“The service was awesome. The ice cream was also amazing. The place looks great and it makes us feel at home.while we were waiting they gave us popcorn no charge. Definitely try salted caramel and mint chocolate chip.“

“Sinceramente, la mejor tortilla de harina que he comido en trenton, personal muy amable, el restaurante es pequeño, pero el sabor es grande, usualmente los tacos de azada son muy buenos ya que la calidad de la carne es muy buena, los helados y granizadas son muy buenos, todo a un buen precio. Sugiero siempre llamar para ordenar ya que tienen muy poco personal.“

“Tried the campfire latte and was so impressed!!! Will be coming back. They have so many options which is great. Love supporting local businesses while at work!“

Kid-friendliness: ice cream and cookies? that’s all i gotta say.“

“I came across Palo de Azucar while I was in Trenton on business. I was looking for a spot where they sold not only quality coffee, but tasty brunch as well. If you're interested or already enjoy Spanish food, this is the place! The quality of coffee did not disappoint, but what stood out most of all was the food. I ordered a Dirty Chai Latte with Oat Milk and a California burger, simply delicious (ask for it cooked at a lower temperature if you like medium!) My mother ordered from the International Treats, and this is by far what took the spotlight for us. We had the Beef Colombian Empanadas and were beyond impressed, from the freshness of the food all the way to each and every flavor of the well-seasoned beef. The empanadas are crunchy/crispy on the outside, and every ingredient on the inside is hot flavorful. The Alcapurrias were a show stopper as well, the outside being fried Yucca and the inside beef. The service was quick, the atmosphere was warm and welcoming, and the prices were comfortable and fair. May God bless and prosper this small business here in Trenton, and may our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ continue to guide them with the splendor of His light through it all!“

“It is important to note that I have specific preferences when it comes to food and may require a bit more attention to detail in order to fully satisfy my palate. Nevertheless, I recently encountered a few beef empanadas from this fine culinary establishment, and I have never taste any as delicious as these. I implore everyone to try this food.“

“Amazing, high quality matcha made fresh on site every day. I was so impressed by this place. It’s a no-frills cafe, but great to sit and relax or grab your drink to-go. I got the iced strawberry matcha, you can tell it’s fresh-made strawberry purée and the matcha tasted amazing. Highly recommend!“

“THIS IS MY SPOT. ALL DAY EVERY DAY EXCEPT SUNDAYS :)“

“Emily's is an absolute favorite stop for my Fiancé and I. We're about an hour away from Emily's, but we enjoy eating at Emily's so much that we make the trip at least 4 times a year. It's a scenic drive and close by to several fun towns like New Hope, Stockton and Frenchtown. We also hired Emily's to cater our wedding. Emily's has been, by far, our favorite vendor to work with. The only thing sweeter than Emily and her staff are the Peanut Butter Cookies. They are FANTASTIC.“

“First time here- food does not disappoint. All of the employees are helpful and courteous. They get very busy but even with the volume and a little bit of a wait, they try to be as timely as possible. A lot of gluten free options, all allergies clearly labeled. We’re hooked and will be back!“

“Charming little cafe with excellent food and service 😊“

“Ginger cardamom scones! Actually, all the scones are delicious. Coffee beans are roasted in a facility in Rocky Hill. Our favorite is the dark roast. Shop local!“

“Great service, very good quality of food“

“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’“

“The crepes taste good and are reasonably priced for a shop in Princeton.“

“Great food and fast friendly service!!“

“Want a great Philly Cheesesteak? Look no further than Fame Good Eats. Moe, one of the chef owners, operated a cheesesteak shop in Philadelphia until he decided to join his father at Fame. The cheesesteak pictured in this review is half of a 10 inch hoagie. Moe recommended that my brother and I split it as it is made with 1 pound of prime rib eye. Cooper cheddar and onions were blended generously into the meat. He also buttered the roll with garlic butter. It was a truly outstanding Philly cheesesteak.“

“Good food“

“This is one of two breakfast spots where I enjoy the shrimp and grits. It's very delicious and filling! I get bacon to add to the grits because everything is better with bacon. The latte was also hot for almost my whole meal; everywhere else it's cold after five minutes. I'm not sure how they're doing that, but I hope they keep doing it! All the employees are polite as well. I come from another state to eat here because I love the food and the service is great.“

“awesome food and great service!“

“Excellent place to get good food fast. Staff is polite and remembered my name after my first visit.“

“We highly recommend the Italian hot dogs. Absolutely delicious. Just like Tony Go’s from Trenton and Hamilton. You must give them a try! You won’t be disappointed.“

“Came in primarily to try their wings - they did not disappoint! If you like crispy wings smothered in buttery buffalo sauce, this is your place. The chicken tenders and hand cut fries were also very tasty. Next time I’d pass on the hamburger and grilled chicken. Maybe the Kaiser roll is too much bread for the amount of meat but the taste just wasn’t just there.“

“Stopped in for the first time today. Shaken espresso was lovely and so was the service. I will definitely be back! Skip Calm Waters and get yourself some good coffee here. #calmwaterssucks“

“Had a wonderful experience at The Coffee Club. The ordering process was smooth and efficient, and the menu offers a nice variety of drinks and light bites to choose from.

