“Love this place!“

“My favorite Dunkin, by far. Plenty of parking and you don't have to worry about the parking ticket sharks like on Front St. in Plainfield. Best part is the staff. They're always friendly, respectful, and helpful. It's a pleasant experience during your busy morning routine.“

“Just wanted to give a shout out to the person who helped me today, she was so kind and left sweet messages on all of our cups. I used to work for Starbucks and things have changed a lot, I often don’t get the amazing service we used to be trained to give, but this time I was pleasantly surprised. Thank you! Oh and our drinks were made perfectly!“

“Love it!!� ����������“

“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).“

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

“Amazing Food and service !!“

“Amazing place, delicious food!“

“Loved the shroom sando and the cold brew“

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

“My favorite place in New Jersey, I love spending my weekend afternoons here, food and coffee is amazing but the people it’s something else… you may see someone reading, someone else studying, a group of friends and even a person watching a movie with a cup of coffee in their hands. Love this place a lot“

“Great spot for a meeting! Great food and the best coffee!“

“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!“

“My favorite is the dirty chai...it's so good!! The coffee is pretty good too. The owner is super nice and always has time to say hi! A great place“

“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.“

“the staff is excellent nahum end sulma yarixa the guy who helps you select the food for the bowl is amazing. also the manager at night is also very sweet! great environment! food is amazing. they also have specials and also can get points. the service is above and beyond“

“The Nordstrom Ebar at the Short Hills Mall is a great place to take a break from shopping! ☕️ The baristas are super friendly, and the coffee is always high quality. A perfect spot to grab a delicious latte and a quick treat before getting back to the retail therapy. 🛍️ Highly recommend! #Nordstrom #Ebar #ShortHillsMall #CoffeeBreak #BaristaLife #ShopandSip“

“By far the best pastéis de nata I’ve ever had! Thanks for bringing us a little taste of Portugal. Can’t wait to try the bifanas🇵🇹🇵🇹“

“I have been a customer for two years now, and I really enjoy the taste of their coffee beans. They’ve recently expanded their menu to include a variety of new items, like a delicious hash brown. I’m also excited that they’ll be introducing their sandwich menu very soon.“

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

“Such a great vibe. I felt comfortable doing work there on my laptop. Friendly, helpful staff. Excellent coffee and chai. I am enjoying the whole bean coffee I bought for home from them. Plus, the sweet treats are delicious and they have yummy vegan options.“

“A friend recommended. I went by myself and was immediately given the seat at the bar. My server was great, she was quick, friendly. The food was good. I had the beer juice and rise and shine, plus French press coffee. Everything was delicious. The pancakes were extremely soft.. Will
Definitely go again.“

“Quality coffee, exceptional service, next-level ambiance.“

“A gem tucked within a perfectly walkable distance from Rutgers and downtown spots. Their grilled chicken sandwich is a savory standout: juicy, spiced just right, and served warm with a satisfying crunch. I love to pair it with a cup of Kashmiri Kahwa which is fragrant saffron-infused tea that’s both soothing and subtly floral. The ambience blends South Asian charm with modern comfort, making it ideal for both quiet solo visits and lively catch-ups.“

“Ammmmmmazing! I’ve been a loyal customer from the beginning and they always hit the mark! Love seeing new stuff and always always always friendly faces with 5 star coffee!!“

“The two people I was with were really happy with their menu choices and said the food was really good, and everything was nicely presented, but my House Waffles were dry and tasteless; they looked really nice though, and the scrambled egg I ordered on the side was perfect. Excellent service and really nice atmosphere. We'll certainly go back, but I'll make a different menu selection. In short, I really recommend The Bridgewater Cafe, I just can't give as enthusiastic a recommendation for the waffles.“

“Brenda, who works the cashier at the Paris Baguette is seriously amazing! I went in last week during the afternoon rush, and despite the chaos, she was super friendly and helpful. It's not just that she's efficient at ringing people up; she actually makes you feel welcome.

I was having a tough day, and her cheerful attitude totally turned things around. She recommended the mochi donuts, which were delicious, by the way! You can tell she really enjoys her job and cares about the customers.

Honestly, in a world where customer service can sometimes be lacking, Brenda shines. She's a total asset to that Paris Baguette, and I'll definitely be back, not just for the pastries, but also for the great service!“

“Visited Gregorys Coffee, and their brew is top-notch! The hot coffee was rich and full-bodied, with notes of caramel that lingered perfectly. The baristas were friendly and efficient, whipping up drinks quickly during the morning rush. The modern, inviting space with comfy seating and natural light makes it great for a quick stop or lingering. Prices are reasonable, and they take cards. This spot has quickly become my favorite for quality coffee in town!“

“I had such a good experience coming here I’ve been wanting to try this place for a while. The food was phenomenal and our server, Danielle, was so amazing. I celebrated my 25th birthday and she made it such a fun experience with her beautiful energy. Thank you Danielle!!! (Pls give her the prize or I will cry)“

“Nice little spot where there's not much else around so its super convenient. Finally stopped by for an iced cold brew and it was really good. Great friendly service, would definitely stop by again. It's a trailer in the parking lot of the Willow Grove church, you can't miss it.

Parking: Church parking lot, free.“

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

“I recently discovered Good Vibes Cafe in Fords, NJ, and it has quickly become our go-to spot. John and Angelica, the owners, create an atmosphere that is not only friendly but genuinely welcoming. Every visit feels like a warm, positive experience. My son and I have spent countless enjoyable hours at the cafe, often hanging out with their wonderful daughter Jade. The teas and shakes are a delight, offering a refreshing and diverse selection. The ambiance is just perfect for relaxing and unwinding. And let's talk about the donuts – they are out of this world! The flavors are unique, and the freshness is unbeatable. Each bite feels like a little piece of heaven. Good Vibes Cafe is more than just a place to grab a drink or snack; it's an experience filled with warmth, great company, and, of course, fantastic treats. If you're in Fords, NJ, do yourself a favor and soak in the good vibes at this exceptional cafe.“

“First visit to this cute little Cafe in Menlo Park Mall. I purchased the Avo madness which was okay. My other party ordered iced coffee of some sort and they were pleased. The lighting was nice and there was also seating. Customer Service was friendly and helpful. I would recommend“

“Needed a donut. So I got one.“

“We love this restaurant! My husband and I came here multiple times in one week after we decided to try it. The food is very fresh, and the teas are tasty. The dessert is also very good! We recommend the tomato sauce with egg and beef dish and the baked fried rice with curry sauce. I really like the pineapple bun and the Hong Kong milk tea, and my husband likes the milky french toast.“
