“I'd like to take a moment to recognize the *outstanding service* of this locally owned cafe. We have been in contact with the owner, Chris, to help us send nutritious treats (the most delicious smoothies in town!) to the heroes on the front line of this unfortunate pandemic at Saint Barnabas Hospital. My father's been fighting COVID and due to appropriate hospital regulations, we have not been able to visit him - the incredible doctors, nurses, respiratory therapists, technicians, and support staff have been faced with not only caring for patients but being their bedside cheerleaders. I've gotten feedback from the nurses that the smoothies are a huge hit! Not only are they tasty, but they are extremely nutritious! There's a huge variety to choose from and the mechanism for ordering/delivering was so easy (they even attached personalized notes from us!) that we've utilized their services several times to help treat the hospital heroes. Also, of note, is their special attention to sanitary mechanisms as they prepare food/smoothies during this scary time. *The cafe has donated a tremendous amount to the hospital heroes as well, and for that, they must be commended and supported during this difficult time for local businesses.“

“Domenick & John—

We stopped in for a late breakfast/early lunch today, and it reminded us why we keep coming back. The food was wonderful, but what truly stood out was the staff. Every single person was warm, welcoming, and genuinely friendly—not just to us, but to everyone who walked through the door. It's rare to see a team that consistently makes every guest feel so appreciated.

We've visited many times for coffee and takeout, but after dining in today, we felt it was important to let the owners know what an exceptional team they have. Great service like this deserves to be recognized.

We will definitely be at a future dinner pop-up!

Thank you for creating such a welcoming place. It's businesses like this that keep people coming back, and we'll definitely continue to be regulars.
