The smell of freshly…read moremade waffle cones fills the air, and the display of chocolates, fudge, and other sweet treats is hard to resist. The line was fairly long when I visited, but it moved quickly thanks to the efficient staff. This time I tried the Georgia Peach ice cream. It was good and definitely hit the spot, though I have to admit I left thinking that Tillamook's Sweet Cream Peach back home is still my favorite peach ice cream. Even so, Kilwins delivers exactly what you'd hope for: quality ice cream, a great atmosphere, and plenty of tempting treats beyond just the frozen desserts. Overall, it was a great experience, and I'll definitely be back to try more flavors.

While the dessert was good, the staff is not aware of allergens in desserts. All three people at…read morethe front, although they were very nice, assured me there were no nuts in "Spring" dessert. They said there could be cross contamination. Cross contamination is no issue for me, as I informed them, but I need to know if there are nuts actually inside as an ingredient. One person said only one item on their dessert menu contained nuts, and when I mentioned that many contained hazelnut they seemed surprised to learn that hazelnut is in fact a tree nut. Lo and behold, the chocolate dacquoise inside the Spring dessert contained nuts and I got an anaphylactic reaction as a result and needed to take my EpiPen. The bite I had was very yummy but almost took me out so I'll still keep two stars for the baking itself. However, staff NEEDS to know what contains very common and deadly allergens.

There's plenty of seating indoors and out, complete with a lounge couch to been seen and to see.

If they get even a little busy though with drink orders, you'll notice their slowness. For the food, we enjoyed a small mousse hazelnut cake ($7, delicate but small) and brownie ($5). There are a few small tables and chairs and it seems like a place where it would be ok to hang out for a nice long while. There's not a whole lot on the menu, and don't have a strong impulse to return any time soon! Additional fee for credit cards which I didn't see displayed. There are a few other locations including one in upper saddle river, and its high prices were a turnoff.

I tried other samples, which were properly refrigerated and had a solid consistency, but the caramel cake was leaning more toward lukewarm. Also, there's an artificial taste (to be expected)--I didn't mind this so much, but there was a point before eating all the ice cream that I felt I had enough. Overall I'd still recommend this place. This review is specifically for this one encounter, just in case anyone would be put off by it.

I tried the salted maple latte, which was just alright, but the real star of the show was the ham and cheese croissant! The salty ham and cheese paired perfectly with the flaky, buttery croissant. It's easy to see why they sell out so quickly. If you're craving a sweet treat--or just want to try their baked goods--make sure to come early! You can truly tell that everything is baked with passion and lots of love. Definitely worth the visit!

I had a reservation and visited on June 13th with a friend. From the moment we walked in, we felt…read moreunwelcome. The staff looked us up and down and immediately told us there was a problem because the kitchen was not working and no food could be prepared. We noticed that coffee and pastries were still being served, so we asked if we could at least order those. The answer was yes, but no one offered to seat us or explain the situation further. We ordered coffee and a spinach feta pastry, which was served cold and tasted stale. Considering we were charged $12 per pastry, the quality was extremely disappointing. The most frustrating part was what happened next. About 10 minutes after we sat outside, another family was seated nearby and was served food from the kitchen without any issue. If the kitchen had become operational again, no one informed us or asked whether we would like to order anything else. Instead, staff repeatedly came to our table with the bill, even bringing the wrong bill the first time, making us feel rushed and unwelcome. The café was nearly empty, yet we received some of the poorest service I've experienced in New York or New Jersey. I still don't understand why we were treated differently, but the combination of poor communication, unfriendly service, and overpriced food made for a very disappointing experience. Unfortunately, I would not return and would not recommend this café to others.

The Ridgewood Station Cafe is strategically located within the heart of the business district and…read moreeven has a corner location. The tables are comfortably separated and the decor is appealing. I was hoping for a memorable visit, but it came up short. My Spanish Latte did not have any remnants of condensed milk and the Dirty Chai was on the luke warm side. Aside from waiting one+ hour for the food to be presented, I did not expect the following: The Western Omelet was not flavorful, the ingredients were sparse, and it had a hardened outter coating. The Ridgewood Pancakes were very small, but the amount of fruit was appreciated, and the cheeseburger's side salad did not come with any dressing. The side of Truffle Fries were throughly enjoyed, each fry was pleasantly oily, had a pleasant crunch, and were well seasoned. I will definitely revisit Ridgewood Station Cafe and I'm certain that they will come through with flying colors.

