Meh. It's decorated so nicely honestly they did a great job. Super over priced and didn't think food was great. Service was pretty good but super confusing to go inside to look at deserts to order? Annoying. Needs more consistency and honestly prices for Tenafly are ridiculous. read more

What a cool spot right along the railroad tracks. I think it is a converted train station and the cafe concept works. It is a great place for lunch with both outdoor and indoor seating. They have a coffee shop on the one side if you want to grab and go which is what we did. I ordered the chocolate chip cookie and it was nicely done. They also have a barista who can make you any type of coffee/tea that you need. The place was packed for a weekday lunch so it has to be doing something right. They have assorted pastries and other treats like cake pops as well if you need a quick snack. Overall, this is a fun top quality place. The staff is very friendly so next time I will come back for a sit down meal. read more

I grew up around here and can say it's worth a try, but probably not the best place to repeatedly go for a "fancier" cup of coffee or light lunch in Tenafly. Tenafly Coffee Shop and Brasserie in the area are probably better, safer choices. (If you're looking for cheaper food, try Celebrity Bagel or Good Taste Chinese) The location and restaurant setup is very unique - it's inside the old train station, which is conveniently located right downtown near some shops and across the movie theater. The coffee is good! But Tenafly Coffee, which is no more than a few mins walk away, has better selection. The other reviews you are seeing about the staff has been an ongoing issue with this establishment for a long time. It is known that the manager here will hire anyone but not treat staff well, and it shows. I am sad to see it is still a problem and hope that changes read more

Yesterday was my first time at Cafe Angelique and I have to say I enjoyed my lunch. The Turkey and Swiss was extremely fresh, the salad was light but filling and the mint lemonade slushie was so delicious. The only reason I'm giving four stars instead of five is because after being seated we waited a while for our server to come to take our drink order. However it was a little busy and it seemed a little under staff. Our server though was really nice and polite. Overall it was a pleasant experience and I will be returning some more this summer. read more

Cafe Angelique - Turkey And Swiss Cheese Sandwich - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Tenafly, New Jersey

This is only my first time ordering from here and used the DoorDash app. The food is AMAZING! I chose the avocado toast and added the smoked salmon and realize I have been missing out on the most amazing combination ever! You will not regret it! Also got the Israeli bagel and it is just soothing. Another winning combo of hard boiled egg and pesto and mozzarella cheese. I will DEFINITELY be ordering from here again. Thank you for making delicious healthy food! Also the portions are on point as you can see in the picture I snapped before woofing it down! read more

Best cafe around!! My dad goes everyday and the food , coffee, staff and atmosphere are superb!! love it

Cafe Angelique is perfect for breakfast, brunch, and lunch -- no matter what I'm in the mood for, there's always something on the menu that I know I'll enjoy. It's a great place to take any friend or family member, even if they're picky, because there's a good variety of food, drinks, and pastries to choose from. I try to get a table outside whenever it's possible, but the interior is really nice as well. I've never had trouble finding parking and the restaurant is in a convenient location, close to a bus stop. Some of my favorites are the shakshuka and the asian chicken salad. The portions are generous, the prices are super reasonable, the bread is awesome, and I always leave feeling satisfied. Most recently, I ordered shakshuka and my friend ordered Belgian waffles, and we were both really happy with our meals. We always stay there and talk for a while after we finish eating, but the waiters never have a problem with it and they've always been kind. We'll be back soon! read more

Cafe Angelique - Shakshuka and Belgian waffles - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Tenafly, New Jersey

Stopped here for breakfast with some friends. The waitress wasn't very knowledgeable with the menu. One of my friends has a food restrictions to almond so when asked if they can substitute the almond croissant in the French toast for regular bread they said no. Which is strange since they make sandwiches so not sure why she couldn't be accommodated. The coffee and pastries are ok, but if that's the case go straight to Balthazar bakery up the block where it's probably fresher. Not sure if I'll be back. read more

Delicious food! And a great ambiance. This old train station has been around for years and is super popular on the weekends. They have outdoor seating for when the weather is nice. Slowww service though read more

Decent restaurant with premier food items (the server even told me that the ingredient label to my dessert was written in italian). Plenty of friendly waitstaff that have you taken care of. A white-gloved service. They have an excellent outdoor seating area for a nice luncheon al fresco. Will definitely recommend to all my girlfriends that come to town... My only peeve is that the appetizers were a little too small for the price I was paying... read more

