Twice I was there right at opening and there was a 30 min wait for ice so no cold beverages. I drink cold brew and iced matcha latte 365 days out of the year so that is no bueno.

I know whatever it's going to be, it's going to be incredible.

They need to hire better staff that cares about the customers.

And they have the lovely patties like jerk plantain, ackee, and more. I checked the menu ahead of time, but my niece and I found ourselves studying it hard when we walked in. So many options! I decided to get a pumpkin spice patty (new to me), oxtail patty, and protein shake. My niece got a red velvet pastry and acai bowl. My patties and smoothie came out in about 10 minutes, and my niece received her pastry when we paid. The acai bowl took quite a long time, but I did notice that it was advertised as being new on their menu. The gentleman that took our order was literally the only one in the cafe, and quite a line formed after we got settled, so power to him! If you walk to the back of the cafe, you will see a door that says the patio is open, and it was a lovely area to sit at. It was hilarious to hear a rooster nearby, feeling just like the islands. The pumpkin spice patty was delicious, but the oxtail patty stole the show. It was also a Haitian style patty, so it was nice to have that since it's so rare for me. My shake had peanut butter and protein in it, so it was heavy, but it was so yummy. My niece liked her pastry and her soluble, although there was some unblended acai in there. They'll get it right. I would definitely return to this cafe, and I hope they continue to do well!

Such a cute, small cafe in Bergen Beach!…read more We were in search of a new local coffee spot and decided to give Highly Grounded a try. We loved their house made syrups - they tasted fresh & you're definitely able to tell it isn't the cheap store bought stuff. During this visit we tried the Suavemente Latte & Raspberry Mocha - both had the perfect amount of sweetness and were the perfect morning pick-me-up. For the price, it's comparable to a large chain coffee shop like Starbucks, but I would much rather support local (like this one!)

Without a doubt, this has to be one of the most enjoyable experiences I've had at a coffee bar ever…read moreand I am not exaggerating. The vibe was chill and barista/owner could not have been nicer. He was giving me little coffee samples along with telling me about the different types of coffee they offered. He literally could teach a master class in coffee. Such a wonderful human being. I ended up getting a lightly iced Suave Mente, which was 2 shots of espresso, a heaping spoonful of Nutella and steamed milk of your choice. I chose oat milk. The texture was perfectly frothy, just the way I like it and the taste was smooth, sweet and sublime. I plan on returning to buy a bag of the local coffee beans to French press at home and try a slice of the lemon almond cake that looked wonderful. Great experience here today.

Another person walked near where I was standing and asked if they could help me. I asked her the flavor of a particular cake, then selected the cake I wanted. She asked if I wanted happy birthday on it and I told her yes. She asked the cashier if she could ring me up. She asked if I was paying cash or card, I told her cash. I gave her the money, she gave me back my change then walked away from the register and went in the back, she never said thank or anything else. The young lady that was helping me put my cake in a bag and thanked me for coming in. I asked her name because she was very polite and displayed great customer service. Her name was Angelica.

The bakery was turned over three times there's a different owner. Do you own this bakery still or do you not? And as far as sky offering me 10% on my next purchase, like I said in my review, I will never purchase from there again. The cake was disgusting. I don't have to lie about it because I could buy that cake and 100 others from that bakery. It was the point that my friends purchased that disgusting cake for $55 that wasn't even worth $10 and it was STALE !! so keep your 10% whoever you are because like I said when I called they said they have no clue as to who you even are and you're on this Yelp answering people's reviews? Lol keep your comments to yourself and about your fraudulent remarks. The cake was purchased for my birthday. my friend called on a Monday they told her to call the Wednesday before only to find out that you said they make the cake the same day that she's picking it up ? So why call 3 days before? Makes no sense. Enjoy your day whoever you are.
