    Everything Croissant (~$6)
    Aya E.

    Ordered: Iced Spanish Latte (~$7): espresso, sweetened condensed milk, cinnamon, milk Iced Golden Hour Oat Latte (~$9): organic brown butter maple syrup, coconut condensed milk, espresso, oat milk and a dash of sea salt Aricha Mill Pour Over 8oz (~$5): from Ethiopia Everything Croissant (~$6): cream cheese-filled croissant with a crunchy coating of poppy seeds, sesame seeds, onion, garlic and sea salt Blueberry Cheese Danish (~$4) Nutella Stuffed Banana Bread (~$5) Aya's take: Queen City Coffee Roasters was recommended to me by a fellow Yelper and I was excited to stop by around 10am on a Saturday. The space itself is so open and inviting. Many tables were taken but it didn't feel overly crowded at all. I got the Iced Spanish Latte which was well-made and a good balance of sweet & creamy. It could've been more espresso forward but honestly, I didn't mind. We still found ourselves here 2 hours later, so I decided to try the Iced Golden Hour Oat Latte which was incredible! It was creamy & silky, perfectly sweet from the brown butter maple syrup, and the espresso still came through in every sip. This was expertly crafted! It's great that they do pour overs and classic coffee drinks as well. The Pour Over was not my favorite but it had notes of peach & black tea. Their pastries are sourced from a local bakery and were super fresh. I loved the Everything Croissant and highly suggest getting that warmed up. The Blueberry Cheese Danish was also one of the better ones I've had. I liked the center part but felt the flaky exterior was a bit dry. The Nutella Stuffed Banana Bread came recommended by the staff and honestly, I get it! So decadent, satisfying, and rich - also get this warmed up! All in all, the reasonable prices, the Palestinian art, and solid menu made this coffee shop memorable. Highly recommend!

    I've been meaning to stop by here to try their coffee... came here on a Thursday morning and had a chai latte with caramel syrup. It was tasty, not overly sweet. However, what made it for me was a Nutella banana bread which was delicious. I suggest if you go there to try this. Service was quick. The lady behind the counter was friendly. Good ambience if you wanna stop by and have coffee... aesthetically it's very nice!

    My Toasty Marshmallow Latte

    Instead of making coffee at home, I decided to test myself to a somewhat new cafe in Clifton! Queens City Coffee Roasters recently opened their second location on 46 in Clifton. It all began in their Plainfield location. During this trip, I ordered the Toasty Marshmallow Latte - super rich, the Spanish Latte - loved the cinnamon taste and the Blueberry Cream cheese Danish. The danish was light and flaky. $16 later for 2 lattes and a danish is not bad at all! They have a decent size space with lots of seating throughout. There's a big long table in the front along with tables and different chairs throughout. I like how the big table had coasters to use - it was a nice touch. There's plenty of parking in the lot outside. Staff working the counter was very helpful!!

    I was so excited to hear that a Queen City Coffee Roasters was opening in Clifton. It took me longer than I wished to visit this location, but I finally got there a couple of weeks ago. It is a really nice space with lots of tables and couches to relax, eat, and even get some work done. It was pretty crowded for an early Friday afternoon. I plopped down at the last available table when I arrived. I ordered the Honey Oat latte and Egg Pita. The honey oat latte was delicious and creamy. It was really well done. The Egg Pita was also very good, but it took a very long time to come out. It was pretty busy, but for a moment, I thought they had forgotten about me. By the time the egg pita came out I had finished my coffee and needed another drink to go with it. Luckily I brought in my water bottle and was able to sip from that. The staff were very nice and accommodating. I asked a lot of questions when I was looking for the right meal to order. The barista definitely led me in the right direction and I was happy with my food order. I will definitely return to Queen City Roasters to try some of their seasonal beverages and their other food options. Everything looks delicious!

    Food: the Spanish Latte was amazing. The coffee taste was rich and bold in flavor. You can taste the smoothness. I personally think this drinks fits best as an Ice drink rather than hot. Ambiance: Airy, clean, and great but simple decor.

    I have loved QCC since ive tried their location at Plainfield but never got to revisit again as it was too far -- until this December! I was so excited to have them somewhere much closer! The service was as warm as I remembered and the coffee was delicious still! I appreciate that they have food options too and that ive finally brought some beans from them to take home. Inside was nice and spacious and loooove the ample parking! cant wait to return!

    Great stop at Queen City Coffee Roasters in Clifton. The cappuccino was excellent, smooth and well made. Even better, it was made by the Director of Operations, which says a lot about how hands-on the team is. QC clearly has big plans ahead. Finding the place is easy overall, though GPS tried to send us through the neighborhood behind it. Just keep going, pull into the lot, make a left, and you'll see it. The space is large and feels built for high volume. Seating was limited when we visited, and the only open spots were at the bar where drinks are handed out, which felt a bit awkward. Solid coffee, friendly staff, and a spot that feels like it is just getting started. Worth a visit.

