    Grilled Chicken Caprese
    T. G.

    Good, local spot with very nice staff. Easy parking and large menu variety - I would absolutely recommend this spot. Food was very good and ambience is cozy but not stuffy. Thanks for a great lunch!

    Chicken sausage
    Ray L.

    Great food and service. Came on a snowy Saturday and was immediately seated. I called ahead and was pleased to hear they had space for my party of 4. We had the Apple cloud cakes, the regular cloud cakes, the chicken and waffle and the lamb burger. The food was really great. I would have preferred dark meat with the chicken and waffle but the breast was good and not dry. The lamb burger was excellent! The chicken sausage was not breakfast sausage, just regular sausage, and a large portion! The cloud cakes were also good. I do wish they chopped the apples up smaller. The seating is a tad bit tight? But not uncomfortable. 8/10 definitely recommend!

    Alfredo Pasta with Chicken
    Ingrid C.

    It had been a while since I last visited, but there was definitely a change in owners, with a newly designed interior, and menu. We came on a Sunday morning which was BUSY... typical of other brunch spots in this area. Disappointed that other customers were seated before us (party of 2), even though they say that they didn't take reservations. After about a 40 min wait, we were seated. - Chicken Pasta (3/5): was craving more of a "lunchy" food, so ordered pasta. A bit one dimensional in flavor and too rich. The chicken cost extra. Wish there was some acidity to the dish to cut through the cheese. Staff were kind enough to give me hot sauce to complement it. - California Burger (4.5/5): my friend ordered this one, and she enjoyed it. She loved the fresh avocado and the side salad A good staple in the Edison area- just be careful of the long wait and the breakfast foods look promising. Ty for reading :^)

    Cappuccino and Double Cortado.
    Cristian G.

    Hard to say no to this place. Really good. The food menu is generous, with plenty of options to choose from. Everything is done very nicel, the presentation is great, and everything feels clean and well kept. The space itself is nice and roomy, with plenty of tables. The staff is friendly, and the wait time was quick. I had a sandwich as well as the omelette. The cappuccino was great, and so was the cortado. I recommend this place many times over. Great spot for breakfast or brunch.

    First time to this cafe .. seriously - from outside it doesn't look like a cafe . I thought it was a car mechanic shop i would say it's a hidden gem . Good location . Right on oak tree . Lots of parking outside . The cafe looked very interesting and. Ice ambience . Coffee tables looked very good for chitchats with friends and families . It's a bit pricey though. Ordered Nashville style burgers for about 20$ !!!! Food was awesome though ... burger was really well made and crispy . Spice level was perfect . Fries were good too ! We also ordered Bombay sandwiches and it tasted good . Bean rice salad was ok. Looked healthy .. price wise everything was expensive than normal pricing outside . Service was good . Space was a little constrained inside . Tables were close to each other and it was a noisy restaurant.. good experience overall .. 4 stars

    The service was warm and efficient from the moment I walked in. The ambiance strikes a perfect balance--modern, clean, and cozy enough to linger over breakfast. There was a great selection of breakfast options, with something for everyone--from lighter choices to hearty plates. Everything was fresh and flavorful. The real standout, though, was the coffee--smooth, bold, and perfectly brewed. It's definitely a spot I'd return to for a relaxed morning meal or a casual catch-up over coffee.

    Smoky Tom
    Joao L.

    We stopped by Edison Automat for a late Sunday breakfast and couldn't have asked for a better experience. The ambience was relaxed, perfect for a chill afternoon meal. We tried the Smoky Tom Omelette and the Bombay Masala Omelette, and both were absolutely delicious. To drink, we had a regular coffee and an iced vanilla latte--both were excellent. Service was warm and efficient, rounding out a great experience.

    Bombay veg
    Susie D.

    Popular brunch cafe spot located in Edison with indoor and outdoor seating. From a menu ranging from American to Indian fusion food options, enjoyed the simple, classic Bombay veg sandwiches and Nescafé coffee (sweetener sits at the bottom, don't repeat my mistake and stir before drinking). The chips are not worth it but the fries are delicious. Only wish the service was a little better - while there is staff visible, only one server went table to table taking orders - making it a bit of a wait.

    Cobb salad
    Ryan S.

    I got the Cobb salad, which was great (4.5/5)! There was a ton of chicken on top, and it was a big portion overall! The service was good (4/5), and the interior is also nice! They have a big menu with a lot of good looking options.

    Cafe Latte with oatmilk!
    Vandana P.

    Great place for Coffee and Brunch ! The Service is amazing and the omelettes are worth a try !

    Devoured Pancakes with apples.
    Ms F.

    Everything has changed. New owners but it's not the same. They used to make the best London Fog. They brewed their own to make it. Now it's awful. They had a chicken bruschetta sandwich. That's gone. Might as well change the name because it isn't the same.

    Matcha
    Kierra P.

    Great place to do work and to to have a chill lunch. They have good WiFi and outlets. The food was amazing. The servers were very attentive and the food came out quickly. I recommend their grilled sandwiches. I tried the lavender matcha. It was okay, I had to pay for a side shot of vanilla to make it sweet. The owner was there the day I went and was very welcoming.

    Is this BYOB?

    Yes, but I don't know whether they provide wine glasses.

    So this place isn't actually an automat?

