Coffee Shops near Riverdale

“Lianne was very good, she toasted my bagel very well and put I nice amount of cream cheese. Bareka was very kind also she made my hot chocolate very nice and did a good ratio of whip cream and the drink. The store look very clean and then I noticed Amanda sweeping and mopping, I even complimented her on it.“

“Service here can be hit or miss but usually a good experience - glad to have a SB close to home. Barista Taylor should be recognized. I travel often and regularly visit Starbucks all over the place. She is the hardest working, most diligent, efficient Starbucks employee I have seen!“

“TLDR: spacious and fantastic service Tuesday (6:30pm)Table for 3 I wouldn't write a review for a Dunkin' Donuts, but felt the need to for this location because of the great service we received! They have the same menu items as any other DD. We ordered the cheddar bagel twist, chive & onion stuffed bagel minis, and a frozen matcha latte. They only had 1 chive & onion bagel mini left so to compensate, they gave us that plus 2 plain ones. We were seated at a table and they brought the matcha latte out to us and apologized for the wait (although we weren't waiting that long) and offered us a complimentary donut. Really appreciate the friendly service!“

“Named one of the top 50 places to eat in North Jersey in 2023, this family-owned establishment, named after the owner’s sister, offers Mediterranean cuisine and much more. I came to this Taste the Top like a Yelp Elite event today thanks to Sarah and her team. Located in Wayne off of Valley Road, Jackie Small is a bright, comfortable, and cozy eatery with 13 two-seater tables open during breakfast and lunch. There was no wait upon entering and being greeted by the staff, Hector. Their menu, inspired by traditional Middle Eastern recipes, is vast, featuring their popular shawarma grain bowl, Greek salad, as well as French toast, avocado toast, grilled cheese, blueberry pancakes, veggie bowls, BLT's, etc. It's first come, first served, as one orders at the counter, has a seat, and they'll deliver your food to your table. I decided on Smalls Scramble consisting of 3 eggs soft-scrambled, Gruyere cheese, roasted tomatoes, truffle home fries, and multi-grain toast. To wash it down, I went for the Mango Supreme smoothie (mango nectar, strawberry, banana, honey, and pineapple). The food was perfect—great portions and very good quality. The smoothie was delicious and refreshing. This place checked all the boxes, which I can recommend.“

“They make their food fresh and they really impressed me. Their food was also really delicious and I will go back there. The people there were also very nice. Their store was also clean and comfortable.I can tell that they are also hard workers because that can be tiring.Parking: There was parking space that were close to the store.Kid-friendliness: They were really nice.“

“Pour City Roasters is the best coffee around. So much better then the big chain places. Jimi, Allison and family make you feel at home when you go in. The service is excellent and they treat you like family. The coffee is like nothing you have ever had. Go have a cup and you will not be “

“Stopped in for the first time over the weekend and was very happy with our visit! The pastries/pies we tried were all very delicious and tasted like they were made from quality ingredients. Everyone that worked there were also super friendly and helpful. It was hard not to leave with additional goodies that I wasn’t originally intending on!“

“Absolutely a gem of a place! My daughter got a Cookie Monster milkshake and I got the most delicious mousse cake. Honestly there were so many choices we had to play Ennie Meenie Miney Mo to choose which one to get. Not pictured: the chocolate cupcake she devoured in 2 seconds. Run, don't walk, to Soulmate Cafe.“

“Great new find in Montville that delivers tasty and authentic Mediterranean food. The place was clean with friendly staff. We ordered the gyros and hummus and they were more than enough for two and reasonable priced too. Will be coming back soon“

“In addition to delicious food and beautiful ambiance, the service was top notch. As a new mom you worry how your toddler is going to act in a restaurant. Lylia was so personable and playful with our little one. she was attentive to our needs and helped put us at ease.“

“Took a second to find this place, but glad we did. Met the owner who personally makes the ice cream from locally sourced ingredients and with no artifical flavoring. Great tasting and not overly sweet or heavy. Perfect balance of freshness and flavor. This place really is one of best icream spots around.“

“I met a friend for dinner in Boonton and he asked if I've ever been to Boonton Coffee Co. When I said "no" he said "you gotta try this coffee". We walked over and I ordered an iced vanilla latte, just like I've done at Starbucks for well over a decade. Long story short, this place has ruined Starbucks for me. The quality and flavor of their coffee is unmatched. With all due respect to Folgers Freeze Dried coffee, that's what Starbucks now tastes like in comparison. If the owners are reading this...please let me know if you're considering another location. I'd definitely invest.“

