Attentive server, waters right away, and I loved how many scratch-made items they have, right down to some of the latte syrups and sauces. My health-nut hubby was thrilled that the home-style potatoes are cooked in beef tallow (he avoids seed oils) -- and honestly, they were incredible. Best breakfast potatoes we've had. I had the "Scarecrow" latte with house-made pumpkin sauce and the Maple Sausage Sweet Potato Benedict -- perfect for a rainy morning. The maple sausage was the star, and the sweet-potato-hash-meets-stuffing with hollandaise really worked. Can't wait to go back and try more.

It tasted better than anything i've ever had in New Jersey! The service was also incredible, it was fast, attentive and friendly! Our server was Bree (not sure how it's spelled) she is so sweet and was able to make us laugh the whole time! Also don't even get me started on the ambiance, the string lights, the fire place, this place was honestly amazing. We went here twice for breakfast some of the things we got were biscuits and gravy, which was a 10/10, s'mores cinnamon roll 10/10, mimosa flight 10/10, breakfast burrito 10/10. The hashbrowns were also the perfect amount of crispy every time and lastly their pumpkin spice lattes were amazing! The service was amazing and honestly people that complained about the wait, atleast it was worth the wait. Thank you so much for the awesome experience i hope to come back soon!!

Brisket Burnt End Scramble -- 9/10…read more This was a seriously loaded breakfast. The plate had tender, smoky brisket burnt ends mixed with scrambled eggs, melted cheddar, BBQ sauce and crispy onions, all over a generous portion of hash browns, with toast on the side. The combination of the smoky brisket, creamy eggs, melted cheese and crunchy fried onions gave every bite something different. The burnt ends were definitely the star of the plate, and the portion was large enough that you won't leave hungry. The Pumpkin Spice Latte was a great match for the breakfast. It had espresso, pumpkin spice and milk, topped with pumpkin cold foam and whipped cream. The cold foam really made this one stand out. Instead of being just another overly sweet pumpkin drink, you get that creamy pumpkin flavor

It was one of the tastiest waffles I've ever had. The Norwegian pancake ('Sveler') with fruit was also so fluffy and light. The strawberries and blueberries on it were so flavorful and fresh, just yum!! An excellent pairing. We also got the three cheese quiche which was served with greens. I liked the crust and the vinaigrette that accompanied the leafy side salad. Lastly, we got the green machine smoothie which grew on me (I feel like it would be really popular in a big city).

Whipped ricotta 10/10 Yummy ricotta, the basil pistou and olive oil added a really good additional flavor. The fritta toast was buttery and toasted perfectly. Really good and refreshing appetizer! Burrata Caprese 9/10 Burrata and tomatoes were super fresh. I really wish the tomatoes eye cut up smaller to be able to get them in more bites; they were pretty big. The "baby greens" had both chopped up romaine and a spring mix. Again, smaller pieces would have been good. Or even just an arugula and spinach mixture. The romaine wasn't my favorite to pair with this. Alsatian Flatbread 7/10 Bacon was super crispy. Caramelized onions were cooked great. I thought the goat cheese was going to be the main cheese of this, but it was really like mozzarella with goat cheese sprinkled on top. The flavor of this as a whole was mostly caramelized onion flavor. I think I would have preferred a different flatbread.

This is one you can count on for service and friendliness with a menu and buffet that will, for sure, satisfy any hunger craving you might have. A host or hostess out front will seat you and we never waited more than a minute. Servers will come immediately to fill a drink order and then the options begin. At breakfast, if you are famished, you can choose a buffet that will cure you of your affliction- all sorts of things you would normally expect- scrambled eggs, meat and toast and granola and cereal- you get the picture. You can also ask your server for a specialty omelette of your choosing or eggs made a certain way. Or choose to eat from a breakfast lunch or dinner menu. We ate in the morning twice and in the evening twice as well and always loved our meals. The buffet for kids is about $20 and for adults about $10 more. If your little one is a small appetite critter, consider eating of the menu. Prices for menu options were more that reasonable and portions matched even my humongous appetite. Tables and booths throughout can handle any sized party so if you're traveling with family and friends, they will almost assuredly be able accommodate you. Good value for food and service.

I arrive to this Brownstone Cafe place thinking it would be a cool historical place to eat at. Boy was I wrong, I waited 30 mins for my watered down coke. Which they first brought strawberry tea out. I then waited 40 mins for a watery spaghetti and meatballs. I then nearly chocked on one of the soggy meat balls. My waitress was to busy smoking while I was waiting for my check to get out of that hell hole. Do Not Go There.... Place is filled with illegals and criminals. read more

The food is good, the selection is good, the prices are good. However, I don't really like going. It's the only good family restaurant in the town and so it's always packed. You can't move. There's always a wait. Parking is awful. And do not go on a super hot summer day. The building is historic and I guess that means no air conditioning. I was seated upstairs on a hot August day once and it was terribly hot up there. read more
