50 Best Cafes near Middlesex

“Great menu great atmosphere and excellent prices , the owners and staff super friendly“

“Amazing Cinnamon Rolls. Perfectly baked dough, not over done. Extra Cinnamon, not the cheap stuff and plenty of sweet glaze for the top.“

“Frequent customer, but always blown away with the freshness of their summer menu. The shrimply the best tacos, which was originally on a tostada last summer, was just as amazing, but didn’t sit as heavy as a tostada. Love the move to a light tortilla. The Mexi-Avo toast was so filling and the flavors melted together so nicely. Don’t forget the decor inside is so cozy, boho/havana vibe and perfect for a date or girl’s brunch. 10/10“

“Cool electic vibes. Busy but cozy as well. I randomly was in the area and was looking for a quick latte before a meeting. This was 4 minutes away, really glad I went. Will go back again, I tried nootropic latte. It's got a cool clever twist with emphasis on neuro/ nootropic/ well being mixins.“

“A delightful coffee shop in Scotch Plains. It has three rooms: a lovely sitting area with tables, a lounge area with a couch, and a coffee bar. The coffee is superb! It's on Westfield Ave., with convenient parking in the back (off Montague Ave.), watch for it carefully if you're driving, as it's easy to miss.“

“I love having a Dominican bakery so close. Everything we’ve had there has been FABULOUS!!! Honestly, some of the best coconut macaroons I have ever had and that includes ones I’ve had in DR. I had a coconut tree leches cake, and a strawberry short cake cup, which were both out of this world. The cold brew is so good, and the pumpkin sauce is on point. They’re also super friendly. Next time I need to try the pastelitos (empanadas).“

“beautiful treats. taho that tastes like back home. friendly owner. cozy set up. I had the taho, yema cupcake & pandan cupcakes....YUM! I'll try the cassava cake later & their ube pan de sal.“

“As I run in to grab my order, I see the prized pistachio latte And think to myself: ‘Yup, it’ll definitely taste good’ Ps. Please bring the tiramisu latte back.“

“Brewed Awakening is the perfect spot for breakfast, brunch, or lunch. The food is consistently delicious, and some of my favorites include the BLT Sandwich (always made to perfection), the omelettes, and their Apple Caramel Butter Latte—a delightful seasonal treat. I first discovered the latte through a social media post a few weeks ago, and now Brewed Awakening has become my go-to spot every Sunday for a relaxing meal. The service is always warm and welcoming. Annie, the owner, often makes an appearance on the floor, either serving or checking in with guests to ensure they’re enjoying their visit. Her kindness and genuine hospitality make the experience even more special. I highly recommend stopping by Brewed Awakening for a delicious meal and a cozy, inviting atmosphere. You won’t be disappointed!“

“Tiny location, packs a pearl.... comedy. ?I love their Thai Tea Boba and their waffles are amazing ?? whether you like croffles or their house made (?) batter. All smoothies I've had have been delicious as well as their Dolgona(hope I'm spelling that right) coffee boba! SUPPORT THIS BUSINESS??tons of parking btw!“

“All around wonderful first experience at Safwa. Genuinely one of the best coffees I’ve ever had, and I’m not even a coffee drinker! I also ordered a panini sandwich which was delightful. Their specialty sauce is a creamy spicy mustard, which paired well with their thick-cut turkey. A great place to socialize and study, and while busy, service was still great! Will definitely be returning soon.“

“Great mixed black bean burger“

“Just had the apple turnover, it was incredible.“

“Popped in for lunch when picking up something nearby. I was really impressed! Nothing fancy just good food! Staff were so friendly and seemed to know everyone. I'll definitely be back!“

“This restaurant is an amazing find! The menu is varied and much of it is reasonably healthy food. The service is attentive enough without being overbearing. There are some outdoor tables for when the weather is nice.

We tried the turkey avocado sandwich and the eggs Benedict. Both of them were amazingly good. The brewed coffee and the cold brew were also excellent.“

“Delicious food ☕️ Awesome donuts 🍩 Internet service“

“La schiacciata e’ ottima, l’ambiente elegante ed accogliente. Golosi i panini, i dolci ed i croissant!“

“Great selection of Portuguese and Brazilian breakfast/lunch!!!“

“Boxwood Cafe is a gem! The owner has created a high quality coffee shop and the employees are very friendly. I like to stop by for a latte and a baked good (scone, cookie, or blueberry bar) and sit outside at one of the side tables. Pre-Covid, they hosted open mic night and quiz night every month. Now Steve hosts a monthly Zoom Quiz Night and it is so much fun! A great locally owned cafe.“

“I went to this cafe for the first time with my friends and I found it very enjoyable. The poke bowls and tea are delicious although it can be a bit pricey. They have 3 ordering stations and private seating places which are perfect for studying but a bit dark lowkey. They also have free water which is a blessing. Parking is also easy to find🙏.“

