50 Best Cafes near Rutherford

“I Love the Glorious Juice! So refreshing and good for me!!“

“Great cafe and caterer! Use them for all my catering needs.“

“Booked this space to celebrate my son's birthday. The space was reserved just for us and our guests. The café and play space were both Clean and organized. There was Delicious coffee and a variety of tea for adults. Pizza arrived just on time. I would book again!

One area of improvement would just be communication during the event. The girl attending us did not communicate to us as well as the older lady. There were also not enough spoons to serve everyone cake, mistakes happen.“

“I enjoy the peaceful and calming atmosphere of this place, which is ideal for focusing on work. It's also a great spot for a coffee date. If you are allergic to dogs, this environment isn't suitable for you; I am allergic to them, which prevents me from coming back. But if you're not, I recommend you come by.“

“The best coffee and pastry in the world!“

“Great place to chill� and enjoy the lovely autumn weather this time of the year! Love This place“

“Incredible Cubano, excellent frozen margarita 👍🏻“

“I went there for breakfast on a Thursday morning. The croque madame was perfection! Great service, good vibe. Be aware that you have to pay for each cup of coffee (vs. getting free refills, which is typical for breakfast service at most restaurants). The upside is the coffee is fantastic and relatively inexpensive for NYC.“

“excellent et frais 🤩 je recommande !“

“Wonderful, caring staff(Grand Central Station)“

““Had a really great experience at Tartinery Café near Columbus Circle. The atmosphere was calm and relaxing, perfect for brunch and enjoying the city vibe.

The Roast Beef Tartine was fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. Great coffee, friendly service, and an overall very enjoyable spot in New York. Definitely a place we’d love to visit again.”“

“We absolutely love the Kurly Kurdish shop. I had a Kurly kone with cherry vanilla ice cream. This is the best sweet treat. I recommend everyone stop in and try one!“

“What a delightful little breakfast/brunch place!!! We went here straight from the airport on our way into town, luggage and all, and it was perfect! We sat in the little outside area with the fans because the A/C was broken inside. My mom ordered the Grey Dog’s Breakfast with her eggs scrambled, French toast, and bacon, and it’s served with home fries. I ordered the egg and cheese croissant minus the parsley (not my fave) and added bacon. I’m picky about my home fries, so the server offered me french fries instead. We had exactly zero complaints about our meal. The portions are big, the eggs and bacon were cooked perfectly, and the French toast had this sweet butter with it that I can’t even compare to anything because it was so unique and delicious. The home fries ended up being DELICIOUS. The French fries were also good. I enjoyed the seasoning on them as well. I’m not a big fan of the thing shoe string fries, but these were good! The three employees we encountered were all very friendly and I would be more than happy to eat here again any time.“

“This cafe is so lovely. I had the pleasure of Desi and Aida assisting me with my order. They made the most delicious soy chai with amazing foam. Their desserts were amazing as well. It was refreshing to be greeted with such positive and friendly energy in New York. I can't wait to come back when I am in the area. Make sure to come to this cafe if you want a lovely experience and great food and drinks!“

“One of the best places for brunch in NYC. Everything was fresh and delicious.“

“I was there for a meet and greet and loved staying a few extra minutes to pet the dogs in the cafe. Such a nice break in my day!“

“Perfect 5 star review. Since the moment I ented I only encountered great customer service, I had a great talk with one of the workers and he served me a pink lemonade and a cookie. Even though the order was simple, the execution and taste left a lasting impression. The atmosphere felt cozy and sweet. Will definitely come back again!“

“Le Café Louis Vuitton was the perfect way to close out my wedding weekend. I got married on Saturday, and the only reservation I could secure was Sunday dinner for two—so I celebrated with my sister, and honestly, I couldn’t have asked for a more memorable experience. Hopefully I’ll be back with the hubby soon!

We did the Culinary Journey menu, which started with a beautiful amuse-bouche: a warm soup served with the LV monogram. It was delicious, comforting, and surprisingly homey. It was such an inviting way to begin the meal. Drinks were ok—we got the lychee highball and passion twist.

Our server recommended the ravioli, and I’m so glad we listened. The mushroom and truffle flavors were bold and earthy in the best way (exactly how I like them), making it a standout course. The ceviche was more of a refreshing palate cleanser—light, bright, and tasty.

