I love this place! It's family run and has a genuinely Italian, welcoming feeling…read more I've been in the area visiting my aunt in a nursing home in Hackensack. I stop by Coffee Break a few times a week for a breakfast sandwich and a latte. So far, I only know Isabella (Bella) by name but she's a total sweetheart. I had a delicious chicken sandwich on a ciabatta roll with broccoli rabe. Last week I had some delicious home made ravioli with a sauce that was perfectly balanced and a beautiful red-orange color. Now...if I could remember to take a picture before I gobble down the food lol Highly recommended...nice atmosphere, great people, good value and much better than going to a chain or corporate run restaurant.

This place has changed over the last few years. New owners maybe? It's located right next to the…read moreAnderson St train station. Before: Huge menu. Good breakfast, average burgers, average sandwiches. They also had a lot of fried seafood on their menu (hence their name) but it was overly greasy (they didn't let the grease drip off enough in the fry basket). I came here about once every 2 months. Now: Same woman is cooking as before, but there is a new Asian lady working there. I think she might be the previous owners daughter? The menu now is much smaller with very little seafood and limited sandwiches. I've only had an omelette, but I have to say it was delicious because they used VERY fresh ingredients (no canned mushrooms or frozen spinach!). This place now seems to specialize in breakfast items and they offer a great variety (see pics of the menu). The prices are GREAT! 4 stars for now. I may update as I try other items.

This is a very clean, cute and cozy little place right next to the train station. Both ladies who…read morework there are very friendly. Service is fast, food is great, and they have little cute drawings on the window that put a smile on your face. A great place to stop by to start my day.

He tried to sell me this new type of basterma that was laced with fat and old, the only reason I got it was it tasted a little like the one I usually get. I asked him 3 times do you have the other one I get? Kept pushing this new type. I will never go back there again! Lokum was stale, hard and old,just went downhill. I will give my money to someone who respects their customers not try to fool them!

How can you go wrong when a little old lady is cooking up the best Italian dishes in the kitchen. They have a set lunch price and even though it's steep, very steep. The meals are limitless, so come hungry and plan on staying a bit. You'll be glad you stopped in. Seating indoors but no parking (street parking).

Great friends, great food, great time is the only way to describe our annual luncheon at the iconic…read moreMartino's Grocery in Hackensack. Martino's is nothing less than a little piece of Italy right here in our own back yard. Family owned and operated for the past 55 years by the Martino family, it's hospitality and delicious array of numerous Italian-American comfort food is hard to surpass. I lost track of how many years we have been making this pilgrimage to this awesome old-school, charming, little corner store/restaurant, but it always something we all look forward to. We have to pay special thanks to Concetta, the matriarch of the Martino family, and daughters Lina and Connie for always going out of their way to host our get together. Martino's Grocery is a BYOB, all you can eat feast; and if you leave hungry, shame on you. I've said it in the past and I'll say it again, being at Martino's is reminiscent of my old time Italian family get togethers back in the 50's and 60's. How can you beat a long afternoon with longtime friends, than with stupid jokes, busting chops, and lots of lively conversation. If you want a taste of Italian-American tradition, make sure you give them a visit. You won't be disappointed. 01/17/2025

Cafe Swing This…read moreplace is truly a gem of find. Fantastic coffee on par with any cafe that I have been to in Paris or Milan. Their American breakfast menu is simple and very tasty. I had their omelette which was fluffy and yummy. Their lunch menu is a mixture of sandwiches and Korean flare: ramen and bibimbop. All of ingredients are fresh and freshly made. They really take great care about the quality of their food and service. Other Great Things About This Place: - The prices are amazingly low. Where are you going to find an omelette for $4.75 these days. - I really like their decor. Lots of organic tree motif throughout the cafe. Very Soho Italian chic. - Great hidden place to meet with close friends. - The place is not pretentious and the people there are super nice! Say hello to Miki. Cons: - Here is the only drawback, the place is very hard to find. It is located inside the Closter Golf Center and there are no signs outside. In another words, only the people who know, know. Now you know! Don't let the location deceive you. The food and coffee are seriously good! Please only tell about this place to your very best, closest friends. I really don't want to see long lines there after this post. Caio!
