“First time bringing my baby to a nice restaurant and not only was the table set up with high chair but there was a lot of space for the stroller. they were very accommodating. great service! My baby loved the bread! My family was very happy with the food.“
“Everything is delicious and the owners and people working there are so nice. We frequently go and sit there as it has a great atmosphere. We also placed a large order for a party and the owner himself delivered an item we forgot at pick up. Amazing food and coffee and even more amazing service!“
“Omg. I visited here for a late afternoon iced latte and I am so glad I did.The place is cuh-uteeeee, pastel colors. They serve guests their coffee/cappuccino drinks with the cutest little trays and glass jars.Oh and I had the MOST DELICIOUS cookie.. It's called Captain Crunch Cookie. ?.The staff is attentive and made us feel welcomed the moment we walked in.I'm definitely coming back!!!“
“First time at Frappe Joe and it was soooo good the coffee was amazing. I got a turkey bacon egg and cheese bagel and omg just so good!! And their Raspberry Crumbcake. And I believe the owner who helped me bc I looked so lost was soo nice to me and figured out my coffee order and everything. Super nice staff and good food, coffee and pastry!“
“Amazing little gem! Exquisite attention to detail in their delicious desserts. Texture, flavor, presentation and quality of ingredients are 5 star. Super helpful and friendly staff and lovely decor. Coffee and tea were great too. Highly 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 would definitely consider myself a regular. Love their sandwiches and bakery items. The best part about this restaurant is their amazing and friendly staff. Everyone is just so nice and willing to help/answer any questions you have. The bakery is very relaxing so you could definitely get some work done if that's your cup of tea. The only negative I must comment on is that their sandwiches sit under a heated lamp so their bagels can get a bit soggy. P.S. order online as soon as the bakery opens because they do sell out very quickly. Especially on the weekends!“
“The service here is truly 5 stars, worth it to return for that attention and comfort. They have the routine down and give you the attention you want and feel special on for a night out. Definitely recommend reservations as it got major crowded in the tables and around the bar. Their cocktail list is impressive and was not disappointing in execution. We had the stuffed mushrooms to start and it was juicy though underseasoned. Their steaks were exactly what you want and I recommend the au poivre sauce as a tangy condiment. That was memorable for sure. The place overall just seems dark and outdated in furnishings, especially in the bathrooms. Their food hits the mark and service makes it worth returning.“
“Ordered a gluten free, sugar free cake for my friends birthday. We were blown away by how good it was! Everyone loved it and would have never known there was no sugar!! Everyone who works there is super friendly also when we had questions about what was in the cake! 10 out of 10!!“
“Best Taylor ham egg and cheese around. I told the owner I traveled 3,000 miles to try this place. He said if you don't like it for whatever reason, we'll make it again! The service was excellent and classic Jersey vibes. I will come here again when I visit town. I highly recommend this place.“
“We had a private dinner experience for my husband’s birthday. The food was delicious and it felt like we were having a big dinner party at home - the atmosphere was perfect and our guests loved it. Laura and her staff were amazing. I cannot recommend Farinolio enough!“
“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.“
“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!“

“The confidence and care in their small business shows when you're a first timer in the coffee shop. They ask the right questions when it comes to the coffee or tea you're looking for. Very delicious and inviting coffee. It's seasonal coffee beans are always changing so make sure you're ready for a great new experience of coffee I miss the Ecuadorian papaya coffee they had. So good after it cooled down a bit“
“Walked in on a busy Saturday evening with my wife. The place was bustling but we were able to grab two seats at the bar after waiting about 10 minutes. Sara was tending bar and she greeted us right away. We shared a steak, arugula salad, a side of onion rings, and had a couple of drinks. One of the best meals we've had in a while on datenight and Sara's service was top notch. My wife and I go to Roots often and we found the food and service better here. Atmosphere was more authentic too. Hope to be back soon.“
“We absolutely love Dolce's. The food is top notch, the owner John and his staff are the best, the prices reasonable, and it's the BEST restaurant to host a party! It is BYOB and they are the most accommodating staff around. They treat their customers like royalty so visit John and his team for the best food and get treated like a VIP! Thank you, John!!

