This restaurant was such a great find! To be honest, it doesn't look like it would be much from the outside (cute, but curb appeal could use some work). However, when you go inside, it feels like a blend of coffee house meets sandwich shop. The hostess greeted us with a sincere welcome and showed us to a table. At the time, we were the only ones in the place, but it quickly started filling up. I ordered the eggs, homefries, fruit with multigrain toast. Delicious! My significant other ordered an omelette with ham and fresh roasted vegetables. He very much enjoyed his dish. We split an order of the pancakes... perfectly cooked: slightly crispy outside, fluffy inside and very flavorful. Finally, the coffee was so good I even purchased a bag of whole beans to brew at home. I highly recommend making this a stop while in the area. It's so nice to find a place that takes pride in good quality food and cooking. read more

Lahaska, Pa has a reputation for being overly touristy, especially in warmer weather. The label is earned by gitchy shops and bad traffic. Yet, if you are able to rise early and cruise the rolling hills and farmers' fields of Bucks County and reach Chive Cafe before 9, there is a good chance of finding a table, or even an empty sun drenched front porch, and settle in for a excellent country breakfast. Such was our good fortune on this picture perfect Saturday morning. Blue skies. White clouds. 75 degrees. Windows down. Windblown hair. Bob Seger tunes. We parked in back and walked in through the kitchen door, found our way to the front porch facing Rt. 202, and chose a deuce against the inner wall. La Colombe joe arrived in large colorful mugs. The small breakfast menu led us directly to their sandwiches. One based in lamb sausage for me, and in grilled ham for my beautiful companion. Fried egg. Melted cheese. Cut fruit and home fries (extra) completed the plates. The "#3" sandwich stuffed into a toasted & buttered brioche-style roll; Lamb Sausage, Feta Cheese, Roasted Tomato, Grilled Onion and Fried Egg. The meat appeared to be thinly sliced to provide more savory flavor. All the parts played well together, but the Feta and Lamb were major elements, while the Egg, Onion and Tomato were minor scale. Very tasty, especially when "animalizing" it by throwing the Home Fries into the fray and pressing down. "#2" exchanged Country Ham, American Cheese and Herb Mayo for the strong parts of the above, and put them into a traditional Kaiser Roll. Its statement was more reserved, but a solid chew and swallow. The taters added some greasy zest. There is more to the offerings at lunch and dinner. Local sourcing is a priority. The La Colombe coffee was strong and flowing freely. If country atmosphere is part of your delight, Chive Café provides it is copious quantities. Definitely worth another look later in the day. read more

This place was loved by all of my critical friends. It's hard to please even, but this place did! The rye bread was the best ever had. If they had freshly squeezed orange juice and cappuccino, they would've been 6 stars We will be going back when in the area again! read more

I was at Peddler's Village for the Peach Festival. Everything seemed so packed that I was just about to walk to my car to leave to find somewhere else to go for lunch. This place is tucked away from the main area, so I stumbled upon it. I was so happy I did! It's a small place with indoor and outdoor seating. I chose to sit outside, being it was so nice outside. The menu isn't huge, but it packs a bang. I noticed they serve breakfast all day, but I went for a black bean burger. It was huge and delicious. It came with a side of quinoa salad that I fell in love with. It reminded me of the seaweed salad I get when I go out for sushi, so it was a win for me. The person I was with ordered the "Chive Burger," which was a cheeseburger with bacon essentially, but that was also equally amazing. His came with a side of handcut fries....also very very good. You can definitely tell that the food here is cared about and made with love. I will be back. For sure. read more

I've been here for breakfast but never tried their lunch until today. I ordered the Grilled Vegetable Sandwich. It was a mix of grilled vegetables served on a baguette with pesto and mozzarella. It was served with pickles and a macaroni salad. The Sandwich was delicious! The macaroni salad was light but tasty. I left feeling very full! The staff is friendly. The service was fast. I had my Sandwich within 5 minutes of ordering. If you are planning a trip to Peddler's Village, do yourself a favor a stop in for breakfast or lunch. You will be happy you did. read more

