This place this the definition of brunch and yap If you're looking for a brunch spot that checks every box--fluffy pancakes, savory bites, and aesthetic drinks--this is it. We came here on a weekend (come early to miss the crowd), the food and vibes made it absolutely worth the wait. What we ordered: 1. Japanese Pancakes: These were a dream--pillowy soft with just the right amount of sweetness. Topped with fresh strawberries, blueberries, a generous swirl of whipped cream, and a light dusting of powdered sugar. The cream pool around the pancakes added a subtle richness without being too heavy. If you like your pancakes light and airy, this is your go-to. 2. Hi End Brioche Toast (Scramble Style): This dish was loaded and packed with flavor--soft scrambled eggs, sautéed mushrooms, spinach, shaved parmesan, avocado chunks, and microgreens on top of buttery brioche toast. Every bite had the perfect balance of savory, creamy, and fresh. 3. Speciality Iced Coffees: Not only was it Instagram-worthy, but it also hit the sweet spot (literally). Layers of espresso, milk, and whipped cream with a drizzle of caramel--rich but not overpowering. A great pick-me-up to go with the meal. Final thoughts: The presentation was stunning across the board, and everything tasted as good as it looked. Service was friendly, and the ambiance felt cozy yet modern. Definitely adding this to my "must-return" list!
Stax is hands-down our favorite spot for brunch! Everything here is all so good and delicious. Friendly service and cozy ambiance. They have their special menu updated regularly, so there's always something new for you to try. Their lattes never disappoint us! There's a free parking lot in the plaza. This place could get super busy during peak time!
Went here for some brunch fun! We didn't have to wait for a table and although the outside was closed, they sat us near a window which was open and nice! The Brunch roll was definitely the hit of the morning, it was such a fun idea and so delicious! We also had the Japanese cakes and they were so good and fluffy I've never had anything like them! They switch the toppings weekly so make sure to ask before you just order, todays was tres leches! A little too much dairy for us but it was still yummy so we got it as a side! For everything (cakes, roll, potatoes, and two drinks) it was $52! That atmosphere was great, I do wish they had booths, but it was spread out enough to where we didn't feel like we were on top of other tables. The only thing that would be a cherry on top for this place is if they had mimosas or a drink menu! We found ourselves wishing they did and it would be a perfect place for it! Definitely recommend to anyone looking for a fun local brunch spot Pros: food was yummy, price not too bad, fun ambiance Cons: no mimosas ): no booths, a little warm and stuffy
We were on our way to Holdmel today when we stumbled upon this cute, small breakfast spot, Stax, in Marlboro. We didn't make a reservation, and since it was a Sunday morning, the place was busy, which we expected. The server told us it would take about 25 minutes for a table, so we patiently waited until they called us in. Once we sat down, our server greeted us and asked for our drink orders. We went with coffee and fresh orange juice to start. I was a bit indecisive, torn between the Egg and Rice Bombs and the Hi-End Ruffle, but our server was really sweet and recommended the Egg and Rice. I decided to go with her suggestion and also ordered the Japanese Pancake. The Egg and Rice Bombs were very carb-heavy, which was fine, but I got full pretty quickly because they were mixed with eggs and tomato soup. Unfortunately, the combination didn't sit well with my stomach, but I'm glad I tried it. As for the Japanese Pancake, it was soft and fluffy on the outside, but when we got to the center, it became a bit tough and bready. We were also a bit disappointed there weren't enough fruits on top. I had been looking forward to it, but it ended up being just okay. Overall, the place is nice, and the service was good. If I'm in the area again, I might give something else a try!
