    Chips were just tiny pieces
    Kimberly F.

    To update my previous review, this has become my favorite go to spot for lunch. I just cannot get over the wonderful prices and delicious, good quality food. If this remains I will be back with friends and family many times going forward. Today I got the crispy chicken Caesar wrap and it was very good, but a little salty for my liking. I suspect it may be because of the bacon bits in the bottom. If I were to get it again I'd remove the bacon. The chicken inside was so tender and juicy and fresh. There was no skimping on this wrap!!! The chicken was phenomenal. In addition, I've recently been enjoying the Cuban sandwich here which is SO good. I've gotten it with my family on multiple occasions and it's so filling and generously portioned. It's my new fav! Keep in mind I take most of my sandwiches to go and it's about an 18 min drive home and it's still yummy when I get home. Additionally, staff is always super friendly here and the restaurant is so cute inside. All in all this place is becoming my favorite place to go. Keep it up!!!

    3 Pumpkin Pancakes
    Meryam A.

    Came for brunch on Saturday around noon. We were on the waitlist and seated right in front of the host stand, but no one told us our table was ready until we asked. After being seated, it took about 10 minutes before anyone brought utensils or water, and we had to flag a server. They weren't super busy, so this was disappointing. The food was good overall. We ordered the Basic Skillet (8/10), Huevos Rancheros (9/10), Combo Platter (8/10), and Salmon Platter (7/10). The portions are generous and the potatoes were the best. The seasonal drinks (apple latte, pumpkin cold brew, salted mocha) were huge and delicious, while the fresh juices were much smaller but the same price, so I'd skip those next time. Our waitress was really sweet and apologized for the delays. Despite the rocky start, we left with very full bellies.

    NEW: Fiesta Crunch Salad

    The food is good, but they are grossly understaffed. There are a few gluten-free options on the menu now.

    Came here for lunch. Place is big and bright. Good spot for brunch with SO, family and friends. Service was fine ... a little slow but server was friendly. We ordered the eggs benedicts (corn bread and grits on the side, and the other was the avocado one with potatoes and bacon). They missed the bacon my order came so I was a little disappointed, but happy food was tasty. We also got the caramel mochachino - loved it! The other drink we got was a strawberry topped latte, which was interesting but my husband liked it.

    Big easy benedict
    Sumi K.

    The restaurant is conveniently located at the Mercer Mall where the Shoprite is located. We were able to get a seat without a reservation for Thursday brunch. My big easy benedict was very yummy with egg, corn bread, chorizo and onions with creole seasoning. I substituted potatoes with a spring mix salad with a dressing on the side. The black coffee came out in the pot which tasted great. My companion ordered vegetable & cheese egg white omelet which also tasted great! Our server was very pleasant and fulfilled all our requests.

    This was my first time at this location but I've been to another one. It's in a strip mall with lots of parking. They don't take reservations and we had a big group -13 and it took them 15 ish minutes to figure out where to put us. It was breakfast so that's to be expected. We had to be separated by 3 tables. Everyone enjoyed their food. Service was good. They messed up my sandwich but easily fixable, prices are good. Much more reasonable than another breakfast chain place in the area (PJs haha). I recommend but they should have a reservation system.

    Lobsta Cado Toast with an Iced Chai.
    Cassie C.

    I have had lunch here before, but at a different location, so I figured I would stop in. It's located in an outdoor mall complex. The decor is simple and clean. I was happy to see that the Fall special of Lobsta Cado that I tried my first visit was now a summer special, so I ordered the same thing.I will say it was slightly different than the other location, but I still enjoyed it. The service was not the most attentive, but definitely pleasant. Nice spot to try.

    Shakshuka ...My fav

    Amazing Food and pretty cool Ambience perfect place for Family and Friends Brunch. Portions are Big and not too pricey.

    G.O.A.T. omelette
    Jeff C.

