Cafes near Lakewood

“So many yummy options and great staff. Always willing to serve you and prepare your food with a smile. I really enjoy coming here to grab a quick bite and sometimes for a sitdown lunch. As well, always a great spot. Plenty of parking available outside can get a little bit traffic during the day.But overall great spot to grab food“

“So many freshly-baked items, I had a hard time choosing. My students were thrilled that I went out of my way to shop here. While I bought 4 different items, I needed to get triple the amount of black and white cookies. I know now for next time. So many compliments and thank yous as students picked some of each item.“

“Great bagel shop. Perfect place for breakfast and lunch. Food is delicious. Portions are generous. The workers are always ready to help. They are quick and efficient. Highly recommended! Food is extremely tasty. The whole place is very clean and welcoming. Perfect place for a family meal. You can bring babies and kids.“

“Amazingly friendly customer service, great food and coffee with a good selection of gluten free options.“

“This is legitimately one of the best lunch spots I've been to in the area after working near Howell/Ramtown for the past, like, 10 years. I got the grilled chicken panini w/ pesto and mozzarella and an order of fries. Everything was delicious, fresh, and super hot when I picked it up. The fries are always super crispy, and the bread is great (bread makes or breaks a sandwich IMO). Also, the Tex Mex salad with chipotle vinaigrette and grilled chicken may legitimately be the perfect salad.

I ordered online and stopped in really quick to grab everything. The staff was super nice.

If you're in the area and feeling a little hungry, definitely give this place a shout.“

“Toast Cafe absolutely knocked it out of the park for our Sheva Brochos!
We hosted the entire event there (about 40 guests) and from start to finish everything was top-notch. The food was fresh, beautifully presented, and delicious—everyone raved about the salmon especially. Portion sizes were generous and everything was perfectly seasoned.
The staff was warm, professional, and genuinely excited to be part of our simcha. Service throughout the night was seamless, and the manager personally checked in multiple times to make sure we had everything that we needed.
The space itself is clean, modern, and felt perfect for an family Sheva Brochos—elegant but not stuffy. Pricing was very fair for the quality and service we received.
Highly recommend Toast Cafe for private events, especially in the frum community. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Thank you for helping make our Sheva Brochos so special!
Will definitely be back for brunch too 😊“

“I got a lavender + earl grey latte with a honey cold foam and it was amazinggg

Also got their ham and swiss pastry, the portion was so generous that I was pretty much full after eating half of it“

“We had Castaways cater my daughter’s engagement party. The food was delicious and there was plenty of it. Chicken franchise, broccoli and cavatelli, roasted potatoes, mozzarella and tomato and shrimp cocktail that was amazing!!!! I’m definitely going to use them again!“
