Did a take out from here , and got the chicken waffles of the brunch menu. Chicken was nice , not really hot, but had good seasoning to it. The waffle wasn't my favorite, but still decent.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
I absolutely love this place! The food is incredibly flavorful, and you can tell that everything is prepared with care. Every dish I've tried has been delicious, and their drinks are also really good. The staff is always warm and welcoming, and they never make you feel rushed, even when the restaurant is busy. You can tell that they genuinely care about the quality of their food and the overall dining experience. I always look forward to coming back.
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.
***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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Stopped by Bite Food & Coffee on a Wednesday morning around 7:45am - there were only a few people in the cafe so early in the morning. Love the atmosphere and decor of the cafe, so spacious with many seating options available. The cafe has two clean bathrooms in the back, many outlets under the seats, good fast wifi, a parking lot, nice workers, and a large variety of breakfast and lunch options on the menu. I ordered the Trop acai smoothie bowl ($10) and Avo Power shake ($8) - a nice big refreshing breakfast made on the spot. I love avocado and acai! If I lived closer to this modern and chic cafe, I could definitely see myself coming here every week. Eat Y'all! read more

Bite is a cute and trendy spot for a casual lunch or dinner. They have a lot of great options and are very accommodating to customers' needs. I don't know why it took me so long to come here but I'm happy that I finally did. We both ordered the bite burger. I'm on a low carb diet and I was able to get mine in a lettuce bun. The burger comes with smoked gouda, sautéed onions, crispy shallot, pickles, special sauce. The special sauce was like a chipotle mayo. Overall, the burger was delicious! I highly recommend coming here if you're looking for a bite to eat. (No pun intended!) read more
I'd take a BITE out of this place anytime. My husband found Bite on Yelp (he's the always hungry one lol) while looking for places that had something I'd eat. He mentioned to me several times and we never made it over together until this past weekend. This place is a VIBE From the photo op entryway to the music and stereo system in the back to the greenery all around and art. I could just sit up in this place and sip green juice, munch on avocado tacos wrapped in lettuce while working and people watching. The staff is very friendly and provide great input when asked about food when ordering. My husband had a burger with turkey bacon, our boys had a cheese pizza, I had avocado tacos and for the table we ordered the avocado quesadillas. The boys pizza was very thin and cheesy just how they like it. There was fresh basil nested into the cheese as well. The avocado tacos were so good, I had two on corn tortillas and one on lettuce as the order comes with 3 tacos and you can mix and match the shells. They were so good that I wish the order came with 6. The avocado quesadillas were amazing they were filled with bell peppers, onions, etc.. my husband really enjoyed his turkey burger. We ordered two green juices as well and they were tasty. Be prepared to get your own water and utensils and such but don't think that the staff wouldn't get them for you as they are so easy going they would go set you up if asked. read more

Another place I discovered on Uber Eats and really love. They have a good variety of options, most of which are fresh and "healthy." I order from them now at least once a week for lunch because I love their bowls and sandwiches. Their smoothies are a great after a workout and they make great coffee too. Their pizza is good but I see it as more of flatbread than pizza. Their burgers are decent but I would get again. Have not tried their tacos yet but looking forward to soon. I stopped by this location only once by chance while driving by Hackensack and was surprise to see how well designed it was. It felt like a trendy cafe you would find in Brooklyn or LA. The staff is really friendly and welcoming. read more

Not the cheapest food around but the items I have gotten so far were very good and cannot complain about flavor and value. So far have tried the nash sandwich (very flavorful and filling), chicken cobb salad (very filling), avocado fries (interesting and healthy alternative to regular fries), chimichurri steak farmer's bowl (very flavorful), house chips ($3 for fresh potato chips), and green smoothie (tasty). I appreciate their online ordering system and contactless pick up system. It gets busy during breakfast and lunch since it's across hackensack hospital so best to place a pick up order instead read more
This little gem is amazing! It is different from any food establishment in the area, and always packed during lunch hour. Everything I've had from the breakfast food to lunch did not disappoint so far. It is a bit over priced, but the ambiance makes up for it. There is plenty of seating available and is Instagram worthy. I would suggest to go during off peak hours so as not to get overwhelmed. Ok so let's get down to the food. My first visit with a friend included an order of chicken quesadillas and burger with sweet potato fries, delish! Another day for breakfast and we had an egg and cheese with turkey sausage on brioche bun, and avocado toast. My friend also had the green juice but she did not like it as it tasted like straight celery. We also opted for the Nutella bowl with coconut and strawberries. It tasted great, but my friend pointed out that it's supposed to be more liquidy and not frozen as ours was. Overall, it's a must visit. read more

Once upon a Sunday afternoon, October 10th to be exact at 3:10 pm I stopped by this cute restaurant called Bite. After making my selection of Goodness Greens ($10) and added grill salmon ($6), I took my number and politely sat down to wait for someone to deliver my food to my table. Let me tell you about the salad. Greens, lots of greens, baby spinach, roasted corn, avocado, tortilla strips, red onion, cherry tomatoes and goodness dressing. The first bite tells you to go for the second, third, fourth, tenth, twenty something until it is all gone. By the second bite, I ask for an extra dressing, yummy. Customer service was friendly and efficient. I will be back.

