“Delicious coffee, and the staff is lovely!“

“Just came for a quick coffee break and ended up loving this place! Quiet, clean, spacious, and aesthetic cafe. Delicious bakery items (recommend the raisin pastry and chocolate croissant!) and coffee. Really lovely service! Plus, they display the train schedule on a TV so it's perfect for chilling while you wait for your train. And pastries are 50% off past 4pm :)“

“My first time trying them was amazing, my aunt, cousins along with myself did a coffee tasting there and everything was great!! I had the FFF (Triple F) with a HEC on brioche 🔥! Service was exceptional as well, definitely a comeback whenever I’m in NJ again“

“Great overall experience and the Energy in the water, the people and the atmosphere is OFF the charts!!!🎉🎉🎉“

“I simply LOVE this place. It not only has the best vegan sandwiches and desserts, the hospitality is amazing. Everyone is very friendly and welcoming. The only thing bad is that they are 45 minutes from me. I wish there was one closer to where I live. I would be going more often. I'm hoping one day they will become a franchise. I would definitely want to open a How Delish! ❤️“

“The atmosphere is warm and inviting. The decor facilitates a creative space for gathering with friends and colleagues.“

“Great coffee (best I've ever had), cozy atmosphere, great baristas.“

“Best brownie I’ve ever eaten was the Dubai kunafa brownie. They didn’t have any made and were kind enough to make me one, on the fly, since I couldn’t wait until later due to a flight. I cannot wait to come back to NYC so I can have more tasty treats“

“For a few years, this has been my go to spot when I'm in the Ironbound. Cool vibe and ambiance. Hit or miss on portion sizes. A very notable change over the years. The bacon side is way too small (two skinny slices). The avocado toast has significantly decreased in size but at the same price point, and it's often more cream cheese than avocado most times. Yet, and somewhat reminds me of being back in Brooklyn. Good coffee.“

“We ordered our Thanksgiving dinner this year from Comfort Kitchen Cafe and every single thing was delicious! The turkey was the best turkey everyone has had! Moist, delicious and was even carved to perfection. The mashed potatoes, stuffing, sweet potatoes, carrot and lasagna were amazing too. Oh and the salad! Everyone raved about the food and we will definitely be ordering again next year! Thank you for bringing this gem to Kinnelon!“

“We stopped by this café for a Saturday morning breakfast. The exterior was charming, which drew us in. Parking is street-only, so it can be tricky on busier days, but we lucked out.

I ordered a cortado—decent, nothing remarkable. I went with the avocado toast, which they’re apparently known for. It was as minimalist as it gets: a slice of ciabatta, olive oil, a generous amount of fresh avocado, salt, and pepper. No frills, but solid and satisfying. My friend had a multigrain croissant with sausage and egg—basic and hearty.

The café is mostly self-service, and while the vibe was relaxed, the service was quite slow. We even cleared our own table from the previous guests. It seemed a bit understaffed, but the food was fresh and filling. A cute local spot, though don’t expect speed or polish.“

“If you’re in the Montville/Boonton area, you’ve got to check out Howards mediterranean Café and Bagels — absolutely top-notch! Not only is the food legit, but the owner Karim went above and beyond to support us during our soft opening at Montville Pickleball & Golf Club. Much love to him for the hookup“

“Exceptional goods/services from EXCEPTIONAL people.

It makes me very happy that this exists in a town/area that means a lot to myself and many others.

I encourage everyone reading this, whether you are in the mood for food, milk tea, or other treats, they have you covered here and with a smile and great conversations.

Bless the owners of this establishment that have spent their lives making the lives of others better via their hard work and tasty recipes!!!“

“I always go to the one in south Orange. My son had training in Wayne. We wanted to grab something to eat familiar to us. And we order my son was excited it was the same familiar tastes. Im glad to know there are several locations of this Gem!“

“I love baking all the goodies we offer!!“

“Beautiful hidden gem! My latte was amazing and the atmosphere & vibe is out of this world! You’ve got to stop in today if you haven’t been yet! I got the salted honey latte with oat milk. It was such a treat & then I enjoyed it in the library lounge. I also scored a pair of beautiful earrings from their gift shop 💛⭐️🌙✨⚡️“

“This is my favorite cafe!! Every barista is so cool, I love the atmosphere when I come to do work here, and the coffee is delicious. The consistency is the same no matter who makes my drink and I love that! The prices are totally reasonable and the selection is perfect. I love the seasonal beverage options. 10/10 love you, eagle rock cafe! ♡“

“Our server Jose was great. Food was delicious, fresh and substantial portions. Highly recommend. Since so popular be prepared to wait on the weekends but well worth it!

