“Friendly and wonderful attention“

“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!“

“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“

“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).“

“Amazing service, food, and atmosphere! Dining at Pink Pistachio Cafe was such a beautiful experience. Mariam was very attentive and helpful. For drinks ordered the mango mojito and pink matcha lattes. For lunch we enjoyed the fresh chipotle chicken sandwhiches. Cannot wait to come back again and order afternoon tea and desserts.“

“Been wanting to try this spot and so happy that I got the chance today. Cute interior and nice staff. Tried the signature pistachio latte and it was absolutely delicious. Highly recommend. Cannot wait to try out other items on the menu next time!

Now for my standard comments. Location is clean and well kept. Comfortable indoor seating. Open parking out front.“

“Great menu great atmosphere and excellent prices , the owners and staff super friendly“

“As I run in to grab my order, I see the prized pistachio latte And think to myself: ‘Yup, it’ll definitely taste good’ Ps. Please bring the tiramisu latte back.“

“Great food and friendly service!!!“

“This place is amazing so glad I found it! Was in the hunt for a good smoothie place. My hunt is officially over. five stars recommend.“

“Beautiful place . Excellent service - fantastic food and beautiful atmosphere !!!“

“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!“

“Loved the shroom sando and the cold brew“

“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!“

“All around wonderful first experience at Safwa. Genuinely one of the best coffees I’ve ever had, and I’m not even a coffee drinker! I also ordered a panini sandwich which was delightful. Their specialty sauce is a creamy spicy mustard, which paired well with their thick-cut turkey. A great place to socialize and study, and while busy, service was still great! Will definitely be returning soon.“

“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!“

“Great mixed black bean burger“

“Great cafe and caterer! Use them for all my catering needs.“

“delicious food, great service!!!!!“

“I went to this cafe for the first time with my friends and I found it very enjoyable. The poke bowls and tea are delicious although it can be a bit pricey. They have 3 ordering stations and private seating places which are perfect for studying but a bit dark lowkey. They also have free water which is a blessing. Parking is also easy to find🙏.“

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

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

“Absolutely stunning experience! Arden was so friendly and helpful right off the bat - they had a ton of recommendations, so it was easy to work through my options. After I ordered, I made my way to the eating area, which was bright, airy and clean. Service was very fast and I had my (absolutely delicious) latte in just a couple minutes.

The cake prices are actually super reasonable for what you get as well. If you’ve got a sweet tooth, you’ve got to come here. I wish I lived closer, because I would come here much more often! They do offer savory bites as well, which I’ll try next time 😋“

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

“I was doing another errand around the area and needed coffee but didn’t want Dunkin.

This place looks like a rest stop restaurant. It’s connected to a pizzeria and bakery i think.

But I will say……. I had the BEST cold brew here. So flavorful and had sugar free syrups!

I got the cold brew with oatmilk and sugar free vanilla syrup and I finished the whole thing!

I typically only drink half my coffee due to acid reflux but man, the woman who made my drink. THANK YOU.

It was so delicious and definitely will be coming back if I am in the area.“

“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 :)“

“Wood Craft catered an event at Princeton during reunions and it was fantastic. I had pulled pork, ribs, chicken, and mac n cheese. Fantastic, tasty, tender. I took their card and hope to get my department at work to order from them.“

“Lifehack - although you need a membership to use the facilities inside the YMCA, anyone can come in and get their snack fix (workout optional).

Its a small cafe, but offers enough essentials. They sell pizzas, empandas, burgers, fries... as well healthy juice bar and variety drink options.

But their main feature is the acai bowls - acai, pitahaya or coconut base options. There's a handful of pre-built choices (loaded with fruits, granola, nutella or peanut butter) or create your own. Quick and efficient and beautifully prepared... our Berrytella and Dragon Kiwi bowls came out fresh and delicious.

Will definitely be back, and might even convince me to actually use the gym.“

“Great breakfasts. World-class home fries!“

“After a long and frustrating trip, the last thing I wanted to do was get back in the car and drive to get food. I order a glass of red wine which the waitress generous filled. I decided after staring the menu for a while on the hummas and pita. The hummas was really good and the pitas were nice and warm. I was pleasantly surprised by how good it was.“

“It’s always nice and clean. And the staff is very helpful. I just love this place always buying what I don’t really need😊“

“More then food - kindness & 💜“

“Great food !! I definitely recommend this place 👍🏻“

“Loved this LA café! The vibe is super chill and stylish, perfect for hanging out or getting some work done. The coffee was rich and smooth, and everything tasted fresh. The staff was friendly and welcoming, which made the experience even better. It’s a great spot to relax, people-watch, or start your day in Los Angeles. Definitely coming back!“

“The food options were limited but not bad at all, the vibe is good. I wanted to sit around but then decided to have take away. The guy at the counter was good and friendly. He offered options and suggestions on what could I have, as I’m vegetarian. Liked it quite a bit for sure.“

“Una experiencia maravillosa“

“There were 3 of us
2 had the breakfast Sami #1…. It was Huge, taste was on point!! So yummy. Highly recommend
The other ordered Waffles with bacon and eggs…. Eggs done perfect! Waffles were so crisp and soft it was steaming at the table.
Bacon perfectly cooked.
(we are picky bacon people)😬

Coffee was smooth and hot.

Server was on time and very pleasant to us.

Highly recommend for a wonderful breakfast.

Very eclectic, fun place!
You need to check out the game area 🤗🤗🤗“

“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.“

“Un excelente servicio y los desayunos 🧇 💯“

“This place was so great to discover! I went to a Dr’s appointment and this was close by. So cozy and comfy, really good vibe with a super nice Barrista/Cook/Server/Owner making sure his product is top notch and his customers are welcome and happy with their meal. I had a beautiful freshly made bagel cream cheese veggie and lox sandwich and a cappuccino that really hit the spot!“

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

“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 find myself going to Panera bread pretty often during lunch as a healthy option that I can pick as well as affordable. I've also joined the sip club because I find that it's a great value for getting my coffee caffeine in the morning as well as during lunch time.“
