“Devan was awesome at the store - first time here and he was showed us chocolates and he was even gracious enough to allow me to put in an extra order after my son tried the mango and loved it. Bought chocolates, gelato and sorbet! Thanks for the great service. Will be back with friends and familyKid-friendliness: The team working here are super friendly and accommodating!Wheelchair accessibility: It’s big enough to wheel in and strollers“
“Awesome place. I always get lunch here. Everything is good but my favorite is the Chicken pita thing. It's grilled chicken with lettuce, tomato, onion, and honey mustard. It's very very delicious. They have tables but it's very cramped and if youre going to eat there don't expect privacy, they tables are super close together.“
“Pass this place every Monday and finally stopped in. This isn't a grab a pot and pour you a coffee spot. The barista measured and weighed out the coffee and then put it in a filter. She poured the water in and the coffee slow dripped out into the cup. You doctor it yourself with the provided sugar (2 types), honey, milk and half and half. The coffee was very good. Not bitter like some coffee places. Price wise is wasn't crazy expensive ($4.20 for a 20oz cup).“
“This coffee shop is truly dedicated to their craft. With coffee beans directly from the owners family farm, to fun and unique espresso drinks, the shop is such a treat to visit. And the staff are always pleasant and very hardworking. I make sure to bring anyone visiting NJ here because there’s no other shop like it!“
“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.“
“5 Stars for everything. You just can't go wrong. People are awesome, drinks: awesome. And their food is awesome. Imaging you were thinking of going to starbucks and getting microwaved eggs. What in the world is wrong with our society lmao.“
“I had their Adeni tea and Mofawar coffee on two separate occasions and both were outstanding. I thought the tea was the best thing I ever had but then I tried the coffee and was truly blown away. I will definitely be back to try more of the items they have to offer.“
“No matter the time of day, they are kind and attentive. There has not been a single thing I bought and did not love.I cannot express how delicious their coffee is. Black with a double shot of espresso and there isn't a droplet of bitterness. ✨Dietary restrictions: Vegan and GF options“
“The staff is super friendly, and the food is amazing! Since I moved to the area I cannot stop ordering from this place (and I have tried allllll the local poke spots when I am saying this)! They are quite literally the best poke around! And their bubble tea is great too! Highly “
“I went to HD with my Frat Bro Mike Odom for lunch. We arrived on an afternoon when the chef was doing a presentation on eating and preparing vegan foods. It was so different than anything I'd ever experienced in dining. A eatery that was concerned about what and how I put food in my body.The selection of items was awesome. I can't wait to go back to try more vegan selections.I'm not a full convert, but I may have added quite a lot more to my food menu.“
“KANELA is simply the best! Demi and Dina are two of the kindest, most hospitable business owners around. We tried several baked items, including croissants, guava cheese strudel, and white chocolate macadamia nut cookies. The guava cheese strudel was so delicious and unique, and the croissants were so fresh and mouth-watering. We highly recommend this cafe for the amazing food, friendly owners, and inviting atmosphere.“
“Kubo Coffee and Creamery has earned my consistent 5/5 rating ! It's my favorite spot in New Jersey, always providing an excellent experience. The flavors are consistently delightful, making it a top-notch destination for a satisfying treat.“
“Got the UBE PANNA COTTA. Was surprised that it was so good. A lot of Ube flavor. So sweet and tasty. Wife says, “Very good!” Also my son had the CHOCOLATE BUNDT CAKE, son gave it 10⭐️s! “That was SO good!” Wife says it was the best as well. Daughter had the CHOCOLATE MOUSSE and she loved it. The CHICKEN SPINACH HAND PIE was excellent, as per my wife. “Can we go back for more?”, says my daughter.“
“After reading my first review regarding the beans being burnt, Robert responded. Very stand- up of him to replace the order with much better roasted beans. You can actually smell coffee. We had the Brazil this morning and the flavor was medium, not acidic, a little nutty. Greatly appreciate a business that stands up to their products and respects their customers. Hard to find these days. Thank you“
“We had a party of 16, from the minute we walked in until we left everything was beyond perfect. The staff is simply the best. Jocelyn especially helped my 90 year old mom upstairs and into the bathroom! Our server handled our large party with ease and grace and was so so sweet! Frank A went above and beyond to make sure we had everything we needed the whole time! Go there, you will not be disappointed!Wheelchair accessibility: There is a ramp as well as an elevator to get upstairs! No stairs anywhere else.“
“I love that the kids have a safe place to go but it does get quite noisy when you're trying to write and things. And sometimes the music gets really loud. Other wise the sweets are really good and it's a cool space but not for those seeking other adult only “
