This store sells antiques and vintage items, yarns and knitting supplies, and art. They also serve food. They have a lunch menu, plus pastries and baked goods, and 80-plus types of tea to choose from. (You can also buy tea leaves by the ounce so you can brew it at home.) I especially enjoyed the chocolate mint tea over ice. It has a very nice flavor and was served with a strawberry and the slight strawberry flavor really made it that much better. read more

I really hate to have to post a negative review, but I feel it is important to relate my experience with getting a clock repaired by "Back In Time Clock Repair", which is a service provided at Kathy's Kove & Kafe. The following review is my opinion of my experience in taking my grandmother's clock there to get the 8 day key winding mechanism repaired, which had stopped running. The clock had recently been hanging on my wall for several years, where it was regularly looked at and admired by both myself and my family members who remembered it hanging in my grandmother's home for over 50 years. The clock was taken to Kathy's Kove where it was looked over by Kathy and I was quoted a price of $125 for the repair. I was told that the clock would be given to another individual who does the actual repair work. I agreed, and the clock was left with Kathy. Several days later, I received a call saying that if I wanted the original mechanism repaired, it would now cost several hundreds of dollars, but that they could remove the mechanism and replace it with a quartz (battery) mechanism. I was not happy about this turn of events, but the clock has sentimental value to me, and I would like to keep it running so I agreed to have it switched over to a battery mechanism. A couple of weeks after that, I received a call that my clock was ready to be picked up. When I went to the shop, my clock was laid out on a table. The first thing I noticed was that a sizable piece of decorative molding circling the clock face was now missing. I immediately brought this to Kathy's attention, and she brushed off my concern by saying something to the effect, "Oh, it was probably like that when you brought it in, and you probably just didn't notice." OH, REALLY??? I had this clock hanging on my wall for several years, and looked at it all the time. I THINK I WOULD HAVE NOTICED A LARGE PIECE OF MISSING MOLDING BY NOW!!! I noticed that a photocopied picture had been taken of the damaged area, and stapled to the receipt I was handed when I picked up the clock. This photo was taken at some point AFTER I left the clock in their care. No photos were taken of the clock when I dropped it off, because there was no damage to note at that time! Of course, there is nothing I can do now except live with the damage, as these kinds of situations are their word against yours. They of course just claim the clock was damaged when it was entrusted to them, but I know it was not. And that is where things will unfortunately have to be left. But I can inform and warn others of my experience, and advise that if you have a clock that needs repair, especially if it is a treasured family piece that you have a sentimental attachment to, that you seek out another place to get it repaired. If you entrust a clock here, you do so at your own peril. I of course will not patronize these people again. read more

See all

If you like tea, this is the place for you. Also has lunch type meals and desserts. The place is different. Not standard sandwiches, but always good. Service can be slow if place is busy, because it is a one person show most days. A great place to take your wife or daughter. read more

This shop is a combination tearoom, antique store, and art gallery. (Their business card says that they also do clock repairs. And the owner mentioned that they do "Tea with the Other Side" -- an afternoon of tea and "messages from the other side" with a local psychic.) I wasn't able to try the tea or food, but the front of the store is set up with tables and chairs and is cute. They also sell homemade soap and local honey in the front. Way in back was an art gallery space displaying paintings and photos. I spent my time there checking out the antiques and collectibles, which were nicely displayed. There were jewelry, dolls, vintage ceramic planters, an Edison phonograph, vinyl records, framed pictures, clocks and watches, a collection of button-hooks, horn-handled utensils, caramel slag glass, Depression glass, vintage women's hats... a good variety of collectible and antique items. read more

I adore this little tea shop and store! Every time I visit New Jersey, I must stop here. The tea and food are excellent and it's so much fun to look around the store as well! Such a great stop for tea lovers and collectors of vintage items! read more

Adorable, eclectic and reasonably priced. Definitely a must visit shop! The owner was friendly and very helpful. In fact, once we realized she did not have the item we were looking for she gave us the name of a shop in Hackettstown where we might have better luck. That is the hometown service one looks for! We will definitely be back. read more

What a great place! Shop, eat and have the wonderful Kathy tell you all about her treasures!! Honest to goodness, Kathy's Kove and Kafe is such a great place to peruse all the wonderful antiques and knic knacs and wonderful vintage rugs, furniture, and vintage pillow cases even!
