18 Best Cafes in Princeton

“Ginger cardamom scones! Actually, all the scones are delicious. Coffee beans are roasted in a facility in Rocky Hill. Our favorite is the dark roast. Shop local!“

“They have upped their game. Ingredients, food and service are excellent (wish they had "real" steel cut oatmeal, but if I am the only one, never mind). We had 5 folks ordering a variety of items and the results were delicious. Need to go here more!

Vegetarian options: Lots of vegetarian or even vegan options and the folks are open and helpful.

Dietary restrictions: Just diacuss with them. They will take care of you!

Parking: There are spots available if one knows where and how to look. It's also a great place to walk or bike to. Close to two hotels!“

“I’ve been here a few times and it has never disappointed. Not only are the pastries delicious, the atmosphere is incredible and that is all due to the staff! Very good service and everytime i’ve been the place has been nice and tidy. Clean and pretty environment and comfy. I definitely recommend coming here!!!“

“Great service, very good quality of food“

“I have been going to Chucks for wings since 1985.
Went today after a long time and they were just as good as I remembered.
I went for the 14 piece wings. Recommend

Parking: Right next door is a parking garage.
Free for 30 minutes, I was in and out, so parking was free and a short walk.“

“Food , service , ambiance was wonderful .“

“Ordered Elisa’s bowl and a coffee to go. It was a tasty meal full of nutritious, delicious ingredients. Loved seeing the colorful bowl. The packaging is beautiful and adds elegance to takeout - the bag, coffee cup, etc. The coffee was a bit light for me but smooth.“

“Homey restaurant with fresh handmade pasta, you can choose the type of pasta and then the sauce, they have good desserts and a good cappuccino, the atmosphere is very nice and the service is very good, it is a good place to go with your family and partner“

“Best-value and best tasting coffee offered around campus/town - an important accolade when even the campus-run outlets are draining bank accounts for very basic offerings. Important for new or unfamiliar campus staff to know that all are welcome, even though it is in the basement of the "Campus Club" building.“

“too expensive, horrible service, arrogant and ignorant staff. unless you have 15 minutes to wait for a simple coffee and muffin while these igorant people commiserate with college students, dont bother patronizing this place. $15 for muffin, coffee and tip makes Starbucks seem inexpensive.“

“I've driven past this place plenty of times but only recently did I discover it. After seeing the reviews and all the critical acclaim, I decided to go ahead and see what the hype was about, and I was not disappointed. This is honestly a fantastic, lowkey, hidden gem of a coffee shop in the Princeton area. It was quiet, not busy at all, and the barista was super sweet and hospitable! There's plenty of good options of coffee to choose from, as well as tea, acai, and other snacks. I got the Hot Spicy Maya Mocha, and it was great. A super nice blend of coffee, chocolate, and creaminess. Every sip was blissful and delicious! Most coffee is just okay, but this coffee truly made my soul feel warm and cozy. I'm definitely coming back more times in the future! People who live in the neighborhood/community that this coffee shop is located in are really lucky to be walking distance from what is probably the best coffee I've had in Princeton! If you ever frequent Princeton Junction, or regularly commute to the train station, I highly recommend you stop by!“

“Dietary restrictions: Vegan and g.f. options!

Parking: Multi-level lot is right next to library

Kid-friendliness: OK to make some noise even though part of the library; also easy to take food to tables outside where kids can play“

“Came here with my girlfriend as we are trying breakfast sandwiches in the area and I was pleasantly surprised. The sandwiches are the best we've had in the area. Everything was freshly made and with real ingredients. The bacon in particular was obviously just cooked for the order. The roll was fresh and everything was well seasoned. Overall, I highly recommend!“

“We ate brunch on the upstairs terrace. We ordered the duck spring rolls, the spicy chicken sandwich, prosciutto benny, and salmon farro salad. Everything was delicious.

Parking: Small parking lot behind the building, off of the side street.“

“We stopped by Wood Craft Catering new-ish spot in Princeton Point this week. We had some of the brisket, pulled pork and falafel (there is this whipped feta that is omg good). Everything was so fresh and so good! The space is beautiful and there are even games for the kiddos. Thanks Chef Sal for perfect lunch!“

“I miss my friends at panera, Stay well and ill see you when this is all over!“

“Just had an UberEATS delivery of 10 empanadas for our office. I don't leave reviews often, but this place deserves to be put on the positive list! We ordered, Beef, Chicken, Veggie, Greek, and BBQ Pulled Pork empanadas - all were amazing! All 6 of my coworkers loved their food and we agreed that we will certainly order again. Thank you!“

“what an amazing experience at the bread boutique today!! I think the associate said her name was Julie or Jolie. But she was AMAZING she greeted me so nicely, chatted with me as I put in my order and offered me water with ice while I waited for my order. Thank you!! I'll definitely be returning.“
