    Mocha latte
    Sne G.

    Amazing place, beautifully done interiors and great vibe to chill and sip a cup of coffee. We ordered a mocha latte , chocolate tart, blueberry yogurt cake, Afagato and let me tell you. It did not disappoint. I requested for my drink to be extra hot, and it they delivered. I'd definitely be coming back , and see being a regular here. Gem of a coffee place in livingston.

    Renovation is still happening at the coffee shop but there are plenty of tables there to relax and enjoy your coffee! There's WiFi, so bring your laptop and work there! Service was wonderful. The barista was very attentive and helpful. I ordered a matcha latte and almond croissant. They were both super good. Croissant was fresh and went great with my latte! Will def go back to try other items on menu. Tip: They don't accept cash. And download app to receive 20% off first order.

    The parking lot is a bit much to deal with (very small considering the huge amount of seating they have inside) and they didn't have any gluten free bakery items available when we went but my matcha latte was well mixed by hand with a solid quality matcha and the perfect amount of sweetener. They did mention they are getting blueberry GF muffins but I'd prefer a chocolate one so will come back when they do.

    Flat white in a latte mug

    Lots of seating and friendly service. We ordered a flat white and a latte along with two pastries. The pastries are from Balthazar so they're always good. The drinks were just okay. They don't have flat white cups so they just take a 12oz latte mug and fill it appropriately. Both drinks weren't very creamy, despite the foaming.

    What a beautiful place to enjoy a cup of coffee and to indulge in baked goods from Balthazar! We had their Americano and iced mocha latte ( half decaf, almond milk). Americano was rich, mocha latte had a good ratio of coffee:milk and just a hint of cocoa. Even at half decaf, it still packed a punch of caffeine. We also had their egg and pepperoni sandwich which was warm wrapped in foil. Their yogurt from their refrigerated section was good. For pastries, i had their cheese and pepper danish for something savory. Pretty flaky and good! And of course it should be because it's from Balthazar. Interior is beautiful wood, brass, brick and seating area is enormous. Service was friendly, and our drinks were served in cups and glasses for dine-in. My pastry was not reheated and no offer to warm it up, but it would've been a nice touch esp for dine-in. Cc, Apple Pay, cash, private lot on the side. Would recommend!

    Very beautiful cafe. Great ambiance to work or study in. They also have great drinks. We tried a latte and a matcha and the matcha was very legit. They also have nice looking pastries and sandwiches but I didn't get to try any that day.

    So happy to make this update - seems like the owner or manager was here today training lots of new staff. I think they were understaffed during my previous visit. Will be continuing to come here!

Plus add LavAzza Coffee to the mix and We'll "officially" be friends for life, Lol. Seriously though Cafe Z is one of the Coolest Brunch Spots around. Everything off this Italian Inspired Menu looks interesting and incredibly delicious. Example: for Breakfast I've tried their "Muffin" Sandwich which comes loaded with Scrambled Eggs, Sausage, Pepper Jack Cheese, Caramelized Onions, and Chipotle Aioli on a massive Toasted English Muffin and It doesn't get any better than that = Out'Freakin'Standing !! Baked Goods here too are also worth checking out and obviously go hand in hand with any of their delicious house made Beverages. It is "Summertime Yummertime" so I do enjoy Shaking Hands with an Iced Coffee now and then while I'm hanging out so why not make it LavAzza for the WiN??  Rhetorical of course. I usually don't offer an opinion on "ambiance" or "atmosphere" most of the time as I'm really just focused on the final product and how I can shove it in My Face, but since we're friends I can honestly say that this place does have a really cool vibe to it. Every picture tells a story don't it? And they do have alot to look at up in here.

I ordered a grilled cheese & fries for my son. The fries were pretty good but for 9 dollars, I felt like I could've made the grilled cheese easily myself at home. It tasted fine, but wasn't anything special. For myself, I was hoping to try the Enzo smash but was informed they didn't have it. So I resorted to something safe and ordered the vodka parm sandwich. I specified at least twice I wanted eggplant but out came chicken. I should've said something but I was ok with chicken too so was willing to try it out. It was crispy and well-fried, but a little lacking on the sauce and the chicken was a tad dry. Overall, I really wanted to like the place. It's not bad by any means but just didn't wow me enough to want to come back again. I did like the pretty artwork and decorations on the walls though.

Anyway, since then I've been back 3 more times; once for breakfast and twice for brunch. And while I'm confessing, the two times for lunch were on subsequent days. Yeah, they're that good. Actually, their chicken salad on a croissant is the best I've ever had and in my advanced years I've had a crapload of chicken salad.

Then there's a seating area when you can eat, served by a friendly attentive staff and an adjacent boutique area where you can purchase housewares, clothing and other cool stuff. I'm not in Maplewood all that often, generally when I'm shopping at the equally awesome City Workshop but when I do, I always make sure to hit up Perch. You should too. 1/2 star deduction because they don't offer fake sugar, just that Stevia crap which is gross.

My son and I went out for breakfast over the weekend at Paris Baguette in Livingston, New Jersey. We walked into the pastry shop and were surprised by a large assortment of pastries under glass both sweet and savory. I usually like to constrain myself to one pastry and a cup of coffee but not this time. I ordered the "Very Berry Pastry $4.09, Raspberry Almond Croissant $5.49 and a Ganache Chocolate Bombolon $3.59". Every thing is made fresh in the bakery while the bakers are visible behind a glass wall. All the items I purchased were fresh and delicious. My son ordered the Pain Suisse $4.25 and we both had a cup of the LavAzza coffee $7.49 per/cup. There are three sizes to choose from. This is a sit and sip place or a grab n go. This was a Saturday morning so we sipped and sat. I don't have many Saturdays to sip and sit so it was extra special. If you can use the free WiFi to do work, the password is ilovecake.

This is a unique 5 star restaurant that is worthy of a visit by Guy Fieri if he is still doing road trips for "Diners , Drive Ins and Dives". All I can say is you have to try them. It's worth the drive! They put a different spin on everything they serve. When you walk in, you may think it's a local deli that you go for a take out breakfast or lunch. Then you see the tables and all the customers sitting there. They have everything you could want from coffee, teas, juices, smoothies, sandwiches paninis, poke bowls, pancakes, waffles, breakfast and lunch dishes. You can tell that they have a ton of regular customers, that are very loyal. They also do catering, and even though I live in Brooklyn, they are willing to deliver to me. Today I met some amazing people at the restaurant. Congratulations to Carlos who is a new manager. He is a US Army Veteran who saw combat action and I hope everyone will thank him for his service when they visit. Carlos really cares about his customers. When we entered we were greeted, he started up a conversation and checked in on us throughout our meal. Victor was our server and he made great recommendations. He was also very friendly, we also met Melvin who was a runner and made sure the food came out promptly with all the accoutrements. Today we started with the blueberry pancakes. You get two large pancakes that are as big as the dish. They had blueberries inside and outside, whipped cream and maple syrup. Probably the best I've ever had! I had the apple, lemon, ginger juice which hit the spot. We also had the tuna poke bowl and the shrimp fajita bowl. The ingredients and fish were fresh and plentiful. I was stuffed by the time we left. I would highly recommend Seymour's Cafe if you want to experience phenomenal food and customer service.
