Boathouse Cafe - Strawberry Ice cream, warm brownie at the bottom and light drizzle chocolate sauce. - Cafes Near Me - Passaic, New Jersey

I went for a solo lunch date with a book on a warm summer day. This local café is cute and full of cozy vibes--I'm already looking forward to returning once the weather cools. While the interior nails the boathouse look, I chose to sit on the garden patio and enjoy my meal with a pondside view. I ordered the chicken caprese panini, which comes with chips and pickles. It was delicious--the pesto and mozzarella tasted especially fresh. I also had an iced caramel coffee, made with La Colombe coffee (always a plus!). The staff was friendly and even brought my food out once I was settled, which made the experience even better. read more

Really great local cafe, I am a coffee person, they serve their coffees hot and iced. Food offerings are standard fare, some pressed sandwiches and pastries. Staff is friendly and attentive, haven't had a bad experience. Decor inside is cute, has a rustic feel to it, great view of the neighboring pond! Love supporting a local business! read more

Coffee by Colombe brand - love Chicken pesto sandwich is real good and comes with chips and a pickle spear. Best combo. Really looking forward to this place spring since it's by the park/water. Service was friendly. Coffee was done really quickly but sandwiches took a minute. Decent sized place tho and they were pretty busy for lunch time. read more

Just a very pleasant place to spend some time. The serving staff are very friendly and efficient. Fun place!

Great coffee and excellent menu. The service is always on point. Love relaxing here with my pup on a nice spring or summer day.

Randomly found this place when I searched for coffee while at a nearby park (Kingsland Park). This cafe was literally in the middle of a park. What an awesome location! After getting your goodies, you can sit inside or outside by the water or even walk around the park. **In a rush? Skip to the end for my tips.** They have drinks, various coffee drinks, ice cream, savory food, and baked goods. There's something for everyone. I got an iced latte with a sugar free caramel flavor shot and it was refreshing and delicious. Then, I enjoyed the nice weather and sunshine in the outdoor seating area with a book with my dog. The previous Yelp review I read stated that they gave out dog biscuits, but none was offered. :( Now, I have a place to come to when the weather is nice - for a sweet treat and beautiful views. If you are contemplating about stopping by, I recommend that you do! Tips: -There's plenty of parking! -If it's your first time coming here, it is a bit confusing because you are driving into a park, but the road will eventually bring you to the cafe. -There are 2 entrances. When I was there, they had both doors open because it was so nice. There's a back and front entrance. Back entrance leads to the outside seating area. -When it's nice, sit outside. Such a beautiful view! -I was able to bring my dog in with me when I went in to order. -If your order takes a bit to prepare, they will bring it out to you. read more

Great outdoor area to relax with a tasty hot chai latte and/or kosher hot dog. Surrouded by a park and a tiny lake. Bring your dog. Service was good. Cheery employees. I didn't try it but their coffee cake looked mighty fine. I would come back! read more

A hearty welcome to the newly re-opened Boathouse Cafe - now in previews w new management! The place was hopping, always a glamorous venue. I liked the wine list by the glasses, prices for everything were very reasonable! As we were dieting, I can't comment enough on the food, but big portions, well -cooked, coming out on time - a lot to ask for pre-opening! Best of luck to you and the New Yorkers who love that spot! read more

A++ little cafe! Amazing location on the lake in this little park, tons of seating including a banquette with outlets. There is also some parking outside and outdoor seating on a porch along the water side. I had an iced latte that hit the spot on this über hot day. Prices aren't horrible either and they have a nice food menu, too. Staff are so kind and welcoming! Great spot to sit and work for a bit. I hung out here for a few hours on a Friday and it was lovely! read more

The best lattes and pastries!! I always get an oatmilk latte with Rose. The prices are reasonable and the customer service is also great. They bring your order to you. Definitely my favorite go-to spot for coffee in Passaic! read more

So soo beautiful area!! Had a coffee run here on a sunday and the vibe was wonderful, park, lake, crowd, ambiance inside and outside the cafe, everything was nice except the coffee or food lol. It wasnt bad but it wasnt good either. We had cappuccino and chicken ceaser panini and both were average I would say. Oh ya the cookie was good, so i guess if you are good with the average coffee, you can pick your coffee and cookie and roam around the park for an hour.. actually i would rather go to this park area with my own food and have a picnic!! read more

Only got iced lattes here and they're pretty good. Just note that it's inside a park. Also has a nice water view too.

