    Awesome place for breakfast lunch or dinner there's so many options on the menu. My husband loved the make your own Ramen station. It was awesome. I had a breakfast burrito with a fruit smoothie. The portions were large so I was able to take home my leftovers and have it later on at home. Husband had one of their specialty coffees. The service was amazing and the decor was adorable. Part of it was bright and vibrant with cozy corners to sit, and there was another area that was more aesthetically, pleasing and very calming with soft music playing in the background. I met the owners and they were extremely friendly. This is on a busy intersection, of Queen Anne Road and DeGraw Avenue in Teaneck, so it is extremely convenient. You can either park right on the street or use the free municipal lot across the street.

    Kudo Society is the kind of cafe everyone wants in their neighborhood. It's the perfect spot for lots of things - meeting up with a friend, getting work done, or grabbing a light bite or drink (or, as was my case, all three). This might sound strange since this is a cafe, but I tend to skip the drink menu and go straight to their sandwiches. In the past, I've had some minor qualms with bubble teas I've ordered, but the sandwiches are always a hit. With beautifully toasted bread, melty cheese, and fresh ingredients, they're like picture-perfect paninis. I've had both the caprese and the chicken sandwich and loved both of them. Over the last few months, they've added a few new things. Their ramen bar is the latest of these fun changes, with an entire wall full of instant noodles, cooking machines to easily make them, and even a few (paid) toppings to jazz up your meal. The pricing for some of these toppings seemed unreasonably high, but it's nice to know there are options. There's a tiny parking lot next to the cafe for pick up customers, and a larger (free) municipal lot right across the street.

    Very calm ambience, and vibing music. Food prices are particularly very expensive for a one person portion. I ordered a kimchi burrito from the breakfast category. Flavor was a little bland on the burrito. It cost around $19 with tax, which is New York pricing. This place is more affordable for coffee, tea, pastries and desserts with a good variety. Service is order by counter and free roam to sit wherever you want. The employees were great, chill and friendly vibes. This place is definitely spot on for studying, having a coffee with a friend, or a quick dessert grab and go. One of the unique things that stands out is the tea cabinet they have. And if you're a big tea connoisseur. I'd give this spot a 7.7/10

    Overall, I'm impressed with their boba tea but the visit wasn't as smooth as it should have been and we really needed to work for a decent experience. First, they remind me of another similar tea shop, although that other shop had a stronger focus on tea, that brings me lots of good memories. It's the kind of cozy, comfy place to lounge and hang, or study apparently, based on the number of people with their laptops open. We picked our tea leaves and brought them to the counter, and asked for a large bubble tea with half sweetness. Apparently it wasn't easy to get this across to the lady helping us, and at one point she charged us almost $30 and we avoided paying that by pointing her in the right direction. $15 was still not exactly cheap for two boba tea, but it's rare that we get to try a real tea shop with a fresh brew, so we went along. Once we picked up our orders though, two things stood out: there was a sizable tea bag in the cup which was so big I initially thought it was a mass of ice, and we got little more than one line of boba. Then, after the first couple of sips, we realised that the two teas tasted oddly similar. In fact, I couldn't tell them apart upon an impromptu blind taste test. We prioritised and decided to have the boba skimp addressed. Long story short, we ended up with extra boba without extra charge - kudos to Kudo. I've gotta say that their tea, whatever the actual identity, was one of the best we've had in recent memory, so we wouldn't hesitate to go back, perhaps to try their other location. I hope they keep improving. Well done.

    This is one of my favorite work/study spots! It's a cozy cafe that offers a huge selection of drinks and pastries, along with food options with a Korean influence. Their food menu includes breakfast and lunch/light dinner (rice bowls, wraps, sandwiches, quesadillas, salads, croissants). My recommendations: - the sea salt iced coffee w/ whipped cream - The perfect combo of salty and sweet. - kudossant - This is a croissant waffle. It's fluffy and chewy, almost like mochi. You can add toppings to it. I recommend honey and roasted almonds. -bulgogi wrap - I go crazy for bulgogi. It's marinated so well and the flavors just melt in your mouth! What I don't recommend : I personally think their bubble teas are average. I'm a bit of a boba snob and it tastes too artificial for me. I think they use a lot of powder :/ They also use a water base for their fruit flavors instead of a tea base, which I don't like. I know this cafe is known for their boba but it just doesn't compare to other spots like Coco, Gong Cha, KF Tea, etc. I tried the mango cheesecake bingsoo and I wasn't a fan... There was barely any mango flavor and the ice was chunky. It lacked that fluffy texture that makes a shaved ice dessert enjoyable. Service is good and friendly overall. They give you a beeper to let you know when your order is ready. There's a good amount of seating and outlets. I can stay here for hours because it's so comfy. Very limited parking but there is a free municipal lot across the street. Check this spot out if you're in the mood for coffee, Korean-inspired food, or a sweet treat!

