“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.”

“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!”

“I drove about 40 minutes to come here today and it was honestly so worth it! Everyone was so friendly and welcoming, and the staff was genuinely amazing. The coffee and matcha were both SO good easily some of the best I’ve had. They even let us order from the fall menu early, which was such a nice surprise! Everything about the experience was just really great, and I’m so glad we made the drive. Definitely already looking forward to coming back! 🤎🍂☕”

“My wife’s birthday was this past week. The only thing she asked for was a cake from Turquoise! And that’s what she got. The fluffiest, sweetest Red Velvet cake and Cream Cheese. Decorated to perfection! I’m trying to post a photo or two but the app won’t allow it. Oh well… take my word for it. Delicious.”

“An Episode of the Podcast Local neighborhood experts Sharon and Kyle was filmed here 1/8/25 at California Cold Co in Brick NJ. Upon first entering this chic coffee shop, you can’t help but noticing the stylish trendy muted palettes, industrial ceiling and altogether sophisticated atmosphere. The key elements are clean lines, uncluttered space, and focus on natural elements. The star of the show the coffee. My co-host Kyle and I stayed with the traditional coffee with a shot of espresso and cold brew, however, there are endless specialty coffee drinks to choose from as we were leaving. We were offered a complimentary avocado toast, which was delicious. If you’re looking for Instagrammable photos and modern space look no further than California Cold Co. in Brick New Jersey. Sharon McKenzie-Venning ADK Realty 732-232-4308 McKenzie-Venning.realtor & Kyle Farrell CrossCountry Mortgage 7324569609 are local residents, the two incredible professionals are in the Estate Sales, Real Estate and Mortgage space.

“I had an fantastic experience at this local boba shop! The atmosphere was cozy and inviting, making it a perfect spot to relax and enjoy a refreshing drink. The menu offered a wide variety of flavors, and the staff was super friendly and attentive. I tried their signature milk tea, and it was absolutely delicious rich, and perfectly sweet. The tapioca pearls were chewy and fresh, adding an extra layer of enjoyment. Prices were reasonable, and the overall quality exceeded my expectations. I’ll definitely be returning soon and recommending this place to friends and family”

“Not being from the area (South Jersey), I've wanted to try LeGrand Coffee House for quite a while now. So on a trip up to NY a couple days ago, we finally got the chance to stop in on our way up the Parkway. This place is amazing! This beautifully-decorated coffee house had some of THE best coffee I've ever had in my entire life. I got TWO lattes while I was there (a French Vanilla and a Honey Almond). My family and I also got the chicken pesto sandwich, and it was absolutely delicious. My daughter had an iced chai tea latte and loved it. DEFINITELY get to this place if at all possible! Two thumbs up!!”

“I had an amazing experience @The Market On Main .Now, under new ownership by a dear friend! The updated menu is a real treat, blending classic Greek flavors with exciting new twists. I tried the platter / Pita chips & Dips, plump chef and the veggie Reggie it was absolutely delicious—fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. The new desserts are a must-try. The vibe is warm and welcoming, perfect for a casual dinner . Service was friendly and attentive, and you can feel the love in everything they do. So proud of what they've built! Highly recommend stopping by if you're in the area. 💙#SupportLocal #GreekCuisine #ProudFriend”

“Cannot get enough of the cold brew, I’ve been buying it by the jug so I could have it daily.. I even get one for my Dad who lives over 45 minutes away because he loves it just as much. Also love getting seasonal lattes- the flavors are always just the right amount of sweet! The matcha …. Incredible. To top it off, everyone is so friendly and welcoming which definitely keeps us coming back. PS. we may have tried every pastry….. they’re all 12/10”

They have a couch area where you can bring kids to play board games. The music today was classic pop rock mixed with some 90's pop rock songs.”

“If you’re looking for an amazing pre- or post-workout treat — or just something delicious to satisfy your sweet tooth without feeling guilty — this place is it. The service is always wonderful, and the Cowabunga Smoothie is one of my personal favorites. Everything they serve is made with natural, organic ingredients, so you don’t have to worry about a bunch of ultra-processed stuff going into your body. It’s refreshing to find a spot that focuses on quality while still making drinks that taste this good. It’s always a great choice when you need a quick energy boost to keep your day going. Highly recommended.”

“My time at Perla was truly amazing because of the food and most importantly because of Ashely the waitress! The environment and the ambience was beautiful. Ashley was truly attentive and very kind and always kept a smile on her face. This was our first time at this restaurant and I will truly be coming back. She was genuine and sweet and we had a bigger party. She didn’t complain or get upset with us while we were being indecisive. The manager Geo and her even went out their way to pick up ketchup for us. Geo was very professional and helpful. They made this breakfast a memorable moment. We came to celebrate a birthday and we will be back. The food was also extremely good as well.”

“Loved this cute little place!!! My daughter and I were out and about, and wanted to get some coffee, but not from the regular “chain” coffee shop, so after a quick search, we headed to Metuchen. We were lucky enough to get parking right outside, and walked in to be pleasantly surprised by the esthetic vibe. Everything was super clean, and we were greeted right away by the super friendly employee. My daughter ordered a cappuccino and I got iced coffee. We also got a cheese and pesto savory pastry and a passion fruit and coconut tres leches dessert. Everything was delicious!!!!! Thanks for the enjoyable experience. We will definitely return.”

