10 out of 10!! My sister and I were looking for a brunch spot in Rockland. Though we waited a hr,…read morebut it was all worth it! We devoured our food as it was so good! Feels like light on the stomach, being gluten free was also a plus!!! I had the famous Ricotta and Berry toast and my sister had the Grilled shrimp bowl we also ordered Buffalo Parm garlic wings which was to die for!! Their lattes are also amazing and flavorful. Our server, Maggie was very attentive. She sees to it that we get what we need. She makes us feel at home. Wish this place was bigger because a lot of people are willing to wait hours in line! We will definitely be back to try other food menu they have!!

My wife had tried Rail Trail Cafe before and we had been meaning to get back for a while. It's a…read morepopular place, so we ran into some crowds a couple of times. Today we lucked into a table for a late Valentine's Day lunch! Definitely a cute and modern cafe with comfortable seating. Waitress and the rest of the staff were excellent. They had a nice selection of specials on top of a solid menu. We started with the Garlic Parmesan wings, they were tremendous! They were crisp and juicy and loaded up with delicious toppings! My wife enjoyed an Asian noodle salad. I loved the poached egg dish that featured Hollandaise, smoked salmon, and was served on a Portuguese muffin. Really nicely prepared! Unsweetened tea was also good. We look forward to returning!

My wife has been coming to this establish for more than 15 years and she is convinced that the…read morequality of the food here has never fallen. To be fair, all she orders is the chicken salad sandwich and she has order nothing else. Today, that changed as we ordered the Apple Cranberry Crisp à la mode along with her Chicken Salad sandwich and that dessert was delicious! It wasn't too sweet and it had me thinking "what kind of apples do they use for this?" It even got reactions from everyone who dined nearby us in the restaurant. So the ambiance was very friendly as while it appeared like they were regulars, they were not because they've never seen the Apple Cranberry Crisp in person. We took our four month old infant and the place was accommodating to that as well. The decor was very traditional but very clean, like you were in the dining room of the golden age of your grandma's house (I hope that makes sense like it does for me). Anyway, I had the NJ Sloppy Joe and that was also delicious - especially with the sweet potato salad that came with it. I also had the cappuccino and the affogato because I had no coffee yet by this point of the day and I had to double down on my espresso intake lol. The Rolling Pin looks like it's been around for the past 75 years and I hope it sticks around for ever. Please give this place a try if you're nearby looking for lunch. You won't forget it!

Another local café in the books! Early Bird Coffee is tucked away in a small plaza in Cresskill,…read moreNJ. It has the perfect atmosphere to work in. There's wifi, outlets, and plenty of comfortable indoor and outdoor seating. Lots of plants and natural lighting, creating a cozy and calm aura. I was able to stay here for a few hours doing work and sipping on my drinks. In addition to drinks, they also sell pastries and sandwiches. It was my first time here and the employee was very helpful and welcoming. I ordered: Matcha Cucumber ($7) - I'm a matcha lover and this drink did it justice. It reminds me of a mojito with a slightly earthy aftertaste. Good choice for those who want something refreshing that isn't sweet. Cold Brew ($5) - An okay drink, it wasn't the best I've had. It wasn't as smooth and sweet. I really wish they could stay open for a bit later, maybe until 5 or 6 pm. Next time I'll try their food and more of their matcha drinks!

It tasted like real coffee first, then somehow ended with a little dessert surprise. My taste buds were out here standing up and clapping.

It's the kind of place where you accidentally stay an extra hour just because it feels so good to be there. Safe to say I'll be back. My wallet might be concerned, but my caffeine addiction has officially picked a favorite.

Several great pastry options and coffee. Tried their latte, they have "Oatly" if that matters, and tried the cream croissant and cheese + pepper pastry (forgot the name).

They also have a chocolate shop next door. When I walked inside of the bakery, I felt transported to a pastry shop in France. I visited on a Sunday afternoon and it was super busy. Service was quick and efficient. I ordered a latte and a scone. The scone was very delicious and fresh. My boyfriend ordered a frozen hot chocolate and a chocolate éclair. I tried a bit of the éclair and we both agreed that it was the star of the show. I normally am not a big éclair person but this one was so chocolatey and rich. It was filled with this creamy, fresh chocolate filling. I strongly dislike the store bought cream filling that they are usually piped with. We sat at one of the little tables on the sidewalk outside since the weather was nice. I will be back if I am in the area and in the mood for a sweet treat!

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.
