    I found this place awhile ago, a woman in my town makes amazing homemade cheesecakes and recently started selling them here. Checked out the shop on Yelp and the food also looked very delicious and was on a mission to try this place out the next time I was in Hackensack. I would consider this place a gourmet Italian coffee shop. Sounds weird but it is just beyond amazing. They have pasta there for sale that I believe is imported from Italy which I decided to take home a bag for myself. They also have Italian beverages and jars of marinated vegetables they sell. I tried it out for the first time yesterday, I went in wanting this pasta and the owner was working, he told me he only does pasta specials on Wednesday but offered to whip me up something if that's what I wanted which I thought was really nice of him to offer! I didn't want him to go through all that just for one dish so I decided to try the chicken Parmesan and my husband ordered a chicken cutlet. The bread was SO FRESH and the sauce was made to perfection, I was amazed at every bite I took. I also tried my husbands chicken cutlet and it was also outstanding. We finished our meals and then decided to have some of that homemade cheesecake (which I already knew would be delicious) and some coffee. The owner was very genuine and kind and we enjoyed talking to him. Great service great food. Easily 5 star worthy and I already can not wait to return.

    Such a warm friendly atmosphere

    A great find 2 blocks from the NJ Courts in Hackensack. If you have jury duty (like I did) or simply in the area this is a great place to visit. I had the roasted eggplant panini and it was large and superb. They roast eggplant with a crushed garlic and some fine oil, and layer it with tomatoes and mozzarella. I enjoyed their espresso while I caught up on work in a friendly quiet environment. It's obvious the owner (show in photo) puts in his all!

    I was around the area and wanted to take a coffee break and found this place through Yelp. They have street parking. Once I entered in, it had a really chill and welcoming vibe. Was gonna just get a regular coffee but ended up getting the iced mochaccino. It was delish. Place is fairly priced. If your around the area and need a coffee break, this is def the spot.

    I asked surprise me with something healthy no carbs. I got this crazy good meal!

    I can't say enough wonderful things about this amazing place. What a find!!! A little coffee and food cafe run by a very passionate guy of Italian decent. The food is ALL fresh and done well. Nothing outrageous or fous fous. Simple and tasty fresh food like you'd expect from an Italian farmhouse kitchen of an old fabulous grandma. I said I didn't want to eat heavy or big so surprise me with a grilled chicken and salad something. I got the most wonderfully seasoned fresh grilled chicken breast. The salad was ridiculously fresh mixed greens with marinated mixed mushrooms, marinated grilled onions and sundried tomatoes. The vinaigrette was homemade from the tastiest vinegar. I don't know what kind of vinegar it was but it had a fruity mild tang without the rough bitterness of your typical vinaigrette. To be honest it tasted like my dad's homemade sherry vinaigrette that rocks and I haven't had in years. The grilled veggie sandwich was delicious on the freshest tastiest focaccia. And that ziti and braciole. Do you see that braciole? If that doesn't look like an authentic Sunday gravy braciole then you didn't grow up in an Italian house like I did. The sauce was bright and tomatoey. But that's just the food. There is a very extensive coffee menu and while we didn't have any, no doubt it is amazing too. The vibe is fantastic. They have a friendly little seating area with seats and a sofa as well as table seating. I could go to this place to sit and eat and hang out every day! And I didn't even get to the food he sells. Jars of marinated veggies and a whole host of speciality flavored panettones for Christmas. Yes I stocked up. This is a new favorite. Go. Trust me.

    Tiramisu and Double Espresso

    Hidden gem in Hackensack - lovely Italian coffee shop that serves strong, aromatic espresso, not the watery stuff you would get elsewhere. The owners are very amicable and true to their craft. The tiramisu was okay but perhaps i will try a different dessert next time. I look forward to visiting again. There's plenty of seating to converse with friends or settle down with a laptop.

    I loved this cute coffee shop. There is fast wifi, plenty of seating, and great food and drink! I tried the Caprese Salad which was very fresh and tasty! The latte was also very strong and well made. It definitely tasted like the coffees I've had in Italy. The service is very relaxed and low key. I felt very welcomed and comfortable.

