Not your typical diner..... it's VERY GOOD! The pancakes are perfect. The sausage links are super flavorful. The coffee is smooth and delicious. The OJ is super tasty. The service was super quick and the food came out of the kitchen super quick and hot and fresh. We got there right at 7:30am and we still weren't the first in line. They are doing something right with a line outside for breakfast. Keep up the good delicious work! read more

Cafe Seventy Two - Super combo breakfast. - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Ewing, New Jersey

I haven't been here in a while and it was just as I remembered. Lots of outdoor seating and beautiful seasonal decor inside. Servers were very friendly. Great specials menu, my friend tried the orange and mango tea and loved it. I ordered a Ruben and my friend ordered the Rachel. The sandwiches are huge and each come with side. Food was delicious. I'm sure I'll be back again. read more

The food is good. But I think this place is starting to test my patience on the portion sizes and the prices. The ultimate breakfast came with pancakes or French toast, two eggs and a protein. There is a smaller combo that basically is the same size. I could've sworn in previous months or years that they also would give you toast and fruit or home fries on top of it. That would really make it the ultimate breakfast. But the portion size was a lot to be desired. I have the corned beef hash, which was OK, and it was not too salty, which I feared. However, I think they were using a lot more potatoes and only a little bit of corned beef which made it a little bit of a letdown. The service was pretty good and the ambience was as good as I remember. They got rid of the bocce ball in the front in order to have more tables outside. Time to try some other places. read more

They have a small parking lot next to the restaurant. The interior is super cute with a bit of whimsy. I was able to get a table quickly. The service was good and efficient. The food was really good. I really enjoyed the corned beef and the hollandaise sauce was good. It's definitely worth a try. read more

Been going here a few years now and looks like I won't come here for a while after this. Food had gone from good to now just average. Why are the servers always mean here. Seems like they don't like their jobs, maybe it's the owners. There's always a table that's loud and you can't hear somebody across you because of the noise level. Prices are so high now that it doesn't match the quality of food anymore. read more

The food is decent, though a bit pricey for the portion sizes. The coffee was disappointing and felt significantly overpriced for the quality. I may give it another try since I've had one good experience and one not-so-great experience so far. read more

Brunch with our dinner club. One of our group grew up in the area. Parking is tight but you can also park across the street in the Bank. It was 10am on a Sunday. The place is clearly a popular local spot as it was crowded when we entered. We had a reservation so were escorted to a table for 8 at the back corner of the place. The Tony Soprano table. Service was prompt and friendly. Ambiance is local eatery many families and kids were in attendance there is also a small bar on the left as you enter. Food was excellent and all enjoyed their dishes. I asked for very crispy bacon it came as ordered. Amazingly, all our dishes arrived simultaneously which does not always happen even in higher end places. A very nice brunch. Mark & Nancy. read more

The variety of brunch and lunch options makes this a great place for groups. This time I went with coworkers and tried the special blackened chicken salad for $20 (not as painful when I'm not paying). Not to be too nitpicky but the chicken was more just Cajun flavor and not really blackened. Maybe I don't really know the difference but didn't care for that Cajun seasoning. Otherwise great healthy salad. The iced green tea matcha was tasty, not sweet but kind of small with lots of ice. I heard one of my coworkers not like the burger, just lacked flavor. My first trip here was better with the mushroom omelette. Fast and accommodating service. Best to make reservations because they get busy. read more

First time here to take our TCNJ freshman to brunch after Parents Weekend. It was pouring out so we made reservations. Even though they were busy we didn't wait more than 10 minutes for our table to be ready. We had a new server Miguel(?) that you would have thought worked there for years. I assume they are always busy on a Sunday, but it was nice to be in a lively place on a rainy Sunday. Food was fantastic and inside was decorated awesome for the Fall season. I was too hungry to take a photo so I will be sure to next time! read more

AMAZING!!! This brunch was SO Delicious! The food came out in less than 10 minutes. The coffee was ginormous. I shared it with my fiancé and it felt like we were sharing an old fashion milk shake lol the vibes were immaculate, there's cozy indoor seating and umbrella covered outdoor seating. The service was wonderful. 10/10 overall experience, would recommend, WILL be back again!! read more

Okay I usually don't give 5 stars for brunch places but what put it over the top is how clean and nice this place is. My only negative is that it's a bit tight inside and it's not a big place. If it were me I would take away one of the tables to give the other tables space. The food was good as you can expect for breakfast which is what my family and I got. Tip: Make a reservation or you might not get a seat. This place stays busy from open to close read more

We had a great breakfast at Cafe Seventy Two! The restaurant is just off of the highway in Ewing making it easy to find. It's unassuming outside but cute and very nice inside with great decor and great service as well. It was busy with good turnover time without feeling rushed at all. All of our meals were delicious. We picked a bunch of sugary items but the great part is that they were not overly sweet, the balance of sweetness, flavor and ingredients was perfection. The coffee and latte were very good as well. read more

2 words - Yum-Mee! Had the blueberry and cream french toast - wow, this was incredible. Also had the rocket bowl - the portion was substantial and so flavorful.

