The ambiance was great even though there was a DJ and event going on it didn't stop me from taking out my laptop and planning my week.

It also comes with a fresh salad with balsamic glaze. Their cookies are also enormous, soft, and delicious. I also ordered a chai latte and a matcha latte which were very good but really pricey, basically a dollar per ounce. The café itself is cozy, modern, and lively without being boisterous. It's a great vibe for working or relaxing and there's a pile of games patrons can play during their visit. Service here is also great! I had noticed my salmon toast was missing the avocado I ordered and that was very quickly corrected. The baristas are very friendly and it helps add to the comfort of this place. I already can't wait to go back

The avocado toast, for example, isn't as filling or interesting. The autumn cloud cakes in particular are very fluffy with high-quality maple syrup and delicious cinnamon apple slices. The drinks are also quite good, and I recommend checking out the limited/seasonal menu. There usually is a bit of a wait here, especially on weekends, but there's always parking available. I'd show up early or prepare to wait around 15-20 minutes. The service is pretty efficient, but this is a popular spot, and the tables fill up pretty quickly.

Got the Bombay Masala Omelete which was really well seasoned but felt a tad bit undercooked. Also got the Hot Masala Fries and those were really well made. Wasn't expecting to receive as many fries as we did considering it was a "small plate" menu item, but no complaints. Ordered the lava cake for our sweet tooth cravings, and this one was a bit of a miss for us. This palce is also BYOB, which was nice. My favv and most important part is that this place is dog friendly, so it was nice being able to bring our puppy to brunch with us.

I recently visited Lokal Coffee to grab a quick breakfast while I was out running errands on a…read moreSaturday morning. Upon entering the building, there is a good amount of seating in the cafe. I ordered a bacon, egg, and cheese sandwich along with a Sunburst smoothie. When I asked about the preparation of the eggs, I was told the egg is a patty and cheese is folded into it. Overall, the sandwich and smoothie were just okay. I see a lot about the prices, so I'll say that the sandwich was $8.95 and the smoothie was $7.95. I am on the fence about this place. I didn't have anything that was THAT good, but it wasn't bad either. I can't speak on the coffee because I rarely, if ever, drink it.

The passion fruit tea was very tasty and fruit forward but I asked for low sugar and this was really sweet. For those that order teas at their full sweetness and want more fruit flavor v. tea flavor, I'd say the drinks are good. If you want to customize, this wouldn't be the right place. Also, if you're looking for a quiet place to get some work done, the TV here is ultra loud to the point that lingering is uncomfortable. But the young woman who took my order was nice.

I don't know if the 2 girls didn't work there or not but if you are behind the counter then do something or don't be by the work area. This sucks cus this place is usually consistent. The drinks are usually a hit but it just felt bad seeing the one guy do everything while 2 others just sit and do nothing.

It's located on the same street as the Fresh Fish Market and across of Main Street Spirits on Main St in, I believe, downtown Rahway. There is only paid metered street parking around the area. Prior to ordering, I was given the option to sample some of their flavors. I ordered a small with two flavors: Banana Dulce de Leche and Espresso. The Banana Dulce de Leche was a pleasant surprise, with a good banana flavor that was unfortunately overpowered by the caramel. I also found the Dulce de Leche to be a bit icy, which didn't blend well. The Espresso was okay, but had only a light, aromatic coffee flavor. I thought it wasn't strong enough in my opinion. Overall, it's a nice spot for dessert after lunch or dinner, and the large seating area is a plus.

Estime's never misses!…read more We've been here more times than I can count because it's consistently that good. The food is always on point, the vibe is right, and the staff -- including the chef -- are genuinely kind and welcoming every single time. I usually get the Estime's omelet, but this visit I took it up a notch and added the Creole sauce on the side... then poured it right over the omelet. Absolutely incredible. The home fries are always perfectly seasoned and delicious, but what really took this visit over the top was the fried chicken. As someone from Detroit, where soul food is serious business, this is hands down some of the best fried chicken I've had in New Jersey. Crispy, flavorful, and cooked perfectly. From the music and relaxed atmosphere to it being BYOB, Estime's is a great breakfast and brunch spot -- not a turn-up brunch, but a place you go for really good food, good energy, and a chill environment. The pancakes are HUGE and so good, and over the years we've tried multiple items on the menu and loved everything. Highly recommend. 10/10. One of our absolute favorite spots in the area -- we'll definitely keep coming back!

I'm more of a smaller and crisper hash brown person and these were larger and more soggy. We will definitely be back because the food and wonderful.
