“Loved The Vegetarian Autumn SquashSoup 😋“

“Great spot for coffee and the owners are super friendly.“

“I had the pleasure of dining at Estime Cafe today, it was an outstanding experience! From the moment we walked in, the customer service was phenomenal, warm, attentive, and truly welcoming. This is the first Haitian restaurant I’ve visited that delivered such impeccable service, and it made all the difference. The atmosphere was inviting, and the food was authentic, flavorful, and beautifully presented. Every dish was prepared with care, bringing out the rich, bold flavors of Haitian cuisine. Whether you’re a longtime fan of Haitian food or trying it for the first time, this place is a must-visit. I highly recommend for anyone looking for a fantastic meal and a top-tier dining experience. My husband and I will definitely be returning!“

“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).“

“Stopped here before heading back to Long Island. Such a calm, relaxed, and comfy environment. The homemade pop tart was wonderful, the hot chocolate was like a liquid chocolate bar, and the latte was perfect. Thanks for an enjoyable bit of time before our travels back home!“

“Amazing service, food, and atmosphere! Dining at Pink Pistachio Cafe was such a beautiful experience. Mariam was very attentive and helpful. For drinks ordered the mango mojito and pink matcha lattes. For lunch we enjoyed the fresh chipotle chicken sandwhiches. Cannot wait to come back again and order afternoon tea and desserts.“

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

“The Barista is welcoming and made us smooth chocolate drinks! I gratefully enjoyed our pastries; the tastes are extraordinary, fresh, warm, salty sweet. Truly like nothing I have ever had in NJ! I felt my tastebuds transported to appreciate the combination of fruits, nuts, sugar, spice…I can’t wait to try the new Spring menu with another delicious drink. We are simply blessed to have The Simple Fare in Millburn🙏😋“

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

“Great selection of Portuguese and Brazilian breakfast/lunch!!!“

“Easily a 5 star experience every time I go. The coffee is super smooth, well balanced, and consistently made right. My go to is the brown sugar shaken espresso, and it never misses. Perfectly sweet with just the right kick. And you have to try the Sean Sebastian cheesecake, it’s next level. I’m not a big cheesecake fan either. The vibe is great, the quality is there, and you can tell they really care about what they’re serving. Definitely worth checking out if you’re in the area. Also shoutout to Najib for the excellent service and hospitality.“

“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“

“Love their soups and sandwiches. Their staff are always friendly and professional!“

“Great cafe and caterer! Use them for all my catering needs.“

“If you’re in the Basking Ridge area and want something quick but reallllly good, this is the spot. The owner is genuinely so sweet, and everything on the menu hits. Their coffee, boba, and cocoa are my go-to pick-me-ups whenever I’m working and need a little boost. Honestly, I’d give them 10 stars if I could.“

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

“I have tried several of the toasts and juices at Toastique and am never disappointed. I have loved everything but my favorite is the Greek Toast. Ingredients are very fresh. The staff is always friendly and the cafe is very clean. It’s just a great spot!“

“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!“

“Absolutely stunning experience! Arden was so friendly and helpful right off the bat - they had a ton of recommendations, so it was easy to work through my options. After I ordered, I made my way to the eating area, which was bright, airy and clean. Service was very fast and I had my (absolutely delicious) latte in just a couple minutes.

The cake prices are actually super reasonable for what you get as well. If you’ve got a sweet tooth, you’ve got to come here. I wish I lived closer, because I would come here much more often! They do offer savory bites as well, which I’ll try next time 😋“

“Boxwood Cafe is a gem! The owner has created a high quality coffee shop and the employees are very friendly. I like to stop by for a latte and a baked good (scone, cookie, or blueberry bar) and sit outside at one of the side tables. Pre-Covid, they hosted open mic night and quiz night every month. Now Steve hosts a monthly Zoom Quiz Night and it is so much fun! A great locally owned cafe.“

“We want here after it looked intersesting. We have tried the tres leches caramel and pistachio ones. The caramel one is a deification 10/10. Not to sweet and super light cake. A delightful treat I always plot with someone after dinner. The pistachio one is like a 7/10. Honestly could use more sweetness since the nuts made it kind of bland and bitter. They have a lot of variety but never tried it. The interior is very nice and have these beautiful Turkish lamps. Would reccommend!“

“Just had the apple turnover, it was incredible.“

“Great spot! And literally the only coffee spot the area. It's in a building that is shared with a bakery/pizza place that also has great products and fast service. We got drip coffee amd iced coffees that were made well, and left us wanting more!“

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

“I recommend all sandwiches but my favorite one is the chicken Caesar ciabatta sandwich. A salad but sandwich style. It’s so good it’s a must get. Workers there are friendly. I come here often for the corn muffins there the best I’ve ever had.“

“More then food - kindness & 💜“

“Great place! A coffee hangout for the post modern beat generation !“

“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.“

“(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“

“Great breakfasts. World-class home fries!“

“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😊“

“Wow! So delighted at this amazing bakery in Westfield run by the most talented couple and now they have a new one in Morristown too! My son is so picky and adores their key lime pie, Boston Crème donuts and Snickerdoodle cookies ! And these are 5 star treats ! Enjoy and join their loyalty program too to save … what a gift to New Jersey ! 💙🩵“

“Loved this LA café! The vibe is super chill and stylish, perfect for hanging out or getting some work done. The coffee was rich and smooth, and everything tasted fresh. The staff was friendly and welcoming, which made the experience even better. It’s a great spot to relax, people-watch, or start your day in Los Angeles. Definitely coming back!“

“La schiacciata e’ ottima, l’ambiente elegante ed accogliente. Golosi i panini, i dolci ed i croissant!“

“The food options were limited but not bad at all, the vibe is good. I wanted to sit around but then decided to have take away. The guy at the counter was good and friendly. He offered options and suggestions on what could I have, as I’m vegetarian. Liked it quite a bit for sure.“

“I love Panera!! The food is good as it always is. What made our visit really memorable was the staff member Misheel (please forgive me if I spelled your name wrong!) who made absolutely sure our food was satisfactory. When we picked up our food, he made sure we knew that we could come to them with any concerns or questions. I got up at one point to get some butter for my bread and some dressing for my salad, and he was super accommodating. He also came by to check on us as we were eating. Really stellar service, I’m super impressed!“

“Blue Café exceeded every single one of my expectations. From the moment I walked in, the atmosphere was warm, inviting, and beautifully designed. The staff is incredibly friendly, attentive, and made me feel welcome throughout my visit. Matcha Latte & Chipotle Chicken Sandwich with Sweet Potato fries are the best options on that menu, truly my favorite.“
