“THIS IS MY SPOT. ALL DAY EVERY DAY EXCEPT SUNDAYS :)“

“From the moment we walked in, Sara made us feel so welcomed and comfortable. She was so professional yet warm, which really set the tone for our visit. The entire experience from start to finish was truly amazing! And Renee wow, she is a 10/10 server. So kind, attentive, and genuinely made us feel cared for the whole time. We couldn’t have asked for better service. We’re so grateful we decided to come here and will definitely be back again! 😍😍“

“10 star experience. Perfect place to relax with a latte and breakfast. Warm inviting staff with fresh homemade delights. I particularly enjoy the veggie omlette, sweet potatoes with rosemary, curried chicken salad on a croissant, and all the salads are delicious. Pastries are artfully presented and not too sweet. Also, you won't find a better biscuit in New Jersey.“

“This cafe is a true gem as mentioned on other reviews. I did not know what to order and the barista, Pearl, made a great recommendation.
Really enjoyed the seasonal iced rose peach tea with avocado toast. The pastries looked incredibly tempting. Those are for my next visit! Great atmosphere and service!“

“This is one of two breakfast spots where I enjoy the shrimp and grits. It's very delicious and filling! I get bacon to add to the grits because everything is better with bacon. The latte was also hot for almost my whole meal; everywhere else it's cold after five minutes. I'm not sure how they're doing that, but I hope they keep doing it! All the employees are polite as well. I come from another state to eat here because I love the food and the service is great.“

“Ginger cardamom scones! Actually, all the scones are delicious. Coffee beans are roasted in a facility in Rocky Hill. Our favorite is the dark roast. Shop local!“

“The crepes taste good and are reasonably priced for a shop in Princeton.“

“Nice outdoor seatings. Order at the counter and they’ll bring the food to you. Pretty coffee mugs, but the latte and flat white are not as strong as I preferred. The sandwiches are tasty, especially the steak sandwich. Reasonable prices. Can get crowded on the weekends.“

“Emily's is an absolute favorite stop for my Fiancé and I. We're about an hour away from Emily's, but we enjoy eating at Emily's so much that we make the trip at least 4 times a year. It's a scenic drive and close by to several fun towns like New Hope, Stockton and Frenchtown. We also hired Emily's to cater our wedding. Emily's has been, by far, our favorite vendor to work with. The only thing sweeter than Emily and her staff are the Peanut Butter Cookies. They are FANTASTIC.“

“Charming little cafe with excellent food and service 😊“

“Food , service , ambiance was wonderful .“

“I have been going to Chucks for wings since 1985.
Went today after a long time and they were just as good as I remembered.
I went for the 14 piece wings. Recommend

Parking: Right next door is a parking garage.
Free for 30 minutes, I was in and out, so parking was free and a short walk.“

“Great service, very good quality of food“

“The service was awesome. The ice cream was also amazing. The place looks great and it makes us feel at home.while we were waiting they gave us popcorn no charge. Definitely try salted caramel and mint chocolate chip.“

“If you would like a delicious breakfast try the biscuits and gravy with chicken. 😋😋😋“

“Tried the campfire latte and was so impressed!!! Will be coming back. They have so many options which is great. Love supporting local businesses while at work!“

“My family enjoys this great bagel café. It has a wide selection of bagels and bagel sandwiches. It also has other items on the menu, but anything not bagel centric tends to be as expensive as the nearby Edgewood Café. If you want a bagel or a bagel sandwich, this is the place to go in Edgewood/Yardley!“

“Played a lot of Billie Joel and Taylor Swift on the Jukebox. Overall pretty slay.

Parking: Not much parking :((

Dietary restrictions: Being on a vegan and paleo diet at the same time is challenging, but the chefs were so accommodating!“

“Great Food. Great Staff. Highly recommended“

“⭐️ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ FIVE STARS!! Huge shout out to, Tim! I had a rough weekend and needed some good food. He provided just that with a big smile and great customer service!!“

“Love this place, freshest boba. If you have never tried boba go for Pearl Milk Tea if you like tea, or if not go for an apple pulp tea or a fruit smoothie. You can get boba added to most drinks. A fee snacks available, too. Best place we have tried in area, and we love boba, started drinking boba tea when we visited Taiwan, so we are a bit picky. Good drinks, has small tables or carryout.“

“too expensive, horrible service, arrogant and ignorant staff. unless you have 15 minutes to wait for a simple coffee and muffin while these igorant people commiserate with college students, dont bother patronizing this place. $15 for muffin, coffee and tip makes Starbucks seem inexpensive.“

“Homey restaurant with fresh handmade pasta, you can choose the type of pasta and then the sauce, they have good desserts and a good cappuccino, the atmosphere is very nice and the service is very good, it is a good place to go with your family and partner“

“Full disclosure, i am a meat eater, but really love the vegetarian/vegan options they have here. I just had their vegan taco salad and could not tell it did not contain meat. It was delicious!“

“my mom my uncle my son and I love the Wednesday night pasta night!“

“We dropped in for breakfast. The coffee was great and the various pastries and pies. Everything has amazing. We ordered Spinach turnover, cheese danish, egg avocado cheese Sandwich, beef salami and leak and Parma jam turnover, almond raspberry pie croissant.

