“The food was amazing! A little hidden gem inside a small Italian restaurant in the heart of Clifton. My husband has just recently had to change his diet due to a medical issue. So I was looking for an option that was Healthy but still let's him have his Italian favorites. The "Duke" was more than accommodating, and helped me hone in on dishes he could eat (gluten free, no red meat, specific veggies, and low sodium, sugar free). And the husband approves! The chicken he ordered was absolutely delicious, the special sauce sold it! Reminded him of his favorite Chicken Francaise. The chef even gave us a free tiny gluten free chocolate cake! (I let the hub have a smallll taste lol). It may be a bit pricey for some, but if you're looking for the best Gluten Free Italian around, it is well worth it! Please support small local shops like these, especially during these times!“
“My boss randomly decided to get some cupcakes for us at my job. It is nobody's birthday and not a special occasion. I didn't know you could get cup cakes for no reason. I heard it was about 45$ for a dozen cupcakes. That seems crazy expensive to me but I don't have much cupcake buying experience to make a good comparison. I only buy vegan food, I don't think they have any vegan options so if your vegan, make sure to check out their site before going. I wasn't gonna turn down free cupcakes and needed a sugar high. Choosing a cupcake was a hard decision, they all looked so good! I went with carrot cake, it was delicious and I was happy with my choice. I don't know why but my co-workers didn't seem to be as excited as I was so I got to have a red velvet cupcake to help me power through the afternoon and it was just as good! The next day, the box of cupcakes was still sitting around so I had another 2! Peanut butter chocolate & chocolate/chocolate. They were all delicious. I can't imagine getting a bad cupcake from this place. I also have no idea what is wrong with my co-workers but whatever, their loss. So if you got money to waste, aren't vegan and wanna get cupcakes for no specific reason, you'll enjoy these cupcakes!“
“Great as usual. Sit down in a timely manner, waiters are always around, and helpful, and food comes out in a timely manner. Big sleeper restaurant in the area, the food is always good, the bar has a bunch of available options, etc. Satisfied here as usual.“
“I ran into Steph at one of her pop-ups and fell in love with her macarons. Not only are they adorable, but they are DELICIOUS!! I reached out to her for a custom order for my bridal shower favors and they came out so perfect. Everyone was raving about them! Steph was very responsive via email and helped to create an order that fit within the budget I specified. I can't wait to order from her again!“
“I ordered catering for my birthday event last weekend and the food was amazing! I’ve been a true fan of this restaurant ever since I’ve moved up to Bloomfield a few years ago and I always bring my friends and family to this restaurant. Whether it’s Brunch or dinner, the food never disappoints! Hence why I thought it was a good idea to ask for them to cater for my bday! Anthony and his team were very accommodating and brought out the rest of trays as the previous ones started emptying out which I greatly appreciated due to the lack of space we were given at the venue. We ordered the chicken empanadas, beef empanadas, broccoli rabe, mixed greens salad, Mac and cheese, chicken parm, eggplant parm, pasta vodka, meatballs and potato croquettes. All dishes were excellent and everyone was excited to pack the leftovers home as well! I also ordered catering from here back in February for my galentines party and the food was also a success during that time. I know I can count on them for providing exemplary food as well as service. Thank you, Anthony and his team for making my birthday memorable!“
“Great meal and overall time here! Our server was super nice and friendly/helpful he really guided us through the menu and gave some great suggestions. The restaurant itself is super nice and cozy while being spacious, but oh man the food is unreal. We had the meatballs (so big and flavorful and smothered in sauce), the mushroom pizza which was loaded with mushrooms, super flavorful and unique. Also got the vodka pizza which was really great, we got extra vodka sauce on the side so we could really drown it and loved it. My friend got the gluten free and she said it's the first gluten free bread she's had that actually tastes like real bread and loved it.“
“When a craftsman takes pride in their work, it shows! Let me tell you that this pizza has "craftsmanship" written all over it! To begin with not many pizzerias make grandma slices, whereas they had an abundance when I went in. To top it off the taste is just an explosion of flavor! This is besides a variety of pizza styles they have ready. I'm definitely coming back and can't wait to try out other craft slices!“
“We only discovered St. Eves a couple weeks ago - great neighborhood spot! Food was very good, service on point, nice atmosphere. Seating a little tight though. Big plus for us - byob! On the pricier side but well worth it. Will definitely included St. Eves in our regular restaurant rotation.“
