10 Best Cafes in Ridgewood

“I have to say that everything I have had so far was just delicious! Staff is super friendly and they are very thoughtful. Love the ginger shots too. I recommend the Burrata, Spicy Crab, and Avocado Smash.“

“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“

“Stopped by Blue Ridge Cafe and was pleasantly surprised! I didn’t realize it was a Greek cafe OR that they served Greek treats and everything we tried was delicious. The spinach pie is absolutely to die for—fresh, flavorful, and perfectly made. The food, atmosphere, and service were all wonderful. Definitely looking forward to coming back and trying more from the menu!“

“I highly recommend White Maple. The food is always fresh, flavorful, and beautifully prepared, and the service is consistently professional, attentive, and welcoming. I come here often, and every visit has been a great experience.

A special thank-you to Maria, who is always so kind, friendly, and welcoming. She truly makes every visit even more enjoyable.

The quality of both the food and the overall experience is outstanding. White Maple is one of those places you genuinely look forward to coming back to. Highly recommend!“

“Ridgewood Coffee Company is a wonderful place to relax, study, or get some work done. The atmosphere is bright, cozy, and comfortable, and the coffee is fresh and delicious. It is a great choice for anyone looking for a quiet place to study while enjoying a tasty cup of coffee. I highly recommend checking it out!“

“I'm a barista in France and discovered this place by accident while visiting. Great coffee and friendly staff ! Love the synesso ! took some Kenyan AA Kaibu and Rwandan back to France for cupping it with coworkers :) Way better than the "blue pretencious stuff" you can find in the city ;)“

“Best cafe and pastry shop ever.“

“I have to admit, my expectations weren’t all that high going in, but this place completely caught me off guard. As soon as you walk through the doors, the atmosphere feels warm and inviting, and they did a great job with the build out.

We ordered a few different plates, and every one of them was packed with flavor. Everything was well seasoned, fresh, and really tasty.

It’s not often a restaurant surprises me like this, but this one definitely did. I’ll absolutely be back.“

“This remains one of my favorite restaurants in Ridgewood. Not only is the food delicious (the pancakes for brunch are simply the best to be found anywhere) and the ambiance exudes a level of elegance and attention to detail such as in the chef’s presentation that sets it above the norm and the service is top notch as well!“

“Some of the best pancakes I have had in a while, perfect size everything about it was great including the service“
