We have been here mornings, afternoons, and evenings. Every single person here is incredibly professional and hospitable to us. They all deserve a raise.“

“Fabulous trendy coffee shop with a warm, inviting atmosphere! The comfy chairs make it the perfect spot to relax. I had a delicious latte with oat milk—so creamy and flavorful. I also tried the avocado, halloumi, and eggs on toast with mushrooms, and it was absolute perfection. Highly recommend and definitely put this on the list to visit !“

“High Tea to celebrate a friend’s birthday. What a treat. I had no idea I could arrange a High Tea in central NJ. Prince Tea House was wonderful. We all enjoyed the food and ambiance. The robot was adorable, especially when s/he sang “Happy Birthday” to my friend. A wonderful ‘Ladies Day Out’ for 5 of us. Plans were already being made to return by members of my party.“

“Great coffee, relaxed atmosphere, super friendly staff, and I can sit outside with my pup.“

“Great coffee, great breakfast, and friendly atmosphere!“

“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!“

“We dropped in for breakfast. The coffee was great and the various pastries and pies. Everything has amazing. We ordered Spinach turnover, cheese danish, egg avocado cheese Sandwich, beef salami and leak and Parma jam turnover, almond raspberry pie croissant.

Service was fast and efficient

We recommend the Black Pearl.“

“Lyberry Coffee is amazing with fresh, delicious food and seasonal coffees! The staff is very friendly and the atmosphere is welcoming and calm. Go enjoy!“

“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.“

“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!“

“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.“

“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!“

“By far THEE BEST oat milk mocha on ZEE planet ❤️🔥“

“Great pastry and wonderful black tea. The person behind the counter was very hospitable and friendly. I definitely recommend the cream puffs.“

“Good food“

“Nice service area before Exit 6 on NJ Turnpike (I-95). There’s Dunkin, Auntie Ann, Burger King, and couple of regular stores. Restrooms are clean and well maintained. Lots of table to sit and dine.

The Sunoco gas station has lots of pumps. Attendees available at all times. They also have Tesla Superchargers, about 8 stations. It’s about 1 minutes walk from the main building. The area is clean and they charge super fast.“

“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.“

“What a truly wonderful experience it was coming here. This nice young lady that works there was very polite. There was a bit of traffic building up in there behind me, but she was very patient with me as I surely took quite a while to order a few things for my family members. Everything was clean, and freshly organized. She even made sure to reassure me that the utensils were all cleaned properly because I tend to get a bit skeptical due to the possibility of cross contamination. The ice cream quality was great! Much better than most other places in this area. I never asked for that young lady’s name but she wore a lot of bracelets, and had black nails just like my daughter, which I complemented! I will be back in here for sure!

Will recommend this place for all ice cream lovers!“

“Charming little cafe with excellent food and service 😊“

“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!“

“stopped for some takeout. great food. friendly staff. will definitely go again when im in the area“

“This is one of those rare places where you would chop off one of your fingers to have a location in your area. Please come to Philly! But seriously the Peruvian salad was so good, such amazing dressing and fresh lettuce, and likewise the salmon entrée was so good. Flavors on everything were sensational. Hard to believe this was at a takeout counter type of place.Amazingly healthy and even good dessert if you wanted to indulge afterwards.“

“A bowl for every taste. I love this place!“

“A new, clean restaurant with really delicious food. I visited after a school tour in NJ and was warmly welcomed by the owner with all kinds of Vietnamese dishes: spring rolls, bánh khọt, pho, fried chicken wings with fish sauce… everything was amazing. The atmosphere is cozy and feels just like home. A definite ‘must-try’ spot when in NJ!“

“I ordered catering for yesterday , stuffed cabbage , kofta, chicken shish and kabab hala honestly it was soooo good , very delicious, all the people were so happy I really highly recommend Taza restaurant 😍😍“

“Best coconut donut! Among others. I’m glad to found this little place. So delicious. They no longer have coconuts donuts long time ☹️. It’s ok“

“The coffee is excellent and the staff is professional, caring and have an enjoyable sense of humor. I will be back.“

“Great place! Coffee is amazing and their matcha drinks are the best. If you’re ever craving something cold and fresh that’s the place to go’“

“One of my favorite Starbucks locations. The atmosphere is calm and welcoming—not too crowded, with comfortable seating and tables inside, and plenty of space to relax outside as well. The staff is always polite and clearly knows what they’re doing. Great spot to work, read, or just enjoy your coffee in peace.“

“Always get my iced coffee 100% and simply are awsome !“

“Sue Dhru does exceptional service , every time and I often see her at three different locations, very hard working, kind and friendly person working for Dunkin !!!

