“My son plays D&D at the attached Bearded Dragon every Sunday. I “volunteer” to take him so I can enjoy an espresso and a conversation with Gabriel. He’s more than an owner/barista, he’s a true host. Treat yourself to a cup and a conversation with Gabriel.“

“Great bakery and coffee shop! The place is neat and well maintained, The birthday cake I ordered was so good and beautifully decorated, the cupcakes , cake pops, empanadas , quipes so yummy , good food, absolutely love it! I’ll definitely recommend it.“

“I’ve been coming to Queen City Coffee Roasters since 2020. I’m always looking to support local coffee shops as Starbucks and Dunkin’s quality is severely lacking. After four years of continuous store visits and door dash orders, I am always greeted and recognized by their friendly and knowledgeable staff. Regardless of my drink, hot or iced, each team member can answer questions and slightly modify the drink if necessary for your palate. They always have fresh pastries and now even have delicious breakfast burritos. It’s nestled into a cute spot in Plainfield and the shop itself is always feature local artists and they have several events a month. My drink recommendation is the Spanish latte. Iced or hot, I guarantee you won’t have a better latte.“

“Very happy we found this place! The ambience is great for brunch with friends or partner and it has decent seating. We ordered the avocado smoothie and Vietnamese frappe which were both good, but the best was the Vietnamese pastry with chicken. It was so good that we ordered four and took some to go (for a party of two!) lol.“

“Everything about this café makes me always come back. I have been here a few times and I am never disappointed. I was there just today to have their delicious baklava pistachio cheesecake and it's always so worth the calories. Their food is also delicious!!. The owners are very kind..“

“Absolutely worth dropping in! Warm and friendly humans and delicious coffee plus the best scone I’ve ever had in the entirety of my existence on this planet!! Adam and team are so, so kind and will accommodate your quirky (or is it just me?) coffee order with a smile.“

“Really great coffee. I sat here for an hour, enjoyed people watching outside while on a work call.The espresso was perfect. I appreciate that they have mugs, it's nice to drink out of a real cup instead of a paper one.Parking is paid street parking, just a heads up - $1/hr, so be sure to pay the meter.This coffee is pricey, but it's made with quality and I appreciated that.“

“So far almost food I have tried has hit the spot. It's like bringing me back to the motherland. Service is fairly decent, slightly longer than other mom and pop restaurant. Ambiance is great, would be nice to have more seating options.“

“I recently had the pleasure of visiting Apricot and I must say, it was a delightful experience from start to finish. As soon as I stepped through the door, I was greeted by the warm aroma of freshly roasted coffee and nuts, the tempting sight of colorful dried fruits, and the irresistible allure of Turkish sweets. The selection was impressive, offering a wide variety of nuts, from crunchy hazelnuts to creamy cashews, and an array of dried fruits, from tangy peaches to sweet figs.Have I mentioned the delights? From delicate Turkish delight to decadent baklava, each bite was a symphony of flavors that left me craving more.And let's not forget their selection of coffee and teas ranging from traditional Turkish black tea to aromatic herbal blends.The staff at Apricot were incredibly friendly and knowledgeable, eager to help me navigate and offer recommendations based on my preferences. The store itself was stylish, impeccably clean, and well-organized, making it a pleasure to shop there.Overall, my experience at Apricot was nothing short of exceptional. Whether you're a connoisseur of nuts and dried fruits, a lover of Turkish coffee and tea, or simply someone with a sweet tooth, this store has something to satisfy every craving. I highly recommend paying them a visit – you won't be disappointed!“

“I wish i could give this restaurant way more than 5 stars!! The food was amazing. The service was excellent. The atmosphere was very welcoming. The owner of the restaurant is extremely sweet and kind. She made my family and I feel like we were home. We enjoy every single thing about our visit and I would highly recommend this restaurant to anyone who’s looking for amazing food and excellent service!“

“Ambee has some of the best coffee in the neighborhood. I’ve only had their black coffee and cold brew so far and it’s great. Just tried the ube cold foam cold brew today and it was great, just the right touch of sweetness without overpowering the coffee. It’s a gem of a coffee shop in our neighborhood!“

“LOVE this place!! Everything was amazing, the place is very very clean and I love the peaceful ambience. The food presentation was beautiful and everything tasted great! Service was also top notch, all the staff was super kind and accommodating. We can’t have bacon and they made sure there was no cross contamination and even air fried us some fries to try. Overall great experience 10/10“

