50 Best Cafes near Norwood

“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!“

“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!“

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

“The interior is very cute, but the space is too small for people to sit and eat coffee or bread.Personally, I recommend iced tiramisu latte because it is so delicious.Parking: There's a lot to say about this...After confirming that I could park for free inside the building, I went in and parked... but I couldn't enter the building itself, so I had to call someone when I went in, and when I went back to pick up my car, I had to call someone, but there was no response and there was no place to ask, so I had to drive directly into the basement. I walked down the street.“

“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!!!“

“I would rather swallow poison than anyone else's cappuccino. Best coffee, vibe of any cafe in Westchester. Staff is super cool and I love the music they play. I am not cool but I feel cool when I'm in there.“

“Despite its higher prices, I find myself coming back to this cafe. Why? TL;DR The quality, service, and ambiance are what sells me. The menu has a huge variety of drinks (coffee, hot chocolate, teas, refreshers, frappes, smoothies, cold brews, etc.). Drinks are strong and full of flavor. Nothing is watered down or overly sweet or bitter. -cold brew with sweet cream (chocolate and vanilla) - They make their sweet cream fresh on the spot and it tastes delicious! One of the best I've had. The only thing is that some baristas put way too much ice. 4/5 -hot honey rose latte - Wow, this drink surprised me! I tried it on a whim and enjoyed it. It has a light floral taste that pairs well espresso. 4/5 -oreo frappe - YUM! 5/5 -iced mocha - I would like it to be sweeter (I have a big sweet tooth). The espresso overpowered the chocolate. 3.5/5 -hot dulce de leche latte - A little disappointed with this ONLY because I didn't taste much of the dulce de leche :( It just tasted like a regular latte. 3/5 Their espresso is STRONG so if you want more sweetness ask for more pumps of flavor or milk. Onto the food...I've tried a couple of items and I would say that the prices are high for the portion size. I love that they make their food fresh but I'm not sure if I can justify the prices. Some items are worth it and some aren't. -fig open toast $10 - Mhmm this was yummy. The toast was crispy. The ricotta cheese was fluffy and paired well with the figs. The balsamic vinegar dressing drizzled on top was *chef's kiss* 5/5 -buffalo smash sandwich $10.50 - I have ordered this twice. The first time tasted better than the second time. 3.5/5 -the BP wake up breakfast sandwich w/ bacon, egg, cheese, hash brown $8.25 - The sandwich was good but it was nothing special. It's pretty small and I finished it quickly... This was around $8 and I don't think it's worth that price. 3/5 -stuffleufugus (stuffed waffle with eggs, sausage, cheese, and bacon) $10.25 - The waffle was fluffy and crispy but everything else just didn't hit for me... It was mostly egg and sausage inside. Not much bacon (which is my favorite) and cheese. I would try a more sweeter/dessert waffle next time. 3/5 -chavocado sandwich - Mehhhh. Average and not very flavorful. There was barely any chicken, bacon, or avocado... 2/5 BUT THE SERVICE? Amazing service here! The owner is very sweet and friendly. She seems to have a lot of regulars and is very personable. Staff is willing to accommodate and fix orders if it's not to your liking. They bring your order to your table if you dine in. If you order during peak rush hours (especially food), you might have to wait a bit longer (10-15 minutes) since everything is freshly made. If you want to avoid any wait times I recommend ordering online for pickup. Now for the ambiance... The cafe is brightly lit and spacious, but there isn't too much seating available. They have free wifi so you can study or work here, but it can get VERY loud and crowded. They have an open kitchen so you can hear the machines when they're making drinks. There is a "kiddie section" for younger children to play with toys. They play loud music BUT it is GREAT music. One morning they were playing some of my favorite salsa songs and another day they had on throwbacks from the early 2000s. It put me in such a good mood and made me wanna dance lol. I see this as more of a place to socialize with family and friends. BRING HEADPHONES/EARPHONES if you want to study or read. Overall this is definitely a place to check out! The biggest con is that the prices are on the higher end. Most of their drinks start at a minimum of $5 for the smallest size (12 oz) and can go up to almost $7 for the largest size (20 oz) before tax and tip. Their food ranges from $6-$13 and while I don't think the price justifies the portion sizes, you can be the judge! Sign up for their rewards program for discounts and freebies!“

“The staff was super friendly and knowledgeable. My juice was amazing and I topped it off with a veggie patty. I will definitely be back!“

“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.“

“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.“

“This place is adorable! Love the atmosphere and service.I recommend the mocha or a latte with cinnamon. Because I am used to a stronger espresso I would recommend getting an extra 1-2 shots. Their shots are doubles but still wasn’t strong enough for me.But this would be my daily coffee place if I lived nearby.“