For mains, both the chicken and filet mignon were great. The chicken had an incredible sauce and perfectly crispy skin. The filet mignon was absolutely delicious and cooked beautifully, tender and flavorful throughout.

The complimentary sides truly stole the show. I would order the broccolini with its subtle hint of heat and the mashed potatoes again and again—they were SO good and easily some of the best parts of the meal.

Dessert was indulgent. The chocolate entremet was rich but not overly sweet, while the hazelnut entremet tasted just like a Ferrero Rocher—decadent, nostalgic, and satisfying.

To make the night even more special, we were surprised with complimentary chocolates and a small vanilla treat in celebration of my wedding, which was such a thoughtful and personal touch.

From the food to the service, everything felt intentional and celebratory. Le Café LV delivered not just an exceptional meal, but a genuinely joyful experience—one I’ll always associate with a very special moment in my life. 💍✨

03/13/26 Update: Returned for dinner and had another 10/10 experience! The service is incredibly consistent and just as attentive as the first time.

We did the Culinary Journey again—Crab Louis, Black Bass, and the Chocolate Monogram to finish. The amuse-bouche and sides were once again a hit and really set the tone for the meal.

For drinks, the Capucine Twist was excellent and I’d definitely recommend it over the Highball.

Always a great experience here. Can’t wait to try breakfast/afternoon tea!“

“Vale’s Kafe & Kitchen is a hidden gem in Union City. The atmosphere is cozy and charming, like you’re visiting a friend. The service is professional and attentive. The food … oh so good! Clean and flavorful. The portions are just right, not outrageous. The coffee is also very good. The only setback I see is the entrance is not
accessible. I would suggest a ramp for those customers that have difficulty walking up/down steps. Also hours could be extended, say to include dinner on the weekend (Fri/Sat). Otherwise a must see.“

“amazing hot chocolate and cakes. i am not sure the wait to sit in is worth it though as i felt a little rushed. but to take away you wont be dissapointed.“

“Great coffee, great atmosphere and great service. The barista was very friendly and authentic. They had everything I love in a coffee shop; computer charging areas, all different types of coffee from espresso to drip to cold brew. Cold brew was smooth and flavorful. She talked me into the croissant and it was worth it! She’s say it’s baked fresh and it tasted like it. Thanks for the great experience.“

“This was our first time eating at Tartinery. There are several items to choose from on the menu. I ordered the Roast Beef Tartine and a chocolate chip cookie. Both were absolutely delicious. The concrete countertops around the restaurant were a nice touch. The staff was incredibly friendly while also providing fast service. We will absolutely visit again when we are in New York.“

“Loved every dish- fluke with black tea, mint and peach(who knew raw fish and fruit went so well together?), amazing grilled artichokes and grilled eggplant. Barely touched my pasta with preserved lemon because I was full, but it was delicious. My daughter’s burger was iconic. The Platonic ideal of hamburgers. Coffee was also delicious. If we had not made a plan to go to La Cabral for dessert and more coffee, I am sure dessert would have been equally excellent.Service was excellent and our waitress was knowledgeable and interested in the food.The fluke reminded me of the first time I went to USC in 1988. I had a plate with raw marinated tuna, raw salmon and raw scallops. The little heaps of fish were so pretty on the plate with their contrasting colors.“

“Really happy to find that place! Great real coffee and very friendly staff.“

“Delicious crepe and latte! Wonderful staff. Would definitely return to try some Turkish treats.“

“Love their cold brew coffee，If you’re looking for a charming place with a great atmosphere, you can’t pass HI-Collar up.“

“My opinion is 9.1/10. Def lived up to hype. I had the yuzu, has a lemon flavor and I did enjoy it. If back in the area would try other flavors I heard the boba is what they are know for.

