“Great breakfasts. World-class home fries!“

“un buen lugar para disfrutar un buen desayuno, un almuerzo o una cena 😍❤️😍 oh simplemente un buen café ☕“

“I love having a Dominican bakery so close. Everything we’ve had there has been FABULOUS!!! Honestly, some of the best coconut macaroons I have ever had and that includes ones I’ve had in DR. I had a coconut tree leches cake, and a strawberry short cake cup, which were both out of this world. The cold brew is so good, and the pumpkin sauce is on point. They’re also super friendly. Next time I need to try the pastelitos (empanadas).“

“Nice little spot where there's not much else around so its super convenient. Finally stopped by for an iced cold brew and it was really good. Great friendly service, would definitely stop by again. It's a trailer in the parking lot of the Willow Grove church, you can't miss it.

Parking: Church parking lot, free.“

“This place is amazing so glad I found it! Was in the hunt for a good smoothie place. My hunt is officially over. five stars recommend.“

“I was happy to discover KOKO LOKO when searching for an alternative to the downtown cafés in New Brunswick. The pistachio latte is delicious- it’s smooth but still flavorful and has crushed pistachios mixed in. And for a good-sized latte with plant milk, the price was affordable. I loved chatting with the barista, too. The place has a laid-back and quiet but still creative vibe, plenty of outlets and plants! It would be great to linger and write or craft there on a cooler day.“

“beautiful treats. taho that tastes like back home. friendly owner. cozy set up. I had the taho, yema cupcake & pandan cupcakes....YUM! I'll try the cassava cake later & their ube pan de sal.“

“A gem tucked within a perfectly walkable distance from Rutgers and downtown spots. Their grilled chicken sandwich is a savory standout: juicy, spiced just right, and served warm with a satisfying crunch. I love to pair it with a cup of Kashmiri Kahwa which is fragrant saffron-infused tea that’s both soothing and subtly floral. The ambience blends South Asian charm with modern comfort, making it ideal for both quiet solo visits and lively catch-ups.“

“Tiny location, packs a pearl.... comedy. ?I love their Thai Tea Boba and their waffles are amazing ?? whether you like croffles or their house made (?) batter. All smoothies I've had have been delicious as well as their Dolgona(hope I'm spelling that right) coffee boba! SUPPORT THIS BUSINESS??tons of parking btw!“

“Loved the shroom sando and the cold brew“

“Great food and friendly service!!!“

“Popped in for lunch when picking up something nearby. I was really impressed! Nothing fancy just good food! Staff were so friendly and seemed to know everyone. I'll definitely be back!“

“Frequent customer, but always blown away with the freshness of their summer menu. The shrimply the best tacos, which was originally on a tostada last summer, was just as amazing, but didn’t sit as heavy as a tostada. Love the move to a light tortilla. The Mexi-Avo toast was so filling and the flavors melted together so nicely. Don’t forget the decor inside is so cozy, boho/havana vibe and perfect for a date or girl’s brunch. 10/10“

“I was really impressed. The food was full of flavor — everything was well prepared, and the staff was super friendly. The place itself is a bit small, so I wouldn’t go with a big group, but when the weather’s nice they do have outdoor seating.

The food was honestly delicious. Their V-strami was excellent, the gyro sandwich was amazing, and the vegan crabless cake sandwich was really creative with great taste. It’s a bit of a drive if you’re in central Jersey, but definitely worth the trip. I’m also looking forward to trying their all-day breakfast — I saw them making pancakes and they looked incredible.

Expect a little wait since everything is made to order, and meals might come out as they’re finished. Other than that, it’s a really good spot and I highly recommend it.“

“Delicious food ☕️ Awesome donuts 🍩 Internet service“

“Beautiful place . Excellent service - fantastic food and beautiful atmosphere !!!“

“Great service, very good quality of food“

“What a gem! I hadn’t been here in four years and decided to go back with my goddaughter. we both had an amazing time. The service was prompt, the staff was super friendly, and the decor is absolutely beautiful; it feels like stepping into another world. We shared the calamari to start, then she had the lamb adana (which she devoured!), and I had the chicken adana, which I loved. Everything was cooked perfectly and full of flavor. We ended with kanzimbidi, and she swore it tasted like Dubai chocolate! She’s already asking to go back,maybe for Mother’s Day. Highly recommend!“

“Great food !! I definitely recommend this place 👍🏻“

“Brewed Awakening is the perfect spot for breakfast, brunch, or lunch. The food is consistently delicious, and some of my favorites include the BLT Sandwich (always made to perfection), the omelettes, and their Apple Caramel Butter Latte—a delightful seasonal treat. I first discovered the latte through a social media post a few weeks ago, and now Brewed Awakening has become my go-to spot every Sunday for a relaxing meal. The service is always warm and welcoming. Annie, the owner, often makes an appearance on the floor, either serving or checking in with guests to ensure they’re enjoying their visit. Her kindness and genuine hospitality make the experience even more special. I highly recommend stopping by Brewed Awakening for a delicious meal and a cozy, inviting atmosphere. You won’t be disappointed!“

