30 Best Cafes near Hightstown

“Went for the first time 2 years ago and have been back just about every Friday since! Go for the incredibly unique and delicious pies, sandwiches, galettes, cookies, cakes, etc. and stay for the equally as amazing hospitality and service. The staff here feels like family and goes out of their way to ensure every Friday is as amazing as our first visit! Our family loves the excitement of waiting for the menu to come out every Thursday to see what new creation they’ve come up with and what delicious classics will be available.“

“Great, friendly place! Best coffee in area! No known alien abductions, but definitely a possibility!“

“My brain chemistry have permanently been altered by the crème brûlée, dark chocolate mousse, and tiramisu cake here. Got the tiramisu cake for my mom as a birthday cake a while ago and have been getting special occasion cake from them ever since. every bite was delicious and the texture is really fun. It might feel like a small cake, but it is so creamy and complex it can easily be shared by 8 people. I Love how they use solid chocolate to do their letters when you order ahead. As a big pudding/custard fan, there is just something really unique with combing all these components into these beautiful cakes. I will say if you have allergies, definitely ask, I was once surprised by delicious hazelnut component.“

“The crepes taste good and are reasonably priced for a shop in Princeton.“

“Ginger cardamom scones! Actually, all the scones are delicious. Coffee beans are roasted in a facility in Rocky Hill. Our favorite is the dark roast. Shop local!“

“Charming little cafe with excellent food and service 😊“

“Great service, very good quality of food“

“Chuck’s has friendly and welcoming staff, which I really appreciated. The food was just okay for me; personally, I found it a bit too greasy and not quite to my taste. It might be a better fit for someone who enjoys that style, but it wasn’t my favorite.“

“Nice outdoor seatings. Order at the counter and they’ll bring the food to you. Pretty coffee mugs, but the latte and flat white are not as strong as I preferred. The sandwiches are tasty, especially the steak sandwich. Reasonable prices. Can get crowded on the weekends.“

“Best-value and best tasting coffee offered around campus/town - an important accolade when even the campus-run outlets are draining bank accounts for very basic offerings. Important for new or unfamiliar campus staff to know that all are welcome, even though it is in the basement of the "Campus Club" building.“

“So glad we stopped in! Woodys was exactly what we needed after a long day of driving. Walked in and felt like home. Our server Chelsea was such a puddin’ start to finish. The hot turkey sandwich and waffle sundae put me into a perfect food coma. Best stop on our trip. Much luck to you!“

“We used this food truck for a birthday party of 60+ people. Michael and his team are phenomenal! So friendly, accommodating, efficient, punctual and the food is fantastic. Lots of options and each one was delicious! Reasonably priced for such a great service. Highly recommend them and hope to use them again in the future!!

“Came here with my girlfriend as we are trying breakfast sandwiches in the area and I was pleasantly surprised. The sandwiches are the best we've had in the area. Everything was freshly made and with real ingredients. The bacon in particular was obviously just cooked for the order. The roll was fresh and everything was well seasoned. Overall, I highly recommend!“

“This coffee shop is amazing! The owner is wonderful. She recently came to our apartment at The Parc at Princeton Junction for a wine and truffle tasting for Valentine’s Day and it was a fabulous event. So my boyfriend and I decided to stop by her coffee shop and try it out and was I blown away! The coffee was absolutely wonderful! The atmosphere is amazing! If you are ever in the Princeton area I highly recommend this coffee shop!“

Service was fast and efficient

We recommend the Black Pearl.“

“Full disclosure, i am a meat eater, but really love the vegetarian/vegan options they have here. I just had their vegan taco salad and could not tell it did not contain meat. It was delicious!“

“⭐️ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ FIVE STARS!! Huge shout out to, Tim! I had a rough weekend and needed some good food. He provided just that with a big smile and great customer service!!“

“Wood Craft catered an event at Princeton during reunions and it was fantastic. I had pulled pork, ribs, chicken, and mac n cheese. Fantastic, tasty, tender. I took their card and hope to get my department at work to order from them.“

“We recently hosted a Sweet 16 party here, and it couldn’t have been a better experience! From the very beginning, Francesca (the owner and chef) made everything so easy. She personally helped us plan the menu and was so accommodating with all of our requests — it really took the stress out of planning.

The food was absolutely delicious! Every dish was fresh and full of flavor, and our guests couldn’t stop talking about how amazing everything was.

The staff was just as wonderful. Everyone was polite, attentive, and genuinely kind. Our party ended up going past the restaurant’s closing time, but the team was so patient and gracious, never making us feel rushed.

We’re so grateful to Francesca and her staff for helping make this celebration so special. I’d highly recommend this restaurant to anyone — whether you’re planning an event or just going out for a great meal. Our family will definitely be back soon!“

“too expensive, horrible service, arrogant and ignorant staff. unless you have 15 minutes to wait for a simple coffee and muffin while these igorant people commiserate with college students, dont bother patronizing this place. $15 for muffin, coffee and tip makes Starbucks seem inexpensive.“

“BAPS SWAMINARAYAN Akshardham makes my heart swell with pride and joy! Pardon me for bringing this to light: - I visited the BAPS SWAMINARAYAN Akshardham and was dismayed at seeing a couple taking pictures kissing in front of the Akshardham. I get that this mandir is open to the public and has become a tourist attraction because of its magnificence. But at the end of the day, it is still a Hindu Temple and a sacred place where Hindus worship and in this case the house of Bhagwan Swaminarayan. Some people are visiting for their tic-toc, Facebook and Instagram viral moment; as you’d be amazed at the poses you see people striking for pictures, but they should be RESPECTFUL OF HINDU CULTURAL NORMS! When visiting any Basilica in Europe - Clothing should generally cover the shoulders, chest, midriff, and knees. The dress code is similar here. People don’t have to wear traditional Hindu Attire but PLEASE, the public should dress modestly to show respect for ancient cultural traditions and norms! Wearing leggings is not dressing modestly. No one wants to see women’s bootie at a mandir! And kissing on the lips at a Mandir is the equivalent to tourists etching their names onto the walls of Rome’s Colosseum. PLEASE BE RESPECTFUL OF THE CULTURE AND NORMS OF THE PLACE YOU”RE VISITING! OM SHANTI“

“Very clean, great service, great food and the best bagels! what else an you ask for in a bagels store?“
