50 Best Cafes near Maplewood

“I love the look and feel of the store. I love all of the products. The merchants and staff are amazing. I come almost everyday“

“The best vegan cafe when you’re in the mood for a great scone and cup of coffee! They’re lovely people!“

“My friend and I just happened to have stumbled upon this place while visiting a nearby rehab & we completely fell in love with it. The man who served us was super friendly, the overall vibe and decor of the place was so inviting & charming and most importantly, the food was delicious!! I cannot wait to go back there!“

“Best lemon tartlets, perfect balance of flavors 😋“

“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!“

“We stopped by this café for a Saturday morning breakfast. The exterior was charming, which drew us in. Parking is street-only, so it can be tricky on busier days, but we lucked out.

I ordered a cortado—decent, nothing remarkable. I went with the avocado toast, which they’re apparently known for. It was as minimalist as it gets: a slice of ciabatta, olive oil, a generous amount of fresh avocado, salt, and pepper. No frills, but solid and satisfying. My friend had a multigrain croissant with sausage and egg—basic and hearty.

The café is mostly self-service, and while the vibe was relaxed, the service was quite slow. We even cleared our own table from the previous guests. It seemed a bit understaffed, but the food was fresh and filling. A cute local spot, though don’t expect speed or polish.“

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

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

“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 :)“

“Varon is one of my favorite employees. Yesterday he made me some guacamole he was sooooooooooooooooo patient with me lol. Thank you Varon for being so great to meeeeeeeeeeeee.....“

“I had the pleasure of dining at Estime Cafe today, it was an outstanding experience! From the moment we walked in, the customer service was phenomenal, warm, attentive, and truly welcoming. This is the first Haitian restaurant I’ve visited that delivered such impeccable service, and it made all the difference. The atmosphere was inviting, and the food was authentic, flavorful, and beautifully presented. Every dish was prepared with care, bringing out the rich, bold flavors of Haitian cuisine. Whether you’re a longtime fan of Haitian food or trying it for the first time, this place is a must-visit. I highly recommend for anyone looking for a fantastic meal and a top-tier dining experience. My husband and I will definitely be returning!“

“Nice little spot where there's not much else around so its super convenient. Finally stopped by for an iced cold brew and it was really good. Great friendly service, would definitely stop by again. It's a trailer in the parking lot of the Willow Grove church, you can't miss it.

Parking: Church parking lot, free.“

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

“Melanie did an AMAZING job on my sister's Game of Thrones themed couple shower. I had some ideas but she really took what I said and made my ideas into something more. Not only did everything look great, the desserts tasted wonderful too. I highly recommend her and Jamm Events and will use her again.“

“The B E S T ! Go support (.)“

“seriously the best cuban restaurant in jersey. omg 😲 👌😍😋😋😋“

“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. 💐🎉“

“Simple, unpretentious, affordable, excellent. What more can I say. Everything is fresh with that homemade taste and quality. Their tres leches cake is out of this world, the crepes made by David are delicious, Lily was very patient, understanding my order, she has amazing customer service skills! Great service and atmosphere! 100% satisfied.“

“For a few years, this has been my go to spot when I'm in the Ironbound. Cool vibe and ambiance. Hit or miss on portion sizes. A very notable change over the years. The bacon side is way too small (two skinny slices). The avocado toast has significantly decreased in size but at the same price point, and it's often more cream cheese than avocado most times. Yet, and somewhat reminds me of being back in Brooklyn. Good coffee.“

“Order a cheesesteak sub and it was amazing. Real meat, carmalized onions, and just the right amount of cheese on a FRESH hoagie roll. Haven’t had one like it since I moved in this area from South Jersey. They were early in their delivery and they even wrote a cute little personalized “thank you” note on the bag. May seem small, but made me feel like they appreciate their customers. I work in food service and am jealous of their staff to get to work in a place like that.“

“Smiling face with the staffs, affordable prices, observes social distancing, clean place, parking space, etc etc etc, simple so please try and you’ll find yourself looking for this place to dine.“

“I went to this place yesterday, food was amazing, staff was kind and friendly. I would definitely return if I am in this area again. I recommend the Dumbledore and the sweets they have were great as well. got myself some mother's days macarons. also forgot to mention it is located in a great active spot in town 😃“

