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 :)

I’m glad I stopped by on a whim. I was greeted by a small, cozy cafe and got a yummy London fog latte, which had a good strong lavender flavor. Pets are welcomed, which I found out when a cute poodle walked in and jumped on the couch. There is a parking lot, which is a huge bonus in NB. My only issue is that sometimes this place is too busy xD. It’s super popular and frequented by Rutgers students, so finding a table and navigating around the tables may be hard :(.I didn’t see any Iranian/Persian sweets or specials but I guess I wasn’t looking closely enough.

Friend's is one of my favorite cafe to work out of. The baristas are so nice and friendly, and I love seeing the well behaved pups that sometimes visit with their parents. Friend's feels like a third place that's missing in a lot of cities now, and I'm so grateful to have a cozy place like this nearby. The wifi is secure and reliable. The food is great! Note: Friend's does get really crowded and does have a time limit during their rush hours.I also love that they're dog friendly and have a great dog food menu. My dog's favorite is the Zoey's Chicken Platter with an egg on top.

They provide parking, which is rare in this area from my experience!There were so many options to pick from when it came to drinks and food. I got the chicken fajitas, which were priced reasonably and really good! It was fresh, flavorful, and came with a good amount of sauce(separate). I also got the iced Twix latte, which was a good blend of flavors, but was(in my opinion) too sweet, little to no coffeand not enough ice since it was a bit warm still. If I had asked for slightly less sweet, it would have been perfect.The atmosphere is where this place shines. There is a comforting feel with how this place is decorated(there’s a huge wall of photos dedicated to furry visitors), and while a little cramped, doesn’t feel as such when you sit down with how it’s formatted. I am a bit concerned if I were to bring my dog though, as navigating around tables are very hard since the place is relatively small and he could be stepped on if it’s slightly busier. It’s not too loud, even when it is very busy, and the baristas are very nice. It’s a cute place to sit down and work for a bit as a student.

Good food, ok cafe.Ordered some Persian sweets Faloodeh and Akbar Mashti ice cream. The guy at the counter took his sweet time 15-20 minutes to pack the stuff. Kind of weird to take that long, but it was worth it. Good stuff!

Friends Cafe provided the most wonderful experience for not only my husband and I, but also our extremely large furry son. Cocoa enjoyed the steak bowl off the furry menu while we enjoyed a Twix latte and a matcha tea latte- all super delicious. The staff and owner are kind, which made the experience even more enjoyable. Highly recommend all NJ pet parents to visit this hidden gem!
