    BLT and Mango Tango
    Kate N.

    Although located in the little town of Ho-Ho-Kus, the interior almost makes you feel like you are sitting in SoHo or in the Meatpacking district. I adore how modern and trendy the inside of the cafe is designed. I especially like the cool lighting and animal portraits. I came here today for an early lunch, so it was very quiet and no one else was in the cafe except myself and my mother. I ordered a "BLT" (their BLTs do not have bacon, instead they have seasoned shiitake mushrooms, with arugula, tomato, and vegan mayonnaise), and my mother ordered the Mango Tango avocado toast. At first I ordered an iced coffee with coconut milk and white chocolate syrup, but I have to be honest their coffee is horrible. I told the cashier/barista that I didn't like the iced coffee and she suggested an iced latte. She was really nice and didn't give me a hard time about not liking the iced coffee at all. She prepared the iced latte for me, this time with oat milk and white chocolate syrup and it was a little better. My mother had a hot cappuccino, which she didn't enjoy. If you can't tell from this review so far, I don't recommend the coffee beverages highly. The food was brought to us fairly quickly and I must say it's pretty spectacular. The mushrooms on the BLT were really really good, and whatever seasoning they use does have a bacon-like taste. They didn't put a lot of mushrooms on the sandwich (felt they could of put more) and it was made on a sub roll, which I thought was a little odd for a BLT, but it was still good. My mother loved her mango avocado toast and we agree it was probably the best value out of everything on the menu. It came with three avocado toasts and a little arugula salad. All of the food tasted very fresh! I would definitely come back to Alt Eats Cafe. I would like to try the other avocado toasts that they have or one of the smoothies from the menu. I also want to make clear this place is not vegan, it is definitely vegetarian. I am neither vegan nor vegetarian, but I think it's important to for those that are vegan to be aware of. I do not suggest ordering anything coffee or espresso related. The food is where they really shine.

    "B"LT   Was tasty
    Marilyn V.

    I appreciate a vegan establishment & had this place on my radar for sometime now but I wish my experience would have been better. The positives: vegan eats like donuts and empanadas and frittatas and Mac and cheese, you get the picture. Good stuff. My fav: the truffle Mac and cheese was solid! Delish The negatives: the staff wasn't familiar with what they were serving. On the menu board it read broccoli empanada. So I order one. When I cut it open it's definitely not broccoli so I let them know and ask what it is. I was told they didn't know. It seems they get them elsewhere and they came labeled broccoli so that's all they could tell me. This was awkward. Other con: the utensils are plastic. Not a fan of that but also there wasn't a knife in the place. I asked for one and was given one they found in the back (real not plastic) but yea not knives in the utensil station. That was weird. Aside from that though it's a cute lil place with vegan eats which is great. The "b"lt was also tasty as well as the avocado toast. It was difficult to eat with my one plastic fork and one metal knife. Have you ever tried eating with that combo of utensils? It's kinda weird. You must be quite mindful of the application of different amount pressure to each hand. Anyway go get their truffle Mac. Delish!

    Avocado Toast (with Feta and Tomatoes)
    Stephen L.

    I went to Alt Eats Cafe for lunch and got the Avocado Toast with Feta and Tomatoes (slightly different from the normal Avocado Toast). The toast itself was hard and difficult to cut. There was a very generous amount of avocado on the toast along with a couple cherry tomatoes, but nothing else on the toast. There was also some arugula with feta cheese on the side. The taste was just as you'd expect avocado on toast to taste like- nothing special. I probably could've made this toast myself with no cooking experience. For $10 though, this toast was a pretty good deal. The cafe seemed understaffed, as the cashier (who was the daughter of the owner) was also the one making the drinks. As a result, the service speed was slow. The cashier/drink maker/waitress was friendly. Overall, Alt Eats Cafe has decent lunch food (and the drinks looked decent, though I didn't try them). Nothing really stands out about this place, but I'm glad I gave them a shot.

    Quinoa Buddha Bowl and Vegan Mac and Cheese
    Rena W.

    I came here with a friend for the first time and I would describe the overall experience as... underwhelming. The initial first impression of the restaurant is nice - it has modern, unique decor that makes the place feel like a high-end hipster restaurant in NYC. However, the service was very slow, even though my friend and I were the only customers there (at 10am on a Saturday, which for a brunch place, seems strange). When the food arrived, it was again underwhelming. I got a quinoa buddha bowl and my friend got the vegan mac and cheese, and both dishes tastes just ok. The flavors were on the bland side, and the ingredients didn't seem the freshest. Also, the portion sizes were small given the prices. Overall, I went in with high expectations and am sad to say that I was not impressed. Probably will not be returning.