The coffee was well-made and flavorful, and the overall atmosphere was relaxed and welcoming. It's perfect for catching up with friends or getting some work done. Seating was comfortable, and the space felt clean and well-maintained.

Service was friendly and attentive, which really added to the experience.“

“Food , service , ambiance was wonderful .“

“Love this place, freshest boba. If you have never tried boba go for Pearl Milk Tea if you like tea, or if not go for an apple pulp tea or a fruit smoothie. You can get boba added to most drinks. A fee snacks available, too. Best place we have tried in area, and we love boba, started drinking boba tea when we visited Taiwan, so we are a bit picky. Good drinks, has small tables or carryout.“

“my mom my uncle my son and I love the Wednesday night pasta night!“

“Played a lot of Billie Joel and Taylor Swift on the Jukebox. Overall pretty slay.

Parking: Not much parking :((

Dietary restrictions: Being on a vegan and paleo diet at the same time is challenging, but the chefs were so accommodating!“

“Ordered the Turkey & Bacon Club Toastie, Green Goddess Bowl with Spicy Chicken and Creamy Tomato Soup. Everything was amazing! Turkey was so juicy and I normally can’t stand turkey unless it’s deli meat. The spicy chicken had a great kick and also very juicy. Creamy Tomato Soup was the best I’ve had. Definitely a Chef’s Kiss experience. All staff members were extra friendly. Thank you for beautiful lunch with my mother.“

“too expensive, horrible service, arrogant and ignorant staff. unless you have 15 minutes to wait for a simple coffee and muffin while these igorant people commiserate with college students, dont bother patronizing this place. $15 for muffin, coffee and tip makes Starbucks seem inexpensive.“

“Very clean, great service, great food and the best bagels! what else an you ask for in a bagels store?“

“Owners and staff are all so kind and genuine. The food is incredible, the restaurant is spotless. It is truly family there. love Liz Lisa and Alex“

“The place was lovely, a very relaxed, laid back atmosphere. I got a waffle which was done amazingly. The only 'complaint' I had is that I didn't quite realize how huge the hot chocolate I ordered would be, and I'm not sure my waistline will agree with all that extra syrup and whipped cream. Delicious meal.“

“A special thank you to Jodi for making my day. I needed a condolence platter to be delivered same day, and Jodi made a difficult day very quickly and simple for me. The family was very grateful for your kindness and amazing service. Moish and Itzy of Newtown was rude and very complicated. Never again!“

“Great meals and great time“

“Truly unique and amazing. I cannot overstate how fortunate I am to have such a wonderful chef (a true artist!) so near. I have tried so many things on the menu (breakfast, lunch, & dinner) and always just wonderful. Thank you Chef Christine!!!!!“

“Great food, terrific service.“

“Had a great experience in 1st visit so went back with friends and family for more.

If you're looking to please both American and Korean pallets, this is it. The concept is a really interesting fusion of Korean and American cuisine—if anything, I’d describe it as American food with a Korean twist.

The menu is surprisingly diverse, which makes it easy for everyone in a group to find something they’ll enjoy. We tried a mix of dishes—from the beet and orange salad to Korean fried chicken, quinoa bowls, and even pastas with Korean-inspired flavors—and everything was solid.

What really stood out was the balance of flavors. Nothing was overly saucy or overpowering, yet each dish had a distinct and satisfying taste. You can clearly pick up the Korean seasoning, but it’s subtle and well integrated rather than overwhelming. Even the traditional Korean tofu soup had authentic flavor without being overly spicy or heavy.

The atmosphere adds to the experience as well. The two-floor setup—with the main dining upstairs and outdoor seating available—feels cozy but still spacious. Parking is also convenient with street options and a small lot in the back.

Overall, a fantastic spot for Korean-American fusion with a menu that truly offers something for everyone, including kids. The kids pasta in butter was really good, especially the pasta. Maybe homemade pasta...“

“A bright spot on some tough days - I was going back and forth visiting my dad at Princeton U. Hospital for a few weeks, and stopped here several times for coffee or breakfast. I drove in early from PA and appreciated that they opened at 6:30am. Rare to find such a homespun mom and pop type place these days- just really simple and cosy, and the pastries, sandwiches and coffee are excellent. They have a cute porch with a few seats, and a little bistro table under a nearby tree. It was the perfect place to have lunch on a nice day as a much-needed break from sitting in a hospital room.“
