12 Best Cafes in Palisades Park

“I had a friend come in from the Midwest & needed quick breakfast. We came across Chinos as an option & decided to try due to amazing reviews. This place is easily accessible, spacious, extremely clean, organized etc... plenty of food options available. Menu was affordable. Customer service was fantastic & above/beyond. I've never been served food directly to the table at spots like this. Typically they call you up to the counter to take it. Great experience & would most definitely return when back in the area.

Btw those drinks are better than Starbucks! If they had a separate location just for drinks & pastries... I would most definitely be there. #supportsmallbusiness“

“Cafe Oak Never disappoints. The staff is great and very attentive. Nadia & Paul are great and extremely generous! 👍👍“

“Press sandwich chain from South Korea. I have been a customer since they open many years ago. They have both sweet and savory options, their bulgogi beef and spicy chicken are my favorite. The staff has changed over the years but they have always been very friendly and service is always pretty fast. A lot of also people come here for their sweetened ice coffee, which I find to be a treat. They also offer bakery items as well as premade cold-cut sandwiches and gimbab (Korean rice roll). I recently notice them having Portuguese-style egg tarts too. It's located in the hart of downtown Palisades Park. Street parking only and sometimes it's hard to come by.“

“Appreciation post😃 Since 4 days my freshly turned teenage daughter has been saying one thing when I ask her what you want to do on New Year’s Eve …” I want to have kudos bubble tea as the last thing I drink in 2022”. It’s been a tough few months for her and i wanted to make sure she gets her wish. So yesterday morning I called kudos. Asked when they will close for the day. They said 10pm. We scheduled all our plans in such a way that at 9pm we go and get the much anticipated bubble tea. At 9 my husband, son and daughter headed out to kudos… only to find that they have closed at 7 for a private event. This is my back story. On the other side of the story… which probably has its own back story… Cherie the owner had shut the bakery as her daughter wanted to celebrate with her friends and family. As a mother myself I can totally understand that. When she saw my family she informed them that they are closed. But when she heard we had called in morning and saw my daughters dejected face… she opened her doors. Made a quick bubble tea and even gave some extra cookies as a New Years treat. My kids came back so happy saying “mommy it was a holiday miracle!” Thank you Kudo Society Cafe. For providing us one last 2022 miracle. Thank you Cherie for understanding. We have been Kudos patrons since it was at palisades park but now we are die hard advocating neighbors of yours. Ps: pic of the cookie treat. My son ate the red velvet on way home.“

“Best place for Bingsoo!!!! 🥰🥰🥰“

“This is genuinely good Guatemalan food. We had the beef soup and ordered steak also but the portions of meat in the soup was so generous we didn’t even get too the steaks so we took them home. Service was very friendly and accommodating and the atmosphere was very informal. Some guys were watching soccer on the big screen tv and others were sitting alone, no one bothered anyone. I’m definitely going back for that soup as the winter sets in harder.

Parking: It’s general street parking with meters I believe are only active on weekdays“

“This place is a local hidden gem. There isn’t shortage of mega bakeries and Korean cafes in Fort Lee and Palisades Park. But to me, this place stands out.

It looks like the owner of this cafe put his/her soul and spirit into everything in the cafe. From little interior props to utensils to home made madeleines. All beverages and the food, even boiled eggs and spicy kimbop, were super tasty. And the best : this place is relatively quiet. I’ve been longing for a cafe like this for a long time. I will be a frequent visitor.“

“I had the pleasure of visiting with my friends tonight for my birthday party. Not only was the staff super friendly and extremely helpful, but my friends and I had a night to remember. The café was clean and the food looked and tasted amazing. As far as the karaoke room went, the space was clean and they had a HUGE selection of music (something I don't see enough reviews talking about because that was a HUGE reason my friends had a great time.) All of my friends and I all had no problem finding music we wanted to sing the staff made it so easy to understand how to setup. I am ABSOLUTELY coming back whenever I get the chance. The prices are fair, the food and drinks are fantastic and this staff is so helpful and friendly. Thank you again Cafe SSUM for a night to remember!“

“We had a great time at Miel! Tried the Bingsuu and the egg sandwich, and both were amazing. The ice in Bingsuu is really something special, super soft, and perfect for any ice cream lover. It's definitely a must-try if you're a fan of frozen treats! The staff working there were also really cool and friendly, which made the experience even better. Highly recommend stopping by!“

“Good place to chill and get bubble tea after spa at King Spa! Huge interior to chill and relax! Location: It is located in Palisades Park. The store is big with a lot of seating! The interior is nice and you can feel that you want to study inside. Service: not that much interaction, i just ordered and go. Food: I only ordered BLACK SESAME BUBBLE TEA: it was good, and unlike other slushies that after a while you lost the taste. This one until the end you can taste the black sesame. They have wide variety of breads too, and I think they are good. Price rating: 5/10, not that bad. I will go there after spending my whole day at King Spa! Nice store to chill and relax.“

“Went for brunch on a Sunday. Food is consistently good but the service is slow due to understaffing. NOT the staffs' fault. They were doing the best they could and our server, Luis was courteous and attentive despite being overworked. Music was tad bit too loud.“

“Cozy cafe and their mugs are cute. I had their French vanilla coffee which was subtle and had a nice aroma.“