A friend of mine kept raving about this places truffle fries & I was NOT disappointed. Well worth the trip! I ended up ordering them twice. Second time I asked for extra truffle oil & Parmesan. They also come with a sriracha aioli dipping sauce. Sooooo gooood!! Cant wait until the next time I have an excuse to come this way. Plus there are other things on their menu I wanna try. By the way, the truffle fries are called 'Truffle Shuffle.' read more

I went there & was rushed off n offered to go containers when asked to reheat food or matcha latte as a disabled military veteran student with dislocated leg treated horrible & felt unwanted, very unprofessional! Toilet was clogged also n 6 customers complained they did nothing could care less smh , very unprofessional & if your going there as a cafe or to study instead of treating it as a restaurant then the employees will hate you there! Spend under $12 per transaction on items and tip 18% they will hate you!!! Sad to say but very true n blatant more restaurant vibe by employees then cafe read more

The cutest breakfast brunch or lunch spot! Food is soooo good. Ordered the vegan burger, avocado fries, matcha latte and the goat salad and they were all delicious! Absolutely coming back! They also have the cutest "eat ya'll" neon sign green wall in the front. Super gram worthy read more

This restaurant never responds to any inquiries, often removes and substitutes ingredients from orders without informing the customer or at least asking about any allergies, and is completely unapologetic about it when confronted. I expect better from any restaurant, but especially one that advertises itself as serving people who are gluten conscious and vegan, and with its high prices. read more

Got delivery for lunch today and was pretty underwhelmed by the food. The delivery was 15 min late and the food was lukewarm by the time we received it. We ordered a Burrata burger, Bite burger, Fish tacos, and Avocado fries. The Bite burger was probably the best thing we ordered. I wanted it cooked medium and it came medium. So that's good. The fish tacos were below average. The tortilla wasn't soft and the fish was flavorless. The Burrata burger and avocado fries were ok, but not great by any means. Prices are on the high side IMO. Unlikely we'll order from here again read more

The ambiance is very chill. My boyfriend and I ordered the Mac & Cheese Buffalo Chicken Skillet ($13) Braised Brisket Tacos ($13) and Chimichurri Steak Farmers Bowl ($15). The tacos came with chipotle bbq, pickled onion, cilantro, and cotija. These were flavorful and good; however, they were made with corn tortillas, and I prefer flour. We ordered or bowl with curried cauliflower, maple butternut squash, and sea salt flaked half avocado. This was my least favorite dish. It is on the healthier side, and it just wasn't doing it for me. I also thought we got little steak for the amount paid. Moving on to the Mac & Cheese Buffalo Chicken Skillet. ALL THE YES! If you do pop in here and like mac & cheese, I highly recommend it. Significant portion and filling! read more
This is an unique and interesting trendy café. I tried the Cobb Salad with Chimichurri steak ($18) and the Small Pharma ($6) juice which were both delicious. The prices are high, but the quality is very good. I would like to try it again. read more

Get the Mac and cheese as well as the burger. The place is super aesthetic! Great for studying read more
My husband and I had a bite to eat here at Bite food and coffee after a doctors visit in the same building. Actually, it was very open and cheery inside. They do observe Covid restrictions with tables being separated and food being picked up by the patron instead of having it delivered to the table. Although the food is pricey, it was fresh and delicious. It was also hearty. The nine dollar pizza was basically a half of a large pizza delivered in a very long rectangular box. I had the fish tacos which came in a container. The shell was soft and cold, but the food inside was very tasty. I noticed lots of outlets around to charge your phone. You must bring an actual plug to do that. This was the perfect place to enjoy a quick bite to eat. Also the Coffee was delicious. There was a small parking lot in front which you are able to use. read more
Came for breakfast. Delicious and fresh food and friendly service. Had the everything bagel with chive cream cheese, the Avo with fried avocado inside, and the scrambled out, which is a burrito stuffed with eggs, kale and mushroom. Everything was good. I thought the scrambled out burrito was a bit too bland and needed more salt and flavor but it was very good nonetheless. Their coffee and hot chocolate were pretty good as well. Cozy and comfortable ambiance. Definitely recommend read more
I came here today with a friend for lunch. I had a chicken snitzel salad with warm pita bread. It was absolutely delicious. This is a cozy well ventilated restaurant with reasonably priced eats. We didn't have to wait a long time for our food and they was socially distant seating available. I highly recommend this restaurant. read more