We're longtime fans of this wonderful cafe. Great coffee drinks and delicious American/Euro/Israeli breakfast and lunch fare. We especially love he outdoor seating in warm weather. It's beyond comprehension how this is not at least a 4-star choice on Yelp (people ... go figure). So, one small but actually fairly urgent bit of feedback. Since removing the carpet from the dining room, the noise is unbearable. The staff understood and seemed to share the grievance, making his decision inexplicable. Unless this is corrected, we will have to limit our visits to off hours or good weather when we can sit outdoors. PLEASE FIX THIS!! read more

I used to be a regular customer going there 3x a week for the past 1 year ordering their granola bowl... the staff has always been responsive... I always needed a small mustard cup of extra granola... and the staff had no problem with that, and I always tipped well... only recently, they charged me an extra $2 for that! Now, put it into perspective... I spent $90 a week at this place... you would think a small cup of extra granola is no big deal... (we know the cost of this is nothing)... but to nickel and dime me with this? for an extra $2, you lost my business... this cafe also charges $2 for hot water... hmmm... no one ever charges for this! so I get it.. you run a business... but really!??? $2???? I never see the owners, the staff would run if they found better jobs, and since their long-time manager left, many regular customers have left for other nearby cafes for the better energy... and vibe... they also say they open at 7 am... but that is when the staff is using bleach (not healthy) to clean the floors... take your $2... and lose your $90 per week... read more

Recent lunch visit - excellent in terms of adjusting to covid protocols, outside roomy area. However, the food was mediocre at best. I had the Mediterranean Heaven salad. The stuffed grape leaves were ok but it was a basic salad. My friend had the mozz ciabatta which looked like something I made at home in my panini machine. The presentation was non existent. Sad because I really used to enjoy this place. The service however was very good. Will try next time for dessert - but I would pass on food, read more

Cafe Angelique has deep, rich, smoothe European coffee. The coffee is something to be savored. The food is good, but the service is sketchy. Sometimes it is adequate other times, it is positively non-existent. Outdoor seating in the summer and Spring is fabulous with the Park, Train Station and downtown area in fresh air as your scenery. That alone is reason to go. Go for the coffee, go for the breakfast, go for the ambience, but by all means give it a try! read more

This place is benefiting a lot from its location and its unique architecture (restored railway station) which gives a nostalgic and romantic feel. Since there aren't that many cool cafes in NJ, this place became very popular among rich Tenafly/Englewood residents. The service is average, the waiters are young kids too busy talking to themselves. The cakes are good, but over-priced for NJ. In summery, it's a nice alternative to Starbucks to have a cup of coffee. Food: B+ Service:B- Atmosphere:B+ read more

I have been here a couple or three times, each time wanting to have a better experience; I still nurture the hope that maybe there's a time when the counterperson will have the time, or feel more comfortable with herself or himself in the role as counterperson, to just say "good day! May I help you?" and "thank you" when I pay. Of course, that hasn't happened yet. Now, reading the more recent comments, I'm convinced that either there's no manager who cares to check up on customer's comments on Yelp, or there isn't one at all, or, and this is a real problem, we customers haven't made it clear that crap service isn't worth the prices Cafe Angelique charges. It's not just "labor" who "strikes" and pickets. It's an insult to Atwood's architecture and us that we should let this continue. And I don't care if it's your lovely children working there!!! Then demand of the High School that a course in Customer Service be a credit course! NOTE: if you really are sentimental about Tenafly, go to the diner! read more

REALLY overpriced. I mean come on, almost $8 for a puny little slice of cake? Did I say Puny!! Not even 1 inch thick. $8 for a small tiramisu? I think they get away with it because of trendiness and being in the more upscale area. Adorable town and downtown but this place kinda turned me off. As a French immigrant with an Italian mother from Napoli, I know my pastries and not only are they unnecessarily overpriced but they're really meh. Hubby liked his latte and thought it was smooth though. My advice? If you must go to experience a cafe in Tenafly, just get a latte, skip the pastries altogether and save yourself the $ and disappointment. Many many better bakeries out there! read more

So let's start with the fact that they don't make the food at their premises. They get it delivered. Therefore, if you want a popular dish, there's a good chance that they ran out of it. This has happened multiple times to us when ordering the salmon stick (salmon on a small bagel). The lattes are great and the service is usually wonderful! The waiters get all the stars!!! Easy to find parking and they have outdoor seating which is pleasant. If you want breakfast or lunch, stop by and see what you like. Also, the desserts are delicious! read more

Cafe Angelique - Chicken Pesto Sandwich Avocado Toast Sandwich - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Tenafly, New Jersey

