    Taste buddy has a cool vibe. They're completely gluten free which is good for some people. Their service is pretty good. They greet you with a smile and are really polite. We stopped here to get some juice and latte after our hike and picked up a blueberry scone and a mini vegan carrot loaf to go. I liked the scone a lot it seemed fresh and really moist not at all sweet which was nice. The carrot loaf was nice too a bit different than what I'm used to. Would like to try more savory things next time. Cute spot and we found parking outside easily which was nice.

    It's pretty special - Sam was a doll with answering all my question about vegan gf options and where their coffee comes from and alternative milk options. I had the apple coffee cake, blueberry muffin, breakfast sandwich, cold brew coffee, apple tart cookie. I wish I was in town longer so I could try more things!! Nothing is ever too sugary sweet and their coffee is from a local bean roaster and it's smooth smooth smooth! The interior is crazy clean and beautifully appointed ! Always service with a smile and a fabulous place !

    Stylish spot, surgically clean, friendly staff. I enjoyed my first smoothie, and look forward to working my way through the menu.

    This was an incredible breakfast. I can't believe it is gluten free. Usually gluten free isn't good but in this case it's amazing

    Such a great place, especially for those of us with Gluten allergies! Their granola in the bowls is delicious and the baked goods are great!

    I had been wanting to try Liv Breads for so long, especially after all of the amazing reviews I had…read moreread and the positive feedback I had heard from family. I finally made it there the other day and was shocked at how substantial the place was. It was no small bakery, but was a full cafe and gourmet shop as well. Though I did not try their savory sandwiches, breads, salads, or spreads at that time, I did purchase some of their sweets. First, the Chocolate Rugelach were some of the best I have had. The delicate, flaky cookies were like little croissants and were ribboned with a rich chocolate spread. Their version also had hints of vanilla, which I really enjoyed. I also got one of their large Chocolate Chip Cookies, which was thin, but packed with gooey bittersweet and semi-sweet chocolate. It also had a light sprinkling of Maldon sea salt on the top. It was super decadent! Liv Breads exceeded my expectations, and I look forward to revisiting to try many more of their items.

    I have never written a negative review before, which probably says something about how upsetting…read morethis experience was for me. My family and I have been regular customers at Liv Breads in Millburn for the past five or six years. I come here almost every day, often morning and evening, for coffee and breakfast, and my husband gets his coffee here literally every single day. We have always enjoyed the food and coffee and have spent a considerable amount of money supporting this bakery over the years. Even a regular black coffee here costs around $5 plus and when you are buying coffee and breakfast this frequently for years, you are clearly a loyal, paying customer. But what happened today genuinely hurt me. After finishing my coffee, I asked for the usual refill. The person serving me insisted that I bring back my used coffee cup before she would give me the refill. She then specifically told me that "a lot of people like you" have been asking for refills, and therefore she needed to see my cup before giving me one. If there is a new policy requiring customers to show their original cup, I have absolutely no problem with the policy. What upset me was the way it was communicated, particularly the phrase "people like you." As a brown-skinned Indian woman, I could not help but wonder what exactly "people like you" meant and whether I would have been spoken to the same way if I looked different. I am not claiming to know what was in anyone's mind, but I can say how the interaction made me feel: singled out, embarrassed and unwelcome. I have lived in the U.S. for years and cannot remember another interaction that made me feel this way. What makes it especially disappointing is that this wasn't an interaction between a business and someone who walked in for the first time. They know us. We have been coming here almost daily for years. Customer loyalty should mean something--not free coffee and not an exemption from reasonable policies, but simply being treated with familiarity, dignity and respect. The food and coffee have always been good, and that is exactly why we kept coming back for so many years. Unfortunately, after today's interaction, I walked away feeling deeply uncomfortable and no longer welcome. After five or six years of supporting this bakery, it genuinely makes me sad to say that I don't plan to return.

I asked for BBQ sauce and my waitress brought me two different ones because she wanted me to try both and decide on my favorite. And whenever I was running low on water, my waitress was quick to get me more. The Baked Brie burger is my go-to. The combo of burger, bacon, Brie, and fig jam is phenomenal. I cannot sing its praises enough. And their burger patties are delicious on their own- tender and flavorful. And I do enjoy their buns that hold up to all the ingredients. And this is one of the few spots that does sweet potato waffle fries. The best type of fry in my opinion. Get them and be happy. And dip them in the darker BBQ sauce! The place itself is super clean and put together. I've come back many times and will continue to do so

    This was my first time and I kept it simple with the Rueben (special sandwiches section on the…read moremenu). It contains Swiss cheese, Roasted Turkey, Sauerkraut, and Thousand Island on Rye bread. I also added sauteed onions. Overall, it was okay, lacking some flavor and it was not as filling as I'd expected. I wanted to understand and experience the hype about American Melts, but it fell flat for me. It was just okay. Despite being underwhelmed, I am still giving 4 stars because the service was great and I am impressed with the price range. Every sandwich on their menu is under $10, and that stands out especially these days when a mediocre burger is $15+ minimum. You can even "build your own grilled cheese" sandwich. For these reasons, I am willing to give American Melts another try and perhaps a different item on the menu.

    What a find! I was just perusing on google maps looking at what's nearby and stumbled upon this…read moreshack. Without actually vetting this place out beforehand I would've never stopped by. I'm here to continue with spreading the word that this place serves top quality sandwiches. I even reheated my leftover sandwich for my husband the next day and he gave it a solid 9.2 saying it's one of the best chicken sandwiches he had (tried the somerset). Imagine if he ate it fresh? When you order, they even deliver it to your car. Think Sonic vibes. Definitely stopping by again in the future to try more items.

I wish they could offer their masala chai in iced format for the recent hot weather, but understand that it's more authentic this way. I'll definitely try it next time.