“The food is absolutely fabulous. It is presented beautifully. We were going to go to the place next door, but due to the wait there, we ended up at Good Thanks. Such a delightful mistake. So much so that we came down again all the way from East Harlem to come back once more before the end of our trip. This is a must visit.“

“Wonderful, caring staff(Grand Central Station)“

“I love everything about Meow Parlor…especially Mama and Papa, the cat beds they make ( I now own 7) & daughter & hubby. AND BABY CORN, of course (& new friend Sid)—please please like, follow & subscribe to videos of the sweetest wobbly kitten in the world!“

“It’s flavorful and doesn’t have all that extra sugar. Easy to make. I love the recipes people are sending in as well!“

“Varon is one of my favorite employees. Yesterday he made me some guacamole he was sooooooooooooooooo patient with me lol. Thank you Varon for being so great to meeeeeeeeeeeee.....“

“My favorite spot to work & eat in Jersey City Heights.“

“Benjamin was truly the best of the best. He greeted me with a warm smile and was very patient, even taking my orders with care. He really was the real deal. He served me hot chocolate and a croissant, and he even gave me a cup to enjoy the rest of my chocolate on the go. I’ll definitely come back again because of the top-tier service he provided. Bravo, Tartinery!“

“I took a sip of my friend’s strawberry matcha and it was really good. I think it’s on the sweeter side but that’s my preference for matcha. They have a lot of fun flavors like banana matcha and creative ones. If I were to get matcha from somewhere as someone who usually doesn’t like matcha because of the bitterness, I would go here for matcha and to try the different flavors.“

“Nice spot in the neighborhood, the sushi burrito is definitely worth the price. As I got the shrimp tempura and it filled me with just one half of the burrito and had the other half remaining. The passion fruit tea with lychee jelly was great choice.

They also have quite a few things you can purchase plus an arcade machine towards the back by the seating.“

“I read their amazing reviews, I had to add me 2 cents. Definitely try their French toast. Brings back my memories of being a kid, and filling as f...... Great for breakfast, lunch or dinner!!!“

“Went with wife and father. Wife had the Golden Cloud cold coffee was outstanding. I had the latte the flavor and temperature were perfect. My father had the Americano he said it was really good. My father and I had the Madeline which was excellent. The server was really efficient and friendly. The place is immaculately clean. If you want a relaxed place to drink coffee, this is a great place!
Highly recommend.“

“stopped in here today with my cousins .. the greeting was warm and friendly. I had the pork roll egg and chz on roll with the breakfast tators .. this place is awesome nice staff and great food .MUST TRY IT YOU WILL BE HOOKED ... 49TH AVE B“

“Separate note: I can’t say enough good things about Bluestone Lane. The management is incredibly kind, and the staff is always professional, warm, and attentive. The food is consistently delicious, and it’s just an overall great experience every time I go. Highly recommend.“

“Great breakfast variety and good service.“

“Fantastica atmosfera, Lillo eccezionale, passione, professionalità e cordialità. Numero 1. Grazie“

“There are places you go… and then there are places you experience. ETERI is the latter.

From the moment you walk in, you feel it—the design, the energy, the attention to every detail. It’s one of those rare spaces where everything just works. Effortless, elevated, and incredibly inviting.

The coffee? Best best best.
The Coquito? Non-negotiable. Get it!!

But what really makes ETERI stand out is that nothing feels random. From the design to the service, everything is top notch. It’s curated, intentional, and done with a level of care you don’t come across often.

Whether you live there or you’re just visiting, this isn’t just a stop—it’s a place you’ll want to come back to again and again.

My girlfriends and I visited and stayed in that area for 4 days and went there everyday for coffee. People who live there are so lucky!“

“We stumbled upon this coffee shop and what an incredible find!! Not only is it super cute inside with comfortable seating but the service was out of this world. Andrew was very welcoming and then made the best drinks we have ever had. I got an Eva Latte Special and my partner got strawberry smoothie - and both were 10/10. Everything was absolutely delicious!“

“Had a book club meet up with my friends and we definitely enjoyed ourselves. The music was nice but not too loud. The drinks were great, I ordered the milo latter with coffee and was delicious. I want to go back to try the coquito latte! I also had a arepa de yuca with cheese on top it was so good! The staff is awesome! Definitely coming back!“

“Excellent coffee and best cookies in the city! Baristas know what they’re doing, service is quick, and single origin specialty coffee is a bonus!“

“Very glad we found this place. Nice ambiance and delicious food“

“We stopped in at the cafe while visiting the area. The staff was very friendly and they were helpful in making recommendations. We enjoyed a delicious and strong Freddo Cappuccino, along with a couple of their mini Greek cheese pies. Would definitely come back!“
