“una super atención, la comida muy buena la verdad que es lo mejor que eh probado“

“Great affogato if made by the right people. Went recently where there was a young gentlemen who made my desert. I get a double affogato, yet this time I received a cup of melted gelato with 2 cold shots of espresso mixed in. Morale of the story- don’t go if there is a young gentlemen there, or they need to train him because the method was wild. Scoop of gelato with one shot of espresso… proceeds to make another shot of espresso, adds more gelato to the already melted gelato and shot of espresso, and then adds the second shot on top. I received 2 bites of gelato with my cold shots of espresso. For an almost 10$ desert, I am quite disappointed“

“Affordable & Yummy: I’ve been here twice for lunch and once for breakfast. Very happy with all three meals. My special tip: try one of their Costa Rican dishes. Amy and I had seafood soup lunch; my favorite so far here. Really excellent. My wife liked it as well, large portion we had to bring some of it home. The seafood tasted fresh and the spicing was memorable. Excellent broth. ($17) I also had a breakfast. Sort of an American scrambled eggs, kind of breakfast and it was good ($7:50). Potatoes were outstanding. Yummy freash coffee. My second lunch was the Costa Rican style tacos, which were very good. First time I’ve had that. I had took a photo which I’ll put on the review. Came with french fries which were nicely done. ($12:50) Service all three times so it was excellent. Restrooms clean. The inside has a old-time diner look to it. Cleary was probably diner for a long time. They still maintain a more American traditional diner menu in addition to the Costa Rican themed dishes. It was a nice surprise for Amy and Foundmourselves in Somerville, I as we were looking for something downtown. I sat outside for the second lunch and it was great. You’ll see you in the picture. Owners are present. I like the old time diner look. Definitely a bias of mine being a diner guy so I gave him five stars for that🙂 (FYI: You won’t see too many bad reviews from me. I tend to only post reviews of places I like. Also, I only do reviews generally after visiting an establishment three times. I occasionally make exceptions. My first job was in the restaurant kitchen business, and everybody has a bad day.)“

“Amazing food and service.“

“The best food in town and very good empanadas 🙌🏼🥰“

“Amazing hot chocolate, friendly people, and make coffee drinks with your preferences in mind“

“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.“

“Cool electic vibes. Busy but cozy as well. I randomly was in the area and was looking for a quick latte before a meeting. This was 4 minutes away, really glad I went. Will go back again, I tried nootropic latte. It's got a cool clever twist with emphasis on neuro/ nootropic/ well being mixins.“

“Great menu great atmosphere and excellent prices , the owners and staff super friendly“

“Delicious Boba!!! Camp Becca approved!! ❤️💕“

“All around wonderful first experience at Safwa. Genuinely one of the best coffees I’ve ever had, and I’m not even a coffee drinker! I also ordered a panini sandwich which was delightful. Their specialty sauce is a creamy spicy mustard, which paired well with their thick-cut turkey. A great place to socialize and study, and while busy, service was still great! Will definitely be returning soon.“

“This restaurant is an amazing find! The menu is varied and much of it is reasonably healthy food. The service is attentive enough without being overbearing. There are some outdoor tables for when the weather is nice.

We tried the turkey avocado sandwich and the eggs Benedict. Both of them were amazingly good. The brewed coffee and the cold brew were also excellent.“

“Awesome breakfast sandwiches!“

“Great breakfasts. World-class home fries!“

“Amazing matcha bubble tea and latte that was better than any other matcha latte I've ever had before. I've had a lot of matcha so if you can trust me on this one. Talked with the owner Ying and barista Jesse for some time and they were both great ❤. The cafe itself has a very good esthetic with a cute teddy bear in the corner. Definitely a must try for any latte and bubble tea lovers 😋.“

“Lifehack - although you need a membership to use the facilities inside the YMCA, anyone can come in and get their snack fix (workout optional).

Its a small cafe, but offers enough essentials. They sell pizzas, empandas, burgers, fries... as well healthy juice bar and variety drink options.

But their main feature is the acai bowls - acai, pitahaya or coconut base options. There's a handful of pre-built choices (loaded with fruits, granola, nutella or peanut butter) or create your own. Quick and efficient and beautifully prepared... our Berrytella and Dragon Kiwi bowls came out fresh and delicious.

Will definitely be back, and might even convince me to actually use the gym.“

“EVERYTHING is delicious here. The cornbread is out of this world, the specials are always local and fresh and healthy. So many snack options and drink options, though if the matcha lemonade is available do yourself a favor and get it while you stroll by the native plant meadow and enjoy some cool birds. Love a place that genuinely supports local farms too- even local grains! Also everyone who works there is so nice even when after allllll the fun specials on the menu, you just want a good old hotdog -which they also have and are delish.“

“Delicious food ☕️ Awesome donuts 🍩 Internet service“

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

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

“Delicious fresh food. Nuray's is a hidden gem. Highly recommended.“

“We picked up assorted sandwiches for a party on Sunday and they were amazing! We got so many compliments from our guests. Thank you!“

“Good food, cute place and very good staff - empanadas were delicious but highly recommend to have a mini empanadas in the menu, also some sauce that is not mayonnaise based - like could be only cilantro with some lemon. The paninis were great.
😊“

“Choose two is the best!! Healthy food and great people in Raritan store Thank you for today“

“I’m very pleased with the service and food here. Serval months of walk in and phone orders and it’s been perfect every time. Definitely recommend breakfast here. Egg, cheddar and hot sauce on a roll or bagel, with or without pork roll, love it.“

“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.“

“Food is always good (flavor & preparation). Staff at this location always attentive and friendly. Wish the portions hadn’t gotten so small—It’s fine to increase the price, but to ALSO decrease the portion; well, feel a bit ripped off 🤷‍♀️“

“Stopped by Panera for lunch real quick haven’t being their in a while and I’m writing this review to say that I am very impressed with the food and the establishment, for the moment I walked in Cynthia the manager was very welcoming and nice. She helped me out with my order and gave me a few recommendations which I really liked and the whole staff and the food was amazing. I would highly recommend. We’ll definitely be back here very soon.“

“Bagels 4U, or Why Good Things Come to Those Who Queue

There are two things one notices immediately upon entering Bagels 4U: the wonderful smell of freshly made bagels and the rather impressive number of people who have arrived before you.

The line is longer than one might ordinarily consider reasonable for breakfast, but this is easily explained. The bagels are excellent, wonderfully fresh, and apparently the entire neighborhood has discovered this unfortunate fact.

The portions, meanwhile, are so generous that one suspects the staff has never been introduced to the concept of moderation. Whatever you order, you receive a proper abundance of it.

And so one waits, surrounded by fellow enthusiasts, contemplating the curious human willingness to stand patiently in line for something that will disappear in approximately seven minutes.

Excellent bagels, generous portions, and a queue that serves as its own advertisement.

Some things are worth waiting for. These bagels are among them.“

“Very nice place, kind of cozy! The sorrounding stores were very cute.“
