    Taylor Ham Egg and Cheese Sandwich on a roll.
    Chris M.

    Been some time since I posted a review here. This has been my weekend go to for breakfast. The egg and cheese on toast has been great. Fast service and always friendly. The taste has been spot on and price is right. The ambiance is clean and that of a quaint restaurant. A lot of locals and regulars go here. I recommend and will be back.

    Love love love this coffee shop. I've been coming here for years since I was in college to study, work, read, or meet friends. The service is great. The staff are very kind. The food selection is wonderful and the drinks are great as well. It usually doesn't get busy so there's almost always a place to sit either in private or with friends. Will continue coming here as long as I live lol!

    Grilled Chicken Pesto Sandwich - Pressed
    Maddie G.

    Always get the grilled chicken pesto panini when I come here! So flavorful, I'd definitely recommend. Unfortunately, sides (fries, salad, etc.) cost extra and don't come with the sandwiches. Service is okay, employees don't necessarily go out of their way to be especially nice, but it's fine. Ambience is cozy and it's a great place to bring your laptop, connect to wifi, and work/relax.

    Taylor Ham Egg and Cheese Sandwich

    First time having the famous (dare I say infamous) Taylor ham /pork roll bagel sandwich and I thoroughly enjoyed it! You walk in and can order on a kiosk /iPad which is nice especially if you are indecisive and need time to browse. My latte wasn't my favorite but it did what it needed to for our lengthy drive on the turnpike. Nice neighborhood spot lots of families popping in and out for breakfast

    Avocado toast
    Marie N.

    I ordered avocado toast which costs 6 dollars and in the description says the toast is made with sliced avocado, pomegranate seeds, and goat cheese on whole wheat toast. This is what I got. I will NEVER EVER order from this place again. This is NOT WORTH MY MONEY!

    Boasting about my toast with the most.

    Its a trendy spot that was doing things right, even before trendy became trendy. Apparently its a chain, but you wouldn't be able to tell from the community feel. I didn't come here for the coffee, but walked in because of their pretty toast pictures. So many options! Goat cheese pomagranate or salmon cucumber? Picked the latter as per cashier's suggestion and it was a perfect afternoon snack. There's also breakfast, sandwiches, and of course plenty of coffee... all for a very reasonable price and all served in a very homey ambiance. Give it a try if you are in town.

     plate of food and a cup of coffee

    Awful. 30 bucks for cold coffee, a nasty pork roll egg n cheese and "eggo" waffles. Uggh.. So disappointing :(

    Its a nice warm day to sit at RocknJoe and have some coffee. Loved that this place offered a some outside seating for guest, lounge type seating, and table seating. Its a bustling shop with live music and lots of customers. I wouldnt say its the best place to study due to the noise; lots of sound echo-ing and excess noise. But if you have headphones you should be ok. Service was prompt. I loved they had a great menu for hot breakfast items like omelettes, lunch items like sandwiches, and just your average coffee shop snacks. I tried the Raspberry Cookie Crumble latte and egg/bacon/cheese croissant. Definitely enjoyed both and will be back again to dine in for lunch and coffee soon.

    Rockn' Joe is a solid little coffee spot in Millburn and I recently found out this is not the only outpost, this seems to be quite a little chain in NJ (3 or 4 stores). It does give off that chainy vibe which I'm not opposed to, just has that vibe. The music was solid (ask Sheila A) and it was quiet. The staff was friendly and the coffee was good. The internet was super slow and intermittent which was disappointing as I was there to set up shop and work, which made it a bit hard. None of the food rang out so I passed, but definitely a solid option for coffee!

    I really, really like this place. The lattes are great and so is the food. The staff is friendly and attentive. Very comfortable atmosphere with oversized leather chairs and tables. I have read where the service can sometimes be slow but I usually go on Sunday mornings and the last thing I want to feel is rushed. I'm usually moving in slow motion and if they are, as well, I hadn't noticed. Yesterday the bacon smelled so good that I had to order some. Was thin, crisp and delicious, although not a normal accompaniment to oatmeal. If I had one word of advice/criticism, they should make their own oatmeal, not serve instant. Otherwise, AOK. Oh, and the guitarist yesterday was great. Just trying to figure out why anyone would go to Starbucks when this gem is less than a block away. Hmmmm.

Anyway, since then I've been back 3 more times; once for breakfast and twice for brunch. And while I'm confessing, the two times for lunch were on subsequent days. Yeah, they're that good. Actually, their chicken salad on a croissant is the best I've ever had and in my advanced years I've had a crapload of chicken salad. The have a nice sized coffee bar, decorated beautifully with some pretty delicious looking pastries. I'm on an anti-sweet phase so I'm basing my opinion on only on appearance. Then there's a seating area when you can eat, served by a friendly attentive staff and an adjacent boutique area where you can purchase housewares, clothing and other cool stuff. I'm not in Maplewood all that often, generally when I'm shopping at the equally awesome City Workshop but when I do, I always make sure to hit up Perch. You should too. 1/2 star deduction because they don't offer fake sugar, just that Stevia crap which is gross.

Once you bite into it, the chicken isn't mushy at all -- you can actually see the fibers, and it's very juicy and tender. The seasoning is well done and not overly salty. I went with their house sauce, which has a slightly pickled chili vibe -- mildly sour, a bit spicy, and with a unique aroma that's hard to describe but really enjoyable. The fried chicken burger was also impressive -- definitely shows some skill in execution. One unexpected highlight was the cornbread. I usually don't enjoy cinnamon-flavored desserts, but this one grew on me quickly. The texture was excellent, and it ended up being a pleasant surprise. Service was great -- the staff were friendly and welcoming, which made the whole experience feel relaxed and comfortable. Overall, a small spot but a really enjoyable visit. Would come back.
