I came here with a friend yesterday for lunch and had a pretty nice experience. The cafe's interior was gorgeous, and the atmosphere was mad classy! It was definitely a cool place to hang out on a Sunday afternoon. I was starving, so I ordered the soup & panini combo: wild mushroom & barley soup with half of a Caprese Melt. It was a great deal - only $8.95! Oh, and I upgraded from small to medium (soup size) for 50 cents. The soup was very filling! I loveeeee mushrooms so this was a win for my taste buds. The panini was pretty good but a little skimpy. The tomatoes were sliced too thin, and there wasn't enough mozzarella. The homemade pesto was good, but there must wayyyyy too much slathered on my sandwich. My buddy got a breakfast wrap and iced coffee. Although I didn't try his food, he seemed to enjoy it! Anywho, if you're in the area, and you're looking for a quick bite, try Batavia Cafe out. read more

First visit here left us very disappointed. My wife and I each ordered the Combo Soup and Salad. Believe it or not a 1/2 salad and small portion of soup with a fountain diet coke came to $36 for the two of us. Talk about sticker shock. The same thing is $20-25 at any other similar type of deli/sandwich shop. The soup and salad were both very good, but this was absolutely one of the worst values we had ever experienced. The way their pricing works, it would have been cheaper to buy a full salad and soup vs the Combo, which makes absolutely no sense. No refills on the soda, salad served in tippy throwaway plastic bowls that were difficult to eat from due to their instability. Simply not even close to competitive with other delis/Panaera Bread type of places. The owner needs to rethink their menu pricing. Until a significant change is made, the Batavia Cafe is simply a very poor value. read more

Found this place on Yelp, reviews looked promising, left disappointed. Nice-looking place in the center of Summit. Despite the "artsy" decor and the high prices( seriously, can we rate this place AT LEAST 2 dollar signs!? ) it didn't live up to it's upscale environment in my honest opinion. Never judge a restaurant by it's prices/decor. :) Their soup selection is very limited(2 different ones to choose from at the time) and the food is mediocre at best. Visited this place with the wife, ended up tossing most of what we got in the garbage. You can find the same type of food & atmosphere just by going to Panera Bread, only MUCH better and cheaper. We normally leave PaneraBread spending just under or about $20. We left this place at $28 'n change with much of what we ordered going to waste.

Where to begin??! I'm not much of a coffee drinker, but man does this place know how to make a good cup of latte! And the displays of food that they put out on the counter each day... It always looks so appetizing and delicious! Everyday they have different types of soups from Hale and Hearty! My favorite is Cream of Tomato Chicken and Orzo. The bad thing is that when they have it out that day, if you don't go early enough, you won't be getting any! They sell out, quick!!! read more

This spot was awesome! Wondered in when out walking with a friend for a quick bite to eat. I ordered the spinach salad with goat cheese & chicken and it was brilliant! I wish they bottled and sold the vinaigrette they used because it was to die for. Will definitely come back soon!! read more

What an interesting place... I stopped in after feeling faint from not eating on a day of busy errands. I came in thinking I would grab a coffee and a muffin, but they un- expectantly had a salad bar... with fresh, juicy chicken and interesting salad dressing options.... it was really yummy. My iced caramel latte was really good as well.... and besides the already mentioned cool atmosphere, the owner is friendly and eager to please... and she promised that they were adding fresh sandwiches. read more

Everything I've gotten here has been so good! Turkey is roasted every day and it makes the biggest difference for the turkey clubs! Definitely beats deli sliced turkey. I definitely recommend getting the avocado toast if you're coming for breakfast! With over easy eggs on top! Definitely a place to check out if you're in town! read more

I was walking around town when I stumbled across this small cafe & what can I say ? Best experience ever. I was looking for a place where I could get a latte and a pastry but instead i ordered the special sandwich for today: Grilled Peaches with Brie Cheese Sandwich because it looked too delicious not to have, boy was I not wrong. There were so many variations on the breakfast, sandwiches, paninis, salads and soups that it left me flabbergasted. My first impression was welcoming, everyone on the staff was so friendly, the food was indescribable, and the environment was super chill. This is a great place if you're looking for somewhere to relax with friends and take a bite. I'm definitely bringing all my friends here and recommending this cafe to all the people I know. read more

Amazing fresh delicious food! It;s my go to when im in town!!!

