    A latte I got amazing
    Joe H.

    What a great spot! We opted to Sit in their outdoor area which is heated. It was much less crowded and noisy. The staff immediately brought us 4 waters and were helpful. We explained my daughter's nut allergy and they were mindful of it, all the food we ordered was good and big portions! Def give it a try,

    Service was friendly and the food was tasty. We got there shortly after 9 on a Sunday and it wasn't too crowded. But by the time we left there was a wait. The staff were very friendly. The restaurant itself felt welcoming as well, had a diner feel to it. We ordered the greek yogurt, stack of their signature pancake, waffles with fruit and the breakfast combo with French toast. They're known for their pancakes and we can see why. It was pretty good. I wouldn't say it was the best we have ever had but still very good. The serving size of the yogurt was impressive. It came in a big bowl with granola, fruit and honey. The only thing I was disappointed with was the French toast. It was just okay. We would probably consider coming back again to try some of their numerous breakfast options.

    I love coming to this place when I am in town. The ambience is really fun with multiple chocolate coated drinks and sparklers with drinks and pancakes for birthday celebrations. We sat at the bar so to be expected to services really quick, the food came out within 10 minutes. The serving sizes can probably be shared. It can get really busy there on Sunday mornings, seemingly from the post-church rush, so plan according.

    The menu reads like a dissertation! Our party had to repeatedly ask our server (who was incredibly patient with us - thank you, Chastity!) for more time as we pored over the many, many tasty options listed on each laminated page. The restaurant might be named after its pancakes, but its offerings are closer to a diner-like variety, including some pasta, sandwich, and protein-centric options that would be fine for a lunch or dinner meal. On a Friday morning, service was quick and attentive. I couldn't believe how quickly our plates were delivered to our table, especially considering the size of the restaurant and the surprisingly large serving sizes. To wit, none of us were able to finish our whole orders. Customizations were readily made and carried out to a tee. One of us wanted to switch out one ingredient for another in an omelette, another preferred the dish without onions, and we all got what we wanted. Things were pretty mellow when I visited, but I've heard this restaurant gets absolutely packed on the weekends. The food itself was...fine. Nothing blew us away, but aside from some slightly over-salted potatoes, everything was decently cooked. That said, we watched with gaping mouths at some of the more dessert-like options that passed by us to other tables. There were cotton-candy structures that looked like unicorns, pancake towers carrying clouds of whipped cream, and milkshakes that gave me a sugar high just looking at it. So while our own meals might have been on the boring side, I'm sure those who are daring enough (and with more forgiving metabolisms than I) might rave about their meals here. There's a small parking lot right by the restaurant, and an even larger one when you pull further into the lot.

    We love this place! The food is so good. Worth the 20 min wait in the freezing cold. To be fair, we came here on a Sunday brunch time and the wait wasn't bad considering how popular this place is. The food and staff were all great. The place is so cute. All locations are adorable. We've never visited this location but it did not disappoint. We cannot wait to go back.

    We came on a nice, wonderful spring day and was seated in the outdoor area where the pulled down the windows. The weather and breeze was perfect and soothing to the soul. Had a maple latte which was good and came with lotta creme, but prob would just go for reg coffee next time. Tries the short rib skillet special and I could barely finish half. Oh had plenty of room between tables so could fit our stroller and sleeping baby. Parking can be tough on a busy day, but we were able to snag a spot after a few minutes. Felt busy but the wait was only twenty mins on a sat around 11am. Our server was a little slow or less attentive to us it felt.., forgot our utensils and had to ask for other stuff a few times, but other than that it was fine.

    I've been to Brownstone Englewood Cliffs a few times but never left a review--so here it is! Went for breakfast, and as expected, the food was great. There was a wait (as usual), and the ambience is on the louder side, but that's part of the vibe. The food came out warm, portions were HUGE, and the drinks? AMAZING (It's 5 o'clock somewhere, right?). My only complaint: y'all need a bigger space with more parking! If anyone from the restaurant is reading this, please make it happen! Would definitely recommend and will be back.

    Great brunch spot and perfect for kids who love crazy shakes! Might be a wait but trust me it'll be worth it. Pancakes are delicious but especially warm. Drink options are also delicious!

    Protein pancakes with eggs, turkey, bacon and chicken sausage. It was delicious!.

    I've been to this location several times only for breakfast and each time was very special. This diner has the most extensive breakfast menu I've ever seen for a diner. They have probably six pages of meals just for breakfast. So many different options for pancakes and french toast and etc. Several different healthy options for a guy like me, including protein pancakes with egg whites and turkey bacon. Although I've never ordered one, they have a whole page dedicated to milkshakes. They are each $20 and seem like they can feed two or three people. One day I may order a milkshake. Every time I've eaten here, the service has been impeccable. My waitresses were very nice and we're on top of refilling Waters and drinks. Also, they all had a great attitude which goes a long way. The ambiance is a typical Jersey diner just very clean and big. This place definitely gets slammed on the weekends, so if you want to eat here on a Saturday or Sunday I suggest coming very early. Each time I've eaten here it's been a weekday and there's usually no problem sitting. I ordered a healthy bowl which consisted of quinoa, eggs, vegetables and chicken sausage. It was delicious and very filling. I also ordered the protein pancakes with turkey bacon and it was very good. The pancakes did not taste bland like most protein pancakes do. I would definitely recommend this place for breakfast or lunch and I'm thinking I may come back with my kids for some milkshakes.