Nice little spot with outdoor seating. It was ok. I haven't been back since we went. This review has been in my drafts. We live in Ewing and always try to explore other areas. I would say check it out for your self. The waffle just was nasty to me. You know how it should have a lil hint of vanilla or sweetness -something! But it didn't. The stuff we ordered I could make myself at home 10x better. The location and atmosphere is nice so may just go hang out with friends and drink read more

The reputation is deserved. After a mediocre dinner the night before, my top tier chums and I needed a comeback for breakfast. I noticed this highly rated establishment not too far from our Airbnb, and that was that. Cafe Seventy Two is on a pretty busy thoroughfare and easy to spot. We stopped by shortly after they opened (that was also a consideration - we looked at a few places in Lambertville but we're unapologetic early birds so if you're not opening your restaurant before 9AM dot dot dot), secured both a parking spot right by the entrance and a table inside quickly. They did have a pleasant looking outdoor area in front too, but the siren song of air conditioning was too strong on this particular morning. I saw no reason to get cute, and went with my favorite breakfast entrée, the classic Eggs Benedict. Delicious and hit the spot in a way that only happens if you were a bit naughty the prior day with a few birthday cocktails. There was honestly nothing that truly set this apart from the myriad of Benedicts on brunch menus throughout the lands, but it didn't have to be particularly complicated - it was dictionary definition perfection. The home fries that accompanied the dish were excellent as well. At $13, the price point is competitive for the area (especially taking into consideration the Delaware River tourist traps just to the north). We also continued our breakfast tradition and strategically ordered something sweet to share. This time we selected an option from the specials menu, the lemon ricotta donut holes, which I believe came with a blueberry compote or close to it. Absolutely awesome. Optics-wise we were initially a little confused (I think we were all expecting something more yellow befitting the lemon designation), but once we bit into the donuts, everything made sense. I imagine the key to this item is not overcooking/frying (however donuts are magically prepared for us), and these definitely were not. The texture was excellent, and the compote paired perfectly. Unsurprisingly, the service was fantastic as well. Our waitress was friendly and attentive, and everything we ordered came out in a timely fashion. We weren't in a rush, but we were still in and out of there pretty quickly. It was starting to fill up a bit as we left, so we may have also been the beneficiaries of an early mealtime. If you can't wait an extra hour or two to feast on the weekend (or even if you can), this is a strong recommend. read more

I am usually a classic Eggs-Benedict person, but the Corned Beef Benny on the menu intrigued me. Corned beef hash, caramelized onion and toasted rye sounded like an interesting twist on the classic. Am I glad I tried this combo! It was so very flavorful, and the poached eggs and hollandaise were cooked perfectly. The toasted rye was a huge, thick slice... totally unexpected but an expert offering. I savored every bite of this twist on the classic! To top it off, my takeout was neat and extremely well-packaged, and service was friendly and impeccable, as always. Bravo, Café 72!!! read more

We had a reservation for 12 people. When we arrived we were seated promptly. Our server was very friendly, attentive and got our order perfect. She was always there checking on us and refilling coffees and drinks. The food was delicious we had a big array of items and all were very enjoyable. I would highly recommend trying this restaurant as it truly was a great experience. read more

Me and my family have been going here for years and the past few times have been very disappointing, especially today. The servers seem miserable, the food is way too overpriced, and the manager is mean. $12 for a coffee is criminal. And the $6 latte I did get was the size of like 3 sips. Not to mention they messed up our food and our server gave it to us without even thinking to check the accuracy. Added bonus, flies everywhere landing on your food and drinks. Wish they would buy a fly trap or something. Don't think we will be coming back here for a while, what a shame. read more

The food was delish. The avocado on my omelette was a nice touch. Either the food was pre packaged or the chefs are lightening fast, but we waited maybe 10-15 minutes after we ordered before our food came. It was hot. We went after church. So there was a crowd, but not noisy. Orderly. By the time we were done, the crowd had thinned. Parking could be a challenge depending on when you go. We had reservations. It's best you do too. Bathroom is small. But clean. read more

I came to Cafe Seventy Two for lunch with a few colleagues from work. We were all pleasantly surprised by how many options were on the menu. We started with the Funnel Cake Fries, and they were amazing. Definitely a highlight. For my main, I ordered the Falafel Lettuce Wraps. They were just okay. There were only three wraps, and they were pretty difficult to eat. The flavor was also a bit bland, so I ended up adding a lot of sriracha to give it more of a kick. If I could go back, I'd probably choose something more traditional like pancakes or avocado toast. It's not a bad spot if you're in the area and want a quick lunch, but I'd stick with the more classic dishes next time. read more

Amazing place. The food is excellent, the ambience is wonderful. The best thing about this was that my daughter accidentally spilled her pancakes on the floor and they replaced them without charge.
