“Catfight Coffee is worth the 2 hour drive! The minute I walked in, I felt immediately at home. The coffee is incredible and is bested only by the even more amazing staff! Acey is the nicest guy around. I feel so lucky to have met him and so lucky to have a space that I feel comfortable in. 🤘🏻🖤“

“Love, Love, Love Magpie Bakery! Should have posted this a couple of weeks ago to let everyone know what an absolutely beautiful job they did with the delicious Woodland Creatures 1/2 sheet cake for my daughter’s baby shower! Wow! It was so moist and tasty, received so many compliments from the ladies. And you know we ladies love our cakes! The decorator created an over-the-top adorable woodland creatures design. Even the gluten free cupcakes were tasty and gorgeous. Kudos to the entire staff and owner. Everyone was so helpful and lovely. Would highly recommend this bakery when you want the best! Thank you to everyone there.“

“Courtney & Vincenzo are always so nice! They make outstanding coffee.“

“If there were more stars, I'd give them. We are from out of state (formerly from Waldwick) and needed to send a brunch catering to a dear family. Bagel Supreme was professional, sweet, considerate and kind. I called on a Sunday afternoon at 1 PM (about an hour before the store closed) and the owner had his wife call "within the hour." She did and spent time with me on the phone getting the right order to fit my request for the family. Then sent multiple texts to confirm everything throughout the evening. Talk about going ABOVE AND BEYOND! They delivered PROMPTLY as promised the next day and they sent us pictures of the platters to ensure that we saw what was delivered. Greeting cards to mark the occasion with our thoughts HAND WRITTEN were attached. The store would NOT take money until the order was delivered even though I offered to pay in advance. I will absolutely use them in the future for long distance gift giving (who doesn't like food as a gift)? And this will be our very first stop when we are back in town. 1,000% recommend!!!“

“The freshest and tastiest meals i've ever had, ohh and they are super fast with delivery orders too. My favorites are the greek salad with chicken and a healthy beet juice“

“I ordered a 70th birthday cake for my mom and it was amazing. The cake was moist and very fresh. My mom said it made her whole day!“

“Great place, cozy home-like atmosphere. Delicious food and desserts. Wonderful selection of cards and gifts. Then there's the candy counter! lol Friendly staff to top it all off.!!“

“😋 We eat at this restaurant whenever we travel from VA. to RI. Every meal is delicious! Everyone is friendly. We love this place!😎“

“OMG my family absolutely loves the Comfort Kitchen. Such a fantastic addition to Kinnelon. We have been there so many times and have tried literally everything on the menu and it is always delicious. Bri is amazing and it just feels like home when you go in. Highly recommend.“

“Best ice cream shop in Essex County if not the entire state of NJ. You can taste the difference in quality, creaminess, ingredients, no artificial flavors. Small micro batches made with natural ingredients and real flavors. Great owner and staff. Very nice people who go above and beyond to help create a wonderful experience. Small space but the flavor is large. They are getting ready to launch their second storefront in Lyndhurst. Go check them out. You won’t be disappointed. Favorite flavors include: Strawberry Baklava Chocolate But all are incredibly good!“

“Amazing tea shop! My wife and I enjoyed the Tea Ceremony with owner Fengxiao very much. Extremely relaxing and informative. Fengxiao spent extra time with us and made sure we enjoyed ourselves. Her very laid back approach to the ceremony made it very enjoyable. It was well worth our 2 hour drive to her shop. After the ceremony we purchased one of the 3 amazing teas we had. It was the Wild Old Tree Lao Ban Zhang Ripe Pu-erh Tea, 2005. A very good Puer at an extremely reasonable price. We also purchase a clay pot of excellent quality which was also very well priced. I am going to use Sinofilia Tea Shop for future online purchases. I highly recommend visiting Fengxiao’s store and booking the Tea Ceremony. At the end of our visit, we felt like we had met a new friend!“

“Randy’s is hands down the best ice cream in NJ. Yes I said it and I stand behind it.“

“I had the Baileys Irish Cream flavor. So good. Nice place. Nice owners. Can taste any flavor before you decide what you want.“

“Nice and cozy atmosphere with good quality baked goods and coffee“

“Personally I like there iced teas better than there coffees but I’m picky when it comes to coffee but there breakfast and treats are phenomenal so so good hands down must try the beignets“

“Lovely place with a warm staff and delicious food!“

“Les recomiendo los tacos polo porque estan de poca muy sabrosos los taquitos“

“Cozy local spot! Finally stopped by Cafe 179 after always catching it closed after work. The place is charming with great pastries (loved the sfogliatelle) and a really good pistachio latte. I mentioned the hours to one of the staff—possibly the owner—and she said they’ll be extending them soon, which is great news. Definitely my kind of place, and one of the reasons I enjoy living in a small town.“

“Great Mission Amazing Staff. Empowering the Community. Visit Clean Water Café and Support the cause.“

“Our / Nuestra Passion is a great little coffee spot. The staff is friendly and professional. I had the fruit crêpes on Sunday. I thought they were the best. I was ready to go back Monday for more they are closed. The smoothie my daughter had was delicious fresh strawberries and mango. I only wish I realized sooner they were located right on Main Street . I have been there twice now and always a great time. Best coffee and food . Great staff friendly and kind.“

