50 Best Cafes near Lodi

“What a cozy little place and delicious fresh breakfast and brunch .“

“Great place to chill� and enjoy the lovely autumn weather this time of the year! Love This place“

“I was traveling for my studies, and it was incredible for the time I spent here. Our bartender was Frank, a great person. I won't forget him. This place is perfect for disconnecting and getting a good meal. Without a doubt, I'll be back on my next trip.“

“We absolutely love the Kurly Kurdish shop. I had a Kurly kone with cherry vanilla ice cream. This is the best sweet treat. I recommend everyone stop in and try one!“

“This cafe is so lovely. I had the pleasure of Desi and Aida assisting me with my order. They made the most delicious soy chai with amazing foam. Their desserts were amazing as well. It was refreshing to be greeted with such positive and friendly energy in New York. I can't wait to come back when I am in the area. Make sure to come to this cafe if you want a lovely experience and great food and drinks!“

“Le Café Louis Vuitton was the perfect way to close out my wedding weekend. I got married on Saturday, and the only reservation I could secure was Sunday dinner for two—so I celebrated with my sister, and honestly, I couldn’t have asked for a more memorable experience. Hopefully I’ll be back with the hubby soon!

We did the Culinary Journey menu, which started with a beautiful amuse-bouche: a warm soup served with the LV monogram. It was delicious, comforting, and surprisingly homey. It was such an inviting way to begin the meal. Drinks were ok—we got the lychee highball and passion twist.

Our server recommended the ravioli, and I’m so glad we listened. The mushroom and truffle flavors were bold and earthy in the best way (exactly how I like them), making it a standout course. The ceviche was more of a refreshing palate cleanser—light, bright, and tasty.

For mains, both the chicken and filet mignon were great. The chicken had an incredible sauce and perfectly crispy skin. The filet mignon was absolutely delicious and cooked beautifully, tender and flavorful throughout.

The complimentary sides truly stole the show. I would order the broccolini with its subtle hint of heat and the mashed potatoes again and again—they were SO good and easily some of the best parts of the meal.

Dessert was indulgent. The chocolate entremet was rich but not overly sweet, while the hazelnut entremet tasted just like a Ferrero Rocher—decadent, nostalgic, and satisfying.

To make the night even more special, we were surprised with complimentary chocolates and a small vanilla treat in celebration of my wedding, which was such a thoughtful and personal touch.

From the food to the service, everything felt intentional and celebratory. Le Café LV delivered not just an exceptional meal, but a genuinely joyful experience—one I’ll always associate with a very special moment in my life. 💍✨

03/13/26 Update: Returned for dinner and had another 10/10 experience! The service is incredibly consistent and just as attentive as the first time.

We did the Culinary Journey again—Crab Louis, Black Bass, and the Chocolate Monogram to finish. The amuse-bouche and sides were once again a hit and really set the tone for the meal.

For drinks, the Capucine Twist was excellent and I’d definitely recommend it over the Highball.

Always a great experience here. Can’t wait to try breakfast/afternoon tea!“

“Great coffee, great pastries, great man. Sam is the nicest man there is. He invited me to come eat in his own home. His wife's homemade pastries are the best!“

“Delicious crepe and latte! Wonderful staff. Would definitely return to try some Turkish treats.“

“Vale’s Kafe & Kitchen is a hidden gem in Union City. The atmosphere is cozy and charming, like you’re visiting a friend. The service is professional and attentive. The food … oh so good! Clean and flavorful. The portions are just right, not outrageous. The coffee is also very good. The only setback I see is the entrance is not
accessible. I would suggest a ramp for those customers that have difficulty walking up/down steps. Also hours could be extended, say to include dinner on the weekend (Fri/Sat). Otherwise a must see.“

“We're heading to a show at Rose Theater and wanted a quick bite and a glass of wine. Tartinery was perfect! They seated us in a reasonable time, no reservation needed and the food was delicious. The wait staff was attentive and friendly. The wine French and yummy. Highly recommend!“

“Really happy to find that place! Great real coffee and very friendly staff.“

“I read their amazing reviews, I had to add me 2 cents. Definitely try their French toast. Brings back my memories of being a kid, and filling as f...... Great for breakfast, lunch or dinner!!!“

“Wonderful, caring staff(Grand Central Station)“

“The vibe here is so cozy warm and friendly, but it's not the best for settling in and getting work done due to their 90 min policy.

