“I, was in the mood for 'Brazilian fair" and this place didn't disappoint! My only complaint is on there special menu of hot food choices they (don't give any prices) and when I questioned ,the young girl in the front she really couldn't give me an any explanation !!!! This, is not by any means an 'upscale restaurant' where, I would expect to see this type of thing.....Just Saying“

“What a great, local cafe with delicious hot chocolate and other warm/cold drinks and snacks. Peaceful vibe, great decor, friendly and welcoming owners. 😀“

“This is a delicious spot!!! I got the s'mores crepe and it had whole graham crackers in the middle so you get a great crunch! Hubs devoured his strawberry and Nutella crepe. They had a connect four on the wall so we played that as we waited for our food. Crepes came out quickly.

Went back a second time. Still amazing. Highly recommend the work of art of the brownie crepe!“

“A wonderful space that caters to those that just need a space to get a coffee and do some work during the work day, to evenings of fun with board games or Dungeons and Dragons or whatever fun event they're running. I've also found the space to be incredibly LGBTQIA+ friendly whether it be fellow customers or staff, the space is always a blast to be in.“

“Everything I have ever gotten here is 10/10!!!“

“😃Excellent breakfast sandwiches! Best in the area and I've tried a lot of them here after moving from NY.“

“Adorable hidden gem🐱This super cozy cafe is inside an antique store so you can vintage shop after enjoying delicious Czech fare. They also have an eclectic tea and coffee menu. Recommend their bohemian donut with an iced Vietnamese 🍩☕️ The cafe is a part of the Rancocas Woods Village which is an absolute paradise for those who love used bookstores, quaint shops, delectable treats, and green witchy vibes🍄“

“I walked in to get a coffee and ended up staying for about a half hour 45 minutes. Had lunch and ordered stuff to go. Great staff, great coffee. ☕️“

“I love the food here. But i went there tonight around 730 and it was frigid outside. Just as we were sitting down to eat our food the worker decided to open the doors to carry all the outdoor furniture in then kept them open while he changed trash outside too. Not a care in the world for how freezing it was for his customers. It was extremely disappointing. We drive like 25 minutes to eat here. May be a while before we do that again.“

“Fantastic service, coffee and fare!“

“The coffee and food are top notch, quiet little downtown strip of merchant st is a great sport to meet a friend or work/study, staff is warm and friendly. Highly recommend!“

I look forward to seeing everyone at the cafe and enjoy the awesome coffee they make.“

“Used to go here all the time over 10 years ago. Went back today for the first time in 7 years. Just as good now as it was then. Solid diner food, good portions, good prices. NJ has lost so many good diners, I'm glad we still have this one.“

“Amazing breakfast spot. Never had a bad meal. Prices are good. Owner is funny and down to earth. If you don't like ball busting and humor go to ihop.“

“I love the muffins especially the blueberry bran. However, they occasionally taste salty. I'm no baker but wonder if those particular batches haven't been mixed well.“

“Everything I've tried here has been phenomenal.

There is one woman there every time I go, and all I've ever seen her do is chop fruit. Just constantly chopping mangoes or pineapple or whatever. So it seems like everything is made with real, fresh ingredients.“

“Excellent this was a great experience and the food was delicious!!!!“

“Patty melt was bussin and my family loved the food. Good Food and good community“

“Great food, coffee and desserts. Menu is versatile, healthy and offers delivery, if requested. Best kept secret in town.“

“It was lovely to relax with an espresso martini (made with violets!). This Italian/Asian fusion restaurant is amazing. We enjoyed delicious appetizers, especially the brisket bao. The main courses were delectable and different: orange chicken parmesan and cacao e pepe with meatballs. The chef talked with us about the dishes and treated us to glasses of orangecello (like limoncello) to cap off the meal.“

“The pastries are really good and fresh for a fair price. I got a coffee cake and a chocolate pastry for eight dollars which also tasted really good. The decor is really cute and the employees are very nice and helpful. I would definitely come here again! I encourage everyone to give this place a shot!“

Stop by every morning for my breakfast sandwich and coffee at the drive thru! Stop by today! and see all it has to offer!“

“Ive been wanting to go here for a long time. I finally came to try their desserts. We ordered take out. Service was fast. It was a small little crowded cafe. Desserts were a little expensive but worth it. Theyre not only cute but it was delicious. I wanted to try everything. I got the pina colada and a raspberry cake. They were both so good, not overly sweet. It was crunchy on the outside with the chocolate shell and soft inside. I need to try the other ones.“

“The food was excellent, The staff was very kind, The manager is very genuine and provided a welcoming atmosphere. I will be reccomending this establishment to my friends and will most certainly be coming back.“

“I LOVE THIS PLACE!!! 10/10“

“Café Albania is truly a gem! My wife and I make it a point to come here every Sunday for their incredible Albanian coffee, and it’s become one of our favorite weekly traditions. The coffee is rich, smooth, and authentic—just the way it should be. It’s the perfect way to start our Sunday.

