Cafes near West Windsor

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

“10 star experience. Perfect place to relax with a latte and breakfast. Warm inviting staff with fresh homemade delights. I particularly enjoy the veggie omlette, sweet potatoes with rosemary, curried chicken salad on a croissant, and all the salads are delicious. Pastries are artfully presented and not too sweet. Also, you won't find a better biscuit in New Jersey.“

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

“This cafe is a true gem as mentioned on other reviews. I did not know what to order and the barista, Pearl, made a great recommendation.
Really enjoyed the seasonal iced rose peach tea with avocado toast. The pastries looked incredibly tempting. Those are for my next visit! Great atmosphere 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!“

“Charming little cafe with excellent food and service 😊“

“Nice outdoor seatings. Order at the counter and they’ll bring the food to you. Pretty coffee mugs, but the latte and flat white are not as strong as I preferred. The sandwiches are tasty, especially the steak sandwich. Reasonable prices. Can get crowded on the weekends.“

“Chuck’s has friendly and welcoming staff, which I really appreciated. The food was just okay for me; personally, I found it a bit too greasy and not quite to my taste. It might be a better fit for someone who enjoys that style, but it wasn’t my favorite.“

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

“Great service, very good quality of food“

“So glad we stopped in! Woodys was exactly what we needed after a long day of driving. Walked in and felt like home. Our server Chelsea was such a puddin’ start to finish. The hot turkey sandwich and waffle sundae put me into a perfect food coma. Best stop on our trip. Much luck to you!“

“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.“

“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!“

“Food , service , ambiance was wonderful .“

“Went for the first time 2 years ago and have been back just about every Friday since! Go for the incredibly unique and delicious pies, sandwiches, galettes, cookies, cakes, etc. and stay for the equally as amazing hospitality and service. The staff here feels like family and goes out of their way to ensure every Friday is as amazing as our first visit! Our family loves the excitement of waiting for the menu to come out every Thursday to see what new creation they’ve come up with and what delicious classics will be available.“

“Great time today with NBHS classmates for lunch. Good food, friendly staff. New favorite drink in a can: Spindrift. Special thanks to cashier who took the great photo. Sorry, didn’t get her name.“

“Best-value and best tasting coffee offered around campus/town - an important accolade when even the campus-run outlets are draining bank accounts for very basic offerings. Important for new or unfamiliar campus staff to know that all are welcome, even though it is in the basement of the "Campus Club" building.“

“⭐️ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ FIVE STARS!! Huge shout out to, Tim! I had a rough weekend and needed some good food. He provided just that with a big smile and great customer service!!“

“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.“

“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.“

“Homey restaurant with fresh handmade pasta, you can choose the type of pasta and then the sauce, they have good desserts and a good cappuccino, the atmosphere is very nice and the service is very good, it is a good place to go with your family and partner“

“Full disclosure, i am a meat eater, but really love the vegetarian/vegan options they have here. I just had their vegan taco salad and could not tell it did not contain meat. It was delicious!“

“Great food, terrific service.“

“Came here with my girlfriend as we are trying breakfast sandwiches in the area and I was pleasantly surprised. The sandwiches are the best we've had in the area. Everything was freshly made and with real ingredients. The bacon in particular was obviously just cooked for the order. The roll was fresh and everything was well seasoned. Overall, I highly recommend!“

“We dropped in for breakfast. The coffee was great and the various pastries and pies. Everything has amazing. We ordered Spinach turnover, cheese danish, egg avocado cheese Sandwich, beef salami and leak and Parma jam turnover, almond raspberry pie croissant.

Service was fast and efficient

We recommend the Black Pearl.“

“This coffee shop is amazing! The owner is wonderful. She recently came to our apartment at The Parc at Princeton Junction for a wine and truffle tasting for Valentine’s Day and it was a fabulous event. So my boyfriend and I decided to stop by her coffee shop and try it out and was I blown away! The coffee was absolutely wonderful! The atmosphere is amazing! If you are ever in the Princeton area I highly recommend this coffee shop!“

“BAPS SWAMINARAYAN Akshardham makes my heart swell with pride and joy! Pardon me for bringing this to light: - I visited the BAPS SWAMINARAYAN Akshardham and was dismayed at seeing a couple taking pictures kissing in front of the Akshardham. I get that this mandir is open to the public and has become a tourist attraction because of its magnificence. But at the end of the day, it is still a Hindu Temple and a sacred place where Hindus worship and in this case the house of Bhagwan Swaminarayan. Some people are visiting for their tic-toc, Facebook and Instagram viral moment; as you’d be amazed at the poses you see people striking for pictures, but they should be RESPECTFUL OF HINDU CULTURAL NORMS! When visiting any Basilica in Europe - Clothing should generally cover the shoulders, chest, midriff, and knees. The dress code is similar here. People don’t have to wear traditional Hindu Attire but PLEASE, the public should dress modestly to show respect for ancient cultural traditions and norms! Wearing leggings is not dressing modestly. No one wants to see women’s bootie at a mandir! And kissing on the lips at a Mandir is the equivalent to tourists etching their names onto the walls of Rome’s Colosseum. PLEASE BE RESPECTFUL OF THE CULTURE AND NORMS OF THE PLACE YOU”RE VISITING! OM SHANTI“

“Wood Craft catered an event at Princeton during reunions and it was fantastic. I had pulled pork, ribs, chicken, and mac n cheese. Fantastic, tasty, tender. I took their card and hope to get my department at work to order from them.“

