“Looooved the atmosphere at this cute Puerto Rican owned cafe. The coquito latte?! AMAZING. My friend got the avocado toast and I got the breakfast sandwich on Mexican bread. 9/10! The only downfall was that people were comfortably seated and no one was really policing the tables, but my friend and I finally got a seat and were able to enjoy the experience a little better.“

Come on down they are open everyday except Tuesday THE FOOD IS SUPERB.....“

“Delicious Caesar salad, chicken pot pie (and chocolate donut). Coffee was really good too.“

“We just moved to the neighborhood and decided to try a new spot. We were not disappointed. Not only were they the nicest people when my husband went to pick up the food but the food was super delicious. Completely homemade and tasty and warm. When I don’t feel like cooking I know where we are going. Thank you Congers Diner!“

“I love everything about this place! The food is outstanding and the staff are amazing! Shout out to Christa, who is the soul of the place, and Cory, who goes above and beyond (crayons & paper for my little one). The cafe is a second home to me :-)“

“Great customer service. The people who work there are knowledgeable and they have the best stock of bikes around. At 5’1” no one ever has bikes in my size. Not only did Piermont have a bike, they had 4 for me to test. Sunny also told me the size I originally thought I needed was too big and his recommendation for the smaller frame was spot on. I ended up with a 44 cm Cannondale Evo and couldn’t be happier.“

“great new coffee shop! The staff is super nice the younger woman and the older woman always have a smile on their faces, which makes the place feel really welcoming. The service is fast and friendly, and the whole shop has a clean, modern vibe. Definitely a great spot to grab coffee and relax in paterson“

“Lifelong Palisades resident, and have loved the 9W Market/The Filling Station since it opened back in 2011! A HUGE improvement over the previous ownership when it was called the Palisades Market which opened in the spring of 2010 and was only open for a few months and then closed. I was so disappointed with the Palisades Market because it lacked a decent food selection and this community needed something so much more. Luckily, the owners of the 9W Market have done such an amazing job! I’ve never had a bad meal here! The ingredients are high quality and super fresh! The atmosphere and ambiance is very relaxing and tranquil! Love the bistro theme on the indoor side and picnic theme by the filling station burger stand. Not to mention, the burgers are the best I’ve ever had! Made with high quality grass fed beef! This is gourmet nyc restaurant style food right in our local neighborhood! Keep up the great work!“

“Built in 1937 and originally known as “Lookout Inn, my partner and I decided to stop at the State Line Lookout Cafe after a nice hike for a bite. This casual establishment is a throwback to yesteryear inside a nice stone cabin with fireplaces to warm up during cold weather and the only restaurant/cafe around in the nearby area.

I was greeted by the young staff. Their simple menu is a little diverse, from breakfast sandwiches, various burgers, and hot dogs to fries, but nothing too fancy.

We decided on a cheeseburger, a tuna fish salad sandwich, large fries to share, and drinks for takeout.

Service was friendly and quick. Prices are quite reasonable, and the food was hot, freshly prepared, and tasty.

We can recommend it.“

“ambiance, quality of coffee and sandwiches, friendly barista, good location!“

“The place is nice with great ambience people go there to do their work and relax the coffee is great but I didn't rank the food because I only went in for a cup of coffee and left to take the train one of these days I'll go there for a bite to eat and rate the food plus they supposedly have a craft beer menu gotta try that. But every time I pass by this place there is always people in there and sometimes they have some story telling events.“

“האוכל היחס המקום הכל 10 ממליצה החום“

“A huge variety coffee,and tea Awsome! its exactly what we needed in the area.“

“THE FOOD IS EXCELLENT!!“

“great place to have a breakfast and dinner“

“Tried this new cafe on my way home. They have parking which is great since they are on a main road. The inside is super cute and def picture worthy. Service was good. Greeted upon entering and then made a great recommendation when I asked for one. I got the coconut latte and it was so good. If you like coconut this one is it for you! Sweet yet strong. Great value for the price especially in today’s economy. Will be coming back in the future to try other items. I also love that God is in their decor.“

“This small shop makes the best (bacon) egg + cheese sandwiches around that area.The owners know what I want after I've not been there for months at a time, and have been like that since my first visit. They are always friendly and quick with my order.They have Coffee Roasters coffee, a favorite of mine, but they rarely make decaf, if that's what you're after.It is a tiny shop with limited seating, you'll probably be more comfortable in your car or back home, but there's always news on the tv to keep you amused, should you sit and eat.Park in the Rite-Aid lot or on the side street. They're 2 blocks from the train, and there's plenty of small places to shop or investigate nearby.“

“Just Perfect“

“The name doesn’t tell you the reality of this place! The staff is lovely and they serve breakfast lunch and dinner in addition to being an ice cream shop. A wonderful place for a quick meal in the cutest little shop. It’s adorable. A true mom & pop hidden gem on Main Street. I love having breakfast & a coffee here.“

“Stumbled upon this place by chance and couldn’t have been happier! The food is absolutely delicious — fresh, flavorful, and clearly made with care. The new owner and staff are incredibly friendly and go out of their way to make you feel welcome. You can tell they put a lot of heart and passion into running this place, and it really shows in both the service and the atmosphere. Highly recommend stopping by if you're in the area — it's a hidden gem worth discovering!“

“The Impossible Burger is wonderful! All menu items and baked goods look terrific, so hard to choose.“

“This place is super duper clean!!!!! They clean the whole place every 50 minutes. Durning playtime you will see staff wiping down toys too. Bathrooms are clean. There are adults bathroom and kids bathroom too. There is a changing room table too to change diapers. There is hand sanitizer stations. Staff is very friendly and they try to get to know the kids. They are always happy and smiling. The eating area is clean. You can order snacks or small hot food to eat. We love the Mickey Mouse waffle on the stick. It’s super cute for the kids to eat. If we lived closer or if my kid doesn’t freak out in a car ride, we would come here everyday to play. It’s an amazing place for the kids to play. We love everything in this place.“