Chive Cafe - Omelet #2 - Cafes Near Me - Lambertville, New Jersey

Cute little restaurant in Peddler's Village. Stopped in for breakfast and everyone left happy and stuffed. Breakfast sandwich with eggs, smoked bacon, avocado, and cheese on a brioche bun was great, the fried chicken special sandwich was awesome (although the piece of chicken was a little too big), the breakfast burrito was simple but good and we also had the dollar pancakes and they were also tasty! It's a little country style restaurant in one room and the other side of the restaurant you can order food at the counter. The service was also very nice, attentive and friendly. Great little spot to stop in for breakfast in Peddler's. read more

Superb choice for lunch if you're spending time in the Peddler's Village. The Chive Cafe has a concise lunch menu featuring soups, salads and sandwiches, perhaps 20 options total. While it's not the most diverse/extensive menu out there, it's a solid option for the area and the food quality was reasonably good. Service was excellent. Our table got a Cobb salad, roasted turkey sandwich with avocado and bacon, a BLT, fries, and a chicken, spinach and egg soup. I tasted a bit of everything and can say that each dish was well above average. The sandwiches were good (I believe the turkey is roasted in house), fries were fresh and awesome, the salad was well made. Oh, that reminds me; my favorite part of the meal was the panko crusted, deep fried artichoke hearts that came with the salad. I could have easily eaten 50 of those. Absolutely delicious. One minor downside was the chicken in the soup. While the flavor was good, I could have sworn the meat was from a can. To be fair, perhaps they just overcooked it somewhat. Who knows. Just a minor gripe, anyway and it certainly didn't detract from an overall great lunch. Total with tip and drinks for 4 people was $45. Not too shabby. Would definitely stop by again. read more

Chive is a true gem in the New Hope/Lahaska/Peddlers Village area. The atmosphere is very quant and staffed with employees that truly care about your dining experience. The ingredients used are always fresh, locally sourced and prepared to perfection. If you're looking for great food, a quant environment and friendly people Chive is a must visit. Tried: Cheddar Bacon Omelet: Fluffy real eggs, with a copious amount of bacon and cheddar cheese. Lamb Sausage (Homage), Fried Egg, Roasted Tomato's and Feta on a Brioche Bun: What's not to love about this sandwich with the delicate balance of flavors that tease and please your taste buds. Leg of Lamb Sandwich: Wow, this is an amazingly tasty sandwich. Nice sized chunks of tender lamb topped with brie and caramelized onions on French bread. Melts in your mouth. Skirt Steak Salad: Well-seasoned, tender slices of steak on a bed of fresh greens. - Healthy alternative. Chive Burger: A fresh, ground meat formed patties (not a frozen), minimally seasoned with cheese and sautéed onions on a fresh bun. read more

Had a great breakfast today with 20 other picture framers here. Great food. Fabulous service. The new layout is open and inviting. The new owners have certainly have made it their own. Even with our group of 20 there was plenty of room for others to enjoy their breakfasts. read more

I've been going to this local restaurant for years and it is fantastic. This restaurant is perfect example of simple food done fresh and right. Now I just avoid wknds because word is out and full. Burgers are great, 3 side salad is great and kids chick fingers are fantastic. Can't go wrong. 5 stars are not given often but this place is solid. read more

Great takeout lunches during Covid-19. The sides of pearl-pasta salad and pickles are a nice added touch.

Fantastic experience, great food and a variety of options for the whole family. I had the shrimp po boy which was great and the bread was extremely fresh. My wife had the grilled veggie sandwich and loved it too. I will deffinately be back on our next trip to lambertville. read more

Tried this place twice and both times was very disappointed . Stale bread, brownies that you could break a tooth on, and not fresh ingredients. I will not be back. read more

Great food! Very cute little place with a family feel, delicious food, and nice service. I had the chive turkey which was extra tasty and my family ordered a variety of things off the menu. We enjoyed everything! The French fries are soooo good too. Omelets are awesome and the portions are very generous. read more

Chive Cafe - Turkey chive with side salad - Cafes Near Me - Lambertville, New Jersey

This little local gem is my go to place for Sunday breakfast/brunch. I know I'll be welcomed with a friendly smile and fresh brewed coffee. The food is great and they always offer interesting specials. read more