“This Dunkin' customer service is the quickest and most friendliest staff ever. They could be in the morning rush and still smile and be fast. I literally pull up to the lot, place my mobile order, by the time I open the door my order is ready. Keep it up guys!!!!“

“Cute little spot in the heart of downtown Little Falls. The ice cream prices are decent, around $6 for a small. The quality of the ice cream isn't bad either. There is parking in the back of the building on Old Morris Canal Lane. Worth checking out and a nice addition to Little Falls.“

“Had a delicious & healthy PB&J smoothie & avocado toast…sooooo good!!! Staff are fantastic with a great atmosphere. Will be back!!❤️“

“We have been to Made in Italy many times during all of the ownership changes. We have been for dinner, had graduation parties and gone for dessert only. We were so happy to hear that it was open at night again. My husband recently had knee replacement and was itching to get out. We decided to go for coffee/dessert at Made in Italy. He struggled to get in the car and out when we arrived. It was 8:30 Saturday night when they close at 10. There were over 15 tables open - we asked to be seated for coffee and dessert only to be told they don’t do that. They wouldn’t seat us - they gave us their card and told us to check the menu when we got home- which we did. The second paragraph of the website says - stop by just to have a cup of our gourmet coffee. They had many tables open and preferred to turn us away. Needless to say - we will not be going back.“

“Reviewed mainly for Bubble Tea :
- Flavor: Extensive selection with seasonal variety available. I usually get the Chai or Oolong Milk Tea. The tea used in the milk tea is pleasantly strong but can sometimes be a bit watery instead of a smooth milk tea. Seasonal flavors tend to be hit or miss. Because the teas can be hit or miss, you'll likely default to a couple drinks you like rather than want to experiment too often.
- Boba: Generous amount of Boba with a pleasantly elastic chew. The boba rarely clump which make for a pleasant drink experience but the sweetness of the boba can cause a sweet drink to be a bit too sweet. Regardless, the boba has a nice inherent flavor.
- Price: Meets what I consider the average price (7-8$, 2025).
- Overall - A very solid bubble tea place that I have been frequenting for several years when in the area. It is a nice bubble tea for regular visits but doesn't quite set the standard for a bubble tea shop you'd actively go out of the way for.

- Extra - Despite the extensive menu, it's limited space means it's selection pales in comparison to other established shops or kiosks of the Kung-Fu tea franchise. The kiosk location is also interesting and the staff are courteous,“

“Amazing bagels, breakfast, sandwiches and service! Highly recommended!!!😀“

“I don’t have enough good things to say about this business. I called 5 Brothers from Wisconsin (not knowing anything about delis or restaurants in Lincoln Park, New Jersey—just going by google search) to order a couple trays of food for a memorial service in Lincoln Park which I could not attend. I am so happy my Google search led me to such a professional and helpful business. The two brothers I worked with listened to my situation and understood what I was hoping to provide food-wise, and then they suggested a mixed tray of baked goods and desserts that were perfect. They even sent me photos and a video of the finished trays of goodies after they put them together. And then they delivered. Amazing. Top-notch customer service. I highly recommend this company for food delivery and catering. Good, good people.“

“Use to be better. New workers some snubs. Great place for kids to hang out.
The two managers “Two Ladies “are great if you need something. Last time I saw one of them being nice a very patient with a kid.
4 stars because the snubs and rolling eyes.“

“They’re so sweet. The new hire, her name started with a K was so sweet, and made my drink perfect. They didn’t have my old fashioned at the time but recommend a different food item, a it was delightful! Had a great morning breakfast. Thank you !“

“The greeting of this DD high end. never found at any location , makes you very well how they welcome you and feeling of the full services completely magic . Super clean and their coffee always fresh . God bless who is she but very well trained.!“

“I’m obsessed with their cheddar cheese twist, always warm, perfectly melty, and just the right amount of crispy on the outside. It’s my go-to comfort snack! The staff here is super friendly and quick, even during the busy morning rush. Love starting my day with great service and a bite of cheesy goodness!“

“Pompton! If anyone is actually going and sitting in Starbucks, you should really be here supporting your community. The coffee and food are great! The seating is comfortable. So what if you have to parallel park and take a little walk. C'mon!“

“☕🌧 This Starbucks honestly has one of the nicest atmospheres I’ve seen in a while. The outdoor seating area feels calm, clean, and surprisingly cozy — especially on a cloudy day like this. Feels less like a typical highway Starbucks and more like a small neighborhood coffee spot.

The place itself looks modern and well maintained, the staff were friendly, and everything felt relaxed instead of chaotic. Perfect place to sit for a bit, recharge, drink coffee, and escape the road for a moment 🚛

Definitely one of those locations that actually makes you want to stay longer instead of just grabbing coffee and leaving 👍✨“

“Has to be one of the best Italian cafes yet. Everything is so fresh. I had the mozzarella and tomato sandwich and my mom had a salad..delish!! The dessert options were amazing! Space is bright, clean and tastefully decorated. Everyone was so friendly. I highly recommend!“

“Warmth the minute I walked in. ♥️“

“Super friendly staff. Outdoor seating is my favorite on a beautiful fall day.

Yes, it can be busy during the morning rush, but let’s all have some patience and acknowledge the folks working as hard as they can behind the counter.“

“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“
