Ordered hot coffee and beef kimbap to go. After tasting them, they were OK, just that.

Matcha Bingsu
Laura L.

Super yummy spot for dessert! I've tried the injeolmi waffle and matcha bingsu here. Both were so delicious and filling. This will definitely be one of my go to dessert spots in the area. The matcha bingsu was delicious and the presentation was so cute with the fish ice cream. It also had mochi and nuts throughout. At first, I was a bit skeptical of the nuts but it added a nice texture contrast and I really liked it inside the bingsu. I shared it with 2 other people and it was definitely a good portion size for us. Loved the matcha bingsu and am excited to come back to try the other flavors!! The medium sized injeolmi waffle came with 2 waffles and 2 scoops of vanilla ice cream on the side. It also came with some strawberry slices. Overall, it was very good but I would personally get the bingsu over the waffle as long as weather permits lol!

Decaf latte

Where would you go on a rainy cold afternoon. Cafe Oak is a great place in town to hangout with friends. They have coffee, Korean food and dessert. Street parking is convenient

Injeolmi Bingsoo
Rina D.

Yet another cafe in palpark to get yummy bingsoo! I originally ordered the taro bingsoo, but they ran out so I went for Injeolmi Bingsoo. The portion size was huge but there were a lot more nuts than we expected so we didn't taste the injeolmi as much. But the snowy ice was creamy and even when it melted, it tasted pretty good! The servers here are very friendly and make your order very fast. I saw lots of people coming in for their savory foods, but they were out for the day so I hope I can also try them next time I come!

Matcha Bingsoo

Another great cafe in Pal Park. Their sea salt coffee is a must-try, and I like mine with caramel! We also ordered their matcha bingsoo which was generous, and the ice was fluffy!

Sea salt coffee less sugar is so good! Need to try sea salt green tea next time. I keep forgetting Kimbap is good! Comparable to kimbob club. I was looking to see the price for the kimbap and noticed that I had their kimbap before but just didn't remember. Anyway... their kimbap is solid. The spicy pork belly is a little salty but flavorful and good! The spicy squid is also really good cus it's spicy and sweet. I think their tuna kimbap is what stands out. I think their tuna kimbap is better than kimbob club! Love how I can taste the perilla leaf and reminds me of korea. I remember the first time I tried tuna kimbap in korea and the perilla leaf and tuna just went so well. Def getting this from here but still want to try the other ones cus they have so many diff flavors. Also LOVE how there's not a lot of rice like some places! Almost forgot.. their musubi rice to egg and spam ratio is much better. Diff than a musubi but still good :) Service is good

Got the Injeolmi Bingsu ($15.95) . "Injeolmi is a variety of tteok, or Korean rice cake." Pretty expensive but around the price that I've seen around here. It was very tasty and they even put toppings inside the Bingsu, not just the top. I appreciate that! Only reducing one star because I've had better Bingsu for the same price. Kind staff too. Lots of seating space.

My partner and I took my nephew and nieces here for bubble tea. Each of us ordered different flavors. My nephew ordered lemonade since he's not a fan of bubble tea. The staff was friendly. She answered all our questions and was patient with us. There were seatings so we were able to sit and wait for our order. Now the reason for two less star. Too much sugar. We all agreed our bubble teas were way too sweet. Even the lemonade had too much sugar. I got taro and I was too overwhelmed with the sugar to even enjoy it. I would recommend informing them how sweet you want your bubble tea. Another interesting thing was my taro bubble tea had a slushy consistency. It was creamy. Not actual milk tea. Same with the coconut and cookies&cream flavors. Another thing was the cookies&cream. It looked like chocolate. I'm used to seeing cookies& cream being off white with crushed Oreo looking pieces. In terms of the decor, the place is cozy. They serve shaved ice. On the weekday you can easily find seating to enjoy it. There are two arcade games inside. I found the price to play them to be pricey.

Taro shaved ice
Lingxiao C.

We really wanted D'avant's shaved ice but only found out when we got there that they no longer make it, so we gave this place a try. We got the taro one and it was okay. The icicles were too big and the boba weren't fresh. Pretty subpar, yet brazenly overpriced. Service was also not good... The employees there weren't interested in taking the customers' orders.

Mango Bingsoo
Amanda L.

Bingsoo is the best on a hot day, which is why I came to this cafe! I like how this cafe isn't super packed unlike the other ones on the street. I ordered the mango bingsoo which could probably serve 4 people (I had a party of 3). I personally thought it tasted artificial; the whole thing was an orangey color and was covered in syrup. I thought it was still refreshing but I wasn't a huge fan of the flavor. Presentation was nice though!

