It's currently soup season as I write this review, and on a particularly frigid December workday, I…read moreventured out. Let me tell you, boy am I glad I did. I'm honestly not sure what was more impressive to me; the soups or the sandwiches. I guess I'll start with their namesake, the soup. First time I came here I tried the French onion, since what better 'simple' soup to judge a soup place by, right? Excellent, right out of the gate - utterly bursting with caramelized onion flavor, and just a hint of brandy, I believe? I later came back and tried the Thai coconut and "thanksgiving dinner" soups, with each one seriously cramming a ton of flavor into each bite. Never thought I'd be blown away by soup, of all things, but here we are. The sandwiches are just as good as the soups were, and are priced really fairly for the quality and portion you get. Most of their sandwiches are made on their homemade "pesto bread", which may be the moistest, softest bread I've had in years. If you can't decide, they seem to run specials frequently, where you can get a sandwich & cup of soup. The only 'negative' I can think of is that since sandwiches are made to order, it can take ~10-15 mins to get sandwiches and the like, but this isn't a McDonalds, so I feel like that's expected. Besides, your patience is greatly rewarded. Skip the chain food; there's some really inspired, friendly folks here cranking out some of the best stuff in town. Well worth a visit, imo!

Looked at online rating: 4.8. So decided to have breakfast…read morehere. Opened at 730am, I was the first customer. You place your order with cashier or kiosk. Self service coffee. Little deceiving on line said cappuccino But it's from powder in coffee machine, Not from an expresso machine. Only had whole or low fast milk. No half and half. Had soy milk. House blend coffee was okay. Breakfast served on a paper plate. Home fries deeply fried. Omelette- some of the onions inside the omelet was actually cold. I went to throw out my cup and plate. Had cup in left hand and plate on right hand. I took 3 steps and the plate collapsed, My quick reaction was to place the cup under the plate to stabilize the plate. In doing so I spilled some coffee on the floor. After disposing of plate and cup. I went back to spill to clean it. Employee walked past me and didn't even offer to help. As I was leaving. Employee stocking plastic cups behind cashier counter, a cup fell to the floor. The employee picked it up and placed it with the other cups. Through out the cup please! Bathroom toilet needed to be cleaned. I was the first customer Bathroom should be clean and it was not. Do not recommend at all.

The service is very friendly, and the prices are fair, but the food could be better…read more The tuna melts and pizza knishes are okay. The scrambled eggs and omelets sub-par. The soups are not bad. It's a small place, and they seem to often run out of this type of muffin or that type of baguette, etc. Their choice of soups and salads is also subject to availability.

Each of them were fantastic, plus we walked out spending $45 for 3 people. The atmosphere is chill. It's a sit-down, waiter service restaurant, though you pay at the counter after eating. This is definitely a family-friendly restaurant through and through. I would highly recommend Panini Cafe to anyone. Come and enjoy this because I definitely am.

Most of the customers seem to be local women from Lakewood. They basically have soup, salads, and freshly made juice options. I kind of wish that the salad had been made to order because I like my veggies crunchy, but there were only available out of the fridge. However, once I tried it, it tasted as if it had been recently prepared. My buddy liked his smoothie and tuna sandwich. All the food is meatless since it's a dairy restaurant. The way you order seemed a little confusing to me because different items came from different places. The food prices were also very expensive, but kosher food always is. I liked how the whole place has a new and clean feel.

Leashed and friendly dogs are allowed to dine inside the really beautiful and naturally decorated dining space. Veteran-owners, the couple Mangeli and John are the sweetest and most helpful in ensuring your food is fresh, high quality, and will make you feel good. Not only that, but they also offer fruit arrangements and bouquets! We loved the loaded avocado toast, berry toast, and Brie gobbled down her peanut butter toast! They just launched a great new website where you can order online for pickup or delivery! Located in the Howell Plaza Shopping Center right on Route 9 South.

OMG!!! I was…read moreintroduced to this fantastic Juice/Smoothie Shop by my Mini-Me.. the love of finding new places to enjoy has definitely not been lost on her. She told me I needed to check it out! So this past 6/10, I did just that. EVIDENTLY, we like the same stuff in our smoothies too, because the owner asked if my daughters name was (name) and I said yes! LOL So here's the scoop, the owners wife came up with the delicious recipes and I have only had the Caramel Apple and it was so refreshing. Now, my Mini-Me has been going here practically every day and also picking up healthy juices and smoothies for her co-workers at a local (Auto Mall) so, you have to know, that these tasty smoothies are Certified Delicious!! Now, they don't open until 9:30 am, but hopefully this changes in the future for those of us who like juices/ smoothies to get our day started. BUT.... if you are looking for a new healthy lunch option, did I mention they have some great healthy salad options, Avocado toasts, or grab a meal replacement Smoothie. They even offer 3 or 6 day juice wellness cleanse and monthly Juice and Memberships. Support this new healthy business and enjoy.