A solid Saturday brunch spot :) Our friend was really set on trying Stax so we decided to check it out this past weekend. Our party of 3 waited maybe 15-20 minutes at most before being whisked away to our table. The place has a nice vibe! Family friendly, tons of spacious seating (Nott back to back, horribly crowded), and decent music. Note: It did get a tinge too loud at times, but we assumed that was the wait staff enjoying their Sabrina Carpenter lol - live and let live ;) As for the food, I'd say prices were decent for the offering / serving size. We ordered 3 meals to share, plus pesto fries. Managed to finish it all off. - Hi End Truffle: Not overtly memorable. Enjoyed the mushrooms and eggs which were cooked perfectly. Not too strong a truffle taste (great in my books because I don't care for too much truffle). Wouldn't necessarily order again. - Japanese style pancakes: OK, not overly sweet, a bit more dense than expected. The whipped cream on top was the best part of it, with it's sweet, buttery flavor - Smashed Potatoes Skillet: This was my pick, and if you like savory breakfast dishes, this will be a winner! Can't go wrong! Super flavorful. Just needed to add hot sauce, and it was perfect. - Pesto Fries: So delicious, can't go wrong! As for the drinks, everyone was happy :) I ordered the Dulche de Leche latte (iced). I would ABSOLUTELY order again! Sweet and satisfying...paired perfectly with the meal! We were so busy catching up we wouldnt have noticed if service was lacking. But i can assure you, that was NOT the case. We had a lovely waitress who checked in a few times to make sure we were OK :) All in all, I'd definitely recommend a trip to Stax. They have a vast menu (regular + seasonal). You'll be sure to find something to enjoy!
I thought I'd try this place again as the last time I came here was when it first opened. Unfortunately, I ran into the same problem which was service. Our waitress hardly stopped at our table to check in as well as took a while to welcome us to take our order. Meanwhile the restaurant was only half full with plenty of other tables arriving after us and leaving before us. My salmon dish tasted delicious but a couple hours later I became violently ill and it went all the way until the next day. I know it had to be this dish as it was the only thing I ate that day I'm really sad I've had bad experiences here as it is right around the corner.
Drove an hour to this place on a Saturday afternoon. The place is in a shopping mall and was easy to find. The place wasn't packed either. We were quickly seated and ordered drinks. An orange juice and a s'mores hot chocolate. Both were good. For our meals we had the ol school breakfast that cane with eggs, home fries, and toast. The Japanese pancakes. ( flavors change weekly). This wee was lychee flavor, i got it on the side. And we ordered a special which was churro waffle french toast. The food took about 25 min to come out. Everything looked delicious. The churro french toast waffle was extremely dry. The "Japanese" pancake was defiantly not that. It was like two brick like pancakes that were very heavy and dense. The best part was the cream on the pancakes. I only ate half of one. The ol school platter was average. This place has potential. I would come back and order something different.