Awesome seating too! Really cool, and comfortable chairs. I would suggest adding a curtain in the back to cover the office/storage etc. Otherwise, really cozy and cute!”

Their kindness and willingness to give back to the community truly means so much. The taco bar was an absolute hit — fresh, delicious, and enjoyed by everyone! From start to finish, everything was seamless. Delivery was right on time, the setup was clean and organized, and the take down was effortless.

“I always judge Café by espresso! Espresso out very well, It was full bodied, tasteful and layered. It was all and all a good espresso shot. It may have been slightly over extracted- but it wasn’t too bad, especially comparing other cafés where it’s majorly under extracted and taste like an entire lemon was steeped in it. I encourage you guys to keep up the good work and test your espresso daily”

If you can't make a good breakfast or a decent hamburger, you're useless to me as a diner! Guiseppe and son Sergio have already made a name for themselves by serving awesome tasting food in abundance, great service in an immaculate and friendly environment. Love the way they come to each table to see if all is good...making you feel comfortable like they've known you forever!! Keep up the good work. Buena fortuna!”

“I can't speak for the other reviewers who said the pho was bland or premade. Sounds like a hater to be honest! I really enjoyed my meals at V-Town and the woman who worked at the register was very nice and friendly. So here's my review from an uncultured American: Dining Experience: V-Town's aesthetic has some cute wall decorations and the latest point of sale technology for paying with card or cash. However, the tables and chairs are typical of chinese takeout places. So this isn't a place with super fancy decorations or mood lighting, it's functional with some music in the background, cool wall decorations, and of course you have to have the toy cat that waves. There is not a lot of staff here, which makes it seem like this is a very small operation. But the people who are working there clearly work very hard. The Food: So, I actually discovered V-Town on Doordash and it was super cold out so I wanted something to warm me up. I got the pho with the well done flank steak. Once on doordash and when I went in person. When you order the pho, all of your veggies will arrive on a separate plate. So, you can choose to add as much or as little as you want. In some other places like Bravo Pho in PA, I believe everything comes in the bowl all at once. Regardless, the flavor of the broth was wonderful, warm. The flank steak was succulent, and the vegetables tasted fresh. For my wife, this was her first time trying Vietnamese food so I got her the Banh Mi sandwich. She loved the freshness of the carrots and cucumbers and really enjoyed the flavor of the pork protein. Also, I did get a brown sugar boba tea which my wife kept stealing from me. Overall, I thoroughly enjoyed my meals from V-Town and look forward to introducing more friends and family to this place.”
Days after Blank Street Coffee opened in Los Angeles, a line stretched "down the street" despite 103-degree heat, a local source told Daily Coffee News. The Brooklyn-born coffee and matcha chain opened its first West Coast cafe on Aug. 12 at 13273 Ventura Blvd. in Studio City, a Los Angeles neighborhood with deep roots in the entertainment business. It's the company's 106th location. "Studio City felt right for our California debut," co-founder and CEO Issam Freiha said in a statement.
Americans are drinking less alcohol, and fast-food chains have spotted a chance to fill the gap. They are courting young customers with frozen coffees and energy drinks that buyers can customize down to the flavor shot. Taco Bell has pushed harder than most, opening more than 30 Live Más Cafés inside its existing restaurants, where workers it calls "Bellristas" serve creamy chillers, fruity refreshers, and seasonal drinks alongside the usual menu. A diner can wash down a Triple Double Crunchwrap with a Pineapple Lime Rockstar Energy Refresca and its 200 milligrams of caffeine, roughly twice a regular coffee. Early results have already justified the expansion. After Taco Bell debuted Live Más Café outside San Diego in late 2024, that location saw a 40% sales lift, and the chain now plans a systemwide rollout as it chases $5 billion in beverage sales by 2030.
Dunkin' is heading back to Canada, eight years after it gave up on a market it couldn't crack. The coffee chain, owned by Atlanta-based Inspire Brands, said it has signed a deal with Foodtastic to open "hundreds" of locations across the country. Foodtastic, which owns Freshii and runs 27 brands and more than 1,200 locations in Canada, already operates Inspire's Jimmy John's sandwich shops there. Both sides pointed to that track record.
Bubble tea is about to get a lot faster. Gong Cha, the Taiwan-based chain with 2,200 stores in 33 countries, is introducing a major redesign that puts automation front and center. The company calls it "Gong Cha 2.0" - a new store model that combines drink-making robots, self-service kiosks, and a modern look. After testing the setup in Asia and the Middle East for two years, the brand is ready to bring it to its 240 U.S. locations.
Nothing Bundt Cakes, the Dallas-based bakery chain with nearly 800 locations across North America has claimed the No. 1 spot in America's Favorite Chains for the second year in a row. The chain didn't just win overall - it swept multiple categories. Nothing Bundt Cakes topped service and hospitality, unit appearance and ambiance, food and beverage, and convenience and takeout. It was also the No. 1 favorite limited-service chain among millennial consumers.