Well here's my two cents.. don't come here for the service. You won't get any - like at all. The place is QR code only, so you miss out on the interaction with employees. You walk in and they just look at you. Can't get any recommendations or anything. On top of that, no one here even says hello or goodbye. Literally zero guest engagement or customer service. We've been here twice - once for the food and once for the coffee. To me the coffee was average. Nothing really stood out. The good thing about the food is the vegan options. Hard to come by in the area. But way too expensive. Overall wouldn't recommend. read more

I come here everytime I have to stop by the Bergen county court house for work, it's right up the street! I usually get the avocado toast and I LOVE the small pharma juice with the cayenne pepper on top. I've occasionally switched it up and got a mocha latte but I really prefer the pharma juice read more
I usually never right a restaurant review without actually eating there. I had food delivered from Bite. Pictures of the interior look pretty cool & urban. it's in a strip mall that is easy to get to from many directions, although parking is a little light with all the other businesses there. So my review is based on the menu and the food. Bite serves breakfast and a lunch\dinner menu. The only item I did not like was the fish tacos. I prefer grilled fish, but fried is OK too. I like the fact Bite really lets you customize your sandwiches, especially with a large variety of breads. The fish tacos can be on the normal taco shell or on lettuce leaves. One of the tacos was very fishy, but the fried coating on all of them was just too thick & tough. The whole thing was thrown together and if I were them, I'd just drop the item off the menu. (When will restaurants realize when you are trying to sell a somewhat healthy item like this you need to use fresh, light oil. The onion rings had a better batter. ( the fries were very good too) We tried 3 sandwiches. MAC AND CHEESE BURGER-----TRULY ONE OF THE BEST BURGERS EVER! steakhouse blend burger, fried mac & cheese bun, cheese, sriracha aioli....I felt so guilty eating this decadent creation! But every mouthful was so juicy and with the crunch of the fried mac & cheese "bun"??! Are they crazy!? Amazing creation. a little messy to eat as the bun starts to break apart, but who cares!? It's just too awesome. A++ but not an every day\week burger. I couldn't have this more than every month or so, but hey, that's me. Bite has soo many great choices: burgers, pizza, sandwiches! TURKEY APPLE BRIE roasted turkey, sliced apple, brie, honey mustard, arugula, on multigrain was light, but so flavorful and fresh. A winner! BITE BURGER steakhouse blend burger, smoked gouda, sautéed onions, crispy shallot, pickles, special sauce was EXCELLENT. It was kind of like a Patty Melt, cooked perfect with great ingredients. I can't wait to try more items off their menu! read more
Overall *** If you are at Hackensack Medical Center there aren't a lot of food options in the area so if you come here make sure to bring $$$. My weighted grading system comes in at 3.42 Stars so just missing out on the 4 Star level. I found the food good but the price level is way too high to justify a return trip for me anytime soon. Setting **** Inside it is clean and modern with exposed ductwork, a long tufted banquet along one wall and Edison bulb lighting. You walk in and order fast food style, they hand you a table stand with a number and bring your order out to you. I personally don't like the counter design. Instead of having the overhead menu behind the cashier it's off to the left which forces you to turn unnaturally away while ordering. The overly large coffee area also juts out into the dining area because of what I perceive as this counter area design flaw. Bite is located in a strip mall with a barely adequate and frustrating parking lot, if you are coming I would suggest carpooling but it is easily walkable from the hospital. Service *** Not a lot of interaction but pleasant enough. You need to get everything yourself as far as napkins and utensils, etc. I did not find it clear on what to do with my plate when finished, there was a garbage but nowhere to put my plate. Maybe I was supposed to leave it on the table but I just put it on the coffee counter. Food **** I tried the Chicken Torta mainly for the pickled jalapeños although the cashier thought the warmed avocado didn't really work and I sort of agree. The sandwich tasted very good overall but the bread was twice the size of the chicken breast. I added the house made chips which were warm, crunchy and abundant. Value ** $12 for the sandwich plus $2 for the chips, add in a drink and that's a $17 lunch, ouch!!! That is a lot of money for the smallish sandwich and not a lot of "service" but on the upside at least I didn't have to add a tip. read more

This went from one of my favorite spots to my least favorite spot. I unfortunately will no longer be coming here. I ordered the other day and the drunkenroni pizza was mini and taste like frozen pizza. The artisan sandwich was plain and tasteless. I couldn't believe the quality. This is so unlike BITE. read more

How's the parking? I think I saw it is limited to only 30m?
I'm not sure if it's limited to 30 mins but the number of spaces are limited. The lot is shared with a large medical office and a bunch of shops on the ground floor. There seems to be contraction always happening there too.
Is the seating area good for doing work?
Totally! There's enough room for yourself and a few friends - best part is they have free WIFI
Can you substitute or add ingredients to salad, juice, or smoothie to customize it? Thanks?
I don't know, I didn't order any of those items yet.
