“Súper delicious food and spot !“

“Food was tasty and well presented, staff was friendly and helpful. Lots of options for breakfast, lunch or dinner. The fresh squeezed orange juice was delicious. We'll definitely be back.“

“This cuuute spot stole my heart. We tasted ice creams, 2 got hot chocolate with home made marshmallows, drinking to the last drop of perfection. I choose the chocolate cupcake vanilla frosted & cherished every minute of the tasty treat. Each bite was packed with perfection, moist chocolate cake with real cocoa, and a sweet memorable buttercream that I will have to buy a pint of on my next visit. (Order online ahead of time). Super fresh and delicious. Oh& the staff we're pleasant, patient, joyful.“

“Amazing food and service ❤️“

“Bellemara is a hidden gem. If you haven’t been there you are missing out. The venue is refined, the wait staff is amazing, and the cocktails are so creative and delicious. We always love to see what the latest specials are.“

“Dinner last was an ABSOLUTE DELIGHT 💕. My cousins and I had cocktails to start the evening. Their French Negroni was superb. M’s starters selections were fantastic! - Quail Lollipops and Foie Gras Mousse. For my entree, I had Steak Frites-Bavette. Dinner was nothing short of magical. The service was TOP-NOTCH. Thank you, Kristine’s!“

“Great, friendly place! Best coffee in area! No known alien abductions, but definitely a possibility!“

“First time visiting here. Wife, son and I brought in some subs and snagged a table. A quartet of guitarists were performing some bluegrass tunes. Prices were reasonable for 5oz, 10oz, 15oz, and larger growlers. Very clean glassware. Son had Band Practice, me and wife had Creamsicle. Left with 3 four packs at $20 each. Staff were friendly. Bathrooms very clean. Felt like I was in an old Irish pub in Ireland. Lots of weekly calendar of events, trivia night, karaoke, etc.“

“Great beer selection. Large and cozy tap room with plenty of room inside and outside to chill out and enjoy. BYO Food and a rotating selection of live music. Great for groups of 2 to 20. And a distillery next door... Winner winner BYO dinner“

“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!“

“I've driven past this place plenty of times but only recently did I discover it. After seeing the reviews and all the critical acclaim, I decided to go ahead and see what the hype was about, and I was not disappointed. This is honestly a fantastic, lowkey, hidden gem of a coffee shop in the Princeton area. It was quiet, not busy at all, and the barista was super sweet and hospitable! There's plenty of good options of coffee to choose from, as well as tea, acai, and other snacks. I got the Hot Spicy Maya Mocha, and it was great. A super nice blend of coffee, chocolate, and creaminess. Every sip was blissful and delicious! Most coffee is just okay, but this coffee truly made my soul feel warm and cozy. I'm definitely coming back more times in the future! People who live in the neighborhood/community that this coffee shop is located in are really lucky to be walking distance from what is probably the best coffee I've had in Princeton! If you ever frequent Princeton Junction, or regularly commute to the train station, I highly recommend you stop by!“

“As a first timer at Nomad, I read reviews and saw several that complained about the service; so I was prepared for same. But have to say, the service was good. Our server was prompt to the table, gave us time to decide, and brought water. And so it went, no complaints. Pizza is no longer a cheap meal, so no problem with the prices, which are reasonable. The pies, well, they are a tasty, flavorful meal, with crust done perfectly. One of our party ordered an arugula salad, which he devoured. The Nutella desert pizza was not that impressive, but it did seem to disappear. Cheers!“

“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 :)“

“The best pizza place local to me. When you walk in it smells of as a traditional Italian grandmas kitchen. My boyfriend was craving pizza so I brought him here. He got the meatball pie. The face he made after eating the first bite was him falling in love with me all over again ?. This place also has amazing gluten free and vegetarian options. I recommend this place to all my friends. Tight indoor dining but they have a cute patio outback that’s much more spacious. I personally always do take out.