Parking: We were lucky enough to get a spot in front of the restaurant as someone was pulling out. There are parking spots throughout that section.“

“Best pour over ever!!☕️☕️☕️🙂“

“Such warm & friendly service promotes a great atmosphere 👍“

“Finally, I hit this spot after getting a recommendation for years. Even though I'm not a fan of their hot chocolate, I'm satisfied with their pastries. Especially, the brownies are phenomenal and becoming my reason to revisit. Unfortunately, I didn't have any pictures of the brownies cuz I couldn't wait to have them right away lol... They are sold in 2 different packs (4 full ones and 6 half ones)“

“Fantastic drip coffee. Delicious cheddar scallion scone.

Close quarters that could be cozy or overbearing depending on time and mood: 3 tables (2 seats each), 2 loungers (tight space in the back), one bench by the entrance.

Definitely will be back for the coffee and pastries!“

“The guy that works there is amazing, patient and nice! By far the only employee that actually make sure he’s getting the orders correct. He’s amazing!

The owner made my drink a month or so ago & gave me the wrong bubbles I asked for regular and she ended up giving me brown sugar and said can I come back the next day she will give me a free one lol long story short she wasn’t there the next day because I bring my daughter to this location and she was too lazy to fix my drink the day she messed it up. I get she was overwhelmed by working alone and having a lot of people ordering but she has to do better as an OWNER! I have a business myself and it’s a lot of things I do not do because you have to be professional.“

“Lunch was absolutely great. I would definitely go again!“

“Shoutout to Lightbulb Coffee Shop! Awesome Iced Coffee with oat milk and a Dirty Chai! We will be back!!“

“Personally I like there iced teas better than there coffees but I’m picky when it comes to coffee but there breakfast and treats are phenomenal so so good hands down must try the beignets“

“This little mom-and-pop coffee shop is such a cozy gem! The iced coffee is absolutely delicious—smooth, and perfectly done—but it’s the atmosphere that really makes it special. It gives off that laid-back, lounge-with-a-book kind of vibe, with ceramic painting in the back (so cute!) and a few board games scattered around. Whether you’re coming for brunch, bringing the kids, or planning a low-key date, it’s the kind of place that feels warm, welcoming, and effortlessly charming.“

“Had a terrible experience today. They gave me the wrong sandwich. Tried to call them to send me a new one but all you get is a voicemail. Emailed them and even messaged them on Instagram and they never responded. So I was stuck at work all day without any food or any reimbursement“

“Best ice cream shop in Essex County if not the entire state of NJ. You can taste the difference in quality, creaminess, ingredients, no artificial flavors. Small micro batches made with natural ingredients and real flavors. Great owner and staff. Very nice people who go above and beyond to help create a wonderful experience. Small space but the flavor is large. They are getting ready to launch their second storefront in Lyndhurst. Go check them out. You won’t be disappointed. Favorite flavors include: Strawberry Baklava Chocolate But all are incredibly good!“

“The atmosphere is chill and I really like the Airplane vibe. The Airline seats really give it a nice touch. Coffee was great! Also love that old style Airline ticker on the wall. Will be back.“

“Wonderful chill vibe, great teas, coffees, and pastries. Demetri and Saska have created a lovely refuge for food, conversation, Music and Art!“

“George's was amazing to work with. They were more than willing to help me plan a nice breakfast spread for my students...complete with full platters of scrambled eggs, bacon, sausage, pancakes, hash browns, fruit... They were kind enough to help me pack my car as well. I would HIGHLY recommend them! 👌 👍“

“Just ran out of beans, so I made a quick trip to grab a couple fresh bags. The owner told me they now get deliveries every Tuesday—love that! Even better, the beans come from a local roaster, so they’re super fresh. I picked up an Ethiopian Yirgacheffe and another bag specifically for espresso. Just pulled a shot, and it came out amazing.“

“The coffees were strong and tasty. The avocado toast was well made with a nice side salad. Parking could be an issue but we went a Sunday morning and we found parking with no problem. It is inside the apartment complex but it had lots of areas to sit in. Our food and drinks came pretty quickly, even though it was busy.“

“Love Curiosity! Delicious, fresh and well priced food. The garden provides a great atmosphere. The staff is so friendly and the owner treats you like an old friend as soon as you walk in. Highly recommend Curiosity for your dining experience.“

“The Tortillas with Cafe con leche. Great people that work there. They are very nice to you. Love it 😊“

“7 scoops has the best ice cream and it is reasonably priced! The staff is so friendly and helpful as well. Orla is fantastic! I highly recommend 7 scoops!“

“the people where very kind, the drinks where delicious, y ellos hablan en Español, Portuguese, y English! I love it! I'll definitely be back“
