The service counter is towards the back. I had an iced caramel pecan latte - the well roasted coffee flavor came through nicely, balanced with the not too sweet caramel / pecan flavor. I also had the eggplant sandwich - fresh bread, well breaded and seasoned eggplant, good cheese and roasted pepper. They are known for coffee roasting - plenty of unique blends and single origin available. Will try next time. They have a cooler with snacks and some bottled beverages. Service was friendly, excellent. They have an outdoor patio which will be nice in warmer weather. Small lot in the back, but lots of street parking also. Give them a try!

Quality, great service, nice atmosphere, lots of schmoozing with folks from town. Good locationread more

I decided to get the green smoothie, I was a bit disappointed it didnt included any real fruit in it . It just had a mixed green juice and then ice. If I knew that I wouldnt had gotten it. Plus the prices for the smoothie was very expensive for it just to be a juice and no fruit. The women at the counter was extremely nice and very accommodating. Other then that nothing too exciting at this Cafe.

The staff were friendly and our drinks came out quickly! The carrot cake latte I had was truly indulgent. The coffee itself wasn't too sweet and had a delicious cinnamon flavor, but the cream cheese topping situation was out of this world! I wish I could get this all year round, but it's probably best I don't. I can't wait to see what other seasonal specials Alonso's has to offer!

I enjoyed trying their current summer specials - their blueberry pancake latte was fun and tasty, and their piña colada matcha was also refreshing and delicious. Both were on the sweeter side but not overly sweet. Nice drinks for a hot day. They also serve some baked goods and several breakfast burrito options.

The inside was very aesthetic with all the plants and art hanging around the store. They had a shelf of coffee beans for sale as well. The staff was so friendly and welcoming. They were so knowledgeable and gave us opinions on what we should get, which I really appreciated! I othered a Horchata Latte with oatmilk and choose the rum blend to add and it was so delicious! It had such a great cinnamon flavor and was so rich! I also ordered a walnut and olive oil loaf - also super delicious and moist. Definitely worth a visit and to get such an IG worthy pouch of coffee!

It was impossible to chose what to order because there's so many great options but we settled for the Mango Smoothie, Blackberry Lemongrass and Benito Cold Brew as our drinks. Every drink was a hit and not overly sweet and syrupy like some coffee joints. The fried chicken empanadas were a little hard for the friends that ordered it but not a deal breaker. I got a delicious bean and cheese pupusa. This is one place I can't wait to come back to!

Breakfast of champions: cheese bread + Guaraná. If you know,…read moreyou know. I've tried a bunch of things here over time and it's always good no misses. Today was pão de queijo doing what pão de queijo does best: warm, cheesy, dangerous if you plan on sharing (you won't). Washed it down with a Guaraná because coffee is optional when Brazilian soda is involved. Small place, but super comfortable. They've got a few tables where you can actually sit, chill, and enjoy your food instead of inhaling it in your car... though both options are valid. Shoutout to the staff, genuinely nice people, every time. You can tell they care about what they're serving and the vibe in the place. Simple setup, great food, good energy. Always a solid experience and absolutely worth stopping in. Will continue to come back and pretend this counts as a balanced breakfast.

Their coffee is also good, and I always get a galao (latte) when I stop by. Personally, the pastel de nata (Portuguese egg tart) is just a tad bit too sweet for me, but it still hits the spot if I'm craving. Looking forward to trying more of their lunch options!

The table wasn't cleaned before we sat down, and we were given the wrong specials menu, which we found out after we tried to order something from it. We were also brought the wrong coffees, but drank them anyway (still tasted delicious). However, our server was friendly and checked in frequently, and all of our food was delicious. I chose the goat cheese frittata, which was packed with cheese and mushrooms! My mom had the cannoli french toast (more like a dessert than breakfast, but so worth it), and my dad had the biscuit sammy with sausage. His only complaint was that there was too much hot honey on his sandwich that it drowned out the other flavors. My mom and I both loved our food. Overall, I would give this place another try, just come very close to opening to try and beat the crowd.

Thank goodness, that I took the time to visit Almost Home General down in Westfield. It is a GEM…read moreand let me recommend it before I even start the review. Almost Home is a trendy cafe that has gorgeous wall decor, a comfy couch (if you want to enjoy your order without a table meal), and incredible food. They also have an adjacent parking lot, which was justifiably packed. Our Server was Maddie and she did an exceptional job throughout the entire meal. She gave appreciated recommendations and her coworkers kept us comfortable and satiated. All three of the beverages were nicely presented and thoroughly enjoyed: Pistachio Latte, Pumpkin Spice Latte, and a Shaken Espresso. Personally, the Shaken Espresso was VERY GOOD. It was served in a tall glass and the cinnamon, once stirred throughout the entire glass, elevated the taste to deliciousness. Now, onto the entrees: Blueberry Pancakes (two buttermilk pancakes, topped with blueberry compote, whipped ricotta, and powered sugar). I was told, that these were the best pancakes they've ever had. My entree was the Ricotta Toast (house whipped ricotta, topped with roasted tomatoes, local NJ honey, and balsamic glaze). This was my first time having Ricotta Toast and it was better than any other Avocado Toast I've ever had. The ricotta was smooth, creamy, and the glaze gave every bite a pleasantly sweet addition to the already delectable selection. Almost Home General has skyrocketed to the top of my breakfast/brunch options and I HIGHLY RECOMMEND IT, again. If Westfield is too far, they have other locations (Westwood, Jersey City, and Lincroft). Oh, and btw, they all have Google ratings of 4.5 and above. Nuff said.
