The taste? Fair. The price? Absolutely unhinged. To top it off, they had the nerve to ask for a tip--for what, exactly? The privilege of eating overpriced shaved ice in a ghost town? Your Yelp reviews already told me what I needed to know. Good luck. You're gonna need it.

I came back to Blossom to try their savory foods and they did not disappoint. The portions are…read morestill huge and the flavors were also on point Kuro Katsu (4.5/5): My first time trying a squid ink katsu! While the squid ink flavor is subtle, the meat was incredibly tender. The portion size was amazing!! Nabeyaki (4.25/5): A massive bowl with a light, refreshing broth that hit the spot. But I'd say the protein felt a little light compared to the amount of noodles and broth. Overall, a great experience. It's a solid local gem if you're looking for a filling quick meal in pal park

I came here before getting breakfast next door to pick up some milk for my son. However I was…read moreunable to stick to the milk because everything looked so good. I ended up getting kinako mochi donut holes and some kind of green mochi bun and a croissant. Everything was really good. My son devoured the croissant and I ate the mochi items because they had a nice chew to them. When I ordered the milk, the person brought over a tiny cup of milk and the cashier was kind enough to bring us a larger one with a lid and straw. Service was fantastic and all the baked goods were really tasty. I saw some people eating breakfast and would come back to try that another time.

It was great how conveniently the food came out and not a long wait time. Every meal and drink served was done well. We complimented at the table how delicious brunch was overall in presentation and how intricately everything was created with attention to detail. Auri Cafe was recently renovated. Clean, open space with plenty of lighting with indoor and outdoor natural light setting in. Our waitress was friendly and came back frequently to check on our table. I admired the decor and felt the entire environment to be comfortable and serene. Parking was readily available. All payment is accepted. We came in with a stroller with our twins - the front entrance has no accessibility and we walked to the side and one of the employees opened for us to enter. We already said we will be back. Looking forward to the next time we will return!

Believe this is a relatively new spot in Fort Lee. Came here for brunch on a weekend. From the get…read morego you can tell they were understaffed or maybe just new. They spoke with people who arrived after us first so someone in my party had to remind them that we should be seated first as we had arrived beforehand. Service was friendly but very slow and disorganized. They have two cups of water for a table of three and never got the third cup after we asked. The plates were chipped which may be part of their aesthetic but still. We ordered three pastas and it took a very long time for it to come out. We also ordered coffee which likewise took forever. The pasta itself had a very powerful kick of garlic where that's most of what I tasted. The spot itself is cute. A bit small and cramped but wasn't the most pressing of the other things we experienced.

The bingsoo options are all great - they come out large and fluffy with generous fillings. My favorite is the black sesame bingsoo, which has a delicious milk ice base topped with a nutty black sesame drizzle. Refreshingly cool and not too sweet. The medium size is great to share between ~3 people. I also tried the coffee and it was decent. Nice little cafe overall!

Sweet food: bingsu (shaved ice), waffles, bubble waffles, pastries, crispy banana chips... Drinks: all sorts of coffee including their signature coffee seasalt (hot or iced), tea, bubble tea (hot or iced), matcha latte, ade, lemonade... I personally first had: - Tuna mayo kimbap - Strawberry matcha latte (made with with real fruit) - Taro shaved ice (with icecream & red beans too) I loved it so much that I came back the following day, for my last day in the neighborhood, this time having: - Tempura shrimp udon (served with kimchi) - Mango ade (made with real fruit) - Strawberry and banana waffle (served with whipped cream and ice cream) - Taro bubble tea (that I chose to have hot) And I have to say it was all SO delicious! Worth noting, better come early to have the maximum choice if kimbap as they are freshly made in the morning and can sell out fast ; and for cooked food available upon request, kitchen closes at 1PM so make sure to arrive before A few extra things to mention: For convenience they have a bathroom as well, and Wi-Fi There are claw machines for fun Korean music is played, making one feel even more in Korea The last but not the least, staff is super efficient / professional My favorite coffee shop in Palisades Park, no doubt Highly recommend!

The condensed milk drizzle was generous, maybe a touch too generous, as it dominated the flavor and made things sweeter than the fresh mango deserved to be. That mango ice cream scoop on top is the standout of the whole dish -- creamy and well-balanced. On the plus side, the space itself is a win: plenty of seating throughout.

I noticed that Mavi's has installed wall mounted televisions, which scroll menu items, specials, and upcoming events. This was my first time ordering from their brunch menu and it was outstanding. My Western Omelette (ham, onion, mushroom, pepper, egg, potato, arugula, almond slices) was an excellent choice. Every ingredient was fresh, the eggs were fluffy, and it was accompanied by a side salad and two large slices of multigrain bread. The other items were the artistically presented Avocado Salad (Avocado, tomato, onion crisp, sesame seeds, pumpkin seeds, sunflower seeds, arugula mixed salad, almond slices with balsamic glaze and sesame dressing) and the Toowoomba Shrimp Donkatsu (crispy, golden-fried cutlet smothered in a rich, creamy, and spicy Cajun Toowoomba sauce with shrimp, onions, and mushrooms, served alongside a half-portion of pasta). This dish is succulent, creamy, pleasantly spicy, and thoroughly enjoyed. I'll never dine at Mavi's without ordering a Kimchi Bulgogi Pizza (tomato sauce, mozzarella, onion, mushroom, bulgogi beef, kimchi, scallion, spicy mayo drizzle). Not only does every ingredient dance in your mouth, but the soft beet infused crust makes this one of the best pizzas I've happily savored.
