The main highlight of this place is the little marketplace inside the shop. There's all different types of fair trade homemade organic items in here that are just so great to be able to have all in one place. It definitely is your charcuterie board go to center. They were so nice letting us try all different flavor of their cheeses before we purchase the one that we liked. I'm definitely going back to get there cheese again. Their staff were soak accommodating. It's so nice and welcoming. Highly recommend checking this place out with some friends.

This spot is byob so we were able to bring our new favorite Pinot noir, which paired amazingly with the drunken goat Reserva cheese, the vegan cashew sharp pimento cheese, and the sheep's milk secret de compostelle cheese. Jacob at the cheese counter was more than helpful, answering all of our many questions and going out of his way to help us make our own spread. He let us sample everything we asked about and offered to cut up an apple and baguette for us to enjoy with our cheese selections. He really made the experience special for us with his effort and kindness! We grabbed a bag of candy grapes and crackers they had for sale and got to munching on the cheese. I have to say, it was one of the best cheese experiences we've ever had. There was a vinyl DJ setting the vibes and the dining area felt elegant and clean. If you are a looking for a fun shopping experience or to try some high quality cheeses, The Wheelhouse is the place to be!

I had been wanting to try Liv Breads for so long, especially after all of the amazing reviews I had…read moreread and the positive feedback I had heard from family. I finally made it there the other day and was shocked at how substantial the place was. It was no small bakery, but was a full cafe and gourmet shop as well. Though I did not try their savory sandwiches, breads, salads, or spreads at that time, I did purchase some of their sweets. First, the Chocolate Rugelach were some of the best I have had. The delicate, flaky cookies were like little croissants and were ribboned with a rich chocolate spread. Their version also had hints of vanilla, which I really enjoyed. I also got one of their large Chocolate Chip Cookies, which was thin, but packed with gooey bittersweet and semi-sweet chocolate. It also had a light sprinkling of Maldon sea salt on the top. It was super decadent! Liv Breads exceeded my expectations, and I look forward to revisiting to try many more of their items.

I have never written a negative review before, which probably says something about how upsetting…read morethis experience was for me. My family and I have been regular customers at Liv Breads in Millburn for the past five or six years. I come here almost every day, often morning and evening, for coffee and breakfast, and my husband gets his coffee here literally every single day. We have always enjoyed the food and coffee and have spent a considerable amount of money supporting this bakery over the years. Even a regular black coffee here costs around $5 plus and when you are buying coffee and breakfast this frequently for years, you are clearly a loyal, paying customer. But what happened today genuinely hurt me. After finishing my coffee, I asked for the usual refill. The person serving me insisted that I bring back my used coffee cup before she would give me the refill. She then specifically told me that "a lot of people like you" have been asking for refills, and therefore she needed to see my cup before giving me one. If there is a new policy requiring customers to show their original cup, I have absolutely no problem with the policy. What upset me was the way it was communicated, particularly the phrase "people like you." As a brown-skinned Indian woman, I could not help but wonder what exactly "people like you" meant and whether I would have been spoken to the same way if I looked different. I am not claiming to know what was in anyone's mind, but I can say how the interaction made me feel: singled out, embarrassed and unwelcome. I have lived in the U.S. for years and cannot remember another interaction that made me feel this way. What makes it especially disappointing is that this wasn't an interaction between a business and someone who walked in for the first time. They know us. We have been coming here almost daily for years. Customer loyalty should mean something--not free coffee and not an exemption from reasonable policies, but simply being treated with familiarity, dignity and respect. The food and coffee have always been good, and that is exactly why we kept coming back for so many years. Unfortunately, after today's interaction, I walked away feeling deeply uncomfortable and no longer welcome. After five or six years of supporting this bakery, it genuinely makes me sad to say that I don't plan to return.

Everything was fine but I had a weird encounter I want to share in case others have also encountered this. Upon entry, I told the lady at the receptionist desk that I was dining solo indoors. She told me they were short on staff and had to order and pay with her before seating. First time dining here and didn't know how busy it was since the dining area was on the other side of the wall. Fine... no problem. Upon sitting, I noticed there were only two other tables and most of the tables were empty. There appeared to be two male servers tending to the dining area.. Food and coffee came out in good time and the server who delivered it was friendly. After I sat and paid, I saw three other tables who came and were sat - all receiving normal table service. (I.e waiter taking orders, pay at the end.) I don't want to assume anything but would suggest the restaurant look at their practices and either exercise them across all patrons to avoid causing anyone to feel singled out... Food and coffee were good.