My parents went here a few weeks back during the peach festival and wanted to take me. As a vegetarian, I am always on the lookout for great local places with vegetarian food. This place is tiny but it's very cute. I had the veggie burger and enjoyed picking out my own salad as a side. I had the quinoa. There were a ton of side salads to choose from. My mom order the veggie sandwich which had fried artichokes and hummus. I had half of it and it was delicious! I liked it better then my burger. The burger was good but I have had better. It needed more flavor and fell apart when I tried to eat it. I like that you can help yourself to fresh ice tea or water. We had the carrot cake for dessert and that wasn't very good. I should have gotten the brownie. Overall, the food is fresh and the staff is very friendly. It's very affordable and great spot for lunch. read more

Excellent sandwiches and breakfast, good coffee and lots of personality. Off street parking

We used the caterer portion of Chive Cafe and the food was amazing and the server was top shelf. We hosted 80 people and everyone loved the food. I am very happy how everything turned out and the server was top shelf. read more

You had me at cheesy grits! Just fabulous! Best breakfast I've had in years! Good quick service! Fantastic prices! Completely satisfied! Thanks! read more

We came from out of town and this looked like a nice spot. There was an error in the order, the chorizo was given instead of lamb egg sandwich they would not refund and stated it must be charged again. On top of that they did not have the home fries ready with the order. Yet, other customers who came after us received there complete order. The server also ignored our table when it came to checking on our water. We brought this to the managers attention who didn't want to hear the criticism and said it's his second day. That's no excuse for choosing to ignore when you walk by there table but ask the tables beside us. If a customer makes a mistake it's one thing, yet there was no sense of customer service when we compromised on 1 dish, they showed no sense of customer awareness when it came to having everything ready on time. Food was good however the establishment seems entitled to themselves, not the customer. read more

Totally delicious and a great healthy alternative. Super friendly folks. Their BLT was perfect and came with a delicious mini grain salad for free. I wish the owners all the best in their new spot. We'll be back for sure. read more

Amazing food. Buttermilk fried chicken sandwich is out of this world. Also really good breakfast and coffee !!

I think I'm done trying this place. You can't sit an hour before they close. Made my order incorrectly... twice. Food was burned and sloppy. Tasted recooked. Everything here is really dirty. The floors, countertops, tables, drink fridge, cases that held the food, the food, and the self serve coffee station literally had toilet paper on it. I'm a local and this was my go to place like 2-3 years ago and I keep revisiting hoping they've cleaned up, but it's just not good. I even tried their catering and that's slid over the last few years too... like they forgot to show up for their catering gigs. Though the employees are pleasant, I think this was my last try. read more

Chive Cafe - Today's specials - Cafes Near Me - Lambertville, New Jersey

Visited Rice's market and decided to stop somewhere close for lunch. Saw the reviews and decided to give this place a try. Really cute little place. Got indoor seating and a nice patio area as well. The staff was super friendly and helpful. They gave us great suggestions on the food. We got a few different sandwiches, fries and fried artichoke. All were delicious. Portions are good. Everything was fresh and yummy. Will definitely come back here again if I'm in the area. read more

This review is really about how unpleasant our initial walking in experience was here . There is a sign that asks you to please wait to be seated .... We did for 5 mins and the cashier waited on take out customers not even acknowledging our presence . It wasn't until someone that came in after us was being helped that I spoke up and said "Excuse me, can we take a seat " 3 xs before the cashier ( and Apparently owner ) snarled back at us that she was helping someone else . I immediately said back to her that we've been waiting to be seated well before this customer was even in line . What a way to start this lunch huh ? This owner/cashier/hostess couldn't be any less hospitable and welcoming . We sat down , ordered . The burger was fine . The roast beef sandwich was fine . The French fries were either a bit undercooked or overcooked and looked like the bottom of the basket to be honest . Our waitress was lovely and accommodating and was tipped to reflect her good service . Do I suggest eating here ? Meh . Breakfast which I have had here before seems better than the lunch offering. Will we return ? Probably not anytime soon . read more

Cannot go wrong choosing lunch here. Dog friendly with ample shaded outside seating. Very friendly staff.

