50 Best Cafes near Hillsdale

“Been coming here whenever I’m around Hillsdale for good REAL food. Foodie at heart. Small place with a few tables for 2-4 people but for me really a good breakfast/lunch spot. Place never lets me down. Even met the owner and had a great convo so not sure you should trust these other 1 star reviews. Good, real, unique food and drink options you won’t find served elsewhere ?“

“Great music and hookah. They put a lot of work into this place to make it comfortable and such a vibe. Definitely a place I’ll keep going to on weekends with friends. Weekdays are more chill, I go sometimes to just relax and have a hookah while listening to good music and being in a cool atmosphere. The ambiance is everything and comfortable couches.“

“The Healthy in Dyckman Juice Bar is one of my new favorites! The variety of food options available is mind boggling and I mean that in a good way. As someone who doesn’t eat dairy, I love it here. My favorite thing I’ve tried so far is the Salmon rice bowl. It’s so healthy, delicious, filling, and well priced! The avocado toast with the eggs was hitting too! You must give this gem a try. Thanks Juan for your great service today.Dietary restrictions: If you’re vegan, vegetarian, or don’t eat dairy this place you’ll feel right at home. Healthy vibes apply.“

“Great coffee, great guy! Sam’s the best! His homemade treats and delicious coffee highlight my day. Always a pleasure to visit and catch up with Sam, he treats everyone like family. I highly recommend Kiosk 250!“

“Excellent crepes & Eggs Benedict“

“ambiance, quality of coffee and sandwiches, friendly barista, good location!“

“I read their amazing reviews, I had to add me 2 cents. Definitely try their French toast. Brings back my memories of being a kid, and filling as f...... Great for breakfast, lunch or dinner!!!“

“Albert’s’s has been a go to favorite for many years and Albert is an excellent host. The food never disappoints and the service is always great. I recommend Albert’s HoHokus whole heartedly.“

“Incredible atmosphere, selection of items, and attention to detail. The owner is very kind and passionate about this place! Definitely visit. Tried the Ghazal Beirut, garlic bread tour, and Lebanese Saj (cheese & herbs special). All were wonderful and tasted delicious. Can’t wait to be back and recommend to friends!“

“I was back in my hometown for a short trip and wanted to work remote from a cafe. I did a quick Yelp search and stumbled across Marimba Cafe - the new name caught my eye and the aesthetics and offerings here solidified my decision. I don't think I've ever come across a sit down Latin cafe here in Bergen County so to me, since moving away, it's the first of its kind. Also first of its kind to proudly offer CBD infused menu items. I believe they just opened in November! The vibes in here are immaculate. My favorite feature is the stone floor - it just transports you somewhere new! The color scheme in here is also appealing, and the Latin music made me want to dance while I took on meetings haha. Overall, really solid branding and concept. Since I was working west coast hours, I spent the whole afternoon into close here. It's a really great place to work as there were other people working remote. They have comfortable seating and outlets conveniently located along the booth. I will say though that the booth seating was just a tad too high for the table so it took some time getting used to. Also, they do play the music fairly loud (a must) in here so it can be a tad distracting if you're taking meetings and have to speak. Since I stayed here for over 5 hours, I was able to observe the sense of community Marimba has fostered - they greet customers like friends! I also saw on their Instagram that they host community events like paint nights and dance nights and support other local businesses with their La Placita Sundays. I love everything this business is about. I ordered the coquito latte hot and a pan de bono. The latte was solid and I wish the pan de bono was just a bit bigger! I would love to try more here. Congrats to the owners of Marimba, I wish the cafe tons of business and success! I definitely want to visit again when I'm back in town.“

“Oh my!! If you pass this spot up you are missing out. We ordered the cupcakes, chocolate chip cookies, and Cinnabons. The cupcakes were so soft and velvety. I was expecting had and grainy but these cupcakes are built as if you made regular ones and pulled them out the oven. My mouth watered eating them. The chocolate chip cookies were also soft and delicious. This place needs a stop when you're in the neighborhood. Even for the non vegan crowd these baked good will leave you surprised and ordering additional.“