“Great place to play some TCG like Pokemon TCG, magic the gathering, union arena, grand archive, and more. The location host multiple events for every kind of game and makes sure to stay updated with new sets and release. The staff is always gentle and willing to help you to learn the rules of the game. And the coffee is insanely good“

“dirty place....the chef uses his bare hands to prepare and cook meals then denied multiple customers for food requests like 8pm like 🤦‍♀️..... they never clean while cooking or preparing instead they wait to clean up at 8pm ....gross only meal I was able to eat was a kibob salad because there meat is disgusting 😑“

“What a great and convenient place to have lunch or breakfast. I truly enjoy the sandwiches and soups. My favorite is beef barley on Tuesdays. Chicken noodle fills the bill any day with different pastas to satisfy your palate. Friendly service and just a great place to eat. Come and enjoy your meal, it will truly be worth it.!!!“

“In the past year I used Custodi to cater two parties, a Hawaiian Luau and Texas BBQ. Both times the food was delicious! Chris is so easy to work with and very accommodating with what your needs are. His staff took care of everything the day of, very professional. Our parties were a huge success and everyone raved about the food! Thanks so much Chris!“

“We recently organized a Company Appreciation event and had a fantastic experience. Initially, when placing our order, they offered to set up for us, which we declined. However, when we arrived, everything was beautifully set up. They even provided extra items and ensured we had everything we needed. They truly saved the day for us. Thanks a million!“

“Love it! So happy it’s in our neighborhood!!“

He also rents for special occasions- I've even seen small weddings here! Highly highly recommended. Kosher ice cream and snacks as well. Take your wife or date here! In winter, roaring fire inside. I just love it here. Sitting outside and seeing the beauty around me right now. Tranquil....just awesome. Great place to work from as well.“

“Had the best pumpkin pancakes ever with a side of real bacon. the best bacon. I normally have turkey bacon. celebrating my birthday breakfast with my daughter before she headed back to PA. Red Eye is one of her favorite places to eat. She use to work in Montclair. So when she is visiting, this is her place. Great atmosphere!“

“We are learning about Taiwan in school and decided to try Bubble Tea. The employees were very kind and explained how Bubble tea originated from Taiwan, gave our children stickers and helped them through their first time eating the Boba. I love that they have caffeine free and low sugar options.

Kid-friendliness: Low sugar and caffeine free options. They were also very friendly to our children and gave them stickers.“

“This place is great. Highly recommend. One of the best spots around. Between the food, coffee and service, this place is a 10 out of 10. They’re very caring and friendly! The blueberry scones are the what ones I’ve had. So good !!“

“This is a great little café/diner right next to the Westfield train station. We are fairly new to Westfield and went there for the first time a couple of weeks ago. We were wowed by the wonderful customer service of our waitress, Cindy. She was very attentive, provided great order suggestions and also brought over their delicious housemade hot sauce to go along with our eggs. All the food we ordered was wonderful, including the short stack of chocolate chip pancakes, the egg and cheese sandwich on a hard roll, and the Florentine omelette. The chef (maybe owner?), Ash even stopped by later on towards the end of our meal to check on how everything was. We meant to write this review right after that, but then never got around to it and when we went back today a few weeks later, we realized how much we needed to write this up! This time Kirsten and Cindy both helped us out, and Cindy remembered us by our orders from the last time even though we had only been here one time- very impressive and shows a great attention to detail and customer service. Ash came by also, and it was clear he remembered us as well. The food was fresh and tasty yet again (we got the French toast, egg and cheese sandwich, and Greek omelette this time) and the prices are great. This place is a gem and is definitely becoming one of our go-to spots!“

“I often stop by Method Cafe during my lunch break, and I can’t recommend it enough! My go-to is the Mozzarella Pesto Sandwich, which is simply perfect every time. The combination of fresh mozzarella and flavorful pesto hits the spot. Plus, the atmosphere is chill and cool, making it a great place to unwind. If you're looking for a delicious lunch in a relaxed setting, this is the place to be!“

“I’ve been a customer of Jenn the owner ever since she opened up four seasons 10 years . She and her staff has always been number 1 in customer service the food , the tea and the smoothies are amazing . Everyone should take the opportunity to visit and you as well will enjoy the experience and the menu they have to offer God be you always Jenn“