“I ordered garlic cheese bread and lamb cheese bread and chicken achari pizza and Mediterranean combo twist and everything was on point.only disappointment was they didn't have halal wings or at least not yet I was looking fwd for mango habanero wings .the guy said they coming soon.“
“Amazing gluten and nut free restaurant. Uncle Skippy aka James Restivo is the owner and just the kindest owner. Cute vibe to the overall decor and the food is really delicious! I've had their gluten free pizza, wraps and veggie burger. All 5+ stars!Dietary restrictions: gluten and nut free“
“I was impressed with this restaurant, we enjoyed the food as well as the ambiance and service. I came for a business lunch. Ate inside the porch area that was enclosed. I thought the service was very good in terms of attentiveness. The food we got was flat bread pizza for appetizer, pepperoni with hot honey was delicious. The burger tasted great cooked perfectly when I ordered a medium, presentation was nice as I ordered a salad instead of French fries. Most importantly they had Aqua Pana for water. I did think the prices were a bit inflated and expensive however their service made up for it.“
“Jimmy provided the food for our family and friends after my husband's funeral. Everything was excellent. He went out of his way to accomodate us and made sure everything was set up and ready for us when we arrived from the funeral. Wonderful people to work with and prices were reasonable.“
“Excellent allergy friendly bakery! It is awesome to know that a bakery with such an amazing selection is safe to eat for my kids while everyone else is enjoying the same desserts. Their breads are amazing by the way!! Great job two fields!!“

“You get a very good size pita here! About the size of a biiiiig overstuffed burrito. The smoked eggplant in the falafel supreme is soooo good. Crepe was good too, it's one big crepe folded into a square instead of the usual rolls I'm used to. Definitely a share worthy size. Quick and friendly service too :)“
“Cafe Amici is a wonderful Pizzeria. Nice atmosphere and great customer service. The young lady at the counter is very professional, courteous and efficient. The new owners are friendly and show interest in providing exactly what customers expect. I appreciate the staff at this restaurant and their effort to serving satisfying lunches and dinners.“
“Service was fantastic. I placed my order for an assortment of cupcakes the morning of the event. Then called a few hours later to see if I could come earlier to pick them up. Great service. Pick up Window was organized and no wait really. Cupcakes were packed so cute and boy were they delicious. Will order again thank you“
“Loved pizza before, but cant anymore due to recent health issues. Love that this place has "no cheese" and "light sauce" as options! I know that "isnt pizza anymore", but it's closer to pizza than I recently have been having!Dietary restrictions: Options for no cheese, less sauce, etc. Excellent!Parking: 20 spots shared amongst a few businessesWheelchair accessibility: There is a ramp“
“Freud de Sel is an amazingly dangerous bakery to my waistline and wallet. When I go in, I can’t resist the call of those tantalizing pastries and desserts. Everything that I’ve tried has been wonderful. Their baguette is perfection. All the desserts are works of art. Love that we have such an authentic French bakery in Chatham. Glad it is a bit of a drive from my house to keep me out of trouble. lol.“
“my review is for the amazing pepperoni slice I just grabbed for lunch. it had a crispy, thin crust with no flop. the sauce was a nice balance of sweet and tangy. the cheese was not excessive, and the pepperoni wasn’t too greasy. I added pepper flakes and oregano because that’s how I like my pizza, but it would be perfectly delicious without it.“
“Harvest Bistro is absolutely incredible! This has been a favorite lunch spot of ours for years. We also recently worked with them to cater my son's baptism party and we were so impressed. Every single guest commented on how delicious the food was. Several people even told us it was the best food they had ever had from a caterer. Tushar is so helpful and easy to work with too. We'll definitely be going back to Harvest Bistro for all of our future parties!“