“Loved my experience here at this girly pink cafe. The shop keeps the music at a reasonably low level (at least while I was there during the week) so work can be done. Drinks are great and food menu is extensive. This place definitely needs to be a staple in everyone’s WFH cafes. ?“
“An amazing experience from the the walk in the door to me leaving and putting on my coat! The beautiful atmosphere is breathtaking and the staff were very pleasant. I will definitely return !!!Parking: There is a paint parking lot across the street and also metered pay parking“
“Had Breakfast with a friend here this morning. Brilliant food, excellent staff and stunning space with exceptional artwork. The food is an original take on multicultural favorites and the atmosphere was super welcoming; like visiting a good friend's home. I'm looking forward to my next visit and bringing my family here! I highly recommend Meet me at Madison's!“
“Over the years I have found this cozy little corner place to be one very charming breakfast and lunch establishment. Most of my transactions here have been of the grab and go variety, but the couple of times I have actually been able to have a sit down, my experience has been most pleasant. The service has always been tremendous, and not monotone businesslike. My favorites here are the omelettes and scrambled eggs, and the french toast. The coffee is quite good too. They put a lot of effort into their work and it shows. Too bad they close early.Vegetarian options: There are a few non meat dishes available. Examine the menu carefully.Kid-friendliness: The couple of kids I have seen there all seemed to enjoy themselves. The server was bright and cheerful to them.Parking: Being on busy corner with no immediate parking available due to traffic restrictions, you will have to do a little walking to get there.Wheelchair accessibility: The entrance is accommodating and inside one can maneuver around“
“Found this place through Google and it was the best surprise. We love ice cream and this competes with all the top jersey destinations. highly recommend — support a small business and hopefully they will get a bigger better space so that more people will find them and enjoy.“
“I feel compelled to comment on the one-star reviews regarding the accusations of racism, as I find it deeply unsettling. The criticism leveled against the staff, suggesting a lack of attention, strikes me as a misunderstanding, particularly in light of my personal experiences. My autistic son, who is an employee of Seven Scoops, often struggles with eye contact and can unintentionally say things that might be misinterpreted.The staff at Seven Scoops has been nothing short of remarkable in their interactions with my son. They have significantly boosted his self-esteem, patiently engaged with his frequent text messages, and consistently welcomed his presence and contributions. This level of support and acceptance is a testament to their character and dedication.I urge the authors of the negative reviews to reconsider their words and instead become aware of your surroundings before placing judgement on our children with special needs.“
“The cutest, quaintest coffee shop you will ever see! I love small businesses, because they take such care and devotion into handcrafting every drink, and you can see whyAnd if you can’t decide you can get a flight! The tiramisu, and the Italian rainbow cookie are definitely my two favorites!“
“I worked with Ma’s Tea House for a corporate event. Initially we wanted them to come on site at our NYC office location at make fresh bubble tea as people came into the office, which they do offer, but the building had a lot of specific requests which made it difficult to coordinate. We ended up deciding to switch to a delivery of 100 bubble teas in the morning for my event that same afternoon. From start to finish, they were very easy to work with and responsive. I stopped by the shop and Justin worked with me to decide on what would be best for delivery and what flavors would be good options. I even requested they add my company’s stickers to the cups along with their own and they did. Delivery was a little tough (but that was due to the location of the office in midtown, police officers not allowing vehicles to stop, etc.) but we eventually found each other for delivery and they helped bring the bubble teas into the building within the delivery time discussed.As for the bubble teas during the event, we decided on 50 white peach rose with strawberry popping boba and 50 passion fruit with mango popping boba. They were a HUGE hit and mostly gone within the hour from the start of the event which we didn’t expect. We were anticipating some leftovers by the end of the day, but in the end, there were none.Pricing was reasonable and comparable to other quotes that we received. Brian was great to work with. We would look to work with them again in the future!“
“Wow!! So we had a group of 8 and was pouring rain so looking for a takeout place. Found Tacos Polos because it was only 5 minutes away. We ordered tons of food for pickup. The price was great and the quality and amount for the price was unbelievable. We ordered a 30 tacos combo ?they were amazing. Everything was so good. We are so happy we found an amazing takeout place nearby.“
