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 went there for breakfast on a Thursday morning. The croque madame was perfection! Great service, good vibe. Be aware that you have to pay for each cup of coffee (vs. getting free refills, which is typical for breakfast service at most restaurants). The upside is the coffee is fantastic and relatively inexpensive for NYC.“

““Had a really great experience at Tartinery Café near Columbus Circle. The atmosphere was calm and relaxing, perfect for brunch and enjoying the city vibe.

The Roast Beef Tartine was fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. Great coffee, friendly service, and an overall very enjoyable spot in New York. Definitely a place we’d love to visit again.”“

“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!“

“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!“

“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!“

“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.“

“amazing hot chocolate and cakes. i am not sure the wait to sit in is worth it though as i felt a little rushed. but to take away you wont be dissapointed.“

“Great coffee, great atmosphere and great service. The barista was very friendly and authentic. They had everything I love in a coffee shop; computer charging areas, all different types of coffee from espresso to drip to cold brew. Cold brew was smooth and flavorful. She talked me into the croissant and it was worth it! She’s say it’s baked fresh and it tasted like it. Thanks for the great experience.“

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

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

“Wonderful, caring staff(Grand Central Station)“

“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 decided to try a new coffee spot today and walked into Tenpa’s. I ordered a 16oz iced latte with almond milk and raspberry flavoring. I should’ve taken a picture before I mixed it all up because it was pretty and layered. The raspberry flavoring isn’t very strong, but the quality of the coffee is REALLY good. You can tell it’s good just by the color of it, that perfect toasty brown. Not too milky :)
These guys are fast and efficient! Don’t be worried about a line because it’s moving FAST. The employees are nice and pleasant and everyone’s smiling. There’s definitely regulars that go in because the person making the drinks was calling out their orders before they even ordered them lol the pastries looked delicious so I’ll be ordering one next time I go in. There’s some nice seating and looks like people enjoy going in there to work. I was in and out of there in less than 5min. Looking forward to another visit :)“

“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!!!“

“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!“

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

“Went with wife and father. Wife had the Golden Cloud cold coffee was outstanding. I had the latte the flavor and temperature were perfect. My father had the Americano he said it was really good. My father and I had the Madeline which was excellent. The server was really efficient and friendly. The place is immaculately clean. If you want a relaxed place to drink coffee, this is a great place!
Highly recommend.“

“Had a great experience at Toast x Bowl! I ordered the Sweet & Spicy Chicken Sandwich, and it was absolutely fire. The chicken was juicy, flavorful, and had the perfect balance of sweet and spicy. I also tried the Passion Fruit Pear Fizz, which was super refreshing and paired really well with the meal. We also shared the shrimp rice bowl and truffle fries, and both were just as delicious.

The restaurant was clean, cozy, and had a really nice atmosphere. The staff were friendly, and everything came out fresh and looked amazing. You can tell they care about the quality of the food.

Definitely one of my favorite spots in Hoboken now. I’ll definitely be back to try more of the menu. Highly recommend!“

“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!“

“There are places you go… and then there are places you experience. ETERI is the latter.

From the moment you walk in, you feel it—the design, the energy, the attention to every detail. It’s one of those rare spaces where everything just works. Effortless, elevated, and incredibly inviting.

The coffee? Best best best.
The Coquito? Non-negotiable. Get it!!

But what really makes ETERI stand out is that nothing feels random. From the design to the service, everything is top notch. It’s curated, intentional, and done with a level of care you don’t come across often.

Whether you live there or you’re just visiting, this isn’t just a stop—it’s a place you’ll want to come back to again and again.

My girlfriends and I visited and stayed in that area for 4 days and went there everyday for coffee. People who live there are so lucky!“

“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!“

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

“This spot hit every time!!!! The chicken sandwich is AMAZING!! with a nice cold fresh pineapple juice. Got the Bori vibes! I dont usually leave reviews but I HAD TO !! Thank u for the amazing customer service you guys are all super friendly! When im in hackensack ill def stop here again!“

“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.“

“Beautiful array of pastries“

“Awesome spot for a quick bite and inviting to stay and relax - great cookies and the the espresso was 👌“

“The B E S T ! Go support (.)“

“I’ve never seen so many gluten free options before! I came here with my friend who is gluten free and it was like she was a kid in a candy store. She was beyond happy and I had the gluten free cake pops which were amazing! The people working are so beyond sweet too!! Highly recommend!!“

“First time sitting and having a meal here and it was a mixed bag. I had always wanted to try the Lumberjack which I got and it is actually way lighter than I expected. It satisfied my sweet and savory cravings in one and the cruller was delightful as always. My mom had ordered the Beet & Quinoa salad, they were out of beet which they replaced with avocado. And my dad got the chickpea veggie sandwich. Both classic café meals but nothing exceptional and pricey for what you are getting. Lastly, the cold brew was okay would not get again.“

“Fantastic experience! The coffee was rich and perfectly made, and the desserts were absolutely delicious—especially the tiramisu and the variety of fresh pastries and Turkish delights. Everything looked beautiful and tasted even better.

The place is clean, welcoming, and full of great options, from breakfast items to sweets and drinks. You can tell they take pride in quality and presentation.

Highly recommend stopping by if you’re looking for great coffee, fresh baked goods, and friendly service. We will definitely be back!“

“Madam Bonte is a hidden gem! The coffee is my favorite in the city (and they make their own oatmilk)! The atmosphere is calm and serene- upstairs is great for doing work and downstairs is huge has a beautiful little garden. The food is delicious! Highly recommend - is my favorite nyc coffee shop!“

“Fort Lee is lucky to have this gem! Easily one of our most frequented places. So many delicious options to choose from for a quick yet healthy meal or specialty coffee and sweets. What really sets Mochi Mochi Cafe apart are the owners. They are incredibly friendly, welcoming, and genuinely appreciative of their customers. Highly recommend!“

“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.“

“The best of the best pasta place. And you MUST try the jambalaya!!! The vibe was amazing and the staff were incredibly kind and welcoming. Great food at very reasonable prices — honestly the best value for what you get. Left completely satisfied. 10/10, will definitely be back!“

“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“

“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!!!!“

“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“

“I’ve been here a couple times before and the staff has always been very friendly and nice. Their pastries are good and so are their non coffee drinks. The music isn’t too loud and gives it a nice atmosphere to chat with your friends or study. I need to come here more often!!“

“Convenient life, beautiful night scene.“

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

“My name is adam Muhammad I from Denton Texas in USA I am Muslim me and my family live in Paterson New Jersey“

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

“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“

“I have to say that everything I have had so far was just delicious! Staff is super friendly and they are very thoughtful. Love the ginger shots too. I recommend the Burrata, Spicy Crab, and Avocado Smash.“
