I had such a great experience at this restaurant! The food was absolutely amazing from start to finish. I ordered the Latin platter with pulled pork, and the pork was incredibly delicious - tender, flavorful, and perfectly seasoned. The portion sizes were generous, especially for the price, which I found to be very affordable. It's always a win when you get both quality and value. On top of that, the staff was lovely - super friendly, welcoming, and attentive throughout my visit. That kind of service really makes a difference. I loved this place and will definitely be back. read more

First time here. Received a warm welcome from the owner. Plenty of parking adjacent to the location. Was pleasantly surprised to see a Latino themed menu in this area. Soft music sets the ambiance in the background but not so loud one can't hear themselves. The food was a large portion for the price and dripping with flavor and Latino culture in every bite. The coffee cups are large and the stuff inside - strong! We'll definitely be back! read more

After many plans to stop at this eye catching cafe along Route 31N in Oxford, NJ we finally landed this beautiful sunny Thursday morning at Barbara's Cafe. Family owned business managed by siblings, Barbara and Magdalena. Foods are of Caribbean Dishes and American .They are prepared from scratch by Chef Barbara with the help of their 79 year old mother. We ordered mangu, a staple Dominican dish. It consists of mashed green plantains topped with onions and with salami, egg and Dominican fried cheese.(queso de freir). This dish is a must try, tastes good. Another dish that we tried since this is breakfast is the Greek Omelette, a healthy option and green juice. I was able to get green juice even they just serve this on lunch. Thanks Barbara. This drink is really good. Wishing a bigger container for that green juice which was freshly made. Our server, Magdalena( Maggie) was really very hospitable. She take good care of me and my wife. Outstanding service , had a nice time talking to her as well as explaining their different menus. Prices are very competitive. The place promotes enhancing experience. Cozy , relaxing place and is tidy , clean and well maintained as well as their restroom. Ample parking space and they have also outdoor seating. First time customers definitely not the last. We will be back to try the pernil and other Caribbean dishes. Note: open from Wednesday up to Sunday. They're closed on Monday and Tuesday. ( updated by Maggie to us). Common folks, try Barbara's Cafe and you'll love it. read more

As a City Girl, I'm soooo appreciating the changing face of Warren County. This new addition to Oxford of all places, is exponentially welcome!! They serve everything from breakfast sandwiches to bistek platters. Salads to Tres Leches cakes. I got my tried and true, the Pernil. The pernil tastes just like my favorite Dominican spots in Jersey City! Seasoned perfectly and purely delicious! The first thing I asked my server was if the pernil came with the cracklin skin and it did! Soooo good! It came with rice and beans and a side salad. The place is decorated with Country charm with ample tables inside and some tables out on the deck if you care to eat outside. And the prices are so reasonable. Can't beat that! read more

In this area, I find it hard to find good Dominican food and I finally found a place who makes it perfectly! Ordered pickup and was ready within 10-15min! They also have excellent French toast that comes with a small amount of blueberries/strawberries just to make the dish look nicer! I opted out of getting the salami and they gave me extra cheese instead. I requested extra onions, and they gave me just the right amount! Very happy with this "hidden gem" of a cafe! Prices are reasonable and I will definitely be returning! read more

I tried Barbara's Cafe for the first time and the food was absolutely delicious. My Uncle and I both had the pernil with rice and black beans which were flavorful and perfectly cooked along with an order of tostones. The crisp on the pernil skin was perfect. Got to speak to the owner who was super friendly. Will definitely go back and it's awesome to have excellent Latin food so close by without having to drive an hour. read more

We have visited several times now, and the food is excellent! We have tried both breakfast and lunch, and have not been disappointed. You can tell they have been prepared with love, and they also offer a charcuterie board that we and our guests found to be both delicious and generously apportioned. The ladies who do the cooking and table waiting are friendly and helpful; we look forward to each of our visits because the experience is so satisfying. We found our visits to be restful because the furnishings are simple and not overdone, and the prices are also very reasonable, too. We recommend that you try Barbara's; just a lovely place. read more
