I recently stumbled upon this hidden gem, Amma Cafe. A little over a month ago I was walking around Ridgewood when I decided to stop by and have a beer. I felt welcomed from the moment I entered. The warm atmosphere set the stage for a pleasant evening. This spot felt nice and cozy and we decided to stay for more. That's when we had the chance to chat with the owner and engage in great conversation. So after that first visit, it inevitably became our go to place to have drinks, unwind after a hard day of work and enjoy the last weeks of spring and the beginning of summer. Tony serves the best coffee I have tried in Ridgewood, has a great selection of cold beers and I was lucky enough try some rakia. You might even find, between "meze" (tapas for us), coffee, wine, beers, and words, a little piece of Tony's beloved Albania, which, as I heard one of the regular customers say, is the heart of the Balkans. I highly recommend Amma Cafe.

We came for dinner on Sunday here and loved the food, decor and atmosphere!…read moreVery welcoming, cozy spot with delicious food! We had smoked fish dip with fingerling potatoes, deviled eggs, beef pierogies, sausage with beans. Everything was flavorful, fresh and great presentation. We tried a few cocktails - all were strong & delicious! Of course we had to try honeycake as well - amazing! Not overly sweet but flavorful and light! Espresso was strong but not bitter - great compliment to the honey cake. Our dinner was so impressive that se had to come back for breakfast the next morning to try more dishes. Breakfast did not disappoint! We tried the heirloom tomatoes, breakfast sandwich and lazy pierogies - all exceptionally delicious! Service is friendly and prompt! The market has quite a bit of various products too! Go try it, you won't be sorry!

Came for lunch with my wife…read more We split everything, like a good marriage. And how can you not resist and share something so good. I ordered the hot dog special. It was topped with crispy potatoes string fries. On top of a subtle relish. And a crispy hot dog. It was so delicious. My wife at the non meat pierogi. The dough and filling had the perfect ratio. Cooked very well as the dough didnt have an firmy or overly cooked bites. And the onion topping had such a great sweet finish. Can't wait to come back for dinner. Bonus- I just adore the space. The details and the feeling of calm was great.

I came here on a Monday night around 7:30 PM. I had a martini for $10 and I was chatting with a…read morefriend. We were sitting at the bar and we each got an espresso martini and were not bothered to order more. They had cider and IPAs there all for under $10. When I was heading out, I saw someone with their dog on the couch and they also seem to be some games you could play. The decor is very cool. They also have a TV at the end of the bar. It was playing Hulu while I was there.

According to the Internet, this is the #1 bar in Ridgewood, so I decided to check it out with BF…read moreafter dinner at Rolo's. The bar is a bit on the smaller side in terms of seating, but it has a TON of personality. I loved the eclectic decorations and knickknacks around the seating areas and the bar. The bartender had the TV tuned in to Jeopardy, so my inner (or extremely obvious?) nerd was beaming. In terms of the drinks themselves, I tried the cocoa orange whiskey (?) infusion on the rocks, and my BF had the chipotle paloma. We would both say they were solid, definitely not at "craft cocktail" level, but decent. This bar has a fun + dive-y feel - the kind of place where you get a beer, a plate of chicken nuggets, and watch trash tv with your neighborhood crew (I think they actually do have people who have a weekly Bachelorette viewing during the week). Definitely worth checking out if you're already in the area and looking for ~vibes.~

So I look up this place, Gottscheer Hall, because my German friends said it was classic or…read moresomething. A quick look from the outside, we'll, it looks like some kind of place where they keep really historic things and serious beers. Also outside are these big blue awnings, not trying to be all fancy, probably for weddings where locals use a side I've never been. ​The inside has got this big old wood bar and a few tired ceiling fans above. It looks like the kind of place where old and young, guys and gals go to eat, drink and make merry. The Queens Chronicle has a picture posted inside '100 years of good cheer,' it says. So I ordered all this German grub and our it came all at once, all laid out looking absolutely delicious. Just look at the giant pretzel. It's sitting there with some wonderful yellow cheese dip, and the platters of sausages, potato pancakes, and sauerkraut, it's all so heavy and seriously yummy. They've even got a bunch of beer bottles lined up under these little blue lights, like they're trying to match the blue awnings, I loved the look myself, i love anything that reminds me of Christmas. ​The dessert with the massive meringue on top of a brownie. It wasvreal good! ​If I ever went to this place ahain, I'd probably just drink beer and eat pie while staring at my giant pretzel for a while.

The goulash today was HORRIBLE!!! It was so thick and had…read moresome bits to the sauce which idk what was that all about....

Their produce section is incredible. Plenty to chose from, both organic and non organic options. They have a good variety of Vegan Products. Their beer selection is amazing and they have a bar that will give you samples of certain new beers (pre covid of course) their deli sections is fantastic and they have a hot food area of you wanna buy things for yourself. They have a coffee bar at the entrance where you can grab your daily brew. Their isles are perfectly set up where you know where things are. They have a good dairy section and a good meat section. They used to have a fish section, an actual specific fish section with fresh not frozen fish but they did away with it. Potatoesl chip and beverage sections are very good and with a good variety. Everything here is amazing, except for the prices, and I get it, they have to charge a bit more, but you really are paying for the quality because in here, its all quality. Been coming here since they opened a few years ago, and have not been disappointed.
