    Cezanne Breakfast
    Sonia T.

    Quaint neighborhood spot with Turkish-American breakfast options and unique coffee. The breakfast was decent for the price. The Turkish coffee packed a punch. Staff were very friendly. The Cezanne breakfast was alright. The bread was soggy and the spinach was slimy. The bacon was very crispy though. The classic breakfast eggs were quite rubbery. The interior is small and humble. Plastic utensils and bottled water are provided to go along with each order. Street parking is available. Expect to pay $13-18 per dish.

    Pretty busy for a Wednesday Morning and even though it appeared to be a one man operation we were served fast! I tried the Turkish breakfast platter which was a lot of food but so good! This is our second time eating here and it was just as good as the first time. great customer service!

    Cafe Talya is a hidden gem. The service was great... the coffee mug stayed full and the breakfast was quick and delicious. The owner seemed to be running the place by himself taking order and cooking up on the grill. The place was cozy and different to a lot of other breakfast spots. Definitely worth the stop.

    We will go back for pancakes! Food wasn't bad but it was way too salty for us. However, service here is crazy good. Our waitress is crazy quick! She's a star. Pancakes were so amazing, a nice amount of fluff and big!

    An adorable place to get lunch or breakfast, the food is delicious and cooked right in front of you. The owners are incredibly nice and the service is great. I would highly recommend this cozy local spot for their fresh OJ and their omelettes.

    I've eaten here a couple of times over the years and I am always happy with the food and service. The menu has all of the usual diner fare, and a few surprises like the Turkish breakfast. My mushroom and cheddar omelette was very good, including the potatoes; I particularly like that they automatically serve jam with toast. There are not many tables so there usually is a wait, but it goes quick. Service is fast and very warm/friendly so I am bumping up to five stars.

    Visited here for the first time today and wow was I impressed. I was greeted by two of the staff who were friendly and knew their customers. Cafe Talya is a small and cozy spot; it's the hospitality plus the delicious menu items that'll keep you coming back! My friend ordered the french toast and I ordered the vegetarian omelet which came with breakfast potatoes and toast. I also ordered a cup of freshly squeezed orange juice as I always have too! Our food came out pretty quick and the portions? Huge for the price! My omelet was cooked to perfection and the breakfast potatoes were crispy. My friend loved her french toast as it came with fruit and whipped cream. I love spots like this and I can't believe I didn't visit sooner. They love their customers and greet each one with a smile. They knew majority by name too. Will be back!

    We first ordered take-out from Cafe Tayla a few months back and were hooked! My husband and son have been to Cafe Talya a few times since after hockey practice at Bayonne HS and raved each time about it. So finally I got to sit down to this most excellent food for myself this past weekend. I ordered the original French toast with strawberries and it did not disappoint! So light with just the right touch of cinnamon. Bacon I ordered was crisp and delicious, not greasy at all. My son devoured two orders of silver dollar pancakes and my husband enjoyed his burger and fries. The cafe is small but cozy and inviting. The servers are so friendly and accommodating. We cannot wait to go back. Oh, and the prices are just right too!

    Such a hidden gem in Bayonne. Great food, great staff, small space but always accommodating. This is hands down our favorite place to grab breakfast in the area.

    Amazing! Came here for a lovely anniversary dinner :)…read more This place has that old school Bayonne charm. Plus the outside porch area is cute and nautical, has a water feature with koi fish. The inside is rustic, and coastal themed. The servers were very nice and attentive. The portions huge and the prices right. We split the combo for 2 that was $54 and came with a huge lobster tail, filet mignon, chicken and grilled shrimp. Plus three sides which are rice, green beans and broccoli and home made potato chips. Also per person include soup or salad! And they bring over warm rolls, which were excellent and crunchy on outside and fluffy on inside. The potato chips tasted so fresh, lightly seasoned and delicious. The fish and meat were cooked perfectly. The steak had a nice char and sear on the outside. We got the tartufo for dessert and it was delicious, super creamy ice cream and decadent chocolate shell. Definitely want to come back! Great value, service and quality of food. 5/5.

