The cafe is super cute, the food and coffee were really good and on top of that the service was also really nice! They have plenty of vegan/vegetarian options as well. To top all of this they're also dog friendly. Highly recommend it for anyone looking for a brunch place or just grabbing coffee.

This place looks super cute so I had high hopes for it but was extremely disappointed. The service and food were not up to par. The young guy working in the front has zero customer service skills and looks like he is being forced to do his job. Not once got a hello, thank you, or anything. Was barely even acknowledged while placing my order. I ordered a cream cheese and jelly bagel and when I opened it, it only had jelly. I brought it to the guys attention and he just took the bagel back. A few minutes he gave it back and didn’t even apologize or say anything to me. Just placed it on the counter and turned back around. When I opened my bagel, I had been given not even 1 tablespoon of cream cheese, and it looks like it had been mixed in with the jelly in an awful way. It’s safe to say I won’t be returning here and it’s a real shame because the establishment has so much potential but for the prices they charge you would think their staff would be a bit more professional and food would be better quality.

The food is a bit on the pricier side for what you get but besides that, the quality is good and all the drinks and baked goods have been very tasty. This is my go-to cafe in the neighborhood. The atmosphere inside is very pleasant too.

Food is pretty good but not sure if a sandwich with greens, avocado and tomatoes was worth $13. Pretty simple ingredients and sandwich was small. Other than that, it’s a cute space to hang out with friends or read. I try to avoid cafes with a strong smell of food and there was a strong smell of food and grease the third time I was there so not sure if there was something wrong with their ventilation.

The place is very cute but the food was really bland. I’ve lived in this area for a few years now and I decided to check out the cafe today. I got a ham and cheese croissant, a toffuti bagel and a Belgian waffle. I don’t blame them for the toffuti cause it’s fake cream cheese but the croissants were really sad and did not have flavor. I’d Come here for a coffee or a latte but I would be careful of the food as it’s very small portions and it doesn’t really taste that great. Please test the recipes again, I would love to go back and try it after.

The Cafe Peanut Special wrap is my favorite item on their menu. I also love their turmeric and ginger teas and lattes.

I love their lattes and sandwiches. This is my go to place for lunch. Staff is super nice and service is always very quick.

The wait for the food was rather long when I visited Cafe Peanut. We had a party of 7 so I understand long waits but it was way longer than I expected, and even worse most of our food was cold, specifically the bagels. I ordered the egg and cheese on a bagel and it was good but nothing special. Despite all this, I enjoyed the live music and the atmosphere overall. It was a cute little cafe and I feel like I would've enjoyed it more if I just came for coffee rather than the food.

Everything here is divine- the people, the ambience, and the food! Highly recommend and the coffee is first class!

Cute cafe in an area that needs more of them!Reasonably priced sandwiches for lunch - had the smoked salmon and the quesadilla (more like a toasted wrap, but still tasty).Will definitely be back to try brunch!

Incredibly decorative and autumn themed! I love the layout and complex yet intricate decorations they put inside the restaurant. Voted one of New Jersey's Best 15 restaurants by The Times, this is an excellent place to come to especially now in this season. It serves a solid variety of beverages and breads. The store owner himself is kind and very friendly. Not only that, but the place itself has a small lounge itself with a mini coffee table perfect for reading, completing work, or taking a break from the average schedule we have in our everyday lives. As for my first time, this was quite the delightful experience! They served free pretzels alongside the coffee! Awesome!

Slow service (they served all of my friends and do I waited over 15mn to get my eggs …).Though the food is good there.The place is cozy but too bad that the place was smelling food. As we we left, all of our clothes were smelling eggs and bacon.
