“I stopped at Cafe Chocolat during a road trip, and I’m so glad I did. Everything was absolutely delicious! The cookies were incredible—warm, soft but crispy and full of flavor.

Highly recommend! The staff were so friendly and welcoming especially the gentleman who greets you when you walk in.“

When we mentioned we were from our of town and had a long drive home she pointed out that there was a restroom if needed. She was very sweet, definitely will stop in again if in the area.“

“My first time trying them was amazing, my aunt, cousins along with myself did a coffee tasting there and everything was great!! I had the FFF (Triple F) with a HEC on brioche 🔥! Service was exceptional as well, definitely a comeback whenever I’m in NJ again“

“They had me at lavender latte. Then add the lovely people who work there, the relaxing ambience, and the delicious goodies. 🥰“

“Amazing coffee and friendly, attentive staff!“

“Tried this place for the first time the other day and the coffee was smooth delicious. Juan, the barista was super friendly and knowledgeable. The two disappointing parts were no sugar free flavoring and the ham and cheese croissant. As someone with Type 1 Diabetes sugar free flavoring options are my only option so it’s saddening when there aren’t any. The croissant was tasteless and the ham wasn’t a normal color. As a whole, it was a positive experience and I will return for the coffee just not a pastry.“

“Vale Coffee Shoppe makes the best tasting almond milk lattes & flat whites ! I rarely miss a day at this spot. Tasty treats as well. Great service and there is often a special event like crafts & music. Forget Starbucks or Dunkin' - support an awesome local business !“

“Delectable baked goods!! Inviting atmosphere and the best of service. Paying $15.44 a cheese and spinach pastry and a medium coffee was a surprise.“

“My mother and I went to Dean’s Coffee shop yesterday while visiting the area. This was one of the cutest coffee shops I have ever been too. The owner is so kind, so focused on the customer, and the customer experience. Every drink and food item is crafted with kindness and love. I highly recommend visiting this little gem. I will definitely be going back:)“

The affogato, the matcha latte and the chai latte are all great. The almond croissant and is also a yummy sweet treat. The service is great (we ♥️ Zoe) & the atmosphere is cute. Will definitely be back.“

“Truly excellent freshly prepared food... outstanding service... wonderful owner ...and greatest employees. Please support this business. 2 thumbs up!“

“Earlybird Coffee & More in Cresskill is such a great find. The barista was very friendly and welcoming. The pastries were amazing — fresh, flaky and baked on premises. Their espresso drinks are excellent, smooth and well-crafted. I also noticed how popular their matcha drinks were while I was there — almost everyone seemed to be ordering one. A true hidden gem in the suburbs that brings genuine city café vibes. ☕✨“

“love this place!“

“Purchased four breakfast sandwiches and a BLT plus a half dozen bagels. The staff is super friendly and they got the order perfectly right. The bagels are pillowy and delicious. The bacon, egg and cheese was so good the teenager inhaled two in record time. My sausage, egg and cheese was also scrumptious. Would highly recommend.“

“This location is right near the hustle and bustle of Route 17, across from the cemetery in case anyone misses that little detail, anyways, it's quick and efficient, there aren't any kiosks though, that's the only difference, but overall, everything else is okay..“

“How much do I love their bakery? I drove from Orange County, NY to pick up 3 dozen Black and white cookies to bring to a party in Massachussets. That is how yummy this bakery is!!!! The staff is just as sweet as the desserts.“

“I live in Emerson just a town away from Flynn’s. Once upon a time we had a deli called Shortrounds. Blew my top off. Long story short Shortrounds stopped their brick and mortar business and I was afraid I wouldn’t find a good deli again. Flynn’s is the best I’ve had in New Jersey. The employees are all very personable and kind and the sandwiches… i don’t even know what to say. If you live in New Jersey and are paying for a sandwich at jersey mikes instead of going to a real New Jersey deli you’re out of your mind“

“Great place to eat …right next to the New Jersey transit“

“Wonderful ice tea but the scones are dry and too much jam. Love the breakfast egg sandwiches at Starbucks and the baked breads. Fast service with a smile.“

“From the warm, welcoming ambiance to the prompt, attentive service, every detail is thoughtfully executed. My cappuccino, served in a traditional mug for the first time here, exemplifies the elevated experience — the small touches truly matter.

Update 04/11/26 This location has become my preferred destination each morning and afternoon. The distinguishing factor is the team: their genuine hospitality and consistent professionalism create a meaningful human connection that enhances the overall visit. After frequenting many locations across Westchester and NYC, I’ve often encountered counter staff who seem disengaged; here, the Nanuet manager and team consistently deliver courteous, efficient service with a smile.

Thank you to the exceptional team and for restoring the standard of service we expect.“

“It was a great experience seeing my name at the Drive Thru area as I arrived for my mobile order. I definitely do not see that in the NYC area and that might be something to think about. The customer service is an added benefit as they were efficient and pleasant on the times we visited. So if you are in Cobb County and along the East-West Connector then stop by this location.“

“Delicious food, amazing staff 😋“

“Oh wow this is a great place, the donuts are amazing. Very, very great donuts, much better then other donut places. They are makign them fresh every day. The prices are really unbelievable, very great especially cmpared to the quality of the food. The lady is nice and everything is very fast and easy“

“Ordered two dozen donuts and they were ready when we got there. Workers were friendly and polite. Donuts were great and we will definitely be back.“

“Best donuts . Extremely fresh and tasty“

“Love this place! It’s my go-to morning stop. Perfect in every way; atmosphere, service, food, prices. One of the few places with that old-fashioned luncheonette feel. Alex, Luz, Debra, and Jasmine are always happy to see you, bring your coffee and share a story. Breakfast and lunch are done to perfection, served hot and fast. Convenient location, with quick take-out for commuters.“
