    dessert case
    Dee T.

    What a gem of a cafe. I was recommended by a friend and now I will recommend it to all of you. First, the place is cozy but vibrant and welcoming. The artwork, the space and the layout is definitely picture worthy. The drinks and the desserts are so delicious . I ordered the guava croissant and the ice matcha latte and they made a perfect combo. The croissant was the perfect level of sweet and the matcha was smooth and creamy . The staff were welcoming and friendly and were smiling as soon as we walked in. If you're a jersey city native like myself I suggest you take a day trip and have a nice brunch with your friends

    Empanadas
    Cristina C.

    Came here with my family and this was such a cute and tidy cafe. This cafe had a very homey feel to it and the workers were so welcoming. We had the BLT toast, curried chicken toast, empanadas (argentine beef, chicken chipotle and ham&cheese), drinks and ice cream. Everything was delicious but the curried chicken toast and argentine beef empanada were the highlight of our meal. We will definitely be coming back to try the other items on the menu!

    Went after gym. Food is definitely on a higher price point than your usual coffee and pastry place yet it offers good breakfast options with toasts/sandwiches, a few soup options and significant amount of pastries. Staffs were really nice and transparent enough to offer suggestions they fancy. Went a couple times already. Although, they could definitely use some deep cleaning in the dining area, yet food was swiftly served with a smile.

    You know their bread is freshly baked when one day the toast size is huge and the other day you are left still hungry Absolutely no shade though, I really appreciate the thought and effort they put into their menu. The toasts are delicious and the price reasonable. The shop itself is a cute, half-underground space that is well lit and has plenty of seating and charging outlets. It is great for hanging out, studying, or even board games (I have seen quite a few groups play). The staff are always friendly and accommodating, and this place has become a weekly staple for me.

    Loved this place!! The cutest little cafe with plenty of seating and study space and the nicest staff. The drinks were delicious and the croissant was so fresh. I literally smelt it and asked for whatever had just come out of the oven. They have a ton of menu items that I need to come back and try.

    OMG! I am hyper with the Nutella latte! Even the matcha latte is really good! And I'm a matcha snob! Tasty chicken chipotle empanada and ham & cheese empanada was a pleasant morning surprise! And the lady who served us was so friendly! Loved that there Spanish sounded like Italian to me...took me a while. Darn, and I thought I understood Italian? Also cute, bright place with art on walls!

    Mushroom and cheese empanada. Great but needs to be cooked more.

    love this little spot, cant wait to come back. just keep in mind, prices are bit steep. however, everything tastes great. the empandas are so damn good! i love the flavor of the spinach and prevolone cheese. my only complaint was, cook the shell more! it felt undercooked! the house made crossaints are to die for. perfect. buttery. crunchy! get the egg and cheese on it too! probbaly the most expensive egg n cheese uve ever gotten, but that crossiant is worth it. the nutella coffee...was...nice! oh the hint of nutella in the back of my throat was delish! friendly staff, that serves you quick! cute decor, nice tables, and perfect natural light for them yelp photos =)

    Nutella croissant, almond croissant, prosciutto and tomato croissant

    We were so happy to stumble upon this little corner cafe on our way to journal square. It has such a cozy, unique vibe, and the staff is more than just welcoming. They were so sweet and helpful, and gave wonderful recommendations for my little sisters. We ended up getting the prosciutto, tomato and mozzarella croissant, an almond croissant, and a Nutella one and they were divine! The coffee is very good quality, and even their iced mocha was delicious! They have a bice working area, and I saw some people typing away on their keyboards. They even have a print station if that's something you need. I think this would be a great place to come and study and get work done as a student. They also feature local artists works and the barista was telling us they have an exhibit coming up. Overall it was such a wonderful experience.

The ambience is fantastic, the service is great, and the food is eclectic and delicious.

We tried the Grilled Shrimp with Thai-inspired salad, the Croissant French Toast, and the Semolina Zucchini Fries. Each dish felt fresh, inventive, and flavorful. For drinks, we went with the non-alcoholic Rose and Peach Please, both of which were refreshing. I also had a cappuccino afterward--while it didn't come with latte art, the taste and strength of the coffee were spot on. On our return visit, we tried the chicken sandiwch, and the pomegranate hummus. The chicken was juicy and the hummus was delcious. Service was attentive throughout, with the staff checking in just enough to make us feel well taken care of. Overall, The Kitchen Step is an excellent find that I'd highly recommend.

We finally had the opportunity to do so on a quiet Easter Sunday. First, the interior looks pretty amazing. A lot of history behind all the architecture and they did a good job preserving it. Because it was raining and chilly, we couldn't see the rooftop, but I can see the appeal. To start, we got an assortment of small muffins for the table. That was a nice touch. They were good too. For brunch, we each ordered omelettes. I got the Jalapeño & Cheddar while my fiancée got the mushroom and spinach omelette. We ended up complementing the items quite well. I did end up enjoying her omelette well. The vegetables were definitely fresh and cooked quite well. My omelette was nice and cheesy, how I like it. The jalapeños didn't have a crazy kick, but enough to satisfy. The potatoes were good too. There's no real coffee menu here (which is a slight miss), but I did enjoy the freshly squeezed orange juice as a nice change. I will be back.

I just tell myself that my dewy glass skin reminds him of frying oil. Anyway, the last time we got together, he picked Skinner's Loft for brunch. I was ready to write the place off, but I was pleasantly surprised by how good everything was. Skinner's isn't going to win World's Best anything, but it's a solid neighborhood spot with big portions for decent prices. The Buttermilk Pancakes were large, fluffy and satisfying. My Croque Monsieur was perfectly crispy and loaded with delicious melted bechamel, gruyere and prosciutto. One of the tastiest Croque Monsieurs I've had, including the ones I enjoyed living in France, and certainly bigger than its Manhattan counterparts. The Crispy Shrimp & Bacon Sandwich was also a pleasant taste bomb of basil, dill & cucumber remoulade, tomatoes, and, of course, bacon. Bottom line: Skinner's offers a brunch that's tastier and more affordable than many NYC joints. When you're hungover on a Sat morning, this might be the best place for you.

I had the Mini-Quibe de Carne e Queijo (Beef Kibbeh) for an appetizer. As one person, I probably could have gotten something smaller than this shareable, but I have zero regrets and I would do it again in a heartbeat. How the Chef managed to get the spice to meat tenderness ratio so perfectly, I'll never know but will always be grateful for. I tried the Cajá juice and loved it! Be forewarned, it is not sweet but the fruit is distinctly tart and refreshing. My (huge) entree, the Estrogonofe (Chicken Stroganoff), was recommended to me by my server, who I trust with all food recommendations now because WOW. And finally, I chose Brigadeiro as the sweet treat to cap off my meal. Bite-sized, creamy, decadent, and strongly cacao...no notes.
