“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!“

“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).“

“We stopped in at the cafe while visiting the area. The staff was very friendly and they were helpful in making recommendations. We enjoyed a delicious and strong Freddo Cappuccino, along with a couple of their mini Greek cheese pies. Would definitely come back!“

“Wonderful peaceful atmosphere. Comfy seating with nooks to plug in and work. Locally authored books in the shelves. The chai has a perfect balance of herbs and spices and is not too sweet. Also had an amazing empanada and a freshly baked-on-premises cookie. Love the local focus of this cafe. Will come back again to try the fresh leaf teas and the other empanadas.“

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

“I recently discovered Good Vibes Cafe in Fords, NJ, and it has quickly become our go-to spot. John and Angelica, the owners, create an atmosphere that is not only friendly but genuinely welcoming. Every visit feels like a warm, positive experience. My son and I have spent countless enjoyable hours at the cafe, often hanging out with their wonderful daughter Jade. The teas and shakes are a delight, offering a refreshing and diverse selection. The ambiance is just perfect for relaxing and unwinding. And let's talk about the donuts – they are out of this world! The flavors are unique, and the freshness is unbeatable. Each bite feels like a little piece of heaven. Good Vibes Cafe is more than just a place to grab a drink or snack; it's an experience filled with warmth, great company, and, of course, fantastic treats. If you're in Fords, NJ, do yourself a favor and soak in the good vibes at this exceptional cafe.“

“The Barista is welcoming and made us smooth chocolate drinks! I gratefully enjoyed our pastries; the tastes are extraordinary, fresh, warm, salty sweet. Truly like nothing I have ever had in NJ! I felt my tastebuds transported to appreciate the combination of fruits, nuts, sugar, spice…I can’t wait to try the new Spring menu with another delicious drink. We are simply blessed to have The Simple Fare in Millburn🙏😋“

“Great food and friendly service!!!“

“Great and friendly service“

“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“

“Beautiful...Westfield Station Cafe is truly a Westfield is wonderful! The food was absolutely amazing my wife, and I enjoyed it very much. Everything was delicious, and you can really feel the love that goes into the food. Highly recommend!“

“Me and my family were pleasantly surprised by the food at Snack Mania! We were in town visiting and decided to look up places to eat after a long day and so glad we took a chance on Snack Mania. The smoothies were AMAZING! I got a pineapple mint smoothie and it was heavenly! My sons enjoyed their burgers and fries and my husband enjoyed his chicken sandwhich. I got a beef empanada and it was good as well. I recommend giving them a try if you’re looking a quick bite or a refreshing drink!“

“Even after living here so long, NJ remains full of surprises. Rosa's is a spot that feels impossible - in between two doors at the Toyota service center, they're serving food that tops most diners I've been to. It almost feels like it shouldn't exist. Love that, Thank you for the great eats! I'll be back!“

“Love their soups and sandwiches. Their staff are always friendly and professional!“

“My favorite is the dirty chai...it's so good!! The coffee is pretty good too. The owner is super nice and always has time to say hi! A great place“

“Very cute cafe in downtown Chatham. The rose saffron latte didn’t have much flavor, but was very cute in its presentation. The desi breakfast bowl on the other hand had some real kick and I absolutely loved it. Such unique flavors that you don’t see anywhere else. Will definitely be returning to try other dishes!“

“I recommend all sandwiches but my favorite one is the chicken Caesar ciabatta sandwich. A salad but sandwich style. It’s so good it’s a must get. Workers there are friendly. I come here often for the corn muffins there the best I’ve ever had.“

“In addition to the tasty toasts and healthy smoothies -- with many diverse offerings and flavor profiles -- I loved the service more than anything.

The one item we didn't completely love when we went was our chai. Like many western chais, this one was too sweet. (To me, once it's that sweet, you lose all those aromatic notes of the ginger and cinnamon, but that's beside the point).

When I approached the workers with our feelings on the drink, they were quick to make a change without charging us. They completely remade the drink with less syrup, and it made a huge difference.

So, we we will definitely be back for a second visit! It's a great atmosphere, with fun options, and a helpful staff. Remaking that drink was really nice and showed they will do what's in their power to make your experience the best it can be.“

“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.“

“Great cause for our young people to learn a trade and deal with the public. A few people from Evergreen Senior Center try to get there for breakfast at least once a month, Food is very good and reasonably priced.“

“New ownership and they serve wonderful authentic Mexican food. Amazing tacos.“

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

“La cucina di Roberto e Luca rispecchia la cucina italiana fatta di profumi sapori e bellezza dei piatti. Frutto di un'arte che è nella ricerca di prodotti di qualità e poi la capacità di preparare per la degustazione. La migliore Italia e qui.“

“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!“

“Good food, hospitality, plenty of parking and prices at par with services and food received.“

“I enjoyed dining at Inkosi Cafe. I Love that this cafe is Black Owned. The owner is the sweetest!. It felt good to be welcomed with open arm's and a few laughs!.
I had the chicken wrap with seasoned fries. It was very flavorful. It was made to order. I also had an amazing smoothie!.

I would go back over and over again!. Make sure to check out this beautiful café!.“

“Great place! A coffee hangout for the post modern beat generation !“

“My experience at Blossoms Brunch Bar was pretty cool overall. The atmosphere was inviting and had a nice brunch vibe that made it easy to relax and enjoy the visit. The food was decent — not mind-blowing, but satisfying and well-presented. The service stood out the most; the staff was friendly, attentive, and made sure we were taken care of throughout our meal. It’s a solid spot to check out if you’re looking for a laid-back brunch with good service and a welcoming environment.“

“More then food - kindness & 💜“
