I ordered a pesto chicken sandwich, and my daughter had the grilled cheese. I asked the staff to warm it up, and the food came out piping hot. I have not seen these items in Livingston.

I have been to this Belle Mead locations on several occasions for coffee. While the service is…read morefriendly and the place is very clean, the expresso and cappuccino are never hot enough. The Lavazza coffee is very tasty but for some reason, it is always warm, not hot. A real bummer as this place is close to home and could be a regular stop for me. The various pastries that we have tried are very good. I especially like the croissants and the boston creme donuts. But unless they fix the temp on the espresso and cappuccino, I doubt I will return. Well, maybe just one last visit to see if they make the necessary improvements. In the meantime, I will use my old reliable Lavazza Carmencita.

Pink Little Cake will be our "go to" cake and specialty dessert baker! We needed a wedding cake…read morefor our wedding luncheon on fairly short notice and over the Easter holiday weekend as well. We wanted something very special and beautifully decorated and since we're not from the Princeton area we found Kathia's website and were blown away by her designs and reached out to her. Kathia was very responsive to our email messsges and worked with us to make our final cake decorating decisions, she also delivered our cake on time for a small delivery fee to our venue at Palmer Square. The cake was beautiful, simple and elegant just as we wanted and actually matched our flowers and was most importantly DELICIOUS! The vanilla cake and fruit filling flavors were perfectly balanced, the icing wasn't too sweet and the texture was nice for both the cake and icing and didn't overpower the strawberry fruit filling. We would highly recommend Kathia,s Pink Little Cake bakery for a special occasion! Thank you very much!

The staff is always friendly and accommodating. They are always hustling, then restaurant is always full - no question why!

They run a food pantry, provide hot meals to those in need, and I'm certain there is more I'm missing at this time. I really love supporting a business that makes our community even greater :) we love hopewell!!

The Mango Tree is a recently opened Indian restaurant that's popped up in Belle Mead in a new strip…read moremall in the Route 206 corridor between Hillsborough and Princeton/Montgomery. The largely positive reviews and wanting to try out a new restaurant led to this being the choice of dinner spot for meeting up with a friend. While nothing fancy, the interiors are bright and modern with plenty of seating. It can get pretty loud between the high ceilings resonating customer voices and music playing from a speaker with an uncomfortably high bass level. Their website menu online seems to offer additional items that didn't make it into their print in-restaurant menu, so be sure to ask about availability if you notice any discrepancy in items you want to order. We got mango lassis (3/5) to drink, which we saw were poured out of a huge jug (probably made earlier in the day). It was pretty average in taste and we felt it didn't use any fresh mangos in the preparation. To start off, we got the chicken 65 and onion pakoras as appetizers. The chicken 65 (2.5/5) was on the bland side and some pieces of chicken were kind of game-y, so we felt it wasn't good. The onion pakoras (4.5/5) were a unique and more stringy preparation of onions with flavorful chickpea batter, but the best part was that they drained the oil well after frying, so didn't have an oily texture to them. For the main course, we went with the butter chicken masala and a naan. The butter chicken masala (3/5) was pretty average with a thicker and more ginger-based gravy preparation (their online menu pictures a lighter colored and more tomato-based gravy which is what we would have preferred). The naan (3.5/5) was an ample portion and was tasty. While nothing was particularly bad, we felt all the food was pretty average and forgettable for Indian food in central New Jersey, and the ratings you find online for the business seem vastly inflated and not reflective of the quality of the food. The service (2.5/5) was not good as they use a de-centralized service model without a dedicated waiter checking in on you. While the employees were generally friendly and a team member did check in with us once during the meal, nobody paid attention come time to pay the check, and it took several minutes to get the attention of a staff member to get the bill and boxes for leftovers. Given the average food, inattentive service, and tacky/loud bass music playing, we probably won't be back to Mango Tree or be recommending them to others given other better options for Indian food in the area.

One of the best dosas I have had in New Jersey, well that's coming from someone who has dosas every other day! The sambar is typical Tamil Nadu style and good. Again not many restaurants get the sambar right. Pretty prompt and good service. The waiter could be more educated on the menu but was courteous. We also ordered Chicken Sukka and Andhra Chicken Curry. While they were good, had more spice than needed (not the hot spice but more garam masala). The banana leaf under the dosa is a nice touch. But the dried white water marks was a turn off. Overall a great experience and will go again. If they take care of some of these smaller issues at least a 4 star!

I ordered their soy garlic fried chicken, army stew, and ube banana pudding. I did really enjoyed their fried chicken. It was crispy, perfectly double fried, the soy garlic wasn't too salty and was very delicious. I normally don't like to order tenders as they tend to be very dry but I ordered it this time because my friend don't want bones. To my surprised, it was very moist and juice so I think it's up therein terms of Korean fried chicken. The disappointing thing was my army stew took 30-45mins to come out. My friend was almost done with her fried rice and I had to go ask them twice before my army stew was ready. They forgot to give me rice with the stew and the most disappointing thing was they don't put ramen in the army stew which is the first place I've been to that excludes it. I also found the broth to be too sweet and it could be nice if it has more aged kimchi to add more flavors. The ube banana pudding was good taste wise. It was perfect when I first tried it but I found it a tad too sweet as I continue to finish it. It would've also been nice if there's more bananas because there were many times I just scooped out ube mousse. Overall, a great option for a quick meal before or after grocery shopping since this is a food court inside the kasia market. Service wasn't perfect but the staff were at least very friendly. They also offer different banana pudding flavors so I would go back again just to try them out.
