    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.

They have great happy hour specials and staff who are there to honor the deals and give you a fun experience. Nothing worse than walking into a bar because of an advertised deal and the bartender charging you full price because they didn't know anything about the deal. That doesn't happen here which is huge!!! They have multiple TVs and seating areas, which make it perfect for watching sports. Drinks are great and food is delicious. We love the chicken quesadilla and wings. The espresso martini was surprisingly good. We love their drink pitchers as well. Overall you can tell they care about the community, and want to offer a reliable and fun experience in an area that doesn't have too many bars like this. We have returned multiple times since the first time because we love the consistency, fun events, and friendly staff. The only thing they could improve on is the music. When there's a DJ, it's a great night, but when it's up to Touch Tunes there's room for improvement. We still will return whenever we are looking for a good time!

This one pound mozzarella stick definitely fulfilled that criteria. It was so gigantic it was almost like getting a workout in just to lift it. The outside was heavily breaded with bread crumbs and the top was sprinkled with parmesan cheese and chopped scallions. Even the dipping cup was supersized to accommodate the diameter of the stick! Typically, I would have posted until after my I finished my oversized food compilation project. However, it's being posted early because The Brookdale is permanently closing its doors.

For dinner my son got the rib eye cheese steak sandwich with no onions and peppers. He gave me a thumbs up. The bread was nice and soft. I only know this because I moved it to take a picture. I got the half Chicken with rice and beans. Skin on the chicken was crispy and the chicken was juicy. Came with a side of green sauce to dip. Price was very affordable. I hope they get a good jump start and keep the quality right where it is because this has a ton of potential. You can dine in as well if you wanted to.

They do have coffee so that's a plus. And the coffee is made with a French press. Very tasty. They have a good menu. Something for everyone. We started off with the guacamole app and clam chowder. The guacamole is plentiful and tasty. Also the salsa was delish too. My table patrons didn't like the clam chowder. They said it was too salty. For the mains we ordered the roasted chicken, hot chicken sandwich and the Cajun seafood alfredo The Hot chicken was divine and huge. You won't be disappointed with that one. Good amount of spice. The roasted chicken was lemon rosemary jus was delicious as well. I ordered the pasta which was supposed to come with jumbo shrimp and andouille sausage. As soon as I received my dish I asked the waitress where the sausage was, she couldn't answer but went to get her manager. The manager said normally it's under the pasta. Still, no sausage in the pasta. They apologized and made the sausage and added it to the pasta. I wish that was the only issue. The menu states that it's a cajun Alfredo sauce and hate to say but this was just bland. Not flavorful at all. 2 waiters recommended it but I'm not sure why. I'd give it a 2.5 out of 5. The portion size was good but again no real taste. Overall this was a nice place. I just need to study the menu and read more reviews about what to order here.

If you get her as your server, it's a start to a pleasant and great meal. Angelina knows what she's talking about! One feedback would be to learn how to better time the serving of the foods. We got our soup and shrimp cocktail as starters but literally 3 minutes later, our entrees were served to the table. Our entrees got cold while we tried to finish our starters. Please look to have the servers better time the serving of entrees AFTER the starters are finished. I had the New England Clam Chowder and the Prime rib. The clam chowder was tasty but lacked clams. They added andouille sausage to the chowder to give it a nice tasty twist but this should not have taken away from the amount of clams expected in a clam chowder. Prime rib was a good thick cut. But served warm and almost at room temperature. Not exactly how I would like my prime rib. Shoe string fries were tasty. My boyfriend ordered the Clam Chowder and Shrimp Cocktail as starters, followed by Cajun Sea Pasta and a bunch of side dishes - southern Coke slaw, black beans and rice and the loaded baked potato. Shrimps in the shrimp cocktail was good sized shrimp topped with old bay seasoning. The pasta was seasoned just right, very tasty and delicious. Cole slaw was crunchy which meant the Cole slaw was freshly made and not sitting in the sauce for too long. Loaded baked potato was of good size and baked to the right softness. Black beans and rice was the only side dish that was a bit too salty but went great when mixed with the baked potato. Overall, we were impressed with Angelina's services, friendliness of the staff and quality of the foods.

Also there is a parking lot, and they were offering valet when we went. I enjoyed the food I had as an entree (steak frites). What I didn't like was our waiter was constantly trying to up charge us. He kept asking if we wanted to add specific things to all our orders and even if we said no, he still insisted on it. This even occurred with shots of alcohol. I explicitly said I was driving and didn't want it and still shots were brought out with out us even asking. We thought maybe he was being very nice. Or maybe something was included we didn't know about ( what was added were things like a Caesar salad, Brussel sprouts, and sweet potato fries so it easy to see how we didn't see it was things out of the ordinary included as sides for meals) or we were for some reason getting something comped, but that was not the case. Our bill was ASTRONOMICAL. If we didn't have these items we didn't want added on, it would have been fine but this type of way of doing business makes me never want to go back. We considered fighting the bill, but we did eat the food because at the time we thought it was either included or comped. Please be aware of this if you visit this restaurant, and if you are insisted upon adding things to your order learn from our mistake and ask more questions if it's included or make sure you explicitly say NO.

The restaurant when you walk in has a very nice bar area and we were sat in the room just next to it nearby with an electric fireplace wall. It was in the middle of the week and we had a reservation, but it was not crowded at all. However, the server took a very long time to come to take orders to let us know about any specials, and we on a number of occasions had to ask for extra bread or more water. That was highly disappointing. Made the reservation based on Yelp reviews. However, in our experience, we did not have as satisfactory of an experience. members of our party ordered filet mignon, ribeye and short rib, and CB chicken scarpariello, and rigatoni bolognaise. We ordered a number of oysters on the half shell, the buffalo mozzarella, some fried calamari, and Tuna tartare to start and baked clams. Ordered an old fashioned but was too sweet. Pappardelle with large, meaty scallops was the standout. The Steaks were cooked to medium rare and rare as requested. Daughter enjoyed the ravioli. What wasn't as enjoyable and overdone was the rigatoni. The orrechiette with broccoli rabe and sausage was fine but needed healthy sprinkle of cheese for flavor. We brought our own birthday cake from Gencarellis in nearby Bloomfield which was appreciated and ordered some cappuccino and espresso. They already included a 20% gratuity in the bill which was fine for a large party but based on the actual service felt like overtipping.
