    A really nice venue / brunch spot. I celebrated a friends baby shower here it was great ! Staff was pleasant and attentive and food was good . For appetizers they do home style salad with apple and nuts and hummus and pita with some tomatoes on the side . For the main dish I had a burger which was good !

    We choose this establishment because of the refreshing ambiance and the location. We arrive but had to wait however the wait was abt 20mins versus the hr we were told. We sat down in a booth in a separate area of the restaurant very cute, green foliage background. The servers were good, attentive, patient & friendly. The food tasted freish, wasn't the kind of food that leaves u feeling bloated. Over all this establishment was great and we plan on returning.

    Sugar sugar, honey honey you are my candy brunch! Italian mothers, their children and the Wycoff crowd flock to this place.

    Another great lunch at Willow and Whisk in Wyckoff with a friend. Such a pretty environment. Delicious cobb salad and caprese salad made for a lovely lunch.

    I don't see what all the hype is over this place. Are people obsessed because there's a fake tree in the dining area? The food is nothing but average, not impressive. A glass of orange juice is overpriced, fries were dry. My maple harvest latte was sweet, not any hint of maple. I'm convinced that people have just become so accustomed to average food that they don't know better. You need a reservation on the weekends, which is booked 2 months out, unless you get lucky with a cancelation. Service is OK, but again just average, especially when they are very busy! Ambiance is hit or miss, depending on the day/time you go. When I dined here, 2 parents chose to ignore their screaming/crying baby so they could finish their own food while talking to themselves. There are better places in my own hometown.

    This place is usually packed, especially on weekend, so be prepared for a waitlist! But it is located in a big plaza with a large parking lot so I like to shop at Marshalls while waiting for my table. The restaurant itself is very cute for brunch or lunch. They have a lot of syrup for your coffee so I typically get a lavender latte. For food, i hiiiighly recommend the mini brioche french toast. It is SO good and great for sharing. And no matter what meal you get, get the patatas bravas as your side because the roasted tomato aioli that it comes with is my favorite thing ever from here. Everything else is solid!

    We finally went to Willow & Whisk after hearing about all the hype and it did not disappoint. The perfect brunch spot should hit all these point - good food, friendly service, and ambiance - and Willow & Whisk checks all the boxes. When we walked in, we immediately noticed the brightly lit space, large windows, and a beautiful tree in the middle of the restaurant. All this made the space feel more open despite the crowd. We got the French toast bites to share and we all loved it. Crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. This is a must order. My husband opted for the shakshuka, he always orders it when it sees it on any menu. He said this is by far the best shakshuka he's had. We also got the black garlic burger. It's a standout burger - juicy & flavorful. I got the Whisk Omelette and the bacon jam brings it up a notch. All in all a standout brunch spot. It can get crowded so it's best to make a reservation if you don't want to wait.

    The key ingredients for the perfect brunch spot are ambiance, good food, and friendly service. Willow & Whisk serves up all three in spades. As we were being led to our table, we couldn't stop saying things like, "This is so nice!" or "Wow, this space is so cute." It's a brightly lit space, made to feel more open with huge windows and a flowering tree in the middle. On the flip side, this is a place that attracts the crowds, so prepare for long waits - especially on weekends. We waited close to an hour for a table for Sunday brunch. The menu offers up some tantalizing eats with a strong emphasis on the breakfast game. Since it was later in the day, we all went with sandwiches and salads, but it didn't stop me from glancing enviously at the beautiful, fluffy pancakes at a neighboring table. My chicken caprese sandwich was delicious, with a heartily sized, perfectly grilled chicken. Another couple ordered their burgers, which also looked amazing. If there was any fault, the fries were cold and oversalted. Service is great. Our server stopped by our table frequently to check on us or clear away dishes, and there was no overt pressure to finish or hurry our meal.

    Came here with my girlfriend to catch up on a Sunday around 1pm to grab brunch No line or wait outside and thankfully didn't need reservations Ordered shakshuka, omelette with potatoes, lemon ricotta mini pancakes with lemon curd, harvest latte, and mocktail (can't remember the name). Everything was flavorful. My latte could have been colder. Our waiter was nice, but we felt just a bit rushed to order and to finish our meals, despite there being no wait. Otherwise, the experience was pleasant. The ambiance is beautiful and food/beverage choices are contemporary and trendy.

