    Last time I had a soup here. It was served cold as it was mostly sitting around most of the day. Never go back again.

    Our dinner and overall experience at Anthony David's was stellar!…read more We started with the Heirloom Baby Beets, which were served with citrus, pistachios, and a creme fraiche. It was a light, summery appetizer in which the earthiness of the beets was offset beautifully by the bright citrus notes. For the entrees, we got the Truffle Carbonara, Pistachio-Crusted Branzino, and the Hanger Steak. All were exceptionally good! My steak was cooked perfectly to medium-rare, was well-seasoned, and was taken up an extra notch by the delicious peppercorn sauce. The branzino was also a big hit with both people who ordered it. They praised the dish at length, and one person kept going back for more bites even after announcing she was stuffed! Our server was vivacious and happily chatted with us about the many menu options, giving us tips about the most popular dishes not just among customers, but the staff as well. She was great! I encourage you to treat yourself to dinner here. It was a lovely meal!

The waitress was nice and attentive, we sat outside so I don't know how the inside looks. The Lychee martini is a must! So delicious definitely get one if you visit. Overall food is good and would def recommend.

It's surprisingly plain and tends to be sweet and carb-heavy. In fact, it is considered the least important meal of the day. While in some countries like the US, breakfast contains savory elements--cheese, cold meats, eggs, or bacon. Located on a busy Washington Street in the heart of Hoboken, my close friend's daughter and I decided on this European-inspired establishment for brunch. The reservation was easily made via OpenTable. Upon arrival at La Bouche Cafe as first-timers, we were greeted by the staff and got a table evoking a cozy and inviting vibe with light and airy seating. Outdoor dining is also available, weather permitting. Their menu features French and Mediterranean cuisine for breakfast, lunch, and brunch. We decided on the Avocado Toast with Feta Cheese and French Toast with Fried Chicken. To wash them down, we ordered each a latte. Not sure if we just didn't order the right selections. Sadly, the food wasn't as tasty as we expected. The French Toast wasn't cooked thoroughly, and the Avocado Toast was not touched. The coffee was weak. The price was comparable to the area. The server was friendly and accommodating. Nothing like the true French places we've encountered.

I told him that I meant to order a large one, and he didn't hesitate to insist on remaking me a large one. I told him that it was alright if I was charged for a small, but he wouldn't hear it. The cappuccino was delicious, and he was incredibly kind and generous. The interior and exterior are both adorable, themed with pink and beautiful china. Highly recommend!

    Looking for a coffee spot around Hoboken, this place popped up on my Yelp app. It was a yes for me…read moreimmediately when I saw the gorgeous latte artwork. We were greeted warmly by whom I assume is the owner. Since I love pistachio, it was a no brainer for me. As one of my companions is trying to decide, I mumbled under my breath..."the Rose latte is really beautiful." He sighs and says to the barista...okay, I'll have the Rose latte, I'll let her have her picture. I tell the barista that I want it in one of those pretty cup and saucers. I was giddy as a little girl when I got the lattes. Soooo eye-pleasingly beautiful. Most of the Rose latte pics on Yelp has the leaf in white, mine was PINK. I am not a fan of any drinks that taste like a rose. Curious I did take a sip and I was wowed. The rose flavor was very subtle in a wonderful way with the perfect balance of the coffee. I loved my pistachio but decided to switch the rose latte with my companion. It was the best rose lattes I have ever had. They also have homemade treats. Their pistachio baklava is PERFECTION, not too overly sweet. I could eat a dozen of these in one sitting. Limited indoor seating with only 2 tables outside.