    Chickpea tuna hero - delicious!!
    GC N.

    So happy to discover this cozy, hospitable vegan eatery . Great lunch choices , friendly knowledgeable service and excellent food. I had the chickpea tuna hero , chai turmeric tea and delicious empanadas to go . Highly recommend!

    So I'm not a vegan but I love to eat healthy when I can and this place hits the spot. Yummy food, friendly staff and a beautiful, clean environment. If your looking for a quiet place to work on you laptop I highly suggest this place. Plenty of outlets, WiFi and delicious food and beverages.

    We stopped here recently while making a trip with you the area and was glad that we did. This is super cool little cafe with interesting drinks and light bites in the heart of downtown Ho-Ho-Kus. I got the rose quartz drink, which is a chai drink with rose water, and it was very tasty. The space is cozy and there're a few tables for outside seating under a nice sidewalk tree. I could definitely spend a while hanging out here.

    The food is AMAZING. The ambiance is super hip! It's a small place, but at 2:45 on a Tuesday we were the only ones there for a while. I got the BLT and my sister got the gyro. She felt that it was a small portion for $10. We ordered the vegan Mac and cheese after our meal to try it out. It's the perfect portion and was absolutely delicious. Super creamy and "cheesy"! It's a bit pricey, but definitely worth it! We will definitely be returning with friends.

    Cupcake!
    Nicole P.

    I finally checked this out after I had been following them on Instagram. Super trendy, cute, but small. I got the Mac and cheese and also a cupcake! Both were really delicious. I would highly recommend if you are vegan!

    Three women, after having to leave the beach too early before the thunderstorms came, wanted a…read morelovely dinner after we got back up to Bergen County. One had eaten and taken out from here before and liked it, so we called, didn't need a reservation, off we went. At about 5:15, give or take, we were the first patrons there. It's a lovely large space, warmly decorated with tables and some banquettes. We chose a 4-top kind of right in the center! Comfy chairs, btw. The menu isn't strictly Greek or Lebanese or Turkish, kind of a combo of good choices from those cuisines. We started with an appetizer called Tinos Artichoke. Very interesting, served with small warm fresh wedges of pita plus a cup of deliciously seasoned pita chips. It's a dip of mashed artichokes with Greek yogurt, sun dried tomatoes, parsley, garlic, feta. S tasty! It's a great portion to share among several people. My friends each ordered the chicken soup with vegetables for appetizers. Quite a nice sized bowl for the price; I love avgolemono, if that's what it was (I didn't taste it), just didn't feel like having soup. They both liked it very much and then they were pretty full! I ordered two appetizers for my meal - Symi Shrimp and Grilled Halloumi. Excellent choices, and they worked really well together as a meal! The 2 slabs of perfectly cooked halloumi are served on a bed of romaine lettuce and some threads of carrot. The shrimp are small, very lightly breaded and deliciously seasoned; menu says garlic, lemon, but they were reddish so I suspect maybe paprika as well or cayenne + paprika (not hot but not bland), shredded feta sprinkled liberally on top. I'm a big eater, but after the appetizer I wasn't able to finish my meal; today I reheated in the toaster oven for a lunch treat! One friend had just the Symi shrimp as her meal; the soup had filled her up and she also took some home. Our other friend had the chicken shish. This came as a really well-balanced plate, with plenty of cubes of chicken, rice, and veggies. We ALL had to-go bags! Appetizer portions, just based on the appetizers we were served, are ample for sharing. Didn't stay for dessert, as I had a train to catch back into the City. When I'm out in Bergen County again, I'll think about coming back. If you live in the area, GO, It's very good and not exorbitantly priced.

Tino's Artichoke is a tasty start - an artichoke dip with feta and sun-dried tomatoes served with pita chips. We'll usually get the mixed grill (but subbing lamb in for the beef, way more flavor). Or, a mix of grilled octopus, grilled calamari and a salad. Everything is very flavorful and goes great with the pita bread. Our calamari was a little chewy this last visit, which surprised me. It's never like that. Octopus is always tender and comes with tasty charred onions, peppers, caperberries. Other delicious dishes here - chicken shish, the steak, gyro, grilled shrimp, lamb shish. Lately they've been decorating tables with fresh flowers - nice touch and complements the candles.

