Updated review 5/2026: Always love exploring updates at Bite! New menu serving breakfast all day. Halal & vegetarian options. Ha the golden latte, fish tacos, lentil soup, veggie breakfast burrito and peach cobbler waffles. Busy lunch service, relaxed ambiance. Did not feel rushed. Loved all items, made with fresh ingredients, impossible meat options. Courteous, attentive service. read more

***Gluten Free*** proper kitchen knowledge, no shared friers and GF bun + other options available. Ambiance: 8/10 Service: 10/10 Food: 9/10 Beverage: 8/10 I wanted to LOVE this place, but it's not all possible. It has so much potential. I mean like to come in regularly and all.. too many inconsistencies. Food is delicious. Out of trying 5 meals, 4 were a hit. Steak and Eggs are delicious! Beet juice is refreshing and made to order. Service was spectacular. Now, what grinds my gear is this "fall menu". Clearly stated, drinks can be made hot or cold. Except, thats not true. I order a hot banana latte -- they couldn't make it hot saying, "it tastes different and bad". Ok. So we go through the many with our waitress of ones I cannot order hot, and end up with the carrot cake latte. Tasted nothing near of carrot cake, but was ok for me. It tasted like a latte, and was warm which checked off my box. Strawberry Matcha was really nice also as a warm beverage, however they kept trying to advise me against ordering. Will be back, just not as frequently as I was hoping. read more

The food we ordered was all good. No complaint there. The ambiance is not an issue. The service was the issue. We're a party of 3, but two of us arrived first. The wait staff initially refused to take our order because one person wasn't there yet. I said I would order three plates and I would pay for them. That's when she took our order. When the third person arrived, I ordered her a latte. But she ignored me. Waited until the third person ordered it for herself. She never brought us water, and I could not get her attention for a check. At the end, another person arrived with a check and a handheld machine. read more

The food in this place does not matter when the staff is so rude. This is not the restaurant you want to go to if you are planning on sitting down with friends and family. There is no clear posted sign about a time limit but the staff asked us to leave after 1 hour of being there because they wanted to give the table away. We were not even done eating yet, and they dropped off the check. As soon as we paid it, they cleared the tip off the table and told us to leave read more

This was my first time at the Hackensack location and for a Sunday lunch it was not so busy. We got seated right away and the servers were friendly and greeted me and my friend with smiles. Food is always simply amazing. I have the chicken parm plate which was suggested by the server and it did not disappoint! It was as good as the pic looks! I drank the peach mango lemonade which was refreshing and I'm glad I didn't add extra sugar because it was a perfect amount of sweet. Overall I'm always happy about going to Bite because it's good vibes and great food. read more

Always looking for new places to try in the area. Never would have expected this in a random location. Parking can be challenging depending on the time of day near the hospital. The food and staff were great. If I find myself visiting the hospital will keep this place in mind. read more

Had a chance to visit for lunch on a Sunday. Their menu is deep like a diner which was good for our group. ended up trying the brunch burger which came with a perfectly cooked runny egg and a side of fries. Pumpkin latte was delicious, too. My wife had the short rib omelette which was massive. Definitely a great experience and service was awesome. Very attentive. read more

Tried to give this place another chance. We dined in instead. Chic place trying to look hip with pricey meals. I ordered the Burger Au poivre and iced lavender latter. I went with the burger because the egg item I wanted (southern eggs Benny) didn't come with a side For the price. So I ordered this burger that was questionable. It was over-slapped with sauces and flavors that did not work. It was drowning in sauce. For four dollars more, I upgraaded to truffle fries. The fries were hard; not crispy, or burnt, but hard to bite and chew. $60 dollars between my husband's meal (also no side), his and my coffee, and my burger. Saving grace was the coffee. Doubt I will come again. read more

The service here is horrible. I do not recommend this place it's a waste of money. They suck at every part of the restaurant from waitress to the food. read more

Eaten here more than 5 times. Some of the food is good but can be overpriced and very salty. Ice tea, which is mostly ice, is $5, waitress did not inform us that there are no refills. Spent $15 just on glasses of ice with some tea. Eggs Benedict was $21, tasted lousy. Hummus is good, but over priced. Chicken soup seems homemade but so salty. Think that's it for this place. read more

The quesadilla tasted good, but it came completely melted and stuck together due to the to-go packaging. Better boxing would help keep it from getting soggy. Also, during my visit, my son accidentally knocked over a sign and an employee made a comment that didn't feel very professional. I understand accidents happen, but I would have appreciated a more understanding response. Overall, I hope improvements can be made. read more

I ordered for takeout a hot honey chicken Caesar wrap with onion rings and chipotle aioli. Chipotle aioli was really good! However, the wrap was just ok. Its supposed to be to have crispy hot honey chicken in it but it was soggy ( no crisp) so in my mind i thought, well thats a waste of calories! The onion rings was like biting into oil, which i was disappointed because they looked so good! Also , the mediterranean salmon bowl ( took home) was just not working for me. The flavors/ingredients in it I feel did not mesh well together. read more

