“Friendly service always with a smile“

“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.“

“Incredible food made from scratch everything cook on premises Man size portion“

“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!“

“We had short rib pho- the best I’ve ever had. This pho has claimed to number 1.
Wings- crispy, well cooked and seasoned.
Potstickers AMAZING!!
Vermicelli noodle bowl- 4.5 fresh ingredients and flavorful
Brisket pho added some meatballs- savory

Nice people, quick service, pricing is fair.“

“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! ❤️“

“When I first discovered this cafe I instantly fell in love with the atmosphere of the cafe. Everything on the menu is so delicious! And the staff is super friendly.“

“Great place! A coffee hangout for the post modern beat generation !“

“We stopped in at the cafe while visiting the area. The staff was very friendly and they were helpful in making recommendations. We enjoyed a delicious and strong Freddo Cappuccino, along with a couple of their mini Greek cheese pies. Would definitely come back!“

“Great location great business grade coffee downtown , Cranford the best“

“The atmosphere is warm and inviting. The decor facilitates a creative space for gathering with friends and colleagues.“

“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!”“

“I ordered a maple cold brew with pistachio cold foam from their winter menu and a few donuts. It was all delicious!“

“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 :)“

“I love it. It's the sister's leading in Essex County with the best coffee shops. Don't let nothing and nobody else fool you It's the sisters. It's their home and they know how to serve us with their gorgeous shops, core service and products“

“I am so happy to have found an amazing cafe close to home. This place and the people are so inviting. I’ve tried their chai tea latte and avocado twice so far and they are consistently with taste and preparation. This will be my new go to spot!“

“Today I came in and ordered a simple small coffee, and usually I just grab and go. But I was met with a beautiful smile and great conversation by Egypt. I haven’t had the experience I had today in awhile. You can tell she’s amazing by showing much care with the drinks and customer service. It was like talking to a friend instead of a stranger. Def will be coming back just to hopefully see her again!“

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

“Lovely neighborhood cafe near the Walnut train station. Great service and great drinks. It’s awesome to find a place that really knows how to make a matcha latte. We also tried one of their pumpkin scones the other day— perfect taste and not too sweet!“

“Amazing Food and service !!“

“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!!“

“Was in the area because I was looking for a snack while house hunting in the area, lucky me to stumble upon this cafe. Very bright when you walk in and clean, the bathroom being a plus. I ordered croissant, apple turnover and rice pudding....all very good and the customer service was pleasant“

“Too damn good. I been searching for a local cafe to replace these greedy corporate ones and found this little gem. This is my third visit so that says something. The staff is always super friendly and personalable. Even met the owner and she’s super sweet! Her coffee creations are so creative and pretty and tastes so damn good as I mentioned previously. The vibe will feel so nostalgic especially for my fellow millennials. And they also put a cute little inspo message on the lid of the cup. It’s the cutesy details for me. Highly recommend!“

“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.“

“Great spot for coffee and the owners are super friendly.“

“I had one of their custard tarts and a Nutella filled donut from their stand at the Summit Farmers Market this past Sunday. The tart was delicious. But that donut! HOLY DELICIOUSNESS! Off the charts dynamite 🧨. Fluffy, soft, sugary and an appropriate amount of Nutella filling. I’m in loooove. SoCal, to me, has a lock on donuts. I have found my Cali donut hookup! Thank you“

“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.“

“Best Gluten Free pizza you will find. Reminds Me of the days before I was diagnosed with Celiac, I will be back for more“

“Pyszne zdrowe deserki na każdą okazję 🌹🌹“

“My family and I dropped by this place and we felt at home. The service is amazing with Mr Anshul. The place is new, clean with a cozy and friendly atmosphere. The coffee is great and the service is quick. We have a great experience with our dine in. A beautiful place to hang out!!!!“

“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!“

“Their espresso is excellent ..a must over their ice cream ..“

“wow, amazing!! very unique flavors, friendly staff and a great atmosphere. i had the cassava latte and the leche flan latte. highly recommend! wish i lived in the area so i could come here again!“

“I love their salmon toast. One of my favorites. Great coffee menu.“

“Beautiful atmosphere, good food, friendly customer service. Our visit on 3/1/25 was awesome. Our server (a nice young lady - I forgot her name :( ) was so kind and helpful. make your own bouquets & selfie studio was over the top. We've found "Our Place" for get togethers.“

“Everything is delicious!❤️“

“I recently visited Cova Coffee, and it was an outstanding experience from start to finish. From the moment I walked in, I was greeted by a welcoming and cozy atmosphere that immediately made me feel comfortable. The café strikes the perfect balance between modern design and a relaxed vibe, making it a great spot to meet friends, work remotely, or enjoy a quiet coffee break.

The coffee at Cova Coffee is exceptional. Every cup is prepared with care, using high-quality beans that deliver rich, smooth, and perfectly balanced flavors. I tried a specialty latte, and it was perfectly crafted, with a beautiful presentation and a depth of flavor that truly stood out. The menu also offers a variety of other beverages and light bites, all thoughtfully made to complement the coffee experience.

The staff at Cova Coffee are friendly, knowledgeable, and genuinely passionate about what they do. They provided excellent recommendations and made sure my experience was seamless from start to finish. Their attention to detail and warm hospitality added a personal touch that made the visit even more enjoyable.

“The atmosphere is chill and I really like the Airplane vibe. The Airline seats really give it a nice touch. Coffee was great! Also love that old style Airline ticker on the wall. Will be back.“

“came for a midday snack. crepes are delicious. kids loved the froyo there were several board games to choose from. were had a great afternoon at this cafe. staff was friendly & welcoming.“

“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.“

“the staff is excellent nahum end sulma yarixa the guy who helps you select the food for the bowl is amazing. also the manager at night is also very sweet! great environment! food is amazing. they also have specials and also can get points. the service is above and beyond“

“Great coffee and nice people. This would become my go-to each morning if they were open at 5 AM.“

“Great artsy atmosphere, delicious desserts.“

“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“

“Coffee! Love that it’s near my home and convenient Drive thru!“

“I've been coming to Skiddoo since 2019 and have watched Hodge serve his community during COVID lockdown - providing people a semblance of normality in the unknown.

This coffee shop is more than just great coffee - it's a place where you can go when you need to feel connected to humanity. A familiar feeling of home when you might not have one.

I mean, the coffee is spectacular - probably the best in NJ. But the people and owner make it worth the visit. Can't recommend it enough!“

“Lunch was absolutely great. I would definitely go again!“