    You're correct.

    Where can I find the whole menu?

    They have it on the Cashier Counter.

First off: Service. I told the employee that this was my first time there, and they were more-than-happy to help me make a decision for my order. Patient and walked me through. Second: The Food. Let's get into it. 1) Cassava Latte ($7.50) - I was so pleasantly suprised at this drink; described as "(i)nspired by the Filipino dessert cake, made with condensed milk and coconut." The first sip, and I was intrigued! It was perfectly sweet, and the perfect mix of that coconut-dessert taste that cassava typically delivers! It tasted genuine, if that's possible. 2) Sinigang Croquette ($5.00) - This was interesting. Described as "Pork and Gabi (taro) shaped into a patty, rolled in Japanese bread crumbs, and deep fried. Served with our in-house sawsawan (dipping sauce)", it hit all the right notes. To be honest? $5.00 for 1 felt a bit steep. I'd pay $7.50 for two, though! 3) Boy Bawang Shio Pan ($7.50) - This was the most curious of all my purchases. Described as an "(i)n-house salt bread rolled in garlic and corn crumbs, filled with roasted garlic butter, topped with corn cheese whip. Inspired by the popular Filipino snack: Boy Bawang. THIS ITEM I SING ITS PRAISES. I am an absolute lover of the Boy Bawang Garlic Flavor Corn Snack --- much more pungent than anything Corn Nuts could ever offer. This Shio Pan absolutely delivered with its roasted garlic flavor! And as soon as you take a few bites ---- you get hit with that roasted garlic butter --- and let me tell you, they are not shy about their filling! Absolute master class --- but it's only for a limited run. You should definitely try! Third: Ambiance - The Cafe is quaint --- and has a seating area that could maybe fit between 18-24 people? It's just along the side of the business, but I managed to get a table for myself. Ayala, you did not disappoint! Can't wait to try your Sisig Flatbread for the next round!

    This is a super cute little bakery and coffee shop in Downtown Westfield. There is street parking…read moreand a few parking lots in the area so we just parked at one, wanted about, and also made a stop here. As a nod to the name (Kirshenbaum is German for cherry tree), there are little cherries everywhere inside from signs to wallpaper. Ample seats, natural light, friendly staff, plus delectable treats make this place a good one to stop at. They also serve light bites but as we were sort of hopping from one place to another on a Sunday, I only ordered a few sweet treats. BLACK FOREST: my daughter picked this, likely because she thought it was a chocolate cake. But it was not your average chocolate cake. A good sized slice with moist cake, cherries, and dark chocolate bits throughout, I highly enjoyed this one. It's perfectly sweet - though I admit my daughter finished the exterior layer of frosting so the thin layered in between the cake were ideal for my taste buds. It was a bit too elevated for my daughter who only really wanted your regular chocolate cake. MATCHA CRUFFIN: This is a croissant-muffin filled with matcha cream, rolled in sugar. The laminated dough was packed so not like your airy-but-crispy-exterior croissant, nor was it noticeable buttery, but it did do its job by keeping its shape and the layers helped give its name. It was lovely to pull apart, with a nice, chewy texture. The filling wasn't exactly in the center (I shared this with my husband) so I dipped a little into the filling (borderline reminded me of pastry cream) that my husband got. It's light but also has a very nice matcha flavor that comes through. RASPBERRY LYCHEE PIE: I love pie and I was happy to find a uniquely flavored one here especially since it reminded me of my favorite ice cream flavor in Europe at Haagen Dazs years back (rose raspberry lychee) so I pounced on it. First off, this is definitely a mousse pie. We're vegetarian so a part of me wonders if gelatin was used to make this so I likely won't get this a second time without me asking the necessary questions - but it is good. As with most mousse confections, this is light and delicate in a way. Airy. Still substantial that I didn't feel cheated out of my money but not too filling. Nothing overpowered each other and the flavors and textures worked together beautifully. There were chunks of raspberries but I don't recall actual bits of lychee fruit in there, though you do get the flavor of it in there. I absolutely love the interesting flavors here and the items I got. I especially am a fan of how everything is perfectly sweet. I have a sweet tooth, but only for things that aren't too sweet and this is completely up my alley. They do have gluten free options but nothing extensive. And I'm pretty sure they include eggs. I have a kid with multiple food allergies and he couldn't have anything here so I got him a bottle of apple juice and he was content with it. I'll definitely stop by again to try more items and get a drink to go with. Maybe get my daughter a cookie since I hear they're pretty good.

It's located in a strip mall with tons of parking spots. The barista was friendly and quickly took my order, but since he was working alone, it took quite a while to get my drink and bites. I wasn't in a rush, so I didn't mind waiting. We were also entertained by some outside salon drama between two ladies. Hopefully they were able to work things out. As a Matcha aficionado, I wanted to try their honey pistachio Matcha. I also ordered some mozzarella sticks and a Cortado for my husband. My drink was a tad too sweet (too much pistachio syrup), but I still liked it. Mozzarella sticks were fine. I paid about $21 for everything including tip. I like the be kind messages on the cups and the black aesthetic was pretty cool. I wouldn't mind returning to this coffee shop as it was a pleasant drive from my house. I'd like to try some other pastries and definitely will have another matcha, but will request light on the syrup!
