    Jen's Crespelle Nutty Monkey Crespelle

    We stopped in for brunch shortly before noon and it was busy. We choose to sit outside because it was very noisy inside. The weather was nice in the mid 70's. Our waiter greeted us and was very cordial. My wife had a Nutella crepe and I had a crepe with eggs , bacon and cheese with a side of potatoes. She had a fruit juice drink. We were there just under an hour. The brunch ran just over $50 for the two of us. That's about right nowadays as there are no longer any sit down value meals. It

    This place is a such a vibe and we love it. Loves: + Delicious food (eg. monte cristo, breakfast burrito, etc!) + Good drinks + Cute and clean aesthetic + Lovely staff The place gets very busy on weekends but it's worth the hype! P.S. Service is not great in there so best to get on the guest WiFi. :)

    Jersey Madame
    Gina L.

    Stopped by on a Friday morning in a group of 5 around 11:30am. Had a little wait (signed up for the text messaging system) - we were told there'd be a ~30 min wait, but we were seated in around 10 min. Outdoor seating is great on a day with nice weather, indoor seating is very cozy and "modern diner"-eque. My friend who has been before said they expanded their seating area to accommodate more diners. I got the Jersey Madame ($19), which is a spinoff of a croque madame but with a stack of pancakes and a slice of pork roll. A bit steep in price, but tasty nevertheless. Filling thanks to the generous bechamel sauce. Friends got the huevos rancheros, yogurt bowl, and they enjoyed their food. Yogurt bowl came with lots of fresh fruit plated very prettily. Food and drink priced on the higher side (as expected in this neighborhood), but friendly staff and cozy atmosphere.

    The Lift Dip Panino

    The sandwiches and mains here are DROOL WORTHY. I got the dip panino and oh my god, it was divine- very flavorful and the jus dripping dip added... je ne sais quoi. Others in my party got the burger and egg cheesesteak which were also tasty. The fries / potatoes were kind of dried out which is really the only negative thing I have to say, but we were late diners so that may be par for the course. Service was great and the cafe's vibes are lovely. I'm a visitor but will demand coming back on my next trip!

    Huevos Rancheros

    First time at Cafe Lift and will return soon! My friends and I met up for brunch on a Sunday. We had to wait 40 minutes for a table for 3, which was expected. I ordered the huevos rancheros and it was one of the best ones I ever had! The salsa on the side was very savory and the roasted red peppers and avocado complimented the meal. Just wish they would take reservations on the weekends because it gets very packed.

    4.5** Such a cute brunch spot!! Only came in for the coffee to go but the inside of the spot is absolutely stunning. I loved all the subtle nods to baseball, it was the cherry on top. Super nice service too! I ended up getting the iced honeysuckle latte and it was really yummy. Definitely would love to come back to try their food!

    Brunch Date Bliss at Café Lift NJ After a midwife appointment, my husband and I treated ourselves to brunch at Café Lift in New Jersey, and it was such a memorable and delicious stop during our day. I been here before celebrating a friend's birthday, and then another time I had brunch with a friend too, so I definitely wanted my husband to experience this since we are big breakfast/brunch folk. I had the Street Corn Frittata, and it was everything I didn't know I needed -- fluffy egg whites layered with roasted corn, cotija cheese, avocado, and a smoky chipotle drizzle, served with warm tortillas and crispy home fries. It was bursting with flavor and felt hearty yet light -- like a comforting hug with a kick. My husband ordered the Breakfast Poutine, and it was indulgent in the best way -- a bowl of crispy waffle fries smothered in cheese sauce, topped with a fried egg and sliced red chilies for a little heat. Perfectly savory and satisfying. We shared the Lemon Ricotta Pancakes, and WOW. They were soft, tangy, just slightly sweet, and topped with powdered sugar and strawberries. A perfect ending to balance out the savory dishes. The vibe was relaxed, the service was quick and kind, and it made for the perfect post-appointment brunch date. Highly recommend Café Lift NJ for anyone looking for a spot that delivers bold flavors with a cozy, modern twist.

    Mmm - table for 5, each of us ordered a different dish, and each of them was declared delicious. (Hot tip- always dine here with someone that will share!) It was a busy Saturday mid morning, but we enjoy the clamor and the bustle, and we shopped along the street while we waited to be seated. Our service was personable and timely, drink selection was good, the 20 something's in our party " liked the vibe" and we all enjoyed our brunch together.

    Hearty breakfast!

