The older lady at the front needs an attitude check…read more I got 9 items that I was splitting between myself and another family. While I was waiting I noticed they had cardboard boxes sitting out. After she handed me my order I asked if I could have one so the baked goods would be more presentable than just a paper bag when I gave them away. She immediately gave me the stankiest face. I even clarified that I would put everything in the box because I thought maybe she assumed I expected her to repack everything. But she still looked visibly annoyed while handing me the box. Do the boxes cost extra? Are they only for cakes or certain items? I'll never know cause she did not say one word she just looked at me dirty. Like dont make a face if you cant make a case. I was appalled, left absolutely speechless because I have never experienced that in my life. And if she so kindly told me the boxes cost extra, I would've gladly paid. If they were reserved for specific items, I would've said okay thats fine can i get another bag. That said, their baked goods are pretty good. I don't live nearby, so I only stop in a couple of times a year. I love the Gouda cheese bread but I don't think it's as good as it was a few years ago. They used to top it with chunks of Gouda, but now it's all melted into the bread. Maybe they changed it to use less cheese or maybe it's easier to make this way but I definitely prefer the old version. Great baked goods. Insane customer service.

I visited Paper Street Coffee with my family for some post-lunch drinks. The place is small, but…read moreit's got some seating. I ordered a black coffee while my brother opted for cold brew and my sister got a Milspresso. My black coffee was good. Not bad, but nothing that stood out to me either. It was a solid cup. I'd get it again. I tasted my brother's cold brew and it was not so good. Not terrible, but not great either. I feel like it lacked body and was just kind of watery. I'm not really too big on cold brew but I wasn't really a fan. My brother almost exclusively drinks cold brew and he said it was just alright. I didn't really like my sister's Milspresso either. I believe it was supposed to have some Milo mixed with espresso so I was expecting it to be somewhat chocolate-y and sweet but I didn't really get that. It wasn't a terrible drink but I wouldn't get it again. Maybe we didn't get the right things. Taste is subjective after all. I like the look of the place and some of their other drinks sounded nice. The pastries looked pretty good too, I'd come back to try some.

There's wifi, outlets, and plenty of comfortable indoor and outdoor seating. Lots of plants and natural lighting, creating a cozy and calm aura. I was able to stay here for a few hours doing work and sipping on my drinks. In addition to drinks, they also sell pastries and sandwiches. It was my first time here and the employee was very helpful and welcoming. I ordered: Matcha Cucumber ($7) - I'm a matcha lover and this drink did it justice. It reminds me of a mojito with a slightly earthy aftertaste. Good choice for those who want something refreshing that isn't sweet. Cold Brew ($5) - An okay drink, it wasn't the best I've had. It wasn't as smooth and sweet. I really wish they could stay open for a bit later, maybe until 5 or 6 pm. Next time I'll try their food and more of their matcha drinks!

Came into Patisserie for dessert and enjoyed every moment…read more The café is conveniently located within a strip mall and has plenty of parking. There are tables available, in order to enjoy your purchase, and I appreciated how the staff brought our order to our table. I started with a Cappuccino and it was divinely crafted. It was served at the perfect temperature and I enjoyed every drop. My dessert was the Fondant au Chocolat (gluten free). I thought it would be served with no accompaniments, but I was pleasantly surprised. It came with sliced strawberries and a sweet drizzling sauce that made the chocolate mouth-watering. ORDER IT! This Patisserie will definitely be revisited and enjoy all of their sweetness.

My wife and I were looking for coffee on a Sunday afternoon. Lots of places close a bit early or…read moredon't open on Sundays at all. Tasting Notes stays open until later than most. I had been to this shop before for a prior owner. This current version still has chicken but has added coffee. Shop was very clean and nice. My wife ordered a cold brew and got me an Americano. I stayed outside at the nice seating with our dog. Americano was smooth and tasty, my wife enjoyed the cold brew. Will certainly give it another try!

The matcha craze is definitely real, and after seeing more spots pop up on TikTok, I decided to…read morecheck out Machaspresso. I'm very happy I did because this was a great find. The matcha was phenomenal. The flavor was balanced perfectly, not too bitter and not overly sweet, which can be hard to get right. I also liked the experience of ordering through the self-service kiosk and then being able to watch the team prepare your drink right in front of you. The space is on the smaller side, with limited seating and no public restroom, so it feels more like a grab-and-go spot than somewhere to hang out for a long time. That said, the quality of the matcha makes it worth the visit. It was also funny seeing another guest order four different matcha flavors for a video, which was probably TikTok doing its thing again. Clearly, this place is getting attention for a reason. I'll definitely be back to try more flavors.

I used to come to the previous place just for cappuccinos, but this was my first time trying Café WKND. My husband and I stopped by late Saturday morning, and it was packed!

We ordered pancakes, cappuccinos, and a few sides, and everything was absolutely delicious. The pancakes look small but are very filling. We even took leftovers home, and our son devoured them.

Give Cafe Trois a try next time you're in the area!

I expected a luscious spread of dulce de leche, which is a caramelized milk jam. Instead, they used CONDENSED MILK. Those two are NOT the same thing. I saw another review mentioning this issue before I came... Siiiigh @ God, is this what happens when I ignore my intuition and logic?! Lollllllll. While the crepe itself was moist and soft, it was ruined by the splashes of condensed milk. +1 for using fresh strawberries. Also... service was... awkward? Nice people, but awkward. It was like they were uncomfortable, but forcing small smiles through the interaction? They're a cafe so they sell all types of coffee, frappuccinos, smoothies, and the like. Wifi and small seating area available. Not likely I'll return as there's too many good cafes and crepe businesses in Bergen County.