Great shop for healthy bites and decent coffee. It's very hard to get good coffee in NJ. I ordered the artichoke and spinach panini on white bread. The sandwich was toasted perfectly and the insides tasted great. Wife had crust less quiche and she says it was great, and trust she would say if it wasn't. Yes we will be back again. read more

A boring turkey and cranberry sandwich. Turkey, mayo and canned cranberry sauce between two slices of bread. My wife's salad is equally uninspired. Canned "roasted peppers". Everything is edible, but beyond providing calories, there's not much benefit. read more

I wasn't really hungry so I just got some cookies. They were sadly hard and not worth the calories. :(

Stopped by for lunch on a cold, rainy day. Their soup and salad were exactly what I needed to turn my day around. The salad especially was the best thing I tasted in a while. IT WAS DELICIOUS - and it was a salad, so you know that's hard to achieve. It was fresh, zesty, and combined flavors I wouldn't think to add together myself. Will definitely come back for more soon! read more

This is one of my favorite places in downtown Summit. The food is great every time I go, great selection and very friendly staff. I would eat breakfast and lunch there everyday if I could. Wonderful place and really nice people. read more

I really love this place. I decided to have lunch there today and ordered the Chicken Salad Sandwich and the Spicy Torta for my daughter. They gave me a very generous portion of the chicken salad which was delicious. My daughter inhaled her sandwich & asked when I was going back to get her another one. Restaurant is bright, clean and fresh. And on top of it all, the owner has an incredibly kind heart. Give it a try. You won't leave hungry or disappointed. read more

I had a great attention here, the employees are very attentive. the food was very well prepared and DELICIOUS. I also found it very clean and hygienic. I had a great time here, I'll be back soon!! read more

Ran out of chicken? No lemons for iced tea. "We only have limes" the surly counter man repeated. Turkey club ok, but won't be back. Rudeness is easy to find. read more

On a recent trip to NJ my hubby and I had lunch here. The atmosphere was impressive and the customer service was excellent. The cashiers worked well together, they were friendly and knowledgable they each had a few food favorites, I even witness one eating a wrap! Although the kitchen staff spoke limited English they smiled at us. The prices are a bit high but hey you get what you pay for. Upscale cafe, upscale fresh food AND excellent customer service it's worth every penny. Lunch time was busy and I knew there would be a wait if I wanted fast food I would've went to McDonalds. read more

Issues with to-go food: Eating in the restaurant is definitely your best bet. The build your own salad option is typically my route, and although it's a bit expensive for a salad (~$10 with no meat). The soups are usually good, but the portion sizes are small. The few times I have ordered breakfast to go (on the train) have resulted in missing or incorrect items. Check your orders before you leave! I just picked up a salad for lunch and was upset to see the in-restaurant portions do not carry over to take out. My salad was about half full and the $1.75 additional charge for goat cheese was characterized by less than a tablespoon of cheese. There are better options in town. read more

Food is good but not worth the insane prices for a salad. I went to Batavia many times because the quality if good. I stopped coming here because you are charged over $17 for a salad with meat on it. Not to mention, they hand it to you and it has sprinkles of toppings. It is not worth the price. I wanted to give Batavia another try today and was again disappointed at the stinginess of ingredients. Not acceptable to charge your customers this much for a salad and have a tablespoon of corn, maybe 4 croutons and 6 cranberries. Go down the street to The Eatery or even Meathouse and you will get what you pay for. read more

I love this place! The salads are superb and the atmosphere is hip and comfortable. Don't forget to order coffee-- hot, ice, mocha, latte, etc. All good and just a nice place to be in. read more

It would have been 4 stars of only...... I almost always regret spending my hard earned dollar here. They might be catering to a wealthy community but why wouldn't someone who makes less than six figures be able to enjoy a simple breakfast or salad without feeling cheated. Perhaps the quality of their ingredients are priced higher. It just angers me that I'm paying $13 for a small 2 egg 2 vegetable omlet. The mushrooms were so minced up I wonder if they were even in there. [cheese is $1:75 extra) with only 1 small piece of toast. Granted it's delicious multi grain and the reason I came, but only 1 small piece? I dont mind small portions but the price should reflect. The egg sandwich which comes with 1 egg has 2 pieces of bread for heaven's sake. So you either get more eggs and less bread or more bread and less eggs. Coffee is either large or too small and no refills. Served warm. I asked to have it heated. If you want a la carte it adds up quickly on the build your own board and the selected salads are quite pricey as well. Again, maybe they pay more for their ingredients, or rent. Ambiance: I couldn't take my jacket off because it's too cold and I certainly don't care to hear the kitchen's staff selection of music from the corner of the room for ambient sound. Now playing..."Sexy Back" by Justin Timb....at 9 am. Next up...Let's Marvin Gaye and Get It On. Better at the health club than with eggs. Next time I'll make my own eggs and find out where I can get that bread. I'd rather blow it on a good dinner. read more

