew but they're regular. Ice coffee is some of the best I've ever tasted. The manager is sweet. She runs the cafe. Takes all the orders and interacts with the customers. I had breakfast with my father and sometimes he can be a pain. They didn't have expresso but she allowed him to come in with a cup of coffee from the outside which I was embarrassed by but it was very nice of her to allow .She's very friendly and outgoing. This will definitely be one of my new frequent places to visit.“

“Really cute place, I was impressed with both the food & coffee.Went there for lunch, but ordered a coffee and it was surprisingly delicious (even better than the coffee shop down the street).The bakery items also looked amazing --- looking forward to trying them at some point.“

“Very cute and well decorated cafe in the area! They have a photo booth that you can pay to use to capture good memories of your day. I came here and got the matcha ice cream latte. It was delicious and refreshing- perfect for the summer weather. I would definitely come back here again to try their other drinks!“

“What hours is this establishment actually open? My DoorDash and Uber Eats orders are consistently accepted and then cancelled without explanation. I've tried the smoothies a few times and they are great. It's unfortunate that the hours posted are for an 8 AM open when that seems incorrect.“

“I had the gnocchi and it was absolutely AMAZING! Not only that, but I saw that they had cheesecake so I tried a slice and can I just say, I was in HEAVEN! I am not usually a dessert kind of person, but this cheesecake might have changed my opinion on dessert, forever. If you have the chance to stop by and try their cheesecake, I highly recommend it. It was so tasty!!!! 20/10“

“My first time here, even though I have passed by it many times before. I was looking for a place where I can order a salad at a reasonable price. Boy! This place is the place to go for the best salad in town so far. Delicious, good portion, and the best price. can’t wait to come back again and try other things on their menu. They look amazing and delicious.“

“Very nice owner. I tend to get the watermelon smoothie. My grandson enjoys the mango bowl & also orders various smoothies. Nice to sit outside & observe the traffic and people as it is located on one of the main streets in the town.“

“I got hooked on my oat flat white with coconut cream syrup (so delicious, please don’t take my word for it alone and try it yourself :)). Best chocolate chip cookies i’ve ever had and they are vegan. The staff is always nice and I think the inside is nice, airy and pretty. I’d recommend you checking it out.“

“Chapo!!!Coffee tasted very good, the way they wrapped my sandwich told me how much they care about the customer… the omelet… OMG soooo good cooked… I was amazed with the service and the quality of their sandwich.First time I tried sandwich omelet, turkey with cheese and BLT next day… bacon… crunchy, lettuce very fresh and tomato juicy with perfectly toasted white sandwich bread… great combination.Thank you… it was a nice pleasure“

“It's not my first time and it won't be my last. Maybe the best desserts and cakes you can find in New Jersey are here. Not just dessert varieties. The breakfast is also amazing. If you like Mediterranean cuisine, especially Turkish cuisine, visit Paterson, New Jersey. I went there for breakfast both on weekends and during the week, but I think it was better on the weekend. That's why I recommend you to go for breakfast on the weekend. I have been drinking Turkish tea and eating desserts for years, but I have not seen any decrease in its taste over the years. It means that he keeps his cook well ? “

“I visit NJ often and come to taskin for most of my simits and poğaça.So far its the highest quality product I've seen in terms of simit and poğaça.One thing I will note is that the simit is not traditional simit, it has a more fluffy taste and is sweeter then the normal simit. It's still very good but for those who are simit elitist might think otherwise.“