“So good that I am almost afraid to share this secret gem for fear that is will be overrun with coffee-obsessed crowds! I cannot overstate just how amazing it is! Delicious sandwiches, phenomenal almond croissants and perfectly brewed coffee. I drive from NY just to stop here. Love!“

“Excellent customer service. Even though I got my bike from a different dealer in a different state, I needed help finding a very special piece. Despite me trying to contact the bike manufacturer, I was unable to get the piece and decided to ask Sunny at Piermont cycle for help. Without hesitation, he used his knowledge and contacts and I was able to order the replacement piece so I can ride again!!“

“Everything about this place is fantastic.You won't find anyone else like Amanda, John, & Kerri here. They all know me by my name.The only thing I can't get past is the extreme entitlement of the customers that come here. People brush past me, or even see me struggling to get through the door while they are in the way, and cannot be bothered to move. And when I go "excuse me," I am met with frowns, lol.Today was the second time someone did that to me - frown when I walked past them being in the way as I wait for my turn to order while they take 5 minutes standing and chatting away with the cashier, as if no other customers were waiting. It's not mean necessarily, but inconsiderate.I really don't wish for any issues here. I wish people in this town who equally enjoy CD cafe as much as me would practice spatial awareness more. It's the Cafe Diem way to walk away happy!! As long as I am welcome here, I will continue to support CD cafe!“

“Such an adorable place! Absolutely love the ambiance! Beautiful design and layout, I’m a big fan of clean minimalist aesthetic when it comes to interior design. The space is bright and uses the space really well with the cement benches and cute wood tables.Delicious, creative espresso drinks, perfectly dialed in espresso, and great tasting beans. I got a Cortado and the Peace latte (smoked rosemary, espresso, steamed milk). Both were fantastic!! The smoked rosemary gave a nice savory note with a nice complexity, which I love!I am always grateful for places like this where ingredients are respected and you can taste the passion they have for the coffee in their drinks. Nothing is overlooked. Thank you for that!“

“Love everything about this place, from the vibe to the staff to the coffee. The vegan croissant was delicious and the super friendly staff, Ashley and Amy, made an iced latte version of the seasonal amaretto cold brew drink for me and my friend. Honestly I can’t rate the service high enough, definitely recommend checking it out!“

“Saw this place called Mr.Waffles. Looked appetizing so I checked it out. Omg freaking amazing. Have to check out their full menu of waffles & juices. I ordered the Waffles 4 in 1 Pistachio Nutella, white chocolate, kinder bueno, fruit as you can see from the photo looked & tasted amazing!!!!“

“Some of the best local coffee in the area.“

“the bread soup and pastries are excellent also the crumb cake none better“

“I really love what the owner, Woobin, has done for the space that was prior to now, an unsuccessful Korean bakery. He really brought it to life with his creative abilities that spill into interior design and not just his signature dishes he's perfected in the kitchen.Lately though, with the expansion of the business and increasing traffic of customers, I've noticed he's recruited the assistance of additional members of his team to help manage the restaurant. The owner and his business partner, A, will always be like family to me. I've been here for them since the beginning and it's really beautiful to see how they've evolved and cultivated a cult level status of love from all the locals in this area, not exclusive to only Leonia.Other than the one unfriendly lady working there, it's always a good and happy time at the one and only SS. Happy munching and snacking!! :)“

“EXCELLENT SANDWICHES, GOOD COFFEE“

“The three of us went for a late breakfast. We were seated quickly. The place was about 40% full. We ordered food and then the lunch crowd arrived. Our server was very good and took our order with some special notes without fail. This is our fifth time eating here, and Giovanna did not fail on the food. Cheese steak sandwhich had Sautee onions and plenty of thinly sliced steak. It was delicious. We also had eggs over easy, which was done perfectly. The eggs had those fried little eggs of egg whites. Link sausage was tender, juicy, and very flavorful. Scramble eggs were light and tasty, sliced avocados on top were fresh and complemented the dish nicely. It also came with a fresh fruit cup. A complementary refresh on the coffee is a nice touch. The only downside is that when it's busy, the wait time is long. We have waited .45 mins for a table. Street parking only.“

