Cafes near Lawrenceville

“Amazing, high quality matcha made fresh on site every day. I was so impressed by this place. It’s a no-frills cafe, but great to sit and relax or grab your drink to-go. I got the iced strawberry matcha, you can tell it’s fresh-made strawberry purée and the matcha tasted amazing. Highly recommend!“

“Great service 99% accuracy but will fix their mistakes if its iced instead of hot. They'll will let you keep the mistake if you want. No complaints. One of the best Starbucks I been too. Mercer mall princeton market fare and downtown trenton are my others I love but not close to Quaker bridge mall.“

“My husband and I chose Blawenburg Bistro as our caterer for our wedding in July 2026, and we couldn’t have made a better choice!

We worked with Jenn throughout the entire process, and she was nothing short of amazing. She made everything feel so smooth and stress-free, and her attention to detail was incredible. She was also incredibly accommodating to our guests with food allergies, making sure everyone had delicious options and felt included and cared for.

And the food… INCREDIBLE! Every dish was fresh, beautifully presented, and absolutely delicious. Our guests truly felt spoiled, and we received so many compliments about the food. Everyone left happy, satisfied, and with very full stomachs!

We are so grateful to Jenn and the entire Blawenburg Bistro team for helping make our wedding day so special. I highly recommend Blawenburg Bistro for any catering needs!

My husband and I will definitely be visiting the bistro for special date nights in the future. ❤“

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

“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.“

“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.“

“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.“

“Great service, very good quality of food“

“It’s almost always busy and crowded, so you need to find the right time to go if you plan to sit in. I love their selection of baked goods and always have a hard time choosing what to get. The scallion and cheddar scone is really delicious and I liked the spiced apple danish too. Their mocha, hot drinks and brunch items give you lots of tasty options to choose from.“

“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.“

“Great place! Coffee is amazing and their matcha drinks are the best. If you’re ever craving something cold and fresh that’s the place to go’“

“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!“

“Had a wonderful experience at The Coffee Club. The ordering process was smooth and efficient, and the menu offers a nice variety of drinks and light bites to choose from.

The coffee was well-made and flavorful, and the overall atmosphere was relaxed and welcoming. It's perfect for catching up with friends or getting some work done. Seating was comfortable, and the space felt clean and well-maintained.

Service was friendly and attentive, which really added to the experience.“

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

“Great food and fast friendly service!!“

“We highly recommend the Italian hot dogs. Absolutely delicious. Just like Tony Go’s from Trenton and Hamilton. You must give them a try! You won’t be disappointed.“

“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!“

“Want a great Philly Cheesesteak? Look no further than Fame Good Eats. Moe, one of the chef owners, operated a cheesesteak shop in Philadelphia until he decided to join his father at Fame. The cheesesteak pictured in this review is half of a 10 inch hoagie. Moe recommended that my brother and I split it as it is made with 1 pound of prime rib eye. Cooper cheddar and onions were blended generously into the meat. He also buttered the roll with garlic butter. It was a truly outstanding Philly cheesesteak.“

“Came in primarily to try their wings - they did not disappoint! If you like crispy wings smothered in buttery buffalo sauce, this is your place. The chicken tenders and hand cut fries were also very tasty. Next time I’d pass on the hamburger and grilled chicken. Maybe the Kaiser roll is too much bread for the amount of meat but the taste just wasn’t just there.“

“awesome food and great service!“

“Charming little cafe with excellent food and service 😊“

“Good food“

“Great Food. Great Staff. Highly recommended“

“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!“

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

“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.“

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

“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.“

“Food , service , ambiance was wonderful .“

“After a long and frustrating trip, the last thing I wanted to do was get back in the car and drive to get food. I order a glass of red wine which the waitress generous filled. I decided after staring the menu for a while on the hummas and pita. The hummas was really good and the pitas were nice and warm. I was pleasantly surprised by how good it was.“

“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.“

“This cafe is soooo cute. The food was delish. The coffee is better than any coffee I’ve had. Sarah, the manager, was so sweet and so accommodating when we came in. I highly recommend this place whether it’s for a quick bite to eat, or meeting with co workers or anything in between. 10/10 recommend and will be back for sure!“

“What a lucky find! I had the most delightful, relaxing experience at this cozy, friendly, quaint coffee shop!

