Let me introduce you to a spot I recently discovered called Problem Baker, and after trying the…read more banana foster coffee and chocolate chip cookie, I get why the baker is the problem... I loved everything. If you have a sweet tooth like me, this place can definitely become a little dangerous, especially for the health goals. The banana foster coffee was really good, and the flavor paired surprisingly well with the dessert. I've always heard when you visit a bakery for the first time, you should start with the staples, so I went with the chocolate chip cookie. And, there were so many options that choosing just one was a challenge. That first bite did not disappoint, with melted chocolate inside, just like how I like it. You can taste the sea salt, but it's subtle and doesn't overpower the cookie at all. Such a well executed cookie, so good. The service provided was also pleasant. I'm already looking forward to trying the other flavors of cookies, as well as some of their other drinks. Parking was also pretty easy for me since it's on a corner nearby a residential area. There's also a lot behind the bakery, but there was a sign saying it's for staff, so I'm not sure if customers can park there. Definitely worth a visit!

Great flavor selection of really big cookies. They are nicely laid out in the display so you can…read moretake your time reviewing, and the flavors go from good old chocolate chip to more unique flavors like ube. I tried the toffee chocolate chip which was a delightful twist on the tried-and-true formula. It was definitely loaded with toffee. The cookies are pretty big and cost about $5 per cookie, so it was hard to justify trying more than 1 flavor. The taste is good, but I wish they were a little smaller/cheaper to justify the indulgence. There was also a menu board slide show where I briefly saw an image of a sundae, but it never came back around, so I didn't end up ordering it. There was a pretty extensive drink menu as well. There wasn't really a lot of seating, but they pack up well to go. I would come back to try some of the other flavors and menu options.

Ok so we were on the Island today Saturday 9/26/26 running some errands in this rainy & windy Nor'…read moreEaster; Believe it or not we stopped at Charlie's Café off of 440 we bought breakfast never ate it because my 9:00 AM appointment with Majestic auto detailer got screwed up on their behalf should've known we were gonna bat a zero today.... We were starving like Marvin !! Lol !! So we yelped this Cafe Juliet's !!! What can I say? I could barely give this place a big three stars at best !!! Let's start here; their order system you walk up to the counter and you look at these huge single menus. You pick what you want and then you give your order; then if you're staying you get a number on a stick and you go to a table and sit down and wait for them to deliver your food... but wait; if you ordered hot beverages as we did two large coffees, they'll call your name and you gotta go back up there and pick up your own coffees and bring them back to your table .. Let's start with their coffee; we found their regular coffee to be a little disappointing; my coffee would be more like some kind of a watered down tea with a hint of Cardamom in it.. I asked my wife four times this taste like tea not coffee even she agreed; she went up to the counter and asked the gentleman. What kind of coffee do you guys use ?? honestly a very disappointing cup of coffee in my opinion... So we ordered a stack of pancakes; we ordered the ones with caramel came with fruit, bananas, blueberries walnuts; we both agreed this is the star of the show order the pancakes You won't be disappointed.... Don't forget to ask for butter this place serves pancakes without butter ?? I really wanted an American breakfast. Thought I was gonna get some corn beef hash & eggs ?? Not here in fact the Girl told me she only had two kinds of omelettes on the menu ?? The Wife wanted a simple bacon, egg and cheese on something preferably a bagel; but they only had a plain bagel croissant or a brioche ??? So she opted for a BLT; she ended up getting that on a brioche; not your American BLT for sure. I guess they use some kind of high end organic bacon or something ; Sorry it was just OK.... Found the bacon to be a bit gamy tasting.. I ordered the cream cheese and lox on a bagel with a Schmear; this was also pretty good; the Bagel for me is an epic fail definitely not a real authentic Bagel definitely a commercial Bagel trust me I know I use to own a bagel store so what I did was I just slid the cream cheese and the lox to 1/2 of the bagel and ate half. Take a look at the pictures the food looks incredible; the way they plate it & present it very nice !!! After watching all the clientele that were coming in and going out, we could tell this is for the younger kids, younger generation, the millennials the yuppies and I mean no disrespect by that !! Very big coffee selection cold and hot; as far as the cold beverage selection, just take a look at the pictures; when you look in their refrigerators and you could only really identify two of the beverages by their brand names, Ya just know this spot just might not be for you.... Lol The service was great; very fast and friendly; their dining room room was very clean; just a heads up we were freezing today; mind you I had sweatpants on and a hoodie and I was cold. The door seems to stay open so I can imagine how it's gonna get in there in the colder months... tip; if you don't like to be cold while dining move as close as you can to the kitchen; we watched three tables, get up and move closer to the kitchen because they were complaining about the cold air coming in.... We've been in the food business for years and what we learned is this; KISS AND THAT STANDs STANDS FOR KEEP IT SIMPLE STUPID !! we found it works over 50 years in business, maintain consistency, and integrity. It will never fail you... Would I highly recommend this place? Honestly, no.; would I come back again yes no maybe if I was in the area. would I drive out of my way like I did today 20 minutes to get here? Definitely not. Oh, one more thing let's not forget about their prices $$$$ $58. Bucks plus a $10. Tip For semi table service we for it to be a little pricey. What can we say? Give them a try & definitely have the pancakes and sneak in your own coffee !! Lol !!! Thanks, Greg D & family

The feta and spinach pastry, tuna salad and egg salad croissant were all very flavorful, but they overly light with the filling, where the ratio between the pastry and the filling were way too imbalanced (which you can easily see in the photos). For how much potential they have, if they add just a bit more filling to them they can easily become one of the top cafes in all of Staten Island. I hope they take this to heart for I really want them to do well and continue to become successful! Thank you for reading and best of luck! (:

Setting (5/5): the interior of this place is simple and chic with a focus on sheep. There is a good amount of seating and tables that can fit four comfortably. If you need chill study vibes, I would definitely check this place out. Drinks (5/5): I got the mocha and really enjoyed it! It had a rich, but not too sweet chocolate taste and it wasn't bitter. The little latte design on top was also a nice touch. And I think that summary of their coffee being rich and slightly sweet is reflective of their other drinks too (my friend got the Americano and agreed that it had a natural sweet taste too it). Also I will say their music choices are great and it's not too noisy here so you can have a nice chat or really dive deep into a book or email here.