“Really impressed! We asked Stuff by SJ to make a custom cake for a pizza-themed birthday party. Working with them (Drew) was super easy and stress free. They were helpful, responsive, well priced and even delivered our cake to the restaurant ahead of the party. Everyone complimented the design and taste of the cake so it was a big hit. I’d definitely go back to them for our next cake.“
“Anthony was an excellent server. Very attentive. Pleasant and outgoing person.Made our meal Pleasant. Great personality. We will be back to see him. We usually go to Hackensack but found Wayne to be much tastier and portions just right. Closer to home too. We will be back.“
“Very good option for Latinos, mainly who enjoy yogurt with yuca bread and other things. The prices are not cheap for the product and ingredients but it is not expensive either... It is managed in the middle, the service is always very friendly and the place is small but cozy. I recommend “
“Staff was very friendly, chill atmosphere. Everything we had was delicious; chopped salad w/chick pea tuna salad, turkey sandwich, potato salad, cookie dough bite. Definitely get the iced mint lime ginger tea or the hibiscus tea.Be sure to scan the QR code for the full menu with expanded descriptions and additional items.Vegetarian options: All vegan“
“I have tried several meal preps from different companies and they usually are average at best. Made Meals exceeded my expectations. Very fresh and everything I have ordered so far tastes delicious. When they cook it smells like a restaurant. I highly recommend. Made Meals is by far the best mela preps I have tried. Well worth the price.“
“I am glad I saw their delivery van when I was driving by. I did a Uturn and hoped I stumbled on a yummy bakery. This place is gem. Small space for dining in so I decided to order a cappuccino and almond croissant to go and drive to a nearby park. I also got a container of their poppyseed hamantaschen cookies. Everything was top notch and delicious. Service was quick and friendly. First authentic croissant I have had in recent memory. I really appreciate that the baked goods were flavorful and not sugary. Perfect.“
“Cannot recommend this place enough! I have been a vegan for over 8 years and live for baked goods. When I went I ordered the sausage egg and cheese biscuit, the flavors were great it was hot and the cheese was perfectly melty with a to die for biscuit. As my sweet I ordered the cannoli and on the first bite I wanted to cry. The shell was perfectly flaky and crisp, with a creamy, fluffy, and a bit tangy (in the best way possible) filling. The workers despite it being very busy inside were so kind and sweet! My only complaint is to my self and that I don't live closer!! The next time I'm in the area I will definitely be stopping in.“
“My wife and I walked into LK for the first time and the hostess greeted us and said "sit anywhere you'd like".....what restaurant ever says that, we were hooked right away. We both shared a caesar salad, it was delicious. My wife ordered pasta with sausage. That too was delicious, I had the pasta with cherry tomatoes and crab meat, absolutely delicious. When our order came, we immediately got fresh pepper and before I could even ask for fresh cheese, a gentleman was waiting behind me with the cheese. I mean, c'mon the place has a great food, great service and a nice chill atmosphere. I think we just found our go-to restaurant.“
“I really like this cafe. It's warm, inviting, friendly, and I really like their bee sting coffee (mix of espresso and honey), their gelato, and peanut butter sandwiches. As a relative newcomer to Jersey City, it's been one of my favorite places to go to in the neighborhood.“
“This is one of my mom's favorite places for coffee. Everything I've tried at Liv Breads is delicious. All the croissants are amazing, but the nutella croissant is ridiculously good. The sandwiches are all fresh, healthy, and satisfying. The coffee is excellent. I love the samples you can try as you wait in line. Had to purchase the cardamon bun after tasting the sample. It is a unique pastry I haven't seen elsewhere, and it is the perfect blend of sweet, spicy, and crunchy. Going back soon to try the baguette which looks delicious.“
“I needed a gluten free/dairy free cake for our trivia teams one year anniversary, and I had been to Annie & Em’s in the past so knew they did great work. I ordered this cake and it was AMAZING! We shared it with about 30 people at the bar and everyone raved about it, even the people who at first didn’t want to try it because it was “gluten free/dairy free!?! No thanks!!” ? ❤️Dietary restrictions: GF/Dairy Free“
“I got an assortment of gourmet cookies for a party and they were a hit!! The oreo cookies, red velvet and crème brulé was amazing and everyone who tried them kept asking where I got them from. I look forward to trying the other pastries ?“
