    Strawberry Banana Crepes
    Norberto F.

    This place is phenomenal. Serve breakfast and lunch all day. Food tastes delicious and fresh. Service is great and the staff is super professional - they pay attention to the details. Decor is nothing crazy but the place is super clean and well organized. They do have an outdoor place which will be great during the spring and summer. Keep up the great work. I will definitely come back.

    I went there this morning with a friend and it's was new to both of us. Had an absolutely wonderful experience. The service was amazing and the food even better. They have a lovely indoor and outdoor seating selection. We ate inside and the place was very cute and cozy. Perfect especially for a Saturday morning. Would absolutely come back and tells friends and family about this place! Thank you to all of the employees and especially our waiter Tim!

    Came here yesterday with my wife, because she recommended it, and it was an amazing decision. Food: my wife started with an iced green tea which was refreshing on an unexpected warm winter day and we proceeded to get a smoked turkey panini (wife) and the waiter offered a wonderful suggestion of chicken and black bean wrap which was right up my alley. Very good overall food and the smoked Gouda with my wrap really put it all together. Aesthetic: adorable little place with a diner, like bar and seating in the back. I also like the patio, which I assume would be better in the spring and summer. Service: our waiter, Max, was very nice, helpful, and discussed the things he recommended at my request which was honestly a great decision. Everything came out timely and perfect.

    I love this little cafe. Moving out of nutley and living in Newark it is great to eat out and this place is all what nutley is about. A small cafe that is very homie. Great selection of food and coffee. Everything was great. Cooked well and the prices where good. Staff was very friendly and made sure we where taken care of. This is my new go-to stop when looking to eat out locally. A true gem in nutley nj.

    I had an amazing time coming here for lunch with my coworkers. Upon entrance we were greeted and told to sit wherever we would like. From the moment we entered I already knew I would leave happy there. Halloween decor was very cute and I'm a big person on Halloween! We ordered the fried ravioli which was made to perfection. It was def tasty especially dipping it in marinara. I liked the crunchiness to it. Then I had the hot chocolate which was pretty much chocolate heaven! I was surprised the amount of hot chocolate I got , I'm so used to getting a small cup when ordering but this was def worth it. I personally had the Cuban which was enough for two people to share. It was very tasty however lacked some mustard which is fine I'm sure I could've asked for some but didn't because it tasted just as great without it . I had a side of fries which were nice and crispy not over salted at all. I tried a bite of my friend's Mexican panini which was also very tasty especially the kick of spiciness which made it even better. My friend had the hungry human which she said was good particularly loved the French toast . I can't wait to come back. Service was amazing, all the staff there were friendly and attentive.

    Avocado toast
    Shanice W.

    I called and asked if they had avocado toast. They said they did and gave me bread options. They also said it comes with eggs or without eggs. I feel as if in 2025 everyone should know that avocado toast consists of more than bread and avocado on top. All they gave me was toasted bread with avocado on top. No elevated flavors, no seasoning, no drizzle. Completely flavorless breakfast option. Messing up avocado toast means everything at this place is subpar unless you like plain old coffee. If you are the kind of girl who likes an oat milk latte, this is not the place for you. They should have specified it was just avocado on bread, yuck. Will not be going back. Paying for flavorless food when it's the same price of something of better quality is insane.

    I love coming here for brunch! They have an extensive menu, and you really can't go wrong with any choice. The eggs benedict is my go to, but we recently tried the cinnamon French toast and it was absolutely delicious! If you're a fan of cinnamon toast this is a must-try. Their specialty coffee flavors are also fantastic. Service is friendly, though it can slow down a bit during the brunch rush hour. This spot is great for both groups and couples, with plenty of indoor seating and a convenient parking lot in the back.

    Was only here once. Tried the spring chicken wrap with sweet potato fries. It was very good. Will go back and try different items.

    Traditional Eggs Benedict
    Irving R.

    Walked in this morning ready to feel guilty about eating until I had to unbutton my jeans and then go home and take an obligatory nap. I've been here a few times over the last few years but hadn't been in a while. I had the traditional eggs Benny, my wife had the hungry human and the kids had the chocolate chip pancakes and the Mac and cheese bites. The hungry human is an insane amount of food and I dreamt of that French toast during my nap. The eggs Benny were very good as well, the potatoes needed salt. Kids stuff, well i mean choco chip pancakes and Mac and cheese bite, you can't go wrong. My only complaint really is I'm not ready to sit table and table next to another family. Idk too soon. Luckily the family next to us left after only 20ish minutes. Also most people if not all didn't have masks not even the staff. A lil uncomfortable with that omicron waiting to keep my kids home from school and me having to stay home with them attending virtually. HORROR!!! Overall we had a good breakfast here with the fam and I'll be back. Cheers!

