“Thank you to the saint of a woman who opened doors for me with day brightening conversation and the angel of a man who helped me this morning around 5:50am. Im very pregnant and their generosity and kindness helped ease the embarrassment i felt when I dropped my husband's caramel iced latte all over the front seat of my car. I wish you both the best of wonderful things.“

“BEST DUNKIN I’VE BEEN TO. Their food is nice, fresh, and for their munchkins they all have dates on them. Staff are the most friendly and best part about this place. They are kind and welcoming, and they are great at their job. Food always comes out quick and fresh, longest i’ve had to wait for food was 10-20 minutes on a busy day. The atmosphere is pleasant, and this place is always decorated for the season, and the locals aren’t that bad. I’ve never had an issue with this place in my 2-3 years of coming here. Sometimes one of the machines can get loud, but it’s not for super long! This place is amazing, I 100% recommend it!“

“Muito bom …………………………………..“

“Saw this gorgeous little boutique in the mall, and I had to stop in!
The presentation of the chocolates and gelatos are eye catching and organized. I love the displays for Easter and chocolate eggs are my favorite!! Especially the mini Lampone eggs. I grabbed many mix & match chocolates along the wall which are paid by weight. The employee named Angel was very kind and helpful explaining all of the options and recommending gelato flavors which made making a decision much easier for me.
I chose a gourmet baby cone with pistachio and it was scooped to perfection! I will be back for more soon :)“

“Delicious Banh Mi and refreshing drinks. Learned today that they make the bread in-house; literally mind blowing 🤯. The bread was crisp and crunchy, pork was perfectly marinated, and the veggies were fresh. The price was very economical considering the value.“

“Love it!!� ����������“

“Amazing Food and service !!“

“I simply LOVE this place. It not only has the best vegan sandwiches and desserts, the hospitality is amazing. Everyone is very friendly and welcoming. The only thing bad is that they are 45 minutes from me. I wish there was one closer to where I live. I would be going more often. I'm hoping one day they will become a franchise. I would definitely want to open a How Delish! ❤️“

“First time visited and my expectations were certainly blown away! The eclectic yet calming ambiance of Cafe By Us, along with the amazing outside artwork and craftsmanship of the building alone will make me a frequent visitor. A peaceful setting that seems fitting for folk of all ages, styles and backgrounds. Much of the decor has great meaning, so if possible and interested, I recommend asking the owner Sam (a very personable individual) all about it. My mom and I ordered a lemon ginger tea, a caramel machiatto and a chicken sandwich and were extremely satisfied! The prices are very fair (especially in this economy), and the orders were delivered to us pleasantly by staff and within a reason timeframe. My only regret was that I didn’t try more of the options. However, i will certainly be back and will be sure to eventually try each item outlined on the menu, more than once! A great unique addition to the city and I will surely encourage many to try out this cafe. - Jimi“

“This is my favorite cafe to work and relax at. The decor is cozy and beautiful, and the staff are extremely kind and friendly. Since the cafe has opened I have been coming regularly and I always have a positive experience! The lattes are lovely, as are the pastries and baked goods which I have tried.“

“A convenient shop to purchase fresh roasted beans. 🫘 their beans make an excellent cup of coffee.“

“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!“

“I go there once a month to see my friend The Doms play there! Super clean, friendly, and occasionally the dog “Bronco” is there! He’s the sweetest dog ever! But definitely a friendly atmosphere! Highly highly recommend! Even if it’s just for a coffee, tea, or latte.. they have it! “The house of coffee crack!”“

“Fonzie is such an incredible, exceptional person!! When the Anniversary Blend was sold out Fonzie recommended the Manhattan Blend. He's kind, endearing, personable and a joy to shop with. He takes good care of people and loves what he does. Wendy is also fantastic to work with. The food is outstanding. Come see and taste the magic in person!“

“Not being from the area (South Jersey), I've wanted to try LeGrand Coffee House for quite a while now. So on a trip up to NY a couple days ago, we finally got the chance to stop in on our way up the Parkway. This place is amazing! This beautifully-decorated coffee house had some of THE best coffee I've ever had in my entire life. I got TWO lattes while I was there (a French Vanilla and a Honey Almond). My family and I also got the chicken pesto sandwich, and it was absolutely delicious. My daughter had an iced chai tea latte and loved it. DEFINITELY get to this place if at all possible! Two thumbs up!!“

“Loved this cute little place!!! My daughter and I were out and about, and wanted to get some coffee, but not from the regular “chain” coffee shop, so after a quick search, we headed to Metuchen. We were lucky enough to get parking right outside, and walked in to be pleasantly surprised by the esthetic vibe. Everything was super clean, and we were greeted right away by the super friendly employee. My daughter ordered a cappuccino and I got iced coffee. We also got a cheese and pesto savory pastry and a passion fruit and coconut tres leches dessert. Everything was delicious!!!!! Thanks for the enjoyable experience. We will definitely return.“

“Had a terrible experience today. They gave me the wrong sandwich. Tried to call them to send me a new one but all you get is a voicemail. Emailed them and even messaged them on Instagram and they never responded. So I was stuck at work all day without any food or any reimbursement“

“The Morning Roast is incredible! Alex and Sean truly care about their craft and making sure your experience is authentic and enjoyable. The coffee is genuinely the best coffee I’ve ever had. Alex’s love for what he does is infectious and his knowledge of coffee is unmatched. It can get a little crowded from time to time but 100% worth the wait. You will not be disappointed.“

“I Absolutely love this coffee spot! The coffee is always fresh and delicious, and the service is amazing. Ahmet and his staff are incredibly friendly, welcoming, and always make you feel right at home. You can tell they genuinely care about their customers and the experience they provide. Great coffee, great atmosphere, and even better people. Definitely one of my favorite spots—I highly recommend stopping by!“

Sankofa has become of hub of the community, often hosting social and cultural events, in addition to participating in community outreach in support of many causes.

“Sweet Jeans is the best spot in the area for Taylor Ham/Egg/Cheese bagel sandwiches! Lattes, hot and iced, are consistently superb as well. It’s always a great morning thanks to Hector and Victor. I have to echo the other reviews as well—extremely cozy vibes that might make you think you’re in a small town a half-hour west.“

“My hubby and I came here for lunch. Once we sat down, we were immediately greeted by our server Austin. I cannot tell you how amazing he was. From the second we sat down until the moment we left, he was outstanding. Friendly, professional, knowledgeable about the food and patient. He gave such great suggestions and I followed his suggestions. I got the quesadilla and my hubby got the rise and shine. Both were so so good! The quesadilla was DELICIOUS. I had it with a sauce on the side and it was amazing. We also spoke with the manager James who was so so nice and professional and just such a pleasure to speak with. Hands down recommend this restaurant and if you are a nice person, ask for Austin!“

“The drinks, food, service, and atmosphere are all 10/10!!!

We got 3 different meals and shared them so we could try a variety of things on our first visit.

The short rib hash was outstanding, the empanadas were to-die-for, but the thing that stuck out the most are the Philly rolls…the combination of flavors didn’t make any sense with the description, but wow, sooooo delicious!!!

And the owner is incredible!

Highly recommend!!!“

It came out quickly and was of fantastic taste. Donny is very polite and kind, and she was also helpful in giving delicious recommendations. The atmosphere was very welcoming and immersive as well. It was a 10/10 experience.“