“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!“

“Friendly people, impeccable sandwich with razor thin bead and croquetas that were not too oily upon being fried. The sandwich was lean, not too salty and well balanced. Real work of art. Coffee was also caringly prepared to our specifications.Gracias de corazon“

“Wanted to regroup and have coffee after a visit to The Cloisters, and Cafe Bloom was the perfect spot. The cafe is small and cozy, the staff was very friendly, and the coffee (a flat white) was delicious. Sadly we already had dinner plans so didn't get food. So glad we stopped in, it's really nice to find a place that is exactly what you need at that moment.“

“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!“

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

“My friends and I were in the area and we were craving coffee in the morning. We decided to stop by here for coffee - they have their regular menu but also a spring menu (which included ube matcha, ube espresso latte, strawberry matcha latte and more). They also have baked goods which all looked so good. The place itself is also super aesthetic with plenty of seating inside and some seats outside. My staff was super friendly in the front and at times there was a line but it moved very quickly. We all decided to get a chocolate croissant with was yummy. I decided to get the ube espresso lattee, which was pretty good - the ube syrup was on the sweeter side so the drink was sweeter than I would have liked it but it was good overall. The flavor was good as well. We were all in agreement that the drinks were def on the sweeter side so if this is something that you don't like then maybe ask for less sugar. Overall - cute cafe, highly recommend checking this place out!!“

“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“

“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.“

“Great new place that opened recently. Trendy atmosphere, very clean, and the owner is very kind. We ordered a grapefruit ade and a custard + red bean taiyaki. The taiyaki was heavenly, definitely recommend. Homemade batter, not too sweet, delicious filling. Mochi like texture. Definitely coming back!“

“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!“

“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“

“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.“

“BEST coffee in Irvington!!! I'm there often for large orders to bring to work and Mike and Brittany are so patient, kind, and deeply care for their community. We always have such great conversation while they make my oat latte. So much love is put into what they do-- amazing coffee, incredible pastries, and do NOT sleep on that egg sandwich.“

“Friendly staff and great service. Delicious apple cranberry scone. Perfectly crisp on outside with soft inside. Not too crumbly. Great paired with matcha latte or coffee while waiting on the train. In addition to a wide variety of bakery, they also had salads, and a few sandwiches.“

“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.“

“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.“

“great place to have a breakfast and dinner“

“I ? Buunni. Proprietors, Sarina and Elias, live in and care about our community. They are so much more than local successful business owners. They serve wonderful Ethiopian coffee and now fresh delicious Ethiopian food! They host neighborhood events and support local artists. Can't say enough about them and their cafe! Congratulations on earning a Nextdoor "neighborhood fave" award. ☕??“

“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 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.“

“great place ,lovely lady serving ,great capuchinos ,the best tiramisú“

“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 ?“

“The staff was very friendly, helpful and accommodating during the order process.. I changed my order 3 times and they were only too willing to comply.The items I purchased were all delicious.Shrip cocktail was presented beautifully, Fruit salad was very fresh and the cake was amazing.“

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

“Amazing omelettes and great service“

“Delicious coffee, very friendly staff, cozy atmosphere, and gluten free goodies. This was the perfect spot before jumping on our train back home to Buffalo.“

“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.“

“Chapo!!!Coffee tasted very good, the way they wrapped my sandwich told me how much they care about the customer… the omelet… OMG soooo good cooked… I was amazed with the service and the quality of their sandwich.First time I tried sandwich omelet, turkey with cheese and BLT next day… bacon… crunchy, lettuce very fresh and tomato juicy with perfectly toasted white sandwich bread… great combination.Thank you… it was a nice pleasure“

“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!“

“Black Cat Cafe was awesome! Came in just as they were opening on a Sunday morning with my 2 year old. Service was great, and the person working was very accommodating of the young kid. Highly recommend getting breakfast here and then checking out the framers market just up the hill. Parent pro-tip, the Ivington location for the farmers market is right next to a playground.Kid-friendliness: I'm definitely calling this one kid friendly. They even had some toys on hand. Also, other patrons were not put off by the presence of a young kid.“

“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!“

“As a newbie in town, I have been looking for a healthy cozy place to get some work done. Sweet and savory has the perfect menu. Everything is made fresh and was delicious. As I sat in a booth I could hear the family greeting everyone by name when they came in. It was so nice to find a homey feel and great eats.“

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

“Simple place to get some food and warm drinks in Winter, cool drinks in the summer. They've got maps and books for sale. Only problem? Not enough indoor space for the tables. Outdoors is okay in the summer when it's crowded. But it's always crowded here, especially in the summer. They close the parking lot when it gets full. Be prepared to park somewhere else like the boy scout camp on the other side.“

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