Overpriced and underwhelming grilled cheese

Wow! What a ripoff this place is. I'm surprised it's as popular as it seems to be. Ordered the $12.45 grilled cheese (see pic). Total basic b**ch of a sandwich and comes with absolutely nothing on the side. I'd say it's maybe worth $6.75. Throw in NJ tax and a tip and this sad sammy is just shy of $16. How's it taste? Nothing special. Super basic.

The service is decent. They ran out of grilled chicken but gave me the option to substitute it for oven roasted turkey breast. Asides from that the sandwich was good along with the cappuccino which I was hoping for a glass cup instead of paper. Somewhat pricy for the sandwich.

Came in for a quick, healthy and simple lunch and Batavia checked off all boxes. Food is ordered at the counter and they have a wide variety of sandwiches, soups and salads. This is basically like a non-chain gourmet version of Panera Bread. There is plenty of outdoor patio seating and indoor seating which is a mix of tables and cozy couches. On to the eats- I ordered a chicken salad wrap with tomato and cucumber. The wrap was stuffed with alot of chicken salad and the chicken was really fresh and all white meat. My Dad ordered some sort of chicken avocado club sandwich and enjoyed it. This is a nice option if you don't feel like sitting down for lunch but also want something that is healthy and freshly prepared. Although I was initially eyeing The Committed Pig up the street, I'm glad that I made the choice to take the healthier route at Batavia. I'm not in Summit super often but would certainly consider for next time!

Egg Sandwich- Breakfast
Vikram G.

Based on weekday breakfast time .. conviniently located near Summit downtown and station area. Amole paid street parking. Seemed like a comfy spot to work with free wi-fi, coffee and cafe like menu. Reason for 3 stars was food, had much higher expectations before entering in terms of presentation and service. Coffee latte and chai tea were given in to-go cups in-spite of being a sit-down order. Egg sandwich was nothing special - had to add salt and pepper with each bit to make up for taste. Although just before existing we saw soups being set up and vegi coconut soup caught our attention. Will try it put some time.

What a cool place to hang out and just chat, chat, chat. I tend to have a 3-hour breakfast with a certain co worker, let's call her Grace, and she usually buys it for me. Today she recommended the Breakfast sandwich and I ordered Huevos Mexicanos, but I think, what I got was Batavia grilled cheese- a panini in white french bread with eggs and bacon which I consumed in a heartbeat. It was a delicious mistake. Since her wrap hadn't come yet, we just chatted, chatted, and chatted. Ahh, they didn't get her order. She placed it again and ordered one more breakfast for me, the right one. That's generous! She loved her breakfast wrap and I enjoyed my second breakfast.

Soup bar!!

I L O V E D I T! Since the very first moment when I walked in I felt in love with this place. First thing I noticed was all the paintings they have all over the restaurant, and then I saw their soup bar , The smell.... SO GOOD. You can bring your family to this place, They have kid's meals, they have soups, salads, pancakes... everything! The customer service was outstanding, the guy responded to all of my questions about their salad's menu. Finally I decided to get a custom salad. It was very fresh and The best salad I have ever had! Something that made this salad different from the other ones was the Turkey they gave me. They Roast the Turkey e v e r y morning! I have to be back for the Soup Bar.

My breakfast sandwich- Taylor has, egg and cheese and I added some bacon too..  YOLO!!

What a nice place to start a morning with a cup of coffee, a breakfast sandwich and two friends to chat with!! Because I didn't have early morning meetings at work in the City,I decided to meet up with two girlfriends for a quick breakfast and Batavia was perfect. A quick walk from the train station and the perfect selection of breakfast items. I chose a breakfast sandwich - Taylor Ham, egg and cheese on their homemade focaccia and it was delicious! The bread was perfectly toasted with a slight crunch yet tender inside. My friends ordered oatmeal with fruit and yogurt with fruit - both much healthier choices than mine and they were both pleased with their selection. Besides the food, the restaurant was more like sitting in your friend's home. We could've stayed all day chatting and eating.. I will definitely be back to try another item from their menu..

Huevos Mexicans w coffee & oj.

One of my favorite lunch spots in Summit! The food is always good and definitely a healthier option if you're health conscious! Veggies are fresh, coffee is delicious and desserts are gluten free!

This is awesome for the ambience but not if you are larger person (I am not but my companion was.) also they only take cash. Now -- that said, step back into an earlier time when you come in here. It's one of the oldest diners in the country -- maybe the oldest? -- and you'll truly feel like you're in a movie. I recommend a weekday morning since it's a touristy thing! I had eggs over easy and sausage. Delicious and timeless. Fun!

The diner is inside a classic boxcar and not much has changed since opening - which is the way it should stay. The service was great and everyone was friendly and accommodating. We arrived around 12 PM on a Sunday and waited about 10 minutes for a table. They don't have high pairs but they have booster seats that worked just as well. We ordered Taylor, ham, egg, and cheese on a roll, two pancakes with scrambled eggs, and the front toast plate that came with eggs and sausage. Taylor ham, egg and cheese on a roll was standard and good. The French toast was tasty. The pancakes were very, very good. Definitely order these! The diner is no-frills. It's classic food served the original way. It really feels like an authentic New Jersey establishment and I love that it hasn't changed.

Service was slow on that regard with water and checking. Seafood is good, though- the salmon crudo was ok (blood orange highlight), the oysters broiled with miso-garlic - virtually no miso flavor. The seared octopus, though, a great dish with highlights on the beans offsetting the rich flavor of the octopus and sausage crumbs. Dinner was tilefish, excellent balance (although some bites were very salty). Apple crostada at dessert was a good version of a warm apple turnover with an open center served with ice cream which I enjoyed. Fun gold playing cards where they have your food for pickup after the meal - staffer there had a good attitude! Beat the server who was more lackluster.

When we arrived after a 3 hour drive from beautiful Cape May New Jersey which has fabulous restaurants, we were told that "NO RESERVATION EXISTED." I even offered to spell the last name. We were told that we could possibly be seated in 1 1/2 hrs later after I insisted. EXTREMELY BAD CUSTOMER SERVICE. The restaurant does not value its customers. A VERY BAD CHOICE TO DINE.

This has been my go-to coffee shop every weekend for the last couple of years. To put it simply,…read moretheir coffee is fantastic. Specifically, their cold brew which is extremely smooth and strong, and in my opinion you don't even need to put anything in it unless you really want something sweet, although why would you get a cold brew if that's the case lol. Also packs quite a bit of caffeine so you'll be good for the rest of the day. Their pastries are pretty solid as well, although a bit on the pricier side. The cafe itself is on the smaller side but still an ample amount of seating. It's excellent for meeting with a friend, however the tables are rather small so it is less study friendly unless you manage to snag one of the bigger tables by the entrance. Which is admittedly pretty tough to do unless you get here right when it opens or catch a lucky break when someone leaves - I speak from experience. That said, it's overall a pretty solid spot to get work done. Parking in downtown Summit is a pain in general, I usually just park in the lot and walk over. Limit is at 5 hours and you will have to walk back if you want to extend it. There might be parking available by the cafe, but I'm personally less confident on how long you can to stay before getting ticketed/booted, so do so at your own risk.

Tried this coffee spot twice. The first time, the staff wasn't very warm or helpful. When I asked…read morefor recommendations, I was just told to check the menu. I ordered the coconut coffee which was okay, just a bit too sweet for my taste. The second time around, I looked over the menu ahead of time and tried a matcha. It was decent, but again a little sweeter than I personally prefer.