Another place we've passed countless times and never went in, until today…read more We were a bit concerned when walking in and the place was empty at 4pm on a Saturday. But looking at the fixins bar (Chipotle-esque), everything appeared fresh and clean so we chalked it up to a lull in business and freezing weather. I opted for a gyro bowl, my wife got a bowl with falafel. The lady at the counter really didn't speak English well at all, it took a few tries to get our order in. Once it was in she did tell us to sit and she'd bring it to us. As we sat we looked around, the place is cool. Decorated nice with a few tables. Lots of evil eyes all over. The food came out, nice and hot, good sized servings. We were pleasantly surprised as our expectations were low. For our taste they went a bit too aggressive with the feta and red onions. Otherwise all good. Looking forward to returning.

This means that a terrible crap storm is coming in. Prepare to fire liquid-hot magma-like projectiles from your behind before the night is over. I'd strongly suggest paying the extra deposit to reserve your own personal stall in the men's room. I decided to risk it during my last venture which resulted in a shameful night of waddling out of the place into my car as lava-like excrement splashed out of my shoes. I did manage to make a run for it, without even leaving the tip!

For a while now, I have considered going to Flysh, but never got the chance to. Finally, I managed…read moreto get my way to Lakewood to enjoy their unique menu. Brand: 5/5 Flysh is a kosher eatery specializing in burgers and sandwiches in Lakewood. Its on-point brand remains consistent in the physical sign above the establishment, and everywhere else. Eateries that do this do a good job with branding, since it establishes an identity easy to memorize for any new customers. The angular letters with smooth edges, almost resembling the Hebrew alphabet, give Flysh its upbeat identity. Website: 5/5 It offers you a good introduction to Flysh, with its simple color scheme and images of three of its notable menu items. It never overwhelms you as you scroll through the main page. When you go to the delivery menu, using the Toast Tab app, you get to see many menu items with images attached to them. Wait Time: 5/5 I did not wait long for my order. It took me ¾ of the way into my writing before my name was announced, which befitted a complicated dish like my order. Ambiance: 5/5 Well-cleaned and well-scented, the interior of Flysh has a pretty decent dining area, with booths and tables along a comfortable seating row. All of this had enough space between them. The music plays Israeli pop throughout the establishment. The menu offers you a glimpse at the ingredients of each dish, so you know what you are getting yourself into. All of which had a festive selection, including state fair inspiration with the fried Oreos, onion rings, Texas fries, and steak skewers. Food: 5/5 I ordered their signature chicken sandwich, the Lakewooder. It consists of a schnitzel, hot pastrami, Russian dressing, lettuce, tomato, pickles, and red onions. The schnitzel and the pastrami become the main bulk to taste in this sandwich, for both of them had a well-prepared texture. The pickles and red onions give it the right amount of sharpness, while the Russian dressing enriches it with a hearty flavor. The two additional sauces it came with also enhanced the flavor. I can see how the Lakewooder would serve as a representation of both Flysh and Lakewood itself. It has a pleasant flavor that melts away the problems of your day with every bite. Along with every other menu item on their website, the Lakewooder looks enticing to try. It gave me a pleasant mood throughout the day, with no regrets of ever going to Flysh. The schnitzel had a well-prepared form, appropriate for the time it took to wait for it. The staff handled my order with care, placed within a wrapper upon a cardboard basket. Service: 5/5 The staff managed to acclimate me into Flysh with patiently providing me with a physical menu. They managed to get my order right without any problems. The service gave me a good first impression of the establishment. Nothing about the ambiance disrupted my experience with the service, since they clearly care about it and their food. Cost: 4/5 The solid, consistent brand gives Flysh a standalone status in Lakewood, either physically or digitally. The meat in the Lakewooder give Flysh its name, since it is Yiddish for "meat." I also love how signature dishes represent the specific places of the eateries that serve them. The Lakewooder manages to do that. The website does Flysh justice with its menu items having their own images. If I lived in Lakewood, I would definitely become a returning customer based on the menu images alone. As someone who went to 100 eateries within a single year, I can say that high prices are unavoidable, and that some hustle-and-bustle, bumper-to-bumper areas have higher prices. The same is true for the Lakewooder. However, I do not know if I would negotiate through traffic just to arrive again. Considering the good vibes the Lakewooder gave me, I would like to try different menu items in the future. I can find no substantial suggestions I could give to Flysh, since every aspect works in concert with each other. The only suggestion I could think of is investing in a food truck for celebrations and state fairs if they evolve as a business. Rating: 5/5 Stars Rounding between four or five stars, I ultimately give Flysh five stars, since I see so much potential for this establishment. If I ever find myself in Lakewood with someone else, I would absolutely recommend them Flysh for the first time. For a lot of other Gentiles, it serves as an eatery that can defy a lot of stereotypes they may blindly believe. Recommend To... Anyone in Lakewood looking for an upbeat place to hang out.