“First time and absolutely loved it ; we give a 5+ star rating- great beer/hard cider & and amazing burgers (fried green tomato—yum!) with a unique flare & fries were amazing, along with a cozy atmosphere! Highly recommend.“

“i rarely write reviews but this place is so good that i must write one. i first tried their brown sugar boba back in 2021 and i was honestly blown away. it's a basic drink, but something about it differentiated them from the rest of the boba shops that also has brown sugar boba. every time i come here, their boba pearls are always perfect (not mushy, soft, chewy, perfectly sweet). i've also tried different drinks such as their taro puff cream, rose milk tea, and matcha creme brulee, and it did not disappoint. i believe they're reasonably priced too, compared to other boba shops where a large boba would cost almost $10. as someone who has tried most of the boba places in central jersey, i can say this place is definitely one of the top (in my opinion) in the area!“

“Really nice chill breakfast-ish brunchy place. I ordered a lot of food as much of it was pretty novel options that I have only had once or twice while traveling. All of it was very good. The location wasn’t anything fancy, very casual, but with an overall nice vibe. Staff were very friendly and helpful.“

“I recently visited this Subway shop, and I was thoroughly impressed by the overall experience. The service was exceptional — the staff (Mr. Ashok) was not only kind and helpful but also attentive to every detail, making sure I had exactly what I wanted. The quality of the sandwich was top-notch, with fresh ingredients and perfectly balanced flavors that left me satisfied and impressed. On top of that, the cleanliness of the store was impeccable, which is something not often seen at many other locations. If you’ve been disappointed by other Subway branches in the past, this location will definitely change your perspective and set a new standard for what you expect from Subway. Highly recommend!“

“Friendly staff. Great food presentation. Quick service.“

“just had the most amazing lunch with my kids. we are excited to come back“

“We came this morning Saturday 11/16 to explore Princeton w/ the kids. This spot was amazing. I believe family owned. The breakfast was great, the two ladies were so so nice and welcoming and it was such a nice experience. The BEC and a croissant was fabulous and we all very much enjoyed. I’m in town once in a while for work and this will most certainly be my go to when I’m in Princeton!“

“We love this place! Great Sabrett DWDs. My favorite is the Spicy Sabrett with either cheese or mustard. Good selection of toppings. There's also chips and drinks available. Right next to the railroad tracks in Jamesburg. A great easy and quick lunch!“

“Great neighborhood bar and vibe. I've been here a few times for live music. There's plenty of room both inside and outside to hang out. Drinks are tasty and the bartenders are friendly. Haven't had the food but I've heard good things from friends that have eaten here.“

“Great coffee, great breakfast, and friendly atmosphere!“

“We tried this place for the first time and it did not disappoint! We were originally nervous because of the high price point, but it was quickly justified by the quality of the food.

The fried chicken from Combo A had a light crunchy exterior, and the meat was juicy, hot, and succulent. The chicken was perfectly cooked.

The waffle fries were crunchy and slightly spicy on the outside, and fluffy on the inside. Order them as fresh as possible so it’s at its peak crunchiness.

The chicken sandwich was AWESOME. The bread was sweet which paired well with the spicy Mango Habanero sauce that we selected on the chicken. While it was on the pricey side, it was large. Worth it!!

The soy garlic sauce was sweet yet garlicky. It was really flavorful. The Seoul Buffalo sauce however, was not good. It was too tangy, and tasted like Franks Red Hot Sauce despite all of their sauces being house made.

Overall we’d HIGHLY recommend this place as a place to splurge when treating yourself to some awesome fried chicken 😍😍😍“

“Penstock is great. Their tea is awesome and it always hits the spot. Also, the staff is very helpful and down to Earth.“

“Great my favorite place to get the Boba tea“

“Do you really live in a small east coast or Midwest town if you’re not eagerly awaiting the seasonal opening of the local ice cream shop? Closer to Edison than HP proper, this no-frills ice cream shop in a barn-shaped building serves up some excellent ice cream. They offer everything from soft serve to dole whip.

Some notes for when you go. There’s a limited amount of parking spaces, a small amount of picnic benches for seating, they only take cash, and there’s always a line. It goes pretty quickly though! I highly recommend walking there if you can!