Service was fast and efficient

We recommend the Black Pearl.“

“Best-value and best tasting coffee offered around campus/town - an important accolade when even the campus-run outlets are draining bank accounts for very basic offerings. Important for new or unfamiliar campus staff to know that all are welcome, even though it is in the basement of the "Campus Club" building.“

“Sinceramente, la mejor tortilla de harina que he comido en trenton, personal muy amable, el restaurante es pequeño, pero el sabor es grande, usualmente los tacos de azada son muy buenos ya que la calidad de la carne es muy buena, los helados y granizadas son muy buenos, todo a un buen precio. Sugiero siempre llamar para ordenar ya que tienen muy poco personal.“

“Great food, terrific service.“

“This coffee shop is amazing! The owner is wonderful. She recently came to our apartment at The Parc at Princeton Junction for a wine and truffle tasting for Valentine’s Day and it was a fabulous event. So my boyfriend and I decided to stop by her coffee shop and try it out and was I blown away! The coffee was absolutely wonderful! The atmosphere is amazing! If you are ever in the Princeton area I highly recommend this coffee shop!“

“Very friendly and kind staff. I've always had good drinks and food here, and everything being made fresh there is very evident. We especially like the Vietnamese salted coffee.“

“Wood Craft catered an event at Princeton during reunions and it was fantastic. I had pulled pork, ribs, chicken, and mac n cheese. Fantastic, tasty, tender. I took their card and hope to get my department at work to order from them.“

“Truly unique and amazing. I cannot overstate how fortunate I am to have such a wonderful chef (a true artist!) so near. I have tried so many things on the menu (breakfast, lunch, & dinner) and always just wonderful. Thank you Chef Christine!!!!!“

“Came here with my girlfriend as we are trying breakfast sandwiches in the area and I was pleasantly surprised. The sandwiches are the best we've had in the area. Everything was freshly made and with real ingredients. The bacon in particular was obviously just cooked for the order. The roll was fresh and everything was well seasoned. Overall, I highly recommend!“

“Excellent place to get good food fast. Staff is polite and remembered my name after my first visit.“

“Was starting my night as Lyft driver and needed a mental and physical break from the day. Found this gem in the heart of Trenton and was pleasantly surprised at the location, amount of parking on the street right In front of the establishment and the overall ease to find the place. When you enter the place is clean and inviting. Love the black and white theme going on. The place is clean and well cared for. Tables are clean and plenty of sitting. If you want to watch the world go by in this busy Trenton street you can sit at one of few laces by the oversized store front windows. With foot traffic and car traffic going by as you’re in a nice relaxing place with nice music (not too loud or quiet) the smell of coffee or whatever the kitchen is cooking up in the back. (Not overpowering or overwhelming smell) and just enjoy your treat or coffee. I had the latte and it was delicious and perfect temp. Paired with chocolate croissant warmed up. Staff is polite and kind. I sat down they brought I me the croissant and coffee. Also noticed how they would ask the other customers to sit as they with a smile on their face bring out the food or drinks. If in the are will stop by again for lunch or something savory. Greet menu and nicely priced items. WiFi available and cool designed bathroom that clean and modern to go with the theme of the place. Love the lighting in the shop! 5 stars do recommend! Would be a really cool time if it was raining outside and I was in here doing my work or just relaxing watching the busy world outside hastily move about the sidewalks and roads! Thanks for the lofi coffee shop feel and vibes!✌????????“

“Sat outside, upstairs rooftop. It was lovely. Service was attentive but not overbearing Both had tuna appetizer- nice portion, tuna was fresh. We also ordered the sea scallops and bolognese. Both excellent and nice portions. Too full for dessert. Hidden Gem - will go back“

“The crepes taste good and are reasonably priced for a shop in Princeton.“

“I have eaten Panera countless times, but today, I had the best salad of my entire life. No exaggeration. Whoever made this masterpiece of flavors and textures deserves a raise, a trophy, and a lifetime supply of accolades. I couldn’t just enjoy my meal and walk away in silence—I had to go up to the front desk and let them know.

When I told the cashier how incredible my salad was, she smiled and said, “the guy who made it is new.” Well, let me tell you something—Avery may be new, but he is destined for greatness. This salad wasn’t just food; it was a carefully orchestrated symphony of flavors. Every ingredient was perfectly balanced, the portions were spot on, and it felt like every bite was made with intention. This wasn’t just someone tossing things together—it was someone who cares about the experience they’re creating.

Panera, if you’re listening: KEEP AVERY. Protect him at all costs. Give him the credit he deserves because talent like this doesn’t come around often.

If you’re reading this review and wondering if you should order a salad from this Panera—first ask if Avery is on the line, if he is— you’re in for something special.“

“Horrible what you did to Fame! Bad business practice and I will never step foot in your establishment.“

“Great meals and great time“

“Very clean, great service, great food and the best bagels! what else an you ask for in a bagels store?“