I've been here multiple times whenever I'm visiting my in-laws in Bergenfield and I really can't bring myself to enjoy Cafe Angelique... The cafe is located in the middle of Tenafly where the train tracks are. It offers outside seating during the warm summer nights and large seating inside the cafe. The cafe looks sort of like an old train station made to replicate cafes in Europe. It's inviting in the sense that it allows people to come enjoy a cup of coffee in the middle of the town or a romantic dessert date. I do enjoy the interior as it offers the large dining section and the 'to go' section is in another part of the cafe. While the staff (specifically Vanessa and Manuel) were amazing at providing above and beyond service, I can't bring myself to enjoy the desserts and beverages that the cafe offers. Previously having dessert here that I did NOT enjoy, I decided to only order a hot chocolate with Almond milk. Granted I didn't get whipped cream or regular milk with my hot chocolate, it tasted like Swiss chocolate mix. Very bland with only the color of hot chocolate, it was definitely not worth the $4 for a small mug. The tiramisu my husband had was surprisingly not as bad as I thought it was going to be... My only reason for coming here was because my in-laws love this place, but it just doesn't do it for me. It doesn't seem worth it me to pay the $4 for a hot chocolate when Starbucks offers the same options and their's is much more flavorful. Again, I have tried Cafe Angelique multiple times and each time it never gets any better. I would not go out of my way to come here for a cup of coffee/tea or dessert. My two stars is really because Vanessa and Manuel were such amazing hosts and extremely friendly towards our group of 6. read more

While the food is almost okay the service is completely unacceptable. We've been seating and waiting for over 90 minutes for our drinks and food, had our order taken 3 times just to find out that it did not even make it to the kitchen. So after waisting an hour and a had without being served we left and went to eat somewhere else. Treating customers with such disrespect is just showing that they really don't care- what a shame! read more

OUTDOOR DINING COVID REVIEW Came here for outdoor dining this past weekend. And wow their protocol for keeping you safe is very concerning. Few things I noticed... just because an employee is wearing gloves doesn't mean you're safe and doesn't mean there is no cross contamination!!! These employees are touching people's plates and cups and everything and then going to other tables and touching their stuff too! Unless they are changing their gloves between every table (which I didn't see myself) then again... UNSAFE!!! Covid germs can easily spread!!! They leave salt and pepper shakers and sugar packets out on the table. Is that for real? The whole POINT of this new protocol of outdoor dining during covid is to PREVENT all possible chances of cross contamination. Why are salt and pepper shakers sitting out on the table for ppl to eat with their hands and touch. That's unacceptable. And when we got there, our table had crumbs everywhere. Again, totally unacceptable. If you're doing outdoor dining during covid you MUST be aware of where ppl have sat down and PROPERLY DISINFECT the table when the guests leave that table. Very simple. Disappointed in the attention to detail here at Cafe Angelique. Suggestion; have employees who ONLY touch dirty things as they clear tables and have employees who ONLY serve clean plates utensils etc. AND properly disinfect the table! Keep all salt and pepper off the table. If a customer wants salt and pepper then shake it for them on their food until they say stop. If they need sugar packets then bring a few out at a time at a customers request. Again, THE GOAL HERE is to prevent all possible chances of cross contamination to the best of your ability. There seems to have been zero thought put into the process here. read more

Second time having a late lunch (2p) on a Saturday here and it was yummy and the service was great! Not sure what I ordered that last time, but there were a lot of new items on the menu today. As we entered through their bakery, the display of colorful macaroons caught my eye! I must come back to try those out soon! We entered the dining room and were invited to sit where we wanted. They were fairly busy (only about 2-3 empty tables open) with, what looked like a full staff running orders. We chose a table by the window overlooking some shops across the street. Within a couple minutes the server came to take our drink order. One large black coffee and one medium soy moccachino. She came back with our drinks and took our order. I ordered the Smoked Salmon Bagel Stick (may they should rename it...?) and the Turkey and Cheese Croissant, both were delicious! The bagel stick was filled with cream cheese, basil leaves and smoked salmon. It was a small portion, so if you're going to try it out, I suggest ordering something else to go with it to make it a meal. As for the turkey croissant, it totally hit the spot. Thinly sliced turkey and melted swiss cheese on a warm, flaky croissant -- perfect! Fiancee had their Greek salad. The entree salads are big, so have a good appetite if you're going to order one. The salad was filled to the brim of the decorative, slanted bowl and was topped with a lot of feta cheese. All items came out at the same time and we had a good time enjoying the food and the ambiance. Overall, service was quick and food came out in good time. Total cost for lunch - $35 with tip included. I've included some pics. read more

Excellent portions are so generous and its such a beautiful location. Its a nice place to have breakfast or to meet a friend for coffee.