“Came for breakfast with my teen daughter on a Saturday morning. It was packed and it was about a 40 min wait. The entryway is tiny. We ordered Nutella crepes for the kiddo and the Monte cristo sandwich for me. Both were very good. I also had a side of home fries. They were crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside. Perfect. I also ordered a caramel iced coffee and it was way too sweet. I couldn't finish it. My daughter had a lemonade and it was the perfect balance of tart and sweet. Service was very good despite it being very crowded. Oh and the vanilla cupcakes with pink frosting were really good! Would come back.“

“Excellent food an beautiful ambience. Desserts were delicious“

“Two visits and 2 for 2 on the quality. Locally owned and run. Clean tables, swept floor, friendly knowledgeable service. This store is what Starbucks used to be in terms of excellent coffee drinks and delicious pastries (some from Balthazar) including a waffle croissant creation called croffle. Nice place to enjoy a cup of Joe and chill or get some work do“

“Ramona is a gracious hostess. The chef adeptly prepares delicious food. The frittata was divine. Choose specialties from the Breakfast or Lunch Menu. Stop by for your gourmet comestibles!“

“The best healthy breakfast I've ever had the apple cinnamon and the Irish soda bread scone were amazingly good and the egg whites with the spinach and onion, tomato and grilled chicken. Best thing I've ever had. I just love the presentation on how you made my food :) great job on making my food the egg whites are the healthiest thing I've ever had I would highly recommend going to this place in my opinion egg whites are the best option for a healthy choice.“

“I went for the exceptional brownie but I stayed for the ice coffee. It was delicious!Homemade ice cream did not disappoint!!!! SO GOOD!!!!Parking: Side street parking was perfect!Kid-friendliness: My 9 year old niece was in AWE when the brownies were brought to the table. The mini brownies they have available are perfect if you don't want your kids to have to much sugar.“

“So many drink options! Excellent coffee, you can customize in every way possible. They offer lots of recommendations if you're overwhelmed and can't make a decision. Servers are always patient, friendly and knowledgeable. Scones are good and the breakfast wraps are the absolute best. The only two drawbacks are that it is quite pricey, and it takes an awfully long time for food orders. I would get breakfast here every morning but it's at least a 15 min wait if you order any food, and there's almost always a line to order. Overall, it's a very good coffee shop and provides an excellent alternative to just the usual Dunkin and Starbucks in the area.Parking: There are only a few spots in front of the coffee shop but you can park further down past C&RC or near Ernie's, if needed.“

“My family and I just had lunch here and the staff was amazing. The food was phenomenal. The ambience was wonderful and the entire staff made it feel like it was home. I highly recommend going here. 10/10“

“great place to have a breakfast and dinner“

“I came here on a Sunday afternoon to work. It's a small place, so there are not many tables, but they have WiFi and outlets. The cafe is covered in real plants. The servers were kind and friendly and you could tell the barista was passionate about the art of coffee. The food and drinks were great: * Matcha Yuzu - 10/10 - The matcha flavor is not strong and earthy, so it's perfect for non matcha lovers. The yuzu syrup adds a nice brightness of flavor, and the addition of the sparkling water makes the drink extra refreshing. I saw the barista hand whip the matcha too. * Cortado - 8/10 - I'm not a coffee drinker, so take this review with a grain of salt. This drink is pretty strong since it's equal parts espresso and milk, but I liked the flavor of the beans. * Chocolate Croissant - 8.5/10 - The pastry was buttery, flakey and light. I wish there was a bit more chocolate tho because only 1/3 of the bites had chocolate. Overall, I would definitely come again for the vibes and food. I want to try their hot food options next time.“

“The best Bakery in all of Bergen county. I travel all the way from Edgewater for their cakes. Any custom cakes Julian and his team are my GO TO. Highly recommend to all my friends and family!!! Thank you guys for all your hard work!!! Here is a photo of their latest creation for my husbands 30th!!!“

“My first time here, even though I have passed by it many times before. I was looking for a place where I can order a salad at a reasonable price. Boy! This place is the place to go for the best salad in town so far. Delicious, good portion, and the best price. can’t wait to come back again and try other things on their menu. They look amazing and delicious.“