The ambiance in this spot is full of IG vibes. Some cute breakfast vibes. The menu is so vast and so innovative, Slutty Chai, yes please. I ordered so much from the menu and went home with much of all of it. But the top items were the French toast and those potatoes with queso were amazing. The drinks here were also really good. I had a strawberry passion fruit drink and it was refreshing and fruity. It's definitely a cute breakfast spot. read more

The food was tasty and good. I had the chicken and waffles and it was good. But I found a piece of hair which made me lose my appetite. My boyfriend had the chicken parm sandwich and it was $20 which is kinda ridiculous because it didn't have lettuce or toppings to complement the sandwich. The food temperature was hot when it came out and we had to wait 15 minutes for the food to cool down. Overall it was good food but had its imperfections and it shouldn't be overpriced. read more

I went here before hitting a road trip and picked a matte latte with oat & a BEC (with turkey bacon.) I was thrilled to find out that this restaurant is halal. The matcha latte was okay it could be better, maybe more powder ratio to water. The BEC was really good!! And it came with a side of hash browns which was great, so crispy. Came back second time after completing the road trip and ordered pick up. We got a bunch of pizzas, a salad and I also got the burrata burger. The burrata burger was so fire, I don't know what they did but I never had something like that. Next time I want to try the mac and cheese burger, seems like you can't order that online. read more

Bite Food & Coffee - Inside - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Hackensack, New Jersey

Bite's Huevos Rancheros for a lovely lunch! I have a primarily no pork diet so finding certain dishes with no pork but still having the same satisfaction is hard. I've had a burger with really good turkey bacon before and now this! The chorizo is turkey and the rest played lovely together. Looks like a lot of sauce but with the amount of potatoes it'll even it out! The food was good and surprisingly it did have a good spice to it. A bit confusing on how seating works because no one works as a host, you just kind of have to look for your own table, but once you do they are quick to help! I had the almond crunch smoothie as well and I loved it. Perfect texture and taste. Honestly both are very filling, so I had a second lunch from all the leftovers! 10/10 would go back again and try another item on the menu! read more

I'm thoroughly impressed by how this Bite managed to make a simple takeout order extremely annoying and time consuming; this was my first and certainly last time visiting the Hackensack location. Since it was Father's Day, I did a DoorDash order for pickup. Upon arriving, I went inside and didn't see any clear indicator of where to go to retrieve pickups. There were customers ordering at a register off to the side of where they make drinks, so I stood there waiting to finally get to the front. I said I was picking up an order only to be told that they don't do order pickups there and I need to go to the front after all of that unnecessary waiting. There is a small stand by the entrance area where I did not see a half-covered sign indicating to go there for picking up orders. There was a group of people standing in front of that sign, so I never would have seen it had the barista not mentioned it. Not that this mattered at all because there was no host/hostess available; there were staff members running around and they were avoiding the entrance area like it was a bad ex. I finally went back to the barista I spoke to and asked if there's anyone working over there because nobody came by. They managed to flag down one of the workers who finally gave me my food. Mind you, there was a line of people forming behind me with no one even getting names or providing wait times to be seated. I have never seen anything like this at any eatery. I have always had great experiences visiting the Fair Lawn location, so this was beyond disappointing. Hats off to this disorganized chaos for managing to irritate me quicker than my congealed quesadilla did. read more

Stopped by for a dirty matcha latte to go. There are a lot of signage which can be confusing. (Attached to this review). The spot inside is a pretty chill vibe over all. From what I expected they keep the ac on blast which could be a good or bad thing depending on the weather. My matcha latte Togo was not as ordered and was just horrible which I'm so surprised because other reviews described how good their coffee was. I order mine with oat milk and definitely got almond milk. The coffee tastes. Watered down as well. Not sure why but I went out of my way to try this spot out and it was not it. I gave a two star rating because the staff was very friendly. read more

Was able to get seated right away without a wait on a Saturday morning. Lots of indoor seating, cute indoor decor, music is a little loud. Their espresso was very well made and specialty lattes were delicious. They have tons of options for vegetarians/ vegans. I ordered an egg white omelet, vegan burrito and blueberry pancake. All were fresh and delicious. Will definitely be coming back here! read more

Looking for something healthy and different for brunch/lunch? Pop over to BITE. In an area devoid of a respectable place to eat near the hospital, this should be your go to when visiting someone at HUMC. Decor vibes modern boho chic and very comfy with an awesome playlist. Service was genuinely nice which made for a comfortable I rushed meal. The coffee and teas were yummy and the food was perfectly portioned, seasoned and spot on temperature. The home fries were next level! Simple, quick and sufficient. Go ahead and have a BITE! read more

