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“

“Just had brunch at White Maple Cafe. This place has such a beautiful, cozy atmosphere, in the middle of the lovely town of Ridgewood. We had the chicken wings, short rib benedict, and sandwiches. All the food is extremely high quality, delicious, and tastes like it was made with love! The owner Maryam is the most kind, welcoming, and caring host, as well as a great barista! I highly recommend this place for any occasion. Support this business - they deserve all the love!“

“I had such a lovely experience at Blue Ridge! One of the owners, Denisse, took care of me and was incredibly warm and welcoming. She shared that it’s a family-owned business, which makes the atmosphere feel even more special.

I tried the iced latte, made with excellent-quality coffee, as well as the chocolate chip banana muffin and the chocolate cake. Both were absolutely delicious, gluten-free, and baked by Denisse herself. The shop is spotless, conveniently located, and clearly run with a lot of care. I highly recommend it!“

“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 ;)“

“Staff is attentive, hard working, committed to quality, and very friendly. Owner Terry is hands on and roasts some beautiful exotic beans in a very refined manner. Coffee, espresso, and specialty coffees are all perfectly balanced. Food is absolutely delicious on a very smart and heath minded food menu,“

“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.“

“Food was off the chart. We split the zucchini sticks and they were amazing and crunchy. Came with two dipping sauces. Then we split two entrees. The short rib ravioli and the chicken piccata. Both were excellent. The only reason I have 4 stars was for how busy they were. Our server took our order, dropped food when it was ready and never checked in until it was time to pay. But we understand. There were only a few tables full when we started but it was a full house by the time we're leaving. All in all, great night!“

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