“Usually I would walk past Chain restaurants since not a fan. I am an absolute fan however of any restaurant that has consistent great customer service on all fronts from supervisor to the kitchen crew. The cleanliness and layout also wonderful. They have self service if you are the type in a rush however my preference is to deal with people . I can only say be patient when waiting for someone to assist but overall great experience each time so far.”

“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).”

“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!”

“This is the best frozen yogurt I have ever had!! Always very fresh and creamy… the texture is more like ice cream than yogurt. It never disappoints…great flavors, including a no sugar added option, and assorted toppings, some of which are very healthy like blueberries, strawberries, and walnuts. I have been a customer since it opened15 years ago! The owner, Gary, is super nice and friendly. He recently did a makeover and the place is beautiful! There is comfortable seating inside and outdoor benches if you want to sit out on a nice day. Treating myself to a cup never fails to brighten my day. Stop in… you won’t be sorry!”

“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.”

“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.”