Soft serve ice cream at its verrry, verrry delicious best…read more Apparently, Surreal Creamery has multiple locations throughout the country, but it had a very local feel to it when we stopped by the Ridgewood location on a cool, random Friday afternoon. If I hadn't looked them up, I would have never guessed that they were a chain. As expected, we were the only ice cream craving knuckleheads walking in on a 50 degree weekday, but on the plus side we had this cozy ice cream shop all...to...ourselves! We were greeted by an employee who walked out from the back and she presented us with the menu on an iPad since the TV screens above the counter were not operating. To sum up their menu - they specialize in mostly Asian-inspired soft serve ice cream creations that are instagram-worthy. Sure, you'll probably want to take 47 pictures of whatever you order, but the pictures really don't do the delicious ice cream justice. We ended up ordering one of their "Floteas", which is basically a bubble tea topped with a beautiful tower of soft serve ice cream. Specifically, we got the Taro Bubble Tea & Matcha/Taro Swirled Ice Cream, but there were multiple other flavors we EASILY could have been swayed towards. Not knowing just how gargantuan the Flotea would be, we decided to also order the Nom Nom Cookie Signature Mason Jar, which consist of Monster Cookie Ice Cream, Chocolate Crunch, Chocolate Syrup, Cookie Crisp, Marshmallows, and Oreos. Once again, another monstrosity of an ice cream order that could be shared by 2-3 ice cream lovers. Honestly, considering that the prices were around $10-$11 for just about everything on the menu, we should have knew that we were about to find out where every penny of that money went to. Let's just say, we loved, I mean, loveeeeed the ice cream. I especially was infatuated with our Flotea, mainly because I have had a major lifetime crush (if I can describe it that way) on soft serve ice cream and they made it to perfection here. Of course, it didn't hurt that the ice cream happened to be a matcha/taro swirl, which are 2 of my all-time favorite flavors. In addition, they also had Earl Grey Vanilla, Vietnamese Iced Coffee and a combo of both - did anyone say heaven? As for the Nom Nom Cookie jar, excellent. Unfortunately, we were stuffed to the gills from our lunch prior to coming here and, on top of it all, it was a frigid fall day, but we still thoroughly enjoyed the ice cream here and you can bet that we'll be back one day when we can actually feel our fingers after holding the ice cream for more than 10 seconds.

THE FOOD ----------------…read more+ Italian Omelette - Good portion omelette and well-cooked with portobello mushrooms, sausage, peppers and onions spread throughout. Some home fries were on the burnt side though, which made half of the home fries enjoyable and the other half not so much. + Italian Spaghetti with Meat Sauce - Relatively simple dish shared by our kids, but there was lots of tasty meat sauce on top and all around on the spaghetti. = Crab Cake Benedict - Was OK. Had good flavor, but one egg was runny and one was not. Typically, I would pop the eggs for the yolk to run out on the home fries, but one egg was well done. Like the Italian Omelette, some of the home fries were on the burnt side, so had to navigate through the good and not so good pieces. THE SERVICE ------------------- + Were greeted at the entrance by a nice gentlemen who took down our name and informed us of the wait. = Waiter was friendly, but we didn't see him much for most of our meal, other than when the food came and when he handed us the bill. He never checked in on us during our meal. + Food came out very fast, which is typically the case for diners. THE SURROUNDINGS ------------------------------- + Typical diner layout with lots of booths and tables inside. = Decor inside was nothing astonishing, but it was decent for a diner and, like I said earlier, typical. = Tight private parking lot in the back. It's one way traffic, so it can get tricky if crowded, which was the case on the Sunday we were here. RANDOM OBSERVATIONS -------------------------------------- = Even though it was very busy on a random August Sunday morning, it was only a 10 minute wait at 11:45, so it wasn't bad at all.