    Usually I go to the willow and whisk in milburn but was going to riverdale, and saw this location on the maps and remembered that milburn is the second location. We love going to the one milburn so stopped by to try this one. Everything was great including drinks, service, ambiance. The eggs Benedict's egg was over cooked for one and good for the other. Would give it another chance since I like the milburn one so much

    Willow & Whisk is that perfect brunch spot where everything just feels right -- laid-back vibe, friendly staff, and food that hits every note. I had the French toast and the bites egg frittata -- both were absolutely delicious, cooked to perfection, and full of flavor. My wife went with the eggs Benedict, and she was just as impressed. The cortado sealed the deal -- smooth, bold, and easily one of the best coffees I've had in Jersey. You can tell they put real care into every detail here. If you're anywhere near Wyckoff, NJ, make Willow & Whisk your next breakfast or brunch stop -- great food, great coffee, and just an all-around awesome place to eat and unwind.

    Thought this place was good by the reviews but when I went I saw everyone taking the food to go and i knew something was wrong. We got the pancakes and french toast and omelette and every one of them was either too sweet too greasy or too bland. The french toast was SO GREASY the first bite was actually so gross...I felt like hurling already and it was way way too sweet. The pancake was so dry and the omelette was so bland and felt like egg shells were inside. We got the freshly squeezed orange juice and that was not tangy at all it was very bland and felt like they took an old orange and juiced it. We could not finish the food even though we tried to since it was so bad. We are never coming back.

    Walked-in at 10 AM on a Saturday (2). Typically, not hard to get a table when outdoor seating is available. The patio on the right is a bit nicer but both overlook the grocery store parking lot, which is the only unfortunate part. The interior ambiance is light and loudish as everyone happily brunches and lunches. Service was quick. Food was great. I also appreciated the fresh squeezed orange juice, and plenty of latte options.

BYOB and also has outdoor seating. Food has a turkish sensibility. We have gone here 3 times and here is our food review. Falafel is cooked to perfection, crispy outside and soft inside.NOT greasy at all. Filling is mixed with delicous herbs giving a green tinge. Oh-so good! Lentil soup is light, gently and perfectly spiced. Not thick, a lovely puree. Cold Turkish Salad. So fresh and refreshing. Served cold. It is a Turkish version of ratatouille of a sort. Vegetables are cooked nicely and still have a little bite to them. The spices are on point. Unique and special dish. Shish Twood (Chicken Kabab) The best we have EVER eaten. Large pieces of chicken that are so wonderfully spiced (but not spicy). So moist and tender. Rice is amazing. Again so flavorful! They sometimes have bulgar which is equally delicous (my favorite). A special item that is rarely found in restaurants. Chicken Shawarma. Similar spices to the Kabob, small pieces of moist and tender chicken. Not dry like is often found at other places. Kufta Kubob. Mix of minced lamb and beef, again perfectly seasoned and grilled. Moist and delicious. Great yogurt sauce on the side. Thick and flavorful. Kufta Kabab Pan with tomato sauce. Same meat mix as the Kabob except in is a large,round patty and is underneath a light tomato sauce. Lamb Chops. So delicous! Tender and moist and perfectly cooked to medium as requested. Generous serving. Another perfectly spiced dinner. Mixed Grill. Kufta kabab, chicken kabab, and steak. The steak was delicous..tender and moist. Generous serving and a nice way to sample everything. Pistaschio & Banana Pudding. Homemade and a "don't miss dessert"! Thick and creamy and oh-so-good! Not too sweet. Really special.

My home fries I asked to be well done and crunchy but they came out a bit mushy but still edible. My friend ordered their weekly special of a pumpkin spice waffle and she said it was delicious. Their coffee was average. Nothing special. The only thing I couldn't figure out was my brioche French toast or the syrup tasted like amaretto which wasn't that big of an issue I would've just liked to know it was flavored. Service was good as it was crazy busy but we still felt well taken care of. I look forward to my next meal here.
