“Great time today with NBHS classmates for lunch. Good food, friendly staff. New favorite drink in a can: Spindrift. Special thanks to cashier who took the great photo. Sorry, didn’t get her name.“

“Food, service, and ambiance are A-1. Will definitely go again and recommend to others.“

“The Barista drinks are fantastic and cakes are delicious. Highly recommend!“

“I love their chai. I've been here a few times, and have had my fair share of chai at the "trendy" spots, and will say this is definitely up there. Their desserts are pretty great as well. I'd definitely recommend this spot for anyone wanting great desi chai. ?“

“I recently visited Koko Loko cafe in New Brunswick and had the pleasure of trying their Pistachio Latte and Caramel Latte. While both drinks were enjoyable, the Pistachio Latte truly stole the show.

The Pistachio Latte was perfectly balanced, with a rich, nutty flavor that wasn’t overly sweet but still indulgent. It had a creamy texture that complemented the espresso beautifully, making every sip an absolute delight. It’s one of those drinks that leaves you wanting more even after the last drop.

The Caramel Latte was good as well, with a classic sweetness and smooth finish, but it didn’t quite compare to the unique and standout flavor of the Pistachio Latte. If you’re deciding between the two, I’d highly recommend going for the pistachio—it’s a game changer!

The ambiance of the shop was cozy, and the service was friendly and efficient. I’ll definitely be returning to try more of their menu, but the Pistachio Latte is already a favorite.

5/5 stars for the Pistachio Latte alone!“

“Went for our first time for lunch today and the food and staff was excellent! I highly recommend coming here! We will definitely come back!“

“Tiny location, packs a pearl.... comedy. ?I love their Thai Tea Boba and their waffles are amazing ?? whether you like croffles or their house made (?) batter. All smoothies I've had have been delicious as well as their Dolgona(hope I'm spelling that right) coffee boba! SUPPORT THIS BUSINESS??tons of parking btw!“

“I love the food and the friendly service. I am a regular customer.“

“Great food and friendly service!!!“

“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.“

“Nice atmosphere. Both pictures groups. I love Pink floyd beetles“

“Effes is one of the best hidden gems of New Brunswick. The coffee has me wondering where they source their beans from because it is so rich and flavorful. Have to give a shoutout to the barista Jules. The coffee she makes is consistently great and has never disappointed. Her service is outstanding and her energy perks everyone up. She is the reason Effes is my favorite New Brunswick Cafe.“

“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 :)“

“Great food, and the ambiance is beyond reproach.“

“The food is delicious and the atmosphere is great. Service can be a tad iffy at times. They'll offer you cilantro sauce with the empanadas but not tell you it's $0.50. You ask for an egg with waffles, they give you two (and charge for two just to be clear). I wish that they were a little more clear about that kind of stuff.

The food really does make up for it though. Everything is super fresh, well made and seasoned. The empanadas give Division Street Cafe a run for their money. The waffles are proper waffles, not the Belgian ones everyone else has, and it's all just vibrant. The decor is really fun, and the people who work there are friendly. The price can be a bit nuts. Both times I've gone it's cost us $50 to feed two people, with one entree each, a drink for one of us, and a single empanada. That's a lot. The desserts are $10 each which is a bit nuts. I know everyone is charging a lot nowadays, but I don't have to be happy about it.“

“One of my favorite bakeries from now on. Love the pastries, drinks and the crew service is very good as well.“

“Good food goes a long way and Cozy has a wide variety of delicious, filling portions and quality food. Now what makes this experience even better its its amazing staff. As busy as Cozy gets, the staff never makes it feel rushed and always makes you feel welcome like your at home. Thanks for doing such an amazing job, AKA the Gravy Guy.“

“Popped in for lunch when picking up something nearby. I was really impressed! Nothing fancy just good food! Staff were so friendly and seemed to know everyone. I'll definitely be back!“

“More then food - kindness & 💜“

“Amazing Cinnamon Rolls. Perfectly baked dough, not over done. Extra Cinnamon, not the cheap stuff and plenty of sweet glaze for the top.“