    Visited Cafe Lift, in Haddonfield, N.J. today. We were meeting friends from Pennsylvania, so this was a midway point to meet. The place is trendy & family friendly. The menu had a lot to offer! There were 5 in our party. Each one enjoyed their breakfast. Afterwards walking around this quaint charming town was a treat & a great way to digest our hearty meals, before heading home & a long drive! Would definitely return & recommend this restaurant.

    Food was great! the portions were really good, especially for the price for everything--very well seasoned, came out quick and hot! service was very nice, staff was very was accommodating and welcoming! even with how busy things were at the time, they continued to check up on us as we ate! ambiance was really good--beautiful art, and i really liked the cutlery, very pretty! overall 10/10 for me! would def recommend for a brunch place & would love to come back again!

    Mushroom Toast and Lemon Ricotta Pancake
    Deepali P.

    I absolutely loved the mushroom toast. And I really like that they have a lot of options for the sides. I love their lemon ricotta pancakes but prefer more savory for brunch so being able to get just one as a side was honestly the best thing ever. Our server was really nice as well. Only downside is the wait said 45 minutes, we didn't get a text but we just stopped by to check and they had a table ready. It's also really loud in there but we got a table in the back so that wasn't bad!

    One of my favorite brunch spots in the area, but be ready for a wait & to walk around until a table opens up! They have a super large menu with lots of breakfast or lunch options, plus sweets. The chicken cutlet sandwich was incredible with house made focaccia, fresh mozzarella, broccoli rabe, and roasted red peppers. The candied dried orange mocha coffee is also one of the best specialty coffees I have tried!

    Mother's Day and no reservations can be made- the wait was close to two hours. We received a text message and had 10 mins to arrive back to the restaurant. Haddonfield is super cute and walkable so we walked around, enjoyed the weather, and took a seat on one of the many benches. I ordered the huevos rancheros with eggs on the side and a latte. Everything was delicious. My expectations were high because I enjoyed cafe lift in Philadelphia and the Haddonfield location did not disappoint!

We ordered the short rib, the chicken, and a fish special. All three dishes were excellent. However, the stand out was the chicken and the incredible sauce. They also served really delicious housemade bread. For dessert we had the bread pudding and the chocolate torte. The restaurant is very simple inside but still charming. There is downstairs seat or in the main room, balcony seating, and also a small private room for functions. Prices were in the $25-$40 range for entrées. The menu is diverse, but not overwhelming. They also serve brunch on Saturday and Sunday. We really enjoyed our meal there and would definitely go back. 4.5 Yelp stars.

    I should preface this review by saying that in another life, I will come back as a professional B &…read moreB traveler and reviewer. I have stayed in countless B & Bs and have contacted Select Registry (the B & B directory that highlights luxury inns) four times to suggest myself to become one of their reviewers. They haven't responded, and maybe they shouldn't hire me because I'm brutally honest, picky, and have high standards when it comes to inns. Inns have to pay a hefty fee to be featured that book, so I'd probably piss off their paying inns. But I'd make a lot of them happy, too, because when something is good, I let the world know. But I digress. Let's get back to Haddonfield Inn. I'd like to give them 5 stars because they are a dog-friendly inn. And when I called to book the room, Nicole, the innkeeper's daugher, was such a sweetheart. I really, really wanted this to be a fantastic experience because it's close to NYC, they take dogs, and we could return time and time again. Yay for NJ! We were off to a GREAT start! Right? WRONG. We get here and I go to the restroom to relieve myself. I see that the maid has not yet cleaned the floor... there's hair and dirt on the floor. I know, I know. I'm picky, but for $259 a night, a clean bathroom would be a nice touch. I told the innkeeper (I was very nice and charming about it) and she came to clean it herself. It took her 2 seconds flat. She ran back out and called my name. "Angela, you owe us another $20 because you are only staying for one night. Can I have your credit card again?" Huh?? Now normally an extra 20 bucks would not throw me. But we were told when I booked the room that it was $259 and were sent the receipt in a follow-up confirmation. So I asked her about it and she just mumbled something about the fact that Nicole made a mistake and she was just going to have to charge me the extra $20. I told her that this is not what was told to us when we booked and I had the receipt to prove it. She turned to me and said, "Well, if you aren't happy about it, you can just leave." I stuck my 8-month pregnant belly out (just in case she missed it... doesn't she know that you aren't supposed to mess with a lady who is that pregnant?) and said, "I'm not unhappy, I'm shocked at the way you are treating your customer." She knew she was wrong and after mumbling some comments that I chose not to hear, she said she'd reimburse us the $20. And, to her credit, she wrote us an apology note later in the evening. I would have given this place 2 stars, but because Nicole was such a nice person to us and because they accept dogs, I give them a freebie star.