    Pulled Pork Sandwich
    Miriam I.

    This cafe is very cute inside. The food here was alright, not great but totally overpriced. It was diner quality but not diner prices. The pulled pork sandwich was the biggest letdown because it was so small.

    Tasty breakfast dishes with a great ambiance. Must try the croissant French toast and banana walnut pancakes.

    The staff and food is amazing! The portion size is enough for two meals. Staff is kind and attentive.

    Food seemed frozen made, not fresh. Don't be fooled into getting the chicken and waffles, it's chicken tenders, not fried chicken.

    Folks what's going on!!! Been a while since I left a review and here's my latest...... I was…read moreexcited about this place, big building, bright lights, great picture on the side of the building representing the brand! You have to pay for your parking which isn't an issue cheap and clean parking lot. We made a reservation on the phone for 9pm. As we walked in we were greeted by a very nice young lady. Looking around they have 3 floors, the first is a bar/lounge. The 2nd is where restrooms are and the 3rd is the rooftop! It was a beautiful night so we were in the rooftop, they had a dj ( he was playing all the latest and greatest music) we were quickly seated and asked about drinks and appetizers. So folks there was 2 hiccups during our Visit BUT I will say this ( the STAFF and Manager exceeded our expectations while dealing with one of the issues. So the first issue was I explained to the waiter I'm a Diabetic and I am Allergic to Seafood. I said " please Diet Coke and sparkling water" so I can drink it with my whiskey . The wife had several different tequilas . We waited for our appetizers, within 10 minutes my fish tacos came out I looked at the food and asked my " is this fish???" She said "yes" so I ate 1 it looked like a chicken strip but the 2 nd one was 2 piece and I asked my wife are you sure she said " yes" I took a bite and ate half of it. I looked down and seen something orange I broke open the food and I said " this is shrimp !!?!?!" I then called the waiter called the manager and sent my wife across the street to Walgreens for Benadryl. Folks I afraid for my life!!! It was my wife's birthday and here we are about to run to the hospital ‍! But the manager and waiter were excellent!!! Kept checking on me making sure I was ok and thankfully I was!!! Next we started eating our appetizers and it started raining so we waited around by the bar had some more drinks. They came to us and told us we can go downstairs to eat and enjoy the evening and we did!!!! The DJ started doing his thing and we started really enjoying ourselves! Folks I recommended this place without a doubt!!!! They are considerate, empathetic, understanding and best of all Concerned" about their customers health and wellbeing! Then to top it off they gave us a 50% discount!!!!!!!! We were so happy about this I left the waiter a $63 tip'!!!!

    I came here for Valentine's Day. It was packed at 9PM! I waited in the bar because their tables…read morewere booked. They had a DJ with great music, and lights. The only thing I didn't like is that we were told we could only order from their Valentine's Day menu and not the regular menu. Their special menu had limited food choices. Other than that everything was great! Their picante guac was amazing and fresh- also loved the guava marg!

    The absolute best diner I've been to…read more The place itself is stunning. It's newly renovated but still has a diner feel, just with some upgrades like a live DJ and a solarium-like addition. Parking is also highly convenient. The menu is extensive and I can't wait to go back to try everything they have. There are the classic breakfast items of course, but they also have some innovative dishes or familiar dishes with a spin. I ordered the jerk chicken pasta which was spicy, so flavorful and also a great portion size. Others in our party ordered pancakes, which were so fluffy, eggs, fried chicken, fried catfish and more. Everything was fried to perfection and the catfish tasted like it had literally just jumped out of the ocean. Our waiter was super nice and we had a big party so I'm sure it wasn't easy. My only suggestion is that they make their hot drinks hotter. Other than that, I'd seriously come back every weekend.

