    Breakfast time
    Charles T.

    Grabbed a good ol "Jersey Meat", egg, and cheese for my first stop ever at Cafe 57 in Washington, NJ. Met up with my friend Jen for lunch but I had breakfast heavy on my mind. Decided to add a hash brown (I always do if it's an option) and rounded it out with a Joe's tea (rare to see the diet ones so I was pumped about that). Came to $10 total. The sandwich was solid. The meat was sliced thin and there was a decent char to it. I think for the cost they could have tossed on a few more slices, but I'm not mad about it either. I'd like to try some other items here in the future, I've heard a lot of talk about some of their lunch sandwiches as well as their baked goods. Either way Cafe 57 - Didn't Suck!

    Food Network's Sunny Anderson vouched for this place so I HAD to try it out. They're known in the area for their cheesesteaks and lately, for their chopped Italian hoagie. But they're also known for their awesome baked goods, more specifically, their cinnamon buns. That's what I woke up craving so to Cafe 57 I went. So many varieties of rolled up goodness to choose from. Nutella cheesecake buns. Apple buns. Run-of-the-mill cinnamon buns. But what caught my eye was the blueberry cheesecake crumb roll. There were blueberries so they HAD to be SLIGHTLY healthy, right? Craving satisfied! Boy, was it delicious! At first, I thought there was a lot going on but it was just so good! It teetered on the edge of undercooked in the center but I'm a lover of an undercooked cinnamon bun! I intentionally save the middle because I like that underdoneness. With all honesty, I really liked the bun but I hated the price. As good as it was, it wasn't worth the price. I have never, ever paid $8.50 for a cinnamon bun. Not even in the Upper East Side of Manhattan. With every bite, I kept thinking about how much it was. Sad, I know. The owner & his daughter were warm and friendly but unless I'm in my 2nd trimester and DYING for a cinnamon bun, I can't see myself going back anytime soon. These parts don't pay enough and for me to spend it on ONE baked good.

    Went to go visit my friends over the weekend and our first stop was here again from Maryland. This time around, we ordered the classic cheesesteak and it didn't disappoint. The portions are huge so we were prepared this time. I split the sub with my husband at had some water to wash it down. Because we left around 3am, we missed out again on having their pastries! We're returning next month and I cannot wait to come visit again.

    Grilled cheese madness

    First time here and the food is great! My family loves grilled cheese and this place has a triple layer grilled cheese! It's a superior sandwich in taste and price! Will definitely be back and highly recommend. Great place for kids or if you want a good sandwich, burger, quesadillas, etc.

    Recommend Chopped cheese & Body Builder cheesesteak, order often., New creative menu items are added often. High quality food.

    Highly recommend chopped cheese or bodybuilder cheesesteak. All food is high-quality. Never disappointed. Creative menu items added often. Best restaurant in our area

    Pecan roll

    Over the past few years I find us going here less and less often. The owner is no longer as friendly and often is gruff answering the phone for orders and just overall hard to read. The phone etiquette alone usually prevents us from even calling in an order. He has also expanded his cinnamon bun menu so much that they have lost quality and instead have only quantity and type as the impressive factor. The original was dry and the blueberry lemon was a soggy sponge. Disappointing that he broadened his horizons and forgot the basics of being approachable and putting out something of high quality. I hope to see them improve and make customer service a priority.

    Spam, Taylor Ham and fried bologna with a hash brown on top of double egg and cheese!!!

    The food is always great. Everything is so fresh and the bread tastes like they just made it. I've never been disappointed in what I had.

    Pass by many times, but it was recommended from a friend for having excellent cakes. So, today was…read morethe day to check it out ourselves. The staff was great, they move quick and is very helpful...even if it's your first time there and feel overwhelmed by all the great options to choose from, the ladies are very friendly. Walked in, not a large place, but it's clean, smelled great and they have plenty of yummy options that your eyes pick up immediately... you know this place has everything you need from a bakery. They are multiple display cases, fully stocked with a variety of cakes, cookies, donuts, specialty pastries, and more. They have a couple of cake displays, for the full-size, mini-size, and the slices as well. They also do specialty cakes and special order catering too. Their Deli has plenty of side dishes to choose from...especially great if you are going somewhere and you don't want to make anything...let the folks at Giancarlos save the day. To my surprise, they also make pizza pies and to include sell by the slice too !! Ordered two breakfast sandwiches (1x HEC & 1x BEC), both were filling and delicious. The French bread was fresh and soft. We bought the small red velvet cake today, but look forward to returning and try the lemon cake.

    I went to Gianluca's for breakfast last weekend based on a recommendation from a friend. I ordered…read morea chocolate frosted donut with sprinkles and a black and white cookie. The staff were very kind and helped me out right away. I brought the pastries home. The donut was big and fluffy and delicious. The cookie was ok. It was very sticky and lacked much taste. I would definitely go back for more pastries from Giancarlo's.