“It's been a week and I'm still thinking about the Brioche Custard - Cream. It's a pillowy doughnut, filled with a vanilla bean custard and has a croissant top. I didn't intend to eat the whole thing, but I did. Sorry, not sorry! I also ordered the big coconut. It's a tender brioche bun that is long and very lightly sweet. It was excellent! I sampled the Matcha tiramisu and was wowed by it. I got a Jasmine latte and also loved it. Everything I tried was fantastic. I plan to return soon. The person that helped me was so kind and patient. The store is very organized and has a great vibe. It's an Asian bakery, that also serves tea and coffee. Everything is individually wrapped, and you bring what you want to purchase up to the counter. Their desserts are so fresh and different. I'm typically not a fan of Asian desserts, but these were best in class.“

“Yo I don't know what they put in dem eggs but damn, that chili eggs dish was masterful. It hands down one of my favorite bites at a restaurant. I certainly see what the hype is about and can't wait to go back and try other items. Ok, so why a 4 instead of a 5? Well, here's the thing. It's hard to be both a cafe and a restaurant. Seating is first come, first served so you have to stand there and wait for seats to come available and then rush over before someone else gets there. I've seen places that have the cafe ambiance operate like restaurants to make it a better customer experience. Restaurant may want to consider adding more tables for busier times (weekends and Holidays) and put out the couches and chairs during lighter foot traffic. Also, you can allow for those who are in the cafe area or getting an order to go come up to the counter and order while those who want to sit at a table be seated and waited on. The experience was disorienting until we actually were at a table and then it was great from there. We almost left because it was so crowded and couldn't find a table but in Jersey good eateries are hard to come by. Overall, you will have an amazing experience during non-peak hours because the food a great and the staff were friendly. However, during peak hours can be a bit of a hassle due to finding seating.“

“Stopped in the other day with 2 others. All of us were very happy with our lattes which isn’t easy to do. Thankfully, we grabbed some of their fresh beans also and I get to have some delicious coffee at home. Will definitely be returning.“

“Such a beautiful coffee shop with incredible drinks and food options! My lattee was so delicious, perfectly made! The chicken empanadas were out of this world! So fresh! Paola who was the barista was so sweet. Loved everything about my experience, highly recommend!“

“Absolutely great experience at this charming coffee shop! From the moment I stepped in, I was greeted with warm smiles from the owners, creating a welcoming atmosphere. The baked goods were nothing short of heavenly - fresh and delicious, perfect companions to their exceptional coffee blends. Every sip was a delight, brewed to perfection. The owners' passion for their craft shines through in every detail, making this spot a must-visit for any coffee lover. Can't wait to be back!“

“Been going here for the past year. Literally just stumbled into it one day and it's become my regular spot since. Barbara and Ray are the best and I actually feel bad if I don't stop in for a few days to say hi and grab my coffee. Baked goods and the sandwiches are excellent as well.“

“Chill spot!Met a friend for coffee on a Saturday morning and it was not too crowded. There were so many seating options which was great! We had lattes and they were pretty good. There was some confusion at counter when we walked in. There were about 4 people behind the counter but it took about 2 minutes for someone to greet us. Turned out there was an issue with the espresso machine but it started working right before we got there. Otherwise, service was good. I will definitely be going back to enjoy the coffee and the atmosphere.“

“The coffee was good but very expensive. The pastries were honestly just ok and also just very expensive. I understand everything is expensive but these prices are the highest I've seen oh and no prices are written on the menu board. Didn't like that.“

“A very cozy boba cafe, with delicious drinks and treats! There's always adorable & pretty paintings chibi characters on the glass and inside too. The texture of the tapioca is always perfect, the flavors are all amazing, & the texture of the tea is super satisfying. Everything is a 10/10 and the drinks are affordable.“

“My first time there through drive through. Got some items i saw in the menu that wpuld change every few seconds and when i asked for one of the items they asked me which kind which wasnt in the description so was a bit confusing but pleasantly suprised it all turned out more than well and tasted great. Got 2 hot chocolate peppermint lattes and that brownie muffin cookie“

“We've only had the donuts here. They were really good. We make a trip once a year to get our Hanukkah donuts box. It's always a special treat for the family. Now they've opened a new spot closer to us (East Brunswick), so we'll be eating them more often! Will edit this to add a picture when I remember to take one before we eat them all. :)“