But the Red Dot seems to nail every single dish. We started with the multigrain vegan waffle with fresh fruit and loved it! So clean and flavorful, with perfectly ripe fruit. I do think the fruit should have been included, because it would have been a bit plain without it. Next, we had the ancient grains kitchari which was incredible. We loved all the fresh vegetables perfectly cooked, adding a variety of textures and flavors. It is offered as mild, medium, or hot; we got hot, which was great but not overly spicy, and we might request extra spicy next time. Lastly, we got the breakfast paratha wrap filled with their incredible tofu scramble. We were so impressed by how non-greasy it was (both the paratha and the scramble). We are always looking for food that isn't overly salty or oily, which is hard to find, but the Red Dot managed to do everything perfectly. Also major props to their masala chai, made super fresh with your choice of milk. The soy milk was creamy and pleasantly sweet and it didn't even require adding sugar. So rare to find vegan masala chai. The food takes fairly long to come out, but we felt it was worth it because of how delicious everything was; we also appreciated the generous portions. I think we have found one of our new favorite restaurants!

You leave feeling like you barely got anything for what you paid. A restaurant that once seemed worth the price has now turned into a place where you pay more and get less. The quality has dropped significantly as well. The most disappointing part is that they are now serving store-bought items and passing them off as freshly made. We ordered kulcha, and it was obvious that it was not made in-house. This was not just one bad experience--it's the third time we've faced the same issues. We gave them multiple chances, hoping it was a one-time problem, but clearly this is the new standard. Overpriced, disappointing portions, declining quality, and no authenticity. Save your money and go somewhere that actually values its customers. We will never be returning.

    I was incredibly keen to try A2B Indian Restaurant after hearing numerous glowing reviews,…read moreincluding a stellar 4.8-star rating from 7.4k reviews and a passionate recommendation from my fiancé's South Indian friend claiming they have the best masala dosas in the state. Given the difficulty of getting a reservation at my current favorite, Semma, this was meant to be my new go-to. Unfortunately, my Saturday evening experience was an overall big letdown. We arrived to a packed restaurant, with the parking lot at capacity, which certainly spoke to A2B's popularity. The interior was spacious, offering plenty of booths and tables, yet it was still quite full. We were seated quickly after a short 5-minute wait. However, once we sat down, the waiting game began. There was an iPad on the table with the menu, but we couldn't place the order ourselves. After nearly 15 minutes had passed with no server approaching, we finally flagged someone down. When the waiter did arrive, they offered no introduction and simply asked for our order before taking the iPad and leaving. For drinks, the Masala Chai and a Mango Lassi (made with pulp, not fresh mangoes) were both good; no complaints there. We ordered the main event, two Mysore Masala Dosas with the potato masala on the side. The food came out alarmingly fast, within like three minutes, which immediately made me suspicious. How the food was presented was perhaps the most jarring part of the experience, the small separate dishes for the potato masala and the chutneys were placed directly on top of my dosa! That's not hygienic at all, and to have serving dishes underside directly contacting the food was a bad look and presentation. Beyond the questionable presentation, the quality of the dosa was deeply disappointing. It was soggy and not crispy whatsoever. The speed suggested it was possibly pre-made and sitting under a heat lamp. The only saving grace of the entire meal was the sambar, which was genuinely good, almost as good as my mom makes it. Given this experience, I completely lost interest in trying the Palak Paneer or Malai Kofta I had initially planned on. We finished with the Pista Kulfi for dessert, which was just okay, with a heavy taste of cardamom that you'll love only if you're a big fan of that spice. While we were there, another family in front of us complained to the manager about the service, but the manager looked like he didn't care since business is booming for the restaurant. I wouldn't come back here again; there are much better spots for dosas and vegetarian Indian food. This was an overall disappointing experience.

But the more we looked into the menu, the more excited we became. I would say their specialty is burgers and sandwiches. Virtually every ingredient is made from scratch daily (except the sourdough bread, from a local farm), including impressive items like multiple types of burger patty and cheesy cashew sauce. We were so excited about their food that we went three days in a row! Day 1: The Fogwood smoky burger was outstanding. The BLT was also delicious; we loved the smoke salted tofu. For a lighter option, we got the sunshine curry quinoa chickpea bowl. It was healthy and nutritious, although I felt the flavor profile was a bit off; it was heavy on the curry powder and weirdly sweet. The side of mac and cheese was GREAT. We loved the sauce made from sweet potatoes, carrots, and cashews (I think it was oil-free). Not heavy or creamy, just flavorful and good! For dessert, we got the lavender almond cupcake which we LOVED. It was gluten-free, although you wouldn't guess it. It had a perfect fluffy texture and great nuanced flavor. We loved that it wasn't made with coconut oil (just olive oil). Truly special. The vast majority of their desserts (as well as their homemade cheeses) do contain coconut oil. Day 2: The patty melt sandwich was a big hit. Incredible flavor. The Levi Reuben served over greens (instead of on bread) was also delicious. We loved the fennel sage patty and the homemade sauerkraut. We got the kids' PB&J as a snack which was SO good with homemade peanut butter and homemade raspberry jam. Very impressive. Lastly, we couldn't resist getting the signature Snickers-inspired bar, which was so good it should be illegal. Day 3: We were excited to try their daily special, the teriyaki chili rice bowl, made with homemade ginger tofu patties. It was delicious, although it could have used some greens. We tried two more of their burgers to explore the menu further, the flirty burger and the teriyaki burger, and both were great. A devastating disappointment came when, even though we walked in within 10 minutes of their opening, they had already sold out of the special dessert advertised on their Instagram, the carrot spice cupcake with pecan glaze, the only dessert they had that was coconut-free. It seems like they inexplicably only make 4-6 cupcakes per day and then don't make more even if they sell out?! (Who does that??) Overall, we loved the food and are so glad they exist. Major props for making so many things from scratch. We really appreciated how nothing was fried or greasy, really hard to find these days. They also deserve special mention for having top-notch service. All the employees were so kind and accommodating, and every dish came out quickly and made to perfection. The vibe of the restaurant is really peaceful and would be an equally good spot to have a quick meal or to linger all day.