“Wow!! So we had a group of 8 and was pouring rain so looking for a takeout place. Found Tacos Polos because it was only 5 minutes away. We ordered tons of food for pickup. The price was great and the quality and amount for the price was unbelievable. We ordered a 30 tacos combo ?they were amazing. Everything was so good. We are so happy we found an amazing takeout place nearby.“

“Defying Gravitea is a cute spot for breakfast, coffee/tea, or some little sweets. My mom and I stopped in early one morning and the owner Gina was super friendly and welcoming. The menu is entirely gluten/dairy free and as someone who is not gluten or dairy free, I believe the food was just as tasty, if not better! I had a pot of Rise + Glow tea and French toast. Will definitely be back!“

“I absolutely love the atmosphere in here. I noticed it was pretty packed, has great live music (they even played Neil Young!), a lot of options such as cranberry apple tea, a robot, and great artwork. The patrons seem polite and it has a slightly upscale, but laid back, vibe. It is gender inclusive!Parking: It gets packed“

“I’ve been going to this place since it open- it’s wonderful place - best flat white in our area hands down - probably the whole menu is excellent- it’s just I’ve been drinking same drink for years. Same exact drink lol. Place has vibe and Dave is absolutely amazing at bringing whole community together. There is always something going on there - check their instagram- Dave keep you posted on everything ?? my favorite option is that u can order through and app and ur drink is ready when u come - cuz I’m always on a run ☺️“

“I feel compelled to comment on the one-star reviews regarding the accusations of racism, as I find it deeply unsettling. The criticism leveled against the staff, suggesting a lack of attention, strikes me as a misunderstanding, particularly in light of my personal experiences. My autistic son, who is an employee of Seven Scoops, often struggles with eye contact and can unintentionally say things that might be misinterpreted.The staff at Seven Scoops has been nothing short of remarkable in their interactions with my son. They have significantly boosted his self-esteem, patiently engaged with his frequent text messages, and consistently welcomed his presence and contributions. This level of support and acceptance is a testament to their character and dedication.I urge the authors of the negative reviews to reconsider their words and instead become aware of your surroundings before placing judgement on our children with special needs.“

“I did a Google search for a coffee shop and came upon this small, unique shop. I ordered a latte and it was very good. It’s a very small set up with a huge mission. It’s a non-profit to help people with disabilities to have a place to work. What a great cause! I didn’t get any food but the options looked quite yummy.Parking: Very little parking on the street. There is a lot behind the building which had quite a few empty spaces. Have to walk around the building to get to the storefront but not difficult or long walk.“

“Love the coffee and tea selection- good strong coffee that’s not bitter, and prices reasonable. People are helpful and friendly. Menu appears small until you realize that they will make you any flavor combination, hot or cold, with any milk type (real milk, almond milk…) Pictured is an iced latte with almond milk and mocha syrup and an iced caramel latte with regular milk. They also sell whole bean coffee which they will grind for you, many teas, snacks, and gift items. And just a cute nice place to sit and relax, too!“

“Me and my boyfriend stopped by to do the tea ceremony to learn more about tea & culture! The owner is so sweet & knowledgeable, the tea ceremony was definitely worth it and we learned a lot from her. The ceremony felt like fun but also as professional as taking a class on how to brew your own teas at home & their origins.Definitely reccomend stopping by for anyone who has an interest in trying new teas.“

“I found my new favorite bakery! I was in the area craving a pastry and found this on google, did not disappoint! I tried a few things like a chocolate croissant, powdered donut, tiramisu, cheesecake and a strawberry creme puff. Every single one was delicious, fresh and light. I'm upset I didn't leave with more, a hidden gem and a must try!“

“I don't think I've ever had something from JDs that I didn't like. The food is always fresh and delicious. We've used them for catering also and I was impressed with their pricing and options. Tables are always full and staff is always friendly. Quality is consistent. My favorite is constantly changing but my family loves the BLK and the patsy.“

“Stopped in yesterday for a cappuccino and iced coffee. $10.67 for a medium of both. Cool vibe, some food and small plates offered as well. Maybe 10 tables and 20 or so chairs.Vegetarian options: Croissants, empanadas, and suchParking: Spots fill up fast“

“Thank you to Sammy who handled customers with grace this evening (a Saturday evening in early April) where customers were lined up out the door! She was working alone and yet never stressed, lost her cool and worked tirelessly until everyone had their ice cream in hand. At a day and age where I wouldn't want my own daughter working alone, she was working tirelessly to ensure her customers were happy and didn't rush through despite the line behind her and anxiously awaiting customers. I was very impressed with her!!!“