    If you're looking to support a small business coffee shop, Coffee Break needs to be your top choice. This little cafe has quite the ambience and should be your next go-to morning spot. I got the Bacio which was very tasty and perfect for your Instagram feed. The Egg Frittata with bacon and cheese was also freshly made and a nice food option to go with my coffee. Definitely recommend if you're in the Hackensack area.

    Nutellino
    Nikki E.

    I order a coffee drink. I want to try something different which is Nutellino. This drink has a mixture of Nutella, whip cream, and espresso. This place is a good spot where you can grab a coffee and study spot for college people to come by.

    Breakfast Panini

    Friendly service, great coffee and breakfast panini. Panini was much bigger than I expected and so good. I like the fact that most casual places like this would probably serve the coffee in a paper cup but here it was in a real mug. Nice. I couldn't resist the orange Nutella crepe! So good!

    Nutellino

    Stopped by for a coffee break with my good friend, Jabriel J. It's an Italian coffee shop, with cute artsy decor and seating. Unfortunately, they close pretty early. The guy running the place seemed pretty unenthusiastic on a Wednesday afternoon, but he wasn't a dick either. They have free Wi-Fi, and a pretty limited food menu. I can imagine this would be a good spot to study or do work if they would stay open past 5:30pm. I got their Nutellino, which was basically a cup of espresso, lined with Nutella, topped with whipped cream. It was a decent drink. I like the spot

    First off Marco and Dominick are the sweetest. Their hospitality goes above and beyond expectations. Place is clean and cozy. Favorite on the menu is the nutellino! So delicious and chocolatey!! Fridays and Saturdays they make dinner which We are looking forward to having! They definitely have us as a customer.

    Nutella and Banana Crepe - Tasty!

    The hazelnut latte was really good, but the drip coffee was worse than my home drip coffee. I'd say the price was very friendly.

This day I said, "Today is the day and I'm getting a freaking sandwich from this joint.", so I rode my road bike here and it was a good 25 minute bike ride to get there. But when I finally got there it was surprisingly closed. I was confused because Yelp says they open at 8am and here I was there at 8:30 am and closed. I was super disappointed and was like ok today isn't the day I'm getting this sandwich but hey at least I got a nice workout getting here and back. Just when I was about to leave something told me to call and lo and behold Cosmo answered. He said they open at 9am and that he was making fresh mozzarella before they opened for the day. I told him on Yelp it says your open at 8 am and he said Yelp makes up their own hours but for me to wait and he'll make me the sandwich and it should be ready in 10 minutes. Awesome and he did do the selection #1 sandwich in 10 min and all before he was officially opened for me consisting of sopp, capp, salami, ham, fresh mozz, sharp provolone, sweet peppers and LTO. That was awesome customer service to me. So as I went inside to pay, he told me $10. In my mind,"I'm like seriously for this heavy sandwich I thought it would be at least $12. What a great deal" I thought. I paid and thanked him and rode my bike home burning off some calories before putting them back with this sandwich . It is a pretty good sandwich and for the price you would pay at a crappy Subway place. I can see why this place is popular and will be back for more sandwiches. Highly recommend as a good value sub place for the quality of ingredients you get at a great price. You're welcome and remember be nice to each other.

The sheer range and abundance of products is staggering. Everything from fresh produce to pantry essentials, frozen goods to specialty items, you'll find everything you need for an Asian cooking and more. They carry a wide variety of fresh produce, and all the Asian household staples you could think of and want. While the prices are not the cheapest, they are fair for the area. The shelves are stocked with a diverse selection of authentic ingredients from various Asian countries so whatever cuisine you're craving, you'll be most likely able to find it here. There is a humongous snack section, a well stocked liquor area, and like all of their locations, a food court and prepared meats section. The 99 Ranch Market is tidy and organized and every bit of space is thoughtfully used. You'll find pallets of discounted noodles, canned goods, and snacks all neatly displayed without feeling chaotic at the front of the store as you enter. The employees are helpful. While the checkout lines can be long on weekends, they move surprisingly fast. It only shows me that the cashiers are very efficient what they do. It's located at the Home Depot strip mall. Parking is ample on weekdays, but it can get a little crazy on the weekends.