    Such a cute cafe with parking. Simple menu. Great place to do some remote work or just hang. Tried their strawberry iced matcha and it was good. Loved that you could taste the matcha with the subtle hint of strawberry. Would like to come back to try their baked goods since they didn't have anymore Nutella stuffed banana bread. Super friendly service.

    Flat white or cappuccinos?
    Roxanne O.

    We've been to the original location several times, so we definitely had to visit their new one. Such a large space, and brightly lit. They get lots of business. I liked to see that they're very systematic with their drinks, making sure each time a particular drink is made, it is the same. I hadn't been as satisfied lately because the barista's skills at the original location varied all the time. I asked if they could make a flat white, though, and they told me it was the same as a cappuccino, which it isn't, so that was the only thing.

    First of all, this delicate, delicious, Arab staple breakfast plate subtly seduced me with its flavor and perfection. It hit the spot! The staff gave me a heads up that the kitchen was busy and I would wait 20-25min if I chose to proceed with my order, but, I came to this kitchen with this dish in mind and I was A-OK with the wait.. it was WELL beyond worth it. The place was buzzing with happy people waiting for great coffee and yummy food and I appreciated the bright kind people all around me. I re ordered the mocha mint latte but fyi last time I was here I tried their marshmallow latte made with halal marshmallows in their house made syrup and I was happy with that too!

    Except very friendly staff, a spotless interior, and delicious ceremonial tea quality matcha-a gem of a cafe that feels genuinely cared for.

    Decided to stop by this new coffee shop I saw online, and I must say I was very happy with my visit. The establishment is very nice and clean, with plenty of space and seating. The décor is beautiful and welcoming. I'm glad I decided to stop by. The gentleman behind the counter was extremely nice and friendly. I tried the Spanish latte, and it was delicious. I also ordered the banana bread with Nutella, which was absolutely amazing. I definitely can't wait to return and try some of their food options,everything looks great

    Tuna Sandwich
    Kimberly D.

    The Cafe is so nice! I love the sliding front windows that open up the entire space for fresh air. Even though it is off a highway, it is nicely tucked in the back of the strip giving it a secluded feel. It was a very nice and relaxing feel. There were a few people working and studying, which I thought was cool. My matcha was delicious, thick and cream just how I like it. The pistachio latte was also very delish! The scone was perfect, and so cute! The Tuna Sandwich was tasty, love the balsamic in it. The chicken sandwich was on the salty side. Might have been a slip, I'll have to order again to see. Overall I will be coming back!

This one pound mozzarella stick definitely fulfilled that criteria. It was so gigantic it was almost like getting a workout in just to lift it. The outside was heavily breaded with bread crumbs and the top was sprinkled with parmesan cheese and chopped scallions. Even the dipping cup was supersized to accommodate the diameter of the stick! Typically, I would have posted until after my I finished my oversized food compilation project. However, it's being posted early because The Brookdale is permanently closing its doors. I am truly sad to hear they will no longer be in business, but their three sister restaurants at 1109 Broad Street will still remain open. #thebrookdale #thebigcheese #bloomfieldnj

It's cozy, genuine, and the kind of place where you can tell there's a lot of love going into what comes out of the kitchen. And speaking of that kitchen--you can see it from pretty much every seat in the house. Watching several cooks navigate what looks like an incredibly tiny space is almost mesmerizing. Somehow, they move around each other seamlessly, and the best part? The food comes out FAST. My wife went with the hummus, and it was creamy, flavorful, and delicious. But the surprise star on the side was the salted dried kale chip--such a simple little addition, but ridiculously good. Then came my pancakes. Out of this world. Small in diameter, but super thick, with a beautifully crispy exterior giving way to an interior that was fluffy, light, and airy. I've tried making this style of pancake at home countless times, and I still have absolutely no idea how to get that texture. The syrup and berries were the perfect finishing touches. Everything just worked. I've made and had soooo many pancakes in my life, and this is easily top 3 best. The Corner is the kind of place that makes you start planning your next visit before you've even left. I'll be dreaming about getting back to this Corner.

Unfortunately I took my food to-go and when I opened my bagel from the foil it was just a regular everything bagel. Not a big deal, but the ticket even said egg everything so not sure what happened. It was also quite dry, any ketchup that was on there got soaked up by the hash brown. My boyfriend ordered a breakfast burrito and really enjoyed it though! The frappe was pretty good. I ordered it because I thought it would be frozen and it was a hot day, but I learned Greek frappes are not served that way! We also grabbed a lil coffee cake brownie thing from the counter which was fine. I would say overall, based on this experience, the ambiance and decor of this place kind of outshine the food and service. I feel like at a place called BGL the bagels should be the star of the show ya know? I'd return to try some of their unique cream cheese options or maybe a wrap since their menu is so extensive!