“Great spot for a meeting! Great food and the best coffee!“

“This place is officially my go to local bakery! Victoria and her mom Laurence have been nothing but kind and helpful each time I’ve went in. My friends and family raved about the triple chocolate cake i picked up for my sisters birthday and my best friend and i enjoy a quiet breakfast and cafe on the weekends! The decor is so welcoming and bright. It’s a great place to sit, and relax! I highly recommend this place to anyone looking for delicious pastries and French imports. It’s a piece of home for my mom, as well! 🇫🇷🥖🥐🥮🧁🎂💕“

“Amazing matcha bubble tea and latte that was better than any other matcha latte I've ever had before. I've had a lot of matcha so if you can trust me on this one. Talked with the owner Ying and barista Jesse for some time and they were both great ❤. The cafe itself has a very good esthetic with a cute teddy bear in the corner. Definitely a must try for any latte and bubble tea lovers 😋.“

“One of my favorite bakeries from now on. Love the pastries, drinks and the crew service is very good as well.“

“Amazing coffee and even better pastries & deserts.
The barista was incredibly kind, he was friendly and we got to chatting about the music that was playing, overall it was definitely worth the walk.

I can’t wait to come here after getting off the bus from college and have a nice place to study and get coffee!“

“We love the atmosphere, the delicious homemade soups, main dishes, and desserts at the lovely Friends Friend's Cafe :) the jazz evenings outdoors, the chess-playing and studying students & Mo, Josephine, and Hannah with the heart of gold for all furry friends who are welcome inside the cafe, and, of course, on the patio <3 <3 <3 Below is our Rover enjoying his doggie meal and a comfy bed at the cafe :)“

“Delicious fresh food. Nuray's is a hidden gem. Highly recommended.“

“More then food - kindness & 💜“

“Lifehack - although you need a membership to use the facilities inside the YMCA, anyone can come in and get their snack fix (workout optional).

Its a small cafe, but offers enough essentials. They sell pizzas, empandas, burgers, fries... as well healthy juice bar and variety drink options.

But their main feature is the acai bowls - acai, pitahaya or coconut base options. There's a handful of pre-built choices (loaded with fruits, granola, nutella or peanut butter) or create your own. Quick and efficient and beautifully prepared... our Berrytella and Dragon Kiwi bowls came out fresh and delicious.

Will definitely be back, and might even convince me to actually use the gym.“

“Great food !! I definitely recommend this place 👍🏻“

“It’s always nice and clean. And the staff is very helpful. I just love this place always buying what I don’t really need😊“

“Great breakfasts. World-class home fries!“

“There were 3 of us
2 had the breakfast Sami #1…. It was Huge, taste was on point!! So yummy. Highly recommend
The other ordered Waffles with bacon and eggs…. Eggs done perfect! Waffles were so crisp and soft it was steaming at the table.
Bacon perfectly cooked.
(we are picky bacon people)😬

Coffee was smooth and hot.

Server was on time and very pleasant to us.

Highly recommend for a wonderful breakfast.

Very eclectic, fun place!
You need to check out the game area 🤗🤗🤗“

“Everything was always so fresh and tasty. The Staff goes out of their way for the Customers.“

“Amazing food and service.“

“Great affogato if made by the right people. Went recently where there was a young gentlemen who made my desert. I get a double affogato, yet this time I received a cup of melted gelato with 2 cold shots of espresso mixed in. Morale of the story- don’t go if there is a young gentlemen there, or they need to train him because the method was wild. Scoop of gelato with one shot of espresso… proceeds to make another shot of espresso, adds more gelato to the already melted gelato and shot of espresso, and then adds the second shot on top. I received 2 bites of gelato with my cold shots of espresso. For an almost 10$ desert, I am quite disappointed“

“We were looking for Brasilian salgadinhos to snack on during the Copa 2024 Brasil game. We found a large assortment at Cafe Cirino.
It’s a small place, with tables. A surprisingly large menu, with lots of choices. Gabriela took our order, which was made on the spot and well packaged for the trip home.
Paid parking across the street.“

“This chef at this place has proven that good food does not have to be exotic or complex.

Farm Barn cafe offers simple non fussy delicious food that is easy to relate and enjoy.

Cool laid back vibe with a limited menu , but a easy menu with good choices and cooked with quality ingredients that reflects in the tasty food .

Treat for Vegan lovers - The smoky Quinoa Veg Chilli is everything a Chilli needs to be minus the meat .!

Pita Pizza - A Palm sized Margherita pizza on a home made Pita is a kids delight and a treat for adults

Jalapeño poppers - what a unique take at this - No breading, fried split Chillis stuffed with cheese, served open faced with a side of pickled jalapeños . This dish definitely packs a kick

Have a good meal at Farm Barn and walk around Duke Park to celebrate and digest it .“