“An excellent place for a good Sunday brunch. I ordered the Oven Baked Omelette and ricotta pancakes, a delight. Everything fresh and delicious. The atmosphere is very pleasant and the waitresses are very friendly and do their job well. Thank you!!✨️✨️✨️✨️✨️“

“So I have been here twice in one week. I'm mad at myself for never finding this gem sooner. I guess the sign isn't vibrant enough, which me and Ali (one of the employees or even manager not sure) talked about. The sign is apparently orange but comes off as brown lol anyway I found the chicken and beef/lamb gyros excellent. Both seasoned well together with the fresh veggies that go in it. What really tops everything off are them fries! It's legit crack lol it reminded me of my highschool fries (Parsippany High). They made bangin' fries back then. Nice crisp to their fries. I was fortunate enough to even try their Police Milkshake and some baklava which is a sweet dessert! Both great stuff. I like how they use almond milk for their shakes as I am lactose intolerant haha I apologize for not having any photos because I'm super hungry every time and I just wanna eat. Til Next time!Edit Update:: So today I got my usual Beef&Lamb Gyro Pita and was able to take a photo this time. The fries always hit the spot for me. I also learned they have sweet potato fries. Karim, I highly recommend sweet potato fries w/cinnamon sugar coating. Thank me later!!! I also had a taste of the Honey B Avocado smoothie. Like whooooa! That's some good stuff. I would have never knew it had spinach in it, definitely a must try if you come here. I am gonna have to try every smoothie they offer. As stated before, I love how the base is almond milk. Keep it up guys! Special Shout out to my man Ali!“
“An educated guess: to date I’ve done at least 60,000 downward dog poses in the 20+ years I’ve been practicing yoga all over North Jersey. And Good Vibes is easily my all-time favorite studio to unroll my mat, get deep into the asanas (attempting to keep up with all the amazing instructors and fellow members - all half my age, by the way!) and leave an hour later, completely spent but feeling great.Clean studio, incredibly passionate and engaging instructors, solid pricing (with plenty of discounts/offers throughout the year), metered parking.Easily the most diverse and inclusive yoga studio I've been to.Definitely recommended.“
“Great place with great real fresh roasted coffee. Coconut cold brew is my favorite of the cold brews. Always hang out there on Fridays and the owner is a great guy who runs the place. The baristas are excellent and some of the home specialties offered there like the biscotti are excellent. Well worth the stop if you are in the area and say hi if you are there on a Friday morning.“
“Ladies and gentlemen this is one of the best cafes in and around clifton-paterson- garfield area where you can grab a very flavorful coffee and enjoy a little studying time. The cafe has plenty of seats for everyone and plenty of outlets. Mario and jason are both great baristas and are phenomenal with the customers. I definitely come here often and study and enjoy the environment and vibes of cafe. It can get a little hectic and loud when there are inconsiderate people around but all in all one of my fav cafes. They always have new drinks and the baristas are very creative. Well done!“
“Stopped by for a quick coffee run & got a caramel latte. It was very delicious & for the price is totally worth it. They offer variety of milk oat milk, regular milk, almond milk etc. The young lady was nice & very quick. Overall if you're in the area definitely check it out!“
“Such a cute Korean fusion brunch spot/cafe in Glen Rock! We stopped by around 9am on a Saturday and were lucky to get the last table without a wait. For drinks, we ordered their Strawberry Matcha Latte and their Sweet Corn Latte with Sweet Corn Cold Foam. Both drinks were made exactly how we liked them: not too sweet. I've been an avid corn latte fan after watching Single's Inferno 2, and it actually tastes pretty similar to the corn latte from Choi Jung Woo's cafe (iykyk). I would come back just for their drinks- and would love to try the injeolmi latte next. For food, we ordered their K-Street Toast and their K-Chicken and Waffles. Unfortunately, the waffles were pretty hard, but the chicken was tasty. The toast was simple but good! Note: - Reservations highly recommended, they tend to get pretty busy.“
“Defying Gravitea is a cute spot for breakfast, coffee/tea, or some little sweets. My mom and I stopped in early one morning and the owner Gina was super friendly and welcoming. The menu is entirely gluten/dairy free and as someone who is not gluten or dairy free, I believe the food was just as tasty, if not better! I had a pot of Rise + Glow tea and French toast. Will definitely be back!“
“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, my wife, and my friends love coming here. The coffee is great - I’m a big fan especially of the “Vanilla Snuggle”, and also of the iced coffee. The service is always friendly. It’s a popular place on the weekends, but I especially love coming in on a weekday to do work on my laptop. The atmosphere is relaxing. Local art is displayed on the walls. There are community events. There are delicious gluten-free options for food. I’m very happy to have this coffee shop in my area.“
“I've been waiting a long time for a local coffee shop in my town. Service is fast and friendly. They make iced coffee with coffee ice cubes! I thought that was one of the greatest things I had ever seen. I haven't had their breakfast yet but their Chocolate Croissant is fire!“