Vegetarian options: Avocado toast , harsh brown n everything cream bagels!!!“

“The best strawberry ice cream I’ve ever had! It was so good and tasted like real strawberries! The line was almost around the block but moved really quickly. Only thing is they don’t offer samples :( so you just gotta commit without knowing what it tastes like. Would definitely come again!“

“Great location.. right next to six flags . It’s about a mile from six flags and is perfectly positioned . Good and drink in six flags is so bad and pretty expensive.. so it’s a blessing to have a coffee shop close by , after a long day at 6 flags .

Not a big fan of their food .. bagels are really bad and all other breakfast items are average . Coffee is always gooooood … like their lattes and cold Coffee. The new summer drinks are ok too. Service was quick. Billing was fast . Lots of parking outside. Nice place inside to sit and drink ..there are also tables outside … good experience overall .“

“Beautiful place to visit and walk around. The grounds are open to the public, although you should be respectful of the fact this is a residential college (grad dorms). Dining hall is probably the most beautiful on campus with its fantastic stained glass. A smaller stained glass window in memory of geaduate students who died in WW1 can also be found just outside the dining hall. As a place to live it can be sociable and attractive, but the rooms are somewhat spartan and lack air conditioning. It gets very hot and humid during the summer. Other options are more comfortable, but living here has a very special charm.“

“I have an amazing experience every time I stop in to my local Starbucks. I'm assuming Megan is the manager because she has turned the place around. It's obvious she takes great pride in doing her job. Her knowledge and customer service are unmatched.They should bring in more people like her.Thanks Megan.“

“This is a convenient little coffee bar in the hotel. There aren't any coffee makers in rooms and the restaurant's kitchen is not open until noon so it is the only option for coffee and breakfast. The coffee was good and the service was great, though not staffed for large orders or a line. Food options are limited.
There is only the lobby seating as this shares the same counter as the check in desk, so need to take it to your room or find a table in another part of the lobby to sit, or near the bar if that's allowed. The lobby is quite lovely.

Dietary restrictions: Minimal information available about prepared foods (muffins, Danish), no labels for GF, etc“

“Went around 7pm and they actually had sold out of munchkins but wasn’t the end of the world and the cashier said that she still had a few donuts left. She was very nice and she was very patient with us. Definitely recommend instead of the other Dunkin down the road.“

“Im one of the managers at bakers next door. I don’t usually go to this one because its past my work. But two other places on my way in didnt have many donut selections.. this place was beautifully decorated for Christmas, had cute Christmas things you can buy, and a great variety of everything! While waiting, i even saw the owner checking the supply of donuts! Greatly ran!!“

“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!“

“I honestly can say that their staff are amazing. I was greeted very kindly and they made sure that they got everything on my order correct. Their espresso and coffee was perfect. There pastries soft and fresh. There brownies and almond croissants are to die for. I can easily say this is the best coffee shop that I have visited, and after a long day of shopping this is the place to go grab a nice fresh cup of coffee.“

“A very nice and cozy café with a limited but enough menu & a wired working hours! Food is not allowed in the library so you could sit, relax, and dine here (please 1) note that this café is not open to public, 2)check the working hours before you go there to buy food!!)???“

“Great ice cream and atmosphere! We enjoyed listening to the live music tonight as well!“

“We stopped in on the way back from a trip to Trenton. We searched for a place to get Pho, soup dumplings and boba tea. This place hit on all three.
This is a small store front and at 9 PM on a Saturday it was very busy. There were a few seats open but most were full. There were a half dozen or more people waiting for food and drinks and a steady stream of people were coming in to pick up takeout.
The decor is contemporary, bright and busy lots of signs, specials, menus, etc.
There were only three employees visible and all were in constant motion.
The service was efficient without time to do much more than acknowledge each customer.
The food and drinks are focus and the draw
I am not a huge fan of boba tea, but when asked to try it, I have to say that it was excellent. The milk tea was rich and flavorful, the bobas were not too sweet, the texture was so much better than others that I've had. (Admitting that I am no expert, I will say that I will definitely explore the drink options when I am able to visit again.)
The soup dumplings were delicious. Many different flavors shown through and blended perfectly.
My favorite pho is roast pork, which was not an option, so we got the standard beef. It was also very good.
This seems to be a Princeton staple and I can absolutely see why. I wish they were closer. I would absolutely be a regular if it was close to home!
I would highly recommend this place!“

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

“I am not a fan of dunkin donuts at all. However, my wife likes to get a cappuccino every time we go shopping at the Shoprite where this store is located. The staff there recognize her on sight, always greet her with a smile, and know what she wants without her even having to ask. Very pleasant employees and an asset to the store.“

“The best Starbucks!
Best team, all the people who work here is really nice and they do a great job. If you are the owner of this location and you are reading this, Let me tell you something Sr or Mrs, value your team, they are great!!! Ariel and Hannah“

“This is my favorite Dunkin in the area. Every time I visit, everyone is kind and courteous. My drinks are always correct and always ready on time when I pick them up from the drive thru window. Always look forward to stopping by for my weekly coffee ☕ ?“
