Stopped into Iconic Coffee for a quick pick me up and was pleasantly satisfied…read more The cafe is nicely decorated, is full of positive affirmations, has a fair amount of high-top tables, and a few regular tables. The Manager/owner went above and beyond to make us comfortable, was genuinely happy to create our selections, and added to the enjoyment of the visit. The beverage items were: Iced Brown Sugar Shaken Espresso (Espresso swirled with brown sugar, cinnamon, and milk). I really enjoyed this beverage. It was served in a large glass and the presentation was appealing. It showed the flavorful espresso at the bottom 1/4 of the glass and after mixing it all together.....wow! The next choice was the Mocha Latte, with slim milk. The only thing I'll mention about this drink was, that it was the best they've ever had, annnnnnnnd they've had a lot of them. Thank you, Iconic Coffee, for creating a business with a welcoming atmosphere and a relaxing ambience. I'll happily return and will gladly spread the word. :-)

I'm so in love with this coffee shop that I probably *WOULD* sleepwalk my way to it in the middle…read moreof the night. Sleepwalker Coffee is quickly approaching its one year anniversary at the end of the month. In less than a year, it's already become a neighborhood favorite for a much-needed caffeine fix. Once you stop by, it'll make perfect sense. It's tucked away on Bergen Street, right in the heart of Englewood. I've been here 5-6 times in the past month! The menu includes pour-overs, espresso beverages, cold brew, teas, and a limited selection of light bites like toast and pastries. Their coffee is proudly sourced from Maiden Coffee Roasters, a local roastery in Central Jersey. I've tried a good mix of their menu, so I have a solid sense of which items are hits and which are misses, based on my personal taste. HITS: *Hot Latte with flavored syrup [~$6] - These are some of the best lattes I've ever had! The espresso is aromatic, bold, and full of flavor. The steamed milk is silky and velvety with that signature frothy layer. And the ratio of espresso to milk? ON POINT! The flavored syrups enhance the coffee without overpowering it. I've tried the strawberry (fruity notes), lavender (floral notes), and caramel (toasty & buttery notes). One of my pet peeves is lattes that are *WAY* TOO SWEET. That's definitely not the case here! They use syrups made with more natural ingredients, and even make some of their flavors in-house. Every sip is perfectly balanced - smooth and rich with the right amount of sweetness. *Avocado Toast (avocado, everything seasoning, lemon pepper, & olive oil on sourdough bread) [$7] - Simple ingredients that really hit the spot for a light snack! Creamy avocado paired with savory & zesty seasonings on crispy bread? SAY LESS! *Danishes (cranberry & apricot) [$5] - My favorite pastry to have with my coffee! The dough is flaky and airy with sweet cream cheese and fresh fruit in the center! MISSES: *Iced Matcha Latte ($6.50) - I prefer my matcha earthy, bitter, and grassy. This was too sweet and milky, and the matcha flavor wasn't strong enough. *Seasonal Lattes [~$6]: ~Banana Bread [latte with banana & cinnamon syrup] ~Horchata [latte with vanilla, cinnamon, & spice] The espresso was strong in both drinks, but the flavors barely came through. The cinnamon was overpowering, so it tasted more like a cinnamon latte. So yes... the coffee is amazing and the small bites are delicious! But what really makes this coffee shop stand out is its service and atmosphere. The owner and staff are incredibly welcoming, warm, and personable. The baristas remember your face and your order, and they really know how to connect with customers. Every time I visit, they treat me like a friend :') They have a ton of regulars here and it's easy to see why! Service like this is getting harder to find, unfortunately. And the ambiance? Cozy and full of character with a genuine sense of community that makes you feel right at home! It's a laid-back spot to unwind, get some work done (free wifi +outlets!), or meet with friends. The decor is eclectic and reminds me of a stylish living room. They definitely have a "sk8r boy" vibe going on here *fire emoji* There's a small corner with books and games, vinyl records, pop culture wall art, and vintage wooden furniture. Seating is limited to 6 tables, a sofa, and a small bar along the front window. So if you pop in during peak hours, you may not be able to find a seat. If you're in the Englewood area, Sleepwalker Coffee is a must visit! Cheers to more years of success - one year down and many more to go! Remember to support your local coffee shops!

All of their sandwiches and salads are made to order, super fresh, and thoughtfully put together, and the coffee is consistently on point every time I come in. One of my favorite things about this place is how great it is for working. There are tons of outlets, plenty of seating, and a calm, welcoming vibe that makes it easy to settle in for a few hours. It's also dog-friendly, which I absolutely love (I come here at least once a week with my dog, and they're always so accommodating and kind). The staff is genuinely friendly, there's a large parking lot (which is a huge plus), and they always have fun seasonal items to look forward to. You can really feel the care and intention behind this place. Highly recommend making this part of your weekly cafe rotation.

Regrettably, they were currently unable to make the pour over coffee. Woman working behind the counter was nice and the Americano was a solid consolation prize.

I would certainly give Coffeecol another try, as I'm intrigued by their direct from Colombian farm coffee.