Hit or miss. I really like the iced mint lemonade when it's made well it's suppose to be slushy style because that's how I order it. But sometimes it's really watered down and sometimes it's really yummy. 3 stars for the inconsistency. It's also a convenient nice place for a quick business meeting which is what I like it for. I really would like to rate the place higher because it can be a nice visit but needs to be more consistent. read more

Just popped in for a capuccino. Drink was OK. Very cute ambience, seemed like they are friendly, quick and food looked yummy. Will try and come back for brunch. read more

My favorite thing about Cafe Angelique is the ambiance: the European red painted walls with long Renaissance-like portraits and cupid momentos dressing the room. I love how this place is built in an old train station with plenty of sunlight flooding the room. The food is decent to great depending on what you get. I usually get the Israeli bagel, which is really good. Their pastries/baked goods are good in general. My mother is in love with all their espresso drinks. It's a tad pricey, but then again, it's the full on experience of sitting in the room that makes it worth it. Today's servers were fairly nice and accommodating but I know that in the past few years I've frequented this place, they have not always been the friendliest. I guess their trying to reconstruct their image. I'd say fair job well done. read more

Setting is cute but other than that not really a fan of this place. Service is less than enthusiastic. Desserts were ok. Bitter chocolate mousse is just regular and not particular dark chocolate tasting. The other chocolate mousse was just overly sweet. And my mint tea was two mint sprigs in NJ water which tasted basically like dirty grass water. I mean it's cool if you had put a ton of fresh mint in there but really the small amount of kind plus gross water taste just made it unpleasant. I had expected just a regular tea bag of mint tea. Maybe describe it more on the menu? They have outdoor seating which we didn't go to so maybe it's nice to sit out there. Overall underwhelming and disappointing. read more

Great food. I am giving a 1 star review because I was quietly working on my laptop there and the manager there kicked me out because "they needed a table." Meanwhile I tipped well. I will be taking my business elsewhere in the future. read more

Great service!! Huge portions, like when I ordered a soup and salad for a light lunch, I didn't expect Olive Garden sizes.. Food is tasty for the most part, but chicken was a bit tough Location is nice, but if you want to sit outside, the parking lot is situated so close that you are obligated to breathe in exhaust fumes as you take a big bite. read more

Really cute cafe. I couldn't believe there was a Cafe Angelique in Tenfaly! But when I saw the menu and the prices, I believed it. Its my first time here; I usually go to the on on Bleecker. Ordered a mocha, iced coffee and a cheesecake and it was $19 altogether. It's OK. The cheesecake was Kosher and it tasted good. But not amazing. Again, everything was just OK. The only reason why I gave them 3 stars? The staff were extremely friendly and nice. Very, very warm. They were attentive even though they were extremely packed! read more

When you leave New York for the northern suburbs you do so because you're looking for places to discover that are off the beaten path, who can offer specialties you might not find in established neighborhoods that you've been going to over and over since you moved here as I did in the mid-90s. Last Friday a friend and I took a short trip to the Tenafly Nature Center, a park outside the affluent town offering trails and stations where you can sit and observe and be one with nature. I'm into forest therapy, and to be surrounded with so much fall color, a thing that made the area preternaturally alive with deep, fiery oranges and sun-kissed yellows peppered with deep wine and amethyst, was a wonderful experience for the both of us. We emerged elated and renewed. Coming back, we decided to stop for coffee. Tenafly doesn't provide a Starbucks that I know of so we took a gamble to Cafe Angelique, a former train station located in the now closed Bow-Tie Tenafly Cinemas. Café Angelique is an odd, schizophrenic coffee nook. The entrance has a warm, inviting atmosphere that feels closer to an ice cream shop, with a trio of high tables where you can sit and enjoy a pastry alongside a coffee of your choice in complete privacy. The staff--a tall guy in a hip navy blue T shirt with white stars, and some Hispanic-looking workers, seemed to be having a great time talking while working. I smiled at that rapport. However, the moment we stepped into the "seating place" which had a sign placed on its entrance describing it for " consumers only" (not inviting, a shame), I felt something amiss. A sharp faced lady with black hair, probably pushing 70, deeply absorbed into her phone, immediately looked up with a look of pre disdain at me as I held a conversation with my friend. I stared back and she continued to give me the angry look as if I'd interrupted a moment of electronic zen and had the manners of an ex-con. But, because I don't pay attention to the neurotic or the privileged, I soldiered on. We sat deep into the cafe and continued to talk (albeit in a hushed tone although there were some college kids having a rather animated conversation among themselves). Expecting this to be a passing cloud we decided to order. We were wrong. A tall girl with a dour expression came to our table and in a tone of sheer boredom and trust-fund baby entitlement she asked for our orders. I took a while, which didn't endear me to her. In the end, I ordered after my friend, and in no moment did she extend the courtesy to announce if there were specials or maybe suggestions. After all, for a place that seems to have been there for a long time, wouldn't that have been the right thing to do? I was at a loss. It didn't help that my friend informed me that not once had she ever witnessed service being friendly from the girls working there.l and that all of them seemed to believe and act as if they were above their jobs. Adding to that the already hostile, heavy atmosphere that hovered in the seated section, we drank our beverages rather quickly and left. However I will say that the entrance place which I described earlier was much better. Perhaps we should have stayed there? Who knows. My advice: find a Starbucks nearby or an alternate choice. Or avoid Tenafly altogether. It seems to be an entitled, unfriendly, over-privileged town. Unless you're "white / affluent." read more