    This is going to be a longgggggg one :…read more I called and asked if a reservation was needed and I was told NO . I also explained it was my boyfriend's birthday and I wanted everything to go smooth . We go in and at first we were going to sit outside since they have a beautiful back space with a koi fish pond and real nice decor . But there were mosquitoes, so we decided to sit inside . So once inside I asked to sit at a table with 4 chairs even tho there were only 2 of us and I was told NO ( he than Goes on to explain that they don't have anymore space etc) . Just keep in mind the room was pretty big and more than half of the tables were EMPTY . And let me highlight THEY STAYED EMPTY FOR THE ENTIRE 2 hours we were there . Also I ordered the grilled scallops and was told it came with 3 sides . However once my boyfriend placed his order ( just 2 appetizers I was then told that my dinner only came with 1 side instead of 3 ). Honestly that makes no sense to me , you either get 3 sides or you don't . You mean to tell me that unless the other person orders a whole dinner I can't have the sides I need ? That's ridiculous because I would have paid for them individually, however I wasn't even given that choice , since I only ordered one dinner I could only have one side . ( I would have paid for the extra sides but then again I wasn't given that option) = UNACCEPTABLE. So I can't sit at a table that has been empty and remained empty the entire time I was there . And I can't have extra sides even if I pay for them . Makes no sense to me . The food was well seasoned , however I felt like it absolutely lacked presentation . It's like they just threw the stuff in your plate and that was it :( The place is beautiful , specially the outdoor seating . Aside from all the bugs ( that's not really their fault ) . But the fact I was denied a table in an entire room that basically had NO ONE IN IT for the whole time I was there and the fact I couldn't even order what I wanted ( even if I paid for side dishes ) because I didn't order two dinners is absolutely RIDICULOUS!!!! Such a shame because I would have gone back for the food even tho there wasn't any presentation . But the service is honestly by far the worst service I ever had at a place in a long time . So sad , disappointing and it makes no sense . Go to other places in town , this is really not worth your time , service is really BAD !!!!

Our food was delivered a half hour later but the delivery person was very nice and found our apartment quickly and dropped the food off at the door which was great. We tried the snapper and vegan platter ($30). The snapper was huge ($30)! Enough to share with another person. Was on a huge tray of rice. The flavor was good but part of the fish was overcooked and dry and tasted a little fishy. The rice was excellent. I enjoyed the vegan platter, the cauliflower was standout. I also liked the falafel, which had a good consistency, flavor and wasn't too dry. Their garlic sauce is good too, and we ordered extra. Our friend's chicken and meat shawarma platters looked really good (~$17 each). They also got the mint lemonade ($7) which they say is really good. It looked super green and healthy, and like a slushie. They make the pita there and the pita was warm still and had a flavor! Didn't taste just bland and doughy. It tasted a bit buttery and kind of like pizza dough. Only $1 extra for pita and they gave us a bunch. This place definitely gives big portions for a good price. I would try some other food again!

The…read moreenvironment was cozy and right by the water, the view was absolutely spectacular and you could see NJ from where I was sitting. As soon as we walked in we were greeted by the manager of the establishment and he was very inviting (Peter). We started off with some drinks, I had the dirty martini, my aunt had a Lychee martini, and my uncle a red sangria. When we were seated we started with Thai Calamari, it was so tender and just the right amount of crisp with a flavorful sauce that wasn't overtly sweet. Next I had the beef shank with risotto and the Demi glaze to accompany this fall off the bone lamb was divine. The risotto was creamy and the perfect texture to accompany the meat. My aunt had the lobster stuffed crab with risotto (her favorite), my uncle had the chicken with mash, a classic. Overall the food, the service, the view, and the overall ambiance is definitely a winner. I would recommend this place as a good spot to come with friends, a date, or even a solo dine. Definitely recommend.

They also have valet which I would assume parks your car on the street as well. The place itself is cute, but it's small. The party I attended was in the interior of the location (there was another party happening outside). What I didn't like about the interior was that if anyone was dining in there for lunch/dinner, they had to walk through our party room in order to get to their seats. The staff also had to go through our room to get food/drinks to the other diners. There is also only one restroom for women, which there was always a line for. In regard to the food, the appetizers brought out were the crab and strawberry salad, the Asian ribs, and the octopus salad. This was all very good. For the entree I chose the rib eye. It was really good as well, I just wish there had been a little more seasoning, and also I requested medium but it came out more on the well side. For dessert we had the brownies with ice cream, and the Nutella wontons. This was delicious! Overall, I'd recommended this place for a small party or private dinner. But don't expect privacy.
