“Loved this cute little place!!! My daughter and I were out and about, and wanted to get some coffee, but not from the regular “chain” coffee shop, so after a quick search, we headed to Metuchen. We were lucky enough to get parking right outside, and walked in to be pleasantly surprised by the esthetic vibe. Everything was super clean, and we were greeted right away by the super friendly employee. My daughter ordered a cappuccino and I got iced coffee. We also got a cheese and pesto savory pastry and a passion fruit and coconut tres leches dessert. Everything was delicious!!!!! Thanks for the enjoyable experience. We will definitely return.“

“daFilippo's is a hidden gem of a restaurant that has been my family's special occasion standard for many year's. The Northern Italian menu which changes to focus on only the freshest ingredients has a little Swiss influence and is presented with an artistic touch and personal care. Last evening I hosted sixteen business associates in the back room which has an iron gate for privacy. Filippo presented a five course meal which blew everyone away followed by him playing a few songs on the Piano. The Chicken or Cod dishes were pan seared to perfection. daFilippo's is a BYOB restaurant which I Love. My wife remarked how clean the restrooms are kept. Plenty of parking in the rear of the building. In closing, if you are looking for a family owned, unique restaurant where the owner chef touches every plate to ensure perfection then this is the place to make a reservation.“

“First time dining at 22 West. We met up with friends for dinner. It was a great evening for adults and kids. Our server was really nice and attentive. She didn’t rush us either. Menu is extensive and has something for everyone for food and drinks.“

“The service was really excellent. The food was delicious. I was having a party for a member of my staff and it could not be more perfect.“

“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! 🇫🇷🥖🥐🥮🧁🎂💕“

“I had an amazing experience dining here tonight. My boyfriend & I wanted to explore Vietnamese cuisine. I’m vegan & loved that they had multiple options for me. We ordered steamed vegetable dumplings to start. Fresh ingredients and the perfect starter to a great meal. The Thai milk tea was outstanding. Not too sweet yet creamy and addictive. The staff directed me towards the lemongrass pho with vegetables and tofu. It was out of this world! The lemongrass flavor was rich and comforting. My boyfriend ordered the Bánh mì. It was sweet and savory - the perfect balance. The baguette was fresh and the meat was very seasoned and well cooked. I had the pleasure of meeting the owner, Andy. You can tell he’s passionate about his restaurant and customers. I said I added too much chili oil to my broth (rookie mistake - it’s very spicy!) and he was kind enough to add more broth to my leftovers to lessen the heat. He was accommodating, friendly and kind. We can’t wait to explore the whole menu. Highly recommended!“

“We recently had my daughter’s soccer team lunch here on a Sunday afternoon. I spoke with the manager on duty the evening prior and it couldn’t have gone smoother. We had the whole top floor to ourselves. Service was amazing as was the food. We sometimes have issues splitting checks because the girls want to sit together away from their parents but they handled it with ease. I’m still dreaming of the delicious ice cream that was the cherry on top of a great experience.“

“We very much enjoyed our meal at Khorasan Kabab. The humus is outstanding. The falafel was also quite good.

For our entree, the filet mignon Kabab was definitely our favorite.

There is a free parking lot in the back.“

“Outstanding sushi. Traveling for business, walk in group of 10. Great experience. Super impressed with the quality of the food. 10/10 would recommend. Probably will come back again before we fly out. Worth it“

“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 :)“

“Amazing food. Had hummus shareable platter. Fresh ingredients and tasted amazing!!“

“Today was our first time ordering. It was so good. The Monday special roast beef sloppy Joe was amazing“

“While traveling through the area, we had the pleasure of discovering a hidden gem—an up-and-coming local distillery and cocktail lounge that left a lasting impression. From the moment we walked in, we were welcomed with warmth and genuine hospitality. The staff wasn’t just friendly—they were incredibly knowledgeable, taking the time to walk us through the unique distilling process behind each of their handcrafted spirits. Their passion for the craft was evident in every sip and every story. Whether you're a seasoned connoisseur or just curious about small-batch spirits, this distillery is a must-visit destination. We can’t wait to return and see how this exceptional local spot continues to grow!“

“Great selection. New brews regularly and the staples. Great staff & atmosphere. Fun place“

“Great beer selection. Large and cozy tap room with plenty of room inside and outside to chill out and enjoy. BYO Food and a rotating selection of live music. Great for groups of 2 to 20. And a distillery next door... Winner winner BYO dinner“

“Great coffee shop! Everything is organic in the shop. Love their cold brew Shandy, which you can customize with their various organic syrups throughout the entire year. Also their bacon breakfast sandwich and large crumble cookies (they have four or five different kinds) are to die for. And their organic lemonade is also awesome! And the barista’s know their stuff. I also like their grab and go organic sandwiches.“

“I've had the best pizza and the food was cooked well. on many orders take out and dine in one of the best places when shopping at mid state mall.“

“Kyma is the reason we drive 30 minutes for amazing authentic Greek cuisine. Our appetizer/small plate of smoked eggplant dip & lamb empanada with herb mint sauce was a wonderful start. Sea bass in tomato broth with potatoes & Aegean shrimp dish were perfectly prepared. We had to have the baklava with vanilla ice cream (no pic as we attacked it!). The ambience, service and food made for a beautiful meal!“