“I ordered a pull a part cupcake cake, number 9, Fortnite themed for my son's birthday. The entire experience was so easy from start to finish. From the convenient user-friendly website ordering system, payment system, and seamless correspondence with Polkadot Cake Shop, I knew I was working with a true pro. I sent a picture of what I envisioned and got exactly that and even better. I've never had any service where I have provided a picture and gotten the EXACT results! Just blown away. The ingredients of the cupcakes were top notch as well, tasted so good, my guests were commenting how it was the best cupcake frosting they have ever tasted. And the 'icing on the cake' was that we received a premium custom-made cake at a reasonable price! I will definitely be using Polkadot Cake Shop for future events, thanks for making my son's birthday a memorable one!“
“I'm really grateful to Bradley Bake Shop for fulfilling my last-minute cupcake and cake order. The kids absolutely loved them, especially my daughter, who can't stop praising how delicious they were. This bakery has been my favorite spot since my daughter was born. The owner is incredibly kind and always looks after their customers. A big thank you!Dietary restrictions: No peanut, nuts“
“Don't get me wrong, I love this place, and will probably be back. Last night however, I had a problem with my dish. It was special and when asked for the price was quoted one thing and then the bill came in it was $6 more. When asked, the waiter got no clear response, the dish itself was overdone, maybe that's why overcharge was noticed. Other than that, the food was amazing. Never had better cheese cake in my life, just melts away in your mouth.“
“A fresh, delightful option for lunch!Unfortunately, they were out of vegan cheese, but the server was quite knowledgeable about the options and made thoughtful and useful recommendations. The food was delicious, prices reasonable.Dietary restrictions: Vegetarian and vegan optionsParking: Paid parking garage nearby“
“A selection of 17 CBs on tap, including gluten-free options. The prices are reasonable, ranging from $7 to $8. A flight of four for $15, served uniquely on a small roller coaster! The brewing tanks are fine. And don't miss indulgent Stout, boasting a rich flavor with a 13% alcohol content.“
“This is such a cute bakery! They have a perfect array of cookies, cupcakes, scones, and other goodies! I've tried the scones, royal frosted cookies, and now the lemon loaf (GF) and have loved them all. It does tend to be busy but the staff is friendly and moves you on through. There is limited outdoor seating nearby so plan to bring your goodies outside or to the car. Prices are not listed for pastries and it isn't cheap - but I say worth it!“
“Tried this place after searching for some of the best croissants. You can walk down church with your eyes closed and the smell will guide you right inside. The gentleman who greeted us was super friendly and welcoming. We got a couple plain croissants and an almond croissant just because it looked delicious. We got to work on the almond croissant the minute we walked out of the door. I've never been to France but I can't imagine almond croissants getting much better than this. Wonderful texture and a delicious flavor. The plain croissants were also on point. That almond one was the star though. I'll be back for more of those and definitely to try some other goodies. The bread looked amazing as well. Go! ENJOY!!!“
“Gluten free cookies were all delicious! Wonderful staff. Wish there was some seating but they did direct me to their little coffee shop a few blocks away (which also sells their baked goods) and has delicious coffee “Hey Coffee People”Dietary restrictions: They offer vegan and gluten free options“
“Came here after hearing about it online and I am not disappointed. The small pizza is a great size for personal pizza. I've had fusion pizza before and I was excited to see flavors other than Tikka pizza. I got the lamb kabob pizza, packs a bit of heat. The crust leaves a bit to be desired but that's not a huge deal.“
“How happy I am to see this store open up in Hoboken! I've loved Boomerang Bites since I tried them at The Hive coffee shop in Hoboken and have been hooked since! (3-4 years now possibly!). They're these delicious, full of flavor small square bites that are kind of cookie/fudge/brownie/cake like depending on which flavor you have. It's really indescribable but they're sooo delicious! My favorite are the salted caramel, sweet caramel (without the salt), passion fruit, and the gluten free fruit and nut. They're the perfect sweet treat alone, after a meal or a small quick snack with coffee or tea. Upon my visit I also tried the chai tea with almond milk and added my own honey and it was also delicious. Great temperature and chai flavor--not too overpowering as some other chais I've had before. The service is great here, the women are really friendly and welcoming. And the ambience is very laid back and relaxing. I'm not a huge fan of the chair by the front windows as they feel very fragile to sit on but I look forward to checking out the backyard when the temperature warms up!“

“I wish I could give more stars. I had my boyfriend's surprise 60th birthday dinner on 11/11/23 and they went above and beyond and made sure everything was perfect. Everyone had an amazing time and the food was absolutely amazing. I wish I got our waiter's name because he was awesome. Thank you again for an amazing night.“
