“My wife and I walked into LK for the first time and the hostess greeted us and said "sit anywhere you'd like".....what restaurant ever says that, we were hooked right away. We both shared a caesar salad, it was delicious. My wife ordered pasta with sausage. That too was delicious, I had the pasta with cherry tomatoes and crab meat, absolutely delicious. When our order came, we immediately got fresh pepper and before I could even ask for fresh cheese, a gentleman was waiting behind me with the cheese. I mean, c'mon the place has a great food, great service and a nice chill atmosphere. I think we just found our go-to restaurant.“

“Impressed!! The inside of this cafe is clean, aesthetic, and perfect for any visitor. They offer fresh delicious quality food and coffee at a reasonable price. I ordered the maple coffee, it has the perfect balance of sweetnesses and coffee. The chicken noodle soup tasted rich and delicious served with crackers and bread! The chicken fry was huge. It was $12 and did not come with any sides but you don’t need it! It comes with a huge piece of breaded chicken on a Portuguese style roll with amazing sauces. Super filling but not heavy at all!! The BLTA was fresh, light, flavorful, and delightful, I recommend!! You just walk up to the counter, order your food, grab your number, and sit while you wait shortly. This is a great option in Upper Montclair, one of favorite visits! They have an extensive menu and its options to please everyone at a great price!“

There was a $8 cover charge and the price of the drinks were reasonable. Staff was friendly and it was easy and quick to get drinks.“

The service alone ! The owner, the cook. I felt like I was at my great auntie house. Gonna make this a least once a month staple . Pouring blessings and success over this business for many years to come.“