“I can all the way from Edison to this spot to buy the egg tart. They are soooo delicious, even after I put them in refrigerator and reheat, still crispy. The buttery and flaky crust melting in your mouth! The custard filling is creamy, a bit sweet, perfect balance with e crust.I also got the croissant, big size, butter flavor, flaky, exactly what I expected! Variety of pastry, soup, hot sub provided in this clean and spacious store. Great place to grab a quick lunch!“
“I come here most of the time I'm in the area when working and it's always great. Their blueberry scones are delicious and have wonderful texture, and the Taylor ham egg and cheese bagels are a great vegan alternative to the real thing.“
“This place was very awesome, Gus was an extremely nice and welcoming guy. He served us breakfast empanadas and insanely delicious coffee. The everything seasoning breakfast empanadas were THE best morning empanadas I’ve had in the area; and I would order that cold brew any day of my life. 10/10 experience will go there again ?“
“The food was honestly so delicious. And I really loved how they decorated the place. It's very relaxing just being there. I would suggest having a cup of your favorite beverage after lunch and just recharge yourself for a while.The staff and owner are so friendly and helpful too, You'll definitely have a wonderful time.“
“Very nice. People were very friendly and everything was yummy. We sat outside and enjoyed the drinks. My friend had an Electric Garden smoothie and I had a lavender latte. We also had some pastries. All were lovely! We did not order much but my friend goes there often and loves everything. They easily accommodated another customer who asked for several personalizations in her already complex drink. I thought that was awesome.I will be back!“
“I’ve been going to this place since it open- it’s wonderful place - best flat white in our area hands down - probably the whole menu is excellent- it’s just I’ve been drinking same drink for years. Same exact drink lol. Place has vibe and Dave is absolutely amazing at bringing whole community together. There is always something going on there - check their instagram- Dave keep you posted on everything ?? my favorite option is that u can order through and app and ur drink is ready when u come - cuz I’m always on a run ☺️“
“Visiting a friend in S Orange and was looking for brunch. I suggested we try Jackie and Sons, as he'd not been there. We're glad we went. It was crowded/busy on a Saturday at 1130am, but very efficiently run and things moved quickly. The Jackie's scramble and shakshuka were excellent, as were the juices and pastries.Fresh and flavorful. Great staff. Beautiful space.“
“Small menu done well! The brunch is to die for but fair warning, the location is small so plan ahead if you are trying to dine-in. We shared a waffle that will haunt my dreams until I get another and my lentil burger with mint chutney was fantastic. The Barista game there was also on point. Dirty chai or the Honey cardamom latte are strong picks.“
“BEST BAGEL IN NJ! They have fresh hot bagels coming out on rotation, I never ask for my bagels from here to be toasted because they’re always warm and fluffy on the inside and have a nice crisp on the outside. Every bagel here is literally made to perfection & will not disappoint! Their breakfast sandwiches are never a miss too! I love getting a classic BEC or Sauage egg & cheese on a roll with SPK, 10/10!!!“
“This is quite, cozy and very “clean” cafe. People here are very sweet and friendly. We had a piece of carrot Cake with nuts and the flavor was really great.you can definitely stop by to spend quality time with friends and family! Happy to be here.Parking: Street parking availablePrice: Affordable“
“Zen Haus Cafe is a haven for coffee aficionados who appreciate a tranquil setting. With exceptional coffee, inviting ambiance, and attentive service, it stands out as a noteworthy destination for those looking to savor a moment of peace in the midst of urban life.“
“Great coffee and tea! Perfect staff: they all care deeply about their craft, and they want you to enjoy it as much as they do.And apparently it’s a climbing gym too! It’s a bizarre place, and I love it.There are books and games around, and some cool seating.“
“Was at an event at the convention center across the street and desperately needed coffee. Enter PJs coffee. I ordered a cookie dough oatmilk latte and it was everything I needed. Sweet but not sickeningly sweet (I don't like syrup to overtake the taste of the beans). The beans I could tell were good quality and not burnt ----looking at you Dunkin ---which helped make a smooth drink. As for the customer service. The server was nice. Nothing over the top. Just pleasant. Pricing was on par with any other coffee shop.“
“Jola Coffee is hands down, the best coffee shop in the area! The cozy atmosphere and friendly staff make it a perfect place to relax and enjoy a cup of coffee. The menu offers a wide variety of specialty drinks, from classic lattes to unique flavor combinations. Whether you're a coffee connoisseur or just looking for a quick pick-me-up, Jola Coffee has something for everyone. Don't forget to try their homemade pastries and they are absolutely delicious!“
