    Lemon  Ricotta Pancakes with blueberries
    Chand R.

    10/10 experience with the ambience and food options and coffee! I ordered the THE iced shaken espresso, and lemon ricotta pancakes and my friend got the crispy shallot burger. We both had 50% of our food and took the rest home. It was delicious. We had a 1:15 reservation and were seated by 1:20. I wish they gave more iced coffee versus ice, though.

    Prosciutto Panini, peach, Bellini, pancake pancakes, side of locks, and bacon.  Delicious!

    Great food, great ambience. Great place to visit if you're visiting the area. Potato were "chef's kiss"

    Mini Brioche French Toast
    Manuela G.

    Willow & Whisk is an amazing place to go grab brunch with some friends. Whether it's to celebrate a milestone or just to catch up with some hometown friends. The French Toast bites are my go-to for something sweet and shareable. While the Breakfast Classic never fails to satisfy my savory cravings. All the staff is super kind and attentive, making sure we didn't need more coffee or water refills, and if we did, they would act incredibly fast. If you're looking for a more upscale brunch place vibe in NJ, this is definitely the place.

    I really want to love this place but it's always disappointed me. It's beautiful and the food is tasty but trying it again today was a bit of a last straw for me. I asked if I could do 2% milk with my latte at 8am with only 1 other table in the restaurant. Waitress told me it's whole or skim. I asked if she could mix them, half and half. She said it takes too long for the bartenders... I said "there's 2 people here, mind if you make an exception?" To which she followed up with "no, it's a rule." Okay fine... I'll settle for my $7 latte I guess. Following that, I ordered the mushroom thyme omelette, the second bite I took had a full on hard stick from the thyme I almost choked on (not chewy, hard - see pictures). I decided to let it slide, these things happen with fresh herbs. 2 more bites in, another massive stem stick jabbed me. If I had given my daughter either of those bites, it could have been scary. I sent it back. I love their coffee, and the shukshukka (botching the spelling). But for how much you pay, their service is inconsistent and these errors are painful (literally). I'll likely come back for the coffee and vibes but won't be bending over backwards to do brunch here.

    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.

    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 !

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

    goddess chicken with patatas bravas
    Mikiko F.

    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!

    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.

    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.

    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.

    Harvest latte
    Elizabeth H.

    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.

    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.

There's space to wait for your order too- so if it's cold or raining, there's room for you. They're open 7a-7p which is great. It was busy when I ran in today around 12:45p on a Sunday and that's always a good sign. It looks clean and the drinks I saw looked appetizing. The food menu sounds fantastic. The guy who helped me with my order was super nice. But I actually went in there on the hunt for something specific. It's the 2nd time I went in since they moved to the space across the street from where they were. The first time I stopped in quickly and saw they had what I was looking for but very few so I didn't buy anything. l had done a very difficult and time intensive Google search for Macaron Cafe macarons. They wholesale out of NYC and they're the best macarons ever. There are probably 6-7 places in Ridgewood that sell macarons, some that make them fresh baked. And none are as good as the ones from Macaron Cafe. Pre-covid I could find them locally pretty easily. But now, it's really hard. Most of the places that sell them put up a menu of the flavors that's very easily identifiable, and they carry the full line. By googling a photo of the menu I was able to find them in Fort Lee and American Dream and those are both too far. I'd gone into every single place that sells macarons in downtown Ridgewood except RCC and none of them have them. I finally made it into Ridgewood when RCC is open (we usually end up in Ridgewood after dinner and they're closed) and imagine my joy in seeing the macarons there. I can tell it's them instantly. Except - they only have like eight of the flavors! They don't advertise them. They don't have the menu up either, so they only way I could tell there might be a chance of them being there was an old photo of their counter from Yelp or Google. So, I didn't have any drinks or food. I just bought some macarons. And I would've bought more except that they didn't really have the flavors I wanted. There are generally around 28-32 flavors and they change/add/take away every few months/holidays, etc. My knocking a star is ONLY for the lack of flavors of these amazing macarons and only having a tease amount of flavors of them. And they should advertise their baked goods/desserts better, like in photos on instagram. They don't post enough of all their food. I had to just take a chance and come in from an old photo. I know I don't want to have to drive to American Dream mall for these macarons. And I know the girls behind me in line today were talking about how they came in for tiramisu.

The barista making my drink appeared to be newer (another barista ended up taking over to finish the drink), and the drink itself tasted overly milky with not enough matcha flavor. Maybe it was the whipped cream, but it felt diluted overall. On the other hand, my husband's New Orleans iced coffee was good, and my friends enjoyed their other coffee drinks as well. Next time, I'll skip the matcha and just stick with coffee.

    I've been hearing about Sook for quite some time and finally had the chance to check it out. Sook…read moreis located on one of the side streets off East Ridgewood Avenue (walking distance). They also have a chocolate shop next door. When I walked inside of the bakery, I felt transported to a pastry shop in France. I visited on a Sunday afternoon and it was super busy. Service was quick and efficient. I ordered a latte and a scone. The scone was very delicious and fresh. My boyfriend ordered a frozen hot chocolate and a chocolate éclair. I tried a bit of the éclair and we both agreed that it was the star of the show. I normally am not a big éclair person but this one was so chocolatey and rich. It was filled with this creamy, fresh chocolate filling. I strongly dislike the store bought cream filling that they are usually piped with.

The bite I had was very yummy but almost took me out so I'll still keep two stars for the baking itself. However, staff NEEDS to know what contains very common and deadly allergens.