“Guava cake brought us back to our childhoods. Highly recommended!!“

“We have been disappointed with our go to diner lately so we decided to try bridgewater diner. We placed our order, with some notes attached. We got pork roll egg & cheese, home fries bagel with cream cheese fruit cup & chocolate milkshake. All notes were read & followed. Sandwiches were loaded & roll was fresh. Bagel & fruit cup were very good also. Now, time to eat used to be our go to, but lately the food is not up to par. The home fries were not fresh just warmed up & dry. Asked for gravy with French fries & did not get. Roll was hard, no pickle or coleslaw with blt. No syrup or butter with pancakes. Will not let you put in notes. This has been going on gor the last 6 orders. Bridgewater diners home fries were fresh & so much better, added onions per request, pork roll sandwich was excellent. Hands down much better then time to eat diner. Needless to say Bridgewater diner is now our go to diner.“

“Visited for first time. Food and service were great. I have to say I was not pleased with the Pet situation. I am a dog lover, but pets in a restaurant is not appealing at all. The dogs were barking, doing their busy on the sidewalk, spilling drinking water out of saucers. This was a bit too much. Sorry I'm not a pet hater, but safety and sanitary issues would keep me from visiting again.“

“very good food and polite and professional 👌“

“If you're looking for some good, home style comfort food, this is the place. Easy 9.5“

“I stopped in this restaurant for a quick meal. When I arrived I parked on the street nearby. I walked into and cozy restaurant. I ordered with one of the owners the:

Soursop Cranberry Ginger
Curried Beef Lumpia
Coconut Glazed Plantains
Jerk Mushroom
Jerk Chicken

I really enjoyed the drink and the Lumpia the most! All in all a really good experience!“

“Perfect Sunday night take out!“

“This is my favorite bubble tea place EVER!! The brown sugar bubble tea is almost addictive and the only time I don’t get it is when it’s closed on Wednesdays. The macarons are incredible too. I have never been to a place like this where I come back to it constantly. I would give 10000 stars if possible“

“Loved everything about it! The taste, the texture, that SATISFYING crunch 👌🏾👌🏾👌🏾 can’t wait to go back“

“I recently visited JOES PIZZA and had an absolutely fantastic experience! From the moment I walked in, the atmosphere was warm and welcoming. The staff was friendly and attentive, making us feel right at home. The pizza? Simply amazing. The crust was perfectly crispy on the outside yet soft and chewy inside—exactly what you want in a pizza. I tried their signature EGGPLANT PIZZA, and the combination of fresh ingredients and bold flavors was a delightful surprise. You can tell they use high-quality ingredients, and everything tasted so fresh. What really stood out was the variety of toppings and unique combinations. There’s something for everyone, whether you’re into classic Margherita or prefer something more adventurous. And don’t even get me started on their homemade sauces—wow! The portions were generous, and the prices were more than reasonable for the quality you get. I’ll definitely be back soon to try more from their menu. If you're in the area and craving delicious pizza,“

“Great food and friendly service!!!“

“Best pizza in New Jersey! I’m honestly surprised Dave Portnoy hasn’t come to rate this place a 10. Their pizza is incredibly crispy, and the ingredients are simple but high quality. They’re always making different pies throughout the day, so there’s always something fresh and delicious coming out.

The customer service is impeccable. I’m not from New Jersey, but every time I walk in, they treat me like family. They also have a great lunch special—two slices of any kind. I usually go for the vodka cheese and a pepperoni slice, and it never disappoints. Oh, and you have to try the sugar-free cream soda—it’s so good!

100/10 would recommend!“

“The boys were exceptionally sweet and welcoming. This is my first time at this location and the customer service was amazing! I’ll stop by anytime I’m this neighborhood!“

“Carlos pizza is amazing, our absolute favorite pizzeria. We've been getting them for over 8 years. Recently I my food allergy escalated to the point where any exposure to it sends me to the ER. With that said, i haven't been able to order take out as its a major risk. I took a chance and requested them to exclude these ingredients from the pizza and to avoid cross contamination. They went the extra mile and made a safe pizza!! When you're not able to order pizza for months, this means the world lol. BIG THANKS TO CARLOS!! You rock! ❤️“

“Ammmmmmazing! I’ve been a loyal customer from the beginning and they always hit the mark! Love seeing new stuff and always always always friendly faces with 5 star coffee!!“

“Always a pleasure to swing by, picking up the best small batch single origin coffee! Highly recommend stopping by if you live in the area.“

“We went there with my mom, who isn’t vegan, and we all loved it (so much so that we didn’t take many pictures)!! The highlights for me were the Sweet & Sour “Chicken” because I feel like it’s not offered very often - & it was sooo good - and the Thai Iced Tea with oat milk b/c it was yum-azing too!!! 🤤“

“had dinner with friends tonight. the service and atmosphere were outstanding and the food was excellent. Oh and the tamales are the best. I'll be going back well done Carlos and staff.“

“I highly recommend this place the parking at church street was convenient a 2 minute walk around the corner , the foods and drinks were top notch delicious and refreshing, if your ever looking to go out on a date night this is the place“
