This cafe is such a gem.

All of their sandwiches and salads are made to order, super fresh, and thoughtfully put together, and the coffee is consistently on point every time I come in. One of my favorite things about this place is how great it is for working. There are tons of outlets, plenty of seating, and a calm, welcoming vibe that makes it easy to settle in for a few hours. It's also dog-friendly, which I absolutely love (I come here at least once a week with my dog, and they're always so accommodating and kind). The staff is genuinely friendly, there's a large parking lot (which is a huge plus), and they always have fun seasonal items to look forward to. You can really feel the care and intention behind this place. Highly recommend making this part of your weekly cafe rotation.

My husband was in the mood for a coffee date ("with ambiance and vibes, " he insisted), and a quick…read moreonline search brought us to the doors of Cafe Baires. There's a lot going for this cafe. For one, the drinks are pretty nice. We had small misgivings with our drinks. My husband found his chai latte to be lukewarm, and I wished my strawberry matcha were just a tad sweeter. But I was impressed by the way they took the time to muddle the strawberry blend into the cup and properly whisk the matcha. Secondly, the inside is nothing like you'd expect from the outside. There's a small seating space on the ground floor, but once you go up the stairs in the back and go down a small hallway, the space suddenly opens up to a cavernous room. It was a little quirky, a total surprise, and added to the charm of this local cafe. We came for the drinks, but I was blown away by the empanadas. They're warmed up in a toaster upon ordering, creating a beautifully crunchy exterior that nicely contrasted the tender, aromatic ground beef inside. I went so bananas for this that I sent my husband back to the register for another one while we were still midway through the first. The ham and cheese empanada was a close second, with the same fresh crunch on the outside and an impressive cheese pull. Service is just lovely. If you order comestibles, they'll bring it to your table. We were torn between two, so much that we asked our barista which she preferred. She certainly didn't lead us astray with her recommendation, but minutes later, she brought us the other one for free. "Because you wanted to try it," she said with a smile. Your options for parking in this area is limited to whatever paid metered spots you can find. Depending on what day and time you're in the area, spots can be a little tougher to come by, but I've never had to search longer than five minutes.

Stopped into Iconic Coffee for a quick pick me up and was pleasantly satisfied…read more The cafe is nicely decorated, is full of positive affirmations, has a fair amount of high-top tables, and a few regular tables. The Manager/owner went above and beyond to make us comfortable, was genuinely happy to create our selections, and added to the enjoyment of the visit. The beverage items were: Iced Brown Sugar Shaken Espresso (Espresso swirled with brown sugar, cinnamon, and milk). I really enjoyed this beverage. It was served in a large glass and the presentation was appealing. It showed the flavorful espresso at the bottom 1/4 of the glass and after mixing it all together.....wow! The next choice was the Mocha Latte, with slim milk. The only thing I'll mention about this drink was, that it was the best they've ever had, annnnnnnnd they've had a lot of them. Thank you, Iconic Coffee, for creating a business with a welcoming atmosphere and a relaxing ambience. I'll happily return and will gladly spread the word. :-)

For the purpose of the class they did not have their full menu available but they did offer all participants 2 full size beverages from their menu. I had the Mora Mojito (not infused) and hands down one of the best mocktails I have every had. I also tried the Lemonade Ginger Beer which too was very refreshing. My friend had the Coquito Iced Latte and raved about it being delicious. While we did not order food....appetizers were served. They gave us chicken pinchos...not much to talk about HOWEVER they served a guayaba puff pastry that was deliousous!!!! I would recommend everyone to take a class when they are offering one. While this place is a little out of my way just to stop by for coffee, I recommend you do and I will if in the area.

What is there not to love about Marimba Cafe? We walked in when they just opened and we were…read moreimmediately greeted warmly by the staff. Everything from the vibe to the space was full of good energy. They asked if it was our first time there and immediately recommended their favorites. I got the coquitto latte (something you don't see anywhere else), it's unlike any latte I've had before. Warm and yummy on a cold day. Now onto the food, everything we got was delicious from the empanadas to the sandwiches. You can taste that everything is made fresh and with love. The bbq chicken skewers were tender and flavorful and the El Clasico Sandwich - wow! It was cheesy, salty, sweet, all in one bite. The guava sauce on it put it over the top. Marimba cafe is definitely worth multiple visits!

We ordered a classic sausage, egg, and cheese on a roll and this time, I also wanted to investigate their bagel game. I ordered an everything bagel with veggie cream cheese and it took just a few bites to remind this newly transplanted Southerner that bagels in the Northeast are in a league of their own. Food comes out fast. We both watched admiringly from our tables as the short order cooks moved like tornados at the grill, furiously beating bowl after bowl of eggs to fulfill the counter endless string of orders. That's another thing. During the whole half hour we dined at a table, things never quieted. As soon as a table cleared, someone else would grab it right away. Over the years, I've found that when in doubt, it's best to follow the crowds. On most Saturday mornings, it seems this is the place where all the crowds in Ridgefield Park are congregating. This breakfast spot is as local as it gets. As a lover of small business, I can't tell you secretly happy I get to see lines at the door here while the Dunkin Donuts across the street languishes.

Great pizza with the air filled crust, Chinese food and B&W crumb cake. I recently was looking into something from my old home and saw a story talking about B&W crumb cake. I was thrilled that they were still open and that I could order the cake online. My anticipation was high and my friends couldn't wait to try it. Unfortunately my memories were dashed. It came in the same bag I remembered but when I tried it I was disappointed. The crumbs were extremely hard and didn't have a rich cinnamon taste. The cake was dry and tasted stale. Maybe it was because it took 2 days to arrive with UPS, I don't know. I'm just sorry one of my find memories was dashed.