The cafe is spacious and the drinks and pastries are delicious. I wanted to try the famous pistachio croissant but they were out at 2pm! So I got the pistachio muffin on my guy's rec. It's filled with pistachio butter. So delicious, pistachio lover's dream. Their hot chocolate is really rich and chocolatey too, not watery at all.

As for service, the reviews about wanting to be the baristas' best friend are accurate, they are very kind and caring people. The guy who took my order thoughtfully toasted my muffin without me even asking!“

“Awesome design! Friendly atmosphere! BUREKASIM!“

“Benjamin was truly the best of the best. He greeted me with a warm smile and was very patient, even taking my orders with care. He really was the real deal. He served me hot chocolate and a croissant, and he even gave me a cup to enjoy the rest of my chocolate on the go. I’ll definitely come back again because of the top-tier service he provided. Bravo, Tartinery!“

“I've been to a lot of coffee shops in my life, and this is my favorite. The coffee is good, the service is super fast, and the employees are genuinely nice people.

But what really makes this place special is that it actually feels like a local community spot. There currently are only three people I've ever seen working behind the counter, and it was special to watch them expand from their tiny shop to a larger location.

So many coffee shops feel soulless, but this place is different...You can really tell they care about what they've built here. The design seems so thoughtful – there are these cute cartoon animals on the walls, and Tenz told me they put them there specifically so babies in strollers have something to look at while their parents wait in line. I feel lucky to live near a shop that so much care has been put into!“

“Awesome little spot, would highly recommend. Literally tasted like it was home cooking. The everything bagel with lox was great, but the chicken with rice and beans was my favorite. Chicken was fall off the bone tender and melted in my mouth, with a kick of flavor from house-made salsa verde and some heat for good measure. I was also surprised that such a small place had amazing coffee as well. I only wish I had a bigger appetite that day so I could have had the ruben sandwich! Looking forward to coming again. Yaseen is an amazing owner!“

“I absolutely loved this place!! I gifted a box of mini croffles to my friend to share with others and she said they tasted amazing. Perfect for my friend’s sweet tooth. I also ordered the injeolmi croffle for myself and this place might be my new fav cafe in New Jersey!!“

“We stumbled upon this coffee shop and what an incredible find!! Not only is it super cute inside with comfortable seating but the service was out of this world. Andrew was very welcoming and then made the best drinks we have ever had. I got an Eva Latte Special and my partner got strawberry smoothie - and both were 10/10. Everything was absolutely delicious!“

“Had a book club meet up with my friends and we definitely enjoyed ourselves. The music was nice but not too loud. The drinks were great, I ordered the milo latter with coffee and was delicious. I want to go back to try the coquito latte! I also had a arepa de yuca with cheese on top it was so good! The staff is awesome! Definitely coming back!“

“Excellent coffee and best cookies in the city! Baristas know what they’re doing, service is quick, and single origin specialty coffee is a bonus!“

“Great coffee and baristas, but the screen free zone downstairs during the day is unnecessary when completely empty on most days. Do a time limit if you're concerned about turnover/dining or minimum spend. Would be great to have Turkish coffee back or a pour over option as well.“

“Very glad we found this place. Nice ambiance and delicious food“

“Sweet Jean’s has great coffee, great gluten-free wrap options (make sure to specify you want the gluten free option), and a great team! I have also catered from Sweet Jean’s and they do a great job recommending options and accommodating dietary restrictions. I’m so happy to have them in the community“

“Really fantastic local cafe. You can tell a lot of thought was put into the design and making it welcoming to casual visitors as well as people searching for a refuge to get some work done. I also like that it's a pure coffee shop. Some baked goods but a pure experience that focuses on atmosphere and quality.“

“Toast & Bowl is a hidden gem! The Bulgogi Rice is packed with flavor — tender, perfectly marinated beef over warm rice that’s both comforting and satisfying. The Popcorn Chicken is crispy on the outside, juicy on the inside, and seasoned just right — seriously addictive. And the Sweet & Spicy Sandwich is the perfect balance of heat and sweetness, with a delicious crunch in every bite. Everything tastes fresh and well-made. Definitely coming back for more!“

“I really like this place, and the one-star reduction is definitely not related to the business or the staff. However, at times the inside becomes quite noisy. During my recent visits, there has been a group of people talking and laughing very loudly, and children running and screaming, which makes it hard to enjoy the space.