You know those days when you're on your lunch break and realize you still have to go food shopping?…read moreToday was that day. Hungry and very short on time, I ordered the turkey and brie sandwich from the Chatham Sandwich Shop. My order was ready for pickup in less than ten minutes. The sandwich was melt-in-your-mouth amazing--the kind of lunch that makes you stop after the first bite and think, "Oh, that's good." There's something comforting about places that do simple things exceptionally well. The Chatham Sandwich Shop is one of those classic sandwich shops that doesn't need to try too hard. Good food, quick service, and exactly what I needed on a busy workday. Five stars. I'll be back--probably the next time I ignore my grocery list.

We came a little later in the afternoon, probably closer to 2 PM, but there were still quite a few people having lunch, which is always a good sign. My friend ordered the tuna sandwich on sourdough, and I got the chicken salad on sourdough. Everything tasted fresh and yummy, and the sourdough was really good! We also got the macaroni salad to share, and honestly, it might have been my favorite part! It was perfect - not drowning in sauce like how other places make it, and I loved the fresh veggies mixed in. I would genuinely come back just for the macaroni salad, but I'd definitely be down to try some of their other sandwiches too! Not sure if we were the weird ones for getting macaroni salad as our side because I noticed everyone else seemed to be having a bag of chips with their sandwich..... Either way, no regrets! Definitely a cute little sandwich spot I'd come back to!

I go here often enough and the customer service is amazing. They also have rewards and an app now…read moreso I recommend getting your points. Nice black-owned spot with variety of vegan options and it is clean. There's space to dine-in and they are open on Sundays. The energy is also open enough where strangers will have a convo while waiting. Coming from Brooklyn, I'm happy to have this spot so close to where I am now. Savory: My go-to is the chickpea tuna sandwich. I've tried it on a roll, long sub, and gluten-free... highly recommend the long sub. It's way too messy on the roll for me. Typically get it with the works. The potato salad is also very good most of the time (sometimes the potatoes are a little undercooked). I've also had the macaroni salad and the fried mushroom sandwich which are also good. I definitely enjoyed the thanksgiving special with stuffing (highly recommend that if they bring it back this year). Tip: if ordering a hero and you don't see yourself eating the entire thing in one sitting, I recommend requesting for the sandwich to not be cut so you can cut it evenly on your own For baked goods: the peach cobbler is good and it comes in a cute cup with a little spoon. I've also had the lemon cake & rum cake. Would order all 3 again. Would love to see donuts or cinnamon rolls (hopefully without cashews or walnuts due to my allergy). DRINKS: I haven't had a drink there that I would get again. The teas are overwhelmingly sweet; hibiscus punch was a lot like kool-aid to me. I also don't recommend the matcha if you are a matcha snob. Harper's Cafe is a great black-owned spot for a consistently good latte and they use quality matcha if you want quality nearby. Great spot with lots of options, especially if you're looking for a black-owned spot to support.

How Delish in West Orange is one of my favorite fully vegan spots, hands down. Their deli…read moresandwiches are my go-to. Fresh, flavorful, and so satisfying!! It's the perfect lunch, and honestly the perfect beach day meal too. There's just something about a giant, delicious vegan sub that hits every time. A while back they hosted a soul food night with oyster mushrooms, mac and cheese, greens, the whole lineup, and it was amazing. But those deli subs are still the thing I keep coming back for. They're huge, filling, and just taste like someone really cared while putting them together. There's seating inside and a wall where you can write your name, which I think is such a cute touch. Makes the place feel personal and loved. I also tried their carrot cake at VegFest recently and it was delicious and moist. They had a pretty steady line of people the entire time, so clearly the vegan crowd knows what's up. The subs run around $20 and everything is made fresh to order, so expect to wait a bit. It's worth it. I'm definitely looking forward to going back soon!!

Once you bite into it, the chicken isn't mushy at all -- you can actually see the fibers, and it's very juicy and tender. The seasoning is well done and not overly salty. I went with their house sauce, which has a slightly pickled chili vibe -- mildly sour, a bit spicy, and with a unique aroma that's hard to describe but really enjoyable. The fried chicken burger was also impressive -- definitely shows some skill in execution. One unexpected highlight was the cornbread. I usually don't enjoy cinnamon-flavored desserts, but this one grew on me quickly. The texture was excellent, and it ended up being a pleasant surprise. Service was great -- the staff were friendly and welcoming, which made the whole experience feel relaxed and comfortable. Overall, a small spot but a really enjoyable visit. Would come back.