A nicely decorated cafe with a welcoming atmosphere and staff! The location of the cafe is also very scenic, and the sandwiches there were amazing as well. It does close a little early, but that's just something to be mindful of. I'll definitely be coming back again. read more

This place is located in the middle of the gorgeous park and attracts a lot of customers, however the owner has no qualms about kicking you out if he sees you bringing your own water with you. I ve bought in that place thousands of times, and he knows im his customer but instead of greeting me tonight, he ran to me to remind that I cant bring my water with me. Funny I wanted to get a "kind" bar there but they never have it in stock. So basically I have to force myself to buy junk I cant eat (the selection is very limited) so I can only use their chair. Left totally disgusted by the lack of hospitality and any common business sense. read more

The Boathouse café is located in Veterans Memorial Park in Passaic, New Jersey. Their menu offers a variety of items such as Paninis, Wraps, Quesadillas, Salads, Breakfast, Coffee & Tea, Handcrafted Drinks and Desserts. I can definitely vouch for their Mango Mousse Dessert :-). You can either eat inside or outside. The café's indoor nautical theme is adorable. On the outside dining deck, you can view lovely cherry blossom trees and birds swimming in the lake. I highly recommend stopping in this adorable café by the lake! read more

Really cute spot to sit with your dog. Park is very nice and peaceful. Only thing was the service was a bit slow. It was a Sunday and they had a few customers so the hot food took awhile. We ordered quesadillas which were good. We also ordered two iced chai lattes and they brought us iced coffee and when I questioned the server she said they were out of chai and the counter help should ache told us that. We weren't offered something else either. Kind of strange but the staff was nice and I felt bad. They were doing the best they could. Perhaps the manager should help out when it gets busy. read more

It's a peaceful spot that's in the middle of the park, very relaxing and spacious. There's plenty of seating outside with giant umbrellas to each table. You can seat right in front of the lake, people are fishing next you. I ordered an Iced Chai tea latte, it was delicious. Food was okay, I feel like it's overpriced and I wouldn't order food from here again. One of the staff walked out while it was busy, the poor girl left behind kind of panicked that she was by herself. My food took more than 20 minutes, but it was understandable because she was taking over the register and making food at the same time. She was very nice and tried her best. It wasn't that stressful since I could enjoy the weather and the scenery, but it's kind of unacceptable to wait this long for two sandwiches at a cafe. The server/barista/cashier girl had to work by herself for like an hour and I felt bad for ordering anything at that point. Great spot for chilling with a cup of coffee, I would def come back if I visit the park again. read more

The Boathouse Cafe is my favorite cafe around! Staff is super friendly and helpful. The indoor seating area is large, airy, and has lots of outdoor light due to the large windows. There is outdoor seating beside the lake when the weather is nice. Free Wifi. Staff brings you your drinks when they are ready, so you can situate yourself comfortably after ordering. I come here to work, and often bring my dog. She loves the chill vibes! (As do I.) Highly recommend! read more

This is a good choice for lunch on a beautiful day. Beautiful view and the food is good. I had the chipotle chicken quesadilla which was pretty good..weird thing is they don't give you a fork and knife with it just some little wood stick to put your sour cream or salsa on with...Mom had a panini which was on the dry side she said. read more

Such a cute cafe in the middle of Third Ward Park! I've been coming here since it opened a few years back each time I'm at the park. Many coffee/tea options, ice cream, as well as sandwiches and paninis. All of the food/drinks are reasonably priced. Plenty of indoor and outdoor seating, right by the water. Such a peaceful vibe during the day and has a romantic feel at night. 12/10, I absolutely love this place ! read more

Excellent service. Food was brought out to us as it was made, so it was hot. Ham/cheese pannini was a great choice, but I would have preferred a side other than potato chips. The BBQ chicken sliders were delicious. The cheese burger sliders were a bit dry. The turkey pesto pannini was amazing! Parking is limited credit card ok bathroom kinda dirty Outdoor seating could use some updating Will return read more

I made my first trip to the new cafe tonight. The staff was very friendly and welcoming. The cafe offers a selection of coffee drinks, pastries, sandwiches, and ice cream. On as lovely a night is it was, I wanted ice cream. They had about 8 or 10 flavors of hard scoop. I got two scoops of sweet and salty caramel. The scoops were large and the ice cream was flavorful. I also got a medium (20 oz I'm guessing) iced coffee. The prices are very reasonable. All told the ice cream and iced coffee was under $5. The coffee itself was $1.75. Much cheaper than small iced coffees at any chain. The setting can't be beat. Sitting by the brook on a nice summer night enjoying coffee and ice cream was great. Even if there isn't a seat on the patio, there is plenty of seating in the park. It was great to see that structure turned into a business that enhances the park and the neighborhood. I look forward to going back and I encourage people to support the business. read more

Boathouse Cafe - Iced coffee and ice cream on a lovely summer evening. - Cafes Near Me - Passaic, New Jersey

The Boathouse Cafe is my all time favorite cafe in New Jersey. Last November, my mom and sister threw me a beautiful bridal shower there and it was beyond amazing! The cozy ambiance of the cafe with that great view of the pond and the park made the evening absolutely beautiful and a memorable one. The staff was very helpful and cooperative, they helped out with everything from the setup, to decorating the cafe to serving the food. They allowed my sister to decorate the place and weren't too fussy about anything.They even let them borrow their manzanita trees and step and repeat banner for the event!! I am so glad we had my shower over there it was exactly as I imagined. And, I am so thankful to the staff of the Boathouse cafe for making my bridal shower such a memorable one. I would definitely recommend the Boathouse Cafe to others to host their events. P.S.Their lattes and paninis are Ah-mazing read more