I was immediately impressed that we were greeted by the owner & innkeeper for the evening as soon as we parked. They gave us a quick tour of the house and showed us to our room. I really liked that Inn is kid friendly. We have a 2 year old daughter, and I've heard most B&B's do not allow small children. Since this was practically the only lodging available in Haddonfield, we were very thankful that we were able to bring the 2 year old on the trip with us. Drinks, snacks, and wine were available at any hour of the day. We really liked our room, but it got pretty chilly on our first night. We could not figure out how to turn on the fireplace in our room. We found out the next morning that the gas was off in the entire house, which was why we couldn't turn the fireplace on. However, they quickly remedied the situation and our room returned to a comfortable temperature in no time. I would return based on the location and the super friendliness of the staff. We really enjoyed our stay.

This wasn't my first time at Sabrina's, so I already knew the service would probably be a little different with the Mother's Day rush -- and understandably so. Overall, the food was still good! We started with their Blueberry Lavender Lemonade, made with blueberry and lavender, then garnished with fresh blueberries and lemon. It was so refreshing and honestly one of my favorite parts of the meal. For our entrées, I ordered the Shrimp & Grits and added salmon, while my daughter got the Teriyaki Salmon Bowl. For appetizers, we tried one of their "Heated Rivalry" May specials: Shane Hollander's Jambalaya Benedict. It came with shredded potato waffles, two poached eggs, fried shrimp, Creole sauce, smoked beef andouille sausage, pico de gallo, and green onions. Now listen... it looked AMAZING on the menu and had so much potential, but the taste was a little underwhelming for me. The dish came out room temperature, almost like it had been sitting for a while, and I really think it would've hit differently if it had been served hot -- especially the potato waffles. Still, I understand they were extremely busy and trying to accommodate everyone during the holiday rush. Sabrina's is definitely still a local favorite that I'll continue to support. Overall rating for this visit: 8/10

My young son really enjoyed this. The fried buttermilk chicken was so on point that we ordered a second one as a side dish. Likewise the buttermilk chicken sandwich was great. I added bacon which was a good call. I would have liked the bacon a bit crispier and I think raw spinach rather than sautéd spinach would have helped the chicken stay crispier. We also order pancakes. The pancakes were super big. I'm talking dinner plate big. Unfortunately the taste did not live up to the big size. The texture was off putting and the flavor was strange. As for ambiance, it can get a bit loud since it is essentially and empty room with only a little decoration. They do have a small outside eating area which was quieter and could be quite nice on a day with comfy temperatures. All in all it was a good experience and we would go back again.

Our waitress seemed a bit flustered, but still very friendly and attentive. We ordered quickly and our food came out really fast. I got an omelette with salad greens. Everything seemed fresh and flavorful. I had zero issues with my food. One of my kids got the French toast with bacon and fruit and the other got a grilled cheese with fruit. Both kids liked the main meal but the fruit was on its way out. Lots of brown and squishy spots. Normally my kids could eat a pound of fruit each, but they both passed on it. My wife got a breakfast sandwich with potatoes. She really wanted fries, but they had none. What breakfast restaurant doesn't have French fries? We thought that was pretty strange.

That beet juice was interesting but tasted very healthy which doesn't mean it didn't taste good. It just wasn't sweet but it was good and it felt like it did something good for my system. We sat right outside of the kitchen so we did get to see all of the plates come out which is what I like to do so I can get inspired if I need some help finding something to eat but the server took care of that for us. I've been to another since and although the service and food was good, this guy was better.

Then my husband takes the time from his day to speak with owner. He thought he had a constructive conversation, only to find the owner goes straight into his kitchen in front of customers and tells the young boy what my husband said. So unprofessional! They have an open kitchen and this guy thinks it's a good idea to speak with your employee now??? Little did they know while they were trash talking my husband, instead of appreciating the fact that he wasn't asking for money and only wanted gave valuable constructive feedback from repeated customers, that they all chose to turn it around and call my husband a jerk. I did call out that they need to be more careful about how they speak about customers and it was quite interesting to see an entire kitchen and at least 5 customers in line speechless and in shock! As they should have been. Like the rest of society these days, no one knows how to behave and be professional anymore. I'm beyond embarrassed for the owner and anyone affiliated with this restaurant. Just downright pathetic!