I enjoyed a lovely chat with Manager Bri, who was super helpful and personable. The menu was much more exciting than a typical coffee shop & offered great breakfast, brunch and lunch food and drink options.

Loved the fun decor, expansive community bulletin board, support for local artists and craftsman, and info on local nature walks and attractions.

I’ll surely be back every Saturday while I’m on Mommy-Uber duty in the Montgomery/Hopewell area! Look forward to trying their famous frittatas next time.

We enjoyed the latte, breakfast tacos with hot sauce & the mixed green salad!“

“This little coffee/sandwich shop is a gem!! Everything is handmade and fresh. The service is excellent. And the coffee is perfect!! The cortado was 💯 perfect. Couldn't ask for more!!
The location is hidden in plain sight: right on a corner, nestled between the firehouse and residential neighborhood, and just above the train corridor. You could easily hum right past it and never know! But, don't! It's a wonderful spot.
Everything is clean and neat, the interior is modern and comfortable, and if you're lucky, you can snag a spot on the front porch--classic antique cast iron and all!!!“

“I came across Palo de Azucar while I was in Trenton on business. I was looking for a spot where they sold not only quality coffee, but tasty brunch as well. If you're interested or already enjoy Spanish food, this is the place! The quality of coffee did not disappoint, but what stood out most of all was the food. I ordered a Dirty Chai Latte with Oat Milk and a California burger, simply delicious (ask for it cooked at a lower temperature if you like medium!) My mother ordered from the International Treats, and this is by far what took the spotlight for us. We had the Beef Colombian Empanadas and were beyond impressed, from the freshness of the food all the way to each and every flavor of the well-seasoned beef. The empanadas are crunchy/crispy on the outside, and every ingredient on the inside is hot flavorful. The Alcapurrias were a show stopper as well, the outside being fried Yucca and the inside beef. The service was quick, the atmosphere was warm and welcoming, and the prices were comfortable and fair. May God bless and prosper this small business here in Trenton, and may our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ continue to guide them with the splendor of His light through it all!“

“Owners and staff are all so kind and genuine. The food is incredible, the restaurant is spotless. It is truly family there. love Liz Lisa and Alex“

“Last night was our first time at Pastiamo's and our experience was fantastic from start to finish! The food was absolutely delicious -- Burrata, Gnocchi Pesto, Penne with Walnut Sauce and Rigatoni Ragu were especially everyone's favorites. The staff was polite, attentive, and so patient, even when we stayed past closing time. Thank you, Francesca and team for making our night so special. I highly recommend this restaurant, and our family will definitely be back!“

“Joined the waitlist prior to arriving worked out perfectly. Only waited about 5 mins when we arrived. Staff was very nice. In addition to our waiter multiple staff members checked in on us to see if we needed anything. I had the lobster shrimp and grits. It was delicious. I will definitely be going back.“

“when i walked in i was genuinely shocked. the place is amazing it’s like 3 different restaurants in one. dessert, spanish, and italian. the atmosphere is also amazing. out back is very clean with beautiful furniture. this isn’t even all of it. seriously guys. shout to tony man. a real cool guy

Kid-friendliness: ice cream and cookies? that’s all i gotta say.“

“What a truly wonderful experience it was coming here. This nice young lady that works there was very polite. There was a bit of traffic building up in there behind me, but she was very patient with me as I surely took quite a while to order a few things for my family members. Everything was clean, and freshly organized. She even made sure to reassure me that the utensils were all cleaned properly because I tend to get a bit skeptical due to the possibility of cross contamination. The ice cream quality was great! Much better than most other places in this area. I never asked for that young lady’s name but she wore a lot of bracelets, and had black nails just like my daughter, which I complemented! I will be back in here for sure!

Will recommend this place for all ice cream lovers!“
