    They have really good coffee and great sandwiches. There's also a chess board for customers to play and a whole lot of books to read for past time. It a nice cozy place. Simply the best cafe ever

    Great cafe in New Jersey, which are hard to come by. Great staff, okay iced coffee. The food options are to-die-for, and free wi-fi. Perfect for a bunch of occasions. Past 7pm, you have free parking!

    This place is awesome. The food is fresh, inventive, and delicious. The New Orleans Sludge iced coffee is to die for. And the decor is fabulous. Love the painted lights on the walls!

    This is a cute spot to meet up for a laid back date or to catch up with a friend. I ordered a dirty chai with almond milk, so good! I'll definitely come back (:

    They are serious about their coffee here (that's a compliment, I am too) and the food is excellent as well. Small, but well thought out menu.

    The best place on earth. The Sunday menu is the best. Dirty chai is a must. I'm addicted to that coffee

    Order the sandwich that seems the most "out there" to you. That's what they do and that's what you should do. Live a little!

    I wanted to like it, given its location near the station. This cafe has the right looks, and friendly staff, but for me doesn't deliver on coffee or food.
