I ordered a Chicken Caesar Wrap and waited 32minutes for it, and had to keep checking on it too. Good customer service would be the baristas coming to tell me sorry it is taking so long. Then midway i ordered another sandwich because they forgot to ring up this sandwich for the other person i came with. I asked them how long it would take and they said 5 minutes because the sandwich just had to be warmed. It took ten minutes and it was not warm. It was refrigerated temp cold. If the machines are not working they need to disclose that to the customer. Just be transparent so the customer can make an informed decision about what to order. We were the only two people there by the way. Because the second sandwich was cold, we didnt eat it and the to-go container was too small for it. I understand things happen and this is no reflection on the baristas that were working that day, however just be transparent with your customers. This is a good learning lesson is all. At the end they were kind about it but only after asking us if we liked everything. A bit of awareness and you should be able to tell its sub par service when a sandwich takes half hour at an empty cafe. The music i loved what they chose to play, however it was the same three songs on replay. I found that annoying, idk maybe thats just me. Also i was intrigued by the Avocado Toast, and its priced quite high, but its just avocado, feta, and some seasoning. Not worth the price. If there were some tomatoes and other things on it that would be a better menu option. Ok the good stuff... I had the lavender maple latte with cold foam and it was delicious, however $10. Thats expensive. The signature latte i tried also and it is good, very cardamom forward. The chicken caesar wrap was delicious and i got buffalo sauce on the side which was a good combo. I would for sure order this again. The space is nice and spacious lots of seating and comfy seating. I like there is a variety of seats, some round some square tables. And comfy lounge chairs by a fireplace. And a free water station is so nice. - After watching their opening journey online and their opening being delayed from last year to beginning of this year, im glad i got to finally try it! I dont live in this area but if i am around here again it's definitely worth to stop by there again.

She engaged in conversation with me, as I am not from Jersey and helped me with the menu clarity. There is no parking lot here, but alot of street parking. Inside is very clean with a gender neutral bathroom and some cute decor. The prices are decent. Dessert pieces are a little pricey, but very big. They do have soo many sweet treats. They also have specialty turkish sweets and others such as cheesecake, dubai chocolate, parfaits & other things that I do not even know the name of. I wish i could try them all without getting cavities haha. When I come back to Jersey I will definitely be coming back to this cafe as it is a hot commodity to me!

I wish I had tried this muchhhh sooner-- 1st time; Tried the Iced Caramel Voltage. It was sooo good, perfectly sweet and the quality of the coffee was well roasted. 2nd time; Tried the Iced Crème Brûlée Latte. Also very delicious, they mix vanilla powder into the milk and it's so flavorful! My friend tried the hot Biscoff Latte and also absolutely loved it-- Sooo many options on the menu and sweet treats to choose from (it can get overwhelming!) My only note is that they only had one person running the shop both times I visited and there was quite some traffic for one person to handle. The other time visiting, they were mostly out of select coffees, decaf, etc by Noon and limited w milk stock.

I've been wanting to try this coffee shop for a while (for the Matcha and the vibes, of course)…read more Drove down here last Thursday on an absolutely beautiful day. It's located in a strip mall with tons of parking spots. The barista was friendly and quickly took my order, but since he was working alone, it took quite a while to get my drink and bites. I wasn't in a rush, so I didn't mind waiting. We were also entertained by some outside salon drama between two ladies. Hopefully they were able to work things out. As a Matcha aficionado, I wanted to try their honey pistachio Matcha. I also ordered some mozzarella sticks and a Cortado for my husband. My drink was a tad too sweet (too much pistachio syrup), but I still liked it. Mozzarella sticks were fine. I paid about $21 for everything including tip. I like the be kind messages on the cups and the black aesthetic was pretty cool. I wouldn't mind returning to this coffee shop as it was a pleasant drive from my house. I'd like to try some other pastries and definitely will have another matcha, but will request light on the syrup!

He didn't greet us, showed no hospitality, and came across as very rude from the moment we walked in. I ordered the pancakes, and they were overcooked, hard, and honestly awful. My friend ordered an apple fritter, and it was very doughy and seemed undercooked in the middle. After taking a few bites, I asked for a refund because my pancakes were inedible. Instead of responding, the employee completely ignored me and continued doing what he was doing. There was no apology, no acknowledgment, and when we left, he didn't even say "have a nice day" or thank us for coming. The combination of poor food and terrible customer service made this a very disappointing visit. I won't be returning.

The service was good, there was only one worker and it look a bit for us to get our drinks because she was both making drinks and taking orders. What we ordered: - Hojicha tea - Mojito Lemonade We didn't love our drinks but we also didn't hate them. My Mojito Lemonade didn't have a lot flavors of any kind. Not in lemony, minty, sugary - which is all the things I think it when I think of a mojito or lemonade. My husband got the hojicha iced tea. We've only ever had other hojicha in a latte and asked if they made those but was told that they didn't. It was not bad by any means just different. I didn't know what to really expect but look forward to coming back to try other items but they do have a lot of offer.

It's completely okay for the pastries being outsourced but at the end of the day, it either tastes good or doesn't and unfortunately, for its a hidden cafe it was one disappointment after the next when it came to the food. Also, the cost of one shoprite apple turnovers from the cafe buys you the whole case at shoprite which is *actually* the same exact food. The breakfast sandwich was the most unflavorful and bland breakfast sandwich I've ever had, counting both outside and even at home. It was difficult to take a third or fourth bite of any of the food. The coffee also did not stand out to me in any way. Coming in very hungry, I was excited and while food typically tastes better when hungry, I just couldn't enjoy it. with this experience, I have to give the food a 2/5 If you're looking for a spot to hangout or get some work in, I'd say it's worth visiting. It is decorated nicely and has board games and a decent amount of seating and some mini tables. It looks like a feel good place people can stop by to sit and relax for a little bit. Service is fine, the owner is chill and nice to talk to.
