50 Best Cafes near Highland Park

“We have been coming to Okie Pokii for years but this time I have to leave a review. Food are still really good. There's a promotion for free snow ice or waffle with $50+ purchase and dining in. We picked the mango snow ice. We thought it was just going to be a small sample sized snow cup, but it's not! It's a full massive size (look at the picture). Kids were so happy about it ? the flavor was also very good ?“

“Un excelente servicio y los desayunos 🧇 💯“

“Food, service, and ambiance are A-1. Will definitely go again and recommend to others.“

“I love their chai. I've been here a few times, and have had my fair share of chai at the "trendy" spots, and will say this is definitely up there. Their desserts are pretty great as well. I'd definitely recommend this spot for anyone wanting great desi chai. ?“

“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.“

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

“as I was so exhausted, so I thought about going to Evoo to relax. I had halloumi cheese seasoned with zatar and well grilled with honey and I had a cortada to drink. the whole experience was so perfect and it really made me feel so satisfied. The guy who served me was very calm and pleasant. this makes you at ease. one should definitely go to this place for great mediterranean food.“

“Went for our first time for lunch today and the food and staff was excellent! I highly recommend coming here! We will definitely come back!“

“I recently visited Koko Loko cafe in New Brunswick and had the pleasure of trying their Pistachio Latte and Caramel Latte. While both drinks were enjoyable, the Pistachio Latte truly stole the show.

The Pistachio Latte was perfectly balanced, with a rich, nutty flavor that wasn’t overly sweet but still indulgent. It had a creamy texture that complemented the espresso beautifully, making every sip an absolute delight. It’s one of those drinks that leaves you wanting more even after the last drop.

The Caramel Latte was good as well, with a classic sweetness and smooth finish, but it didn’t quite compare to the unique and standout flavor of the Pistachio Latte. If you’re deciding between the two, I’d highly recommend going for the pistachio—it’s a game changer!

The ambiance of the shop was cozy, and the service was friendly and efficient. I’ll definitely be returning to try more of their menu, but the Pistachio Latte is already a favorite.

5/5 stars for the Pistachio Latte alone!“

“I love the food and the friendly service. I am a regular customer.“

“Great food and friendly service!!!“

“Tiny location, packs a pearl.... comedy. ?I love their Thai Tea Boba and their waffles are amazing ?? whether you like croffles or their house made (?) batter. All smoothies I've had have been delicious as well as their Dolgona(hope I'm spelling that right) coffee boba! SUPPORT THIS BUSINESS??tons of parking btw!“

“The store is small but exquisite
I really like this colorful little shop
The store clerk is also very warm and friendly 😆
Good food made by passionate people tastes better too
The rice that looks like its grains are actually so fragrant
Türkiye is an Islamic country
Because I can’t eat pork🐽
Meats are mainly beef, mutton, and chicken
Tried the mutton skewers and chicken and it was very delicious (because I don’t eat beef)
Yogurt and Tomato BBQ is a mouth-watering dish
Be sure to order their desserts
Ordered rice pudding and baklava
I think the pudding made from rice must be tasteless.
The result tasted so dense and refreshing😳I was really surprised
Baklava is perfect for ants with a sweet tooth
It tastes like warm mille-feuille with pistachio sauce on top
Very delicious! ! But I don’t dare to eat too much because it’s too sweet🤣
Thanks to the boss for buying us many cups of tea and Turkish coffee
It tastes great with Turkish Delight“

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

“I recently discovered Good Vibes Cafe in Fords, NJ, and it has quickly become our go-to spot. John and Angelica, the owners, create an atmosphere that is not only friendly but genuinely welcoming. Every visit feels like a warm, positive experience. My son and I have spent countless enjoyable hours at the cafe, often hanging out with their wonderful daughter Jade. The teas and shakes are a delight, offering a refreshing and diverse selection. The ambiance is just perfect for relaxing and unwinding. And let's talk about the donuts – they are out of this world! The flavors are unique, and the freshness is unbeatable. Each bite feels like a little piece of heaven. Good Vibes Cafe is more than just a place to grab a drink or snack; it's an experience filled with warmth, great company, and, of course, fantastic treats. If you're in Fords, NJ, do yourself a favor and soak in the good vibes at this exceptional cafe.“

“One of my favorite bakeries from now on. Love the pastries, drinks and the crew service is very good as well.“

“Excellent breakfast- so fresh- huge portions. Always delicious“

“Popped in for lunch when picking up something nearby. I was really impressed! Nothing fancy just good food! Staff were so friendly and seemed to know everyone. I'll definitely be back!“

“More then food - kindness & 💜“

“Amazing Cinnamon Rolls. Perfectly baked dough, not over done. Extra Cinnamon, not the cheap stuff and plenty of sweet glaze for the top.“

“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!“

“We love the atmosphere, the delicious homemade soups, main dishes, and desserts at the lovely Friends Friend's Cafe :) the jazz evenings outdoors, the chess-playing and studying students & Mo, Josephine, and Hannah with the heart of gold for all furry friends who are welcome inside the cafe, and, of course, on the patio <3 <3 <3 Below is our Rover enjoying his doggie meal and a comfy bed at the cafe :)“

“Cute costa Rican 🇨🇷 spot.
Very friendly and welcoming.
The empanada are $5 but if you are a big empanada fanatic like me, you should definitely try it. The chicken and beef are my favorite. They are stuffed... no air pocket whatsoever. Pulled beef and pulled chicken.