“We love the atmosphere, the delicious homemade soups, main dishes, and desserts at the lovely Friends Friend's Cafe :) the jazz evenings outdoors, the chess-playing and studying students & Mo, Josephine, and Hannah with the heart of gold for all furry friends who are welcome inside the cafe, and, of course, on the patio <3 <3 <3 Below is our Rover enjoying his doggie meal and a comfy bed at the cafe :)“

“It’s always nice and clean. And the staff is very helpful. I just love this place always buying what I don’t really need😊“

“More then food - kindness & 💜“

“The best cappuccino I’ve ever had! A legit coffee shop with strong, quality espresso—and even the smell of the coffee inside is amazing. The older gentleman behind the counter was quiet but very kind, originally from Napoli. This is definitely my new go-to coffee spot. I’ll be dreaming about this cappuccino until I return. YUM!“

“(Translated by Google) Excellent service and quality food, it also has buffet-style food and food for all kinds of events ???? Recommended(Original)Excelente servicio y calidad en la comida, también cuenta con comida tipo buffet y comida para todo tipo de eventos ???? Recomendado“

“Amazing Cinnamon Rolls. Perfectly baked dough, not over done. Extra Cinnamon, not the cheap stuff and plenty of sweet glaze for the top.“

“Is it crazy to call this the most underrated place in Piscataway?? No one knows about this gem inside the YMCA but their food is super tasty and fresh. Their açai bowls and smoothies are refreshing and delicious and perfect for the summer. Also this might be crazy but their chicken tenders might be the best I've ever had!! They're perfectly crispy and juicy and tender all at the same time. Would definitely recommend especially if you're at the Y hanging out or at the gym for a treat after!“

“The salmon and ingredients were fresh,
and the toppings and rice were well-balanced, making it really delicious!
The service was quite slow but it’s okay.
It felt like it was made with care.
Reasonable price I think.“

“Donna at Phoenix Cafe provided exceptional service! Her kindness and warm smile made our dining experience truly special :) and her extensive knowledge on the menu helped us make the perfect choices!“

“One of my favorite bakeries from now on. Love the pastries, drinks and the crew service is very good as well.“

“Great time today with NBHS classmates for lunch. Good food, friendly staff. New favorite drink in a can: Spindrift. Special thanks to cashier who took the great photo. Sorry, didn’t get her name.“

“This chef at this place has proven that good food does not have to be exotic or complex.

Farm Barn cafe offers simple non fussy delicious food that is easy to relate and enjoy.

Cool laid back vibe with a limited menu , but a easy menu with good choices and cooked with quality ingredients that reflects in the tasty food .

Treat for Vegan lovers - The smoky Quinoa Veg Chilli is everything a Chilli needs to be minus the meat .!

Pita Pizza - A Palm sized Margherita pizza on a home made Pita is a kids delight and a treat for adults

Jalapeño poppers - what a unique take at this - No breading, fried split Chillis stuffed with cheese, served open faced with a side of pickled jalapeños . This dish definitely packs a kick

Have a good meal at Farm Barn and walk around Duke Park to celebrate and digest it .“

“Everything was always so fresh and tasty. The Staff goes out of their way for the Customers.“

“Their bakery items and coffee are perfect together. Jason assistant manager always makes sure that the bakery items are packed properly. He has a pleasant personality for the hospitality industry.
Lunch and dinner I ordered online and picked up at the drive-through window. Orders are always correct. Food is always prepared properly and the hospitality from the rest of the staff is always pleasant. I would highly recommend stopping in this store it has a pleasant soundtrack, a great atmosphere and a good experience.. JPE“

“Un excelente servicio y los desayunos 🧇 💯“

“Visited for first time. Food and service were great. I have to say I was not pleased with the Pet situation. I am a dog lover, but pets in a restaurant is not appealing at all. The dogs were barking, doing their busy on the sidewalk, spilling drinking water out of saucers. This was a bit too much. Sorry I'm not a pet hater, but safety and sanitary issues would keep me from visiting again.“

“This was one of the best omelets I've ever had in my life and I'm an omelet girl. I wish I lived by this place because it would be my go-to breakfast spot. I got the western omelet and it was so fresh with just the right amount of cheese.“

“Great spot for a meeting! Great food and the best coffee!“

“Always fresh. Great new salad. Asian chicken. RealtorPeggy“

“Amazing food and service.“

“Friendly and wonderful attention“

“We were looking for Brasilian salgadinhos to snack on during the Copa 2024 Brasil game. We found a large assortment at Cafe Cirino.
It’s a small place, with tables. A surprisingly large menu, with lots of choices. Gabriela took our order, which was made on the spot and well packaged for the trip home.
Paid parking across the street.“