    I liked it. Good place to get some breakfast or brunch in the Princeton area. Inside is simply decored. Plenty of tables so it's a good place for groups. I got the g.o.a.t omelette. It was really good. Decent portion sized too. A lot of variety on the menu. My friends got the shrimp and grits, huevos rancheros, and chicken and waffle. They liked all of them. Service was good. Friendly staff. Linda was really friendly and attentive. Easy parking in the shopping center lot.

    burnt pancake

    Absolutely miserable experience here. Ordered 3 skillets, 2 pancakes and 2 cold brews. Waited 20 minutes after estimated pick up to receive the skillets, then an additional 10 for the pancakes, then an additional 20 for the cold brews. an hour total!! huh?! an additional 20 minutes for 2 cold brews. what???? you just pour it in a cup? and the house cold brew wasn't cold it had been sitting out waiting for the second cold brew to be made. pancake was burnt, blueberries just thrown in the middle? avocado was black, and i don't think it would be possible to use any less seasoning Lackluster communication from the front to explain why the delays were happening. awful, will never be back. what a waste of money, time and energy from what would have been a lovely sunday brunch with friends

    Just Beet It
    Evon S.

    Service was nice. Food was decent for an outside bite with friends or family. Ambiance gives an old fashioned setup but it's nice nonetheless. I'd try it again.

It's not the place I go to when looking for a life-altering culinary experience--I go there when looking to feed my face fast and move along with my mission. I usually get one of their savory pastries or a croissant, or perhaps a pain au chocolat if the urge hits me. They all taste okay, and they get the job done. The only thing I've had there that was a definite "Never Again" was the hot dog--a desiccated disaster in every way imaginable. On the flip side, the cheese quiche has been a winner those times I had it. It didn't take me back to the Alsace, but it was better than average. I had some cake from here recently. Visually, it looked fantastic, and the interior was moist (dry cake is a crime!), and it had all kinds of chocolate on it and in it, but the flavor was just "good". My socks remained on after tasting it. It was like they left the something special out that would have taken it from good to memorable. It looked great, but the taste didn't quite live up to the visuals. I'd eat it again, but I wouldn't go out of my way to get it for someone's birthday. The people working there are nice, but it can be a bit slow sometimes to make it through the register during the breakfast or lunch hours, especially if there's an indecisive person in front of you who changes their mind every fifteen seconds while picking up some pastries for the office, and she's oblivious to the five people waiting in line behind her. Although it's not the sort of place that's going to me primary destination, I'll keep on going here when I'm starving and need something to get me through my trip to the Home Depot. It gets the job done.

It's been around for several years, but I had never gotten around to visiting since it's in an odd location of a shopping complex that I rarely think of visiting for a meal. Unfortunately, I visited on a Sunday afternoon when they had taped a message up on the door that they didn't have a cook, so their kitchen was closed. Staff looked bewildered, explaining to me and several others that they were short staffed and couldn't serve food, but can do drinks & pastries. I figured I'd order a croissant to try them out, but the cashier refused to accept payment via the Inkind app, saying that all the other Bluestone Lane locations would take it, but they stopped accepting it. The encounter had all the hallmarks or a poorly managed business on the verge of shutting down. After my visit, I reached out to Inkind customer service, which must have followed up with the business and they insisted that Inkind is accepted at the Princeton location, so their employee who refused it was misinformed or just made up her own rules. Regardless, I won't be returning or recommending them to others due to such a poor first impression. There are better options for coffee and quick meal within a few minutes radius.

It is located in the corner between Lowe's and Trader Joe's, the two anchoring stores in the strip mall. They share a spacious and free parking lot within the strip mall. Normally, I find most Starbucks to be aggressively average, but this location was better than what I've come to expect. I walked in and found a comfortable place to sit. Using their free Wi-Fi, I placed my order through the app and simply waited for my name to be called. While waiting, I took in the ambiance. This location felt warmer and more thoughtfully designed than many others I've visited. Some Starbucks feel like tables and chairs were simply dropped into a sterile space, almost like a hospital cafeteria. Here, there were comfortable chairs with cushions, warm lighting, and clean, inviting aesthetics that made it easy to relax. Here's what I ordered: A) Iced Banana Bread Matcha - 5/5 stars I requested no caramel syrup and substituted soy milk for regular milk. The result was smooth, balanced, and very enjoyable. B) Chocolate Pistachio Loaf - 5/5 stars I asked for it to be warmed. Often when pastries are heated, they can turn rubbery, but this one was beautifully toasted. The warming actually elevated the chocolate and pistachio flavors. The employees were generally pleasant. However, when I asked about a particular mug they had for sale, one employee seemed more absorbed in his electronic device than the customer in front of him. Without really looking up, he simply said, "I don't know." His dismissive manner put me off, so I placed the mug back, said "thank you," and left. Perhaps it was a one-off moment, but that interaction is why this visit earns 4 stars instead of 5.