“We have been coming to Okie Pokii for years but this time I have to leave a review. Food are still really good. There's a promotion for free snow ice or waffle with $50+ purchase and dining in. We picked the mango snow ice. We thought it was just going to be a small sample sized snow cup, but it's not! It's a full massive size (look at the picture). Kids were so happy about it ? the flavor was also very good ?“

“Great spot for a meeting! Great food and the best coffee!“

“Everything was always so fresh and tasty. The Staff goes out of their way for the Customers.“

“⭐️ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ FIVE STARS!! Huge shout out to, Tim! I had a rough weekend and needed some good food. He provided just that with a big smile and great customer service!!“

“Darren the team manager is such a friendly and accommodating person! Goes above and beyond. Unfortunately there are no lemon slices anymore at all Panera's, not specifically this one, which is just such a tragic loss. But overall, this Panera is great!“

“Always fresh. Great new salad. Asian chicken. RealtorPeggy“

“Friendly staff, my plate was finger lickings good like KFC says. Coffee nice and hot.

Parking: It's plenty of parking in the back of the restaurant and its metered street parking.

Wheelchair accessibility: Tables and the door open easy for wheelchair“

“We were looking for Brasilian salgadinhos to snack on during the Copa 2024 Brasil game. We found a large assortment at Cafe Cirino.
It’s a small place, with tables. A surprisingly large menu, with lots of choices. Gabriela took our order, which was made on the spot and well packaged for the trip home.
Paid parking across the street.“

“Is it crazy to call this the most underrated place in Piscataway?? No one knows about this gem inside the YMCA but their food is super tasty and fresh. Their açai bowls and smoothies are refreshing and delicious and perfect for the summer. Also this might be crazy but their chicken tenders might be the best I've ever had!! They're perfectly crispy and juicy and tender all at the same time. Would definitely recommend especially if you're at the Y hanging out or at the gym for a treat after!“

“Have not been here in a really long time. Well maintained mall. Has some unique shops, things for the kids to do, several full restaurants, we chose the Cheesecake Factory. We visited specifically because of Macy's. Needed dresses and they have the best selection around. Worth a visit if you haven't been.“

“Bought a hotdog and drink combo for the first time in years of skipping out, because it wasn’t tasty. Now the hotdog actually tastes good with beef, and it is about the size of the bun unlike before. The santa cookies sundae was good too. The pizza was good, tasty, hot, and best of all a shorter wait time than its competitor. They still need a server or two more for a quicker service.“

“Quality of the meat could’ve been a better restaurant choice as I believe I have the same sausage at home. Overall, came for the vibe on a really rainy day while I waited for my appointment time. I was still please with my sandwich and coffee but want to give it another try. Love this cafe!“

“Great atmosphere, friendly employees. Tried the avocado toast, they sprinkle crushed red pepper on the avocado and it gives it great flavor.“

“I had a very nice experience in this Branch of Panera , i wanted to try the different soups so Paul went and extra mile and gave me a platter sampler of all the available Soups ,I found that to be very Kind gesture.

So thanks Paul and Also the team here is good Joe and Heather makes an amazing vibe as well .“

“We stopped by Wood Craft Catering new-ish spot in Princeton Point this week. We had some of the brisket, pulled pork and falafel (there is this whipped feta that is omg good). Everything was so fresh and so good! The space is beautiful and there are even games for the kiddos. Thanks Chef Sal for perfect lunch!“

“Ordered a Brookly Pie tonight...$21 Had it delivered....$4.50 delivery fee!!!!! Paid with debit card....$1.08 fee Gave driver $7 tip = $35 for 1 pizza!!!!!!!! 1 pizza!!!!!!!! $5.58 in ridiculous charges. I'd rather you tack it onto the price. Then again, $21 for dough, sauce and cheese is already excessive by itself. And, not much sauce at all on my pie. You lost a loyal customer tonight.“

“I took my mother to eat there on a Saturday evening, and she was happy with how they made one of her favorite dish(Mondongo). I myself was surprised how good the fresh fried Talapia tasted. The price was reasonable compared to other restaurants, and it's in the heart of New Brunswick downtown. The only downfall is in this area. I recommend this restaurant to anyone who is on a tight budget as well. Big thumps up ?“
