We ordered a classic sausage, egg, and cheese on a roll and this time, I also wanted to investigate their bagel game. I ordered an everything bagel with veggie cream cheese and it took just a few bites to remind this newly transplanted Southerner that bagels in the Northeast are in a league of their own. Food comes out fast. We both watched admiringly from our tables as the short order cooks moved like tornados at the grill, furiously beating bowl after bowl of eggs to fulfill the counter endless string of orders. That's another thing. During the whole half hour we dined at a table, things never quieted. As soon as a table cleared, someone else would grab it right away. Over the years, I've found that when in doubt, it's best to follow the crowds. On most Saturday mornings, it seems this is the place where all the crowds in Ridgefield Park are congregating. This breakfast spot is as local as it gets. As a lover of small business, I can't tell you secretly happy I get to see lines at the door here while the Dunkin Donuts across the street languishes.

My girlfriend was craving French toast so I set out to find a spot that we could grab some. I was…read morecoming off working the night shift so I wanted to go somewhere close to home. Java Day Cafe came up and it was really close to both of us so we decided to come here. The place is nestled in a small strip mall with other stablishments so luckily that means there's ample parking. There's also a fair amount of seating. You order at the counter and let them know if you want to take your food to go or if you'd like to dine-in. I was pretty hungry coming off a 12-hour shift so I got the Hungryman sandwich with a hash brown on the side. They have a few options as far as French toast goes and my girlfriend decided on Nutella stuffed. Our food came out rather quickly considering how busy they seemed to be. A few other parties were dining in and a good amount of people picked up takeout. My sandwich was much bigger than I anticipated but it was delicious. The various meats brought the saltiness and savory flavor I was looking for and it all paired well with the eggs and cheese. The bread it was served in had a nice crunch to it which is always appreciated. The sandwich was great but the next time I get it I have to add the SPK (salt, pepper, ketchup for you non-Jerseyans). I also tried some of my girlfriends French toast. It looked really good and I think I saw them take a picture before bringing it to our table. I'm not mad at that, as a Yelper I'm a firm follower of phone-eats-first! The French toast was delicious. It wasn't overly sweet and the bread had the all-important crunch. Walnuts also added good texture to everything. I think the only thing stopping me from rating this place 5-stars is the price. It's definitely on the pricier side. My girlfriend and I got coffees with our food and everything came out to a few bucks short of $50. Nevertheless, a very solid breakfast spot. I could see myself coming back. I found it weird that they have such nice plates but they only have plastic utensils. Not a knock on them, just a quirky thing I noticed.

Came in craving a matcha bingsu and was excited by the presentation -- the portion is genuinely…read morehuge, piled high with a big scoop of matcha ice cream on top and wafer cookies tucked in. Unfortunately, the matcha flavor itself was pretty minimal for me. It seems like the matcha powder is really just dusted on top rather than blended into the shaved ice itself, so once you get a few bites in, it turns into a pretty plain, sweet shaved ice with not much matcha flavor coming through. It was also sweeter than I'd typically expect from a matcha dessert, which usually leans more bitter/earthy. One thing that stood out (and not in a good way) -- they charged $0.50 for a cup of ice water. Small thing, but a bit of an odd touchpoint for a dessert spot. On the plus side, it's in a plaza with plenty of parking, so at least getting there and finding a spot was easy.

The interior is cute since the building is basically a house. The service was friendly and the menu had a good amount of options. I ordered the brown sugar matcha latte which in my opinion was much too sweet. I typically prefer a stronger matcha taste so it may come down to preference. I thought there was too much syrup and the brown sugar flavor overpowered the matcha. I did try the drink without mixing first and the matcha by itself was fine. My friends' drink (banana bread latte and sparkling ade) tasted good so I would recommend their coffee and sparkling ades. On to the croffle, this was by far the highlight. The croffles come out fresh and warm, the croffle itself has that chewy and moist texture but crunchy on the outside. The cream was very fresh and tasty, not too heavy and not too sweet. The matcha flavor in the cream was definitely there for the matcha croffle. We also got the black sesame croffle and biscoff croffle which were amazing too. Overall, I would 100% come back for the croffle, coffee, and good vibes.

The café con leche was smooth and flavorful with that classic Spanish-style taste--8.5/10. I also tried the strawberry lemonade, which was refreshing, slightly sweet, and loaded with fresh strawberries. Easy 8/10. For food, I had both the beef and chicken empanadas. They came out warm, fresh, and packed with flavor. I'd give each a 7.8/10. The real highlight is the atmosphere. The back area was a great place to sit and watch FIFA, and the overall vibe was relaxed and welcoming. It's the kind of café where you can enjoy a coffee, grab a snack, catch a game, or post up with your laptop and actually get some work done. Definitely a spot I'd come back to.

As soon as i walked in i was greeted by someone at the counter, seems like the owner or manager, he was incredibly welcoming and friendly. My server was sweet too and paid attention. although i was pleased with my meal, i think i made the wrong choice by getting what i did. i now realize i need to come back and get actual breakfast items because that seems to be the star of the show. however, the lunch specials are a great deal and i was on a bit of a budget. grilled cheese is incredibly simple and nothing to talk about. maybe they can add the option of 2 cheeses maybe add caramelized onions? it was just white bread with 1 slice of cheddar. it hit the spot and was melted fine, but really nothing exciting. the lunch special came with a soup and there were 3 choices this day. the onion soup was absolutely amazing. it was sweet and salty, and veggie friendly! i would get this again. fries were nothing special either. probably could have been cooked more. rice pudding was okay. i think it needed more sweetness or seasoning but it was a nice touch at the end of the meal. ps, all for $14? what a good deal.

While meandering around our local neighborhood, my husband and I stumbled upon this tiny diner and…read moregave it a try. We're so glad we did, because this hole in the wall turned out to be a diamond in the rough. With a nondescript exterior and limited signage, Foodies Diner is easy to miss. It's in an area with mainly houses and mixed use commercial buildings, but the space inside is cozy. I especially appreciated the way the owner greeted everyone who enters and thanked everyone who leaves with notable warmth and small-town friendliness. The menu reads like a true diner - with all-day breakfast and brunch options, as well as standard lunch fare. We ordered a Santa Fe salad and an L.A. burger - which comes with avocado, bacon, onion, lettuce, and tomatoes. The burger was pretty standard, but having it delivered on a warm brioche bun feels a little bit special. The accompanying fries were also great - crisp and potatoey on the inside. The salad, on the other hand, was a near triumph. Served on a large platter, there was a small field of well-seasoned chicken, shredded cheddar, vegetables, avocado, pico de gallo, and - best yet - some pieces of warm, toasted pita. I even sprinkled some pieces of bacon from my burger into this salad, and wow did that take it over the top. I dug into this salad with fair gusto and would absolutely come back for it...which is saying something, since I wouldn't expect to fall in love with a salad at a diner. Service was fantastic, and we were pleased with how reasonably priced our meal turned out to be. There's plenty of parking - either right out front or in the lot further back.
