    Benedict
    Chad P.

    Apparently this place has been here for years but my friends who I come to visit have recently gotten into it and they appear to be coming enough where they know their favorite waitress is Christine. Christine is super friendly and so accommodating usually for the big crowds that come here. We even managed to see one of the real housewives there with her family. That was a surprise! We came here a couple of times during my week-long stay in New Jersey. The ambiance is very barn and kitchy and the food was excellent every time. The chicken bacon wrap to the breakfast platter. My Benedict Was amazingly good! It was delicious and homemade and thoroughly good for what you paid! Definitely looking forward to coming back next time I'm in New jersey.

    The Red Barn seems to be an institution for Montville/Towaco so I have no idea how Wifey and I had never tried it. My daughter and her boyfriend have been here a lot and invited us out for brunch. With a fairly standard breakfast/brunch menu and an 'everything is great' response from my daughter, I went with kind of a standard for me - two eggs, crispy bacon, hash browns, and I HAD to try their biscuits and grits (IYKYK - very few North Jersey places serve grits). Wifey and daughter each got different breakfast paninis. My meal was great - the biscuits here are a little small, but tasty, and they held up when I built two small breakfast sandwiches. The grits weren't anything out of the ordinary if you like grits, but since I almost never get them here I was delighted! Paninis were great according to the ladies, but Wifey took half home since it was a pretty big portion. Our server was great - she told us when she seated us that they were short staffed and apologized ahead of time of the food was delayed. I appreciated the warning, but there was no need to- she was attentive, helpful, friendly and our food came out without delay. This place is cute, but tight. It also gets PACKED, so expect to wait a bit. I will be back!

    Eggs Benedict

    If I'm ever unsure what to order for breakfast, my go-to dishes are always eggs benedict or french toast. I was looking for something new while waiting for an appointment nearby and came across a place called Red Barn. I ordered online--there were so many great options! The pickup time said 20 minutes, but I arrived a little early and my dish was already being served when I checked in at the front register. When I stepped inside, the place immediately gave off a cozy, homey vibe. It has that classic diner charm, with an island counter for solo eaters and wooden tables for larger groups. My eggs benedict was delicious, but what really made my morning were the crispy hash brown sides. It's been years since I've had hash browns this good--thin, golden, and perfectly crunchy. I'll definitely be back with friends or family to sit down and enjoy a meal.

    Red Barn is my favorite local spot to grab breakfast when I'm too lazy to cook at home. They are always packed on the weekends and there's typically a wait to get a table but they'll make every effort to get you seated quickly. I stopped in on Friday for breakfast and got to choose my table :) Red Barn has a rustic feel with wood panel walls and lots of cute wall decs throughout. It's a small restaurant but oh so worth it! I ordered the avocado eggs Benedict over corn bread from the specials menu. Having corn bread as the base for eggs Benedict sounds odd, but it was good! I'd say 9 times out of 10 I order from their Specials. They come up with the oddest sounded pairings at times but they're delicious. Make sure to ask for the Specials before just ordering from the menu. Service is fast and the ladies working here are all so friendly and personable! You'll leave here full and with a smile!

    Monte Cristo w/ fries
    David L.

    We were looking for a diner along Rt. 287 and found Red Barn. Charming rustic decor, and an extensive menu of reasonably priced breakfast and lunch options. Good portions, and good, somewhat basic food. The Monte Cristo sandwich was very large and served with fries and a few onion rings. The Greek salad was nice, especially with the gyro and grape leaves, but I would have preferred a more flavorful dressing than the olive oil at the bottom of the bowl. The wood benches are not very comfortable, and I wasn't offered any coffee refills, so don't plan to linger too long. The service was prompt, though very businesslike (not warm and friendly). Maybe 4 stars for a breakfast place, but initial impression was 3.5 for lunch.

    It's been a few years since we've stopped in but the experience is as great as it always was. The food is delicious and the service is friendly and fast. A great way for our little family to start the new year.

    That was disgusting, chicken fingers from frozen bag, nasty cheese that seemed more like velveta and omelette posing as huevos rancheros

Is it possible to post that no loud calls are permitted? In NY there are coffee shops with no tech allowed, I wouldn't want that as many times I bring my computer here, sit by the window, work and enjoy my coffee. perhaps boundaries can be made: go outside and make calls? Just a thought! I HIGHLY recommend Boonton coffee, staff and seating are ten stars! Thank you!

I don't live very close and yet I don't at all mind traveling and go back as often as I can.

I absolutely loved the idea and the overall vibe of the cafe. That said, we came specifically for coffee and mochi donuts, and unfortunately those fell a bit short. The coffee was just okay, and the mochi donuts weren't great - ours tasted on the staler side, which was disappointing. Overall, I really think this place has a lot of potential. The service is great and the concept is very unique for this area, and with some improvements to the quality and freshness of the food and drinks, it could easily become a go-to spot. Worth checking out for the aesthetic, but I'm hoping the menu catches up to how cool the space is.

The cafe is pretty big, they have a separate room for events! Plenty of photo ops throughout. They have a menu of sandwiches as well as pastries and such. I ordered the caramel macchiato and my gf got the taro bubble tea. I tried both and loved them! The woman at the counter was very helpful. It was approx $15 for both which is expensive but I'd rather pay that to a small business owner than some big corporation.

Parking can be challenging when it's really packed. I recommend visiting if you're in the area!

    What a delightful tea shop. One of my most authentic experiences in the US, comparable to my…read moreexperiences in tea shops in Taiwan. I actually came across this place on an Instagram post and decided to check it out. It seems that normally a tea ceremony is something we'd have to book ahead of time (and pay for, apparently) but we didn't know. So, we wandered in and the shopkeep started telling us about teas and she let me smell a green one. I asked if I could try it, she generously said yes, and that kicked off an unplanned tea ceremony. It started off with just my husband and I, but as other people came into the shop, the shopkeep invited them to join us at the table so by the end there was another couple, a woman, the shopkeep's husband and the shop's assistant hanging out together and drinking tea. We learned all about the villages where the teas came from, the differences between some of them, how old the teas are, how the shop came to be, even about the tea table we sat at. Super cool vibe, loved the coming together of strangers bonding for hours over a shared love of tea, but one that I'm not sure can be replicated because again, these tea tastings are meant to be booked ahead of time with your party, and are meant to be a paid service (though in Taiwan, tea tastings are free). We got lucky because the shop wasn't busy and people had cancelled their tea bookings due to an upcoming snow storm. I will most likely come back for more tea at some point. Even if a spontaneous tea ceremony never happens again, I count my blessings that such an experience even happened once, and would still recommend this shop to any Chinese tea lover.