I kindly ask the owner to consider taking some measures regarding this, as many people come here to enjoy a quiet coffee, work on their laptops, or simply relax. Unfortunately, because of the noise, I often feel the need to leave early.“

“I Love the Glorious Juice! So refreshing and good for me!!“

“The B E S T ! Go support (.)“

“Beautiful array of pastries“

“Lovely atmosphere and did my breakie the way this Australia gal likes it. Hope the new location does well!“

“Daily Provisions consistently serves the best sandwiches in the city. This location, near the museum, is my go to after a run. The chicken Milanese dipped in their tomato soup is my favorite (the olive oil makes the difference), paired with a side of fried potatoes.

If you want something simpler, their tuna melt is pretty decent, though the majority of customers (7 out of 10) opt for the chicken Milanese.

The wait is minimal, ample seating, and this location is noticeably more spacious (and less stuffy) than their Union Square outpost.“

“Albert’s’s has been a go to favorite for many years and Albert is an excellent host. The food never disappoints and the service is always great. I recommend Albert’s HoHokus whole heartedly.“

“Just bought empanadas and rice at the Pearl River farmers market. So delicious!“

“We ordered red bean croffle and ear grey tiramisu. The good thing are: the croffle was made fresh and wasn't sweet, so does the tiramisu. The issue wit earl grey tiramisu I don't really get that earl grey that much.

We also ordered yuzu greet tea and matcha latte. They was ok. Not a big place so during weekend not much place to sit. Service the lady on the counter just ignored me while standing there for 5 min until I called out. ....not very friendly experience“

“We are visiting from Miami and stumbled upon this hidden gem. We ordered blueberry pancakes , 2 egg platers and a breakfast sandwich and everything was a 10/10. I got myself a mushroom coffee which was interesting , very good as well. The place is small and homey. The staff was very kind and welcoming. They have a variety of options on the menu & they even have vegan protein powder to make shakes. The hash browns and eggs were delicious and were not greasy at all. Fast service . If you are looking for some good breakfast or quick sandwich / wrap / smoothies check them out .“

“My favorite spot to work & eat in Jersey City Heights.“

“Been eating here for years, the Cuban Sandwhich is best I’ve had anywhere. They have bakery section with top notch tres leche in multiple flavors if you can get there before they sell it out. Great atmosphere, great friendly service and very respectable prices. I love it here“

“Chef Diana is a wizard! We had her over for an intimate private dinner and she amazed us with a beautifully thought out 8-course dinner. I am gluten free and she accommodated my allergy so well! She made everything gluten free and even did some special truffle puffs that were mouth watering! We will definitely be working with Chef Diana again!!!“

“Convenient life, beautiful night scene.“

“Great service and food! Love their breakfast wrap! Lots of vegetarian options ❤️“

“I <3 Blank Slate! My NYC office is down one block but even if it weren't, I would go out of the way to get here! I only come to the city once every couple of months and they always remember me! Way to make someone feel welcome in the city!“

“Such a pretty place. I felt so welcome here ☺️ the dessert display so yummy. The desserts are delicious. Owner very nice 👌 👍 I would definitely come back. Such a tranquil and serene atmosphere. Parking is very accessible. A hidden gem so worth your trip. Everyone must try this great little cafe.“

“My first time trying them was amazing, my aunt, cousins along with myself did a coffee tasting there and everything was great!! I had the FFF (Triple F) with a HEC on brioche 🔥! Service was exceptional as well, definitely a comeback whenever I’m in NJ again“

“Saw this place called Mr.Waffles. Looked appetizing so I checked it out. Omg freaking amazing. Have to check out their full menu of waffles & juices. I ordered the Waffles 4 in 1 Pistachio Nutella, white chocolate, kinder bueno, fruit as you can see from the photo looked & tasted amazing!!!!“

“best coffee shop in Manhattan 😊“

“We love this cafe. Coffee is amazing. Recommend the egg sandwiches, scones and heavenly croissants. You will not be disappointed ❤️“

“Vanilla Cinnamon Latte from Muse on Valley Brook Ave in Lyndhurst. This coffee shop is a hidden gem. Quaint little place to read a book, do some work in their comfy area with great music and good vibes. — drinking coffee at Muse Coffee Company. — at Muse Coffee Company.“