“I had the gnocchi and it was absolutely AMAZING! Not only that, but I saw that they had cheesecake so I tried a slice and can I just say, I was in HEAVEN! I am not usually a dessert kind of person, but this cheesecake might have changed my opinion on dessert, forever. If you have the chance to stop by and try their cheesecake, I highly recommend it. It was so tasty!!!! 20/10“

“My husband brought me and my daughter here. The Gelato's where so delicious. I had a small cup of the strawberry cheesecake Gelato and my daughter had a scoop of chocolate and a scoop of vanilla bean. We will definitely come back again“

“Very charming little coffee spot! Super chill atmosphere and relaxed. Quiet for days that you want 'work from home' but not be stuck at home. There is plenty of parking with a few municipal lots and street parking as well. We did ceramic painting and there are plenty of options of items you can paint although we just stuck with mugs. I think there is a time limit when you make the reservations for the painting but it was a quiet day and they let us take our time. It is a neat little activity to do on a rainy day with friends and a cute coffee spot if you want a change from dunkin/starbucks in the area.“

“Been coming to Liquid Church since Christmas. Besides being baptism in May. The one thing I enjoy is the coffee here at the Clean water Cafe! But since I've reset my body over a year do to allergies. I've decided to try the spicy chicken and Polynesian Sauce! Oh man that tastes good! Pastor K is riiiiight! But I like the idea I'm also supporting a good cause by aiding areas for drilling wells. Where it's needed & where liquid church will go to who is in need. Money well spent and aiding others! Clean place to eat and also they help those with special needs. By giving these peopleA job. As far as I am concerned its a trifecta. We have the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit! Now we have a church who helps those in need and drills Wells for those less fortunate and All supporting a good cause! If your near Jefferson Rd and Webro Rd. & craving chicken or a snack? Stop in & enjoy a comfortable place to eat.“

“Adorable, charming gem in Towaco across from the train station. Looking for some place to have lunch, my daughter and I discovered this place! The menu/food was delightful as was the Owner, Christina. Seasonal candies and goodies to match the holiday mood! And a place to just sit and have a relaxing coffee as well! Treat yourself!Parking: Train parking lot across the steeet. Also lot in the back.“

“It's a small drive thru coffee shop that has amazing daily soups!!! Their soups are so good for breakfast. Breakfast bowls are good too. The price is a bit on the higher side but you get what you paid for. The staff are all nice and friendly.“

“Randy’s Homemade Ice Cream is an amazing experience! Carefully crafted and unique flavors that are out of this world! You can’t leave with just one! So good! His Cookie Monster, Reese’s Peanut Butter Cup and Cannoli flavors are just some of my favorites. A must visit! ??“

“Heavenly Temptations leads with its heart on its sleeve to create a wonderfully authentic family experience. I spent a cozzy day drinking coffee and eating delicious home-baked treats while taking reading breaks chat with the barista. The barista was the owners son and from the moment you meet him you can tell he is truly grateful for the opportunity to run his family's business and welcome each customer.Don't waste your money on other coffee shops. Supporting Heavenly Temptations is supporting hard working youth and a family dedication to their local community. And, my grandmother can't get enough of their desserts!“

“Amazing cafe/coffee spot. 1) Inside is very cozy. Lots of couches with electric outlets. Unlike other places where you have to fight for couches and electric outlets, here it is abundant. 2) I really enjoyed the hot chocolate. It was very tasty. 3) The cafe/coffee spot is very clear and service was super quick.“

“Nice coffee franchise with some tasty coffee. It was definitely a distinct flavor that I've never tasted before. I easily preferred this over Starbucks. Inside is cozy with plenty of seating. They do have a pretty good-looking food menu. Even though I prefer to support local, I will definitely be returning.“

“They are insanely generous with their toppings which most bubble tea spots in the area are not (gong cha in Montclair, kung fu tea in Montclair, cozy tea in cedar grove/verona border). Worth taking the drive to the mall just to grab a bubble tea from here.“

“Occasionally, my SO and I, go for espresso and pastries. We usually go during the week, after lunch. The place is small, clean, cozy; the lady at the counter is always attentive and polite. We usually sit and enjoy the goodies. The pastries in this place are the closest to the ones in Italy. I should know being Italian and traveling to IT three times a year. Keep up the good work, Palazzone!“

