50 Best Cafes near Montvale

“We are a family that swears by wheat products (gluten-free people don't really get along with us at mealtimes :-)) so our bread bin and pasta pantry are always full. Ever since we discovered Steins Bagels, we simply stopped buying bagels AND cream cheeses from other stores. Their bagels are deliciously chewy and satisfyingly substantial. Their cream cheeses are much tastier (and substantial) than the kind one can get from a deli in a regular grocery store. Many of their customers are regulars, and this family has joined their club :-)!“

“I work in Montvale, NJ and I hear wonderful things about this place. During my lunch hour, I placed an order over the phone and spoke with Emily who was attentive, accommodating and was able to get my custom order perfect. Upon picking up, ammon greeted me quickly and confirmed my order right away. The vegetarian sandwich was amazing and Emily suggested I add the roasted peppers in lieu of the cromini mushrooms. It was amazing and I will be ordering from here again.“

“Today we stopped by GiGi’s Cafe and had the Greek Toast and an Americano, while my wife enjoyed the Classic Toast and an Americano. Everything was absolutely delicious.

The cafe itself is beautifully decorated with flowers, creating such a warm and peaceful atmosphere. We also had the privilege of hearing the owner’s family story. Although it began with sadness, they chose hope, love, and resilience, turning it into something truly beautiful and inspiring.

As their sign says, “You come in as a guest, but you leave as family.” That’s exactly how we felt. We walked in as customers, but we left feeling like family.

Thank you for the wonderful food, the beautiful space, and most of all, your inspiring story. We can’t wait to come back. - Peter and Julie“

“Lifelong Palisades resident, and have loved the 9W Market/The Filling Station since it opened back in 2011! A HUGE improvement over the previous ownership when it was called the Palisades Market which opened in the spring of 2010 and was only open for a few months and then closed. I was so disappointed with the Palisades Market because it lacked a decent food selection and this community needed something so much more. Luckily, the owners of the 9W Market have done such an amazing job! I’ve never had a bad meal here! The ingredients are high quality and super fresh! The atmosphere and ambiance is very relaxing and tranquil! Love the bistro theme on the indoor side and picnic theme by the filling station burger stand. Not to mention, the burgers are the best I’ve ever had! Made with high quality grass fed beef! This is gourmet nyc restaurant style food right in our local neighborhood! Keep up the great work!“

“A huge variety coffee,and tea Awsome! its exactly what we needed in the area.“

“Just tried the emenadas (pollo, beef, queso). They were excellent. Will be back for more food.“

“Great coffee, the older lady who is usually there is very friendly and welcoming. A barista was there that I’ve never seen before and maybe it was a language barrier but I think not she was rude. I said bless you after she sneezed no acknowledgement when she gave me my coffee I said thank you once again just turned her back no acknowledgement. Could’ve been a language barrier or me not being Korean“

“Great atmosphere. Pretty good 🌭 and the ☕️ was great. 🚻 was clean as a whistle.

The park is making you pay for parking now even during winter. I don't know if that's new or not. Further south (Fort Lee/Alpine) it's still free for the winter time.“

“great new coffee shop! The staff is super nice the younger woman and the older woman always have a smile on their faces, which makes the place feel really welcoming.

“This small shop makes the best (bacon) egg + cheese sandwiches around that area.The owners know what I want after I've not been there for months at a time, and have been like that since my first visit. They are always friendly and quick with my order.They have Coffee Roasters coffee, a favorite of mine, but they rarely make decaf, if that's what you're after.It is a tiny shop with limited seating, you'll probably be more comfortable in your car or back home, but there's always news on the tv to keep you amused, should you sit and eat.Park in the Rite-Aid lot or on the side street. They're 2 blocks from the train, and there's plenty of small places to shop or investigate nearby.“

“La Promenade is awesome , food is amazing staff very helpful“

“Today my mom and I stumbled upon Ramsey Corner Café in Ramsey, New Jersey, and what a wonderful find it was!

From the moment we walked in, we were greeted with smiles and a warm welcome from the staff. Our server, Maria, was incredibly friendly, upbeat, and cheerful. Great service can make all the difference, and she definitely helped make our experience special.

The daily specials looked amazing, and the menu had so many tempting options. While we were seated, I happened to notice the owner outside wiping down tables and getting everything ready for the day. It may seem like a small thing, but it spoke volumes about the pride and care he takes in his business. It was refreshing to see that level of dedication firsthand.

Now let’s talk about the omelet! I honestly can’t remember the last time I had an omelet this good. I ordered one with sausage, turkey bacon, onions, tomatoes, and bell peppers. It was cooked perfectly, packed with flavor, and beautifully presented. So many places overcook omelets or leave them bland, but this one was absolutely delicious. Even my mom could tell how much I was enjoying it!

The hash browns were perfectly cookednot greasy at alland everything tasted fresh and homemade.

I am so happy we discovered this gem. I can’t wait to come back, try more items from the menu, and tell my friends and family about it. Ramsey Corner Café has definitely earned a new loyal customer!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Highly recommend!“

“Got a quesadilla and was a little skeptical but it was actually very flavorful, the interior is very clean and well decorated and the effort they’ve put into their cafe is apparent, I would def recommend it was good and pretty inexpensive.

Also their green sauce fire get that green sauce..“

“So happy to have Jack’s Cafe back! We went this morning and I had their famous corned beef hash! I can’t tell you how much I missed it! So glad to have you back in the area!“

“Just be mindful that the restaurant is located inside the golf academy, once you enter the building the entrance is on your left.Overall had an amazing experience, they will give you an extraordinary service and treat you like a valued customer at all time. All the dishes are delicious, yet low sodium, fresh ingredients. They have a seasonal menu and it's the best to follow what the owner suggest. They usually have very traditional, healthy dishes.“

“Nestled in the heart of Closter, Café Mia is a cool spot where you can score awesome Korean snacks and amazing sandwiches. They've got my favorite fresh BLTE(gg)A(vocado) sandwiches to Korean rice roll 'Kimbop' that'll make your taste buds do a happy dance. Plus, Mia, the owner, is super nice, and the staff are always friendly. So if you're ever in the mood for practicing some balls and good eats in a laid-back atmosphere, Café Mia is where it's at.“

We worked with Mike and he came up with a perfect menu to make our picky kids and adult foodies happy. When we arrived the table was set and delicious appetizers were ready to go!! They were followed by a delicious meal of chicken, salmon and awesome sides. Everyone had a great time and raved about the food.“

“I loved my experience today. Merry Christmas! The friendly staff to start. I ordered the French Onion Soup which was absolutely delicious. The bread 🥖 was really great too!! ❤️“