Cafe Oak is by far, one of my favorite cafe's in Palisades Park. They're honest with their food and their service is great! Ambiance is also really warm, intimate and charming (reminds me of Korea in many ways). Food: I LOVE the Korean Street Toast here and it's probably the only cafe that does Korean Street Toast well in this location. They do it very authentically and with a lot of love. The price for everything here is also priced very fairly. Service: I never sat down to eat here but the workers are always very warm and welcoming when you come into the store and they also give you time to make your coffee selection. Not to mention offering any adjustments to your drink after trying it. Everyone here is very kind, patient and sweet. Ambiance: There's a lot of food and drink options to take in. So if you're not a regular, make sure to step back before ordering so you can get a full view of the various items they have on their menu (they may have seasonal items too!). Overall: 10/10 for food, drinks, service, ambiance and music selection as well. Song selections fit the vibe of the coffee shop really well.

Sesalt Coffee
Kimberly G.

Sea salt iced coffee is delicious! Perfect balance of coffee and sea salt foam. It's not too sweet too. There's a decent amount of seating inside and a wide variety of other beverages, snacks and bingsoo. Looks like the kimbap is a hit here (there's a whole list of options) but they were sold out when we came on a Saturday evening!

Jeongmin H.

Super small cafe but they have some tasty bingsoos here! This is their injeolmi bingsoo (savory and sweet), but their cream soda bingsoo is a must try

I would say Service is pretty nonexistent as you order on the counter and you see yourself with no waitressing. The cashier lady was also pretty rude and not accomodating to my request (make my drinks less sweet) so they lose a store for that. Atmosphere is cute and vibes are great, definitely has modern and traditional Korean vibes. However, I would not say that this is like a traditional tea house? Having been to A LOT of tea houses in Korea, their menu and concept is definitely far from what a traditional teahouse is like. For instance, a traditional teahouse would have assorted rice, cakes and traditional, Korean desserts, however, I feel like this place used modern French pastries, and put a Korean twist on them, which I would say is not very Korean in reality. Baked goods were OK. It tasted stale. Losing a star for that as well.

What a cute little cafe in downtown Fort Lee. I was craving some strawberry matcha and found out…read morethey have teddy bear matchas here! Naturally, I had to check it out. As a strawberry matcha lover, this is what I went for. To my surprise, they also were serving pho! They had three types of pho on the menu, so I went with the chicken pho. My chicken pho came out very quickly and first. This was delicious and I could tell it was made with so much love. I also loved the lemongrass flavor they added to it. It was a very generous portion for the price. Shortly after, my strawberry teddy bear matcha was served. This was just the perfect balance of sweetness from the strawberry and earthiness from the matcha. The teddy bear on top was the cutest touch. Overall, the food/drinks were delicious, the ambiance was adorable, the staff were friendly, and the items were very affordable. I would love to visit again!

While deciding on what to order, the owner offered to make me a drink that was off the menu. How about a mixed one with strawberry, Matcha and coconut? Hey, if the boss is recommending it I'm all for it. My son got the ube and coconut. OMG, both drinks were so darn yummy. I am not an ube fan whatsoever, but my son insisted I take a sip. I have to say it was the best ube drink I have ever tried. The coconut mixed with the strawberry and matcha is a game changer. The teddy bear made of ice was so cute and makes for a cool IG pic. The owner was sweet enough to ask if we liked it. I gave her the thumbs up and said they were excellent and that we will be back. Oddly they also serve pho here, it's not a restaurant per se. We didn't have any so I can't comment. But definitely come for these yummy Vietnamese concoctions. Street meter parking only.

The owner is very kind, and everyone working there is just as friendly. The drinks are excellent. My favorite is the black sesame - it's packed with flavor and has just the right hint of sweetness. The coffee is tasty, and the prices are very reasonable. The scones and cookies always taste fresh and homemade - not frozen or processed. My personal favorites are the peanut butter cookie and the plain scone. They make everything there! I haven't tried the cakes yet, but it's on my list! It's a smaller space, but they've done a great job fitting in tables. I actually love that they're a bit closer together - it creates a more social, community feel. I've ended up having conversations with people around me (I've even practiced my French with a stranger!), which is something we don't get enough of these days. Overall, such a cozy, welcoming addition to the neighborhood. I come here a couple of times a week to work!

All biodegradable material - which we don't find often in Bergen County. The Alsace cheesecake ($7.50) was solidly good too. What can go wrong with a cheesecake anyway ...? The seating is very limited though. Not many tables (if you can call them tables !!!!!) You need to squeeze in and we were seated right at the entrance ...

I've been here a few times and to be quite honest - I am grateful this place is a drive from me because I would eat here every day. The coffees are both unique and tasty (a bit on the milky side, but I like that), and the pastry were as fresh as could be. Not to mention, the place itself is lovely. When it's nice outside, they open the windows so you can sit and enjoy the fresh air while still being inside. Each time I've gone, the staff has been excellent too - super polite and willing to answer questions about the pastry. I've only had the coffee here, so I can't speak to their match or non-coffee drinks. Also, I am dying to try their cheesy Knafa, but it's so big I need someone to share it with!