    READ FULL REVIEW!!!…read more March 2026: First time at this establishment was just ok. Hosted a very small get-together here (5 guest). Atmosphere was nice. Music was wayy too loud to hear the person you're sitting next to. Food was tasty and fresh. Coffee was good with great creamer selection (at the time). Our server was my least favorite part of this experience. He was over the top with his energy and upscale tactics (pushy with getting us to order extra drinks and appetizers despite declining). I was hosting this event and did not need him selling us after already being told "no, thank you" twice. It was awkward and ultimately changed the vibe. He hardly checked on us after that encounter and we constantly had to remind them about request that were never brought out to the table. Staff needs to be trained better. This was just an ok experience. April 2026 : What ultimately lead me to write this review was my 2nd experience at this diner. The server was a lot better than our first experience, but we did run into a few too many problems. First, we ordered coffee and are informed that per managements request, we can only have half-half or cream with our coffee. Previously they had French vanilla creamers and other flavored creamers but I guess management decided to save on the additional cost. This was a bummer especially realizing that they could easily afford creamers. This restaurant easily pulls at least $150,000 per week in revenue, so I didn't understand cheapening out like that. I still ordered the coffee. When it came to the table I added the cream into the cup only to find something floating in the coffee. I send it back and ask for a new cup, which the server politely provided. We order our meals and all goes well. Eventually two of the three meals come out and we wait for the final plate to come out. It's common courtesy to wait for everyone to have their meal before eating, so we wait. We wait about 6-7 minutes and the final plate comes out only for it to be cold. All of us ordered breakfast, so you can imagine trying to eat cold egg, potato, and sausage. We ask for the waiter, but before he could get to us the manager passes by and we let him know the issue. He takes the plate to the back and about two minutes later he comes back with the same exact plate. Before the manager arrived to take the plate away, I saw the guest split the egg half and add black pepper on everything so we knew it was the same plate and food she started eating off of that was reheated onto the kitchen grill where other food is being prepared for guest. The manager informs us that he had the chef heat the food up on the griddle and that it should be a perfect temperature. We refuse to accept the plate because it was reheated and not remade entirely. We were shocked that this was the solution even being offered. Reheating food on the griddle seemed unsafe (contamination risk, diseases, illness, etc) and offensive. No one pays these prices to have reheated breakfast served to them. I could've just made that at home for a fraction of the price. We politely refuse the reheated plate and he apologized and took the plate to the back. The server comes over to see what the issue is and we explain everything. He says that he will look into it and take that meal off the bill. Now I'm frustrated because one out of the three of us aren't eating anything and the experience was off. At this point, I'm not eating my meal but the 3rd guest is eating. So the guest who sent their plate back and myself are waiting for the 3rd guest to finish their pancakes. He ordered a stack of 4-5 chocolate chip pancakes and was happily eating away at layer by layer. Eventually he gets to the last 2 pancakes and before he adds syrup he notices what appeared to be an eyelash or short piece of hair imbedded in the pancake. Picture of the clearly imbedded hair included with this review. He immediately stopped eating and looks sick. He had already eaten 3-4 pancakes by then and the idea that he ate more of whatever that was felt unnerving, to say the least. We both start looking to see what he's looking at and long behold the hair was there. At this point we are extremely frustrated and completely over this experience. Management did not make this experience right even after addressing all of these issues both separately and together. I felt like my money was not valued and my business certainly wasn't. They did nothing to remedy these issues and I will NOT be going back to this establishment. This restaurant may look visually beautiful but the service is not. Staff needs more training, music needs to be turned down, chefs need to wear hairnets and everyone needs to follow safe food handling skills. You're putting your guest and your business at risk ignoring these issues. I really really wish I had a better experience.

The interior is dated, but that is their charm as they have both booths and tables and can accommodate at least 150 guests at any given time. The Stack is all about Pancakes and steak, but today I had the burger with fries, Cole slaw and a pickle along with an Iced Tea. The service is friendly, fast and professional. They do a great job of hiring great employees and they have an incredibly loyal following with plenty of competition such as The Colonial, Tick Tock and Arlington Diner. i like their extensive menu and will stop by more often when in New Jersey.

Breakfast food should be easy to make and a delight to eat, and I appreciate the consistency across both of our visits. A true pancake house, they let you substitute home fries for pancakes and let me tell you, that is the right choice! Fluffy, buttery goodness. Eggs, bacon, sausage, home fries... nothing fancy, but all very easy to mess up. We enjoyed every bite. We're also looking forward to coming back for dinner, it is, after all, also a steakhouse! Ample parking, festive for the season, cozy vibes, friendly staff, and good food. What more do you need? I also love their motto printed on the menus and staff shirts: "You deserve butter."