The food was good but a bit blend. Just need a little more seasoning on the eggs especially. Maybe salt and pepper may solve it for some but I needed more. Lol

I got the breakfast tacos and added chicken to it. The chicken were just added on top and the were big pieces of chicken. I had to diced it myself to mesh it all together. You must be quick with the tacos or the tortilla gets very soft and makes it impossible to hold.

Overall I enjoy my empanada and took my leftover which I spice up the next day on the stove.

If in the area again, i would visit this place for their empanada and delicious ice coffee.

You can bring your dog here. Very dog friendly and I thing they were doing photoshoot with the dogs when I visited.“

“Great time today with NBHS classmates for lunch. Good food, friendly staff. New favorite drink in a can: Spindrift. Special thanks to cashier who took the great photo. Sorry, didn’t get her name.“

“Pizza 🍕 needs to be sliced for serving“

“EXCELLENT Experience at Parlin Panera!
🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

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

“delicious food, great service!!!!!“

“Had a Family Birthday Celebration Awesome definitely go back!!“

“Always fresh. Great new salad. Asian chicken. RealtorPeggy“

“Everything was always so fresh and tasty. The Staff goes out of their way for the Customers.“

“Darren the team manager is such a friendly and accommodating person! Goes above and beyond. Unfortunately there are no lemon slices anymore at all Panera's, not specifically this one, which is just such a tragic loss. But overall, this Panera is great!“

“Our first time trying this restaurant. It was very good! Friendly staff and delicious food. We will be back again.“

“This was one of the best omelets I've ever had in my life and I'm an omelet girl. I wish I lived by this place because it would be my go-to breakfast spot. I got the western omelet and it was so fresh with just the right amount of cheese.“

“Is it crazy to call this the most underrated place in Piscataway?? No one knows about this gem inside the YMCA but their food is super tasty and fresh. Their açai bowls and smoothies are refreshing and delicious and perfect for the summer. Also this might be crazy but their chicken tenders might be the best I've ever had!! They're perfectly crispy and juicy and tender all at the same time. Would definitely recommend especially if you're at the Y hanging out or at the gym for a treat after!“

“(Translated by Google) Excellent service and quality food, it also has buffet-style food and food for all kinds of events ???? Recommended(Original)Excelente servicio y calidad en la comida, también cuenta con comida tipo buffet y comida para todo tipo de eventos ???? Recomendado“

“Went there for take out lunch Staff was phenomenal!“

“I don’t know the employees name, but occasionally I run in with a last minute craving on my way to work @8:30pm. I know it’s towards the end of the night, but she is still always so pleasant and my food always made perfect and quickly. Tonight’s turkey sandwich was no exception. Too many times people just complain or take good service for granted, and I’d love to see see them get the recognition deserved. Some of us do appreciate it, especially when we’re running to work. Thank you! 🙂“

“It’s always nice and clean. And the staff is very helpful. I just love this place always buying what I don’t really need😊“

“💯 muy rica la comida y la ambiente quiero ir a bailar“

“We were looking for Brasilian salgadinhos to snack on during the Copa 2024 Brasil game. We found a large assortment at Cafe Cirino.
It’s a small place, with tables. A surprisingly large menu, with lots of choices. Gabriela took our order, which was made on the spot and well packaged for the trip home.
Paid parking across the street.“

“Quality of the meat could’ve been a better restaurant choice as I believe I have the same sausage at home. Overall, came for the vibe on a really rainy day while I waited for my appointment time. I was still please with my sandwich and coffee but want to give it another try. Love this cafe!“

“Great atmosphere, friendly employees. Tried the avocado toast, they sprinkle crushed red pepper on the avocado and it gives it great flavor.“

“Ordered a Brookly Pie tonight...$21 Had it delivered....$4.50 delivery fee!!!!! Paid with debit card....$1.08 fee Gave driver $7 tip = $35 for 1 pizza!!!!!!!! 1 pizza!!!!!!!! $5.58 in ridiculous charges. I'd rather you tack it onto the price. Then again, $21 for dough, sauce and cheese is already excessive by itself. And, not much sauce at all on my pie. You lost a loyal customer tonight.“

“This location is just so delightful. If any error is made they truly care and always go the extra mile to satisfy customers. There’s a manager by the name Sam ( with glasses) and she truly truly embodies the definition of a good hearted soul. I hope she becomes successful and runs her own buisness alongside a franchise of Panera.“

“My son's 5th birthday party was here and he had a blast!! Even the adults who had socks jumped and had a great time. Melanie our host was so amazing!!; Melanie was so fun and made the kids laugh. Melanie is very attentively to our party!!“

“Chicken sandwich and lemonade all the flavors 🔥“