“I must say i love love loveee this place. Amazing service amazing people. I do miss the guy at drive thru Matt he was so sweet. Ugh he made my day every time. I also really appreciate this young girl there i believe her names was Narciss. She was so cute and adorable as she stayed patient to help my children figure out their favorite drinks and now they dont let me go anywhere else?. I always come in to see that sweet barista because she truly made us feel welcomed which alot of baristas tend to lack.“

“I work at the Acura Dealership next door. This place never disappoints. We always order their fresh bagels at least 4 times a week. Their sanswiches are always fresh, and they never get the orders wrong. Bagel connect will always be our go-to spot for fresh in-house bagels and breads.“

“Never had an issue wit the service or quality of food while using this location. Like many have mentioned, the service is very slow. However, it is the only location within a 5-mile radius with a drive-thru. It is also the only location open at 5:30am up to 10pm in this area of the state. Most locations are open much later and close earlier, so this location tends to get a ton of customers. Best bet is if you're ordering ahead through the app, do so outside the "rush hours" and if it is during the busy hours, best bet is to use the drive-thru. I've done this and no issues.“

“Aside from the place looking rundown the food was amazing my bf and his mom order a chicken and beef empanada and it was fresh and said was good I however ordered there empanada Supreme which they make on the spot and I did my vegan style no meat and was one of the best empanadas I ever had. You do have a choice to have it with chosen beef or beans as well but if you go here you should deff try the empanada Supreme. I would definitely come back here if I'm ever in the area again.Vegetarian options: The empanada Supreme without any of the protein option or you can get the bean options I did not. Due to other dietary restrictions on my end.Dietary restrictions: Can adjust to your liking if your vegitarian“

“I'm not sure why this place doesn't have a higher star rating but I have had pleasant experiences every time I have come in. Since it's near my son's karate school we usually stop by for a coffee or slurpie however last night we ordered the Spicy Italian. They have a sit down area and it was clean. The coffee area is always well kept. Honestly can't say much about the folks who work there because the interactions have been limited to them just handing us a straw or our order. There was someone on break yesterday and she did engage with my son who was asking if she was on break.“

“Dunkin wraps are great as is their snacking bacon. The holiday coffees are a nice treat whether you like your coffee hot or cold. If you're looking for a quick breakfast or just a nice afternoon or evening snack then this is the place to go!!“

“The employees are very nice and polite they maintain the environmentclean.I have an opinion to share, the front counter needs to be protected against unpolite customers.Maybe a glass screen for the frontof the counters, for the employeesprotection.TY ?“

“Always make my way over to Traci’s Cafe if I’m in the area. Food is always on point no matter what you order. Really enjoy the Paninis and breakfast is great. Has everything from smoothies to breakfast to sandwich and salads. If you’re looking for great food Traci’s Cafe is the place to go. Traci makes you feel very welcomed also.“

“Outstanding, fully renovated. Immaculate and spotless, I stopped in at 4am and was greeted cheerfully. My coffee was delicious (hot butter pecan) and a pumpkin muffin. Squishy, fresh with abundant flavor. It's not a joy driving all over at 4am but stopping here was fabulous.“

“I love this place, been coming here for 18 plus years, bur lately they have new waitress and they lack professionalism skills, today I called to place an order, and she just put the phone dwn and literally forgot about the call, I waited 6 min then hung up called bk ,she had the nerve to say they where busy...I was like wtf! Soooo u just leave me on hold like lalalala... let's not forget to mention my order be wrong, and the cook rushes too, turkey bacon be pale and home fries be just as pale like there's NO LOVE IN THERE, AT THIS POINT ITS SAD TO SEE A PLACE I BEEN GOING TO FOR SO LONG LIKE THIS DUE TO LACK OF TRAINING! #GETitTOGETHER“

“I've been a several Dunkin' around NYC, but I like this one. They have quick and friendly service. The food was excellent, and the coffee was HOT which I enjoyed very much.Vegetarian options: Avocado sandwichParking: It's in the shopping plaza, so it has plenty of parking spots.Wheelchair accessibility: I'm not quite sure about thar.“

“Very fast service, was in and out. Female employee was efficient and friendly. Doesn’t look like a full service one but it was. Good location to grab coffee before the highway.Kid-friendliness: Kids are fine here.Parking: Plenty of parking shares the lot with the Victory Mart“

“Was very busy when I went. People moving in and out quickly. It seemed my order had been forgotten or someone else took it, when I alerted staff (I had been waiting about 15 min for a simple small coffee) they were apologetic and gave me a gift card for $4 as an apology, more than covering my coffee. Still little bitter that I had to wait, but staff handled the situation well, so I applaud them for that. Great ambiance, location. I would just preorder to play it safe. 4/5“
