    Not the best experience for me ngl. Truly not one to come on here to drag down an establishment but this is def one of the poorest customer service + rudeness I've ever gotten. (Then again maybe the lady was just having a bad day & it def showed in the taste and appearance of the smoothie I ended up throwing away) & got mcDonalds instead for a way cheaper price and more authentic taste. Pictures attached: - Palo de Azucar strawberry banana smoothie- $6.86 - McDonald strawberry banana smoothie- $4.29 Asked her name to be friendly & she got super defensive hmm okay(I know there's a lot of political tension rn but then again I don't wanna be stereotypical so imma leave it at that) . In still trying to be positive and make small talk sis said something along the lines of... I'm busy with orders in the kitchen so what's your order because I don't have time for this... then rushed to back and returned back with the watered down and poorly tasted smoothie Didn't try anything else on the menu so maybe y'all will like those instead & come back and give a better review lol. For the outdoor seating, they take away the chairs at 5:30 and put inside before 6pm closing. So couldn't stay there & do late evening studying so I just went to the park with my McDonalds smoothie in hand. Overall the aesthetic was cute and the lights decor were pretty. Will not be returning

    Noticed a new café had opened on South Broad and stopped to in to try Palo de Azúcar. Very well decorated and modern inside, with lots of cute coffee-related decor. My favorite touch is the "Welcome" above the menu written in three different languages (Spanish, Italian, and Polish), signifying three important immigrant groups in the city of Trenton. Plenty of seating inside and an outdoor dining structure, too. The menu on the wall is large and detailed but I wish it had the prices written on it. Really enjoyed the iced mocha latte and it's become my go-to at Palo de Azúcar. I also recommend trying some of the baked goods. The pastelito dominicano with chicken was so good and filling!

    Palo de Azucar Cafe (Sugar Stick Cafe) is the second coffee house at this location that was an old time Italian deli for over fifty years before changing hands. I was a customer of that antique urban store, and loved their breakfast sandwiches, especially the sausage, egg and cheese creation. The old grill in the back room turned out many a delicious meal. So, when I saw that the new place had a morning menu including a SEC sammy, I know the temptation to explore that offering would be too great to let me stay away for long. And, so it was. I walked in today after finding a parking spot open in front. The room looked the same as the first cafe, but with interesting artwork on the walls, and a very pleasant crew of baristas handling the preparations on the polished stainless Expresso maker. I asked for the sandwich and large coffee, and looked around while waiting for it to be completed. Clean and well maintained. I watched as one of the women made my bagel sandwich on the small grills on the back shelf. Double meat. Double soft fried egg. Double cheese. She and I had a brief conversation about how Trenton had changed over the years (not all for the better, we agreed), but certainly with new life springing up in the shadows of this former "All American City." She constructed the layers of ingredients and nicely packaged it for my trip down the street to the office. That sticky decal with the cafe's logo was a very nice touch. Saving the best for last, the sandwich was among the best desayunos I've had the pleasure to consume. It was loaded, and each bite an explosion of tastes and textures, as my teeth slices through it. Amazing how exponentially better doubling the contents made the dish. A bagel is leaky by design, but it wasn't so extrusive as to require extreme caution. Yes, my fingers were involved in picking up all that fell out. It was all too good to waste. The coffee was a medium roast that continues to hold its flavor without bitterness to this very moment. At five minutes from the office, Palo de Azucar is too good to not become a regular morning stop. The sandwich so reminded me of the old guy cooking in the backroom, that it was almost like he was still around. Great way to commemorate the great grandfather of the shop by allowing his spirit to shine through.

    This is a combined grade for food and coffee parts of this business on Butler Street in Trenton,…read moreNJ. I first noticed Panorama Musicale while picking up lunch at Italian Peoples' Bakery next door. From the outside it still looks like an Italian shop from Chambersburg's heyday. But, walking in you realize you aren't in Jersey anymore. The language is Spanish, and the environment is Latin Café. I was there to see about lunch. The friendly owner showed me what was cooking in the water table, and I chose the fried chicken and rice. I noticed the other customers were drinking coffee, and soon understood why. Behind the counter was a copper classic expresso machine, complete with large dome and spread eagle on top. A work of art from another era. So, the chicken was dry and overcooked, and the rice only passable. I wouldn't return for their food unless desperate. For that alone, they would get two stars at most. However, I wasn't gong to leave without testing that awesome contraption, and ordered a latte to go. I watched as the process unfolded. Valves were turned. Steam pipe immersed. Foam poured. Impressive bit of engineering and design. And, the latte was excellent, too! Far better than the average joe, and at a reasonable price compared to the better known beaneries. If it had been served in ceramic, on a tray, and with a cookie, it would have garnered five stars; but given the styro cup delivery, I just couldn't get that far. Panorama Musicale could use a thorough cleaning and a little panache around its wonderful expresso machine, but as it is, it is a surprising find for superior coffee in the heart of Jersey's capital city.

The owner of this place still makes great Espressos, Cappuccinos and Lattes. Today I decided to also have lunch with my son here. There is no menu and just a small hot buffet but ask the people for the daily special and you get a great meal. Today's special was Chicken Soup and I can tell you, it was one of the best chicken soups I had in a long time. Where else in Trenton do you get a good meal and a great coffee in the same place for less than a fast food chain meal?

This location is somewhat small. Seating exists, but more in the way that folding chairs exist at a funeral luncheon. You can sit. You just can't linger without developing opinions about strangers transiting through. The parking lot outside feels like a free form social experiment. Cars were being parked in by other cars while still others idled along the curb as their drivers strolled inside for to go orders, seemingly oblivious to the chaos they left in their wake. In the thirty minutes I was there I witnessed two near misses at the drive thru exit and briefly wondered if Starbucks offered liability waivers with their rewards program. Inside things improved dramatically. I ordered my standard tall flat white, which is a drink Starbucks can usually deliver without adding enough sugar to cause diabetic shock or roasting the beans until they taste like charcoal and regret. I said I was staying and was rewarded with a proper ceramic mug. This small mercy felt important. The staff were exceedingly friendly and appeared to genuinely enjoy one another which gave the place good vibes. There was laughter. There was competence. No one looked trapped or defeated. No small feat in today's world. All in all this Starbucks achieves exactly what corporate sameness is aiming for. Predictable coffee. Pleasant people. A familiar room to get some work done. The only variable is the demolition derby taking place just beyond the doors. If they ever pave over that parking lot with common sense this place might earn another star.

The staff really sets this place apart, though. Everyone has been friendly, welcoming, and happy to make recommendations, which we've never regretted following.

It's become a go-to spot for breakfast and lunch, and we're always excited to come back. Highly recommend.

A friend recently moved to Morrisville and I found myself in the area at lunchtime after a visit. I wanted to try a few things but it looked as though the steak was a big one, so I just had that. The fries that came with it were very good too. As was foretold, the steak was one of the best I've had in years. Let me start with the roll, long seeded torp that had a light toasting. ALL steaks should be so lucky as to have this as a delivery vehicle, most sandwiches too. The beef was tender and nicely seasoned and cheese and onions were evenly distributed throughout. The portion size/cost was very fair, this was 2 meals for me. My only critique would be on the Cooper American cheese used. I would prefer a sharper cheese, Cooper sharp or even provolone. I'll inquire if there are other options. Even if there weren't, I'd still get this anytime. I saw several other lunch items of interest to me, and in the right frame of mind and early enough several breakfast options too. Service was friendly and fast. I'll likely be back next for the shrimp tacos, or just another steak. I'm at a 4.5 with just the one visit, stay tuned....
