Cute cafe in active area of South Orange. Came around lunchtime on a Thursday afternoon and was…read morequickly acknowledged upon entry but the gentleman barista. Everything was fine but I had a weird encounter I want to share in case others have also encountered this. Upon entry, I told the lady at the receptionist desk that I was dining solo indoors. She told me they were short on staff and had to order and pay with her before seating. First time dining here and didn't know how busy it was since the dining area was on the other side of the wall. Fine... no problem. Upon sitting, I noticed there were only two other tables and most of the tables were empty. There appeared to be two male servers tending to the dining area.. Food and coffee came out in good time and the server who delivered it was friendly. After I sat and paid, I saw three other tables who came and were sat - all receiving normal table service. (I.e waiter taking orders, pay at the end.) I don't want to assume anything but would suggest the restaurant look at their practices and either exercise them across all patrons to avoid causing anyone to feel singled out... Food and coffee were good.

Went here for the first time shortly after finding out it existed and was near my workplace. It's…read morekind of hidden away in the north side of Military Park, and you could work nearby for years and not know about it. Ordered the lamb burger and it was cooked perfectly, medium, juicy with a great fresh flavor. Side salad portion was generous with fresh greens and grape tomatoes. Got off to a bumpy start waiting for them to take my order, but after that the staff was very friendly and checked in frequently. Fairly small space and could use some sprucing up, but nothing to complain about. Will be coming back.

We came for the Oxtail burger but on this day they were only making beef burgers, lamb burgers, and catfish sandwiches. The bonus, however, was the BBQ offerings in the backyard -- Mac n cheese, corn on the cob, fries, and plantains! Between the awesome cheeseburger and lamb burger, I was in seventh heaven. We had a great time sitting on the lawn and celebrating this glorious day with our brothers and sisters.

Their pancakes were top notch…read more We returned for a second time, so I tried their patty melt, I am disappointed the patty was a frozen pre-patty and a bit dry, so don't order the burger(s). It's quiet enough you can have a great conversation at your table without having to yell.

Ordered takeout online and they put cheese on my grits even though my order clearly said no cheese…read more I had to waste time and gas driving all the way back (I don't even live in Orange) just for the older of the two Indian women at the counter to be rude and give me an attitude. Worse, I watched her tell another server to take my returned container of grits back into the kitchen -- a serious health code violation. Once food leaves the restaurant, it should never go back into the kitchen because of contamination risks. Makes you wonder if they re-serve food people return. Between the bad attitude, wasted trip, and unsafe food handling, I won't be coming back.

Great spot for a Matcha on a Sunday. The staff is chill with an amazing memory and the drinks are…read moreconsistently on point. There is almost always music playing and I really appreciate them taking orders over the phone and online. They also have this cool complimentary option of personalizing your cup with a black & white photo of you if you ask. I've also had the turmeric latte and the avocado toast which are worth getting again. The toast was fresh and flavorful. They have an enclosed booth that looks like it seats 4. Great for a little open privacy. The couches are quite comfortable as well. They have punch cards which is good, but I'm terrible with remembering so it would be great if they went digital with rewards. Maybe 1 point per visit or 1 point per $1 with tiered rewards. It's the only coffee shop I go to in the area that doesn't have digital rewards. Would love to see more vegan options on the menu, maybe a cinnamon roll lol. Con is they open late for a cafe. Coffee shops typically open at 7am.

I finally made it over to Harper's on a Sunday around noon for a late breakfast, and honestly…read more.. Harper's is the cutest. The vibes alone are worth the visit. It's cozy, small, has warm décor, friendly staff, just enough seating, and the music overhead was chef's kiss. And bonus: it's a Black-owned business, which I will always support. We ordered a small iced coffee with oat milk and sugar, an iced chai latte, the grilled cheese with arugula, and the egg platter. Everything was pretty good -- I wasn't blown away, but it was solid and seasoned well. I really wanted to try the French toast because I've heard so many good things, but they told me it would be a 30-minute wait. Our food ended up taking about 20 minutes anyway, so honestly, I probably should've just held on and waited for it. Next time! Prices are what you'd expect for a coffee shop in the suburbs of West Orange. We lucked out with a parking spot right in front, but parking in that area can definitely be tricky. They also sell Harper's Café merch -- t-shirts, sweatshirts, and quarter zips. I'm definitely going back to try the French toast and the pancakes because I saw several people ordering them, so they must be worth it. This is a great place to hang out, read a book, get some work done, chat with a friend, or vibe solo. Harper's Café gives you all the good feels, and I'll absolutely be returning. One note: the menu is limited, and not everything you see online may be available that day -- just something to keep in mind.

I've been seeing this cafe show up on my Insta so wanted to give a try. I had friends over from…read moreTexas came over to see what's up? When we got to the cafe it was closed, we but were lucky that the owner was sitting in the front of the cafe and decided to open for us!

I had to make adjustments to the time and amount of ppl to the reservation and she was very accommodating. We had an early dinner reservation elsewhere, so we didn't intend to eat there, but they started us off with menus, instead of flowers. So we just ordered a mocktail tower and some of their lemon pepper chicken to nosh on. The drinks were a bit too sweet for us, but cute presentation, and the chicken was good. Then they brought out the "purse" vases and flowers. Justice was our server and flower instructor, and he did a great job in the duel role. We were all impressed with his floral knowledge and we all learned something new. The bathroom was clean this time, had tp and soap in the dispenser. The cute decor was the same except for the lil selfie booth which looked to have been updated for Vday and still up. Next door is their event space with lots of different selfie stations for a fee. I really enjoyed this 2nd visit and would return.

Buttery waffle. Melted butter and syrup crumbled bacon. It's delectable. Now the slutty brownie .... Man I can honestly say since that one slice I haven't had a cheesecake more moist and decadent than that slice from Anthony's. Food is something the world can agree on. Anthony I appreciate you. If you love good food, good dessert, great service and a family oriented environment you should go to Anthony's

However, you'll be waiting sometime for your food to come out and that took away from my experience. By the time the food came out, the ice in my drink was completely melted. The tater tots were okay, a little in the Luke warm side when they came out. The empanada was good and cheesy. The sunny side eggs were a good touch. The bread pudding was okay, could have been warmer. It was an okay experience!