“I took mom here the day before Easter, and we had the best time. The staff was amazing and the place was clean, clean, clean. The music was great. I can listen to that type of music they were playing ALL DAY.Now, you have to get the veal Picatta as it was cooked to perfection. The calamari was also amazing. Crispy and done well. Very nice job!! There was enough for 3 people we finished it all. Thank you all for a great experience. I hope you all had a wonderful Easter, and WE WILL BE BACK.“
“I love Coffee Box, but most of the time, a majority of their bakery items are not available in the morning before 8:30 AM, and some of the remaining bakery items are not fresh. This is not acceptable for a shop of this caliber, which otherwise maintains a good standard. The service is inconsistent, which is understandable, but please have the bakery items ready to go when you open the shop at 7:45 AM.“
“I had a fantastic experience here! The food was so good that I wanted seconds of everything we ordered. The service was also fantastic; our server was incredibly nice and helpful, consistently checking in on our table to see if we needed anything and ensuring we never waited too long. The atmosphere was delightful, and everything was clean and neat. If I could, I would give this restaurant six stars. I will definitely be going back soon!“
“I used to love this place. I wonder if they’re still opened. I went on a Sunday afternoon. Sign on door said closed. Two weeks later I called on a Saturday because I didn’t want to take the drive to find out they’re closed. No answer at all. I called several times. If you’re still opened please get it together. I miss this place.Update: ok I gave it another try. They were open and I had the best vegan broth. Now the immunity is my second favorite. Thanks for getting it together ???“

“Strolling through town a wanted a little snack to go with my healthy smoothie from earlier. I walked in and was warmly greeted by a cheerful guy. After checking out the menu, I asked him what his favorites were and he made all the tacos sound so delicious. I was kinda of leaning towards a bowl, but after hearing all the taco goodness I grabbed a Cajun shrimp taco to hold me over till later.Turns out the guy I was chatting with was the owner, Todd. Really great to interact with him, super passionate about this place.Service was fast, taco was $6ish, and it was really tasty. I should've grabbed a deal for three, but I'll be back to eat more another day. You should too!“
“We ordered a cookie decorating kit and cheesecake for Christmas. That was by far THE BEST cheesecake we’ve ever had. The cookie kit was great too. The smell inside the bakery was amazing and the actual cakes were too!! Definitely ordering again.“
“The food and wine were outstanding - one of the best meals I've had for a long time. One of us had Osso Buco, I had Filet and my partner had a Chilean sea bass special. Each dish was perfect. The pumpkin cheesecake was creamy light and spiced beautifully. The restaurant had a lovely warm ambiance.“
“The food is solid. Had a falafel sandwich and hummus. They both were very good. My daughter and son had chicken and beef shawarma sandwiches and enjoyed them. The server was very sweet and kind and took good care of us. We are used to the location in Metuchen which is nicer inside. The seating was rather pedestrian. I think they were having problems with their exhaust, as there was an unpleasant smoke from the grill wafting in the air. Next time, takeout.Vegetarian options: Falafels, salad, hummus and other apps“
“Juice Caboose is a fantastic choice for anyone who wants to eat healthy without sacrificing flavor or variety. Whether you're looking for a quick snack or a full meal, the options are plentiful and the service is top-notch. If you're in the area, be sure to make a stop at Juice Caboose - you won't be disappointed!“
“Took 3 of my kids for some slices today and was pleasantly surprised when they rang me up... $5 lunch special for two (delicious) plain slices and a can of soda? What?!? I didn't think shops did this anymore - especially ones with slices this nice. Even if you put the price aside for a moment, a tasty sauce atop a thin crust with a satisfying crunch makes this one fine slice. So glad we discovered this place.“