“What an awesome discovery out of nowhere. We were in the area for a whole different reason and driving on the boulevard we found parking right in front of this place. Stepping in we were overcome by the sweetness of the menu as well as the two hostesses behind the counter. We decided to try a few things, when one of them mentioned that the loukoumades just came out so we went for that as well. I have to say the loukoumades were the highlight so fresh and tasted delicious. If we are ever in the area again this will be a must stop for us. Very cute place indeed.“

“Stopped on a bike ride where hundreds of other riders who had ridden there as their destination. I enjoyed one of the better lobster rolls I’ve eaten in a long time! Great deserts, burgers and other food. Highly recommend this destination1“

“What hours is this establishment actually open? My DoorDash and Uber Eats orders are consistently accepted and then cancelled without explanation. I've tried the smoothies a few times and they are great. It's unfortunate that the hours posted are for an 8 AM open when that seems incorrect.“

“Amerika’da kahvaltı yaptıığım tatlı yediğim en güzel mekanlardan bir tanesi kesinlikle tavsiye ediyorum. Türkiye’deki lezzetleri buraya taşımışlar resmen. Ve ayrıca kendinizi evinizdeymiş gibi hissedebileceğiniz tek mekan ?“

“My favorite restaurant in NJ, if you haven’t visited you’re missing out! Delicious quality food, fantastic service, intimate counter top and regular table seating available, and a short wait for your food. Reserve a table or get there and be prepared to wait, this place is usually hopping. The staff are amazing folks and are sure to make you laugh and smile. You’ll feel like family every time you visit. Stop in today!Wheelchair accessibility: Accesible curb, door is manual, and inside could be hard to navigate in a wheelchair during peak times. But during slow times there is plenty of room to maneuver and the staff has easily adjusted seating for wheelchair users to join a table.“

“Amazing omelettes and great service“

“taskin bakery best of the best furkan very friendly good service everything so fresh and testing delicious“

“Small little coffee and pastry shop. Not much selection with donuts but enough variety for those that are picky. I tried the marble donut and the cinnamon roll. The donut was pretty good but the cinnamon roll was pretty average. My fiancé had the raspberry jelly and the maple bacon donut which he said was really good. Atmosphere was very chill, where you can come in and read a book after ordering a coffee and donut.“

“One of the best cafes out there! They make you feel at home, clean and their food is amazing! Highly recommend! To the staff, you guys are awesome! Especially the guy with the baby yoda apron! Keep up the good work! We will definitely be back and make this our go to spot!“

“Cliff's cafe served a great breakfast! I was very satisfied with both the food and the service. You can enjoy some sun while eating at their outdoor tables. Food was served quickly and everyone was very attentive! I highly recommend it!“

“Great food and servers! definitely going back. Fresh squeezed OJ!“

“Such a beautiful place the staff there is so accommodating and sweet. The drinks and food are to die for.“

“Probably the best coffee I have ever had!! Beautiful space, lovely atmosphere, and such friendly faces!“

“Amazing coffee location!! I love visiting CoZie for their unique fresh coffee!! The inside is nice and cozie with some unique places to sit however since everyone loves visiting they are usually taken. The menu is extensive with unique coffees like ferrero rocher (they give you a with an actual Ferrero rocher), dulce de leche, Cinnamon Toast Crunch, Girl Scout cookies, rose and more. Ive ordered so many different coffees and the salted caramel cold brew is definitely my favorite!!! It is delicious, their coffee is always fresh and tasty. Their cake pops are kids favorites, with unique ones like s’mores that has mini crackers and marshmallows! I definitely recommend, it is delicious! Around the same price of other coffee chains but much better. Support local!!Dietary restrictions: Offer lots of drinks and different milks“

“the best in every category“

“I stopped at this place on a very hot day on my way out of the nail salon next door. I got a bottle of water (because it was even too hot for ice cream lol) and after checking my wallet and realized I didn’t have $1 I took out my card and said “I guess there’s a limit to using a card huh” the woman said “yesss sorry! But if you don’t have it you can bring $1 tomorrow or next time!” I had it, just in change. But felt the need to make this review because she was so sweet to offer a free bottle of water!“