“I stopped by Taekwon coffee for the first time yesterday and it was pretty good! I ordered a hazelnut latte for myself and a black iced coffee for my manager. The lady who made my drinks (possibly the owner) was a sweetheart. Give it a try!“

“This is my go-to breakfast place when I need a quick bite in the morning and don't have time to make it myself, which is becoming a weekly thing for me. Excellent quality sandwiches and they are ready quickly so you won't be waiting long. I just wish they were bigger! Tried a couple of their other items which weren't bad, but they didn't make as good of an impression. Stick with the sandwiches here.“

“They have a small selection of dishes. They post daily specials on the board. Everything I ordered was super fresh and delicious. Their stuffed portobello mushrooms were amazing. The staff were friendly. The place looks nice and clean. The only thing is that the kitchen closes at 3 pm.“

“Don’t generally post reviews but this place has amazing coffee. A little on the expensive side but not anymore expensive than Starbucks. I had the honey rose iced latte and the coffee on its own is good, like you can tell they use good coffee beans, and not overly roasted. Mixed with the milk honey rose and its deliciousss. Will be back <3“

“Went in for a rubin, but the bakery forgot to deliver rye bread. No problem at all. Got a half a sub..which I stop eating for yrs. It was perfect amount of everything, plus the bread was. After talking with the owner, found out her father owned the deli in the 80's. When I worked on the road crew , this was the 1st stop for lunch , when in the area. Very nice and happy atmosphere.“

“Today my sisters and I celebrated my birthday here for brunch and it was perfect! The food was great and the unlimited mimosas were on point. What really made it special was our server Ana! We had an unfortunate accident but she was so graceful and sweet about it. Her energy and attentiveness the whole time was amazing and everyone was commenting on how great she was. When I come back I will definitely be asking for her by name. Thank you again for everything Ana!- The birthday girl“

“I had probably the best chocolate croissant I have ever had in my life here. It was filled with chocolate buttercream instead of the usual chocolate batons and it was so rich, silky smooth and a perfect compliment to the buttery, flaky pastry. Would eat again every day of my life probably“

“I love this location and their excellent customer service. They are always nice friendly and professional. It's been a year since I have been a daily customer at this location each and every time that I am there I love how nice they are and their coffee shop it's super clean . An excellent trained team of people working there are always professional friendly and smiling . I love this location ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐“

“This place is so welcoming! Very energizing with a refreshing atmosphere that really makes you pumped to get your protein in and then go back after your next workout! If I could give this place 10 stars I would. Rudolpho is so kind and genuine and informative, we had such a down to earth conversation and I’m grateful for that! The menu is absolutely exquisite with such a variety and is shockingly still adding new items!! I just moved nearby from Tennessee, I followed them on instagram after seeing an ad (@pride.protein) and they thanked me with a 20% off coupon, and even stayed open a little extra so I could make it. So happy that I’ve found my new “treat yourself” spot! :)“

“I love It, however very disappointed today. No more fresh whipped cream? They pulled out a tub of Cool Whip! Not good for a place that advertises fresh ingredients. Not to mention also that the sales girls said to me “it’s the same thing” when I asked about it. No, Crepes Du Nord, it’s not!“

“best dunkin ever. if you’re looking the best quality service, this location is up to par. my favor dunkin ? ever. great, nice, and friendly employees.Kid-friendliness: very good at talking to kids and making them feel welcomeParking: big parking space where you can do donuts (insert pun) on the lot.“

“I stopped by this Dunkin’ to get a Sour Dough Breakfast Sandwich and a Large Decaf Coffee. The atmosphere seemed very pleasant and the customers openly chatted with the owners since they were regulars. My sandwich and coffee were both delicious!! I will definitely visit again!!“

“Stumbled into this cute coffee shop after a Nutcracker performance at the theater nearby. Several tables and chairs indoors are available for customer dining. The menu had hot and cold drinks, pastries and sandwiches. The chai swirl tea was a nice pick me up. The blend of milk, black tea, and subtle sweetness from cinnamon and spice worked well. Was also told that the scones were made in-house and tried a blueberry one. It too was very good (not too sweet and not dry at all). Will come here again if in town.“

“This has been one of my favorite coffee shops for a while it joust happens to be far from home! It's great stopping for coffee especially on the cold day, walking up to the counter the food options were great and the staff created me super friendly! The drinks here are amazing, I got a white chocolate Carmel cookie and it tasted amazing! This was a late lunch for me and the croissant was amazing along with the cookie! Everything always test so great here and it is such a cute spot in the mall.“