“This place is my freaking go to for a salmon salad! I order a "caesar" salad with salmon. They give you such a generous piece of fish on top of the salad. I put caesar in quotes because it doesn't taste like your regular caesar dressing - but it still tastes good lol“
“Whenever I bike want a smoothie is my number 1 place to stop. Whenever I want lunch it always a top choiceIt’s the original smoothie place of WoodbridgeAnd it we presses our town’s voiceAlso really cheap compared to other placesGranola is superior!!!Vegetarian options: Well you don’t really find meat in smoothiesKid-friendliness: A nice lively atmosphere on Main StreetDietary restrictions: Pretty focused on health foods and fruits.“
“Van Gogh's Ear Cafe has been a fixture in union for quite a few decades. Yes decades ! Atmosphere is very different and unique let's say it has evolved from one year to the next. Sorta my grandma used to have one or I remember seeing it somewhere. Service is very efficient. Very on the money. Although the decor changes by the minute the food is not to be overlooked. Especially there BLT it's Outstanding to say the least. A must try.“
“We order Tito’s very often. It’s not always consistent but tonight it was really good. Everything was fresh, well cooked and fast. I will say anytime it’s not good and so am asked for a review, I let them know and they always make good on it.“
“This is kind of a sleepy bakery. But their pastries and donuts are wonderful. They’re the kind of place that you can ask for a specific pastry in the tray, but this will frustrate the person behind the counter and you might end up like Seinfeld and soup. ?I asked about buying a dozen donuts and was shocked by the price. There isn’t a dozen discount or the like. You simply pay for a dozen pastries at a few bucks a piece. Kvetching aside, the pastries are wonderful and, for something special, i could see buying a dozen.This is also the kind of place to go early because i have the impression that they sell out in the late morning.Fwiw, coffee was meh.Parking: Small, free lot. There’s also street parking. Idk if it’s paid or free.“
“Simply amazing cake owner was just so sweet he was just as excited as i was to see my cake. I would recommend always. The size & details on my cake was just perfect, tasted amazing with fresh strawberries yum ! Thank you so much for making my birthday “
“Masala Chai is actually the chai Indians make at home, not the pseudo versions you have at cafes. They make the chai right in front of you in a chai pan ?Bombay sandwich and Avocado toast are a must to try.I visit New Brunswick for meetings, and this place a much drop in for breakfast and chai.“
“Update to my previous review. While it was certainly frustrating, the owner, Vinnie, called me several times afterwards to make things right. He apologized, took ownership, and was genuine. I couldn't ask for much more. I plan to order from them again given Vinnie's hands-on approach and personal touch. Their sandwiches were actually also very tasty (we got a mixed platter).“
“I ordered a two tiered cake for a 50th wedding anniversary, it came out so beautiful. Exactly my vision that I shared with Bovellas cake artist. Very kind to coordinate with. The cake was delicious. All the guest complimented on how delicious and fresh the cake tasted. Very happy. I will continue to have Bovellas for all my celebrations. Thank you :)“
“Went to yestoday, yesterday and got the bubble cone. The whole experience was amazing and you can’t say that often lately, we got the bubble cone. Zoey was so helpful with explaining the menu and choices. Wasn’t doing anything today, we decided to go back. This time twice as good and if you sit outside they even bring it out to you ! Atmosphere is great and sitting outside is a vibe on a nice night“
“A long-time family favorite for pizza Friday and a staple in the Scotch Plains - Fanwood community! Expect delicious thin crust pizza with the perfect ratio of sauce, cheese, and toppings - never too greasy and consistently good. The family's go-to pizza order (never disappoints!): 1 Large - 1/2 Cheese and 1/2 Eggplant and Fresh Mozzarella 1 Large - Fresh Mozzarella Vodka Pizza My family typically orders takeout from Fabios, but the restaurant space is very nice - just small. Things to keep in mind: Estimated wait times are not always accurate, especially on a Friday night (anticipate your order taking longer than expected)“
