Chestnut Café in downtown Nutley is such a gem!
I started off with a snickerdoodle coffee. For lunch, I had the spring chicken wrap with a side of fries and honestly, I loved every bite. The wrap was fresh, flavorful, and super satisfying, and the fries were the perfect crispy sidekick. Between the warm vibe of the café, sweetest staff, and the delicious food, this spot definitely won me over. Can't wait to come back!

I went there this morning with a friend and it's was new to both of us. Had an absolutely wonderful experience. The service was amazing and the food even better. They have a lovely indoor and outdoor seating selection. We ate inside and the place was very cute and cozy. Perfect especially for a Saturday morning. Would absolutely come back and tells friends and family about this place! Thank you to all of the employees and especially our waiter Tim!

This place is a rare gem, in that all of the elements that make it an experience are top notch! The food: you can’t go wrong with anything on this menu( although the croissant French toast , hungry human and eggs Benedict combos are top notch breakfast items ) the atmosphere - small town charm within a revamped Victorian setting decorated for each season. Let’s not forget the crew! They are all amazing and Tim is one of the nicest friendliest people you would ever meet! I’m...