Went with daughter and granddaughter. I ordered a bowl of tomato soup, daughter ordered a salad with grilled salmon and granddaughter ordered avocado toast with egg. We waited about 20 minutes for our order and they were not very busy. Found prices to be quite high for what we had. $55.00 My coffee was old and very black and not warm. My daughter's salad, the salmon was a nice piece but overcooked. The French fries were greasy so we asked for another batch to be fresh and crispy. The second batch came out greasy again and not crispy The service was fair. The ambiance is very open but gives a cold appearance. read more

Stopped by for breakfast when I was in the area. The restaurant was in a strip mall and easy to find. We were seated right away. Our server was friendly and attentive. The restaurant was not busy when we first arrived. I really enjoyed my experience! The vanilla coconut latte was excellent and the fresh squeezed OJ was delicious! My meal was very good-Jersey classic. My husband and I shared the Japanese cakes, we really enjoyed them. I would definitely return. read more

Went on a week day morning and was created and seated immediately. I love trying fun flavors for iced lattes and they had such a great selection like Dulce de leche, salted bourbon caramel, smores, and so much more. Food was delicious. Looking forward to trying more of their menu! read more

Stax...stands for stacks of pancakes. It also makes for one cool unisex baby name. Lol. Having only had Japanese Soufflé pancakes once in Tokyo, I was excited when I saw that they serve it here. You know I had to try it. The food took awhile to arrive but when it did, everything was nicely presented. First thing I wanted to see is whether the pancakes jiggle like the ones in Japan and if they were fluffy and airy. As I cut into it, I can tell it's dense. These are some very thick and heavy flapjacks. The taste was yummy. I couldn't get enough of the condensed milk. I didn't care for the whipped butter on top though. I was only able to finish half. My son refused to help because he is determined to achieve some abs. He was very happy with his Iron Man brekkie. Said his skirt steak was cooked just the way he likes it. The pistachio latte I ordered was disappointing. I couldn't taste the flavor, only the espresso. Popular brunch spot in Marlboro so expect a bit of wait. Service was super attentive and lovely This brunch spot is busy Open from 8am to 3pm Daily read more
My family and I have come here for breakfast on Eid two years in a row and it was great both times! The staff did a great job accommodating our table of 12 and making sure everyone's needs were met. From the speciality drinks menu I got the Nutella flavored one with oatmilk and it was the star of the day. My sister and I ended up ordering 3 of them during the course of our breakfast because of how delicious it was. The first time we visited I had ordered the Stax Benny with turkey bacon and it was good as far as eggs Benedict goes with some hot sauce it was a perfect bite every time. On our second visit my sister and I ordered waffles and the tuna salad sandwich to share so we had both sweet and savory. The waffles weren't great from here so I definitely wouldn't order them again but the tuna salad was absolutely delicious and seasoned so well. The grilled chicken sandwich with some honey mustard added was also delicious from the couple bites I tried from my brother's dish. The outdoor seating was very nice on the visit that it was warm enough to sit outside, so if you're there in the warmer months definitely ask for an our door table if there are any available! We'll definitely be back here again and again and I can't wait to have their Nutella drink again! read more
Overall: nothing crazy or insane just a fun place to sit and chat for brunch. Nothing too special but nothing really terrible. Service: maybe cause we went on a Saturday, it was a very long time for us to have someone take our orders and have them come out. Food: Taste wasn't anything outstanding but it wasn't bad. Inside: lots of music, busy and fun with friends. Lots of seating inside and outside. read more

I loved my experience at Stax! They are now under new management, and this was my first time there. I went for Sunday brunch around 1.5 hours before they closed, but I still felt that my server was attentive and the food came out fairly fast. I ordered the S'mores Mocha and it was so tasty and I loved the toasted marshmallows on top! As a vegetarian, I felt that they had a good amount of options still and my server was able to explain the possible substitutions too! For food, I ordered the Pesto Burrata as an app and then the Fall Special of Bananas Foster French Toast Waffle and the Huevos Rancheros without the meat. All the dishes were so fresh and tasty, and the Pesto Burrata especially was plated so well! The overall ambiance of Stax was comfortable and clean, and the decor was super cute. Their menu is vast in terms of different cuisines, and they showed their variety in even the few dishes I tried this time! I will definitely be back to try more at Stax :)) read more
Reccommended to Stax a pancake breakfast lunch place in NJ. Took friends there. Food was good. Place ordinary all average . I did get Japanese pancakes, something different for me. Kinda looked like a brown Hat with different cream toppings. Chicken chef's salad and plain stack of 3 were all good. I gave candles and matches and they put it on the pancakes and sang happy birthday. Fresh squeezed oj Also. Friends said they'd put the place on their list. ( see pix) read more

We enjoyed our late breakfast here! My husband liked his steak & eggs (Iron Man) and I really loved the Ben's Maduro (sweet plantain with chorizo and a runny egg, avocado and feta)! my son loved his waffles and extra crispy bacon (granted as requested)... and i wanted to take another vanilla latte to go since it was so yum! the place itself is vibrant with a beautiful yellow accent wall and orange bar chairs - and clean! service was great! we would go again read more
Stax is a top notch breakfast spot. They have fancier brunch items but you can also get great classic breakfast foods. The place is cute on the inside and even if a little busy, you can grab a seat at the counter. I highly recommend any dish incorporating fried chicken. The chicken tenders were definitely made with buttermilk and fried to a perfection, crispy on the outside and moist on the inside. The staff were super helpful and friendly, which is a pleasant surprise at a busy spot like this. read more

Brunch here was yummy. We ordered two hungry man breakfasts. Eggs were good, homefries needed a little more seasoning and bacon was ok, chewy rather than crisp. I ordered a banana Nutella crepe and it was ok, but the pancakes were very good and fluffy. Prices were a bit high in comparison for a typical breakfast. Service was awesome and staff was very friendly! read more

Stax is a hidden gem located in Marlboro. Their breakfast options are pretty good and they taste very good. When I went I had the steak and eggs and it all was cooked to perfection. The service was great and the fresh key squeezed orange juice is worth the price. I highly recommend. read more
