They also have beautiful garden seating. I ordered Turkish coffee, fresh grapefruit juice, Gurmanski dorucak, mini burek with spinach and cheese, and fruit cake. I love Turkish coffee and this was very good. The juice was tart and delicious. The breakfast platter was a showstopper. Two fried eggs, tomato, feta, two meat patties, and homemade bread. The flavors of the meat blew my mind. Who knew that Croatians make the most delicious burgers. This is a hearty and fantastic dish. Also, the burek was flaky and light and not very mini. I took home the cake and enjoyed it later. Light, delicate and not overly sweet, this was a star. Open for breakfast, lunch, and dinner, you should stop in for any meal. Not cheap, but you get what you pay for and you get a lot of bang for your buck. I can't wait to r

Cafe Bubamara delivers a warm, attentive dining experience with service that feels both welcoming…read moreand well-organized. Seating is first-come, first-served, and guests are placed based on availability, which keeps things fair and efficient even during busy times. The tables for two are intimate and cozy, perfect for conversation, though they can become a bit tight when ordering several dishes at once. That said, the staff was attentive and checked in often enough to clear plates and make room, which made the experience much more comfortable. The dessert menu is separate, allowing guests to enjoy their meal at an unhurried pace before deciding on something sweet. Their beverage offerings are thoughtfully presented. Herbal tea options include green tea, chamomile, and English tea (Stash), and the tea is served in a container that provides two full servings. The cappuccino is well made and served with a sugar crystal stick, adding a distinct old-world charm that enhances the café's European feel. I regret not asking for an additional order of Turkish coffee so that's a regret . What we ordered: * Greek Salad - $18.50 * Cappuccino - $6.80 * Herbal Tea - $6.00 * Uštipci - $17.25 * Musaka - $22.95 * Šnicla (Cutlet Sandwich) - $20.75 * 2 Diet Cokes - $8.00 The musaka is a baked dish and does take about 25 minutes to prepare, as it's made fresh with baked eggs, seasoned beef, and sliced potatoes layered on top. The wait is well worth it, resulting in a hearty, comforting dish that tastes authentically homemade. The Šnicla (cutlet sandwich) arrived beautifully presented on a wooden board, adding a rustic, elevated touch that matched the restaurant's aesthetic. Mom felt it lacked in seasoning but she Didnt leave any crumbs . The Uštipci were a standout--served with feta and honey, generously portioned, and so plentiful that we happily took some home. We were too full for dessert this time, but it's absolutely on the list for a return visit. Due to winter weather, we couldn't explore the back of the restaurant, but even from the main dining area, the decor is undeniably charming and full of character. Overall, Cafe Bubamara offers authentic flavors, generous portions, attentive service, and a cozy, old-world atmosphere that makes it a place worth revisiting.

This brunch café was so good I literally ate every single bite -- no leftovers, no regrets…read more Everything was fresh, flavorful, and clearly made with care. You know it's a win when the table goes quiet because everyone's too busy enjoying their food. It's also the perfect spot to catch up with friends. The atmosphere is relaxed but lively, so you can actually talk, laugh, and enjoy your time without feeling rushed. Great food, great vibes, and a great place to make memories. Definitely adding this to the regular rotation.

We didn't have a reservation, but they were still able to seat us in the dining room as long as we could wrap up before 1:30, which we appreciated. I wasn't super hungry so we shared the crispy cauliflower and lamb ribs from the appetizer menu. The crispy cauliflower was excellent -- hot, actually crispy, and not drowning in sauce which I really appreciated. The lamb ribs came over labneh (a yogurt base) and the first plate arrived with the lamb cold. I asked our waitress if that was intentional and she said only the labneh should be cold. They immediately replaced it with a fresh order and handled it really well, which I appreciated. Great service recovery and overall a really enjoyable brunch spot with a lively atmosphere.