    The food is really good, but the service sucks big time. The place is busy with people having a good time but I would imagine that anyone who got my waitress were likely frustrated as well. The lady came over to get our drink orders and I asked for coffee, my other people in my party asked for mimosas and she told me, "are you sure you only want coffee?". I told her yes and she insisted that I should have a drink. When I told her no thank you she shrugged me off and left before taking our food orders. I got her back to take the order and the food came out quickly and well served. By then I needed more coffee and I asked her to bring me more. She walked away and never came back. I had to ask someone else who earned my generous tip. The place is very nice with a good atmosphere as long as you get a good waitress.

While waiting, I sipped on a Cinnamon Maple Latte, which was bold and strong, as well as heavy on the cinnamon, but could have used more maple and sweetness. My friend and I shared the Bread and Cornbread Basket, served warm with raspberry preserve jam and butter. The Bread was perfectly baked, fluffy, and well seasoned. Cornbread was glazed, giving it a slightly sweet taste, as well as crumbly in a good way. The butter made the breads richer, while the raspberry jam added a nice layer of flavor. For my meal, I ordered the Steak and Eggs, adding Truffle Fries, which were an additional $5. This also came with a small side salad topped with radishes. The Steak was tender, wonderfully juicy, and flavorful. Eggs were cooked over hard, just how I like them and made expertly. Truffle fries had a generous sprinkling of Parmesan and were delightfully crispy, with strong truffle yumminess. Salad gave a fresh element to the dish. Service was lovely. Our waitress was friendly and everything came out in a timely manner. Prices were decent. I would consider returning for dinner to try the Short Rib or Brisket Mac & Cheese.

My top tier chum who literally went to the school of hospitality and I came here for a strategic lunch/rest this past Saturday during the Great Saunter (an annual event I would heartily recommend to anyone physically and mentally able - five stars all around). After not finishing the Saunter last year, I decided at the very least it was important to get off our feet for a bit, and this location made a lot of sense, literally a few buildings away from the official route off Isham Street very close to the halfway point of our adventures. Given how we were feeling at the time, this was definitely within a quarter mile of where we needed it to be before people started getting VERY yowly. This area of Inwood is really pleasant; I've been over here now a few times and it's super underrated because most people never bother to wander up past the GW Bridge. But it's super chill and gives off some Brooklyn vibes. And optics-wise, Garden Cafe fits right in. True to its name, it has a great outdoor seating area in the back, which was the perfect antidote on a pleasant day with sore feet. The interior though is dimly lit and very claustrophobic; each time we went through (entering and exiting), we had to wait for other people to pass in the area by the restroom/awkward bar area. I'm not sure how you improve that situation without a full-on reno, but it's not the best. The outdoor space helps for sure in that regard. We needed carbs like the wolf with 16 miles to go on our trek. I went with the strawberry pancakes with a side of scrambled eggs and a vanilla latte (mostly so my chum and I would remain on speaking terms after only having a fraction of my normal coffee intake at the beginning of the day). Everything was fine though nothing to write home about. The pancakes were a little dry and definitely needed the accompanying syrup, and the eggs conversely were wetter than I typically like. They also needed a bit of seasoning but they did what they were supposed to do. In hindsight, the latte might have actually been the best of the lot - it had a visually pleasing design from the milk pour and was tasty. Most of the patrons we saw nearby were on mimosa benders, which sounded fun but we had a job to do. Next time. This place got a lot of points off for the service. Our waitress was not particularly friendly - very monotone and never smiled, and once our food came? A ghost. We rarely even saw her in the patio area and we probably ended up staying an extra 15 minutes because we literally just couldn't find her to get the check. Really odd unforced error and it was actually close to the point where one of us was going to have to go inside to actively find her to ask for the bill. Not good at all. It wasn't a terrible meal by any stretch and I think ultimately you give it a thumbs up for providing a spot to rest and eat, but most people would probably consider that the bare minimum requirement of a restaurant. I'm sure you can find better around here.

It was a great place with a relaxing atmosphere. It was tough to decide between Salmon or Pork Chop. The latter appealed to me because it came with loaded baked potato. I ended up ordering the Wild Pecan Crusted Salmon, which was served with vegetables and white rice. I asked for it to come with roasted potatoes instead. When I received it, there was still rice so I had to wait extra time to get the correct dish. The Salmon was cooked perfectly, tender, flaky, and I loved the crispy, irresistibly nutty pecan crust. The veggies included were green beans and carrots, which were wonderfully crunchy. The potatoes were well seasoned. Service was not the best. I had to order before my table because I needed to leave soon, but the order was not properly prepared, so had to wait longer to begin eating. The rest of the food came in at all different times. Prices were decent, as entrees were under $30. I would consider returning to try the French Cut Pork Chop and some of the desserts, but don't feel the need to anytime soon.

Unfortunately it wasn't enough for the high price. Speaking of high prices, there's the food. We each had the Black Bean Vegan Burger because it was the cheapest vegan thing to eat here. It's $14.50 for a pretty good sized burger. This comes with lettuce and tomatoes. It's on a pita. This comes with the choice of fries or salad. It was pretty good if kind of crumbly. The burger just shouldn't have cost quite as much. Fairly good food. It just has too high prices. There's places that are just as good and much cheaper very close by this.