    This is a cute quaint place on the corner of main street in Teaneck. Parking is available right across the street in a communal lot, and they have a small 3 spot parking lot for those picking up a quick snack. The service is your typical college student helping ends meet but are nice enough. I stopped by with a friend for late night boba, but I have truly found this place to be the worst boba spot in NJ. The tea quality is alright and flavored a bit artificially, but their boba was liek chewing on jelly coated pebbles. They barely had any boba compared to other boba shops in the drink, and it just felt like chewing tiny pieces of melted plastic instead of delicious soft boba. Really disappointed, but the place had a great vibe and tons of people in the cafe, so maybe give their desserts and coffee a try, but stay away from the boba tea!

    Ordered a tiger Boba. It was average. The service is hard to comment on. The person who took my order spoke so quickly that I had a hard time understanding him. He also seemed to expect me to understand the menu. This place stands out because it has a gorgeous atmosphere. The anime and seating are lovely. They have a tiny parking lot but plenty of parking is available on the street.

    Great service and vibes. I really enjoyed the chicken sandwich which comes with basil mayo. The basil mayo really enhanced the flavor. It basically pesto but mayo form. The pull pork was a bit on the messier side. I also got muti-grain black sesame boba was really too. Lastly, the bingsu was what I was really excited for. The portion was decently for its size .

When I asked how she was going to 'ice it', a look of disappointment washed over her face. I hadn't made it clear that I wanted cold coffee.

There's a lot going for this cafe. For one, the drinks are pretty nice. We had small misgivings with our drinks. My husband found his chai latte to be lukewarm, and I wished my strawberry matcha were just a tad sweeter. But I was impressed by the way they took the time to muddle the strawberry blend into the cup and properly whisk the matcha. Secondly, the inside is nothing like you'd expect from the outside. There's a small seating space on the ground floor, but once you go up the stairs in the back and go down a small hallway, the space suddenly opens up to a cavernous room. It was a little quirky, a total surprise, and added to the charm of this local cafe. We came for the drinks, but I was blown away by the empanadas. They're warmed up in a toaster upon ordering, creating a beautifully crunchy exterior that nicely contrasted the tender, aromatic ground beef inside. I went so bananas for this that I sent my husband back to the register for another one while we were still midway through the first. The ham and cheese empanada was a close second, with the same fresh crunch on the outside and an impressive cheese pull. Service is just lovely. If you order comestibles, they'll bring it to your table. We were torn between two, so much that we asked our barista which she preferred. She certainly didn't lead us astray with her recommendation, but minutes later, she brought us the other one for free. "Because you wanted to try it," she said with a smile. Your options for parking in this area is limited to whatever paid metered spots you can find. Depending on what day and time you're in the area, spots can be a little tougher to come by, but I've never had to search longer than five minutes.

However, this happened over a decade ago and unfortunately, from my first impression of this place, there is seriously some need for marketing and a change tailored to incentivizing a newer generation of people to discovering this place. I was dissatisfied with the lack of desire to accept any of the coupons or online promotions offered by sites such as groupon and restaurant.com... The owner claimed that she had not been involved with the marketing departments from these sites, however, that is the only reason I discovered this place in the first place, and she refused to honor the coupons that we had purchased with our own money through the site. I wound up purchasing one of her famous apple cakes, which, in my opinion was extremely overpriced for the size, but I was sympathetic to her story and the hard work that went behind the business enough to purchase it. The cake was delicious, but not something groundbreaking. I know this is a brutal review, but I think it's important that the business makes some attempt going forward to clarify marketing directives and try to appeal to a newer audience instead of living within the same time period and not changing with the times. The owner is living over and over again what happened over 10 years ago and I'm looking for more creativity and expansion and collaboration from third party affiliates otherwise I see the business struggling due to lack of outside promotion and internal customer satisfaction initiatives.