Dietary restrictions: They have dairy free and sugar free options.“

The drinks are some of the best I've had in New Brunswick, and the prices are just reasonable compared to some subpar drinks I've paid more for in other pubs in the area.“

“Great place! Coffee is amazing and their matcha drinks are the best. If you’re ever craving something cold and fresh that’s the place to go’“

“We went there for the first time tonight. The staff was very courteous. The atmosphere was beautiful. The food was absolutely fantastic as we had their sampler. Didn’t feel rushed. The cappuccino and mousse topped off a truly wonderful experience. We will be back again and again…. and again. ❤️🇪🇹❤️“

“It seemed like the restaurant was closed but my friends and I was able to order some drinks at the bar, then we moved to a table for dinner. Our server Dominic was very attentive and helpful. Chicken tasted a little too dry, but all the other food we ordered was amazing; especially brisket! It was so tender and tasty. Two of the desserts we ordered with a cup of cappuccino were phenomenal. We were so full after finishing the bbq combo plate, but sure did finish both of the desserts ? I'm glad this place is open for the public. Will definitely comeback ??‍♀️“

“Amazing experience at the Witherspoon Grill tonight! Our waiter was awesome and their patio is dog friendly! Food was soooo good! We will return!!“

“This restaurant has by far the best thai food I've ever had (and their portions are huge). My favorite item on the menu is the Guay Teow Rad Prig; it comes with tons of sauce and is extremely flavorful. Their fried ice cream is also a family favorite. I've also tried the mango sticky rice, which is very good. I highly suggest coming here!“

“I have had several frozen yogurt flavors. They were all delicious. On occasion, I order a smoothie which also is terrific. The staff at Fruity Yogurt are friendly, courteous, and professional. The atmosphere is bright and cheerful and the store is always meticulously clean. A great place to go in Princeton.“

“Best chicken empanada I have ever had!“

“Best place to start your day❤️“

“Great cupcakes there. There’s a reason why they won or Food Network cupcake competition. I always make a stop here whenever I visit Princeton.“

“Lemongrass beef box comes with white rice and pickled veggies. DELICIOUS!!!!!“

“We had a wonderful birthday party today for my daughter. Everything was perfect! Kids helped bake cupcakes and then mixed icing with colors and decorated their own cupcakes to bring home. Tatiana and Nick were great with the kids and everyone had fun. The birthday cake was beautiful and delicious. Check out their great little shop!!“

“I had the sandwich special on focaccia- best sandwich I’ve had in a very long time time! YUM!!! Pizza amazing as well!“

“One of the best Burgers I have ever had in my life. I love their smash beef Burgers especially SmashMelt with Double Beef Patties. It is my go to order and one of my top comfort foods.

Their Vanilla Milkshake is also really good. Mozarella sticks are just average.“

“I've traveled to Thailand, and I must say, this restaurant rivals some of the best I've been to there. The Pad Thai was spot on, and the Tom Yum soup was a comforting hug in a bowl.“

“First time back since 1973! Even better than I remember it. California cheese burger, fries and a soda. Served up in about 3 or 4 minutes, hot and fresh. I will not wait another 50 years to go back! LOL“

“I eat here as often as I can and every time has been a great experience. It’s a great self service restaurant where you can enjoy some alone time in a nice, clean environment and eat a hearty meal.

Some of my favorite entrees include the Spicy Asian Noodles, the Soft Tofu Stew with seafood, the Black Bean Noodles, any of the K-Maki/Kimbap, and the Sweet and Sour Pork, which is especially great because you can choose to have the sauce on the side so it stays crispy when you take home leftovers. The Hot Stone Bibimbap also seems to be quite popular, but I’ve yet to try it—no matter what you order, you can count on it being tasty and authentic. The portion sizes are also quite large for the price, which I appreciate.

Additionally, the service is great and the workers are all very nice. The owner is especially attentive, always noticing whether you may need extra serving spoons, baby utensils, etc. She also remembers every customer and their specific food preferences and treats everyone so kindly.

Overall, great local restaurant that I highly recommend!“

“My family and friends very recently had a Celebration of Life memorial dinner there and they could not have been more accommodating. The food was great and the staff were there attending to all our needs. I highly recommend Romeo’s for any occasion. You won’t be disappointed!!!“

“Billy, le barrister is amazing as is the other barrister, sorry didn't catch his name! Coffee, pastries, donuts and atmosphere is fabulous. Customer service is unbeatable, thank you ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“