Super cute cafe, very friendly and helpful staff, where food tastes better than it looks. This was my 2nd trip there-1st time I ordered short rib tacos which didn't look very appealing and are very skimpy for almost $20 (forgot to take a pic) but they were very flavorful. This time I ordered grilled cheese on sourdough which comes with house made chips or greens making it a much better value than the tacos. The menu consists of breakfast/lunch and brunch items and a variety of coffee/tea options. They also have lunch specials where you pick an entree and it comes with 3 sides for a reasonable price. I took off a star for the less than desirable food presentation (you eat with your eyes 1st). But, I will be back to try a lunch special and a specialty drink. 7/10 read more

The first picture is what the quesadilla looks like today. The second picture is what this quesadilla used to look like before they changed management. I've been coming to Bite for years now and never had a bad meal. I'm so disappointed to see that they changed up the way Bite is. Definitely not the same at all. Quality is so different. No self sit-down anymore too. They changed their chips and it's stale and dry. My friends were telling me they changed the way the place ran while I was away at college and I needed to try it myself. They were unfortunately so right. I have never been more unsatisfied coming to Bite before. Probably would only come back for their coffee. read more

Dined in here for brunch and was pretty disappointed with both the food and the service. My wife's order came after 18 minutes and seemed decent, if a bit overpriced. But meanwhile my mac n cheese skillet took over 30 minutes and looked nothing like the pictures here. The pasta was inexplicably mini rigatoni, the buffalo chicken had no buffalo flavor/sauce/color at all, and the cheese was a runny liquid mess. Slow, gross, and way too expensive for what it was. Aside from bringing the late food, no one ever checked up on us to offer a water refill or bring hot sauce or ketchup, let alone offered anything to make up for the absurd food delay. I could maybe understand if the place was slammed, but there were quite a few empty tables the entire time. read more

This place is adorable from the moment you walk in a beautiful flower wall photo opp , well more like the jungle but still dope !

Wow incredible everything wa amazing ! Can't wait to come back for Dinner read more

Was not really in the mood for Coffee, so instead tried their Mocktails, Ruby Cocoa and Golden Latte, which tasted pretty good. Ambience was very soothing and pleasant, and the Staff were also friendly and helpful. You can order and pay using the QR Code at the Table, which is always a + for me. Giving 4 Stars simply because I did not any Coffee or Food. read more

Absolutely love this place! Food is always delicious, it's a great place to study, get work done, or meet friends for a meal. The service is great, employees are always nice. I ordered a burger which came with caramelized onions, Gouda cheese, & something crunchy (so delicious). A plus is that it came with fries. Also got their chai tea latte which never disappoints. They are a bit pricey but the food is so worth it because of their big portion size and amazing flavors. read more

Stopped here to do some work and it was super pleasant. Lots of outlets by the booths and wifi was pretty good! Staff was super friendly- I was here for a few hours waiting for a friend and they were so nice to let me use the space. Pancakes satisfied the sweets craving I was having. Perfect amount of blueberries. The blueberry mocha was pretty sweet so next time I'd ask for it to have a little less of the syrups but the coffee was good. Also had the pistachio latte which was creamy and delicious. Great for meeting friends, doing work or for a coffee quick lunch break. read more

The place has a nice vibe to it to sit down and work or study. I ordered the wrap from the menu and a ginger lemonade. Both were good. However the service was slow considering there were only about 10 people. I received my wrap but waited over 20 minutes for the lemonade. After inquiring about they said they misplaced the ticket and had to wait another 15. At that point I left. Would probably return for a pick up order. read more

My toddler loved the chocolate chip pancakes! It would be lovely if they added a kids menu. I thoroughly enjoyed their smoothies and I split with my son. The fried cheese bites were good. They forgot the Parmesan cheese and they were very cold so they came and said they forgot to heat them (I believe came right from freezer to our table) and went back and did. I took them home because was still a little cold so I could heat them up further at home. They didn't offer water and forgot silverware. They noticed they forgot honey on the pizza so did it at the table. We enjoyed the pepperoni honey pizza. I believe it might have been the manager walking around who was friendly and observant of tables. It was pretty busy we went sat around 1:20. Free parking which was nice. A lot of nice mention options especially smoothie and coffee drinks. Three people was about $80 plus tip. They played good music. Service and accuracy could be improved. read more

Looking forward to try the mocha and cappuccino of the pictures, I drove several miles to make on time. And guest what ?

This place is great! So cute inside. Not at all what I expected!!! I had the SoCal breakfast burrito. For a little burrito it was packed and very filling. The Turkey chorizo brought some nice heat. My sis got the eggs Benny. Portion looked huge when she opened it. It came with a small salad and potatoes. The potatoes were mixed which is something different - white, sweet and purple. I also tried the chagaccino. I was intrigued by the fact it's made from a mushroom. The description of the flavor was spot on. It very much tasted like a mocha. I thought it was good! As for getting there, the address is Essex St but you have to enter from either of the side streets. When you exit you can only make a right turn which was a pain since I was off to the hospital next. If you're at the hospital and need a place to get food read more
