    Very nice cafe, staff very friendly . Food tasted really good. S'mores latte and Dubai chocolate latte tasted great and would recommend. Breakfast portion was very generous I was satisfied and full by the time I was finished.

    This place is phenomenal. Serve breakfast and lunch all day. Food tastes delicious and fresh. Service is great and the staff is super professional - they pay attention to the details. Decor is nothing crazy but the place is super clean and well organized. They do have an outdoor place which will be great during the spring and summer. Keep up the great work. I will definitely come back.

    Avocado toast
    Shanice W.

    I called and asked if they had avocado toast. They said they did and gave me bread options. They also said it comes with eggs or without eggs. I feel as if in 2025 everyone should know that avocado toast consists of more than bread and avocado on top. All they gave me was toasted bread with avocado on top. No elevated flavors, no seasoning, no drizzle. Completely flavorless breakfast option. Messing up avocado toast means everything at this place is subpar unless you like plain old coffee. If you are the kind of girl who likes an oat milk latte, this is not the place for you. They should have specified it was just avocado on bread, yuck. Will not be going back. Paying for flavorless food when it's the same price of something of better quality is insane.

    I went there this morning with a friend and it's was new to both of us. Had an absolutely wonderful experience. The service was amazing and the food even better. They have a lovely indoor and outdoor seating selection. We ate inside and the place was very cute and cozy. Perfect especially for a Saturday morning. Would absolutely come back and tells friends and family about this place! Thank you to all of the employees and especially our waiter Tim!

    Came here yesterday with my wife, because she recommended it, and it was an amazing decision. Food: my wife started with an iced green tea which was refreshing on an unexpected warm winter day and we proceeded to get a smoked turkey panini (wife) and the waiter offered a wonderful suggestion of chicken and black bean wrap which was right up my alley. Very good overall food and the smoked Gouda with my wrap really put it all together. Aesthetic: adorable little place with a diner, like bar and seating in the back. I also like the patio, which I assume would be better in the spring and summer. Service: our waiter, Max, was very nice, helpful, and discussed the things he recommended at my request which was honestly a great decision. Everything came out timely and perfect.

    I had an amazing time coming here for lunch with my coworkers. Upon entrance we were greeted and told to sit wherever we would like. From the moment we entered I already knew I would leave happy there. Halloween decor was very cute and I'm a big person on Halloween! We ordered the fried ravioli which was made to perfection. It was def tasty especially dipping it in marinara. I liked the crunchiness to it. Then I had the hot chocolate which was pretty much chocolate heaven! I was surprised the amount of hot chocolate I got , I'm so used to getting a small cup when ordering but this was def worth it. I personally had the Cuban which was enough for two people to share. It was very tasty however lacked some mustard which is fine I'm sure I could've asked for some but didn't because it tasted just as great without it . I had a side of fries which were nice and crispy not over salted at all. I tried a bite of my friend's Mexican panini which was also very tasty especially the kick of spiciness which made it even better. My friend had the hungry human which she said was good particularly loved the French toast . I can't wait to come back. Service was amazing, all the staff there were friendly and attentive.

    I love this little cafe. Moving out of nutley and living in Newark it is great to eat out and this place is all what nutley is about. A small cafe that is very homie. Great selection of food and coffee. Everything was great. Cooked well and the prices where good. Staff was very friendly and made sure we where taken care of. This is my new go-to stop when looking to eat out locally. A true gem in nutley nj.

    I love coming here for brunch! They have an extensive menu, and you really can't go wrong with any choice. The eggs benedict is my go to, but we recently tried the cinnamon French toast and it was absolutely delicious! If you're a fan of cinnamon toast this is a must-try. Their specialty coffee flavors are also fantastic. Service is friendly, though it can slow down a bit during the brunch rush hour. This spot is great for both groups and couples, with plenty of indoor seating and a convenient parking lot in the back.

    Was only here once. Tried the spring chicken wrap with sweet potato fries. It was very good. Will go back and try different items.

    Traditional Eggs Benedict
    Irving R.

    Walked in this morning ready to feel guilty about eating until I had to unbutton my jeans and then go home and take an obligatory nap. I've been here a few times over the last few years but hadn't been in a while. I had the traditional eggs Benny, my wife had the hungry human and the kids had the chocolate chip pancakes and the Mac and cheese bites. The hungry human is an insane amount of food and I dreamt of that French toast during my nap. The eggs Benny were very good as well, the potatoes needed salt. Kids stuff, well i mean choco chip pancakes and Mac and cheese bite, you can't go wrong. My only complaint really is I'm not ready to sit table and table next to another family. Idk too soon. Luckily the family next to us left after only 20ish minutes. Also most people if not all didn't have masks not even the staff. A lil uncomfortable with that omicron waiting to keep my kids home from school and me having to stay home with them attending virtually. HORROR!!! Overall we had a good breakfast here with the fam and I'll be back. Cheers!

    Pulled Pork Sandwich
    Miriam I.

    This cafe is very cute inside. The food here was alright, not great but totally overpriced. It was diner quality but not diner prices. The pulled pork sandwich was the biggest letdown because it was so small.

    Chi Tea Latte
    Omary P.

    I had their Chi tea latte and it was really good. I definitely recommend there Chi Rea latte!

    Tasty breakfast dishes with a great ambiance. Must try the croissant French toast and banana walnut pancakes.

    How are they actually so good? We had reservations for 5 in a booth. We ordered a branzino, shrimp…read morescampi, a plate of waffles, chips and guac, steak frites, strip steak, and some refreshing iced teas. I had the strip steak and it was done perfectly. I gave away the bananas. The guac was very flavorful - a tad too sour but still very good. The side of broccoli was done perfectly with a bit of flavor and some crunch. The spinach however was maybe the best I've had. Not sure how they made it so good but wasn't simply with garlic. I had a piece of the branzino and thought it was also tasty with a nice fried crunch. The iced tea was perfectly caffeinated but maybe a tad small. It is supposedly unlimited but I didn't take advantage of that. The restrooms were also clean. I just wish they had some lounge chairs in there. Service was fast and diner style. Get what you need and get out of there. No one was rude, but no one was overly friendly. They all did their job and a 20% tip was automatically included. No concerns but thought it would be worth highlighting.

Plates are HUGE so come hungry. I've never gotten anything i didn't like - from breakfast to sandwiches to dinner. This most recent time i tried the spicy rigatoni with shrimp. The shrimp was perfectly grilled and the pasta was amazing. Might've been one of the best pasta sauces I've had in a while (i know, i was shocked too!). Perfectly al dente pasta with a hint of Calabrian chili and some delicious vodka sauce. Don't sleep on Tops!

Breakfast food should be easy to make and a delight to eat, and I appreciate the consistency across both of our visits. A true pancake house, they let you substitute home fries for pancakes and let me tell you, that is the right choice! Fluffy, buttery goodness. Eggs, bacon, sausage, home fries... nothing fancy, but all very easy to mess up. We enjoyed every bite. We're also looking forward to coming back for dinner, it is, after all, also a steakhouse! Ample parking, festive for the season, cozy vibes, friendly staff, and good food. What more do you need? I also love their motto printed on the menus and staff shirts: "You deserve butter."

If you substitute pancakes (3) out for french toast, it is only one piece. Not a big deal breaker as i am a big back and was full regardless. service was attentive. this is definitely on my recommended list. i want to come back to try their sandwiches, lunch/dinner specials.