The food here is very good, the place is also very nice with outdoor seating and is perfect for lunch, dinner or if you just want a pastry and a coffee. The one issue I have with this place is the service is not great here I have come and it has been decent but on more than one occasion it has been subpar. However, when I come here I make sure not to be in a rush or on the brink of starvation and even though it may take some time I usually enjoy my meal. I recommend: the hummus, cobb salad and the espresso here all are very good. read more

Maybe this is specific to the meal we ordered for breakfast, shak shuka, which has many accurate pictures here. I don't feel like the egg was poach the way i like it or am used to, like an eggs Benedict. Not sure what they do different just no... After reading the menu i also expect more like a bruschetta i guess. What you actually get is tomato sauce with some chopped peppers. Sorry i don't want to pay 11$ (over priced imo or whatever it is) for some badly poaches eggs in a regular tomato sauce w peppers, i would just make it myself. Maybe the other food is more appetizing but still somewhat overpriced, 11$ for a 2 egg omelette w 2 add ins. My suggestion would be go w the cheap croissant breakfast egg sandwich even tho it only has one egg, or maybe the Belgium waffle w fruit, and also maybe their pastries they look alright. Sorry angelique get your egg dishes up and their prices down. read more

Terrible. Very slow and less than mediocre food. I will not be returning. I ordered a turkey and cheese sandwich for my daughter and the picture shows what i received. Cold bread in a basket, which was thrown on the table after having to remind the waitress about the bread (again, for a sandwich I had ordered). What first landed on our table was the rolled up turkey on a plate and shredded cheese.... I don't understand how they can serve this. And it took over 30 mins to get the plate of turkey and cheese to our table. Just awful. read more

Bad service in a coffee shop That's what happens when you hire kids to work in the service industry. I ask for a new bottle of sparkling water after the waitress spilled coffee on the one she gave me and she started laughing when she realized I am serious she went inside the shop and gave me back the same bottle that was dirty With a smile on her face . Is this a joke If yes it's a bad one The place is dirty and food is even worse. As an owner you need service people with experience not kids that will laugh in your face read more

First time here today! My mom and I came to spend some time together and Destiny was our server and she was amazing! I will definitely come again!

I came in at 7:54 am, not knowing the cafe opened at 8am. After standing outside for a while while the young brunette waitress saw us, she didn't come out to serve us or even say they aren't open. My mom knocked on the window and the lady finally came out and said in a rude tone "why are you knocking on the window?" We said because we wanted to be seated. She replied that they opened at 8 and my mom asked what time it was- the lady said "7:57am" and went back inside. There were a million set, open tables outside and she refused to acknowledge us. She didn't even need to open a door to let us in. She couldn't have seated us THEN done whatever she so desperately needed to do for the next 3 minutes before 8am? This was rude, unprofessional, and I'm very disappointed. The caramel latte also stunk when I came in last time. Props for the Israeli food on the menu, though. read more

What a hidden gem!! I stopped in to get coffee before going to the movies across the street. I was expecting just a coffee shop but it is so much more!!!

I also enjoyed the most delicious chocolate chip cookie I have ever tasted!! read more

Let's be real....you don't come to Café Angelique for the food, the laid-back servers, or the luke-warm coffee. This former railroad station just happens to be one of the most charming places to sit and enjoy the company of friends, especially in the beautifully decorated inside. But after today's experience, I was so disheartened to see that the manager has even taken away even that small aesthetic pleasure by blasting horrible, loud, thumping music so that you actually had to shout to carry on a conversation. Lovely Café Angelique (now more like Café Angel-teen) now has the ambience of a sports bar. No thank-you. Manager, please study your clientelle. read more