I was strolling along looking for breakfast when this place caught my eye. The sign outside read…read morebest coffee in town and I said 'bet'. Inside is cozy, and very in theme with a global coffee type situation. Showcasing a large selection of beans, pastries and other goods. While limited, there is some seating. I was greeted immediately upon entry. I asked if they had any 'iced fluffy drinks', told the barista I wanted the 'creamiest sweetest thing they had'. I was told about Tanzanian coffee being sweeter naturally and said I'd take that. Alas, I wasn't clear enough with what I wanted during, because she started what looked like the most glorious coffee making process. Each drip emitting a luscious aroma. When I asked how she was going to 'ice it', a look of disappointment washed over her face. I hadn't made it clear that I wanted cold coffee. She started taking things out of the fridge, asked what size I wanted (no giant venti type drinks here) and poured me a cold brew maybe? There seem to be less options for iced coffee than hot. So, after all the anticipation watching and inhaling the Tanzanian stuff, I was ready to taste this chilly brew...Regrettably, it was so weak. I was overly disappointed! Thinking about it now still saddens me. I usually take coffee as more a confection than serious strong adult drink. Always light and sweet, leche con cafe even! But never has it been this bland or lacking actual coffee flavor. I'm sure the hot coffee is a contender for best in town, but not the iced. I could have gone the green mermaid place like a block away and got a tastier, larger cup. Sorta ps here, this is for the Englewood shop which is not represented here

They've only been open for a year or so, but have been very successful! I've visited a few times and have never been disappointed. The interior is cozy and chic, with Argentinian-inspired decor like navy blue accents, lush greenery, wooden tones, leather couches, and wall art of Buenos Aires. There are two floors with seating and lounge areas. It truly feels like you're in someone's comfy living room! The cafe is part of an apartment building that used to be a bank, so there are high ceilings and arched windows. The owner, Jeremias, added thoughtful touches to make the cafe a welcoming and inviting space for customers. They have free wifi, outlets, dog treats, and crayons for kids! The menu offers your classic espresso beverages as well as seasonal and specialty drinks. My all-time favorite is the dulce de leche latte. I've had it hot and iced. They both taste amazing, but I prefer it hot. The steamed milk froth is the perfect texture - silky and creamy with micro foam bubbles. They have a machine that prints out cute messages/latte art on the surface :) The drink itself has a good balance between espresso, steamed milk, and dulce de leche sauce. If you need that strong cup of coffee that will keep you energized, you came to the right spot. The espresso is bold, rich, smooth, and well balanced with the caramelized, milky sweetness of the dulce de leche. They have a variety of popular Argentinian pastries like medialunas, vigilantes, bolas, sacramentos, margarita pasteleras, empanadas, and more. Everything is baked with love, freshly made in-house, and delicious! You cannot go wrong with trying any of them. The dough is flaky, buttery, and fluffy. Nothing is overly sweet. If you're a fan of dulce de leche (caramelized milk jam), you're in the right place because many of the pastries are filled with it. And if you've never tried it before... you must!!! Don't forget to grab an empanada, especially the beef! The dough is flaky, tender, and stuffed with a ton of meat. The filling consists of ground beef, onions, bell peppers, hard-boiled eggs, and spices (cumin, paprika, oregano). The beef is juicy, savory, and seasoned with warm spices for a touch of heat. The staff are always welcoming, friendly, and personable. They have a lot of loyal/regular customers (rightfully so) and there's a genuine sense of community here. This is the type of spot that will remember your face, name, and order. It's not easy to find great customer service nowadays. Drinks crafted with care, fresh pastries, warm service, and a cozy environment? Now that's the type of cafe that I will keep coming back to over and over again. Stop by Cafe Baires if you want a taste of Argentina!

Lets start with the good, the cheese empanada was very cheese and with a lightly crispy/flaky crust. My daughter loved this! The caprese sandwich was warmed and so delicious! The chocolate mousse cup was light and airy with a crisp dark chocolate cup. One of the best mousse i have had! The cannolis my daughter loved . Now the bad... We ordered the mint lemonade for my daughter and found a bug in it ( like a fruit fly) as soon as it was brought to our table. When i took it back to the counter the lady just smiled at me and offered to replace saying she didnt "think" it was from the machine and just flying around. I told her it was unacceptable and would have been more upsetting had my daughter drank it. Then was given a light apology but thats all , which is so strange to me . Then i received the chai ( which at the counter i was informed could be made less sweet). It was overpoweringly sweet, when i took this back they said it was a premixed powder and already has the sweet mixed in ( very strange why i was told it could be adjusted then :/). Anyways, overall a nice clean place but check your drinks before drinking for sure . Loved all the food items we got though !

However, this happened over a decade ago and unfortunately, from my first impression of this place, there is seriously some need for marketing and a change tailored to incentivizing a newer generation of people to discovering this place. I was dissatisfied with the lack of desire to accept any of the coupons or online promotions offered by sites such as groupon and restaurant.com... The owner claimed that she had not been involved with the marketing departments from these sites, however, that is the only reason I discovered this place in the first place, and she refused to honor the coupons that we had purchased with our own money through the site. I wound up purchasing one of her famous apple cakes, which, in my opinion was extremely overpriced for the size, but I was sympathetic to her story and the hard work that went behind the business enough to purchase it. The cake was delicious, but not something groundbreaking. I know this is a brutal review, but I think it's important that the business makes some attempt going forward to clarify marketing directives and try to appeal to a newer audience instead of living within the same time period and not changing with the times. The owner is living over and over again what happened over 10 years ago and I'm looking for more creativity and expansion and collaboration from third party affiliates otherwise I see the business struggling due to lack of outside promotion and internal customer satisfaction initiatives.