Nice stop for a delicious lunch on our way back to the city. It's set in beautiful Lahaska, PA in a quiet and peaceful setting. You can dine inside or choose one of their many tables outdoors. We had burgers, chicken and noodles, and a falafel sandwich. All well cooked and the portions were generous with a very reasonable price. Staff was exceptionally courteous and friendly. A delightful break from tourist traps and chain restaurants. read more

Great food and service! Love their short rib chili, Cobb salad and southern chicken sandwich.

Deeelicious sandwich. Fresh, clean, friendly. Small place I've seen for decades (literally) but never went-in; it's about 100 ft behind a parking lot at Peddler's Village, which was too far for my lazy butt to wander, until now. They were nice about my substitutions (they called me the sub-everything sandwich) Sandwiches have ingredients such as arugula, Boursin, horseradish mayonnaise... A welcome change to the usual sub-shops in the area. read more

The lamb sausage was out of this world! Roast beef was wonderful and the fried artichokes are a must have! Short rib chili was fantastic! Quaint, quiet, relaxing and very very good food. Would definitely come again. read more

Absolutely amazing!! My wife and I both enjoyed the Chives Burger, it was delicious!! The workers are all very friendly!! Will definitely be coming back. Best part - homemade hand cut French fries and onion roll, yum! read more

Stopped in for lunch based on yelp reviews! Lived up to the expectations . Great outside seating for nice weather. My salad was amazing. Fried artichoke hearts, chicken, bacon, cheese .. yum!

Sandwich was tasty (fried chicken sandwich) and was hot. Could definitely use more seasoning, but it was otherwise good. The drink menu also looked good, but we ended up going elsewhere for coffee. One thing that was great - dedicated off-street parking on a Saturday afternoon! I'd come back here in a heartbeat - everyone was friendly and it was cute. I'll be back! read more

I've never had cous cous before and I didn't know what I was missing. Cous cous came with my BLT and I could have eaten an entire plate of it. It was creamy and dreamy. The staff was very nice and altered my BLT to include a hard boiled egg instead of over easy. I'll definitely be back! read more

I had a falafel sandwich and substituted barbecue sauce for tahini. It was delicious. The service was excellent. Would highly recommend.

As a pancake snob, it means a lot to say that the folks over at Chive Cafe make the BEST pancakes ever!! The outer rim was toasty and sweet, overall they were fluffy and perfectly round, divinely yummy. I almost skipped out on the delicious maple syrup (the authentic stuff not that Aunt Jemima which is for those with an indiscriminate palate). The sausage links were scrumptious as well. I was surprised by this as I am usually a bacon type of gal. My companion had an omelette which was quite good. They have a nice outdoor seating and the staff is very pleasant and attentive, a perfect illustration of the general demeanor of the New Hope town's culture. Can't wait to visit again soon. Ps the pancakes are only available on the weekend. :-( read more

We stopped in here at the recommendation of some friends, and wow!! This is clearly not your run-of-the-mill sandwich stop - it leans toward the gourmet eclectic. They have about a dozen sandwiches, about half as many salads and a few soups and appetizers. The ingredients were fresh and the bread apparently comes from a local baker - really, really good! Jon, the owner brought us a small sample of his wings and a few fried artichokes to start. The lamb sausage with Gorgonzola and 'Bubba's Brisket' with cheddar and roasted tomatoes were both great. I prefer a little meat in my sandwich, but the "Killer Veggie", with fried artichoke hearts, hummus and red peppers (on a big Pita) was good too. Next time, the Italian Hoagie - great looking meats sliced right there. They don't sell wine or beer, but we brought our own and sat on the sunny back patio. This is a great place for a relaxing leisurely lunch - though, I think they deliver locally around the Peddler's Village area and cater too! read more

Quick, prompt. Had the #1 breakfast sandwich which came with a little side of fruit salad. Friendly staff and calm atmosphere.

Since writing my last review I've not only had the opportunity to try lunch but they have also stepped up their game and started delivery which is AMAZING! Breakfast sandwiches are still really good but I'm happy to report their lunch sandwiches are also delicious. My favorite is the pan fried chicken sandwich which I believe has sautéed spinach and cheese. It's so good. Keep it up Chive! read more

Quaint atmosphere coupled with great food and good service. A comfortable, casual but intimate place. Our healthy lunch included carrot ginger soup, a roast beef horseradish sandwich with fried onions (just enough for taste and crunch. Give this place a try. You won't be disappointed. read more
