“You know, when this place first opened, it wasn't all that great – from customer service to getting the orders right and having enough bakery stuff in stock, it was a bit of a mess. But things have really turned around, and I can tell 'cause I'm a regular here. I'm glad they switched up their team. Nowadays, everyone's super friendly, and they've got their act together. Orders come out right, and they've got plenty of goodies on hand, so they don't run out too quick.

But the best part? I gotta give a big shoutout to one of their crew members. Like I said, I'm a regular, and a few months back, I was having a seriously rough week. I hit the drive-thru for some coffee to lift my spirits, and the barista taking my order noticed I wasn't my usual self. He asked how I was doing, and for some reason, that question hit me hard, and I just started bawling my eyes out. It was kinda embarrassing 'cause it came outta nowhere, and I was feeling super overwhelmed that day – didn't even have the energy to hide it. But this guy, Waleeb, he was a champ. He was so polite, friendly, and just real, you know? He dashed off and got me a cake pop, jotted down a sweet note on the bag, and his kindness and understanding completely turned my day around from a downer to a upper. I'll never forget that. And now, every time I swing by and Waleeb's on shift, he brings this awesome, positive vibe. It makes me feel all warm and welcome, and that's what customer service should be all about. Seriously, Waleeb deserves a raise for being such a star at customer service.“

“Zanasia was very sweet“

“Best taylor ham egg & cheese in NJ!!!!!“

“I’m a repeat customer here. Today I went in to get a cake and kavin the owner was there. I had an odd request. My kids love the chocolate coins they use to decorate the cake. I asked if I was able to purchase them. They are not something they sell but he let me have one for each of my boys. It was so kind and generous. Alba helped check me out And the man working whose name it I did not get got me my cake and the chocolate coins. They made my boys day. Thank you!!!“

“Just came for a quick coffee break and ended up loving this place! Quiet, clean, spacious, and aesthetic cafe. Delicious bakery items (recommend the raisin pastry and chocolate croissant!) and coffee. Really lovely service! Plus, they display the train schedule on a TV so it's perfect for chilling while you wait for your train. And pastries are 50% off past 4pm :)“

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

“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! ❤️“

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

“We went here for coffee ☕️on a Sunday morning. The shop is nicely decorated, it has a rustic tone 🐮 to it. There's a high counter at the window, a long booth type seat against one wall with some tables, some cozy chairs scattered around, and a couple of free-standing tables. There was plenty of seating available when we arrived.
Like I said we ordered coffee. The food 🥐🍪🍰 displayed looked delicious but we didn't have anything, I was pleasantly surprised to see some gluten-free options 😋 It was also very nice that after we ordered and sat down when our coffee was ready they brought it to our table.
The coffee was decent. I give it one mug out of two.
The one thing I should point out if you're not from the area, parking is not always easy. There is street parking and public parking lots but they do fill up fast and most days you have to pay for parking. Be prepared to walk, pleasantly surprised if you get close parking and allow yourself time to walk there.“

“Highly recommend Lidios for all of your floral needs! Maria put some beautiful arrangements together for me for multiple events, and her work is truly spectacular! The flowers always have guests talking and always add a special touch. 💐🎉“

“If you’re in the Montville/Boonton area, you’ve got to check out Howards mediterranean Café and Bagels — absolutely top-notch! Not only is the food legit, but the owner Karim went above and beyond to support us during our soft opening at Montville Pickleball & Golf Club. Much love to him for the hookup“

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

“Beautiful hidden gem! My latte was amazing and the atmosphere & vibe is out of this world! You’ve got to stop in today if you haven’t been yet! I got the salted honey latte with oat milk. It was such a treat & then I enjoyed it in the library lounge. I also scored a pair of beautiful earrings from their gift shop 💛⭐️🌙✨⚡️“

“Enjoyed the best coffee and pumpkin bread in this lovely coffee shop run by a fantastic staff!“