Update - Came in again for full lunch (a caprese salad sandwich). The sandwich was awesome and coffee again good. Nothing crazy, and you could easily be on the hook for a $20 lunch if you're hungry. But, the cafe was quiet and welcoming (and cool on a hot day), and the perfect stop for a quick semi-healthy bite in Summit. read more

Go here often for lunch as it is within walking distance of my office. The food is wonderful with interesting specials every day. (Favorite ever was a homemade whole wheat bread topped with hummus, portabello and red peppers over arugula - hope they repeat this one soon!) There are always 4-6 fresh soups to choose from, as well, and usually 2 or more of them are vegetarian. I also love their iced tea. The only reason for 4 stars is that the prices are a bit high...but it is Summit, after all! read more

We just had the best sandwich ever from the Summit Farmers' Market. Fresh roasted Turkey and Cranberry on multiple-grain Balthazar bread. Really yummy. We will be visiting again. read more

exactly what i needed. you know when you really want a BLT and you just HAVE TO HAVE ONE? well that was the position i was in. batavia to the rescue! the staff was friendly and helped me get my sandwich on gluten free bread. it was perfect. the bacon was crispy, the lettuce was fresh, the gluten free bread was fluffy. i also had a coffee... great! i'm ready to go back... right now. : ) read more

Delicious multi grain pancakes freshly made covered in powdered sugar and a pad of butter on top. I enjoyed my breakfast very much. The place is nicely decorated and clean with a relaxing vibe read more

Great lunch place. Had the Mediterranean soup and it was delicious.! Hamburger was great! I would come back anytime.

The soups here are always phenomenal! I particularly love the curry chicken chowder! It's to die for!.. Also their sandwiches are delicious!

I love the food. It delicious and the place has a great design to it. Salad is a bit pricey though. But I love the sandwiches. I didn't try the soups because I was full but they smell so homie. read more

Great place, great food. Nice place for a morning coffee and chat with friends. Highly recommended.

My wife and I came here for breakfast last weekend, and we had the most satisfying experience. I had multigrain pancakes while my wife had an oatmeal with strawberries and flaxseeds. Everything was perfectly prepared and tasted delicious. The place was clean and nicely decorated, and the staff were friendly. Can't wait to go back. read more

Absolutely phenomenal food! I had a salad and my fiancée got a panini, and both were truly excellent. There are floor-to-ceiling glass windows in the front (I'm always a sucker for those) and nice, dark wood tables. It looks like they sell home products in the back half of the store, but didn't check those out while I was there. read more

Such a sweet little cafe at downtown Summit! Great soup selection, and I really like the sandwiches, but my favorite was the freshly baked pastries! Really yummy! The cafe also looks really nice and comfortable right now, although I do miss the furniture selections. read more

Saturday evening and one employee dealing with all the customers. Service is therefore painfully slow and disorganized. Completely unacceptable. Coffee and dessert are pretty good. read more

Man, I cannot stress how much i LOVE this place! Everyone there, and i mean EVERYONE there is really nice and helpful. They literally have the best raspberry ice tea I've ever had! It's a nice place to sit back and have a meal, and not feel rushed to leave. They also have free wifi which is an awesome plus! Def check this place out! read more

Good food but the sandwiches are a little skimpy. curbside pickup option is awesome!l

We are in town for family weekend. We decided to try something new instead of Morristown. We went to Batavia. The young man behind counter was friendly and helpful. He checked back with us at table several times to make sure we were okay. The food was awesome. The portions are simple but fresh A bit over priced. We will definitely be back. read more

This place has great sandwiches, I should have updated my original rating of three stars. Four stars four sure. I don't know if they're too healthy or what but the soups in here always seem like they left out 3 or 4 ingredients. Too bland. Too bland, y'all. Don't mess around in here. If you're not ordering a sandwich or a salad, you damn sure better be ordering that quiche. It's top notch. You don't think I know my quiches? Y'all know the deal. They make your sandwiches to order so if they're busy I hope you brought a magazine while you wait. The wait time and those bland soups mean no five-stars. read more