    This was my first time coming back to Turf, Surf and Earth since their new menu change. I walked in…read moreat 11am and went up to the kiosk, and realized that only breakfast items were available. I wanted to try something from the lunch menu, after asking an employee, I was told that lunch starts at 11:30am. So I came back around that time to order. I've been seeing their Big Mack Smash on social media for some time now, and it looks delicious. So I decided to I order their single patty Big Mack Smash, with angus meat and American cheese, on a plant based white bun. I don't care for sesame seeds on buns, and there was no option for a regular burger bun (without sesame seeds), so I chose the non sesame seed vegan bun. I also ordered a side of fries with garlic aioli. The plant based white bun was a little dry and the burger patty was also dry and did not have much flavor. Maybe I should have done a double patty for the burger, since it is a smashed patty and a little too thin for my liking. I felt like I was eating a dry burger bun with mostly lettuce, an occasional pickle and the Mack sauce. I probably will not order the garlic aioli again, it had a sweeter and nutty flavor to it, and I prefer more of a savory aioli. I used to order their Blackened salmon with a side of greens and Spanish rice in their BBQ Ranch flavor style, from their old menu. I do miss that meal, it was so flavorful with the crispy onions to top everything off. But I understand that they made the change to better suit the business and cut back on waste. I probably would not order the big Mack burger again. But I will definitely be back to try something else from the new menu. I've been a customer for over 6 years, and have introduced some of my family members and friends to this restaurant, and we've enjoyed our meals here for that time. I love that there are many vegan and vegetarian options here. Although I am neither, it's a great place for those who have dietary restrictions/preferences. Hopefully I find my new go to menu item soon, but in the meantime I will be ordering and trying many of the other new menu items. This is definitely the place to come if you don't want a typical vegan meal. You'd be like a kid in a candy store, with the amount of options that are here. They also have many non vegan options. Turf, Surf and Earth serves EVERYONE and that is their biggest positive!

    My girlfriend and I visited Tasty Junction for an early dinner one Saturday. They weren't too busy…read moreso it was easy to find a table for 2. Once you sit down you scan a QR Code to order your food and drinks. I was pretty hungry that day so we ended up ordering a ton of food. The drinks were pretty good and they were served in Le Creuset mugs. Not the biggest deal, but I can appreciate some nice drinkware. The bowl of Kimchi Fried rice came out first. It was a generous portion and the rice was cooked well, but I feel like it could've used some more kimchi. The eggs on top were cooked perfectly and added good texture to the dish. The next dish to come out was the HK French toast. The bread was nice and fluffy which paired well with a nice generous drizzle of condensed milk. I enjoyed this a lot. We also ordered scallion pancake, pork barbecue, and bossam baos. These were ok, I would probably pass on a return visit. I felt like the meat in the baos was a little tough though they did have decent flavor. The last entree was the smoked salmon and avocado croissant; I really enjoyed this. It had a generous helping of smoked salmon and avocado as well. The saltiness of the salmon paired well with the creamy and fatty avocado. The croissant was also nice and flaky. It was also served with a house salad which had a nice drizzle of dressing on it too. For dessert we ordered a Black Sesame Souffle Pancake. This was SO good. A few months ago I visited a place in Princeton that specialized in these Japanese-style pancakes and Tasty Junction's version was so much more enjoyable. I loved that it was served with a healthy scoop of ice cream. The pancake was airy and had a bounce to it. Each bite was so good and made even better with the ice cream. I'd definitely come back just for the pancakes. All in all Tasty Junction is a great spot tucked away in Glen Rock
