    Egg Platter

    Set back from route 46 but worth going. Very friendly staff. Fast service. Food and coffee was great. Ordered egg platter. Scrambled eggs with 2 cheeses ,multi grain toast and good portion of avocado. $14.00. Alittle pricey but it was really good. I will definitely be back.

    My Toasty Marshmallow Latte
    Nicole M.

    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!!

    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.

    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!

    Small iced strawberry matcha with oat milk-Delicious

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

    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.

    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!

    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.

    Pancakes
    Aysha A.

    I was advised to try the pancakes and they did not disappoint! I would come back just to have them again! They were both crispy and fluffy with the right amount of butter/syrup! I've now recommended them to others as well! The honey oat latte was also satisfying but next time I'll have to try the matcha!

    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!

    Iced Spanish latte & the BEST chocolate chip muffin I have ever had!
    DJ L.

    So impressed! Had to meet a business colleague here - did not even know about this hidden gem! Place was lively with lots of seating options - super bright, clean abd cheery. Lot of people in and out but service was very efficient. Plenty of hot and cold drink options - I had the iced Spanish latte - tasty & refreshing! Then I treated myself to a chocolate chip muffin - it was HUGE wth giant chunks of chocolate - easily the best I have ever had. I cant wait to go back and explore their other pastries (the cardamon bun is on my list!) , drinks and food.

    Finally! I was looking for coffee shop like this in Clifton, and happy that it's here. I really enjoy the vibes. There is a lot of natural light, and it's an open and inviting space to be in. Food is good; I've had the Spanish latte and hot chocolate paired with a croissant. Place is a popular spot for meet ups and fills up quick. I like the background music, but it can be overpowered by loud conversation, especially when more people show up. It gets busy and seating can be tough depending on the time of day. Today I was lucky to get the spot I wanted and work in peace. Guy approached me to take my coveted spot as soon as he noticed that I was leaving so I helped him out. I haven't been here for their events yet, but looks fun. This is definitely an establishment I will frequent.

    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

    The Brookdale 1099 Broad St…read more Bloomfield NJ 07003 The Big Cheese A member from my group page tipped me off about this location because I am currently working on a compilation reel about oversized menu items. 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

Service was good and the restaurant with low lighting was a good vibe! Its split into a half bar and half dining area which i liked. Only complaint i can think of is they didnt have many options of beer on tap as they advertised on thier menu. Overall good experience would recommend!

We had high expectations for your restaurant, given its reputation, and the many times we frequent your establishment. However, unfortunately, several issues arose that significantly impacted our evening. We arrived for our reservation and began at the bar with a drink before moving to our table. (2-glasses of bar wine) We sat at the table and then ordered a second glass of wine, which took approximately 15 minutes to arrive--despite the restaurant appearing relatively quiet after 7 PM with only a four-tables occupied. When we inquired at the bar, we were told there were no glasses available, which should have been addressed proactively. Additionally, when reviewing the menu, we did not see a ribeye listed on the menu. We asked the server if there was one available. Our server explained that a ribeye was available for $85. We proceeded to order it (along with a salad, as no other green vegetable options like spinach was available). However, the server later clarified that the $85 price referred to a different steak, and the ribeye we received was priced at $199. This was at the time we received the final bill. This misunderstanding was not clearly communicated upfront, leading to confusion and total disappointment! To make matters worse, when the steak arrived, it appeared totally undercooked (essentially raw in the center), and by the time we addressed it and attempted to proceed, our accompanying mashed potatoes had gone cold. The meat never tastes correct when recooked after bring sliced!!!!!Overall, we felt the service and communication was unacceptable, leaving us confused and terribly dissatisfied. As the owner and chef, is well respected I wrote to him only to find no reply at all. No manager was available on-site to assist us at the time. It is clear the restaurant is failing as there were three tables on Saturday night at 7:00 pm.

What really stood out was the attentiveness of the staff--they genuinely made us feel welcome from the moment we arrived. I ordered the breakfast burrito along with a vanilla, honey, cinnamon latte with espresso. The burrito was different from what I'm used to--instead of being filled with potatoes, the sausage was the highlight. It was packed with flavor, very saucy, and incredibly filling. I loved the unique twist. My friend ordered the avocado toast (without egg) and the chickpea salad sandwich. Both looked fresh, flavorful, and beautifully prepared. We also enjoyed our lattes, which were smooth and perfectly balanced with the vanilla, honey, cinnamon, and espresso.