We dined at the bar as we were seeking a drink and a light snack. Calamari was GF and delicious (wish it was more crispy tho)! We also ordered the GF dry rub wings. Amazing, crispy, flavorful! Ambiance: 10/10 Drinks: 9/10 Food: 9/10 Parking: 10/10 I wish the bar staff smiled. Though they were great at serving us and providing us our items accurately, most had the energy of a deflated balloon. A smile could have went the wrong way, or even a proper greeting. I'm going to assume it was simply a long day, and hope to see them in the future hopefully on a better note. They still received a 22% tip for their service.

We were greeted by our server who was very sweet and friendly. I ordered the a hot tea to start. For my main, I had the Farmer's Omelette with a side of home fries and wheat toast. The omelette has fresh vegetables and was very delicious. The home fries were REAL potatoes and seasoned very well. Portions are pretty generous and dishes are reasonably priced.

Food: For a buffet, the food was decent and fairly priced. The chicken and waffles and smoked salmon were definite standouts -- flavorful, well-prepared, and satisfying. There was a good variety overall without feeling overwhelming. Service: Service was a bit slow at times, but with the size of our party and the busy environment, it was understandable. Everyone we interacted with was super kind, and the staff managed the controlled chaos with patience and a smile. Aesthetic: It's a really pretty venue for a buffet, with a unique layout that spreads the stations across different section: carving station, hot food, cold dishes, and desserts all had their own areas. The space feels elevated but still casual enough for a big group celebration.

High quality shrimp cocktail, wonderful smoked salmon, breakfast pizza that melted in my mouth, sautéed Brussel sprouts that were so good... I can go on and on!

Mini freshly made buttermilk waffles were one of my faves with lightly fried chicken breast chunks with maple syrup on the side was divine!! And the chocolate fountain to dip freshly made warm choc chip cookies, rice Krispy treats, and ghiardelli double choc brownies - absolute heaven. I can't wait to go back!

This place is BUSY, which means the word is out and I'm just behind on finding out about this spot! The sun dried tomato bagel with Sausage egg & cheese, SPK is fantastic. Blueberry bagel with plain CC and a plain bagel with pumpkin cream cheese was a hit with my family. Had a chance to also try their Pumpkin coffee and this honestly hit the SPOT. Their parking lot can get a bit tight since they're on a main-ish road and maybe 15 spots total, but there is some side street parking available too. Service was amazing, having been there a few times already. Really great experience. Can you dine in? Sure, they got a few stools and a window ledge, but most folks are grabbing and going.

They have a parking lot and I was lucky enough to find a spot but be prepared to possibly park on the street bc this place is busy. The line was out the door but I mean that speaks to what is to come .... BAGEL HEAVEN! They have a wide variety of bagels including seasonal, specialty and even mini bagels which in all honestly are enough for an adult bc the regular bagels are MASSIVE! I went with my baseline bagel order which is an Everything Bagel w scallion cream cheese ... PERFECTION!!!! The bagels are sooooo dang good! Pillowy but chewy and a nice pull (NJ'ians understand this language lol). And service was also good as they were taking care of customers as fast as they possibly could and the gentleman who helped me apologized for the wait which I wasn't bothered by at all. Definitely highly recommend this place.

It's located in NJ and parking was super easy since they have their own lot. I stopped in on a quiet Wednesday morning and the space was really cute and welcoming. There are a few chairs, plus a cozy little lounge area by the front window with pillows that makes it feel like a nice spot to relax for a bit. I ordered the ube latte with matcha and grabbed a coconut macaroon for a quick snack. The latte was great--the ube flavor was just right, and the touch of matcha complemented it really well. I wish I had more time to stay and try some of their hot food, so I'll definitely be coming back to sample more of the menu soon! Thank

Not always the easiest spot to get parking (the lot can fill up for sure) and sometimes there's a wait, but the bagels are always super fresh and delicious. Highly recommended if you're in the Clifton area or coming through and need a bite. Just realize there are no tables or anything, so you may have to bring home or eat in your car!
