When…read morehe finally arrived, being from the area, he suggested we have breakfast at the Coffee Shop. Yes, it is called the Coffee Shop. With such a large breakfast and lunch menu, it should be called something else like "Where Everybody knows Your Name". I could not believe all the high fives flying around. It's a relatively small shop with both booth and counter service. Clean with pictures covering one wall. I ordered the waffle with honey and assorted fruit ($10.00) and a cup of coffee ($2.75). Yes, it was sweet but that is why I ordered it. I have to say it was also delicious. If ever I'm in the area at lunchtime, I'm going to order the pastrami sandwich ($18). It is loaded with pastrami.

Delicious, no frills coffee experience with a side of character. Located across the driveway from…read morethe Claremont Tavern, inside of the house-looking building that is also part of The Bearded Dragon, Goldfinch is a gem of coffee bar. It's just one guy, Gabriel, but he runs a good show. I really enjoy the beans he selects. Often he will offer a shot of what he is brewing today to see if you'll like it. Latte, flat white, cortado, cappuccino - it's all good. The owner is friendly and social, and if you stop in on a weekend morning you'll likely see kids playing card games while their parents watch. It's intimate and social in way that is extremely rare in 2025. If you're shopping for a board game, card game, or gift at the Dragon, you should stop in. If you live in the area, think about making it part of your weekend morning routine. Hours are changing soon to be weekend only, so keep an eye out and don't show up when they're closed!

The music was nice and there's lots of natural sunlight. I hope to return soon!

Did I go to a place called Fresh Press Juice and only get the sandwich? Was this a great sandwich??…read moreYES. After much contemplation and thinking I'd be walking out with a big salad, I ended up getting the curried chickpea salad wrap and LOVED it. It was premade in the fridge and I would get it again today if I were closer. The chickpeas, olive oil, mustard and vegan mayo made up the actual chickpea salad and it mixed so well with the apples and cranberries. The perfect combo of curry flavoring and sweetness. Also loved the crunch from the lettuce. Can't wait to come back for this exact sandwich but also will make sure to get a juice on my next visit.

This popular cafe is located right in the heart of Basking Ridge. It's small inside but there's outdoor seating also. We had a half hour wait for a table inside. The place has a very cozy feel to it and everyone we met who worked here was very friendly. I started my meal with a Vanilla Chai Latte and my wife had a Macha Latte. My wife ordered the Blintzes with blueberries and I had the Paris Morning breakfast. We both loved the food! My dish came with 2 potato pancakes, 2 poached eggs, and smoked salmon. Just delicious! A cool bit of trivia is that Paul McCartney and his wife stopped in here a few years ago. We didn't see Paul today, but we did enjoy the experience!

It was very busy yesterday around 11:30 am. When we finally got seated, the place did not disappoint. We first ordered macchiato, cappuccino, and lemonade, the coffee was strong and great! We ordered two American breakfast and Warsaw breakfast. One of the American was scrambled eggs and the other was egg over medium. The sausage was very tasty. It was not salty and the bacon was a little thick, and it was also not your typical salty bacon. The sausage was delicious and the bacon was nice and crunchy. The side potatoes were so delicious with onions and peppers. I finished all of mine. It was perfectly seasoned and not salty so eating this brunch was such a joy. The side roll was also delicious with butter. It looked like a sesame and wheat roll. It made it even so more enjoyable. The Warsaw breakfast was on a very hot small iron skillet. The Kabasa was delicious and it was typical on the salty side. The breakfast potato was delicious with the Warsaw breakfast, it had small cherry tomatoes with the potatoes. We also ordered two side pancakes. The pancakes were not as fluffy, but it was very good. It was on the expensive side for one pancake. It was around five dollars. Overall this breakfast restaurant was awesome. Small with a lot of character inside. The service was quick and on point.
