    Intentionally looked up Black Owned coffee shops in the area and Sweet Trail Cafe was the closest so that's where I wound up. It's angled on a the corner of Broad and Belleville (which is cool bc of how it's situated) and when you walk in you know you're stepping a bit back in time bc some of the original features of the building are still evident which makes for a warm welcome. There's plenty of seating available if you want to stay and people watch out the window or post up and do a little work with a cushioned window seat and table. I didn't even realize they were vegan until the wonderful woman stated it as I inquired about the dairy choices (so this was my first time having a vegan iced coffee). I went with the Crème Brûlée iced with oat milk and it HIT! It was seriously one of the most delicious iced coffees I've ever had (& I drink a lot of iced coffee). I will certainly be back to support this business and I need everyone else to pay them a visit too bc they should have a lot more foot traffic on a Wednesday morning.

    Ambiance: nice spot to come for lunch or a quick drink like a hot chocolate coffee etc... they have some seating available. Food: me and my friend split the empanada and the Taylor ham and egg biscuit ... and let me just tell you it was all delicious!!!! I couldn't have been more pleased by the taste of everything. Couldn't even tell it was Vegan! The hot sauce on the side completed both meals although I think it was just made for the empanada. Parkings a little but their food is worth the driving around for it! The hot chocolate with oat milk was also very delicious, flavor was good, and presentation was great. Service: there was only one woman behind the counter but she was very friendly and helpful on placing the order. She made this experience of a new place worthwhile.

    I'm always hunting for a vegan friendly spot that doesn't sacrifice flavor. My youngest has a dairy and egg allergy and on our special mommy and me day I stopped by this cafe and she enjoyed her first vegan cinnamon bun. We got two thumbs up! The women was so sweet and boxed two because she said they were small. I also ordered a nitro cold brew which to be honest was pretty good. I would definitely try some other items and parking was pretty easy on the street. Hoping to visit again and appreciate the friendly disposition and hope to see more foot traffic next time :)

    Taylor Ham, egg, and cheese nothing short

    Always trying vegan places and this has to be the best I've had in Jersey yet. I didn't have a chance to dine in, but the inside was welcoming and cozy. Coffee was delicious and loud in flavor. The chocolate chip cookie and chocolate cupcake, amazing. First time Ive had vegan sweets without the 'vegan' after taste. The Taylor ham, egg, and cheese nothing short of a solid breakfast sandwich. And my favorite purchase, the beef and potato empanada. Nothing like I've ever had before. Sweet Trail is deserving of all flowers. I will be absolutely be going back and telling everyone about it. (Unfortunately only got a picture of the sandwich, the other food didn't stand a chance.)

    This place is the real deal. We had some amazing coffee and the Taylor ham (fake meat and egg) sandwich. Being a true New Jerseyian, but also a vegetarian, it's hard to give up Taylor ham. I was totally convinced by this sandwich. I hope they make it a permanent feature on their menu. I want to go back to try some of the sweets. They all look amazing. Coffee was delicious as well, we got an almond milk cappuccino and an oat milk latte. I'm very glad this place is here.

    Such a cute bakery/coffee shop! I got an iced caramel latte with oat milk and it was perfect! Glad to have this staple in the neighborhood!

    Vegan Taylor Ham on Everything Bagel

    Sweet Trail Vegan Cafe is actually a recommendation from an employee of a chicken shack , and I'm glad about taking on the recommendation. I experience good customer service; an employee is very patient and willing during my visit. I order a Lobster Roll, Taylor Ham (Vegan Eggs and Vegan Cheese, on an everything bagel), and a Got Da Juice (Black Mamba) drink. Before being Vegan, Lobster is one of my go to meal options. After eating Lobster in Maine, I'm familiar with different senses of tastes in relation to Lobster foods. Hearts of Palm taste good though I'm familiar with my Lobster bits warm. The Lobster Roll is tasty, and the chips support the Lobster Roll well. The Taylor Ham is good. I actually remember wanting to try the Taylor Ham first after learning of the eatery (another meal with a comparison from a Non-Vegan time): I like the Taylor Ham, not as warm as the Non-Vegan one I remember, though as good. Got Da Juice is so good! The Fuji Apple and Lemon are the most flavorful ingredients mixing well with the other ingredients! The eatery accepts multiple forms of payment.

    Gluten free chocolate chip cookies

    Super cute cafe! Friendly staff! Good coffee I had the Caramel coffee with oat milk. They also have delicious sweet treats and everything is vegan. Some baked goods are gluten free. I tried the chocolate chip banana bread and gluten free chocolate chip cookies. Both were delicious. I'll have to go back for the cupcakes

    Gave this place another shot to try out their bouquet making class. Communication with Maritza…read morebeforehand was great. 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.

    If you are not a content creator I wouldn't recommend. If…read moreyour party is bigger than 2 people, I wouldn't recommend. The place is cute and nice however VERY SMALL. Food was dry and overpriced, then they changed more than what the menu says. We had reservations and our table wasn't ready when we arrived, we were moved twice to two different areas. We waited 30+ minutes for our food. Got the food and some orders were wrong. We ordered the flower bouquet option and winded up just taking it home because we were over the whole "experience". My overall experience was not good at all.

Unfortunately, I encountered a severe lack of professionalism and legal compliance from leadership. Immediately upon entering, the barista nicely notified me that dogs were not allowed. I politely explained that he is a trained service animal and asked if I needed to speak with a manager. The barista was respectful and allowed us access. Unfortunately, minutes later, the owner, Jessica Troupe, stepped in aggressively. When I notified her of his status, she was completely dismissive, setting a very poor example for her young staff member. Her confrontational and aggressive approach showed a clear ignorance of both the federal Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) and the New Jersey Law Against Discrimination (NJLAD) guidelines regarding public accommodations. If you rely on a service animal, please be warned. I will not be supporting this establishment. I hope management takes immediate steps to properly educate themselves on accessibility laws