But what really sets Café Albania apart is the exceptional service. The staff always greets us with a warm welcome and treats us like family. There’s a genuine sense of care and hospitality that makes the entire experience feel special every single time.

If you’re looking for a cozy spot with top-quality coffee and outstanding service, Café Albania is the place to be. We can’t recommend it enough!“

“Love this place, freshest boba. If you have never tried boba go for Pearl Milk Tea if you like tea, or if not go for an apple pulp tea or a fruit smoothie. You can get boba added to most drinks. A fee snacks available, too. Best place we have tried in area, and we love boba, started drinking boba tea when we visited Taiwan, so we are a bit picky. Good drinks, has small tables or carryout.“

“We originally went for the Sushi to this kosher restaurant in Northeast Philadelphia on Castor Avenue -- but instead we enjoyed and could not have enough of: Halomi Salad and Mushroom Wheel. One was in a friendly, family environment that went over backwards to please you-- and it felt like you were being take care of by family -- in a small comfortable town in Israel. The Halomi salad's taste reminded one of someplace in the Galil that was so good and so impossible to find of any quality anywhere in the whole US; the mushroom wheel so unique and tasty that it could not be forgotten.“

“I decided to give African food another shot and I’m glad I did.
The fufu and egusi soup was sooo tasty! My picky teen daughter was even devouring it. I will be back to try different items on the menu. It’s definitely a hidden gem. I highly suggest putting a sign outside that highlights your business to people driving by because I thought this area was closed for months just walking by it. May God bless the hands that prepared the food.“

“Sorry this is Late…Went to “First Watch” on 8/8/2025…with a friend…Food was Great!!! Service was outstanding!!! Shout out to Skylar our Waitress, she did a great job,very attentive but not a pest! I had been here before and Loved it. It was the first time for my friend…She loved it! This is my Favorite restaurant for Breakfast and will be returning whenever we can…Thank You to Skylar❤️❤️“

“The associates are always kind and helpful, today especially when I was pushing my cart to my car with a heavy item and an associate offered to follow me to the car to lift it in there. The membership here is 100% worth every penny.“

“We celebrated my Dads birthday at this location last Friday. Cafe Light was recommended to us by a mutual friend as a great spot to have lunch and celebrate birthdays. We gave it a try and could not be happier. The banquet area was sparkling clean, cozy, not too big, not too small, just perfect! The menu was outstanding! Selection of appetizers and main dish exceeded our expectations by much. Stuff was professional, attentive, we had everything we needed on time with no delays. “Light” is definitely a place to visit for event or to have a meal. Newly renovated, clean, delicious, cozy. Loved it!“

“The Açaí Bowl always taste great and fresh. I tried the Overnight Oats in this visit and it was wonderful also. It is always a relaxing place to eat. Very clean and decorated nicely. It’s a great place to go and forget about the winter weather for a while. The owner is always so friendly.“

“This location on Rte 130 in Cinnaminson is the best ever. The pave is always always clean clean. The staff ate friendly and the manager is the best. She makes sure all orders are prepared to the customer liking and out in timely fashion.Since I've started eating here the other places don't exust....also the fresh baked items are delicious (chocolate chunk cookie n fruit fusion for the win“

“Hey Susan, get hearing aids! Calling out a kid by name like that who’s just trying to do their job. Maybe you’re just old.“

“What the heck did I get myself into. I googled cafes in this part of town because I was on a Sunday morning business trip. I pull up to the cafe with two entry doors which said members only……. Hesitant, I still proceeded to enter. Unsure of what I was going to encounter I felt like Liam Neesen in the movie Taken. It was a cafe filled with Eastern Europeans from middle age to elderly men mostly smoking cigars and cigarettes, mind you it’s 830am Sunday morning. I walked over to the cafe and asked for an espresso to go. Great coffee and great environment. This has to be the coolest cafe I have ever visited, I wish I got the gentleman’s name who pulled my shot he was really nice. Not sure if I was allowed to enter or not, hopefully I can come back and have a conversation along with another espresso.“