“I have been working at Dolce Gelato for about 3 months. I really love this job becauseit's a nice little cozy cafe in a nice location in Somerville;these are the smiles of children who are happy that their parents brought them to a cafe to enjoy gelato;it is the aroma of the best Italian coffee that adults come for...I am very happy for every visitor and try to provide the best service from myself. Sorry for my English, I'm learning it every day, but it's still not enough.Everyone is welcome to visit Dolce Gelato for a cup of coffee with a sandwich or a delicious Italian dessert of your choice!I thank all visitors for their comments on this site and said simply in the face! I'm so sorry Emily DOE that I upset you so much by giving you 4 quarters instead of 1 paper dollar. I didn't have any more singles in the cash register at the time. But I gave you and your friend the correct change. I hope you will come again and I will try to find the change in bills that you like. Thank you for your comment!“

“Bagel Bazaar is your typical NJ Bagel shop. I for years patronized the Piscataway location until one opened closer to me in South Plainfield. The use boars head deli meats and have a charcoal grill for their chicken sandwiches. The bagels are awesome and perfectly chewy. It is MY bagel store!“

“These bagels are truly one of a kind! The taste of just a simple toasted bagel with butter is to die for. The service is great and they are all so smiley and truly look like they love there job. The atmosphere looks like a traditional bagel store just feel a lot of extra love.Vegetarian options: They have many items that’s not a bagel like saladsKid-friendliness: They are super welcoming to all children popping in for a amazing bagel“

“Their hot oatmeal bowls never disappoint (super creamy) and are super reasonably priced. They’re perfect for a warm comfort bowl. Some of the other items might be on the pricier side but they use mostly organic and more natural products so it makes sense, and the staff is always very friendlyDietary restrictions: Gluten free“

“The coffee shop has long been a beloved fixture in Bernardsville, and it's a place we've always adored. However, our recent discovery of their limoncello cake has taken our affection to new heights. Presenting it to my particularly discerning child was a gamble that paid off—he was smitten! The cake's delightful lightness and exquisite flavor have him insisting on a daily visit. It's truly a standout dessert that's captured our hearts.“

“So amazing, Dunkin' Donuts in Warren has consistently delivered an exceptional coffee experience, making each visit a highlight of my day. The staff's enthusiasm and efficiency stand out, creating an atmosphere that exudes positivity. From the vibrant energy in the line to the moment I receive my coffee, there's a distinct youthful charm that sets Dunkin' apart. The coffee itself is nothing short of the holy grail – rich, flavorful, and precisely the pick-me-up needed. Kudos to Dunkin' for crafting both a delightful beverage and an environment that makes each sip a rejuvenating experience.“

“This is a really reliable diner in terms of consistently good meals and service. Depending on the time of day and week, it can be quiet or really busy here. Either way, you are getting great service. The prices are on par for meals and the portions are always bountiful. The photo is of a breakfast sandwich that I had at my last meal there. And if you want a delicious breakfast with never ending cups of coffee, this is your place.“

“This is one of my favorite local restaurants! I love the atmosphere. Love to go with my family or even on lunch/dinner dates. The waiter, Alex, is TOP KNOTCH! 10/10 customer service that makes the experience that much better. My go to dish is the ranchero steak and their chicken soup. So delish. I also recommend their chicken chimichanga, their hongos borrachos, and camarones al ajillo. Their new owners have upgraded the taste of their food compared to the previous owners. Made me happy to go back there as the original flavor that I remember from my childhood was finally back. The restaurant is decorated so nicely, and the music choice is great. I like this place very much!Kid-friendliness: They have kid-friendly cups available.They have baby chairs.Waiter, Alex is super patient, friendly and kind. We look forward to seeing him everytime we go!“

“The place was renovated about a month or so ago and it is beautiful inside. I'm there several days a week for the coffee. It is really a great place.Kid-friendliness: The staff are really great.Wheelchair accessibility: it is easy to get in.“

“I really like this place. The staff are friendly, the food is good and seating is available. I just wish the offered more sandwiches like other locations & food was available later. If you go in the later afternoon nothing much seems to be “

“i’ve been coming here on and off for the past couple years. the staff is always friendly and helpful. i dropped my cheese twist on the floor by accident when picking up and mobile order and the employee was so nice and offered me a new one right away. is was so sweet and saved my afternoon ?“