“We stopped by for the first time tonight and were thrilled with our experience. Alex and his team are making some of the best thin crust pizza in the area.We came in with a group of six, and they happily accommodated us. They were friendly, welcoming, and the food was delicious. The crust was thin thin thin, and the cheese and sauce were the perfect mix of salty and sweet. I wish I had taken photos of the rest of our food, but we ate it too quickly (that’s how good it is!) We had two plain small thin crust pies, a half pepperoni/half sausage, and a small thin crust with half “the works” and half veggie. We also got a salad and two Italian subs and an arugula salad. Everything we ate was fantastic!We also got to meet the owner Alex, who has put his heart and soul into this place. He is a stand-up guy who really cares about his customers. If you get the chance, stop in and try their pizza - you won’t be disappointed!“
“First time dining here and we were a party of 6 ..from the moment we walked in,The whole experience was amazing..Food, waite staff and service was exceptional.. I would highly recommend going to Amore, Woodland Park NJ ….and it’s a BYOB !!!!!“
“passed by this place during black friday and they immediately hooked me w/ the buy one drink, get one 50%. i got the lychee crepe and it was honestly super delicious, i was tempted on getting another one. we absolutely inhaled it LOL. the staff was super fast and efficient (although it took about 10 minutes to get our order due to the long long); but honestly, seeing the workers working nonstop and genuinely doing their job made me respect them and give them the 5 stars+tip. may be just a stand in the mall but they're better than the store in fort lee! definitely check it out if you're in the mall“
“Do I feel like I'm "stepping out" on Belgiovine's when I'm in Montclair but decide to come here instead? (I do.) But it'll only take one visit for you to be a true believer as well. It's small. You walk in and aside from the squad of friendly workers at both main counters you'll first encounter the amazing breads (and treats). All the shapes, styles and sizes your carb-loving heart desires will be found on one of these racks. Expertly made... dense, sturdy, flavorful, with a mighty crust (that'll give your Fixodent a workout!). Take a few steps towards the 'back' and now you're at the deli and it's overflowing with options. Each item looks bewitching and alluring and before you can even finish saying, "A pound of..." - somehow it's already sliced and bagged and the guy is waiting on the next item you need. (Maybe it's that luscious square of eggplant parm that they've intentionally left "posed" on top of the spatula or the Italian hot dog platter or that mountain of sauteed broccoli rabe that you know it's going to have that perfect 'bite'.) And as soon as you get home you immediately start crafting what's to be a most perfect sandwich with their seeded semolina, fresh ball of mootz (so creamy and delectable), and a few other odds-and-ends you snagged. Thank goodness this town is big enough for more than one amazing Italian deli and I don't have to pick which is my all-time fave.“
“This was my first time visiting Mattarello bakery and I will definitely come back!When I walked in - I was welcomed by smiling and happy barista.It was hard to choose what I wanted to try,they have a lot off different cookies,pastries and cakes,the lady who was working there helped me to choose the perfect pastries to try.I had bombolone donut with custard cream, lobster tail with chantilly cream and a large cappuccino.Everything tasted amazing.Fresh,a lot(!!!)of filling which made me really happy.For coffee lovers - they have different types of milk to choose for your cappuccino,latte or matcha latte.I had a cappuccino with almond milk and look at the cute bear!I can’t wait to come back another time to try something new!?☕️ “
“This is my favorite coffee shop and bakery in Rutherford! Every dessert I get from there is delicious and unique. My favorite is the citrus olive oil cakes. The coffee flavors are also delicious. Great if you want coffee and a light breakfast/sweet treat“
“A coworker gifted me a box of vegan cupcakes and vegan cake truffles for my bday. They were sooo good! The best cake/frosting I’ve had in my life. I recommend the lemon lavender cupcake and the red velvet cake truffle. Will definitely take a trip from the city to visit.“
“This place is a gem! We came here because our initial plan of eating at tribos periperi fell through when they were suddenly closed on Saturday (maps said it was open). I had heard of Indian inspired burgers and fried chicken before in Manhattan, so we decided to try this place out.\\n\\nThe place has 1 table by the window, then a bar with some chairs along the counter, and finally an area with several more tables.\\n\\nYou order at the counter, they'll ask your name, so I thought it was self pick-up, but in our case they brought the food to us.\\n\\nWe weren't sure what sauce to use on the chicken wings so we asked about the masala and the walla, as those two sounded the most special/distinct. They let us taste the sauces and we went with the walla, it's super good!\\n\\nThey didn't take long to prepare our lamb burger, beef burger (medium cooked ?) and our chicken wings, along with a side order of fries and a side order of sweet potato tots.