“Me and my family were pleasantly surprised by the food at Snack Mania! We were in town visiting and decided to look up places to eat after a long day and so glad we took a chance on Snack Mania. The smoothies were AMAZING! I got a pineapple mint smoothie and it was heavenly! My sons enjoyed their burgers and fries and my husband enjoyed his chicken sandwhich. I got a beef empanada and it was good as well. I recommend giving them a try if you’re looking a quick bite or a refreshing drink!“

The atmosphere was inviting, and the food was authentic, flavorful, and beautifully presented. Every dish was prepared with care, bringing out the rich, bold flavors of Haitian cuisine. Whether you’re a longtime fan of Haitian food or trying it for the first time, this place is a must-visit. I highly recommend for anyone looking for a fantastic meal and a top-tier dining experience.

“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.“

“I went here today with my cousins actually I don’t know the guys name there but he definitely is experienced, full of joy, and it’s funny bc I bought matcha from him and it was great like he knew what he was doing. However I’m new in the area so I thought I should try the coffee across the street. And it was not bad but redemption rlly was redeeming itself bc of the matcha. I regret not gettting coffee from here. As I walked back with the other coffee he saw us. When we saw him it looked like he thought we betrayed him. However he doesn’t know that his coffee shop is way better. And I will be there more often. Also the atmosphere was awesome!!!“

“I made an order on TGCplayer and the card made it through the mail perfect. They packaged the card so it couldn't get damaged. I will definitely buy from them again.“

“My girlfriend and myself, retired Philadelphia Police Officers were going on a cruise on 9/12/24 out of Cape Liberty. We arrived early and were looking for a cup of coffee and a quick breakfast. Luckily we picked Une Tasse Cafe, the coffee was fantastic and the breakfast wraps and pastries were delicious. The owner was warm and welcoming and introduced us to her dog, who actually let me pet him. I wish this restaurant was closer to where we live, coffee that good is hard to find. I just ordered two pounds on their web site so that I can enjoy it at home. Hopefully on our next cruise we will stop there again.“

“Pop up dinner at cafe zingara was a one of a kind experience. The newly opened breakfast/lunch spot has become a local favorite so when I heard about the pop up dinner I had to be there. The chefs prepared several appetizer courses and 3 main courses served family-style. There was an abundance of food. The lamb chops were some of the best I’ve had, and the chicken parm on the bone was a unique touch on a classic favorite. Hopefully these dinners will become a regular occurrence because it was one of the best meals I’ve had in my life.“

“We are learning about Taiwan in school and decided to try Bubble Tea. The employees were very kind and explained how Bubble tea originated from Taiwan, gave our children stickers and helped them through their first time eating the Boba. I love that they have caffeine free and low sugar options.

Kid-friendliness: Low sugar and caffeine free options. They were also very friendly to our children and gave them stickers.“

So sweet and fluffy. The coffee was so good and rich. Camille was my server today and she was nothing short of the best. Greeted me warmly and gave me great service. Will definitely be back, thank you so much!“
