From the outside it looks small, but there's a roomy back area with plenty of seating. The coffee was fantastic and came in a small carafe--perfect for two cups, though they offer larger sizes too. Their frittata selection is impressive, with so many delicious options. I went with the bacon, egg, and cheese topped with their famous cheese sauce. Trust me, you need to try it. We also ordered the Egg Benny--omelette pieces topped with home fries, bacon, sausage, and that same signature cheese sauce. Another winner. Ask for their jelly!!!! Wink wink!!! Our server was wonderful--constantly checking in, refilling our water, and making sure we had everything we needed. If you're in the area, definitely stop by. You won't be disappointed.

My wife ordered the Smash Burger. A delicious two-patty delight with a special sauce. I had the Loaded Potato "Pizette." A 14 inch flatbread with mozzarella cheese, pillowy home fries and garlic aeoli, this was delicious, the bread perfect, not too hard, not too soft. We'll be back to try the more breakfasty side of the menu. Recommended!

The manager came over and made jokes with us and checked on us to insure we had a positive experience. Vibe: good restaurant for families, birthdays, elders, parties, kids, handicap accessible.

Drink cups were too small for servers to not be actively refilling. There were enough customers late morning midweek to show me that either the food is pretty good or the locals just don't expect better. Parking was an uphill walk from their one way only back lot. Also, Cash only + ATM is way worse than credit card with a 3% fee unless your bank waives atm fees. I won't go back here, it's worth the drive to find someplace better.

I had never been here before but I quickly got the feeling this is a place for locals and regulars. The waitress just in general did not seem interested in taking our order. She was very short and not friendly. But she was chatting it up with some other people who came in and seemed like regulars, so it just felt a little unwelcoming. However, the food was very very good! I had the eggs benedict and it was perfectly cooked and very delicious. My partner also very much enjoyed her food and said it was cooked to perfection! It's cash only so definitely bring some but there is an ATM in case you forget.

It is a welcoming atmosphere, friendly staff and cute simple decor that has a communal feel. The specials menu had some fun and exciting choices for st Patrick's day! There was also a listing for blueberry pierogies which we decided we just had to try. I think the concept is exciting and new- but the inside of the pierogies were only blueberries which weren't very sweet. We thought it could be even better with the addition of a sweetened ricotta, cream cheese, or mascarpone inside to compliment the berries. There was a drizzle of some kind of icing which was tasty and went well but there wasn't enough of it. We ordered our meals from their regular menu. They must have polish roots because pierogies and kielbasa show up on the menu a few times. I saw "pierogie omelet" and was sold. You can tell their pierogies are freshly made and it makes all the difference. I probably wouldn't get the omelet again because it was kind of a lot happening at once, however, next time I go I think I definitely would like to get the pierogi platter they offer because I enjoyed the kielbasa and pierogies so much. My sister got a strawberry arugula salad with crispy chicken. I did not try it but I tried a piece of chicken and it was deliciously crisp. She said everything was really good and the strawberries were perfect and ripe. My mom, who got the protein pancake with fruit on side agreed. My other sister got a tuna wrap which she also enjoyed. I also like that they do a 1/2 tea 1/2 lemonade with your choice of flavor. I got the raspberry and it was delicious - not too sweet but the flavor was there. Our waitress was a gem and we never felt rushed.

The breakfast bowl is my order almost every time. Bacon and hashbrowns, done right, not swimming in grease. I've tried every other item in the menu and I keep coming back to it. Coffee is genuinely top notch. I drink lattes and theirs are consistent, which is harder to pull off than people think. No burnt shots, no soupy foam. Staff are friendly and mostly Rutgers students, so the faces rotate a bit, but they're always on it. Mo, the owner, is around all the time and is a great guy -- the kind of place where the owner actually knows the regulars. If you're in or around New Brunswick and want a solid breakfast and a real latte, this is the spot. Bonus if you've got a dog with you. If it's the first time with the dog, ask to have their picture taken and added to the wall - if there's any space left. Step inside the bathroom and take a deep down memory lane of the namesake - Friends the TV show. Bathroom is always clean!

The host was super warm and friendly and, since it was our first time, guided us through the menu and gave us some good suggestions. That definitely made a great first impression. I'm vegetarian and don't eat eggs directly, so I got the Vegetarian Ranchero with the egg on the side. They were totally fine accommodating that, and I really enjoyed it. We also tried the guava and cheese empanada, which was a first for me, and honestly it was delicious! I wasn't sure what to expect from that combination, but the sweet guava and cheese were so well balanced. Definitely one of my favorites from the brunch. I also got their signature coffee with refills, which was perfect because we were there to relax, chat, and celebrate. Overall, we really enjoyed our brunch. Good food, friendly service, and a nice atmosphere to just sit and catch up. Such a great first visit, and I'd definitely come back!

I'm vegetarian and don't eat eggs, so I ordered the Mexican Chilaquiles without egg. They were super helpful and substituted the egg with beans and mushrooms, which I really appreciated. A lot of places will just remove the egg, so it was nice that they actually replaced it with something. The chilaquiles were flavorful and filling. My husband got the Quesadilla Mex with veggies, and it was HUGE! It was thick and stuffed really well. He couldn't even finish it. It came with salsa, sour cream, guacamole, and a small basket of fries. For the price, I think the portions here are really good. I also got the iced Coko Moko Latte with coconut syrup, chocolate, and a shot of espresso. Really liked this one! The coconut and chocolate went surprisingly well together with the coffee. The location is convenient too, close to downtown Metuchen and Whole Foods, and they have their own parking lot, which is always a plus around this area. Good food, good portions, friendly service, and a really nice brunch date overall. We'll definitely be back!