\\n\\nThe burgers were delicious, juicy but not too messy, with a very nicely cooked thin patty full of flavor. The fries and tots were both incredible too, couldn't stop eating them! The tots are more interesting, but I do prefer the fries because well made fries are always the best side.\\n\\nThe chicken wings were small but packed with flavor (we also did get 7 instead of 6, probably because of the size? Or maybe they were just that nice). I only tried one because my husband is the one that loves wings the most, but I really enjoyed this one too!\\n\\nService was great! I expected it to be more self service, but they were very involved and made sure to explain what needed to be explained, and to ask about our meal.\\n\\nI'm not doing great at explaining, so I'll let the photos speak for themselves!“
“Had a great lunch experience as soon as I walked through the door! This beautiful, and comfortable resturant is located middle of a quite neighborhood. Ana was our server and took good care of us!Food and dessert was cooked to perfection! You must try the Calamari with Balsamic as your appetizer! Also their caprese salad was that best I ever had! For my main, I had one of the amazing specials, the Blackened Salman with Shrimp Risotto!! And for desert a well Creme Brulee. The ambiance is very grounding with light jazz and goregous stone walls! The food was great and the booth seats were so comfortable, I didn't want to leave...so i'll definitely be back!P.s. It's Byob wine!“

“Recently ordered a custom cake for my daughter’s Sweet 16, and they did not disappoint. She wanted three cakes (vanilla, chocolate, and the signature apple cake) designed to theme and this was perfection. I would have been happy enough because of how great they complemented the lavender butterfly theme, but they were so delicious there was almost nothing to take home! Definitely recommend!“
“Okafe continues to have the best baristas in Jcity. Service is always friendly. The atmosphere is relaxed. Sometimes the tables could be a little better maintained and get easily grimey and dirty from customer use.Dietary restrictions: Vegetarian options Ovo-veg options“

“I wanted to try the iraqi food so bad and I heard about this place and it was definitely worth the visit! their traditional Iraqi cuisine is absolutely mouthwatering!? From the kebabs to the eggplant salad , every bite is a taste of authenticity. The warm and the welcoming atmosphere adds to the overall experience. You should definitely give it a try!“
“I finally got to try the shrimp salad on rye and it was fantastic! Next up, I'm trying to score some of the apricot pastries! Don't miss out on all their pastries and cakes. The lox and cream cheese on rye was also amazing!Parking: 4-8 car parking behind the building.“
“I found my new favorite bakery! I was in the area craving a pastry and found this on google, did not disappoint! I tried a few things like a chocolate croissant, powdered donut, tiramisu, cheesecake and a strawberry creme puff. Every single one was delicious, fresh and light. I'm upset I didn't leave with more, a hidden gem and a must try!“
“First and foremost, before I even discuss the food I want to address the fact that all of the staff at the diner today seemed genuinely happy to be there. Having worked in food service, that’s generally unheard of. Big props to the owner/ management for creating an environment like that.Now the food: I’m gluten intolerant. I couldn’t contain my smile when I saw the extensive gluten free options and heard of the lengths the kitchen goes to ensure allergy safety. I can’t remember the last time I have had so many wonderful options and could order something so easily. I got the chicken fingers and they were wonderful.Lastly: Safe is a fantastic server and very clearly cares a lot about the diner patrons. Every table that gets him as their server is just as lucky to have him as the diner is.Thank you for a great dinner ? I will be back OFTEN“
“I love using this Company make the best Cupcakes. I use them every year for different occasions. It was my first time picking up order from Baked Bouquet in Edison, New Jersey. The service was good In the employees were very helpful. Wife said that the Cupcakes were very delicious and she loved them For her valentine gift.“
“Visited the restaurant for the first time on Easter Sunday with family. My experience from the moment I walked in being greeted by Joe, to the appetizers, main course & dessert was outstanding! What took me so long to get here!! Food was so delicious, the staff was excellent, just a perfect experience ‼️“
“Ordered door dash and this place is so yummy! Right now, I'm sick so I was craving a smoothie to make me feel better. I ordered the fruit smoothie and it was so delicious. For my meal, I ordered a chicken Cesar wrap and it was sooooo good. The wrap is huge! I could barely finish one half. Will definitely be ordering here more often. Loved my smoothie and meal. Thanks for a great meal!!“
“My belly has never been happier. Honestly though, the presentation, the portion, the flavor, everything is great about this place!! Chicken caprese panini is a home run. The lemonade tastes extremely fresh. Will be back time and time again.“