“This is my favorite cafe!! Every barista is so cool, I love the atmosphere when I come to do work here, and the coffee is delicious. The consistency is the same no matter who makes my drink and I love that! The prices are totally reasonable and the selection is perfect. I love the seasonal beverage options. 10/10 love you, eagle rock cafe! ♡“

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

“Finally, I hit this spot after getting a recommendation for years. Even though I'm not a fan of their hot chocolate, I'm satisfied with their pastries. Especially, the brownies are phenomenal and becoming my reason to revisit. Unfortunately, I didn't have any pictures of the brownies cuz I couldn't wait to have them right away lol... They are sold in 2 different packs (4 full ones and 6 half ones)“

“Our server Jose was great. Food was delicious, fresh and substantial portions. Highly recommend. Since so popular be prepared to wait on the weekends but well worth it!

Parking: We were lucky enough to get a spot in front of the restaurant as someone was pulling out. There are parking spots throughout that section.“

“Fantastic drip coffee. Delicious cheddar scallion scone.

Close quarters that could be cozy or overbearing depending on time and mood: 3 tables (2 seats each), 2 loungers (tight space in the back), one bench by the entrance.

Definitely will be back for the coffee and pastries!“

“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“

“Delicious coffee, and the staff is lovely!“

“Personally I like there iced teas better than there coffees but I’m picky when it comes to coffee but there breakfast and treats are phenomenal so so good hands down must try the beignets“

“Best ice cream shop in Essex County if not the entire state of NJ. You can taste the difference in quality, creaminess, ingredients, no artificial flavors. Small micro batches made with natural ingredients and real flavors. Great owner and staff. Very nice people who go above and beyond to help create a wonderful experience. Small space but the flavor is large. They are getting ready to launch their second storefront in Lyndhurst. Go check them out. You won’t be disappointed. Favorite flavors include: Strawberry Baklava Chocolate But all are incredibly good!“

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

“Very good coffee and pastries! Happy to have this place in the neighborhood. Hot and cold drink are great and not all sugar etc. Tried the pandan, lavender and caramel and spinach feta pastry all delicious.

Dietary restrictions: They have coconut milk and not all cafes have that choice!“

“Great Mission Amazing Staff. Empowering the Community. Visit Clean Water Café and Support the cause.“

“Wonderful chill vibe, great teas, coffees, and pastries. Demetri and Saska have created a lovely refuge for food, conversation, Music and Art!“

“Shoutout to Lightbulb Coffee Shop! Awesome Iced Coffee with oat milk and a Dirty Chai! We will be back!!“

“I love this place to enjoy a good brunch and a French press coffee.
This place is usually busy; I suggest registering for the online waiting list. (Waiting time: 20-30 min approx.) The service is fast, the place is very warm, clean and the dishes are very well presented.“

“Just ran out of beans, so I made a quick trip to grab a couple fresh bags. The owner told me they now get deliveries every Tuesday—love that! Even better, the beans come from a local roaster, so they’re super fresh. I picked up an Ethiopian Yirgacheffe and another bag specifically for espresso. Just pulled a shot, and it came out amazing.“

“The only place that can give me exactly what I’m looking for when it comes to my coffee!“

“Rankin St. Deli offers delicious, high-quality sandwiches with fresh ingredients and great flavors. Everything is made to order, ensuring a satisfying meal every time. Whether you're a fan of classic sandwiches or looking to try something new, Rankin St. Deli delivers on taste and quality. Highly recommended for a quick, tasty bite!“

“Great Food Excellent Service!“

“7 scoops has the best ice cream and it is reasonably priced! The staff is so friendly and helpful as well. Orla is fantastic! I highly recommend 7 scoops!“

“I recently tried their iced matcha latte and took a chance on the rose syrup and oat milk: it was such a great combination! I saw the baristas whisking which meant a richer and real matcha flavor, which is much appreciated! Would come back and sit next time.“

“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.“