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

“Was starting my night as Lyft driver and needed a mental and physical break from the day. Found this gem in the heart of Trenton and was pleasantly surprised at the location, amount of parking on the street right In front of the establishment and the overall ease to find the place. When you enter the place is clean and inviting. Love the black and white theme going on. The place is clean and well cared for. Tables are clean and plenty of sitting. If you want to watch the world go by in this busy Trenton street you can sit at one of few laces by the oversized store front windows. With foot traffic and car traffic going by as you’re in a nice relaxing place with nice music (not too loud or quiet) the smell of coffee or whatever the kitchen is cooking up in the back. (Not overpowering or overwhelming smell) and just enjoy your treat or coffee. I had the latte and it was delicious and perfect temp. Paired with chocolate croissant warmed up. Staff is polite and kind. I sat down they brought I me the croissant and coffee. Also noticed how they would ask the other customers to sit as they with a smile on their face bring out the food or drinks. If in the are will stop by again for lunch or something savory. Greet menu and nicely priced items. WiFi available and cool designed bathroom that clean and modern to go with the theme of the place. Love the lighting in the shop! 5 stars do recommend! Would be a really cool time if it was raining outside and I was in here doing my work or just relaxing watching the busy world outside hastily move about the sidewalks and roads! Thanks for the lofi coffee shop feel and vibes!✌????????“

“Sat outside, upstairs rooftop. It was lovely. Service was attentive but not overbearing Both had tuna appetizer- nice portion, tuna was fresh. We also ordered the sea scallops and bolognese. Both excellent and nice portions. Too full for dessert. Hidden Gem - will go back“

“I have eaten Panera countless times, but today, I had the best salad of my entire life. No exaggeration. Whoever made this masterpiece of flavors and textures deserves a raise, a trophy, and a lifetime supply of accolades. I couldn’t just enjoy my meal and walk away in silence—I had to go up to the front desk and let them know.

When I told the cashier how incredible my salad was, she smiled and said, “the guy who made it is new.” Well, let me tell you something—Avery may be new, but he is destined for greatness. This salad wasn’t just food; it was a carefully orchestrated symphony of flavors. Every ingredient was perfectly balanced, the portions were spot on, and it felt like every bite was made with intention. This wasn’t just someone tossing things together—it was someone who cares about the experience they’re creating.

Panera, if you’re listening: KEEP AVERY. Protect him at all costs. Give him the credit he deserves because talent like this doesn’t come around often.

If you’re reading this review and wondering if you should order a salad from this Panera—first ask if Avery is on the line, if he is— you’re in for something special.“

“Horrible what you did to Fame! Bad business practice and I will never step foot in your establishment.“

“What a truly wonderful experience it was coming here. This nice young lady that works there was very polite. There was a bit of traffic building up in there behind me, but she was very patient with me as I surely took quite a while to order a few things for my family members. Everything was clean, and freshly organized. She even made sure to reassure me that the utensils were all cleaned properly because I tend to get a bit skeptical due to the possibility of cross contamination. The ice cream quality was great! Much better than most other places in this area. I never asked for that young lady’s name but she wore a lot of bracelets, and had black nails just like my daughter, which I complemented! I will be back in here for sure!

Will recommend this place for all ice cream lovers!“

“It has a nice atmosphere, friendly staff, clean tables, and reasonably priced and delicious food. I like toasted bagels. Another nice thing is that there are power outlets at most tables. You can charge your laptop and work as if you were in the office, which is what I do :)“

“Panera offers a mix of experiences—sometimes the food is warm, fresh, and satisfying, but other times, key sides or condiments are missing, which can be frustrating. Their handcrafted drinks are enjoyable, but the volume can be inconsistent from visit to visit. However, one strong point is their customer service, which is generally helpful and quick to resolve any issues. When everything comes together, it’s a great experience, but inconsistency can make it hit or miss.“

“From the moment we walked in, Sara made us feel so welcomed and comfortable. She was so professional yet warm, which really set the tone for our visit. The entire experience from start to finish was truly amazing! And Renee wow, she is a 10/10 server. So kind, attentive, and genuinely made us feel cared for the whole time. We couldn’t have asked for better service. We’re so grateful we decided to come here and will definitely be back again! 😍😍“

“We stopped here as we are visiting from England and we had such a lovely breakfast!

Delicious bagels and delicious coffee to go with it too. I had a bagel with sausage, egg and cheese and an iced latte with hazelnut syrup. The everything bagel was so so good!

Not pictured but we also ordered the waffles, salmon lax bagel and black bean burrito and they all looked very good too.

Would really recommend!“

“when i walked in i was genuinely shocked. the place is amazing it’s like 3 different restaurants in one. dessert, spanish, and italian. the atmosphere is also amazing. out back is very clean with beautiful furniture. this isn’t even all of it. seriously guys. shout to tony man. a real cool guy

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

“This is a great little spot in the heart of a great little town. The owner is a delightful woman who greets both old customers and new ones with the same welcoming smile and "can I help you?" The cafe/deli is open for breakfast, lunch and take-out. I have been there twice --- both times for breakfast that included a delicious egg sandwich and fresh coffee (see photo). You order at the counter and the food is brought to your table. Coffee is self service. The Cafe has a fresh, clean and bright interior (photo). I will be back.“

“Delicious - always fresh!“
