You can indoors or outside if you want to enjoy the fall foliage.

I pass it all the time when I am driving, and so glad that I finally went to check it out today. It's the type of place that you can hang out or have a cozy place to study, as there is seating available in the front and back of the cafe. I was warmly greeted by the barista, who had lots of recommendations. Although I had trouble deciding since everything sounded great, I went with the red velvet iced latte. As I was waiting, I saw lots of food and drink orders being prepared for dine-in, and everything looked Instagram-ready! I would have loved to have stayed to enjoy my drink, but I ordered it to-go instead. My drink was a 10/10 and the perfect combination of chocolatey goodness, coffee and decadence. I highly recommend Roosters and look forward to returning very soon to try some of their seasonal items.

My hubby was in the mood for Taylor ham grilled cheese and they were so accommodating. You can take it to go if you are in a hurry, but there are plenty of places to sit, relax and enjoy time w/ friends or loved ones. I loved that they served the food on real plates too!

Got strawberry to try and it was really good so much flavor. If you're nearby I suggest stopping in for a bagel or two or more for later. I've always picked up extra. If you're able not to eat all of them right away they hold up well for a few days. So more joy at a later date.

Finally stopped in this Saturday afternoon and was pleasantly surprised by the quality and heart packed into this small, eclectic shop. I ordered the butterfly tea, and it was perfection; light, fragrant, and just the right amount of sweetness. My husband had a coffee and gave it his full approval, which says a lot since we're used to bringing back premium coffee beans and chocolate from Cartagena, Colombia during his business trips. So yes, our taste buds are very spoiled. Our daughter was the only one who got her hands on the chocolate Bar we purchased, and let's just say... she devoured it within the day. Her exact words? "Best chocolate I've ever had." So yeah, that bar never stood a chance. While waiting for our drinks, we were treated to samples; mango lassi and lentil soup, both incredibly delicious and culturally authentic. The lentil soup, in particular, had me considering a second round, even though we had stopped in after brunch and I had no business eating more food. The vibe in the shop is a little visually chaotic (the decor doesn't follow a strong theme), but it adds a kind of quirky charm. There was even a setup for a live band, which is wild considering how petite the space is....but I'm here for the ambition! You can also see the chocolatier through a glass window, which added a fun behind-the-scenes feel to the experience. The woman handing out samples was warm and welcoming, and the young lady taking orders was all business, but still kind and efficient. All in all, Mazur is a charming little spot for anyone who truly appreciates high-quality chocolate, great drinks, and a few surprises along the way. We'll definitely be back.

This is a chocolate lab, after all, not to be confused with the dog (though I would've gladly pet one if it showed up with a mocha in its mouth).

The vibe is cozy, the staff is friendly, and the espresso machine hisses with confidence.

Three and a half stars, really. Went for Tuesday lunch, lured in by the menu entry of an open face…read moreturkey sandwich, which I have been craving recently. Adjacent parking lot with enough spaces. Airy open dining area with maybe a dozen tables. I was greeted warmly by a friendly waitress who served me a really strong cup of hot coffee, perfect on this cold day. Ordered a cup of lobster bisque, which was served hot with a package of oyster crackers and another package of saltines. Also ordered that hot open face turkey sandwich. The waitress asked me if I wanted the soup first, or both together, a very thoughtful gesture (I dislike when two courses are served together). Bisque was delicious. Really good. I mean really good, flavorful and soothing and comforting. Then the entree was served, an immense plate with that sandwich and a big pile of mashed potatoes. Sadly, that sandwich wasn't nearly as good as the bisque: quite salty, it wasn't real turkey, but more of a deli turkey. The gravy was good, and I was served plenty of it, but that turkey was quite salty, spoiling the dish. And the vegetables were tasteless things; I had two pieces of carrots, and ignored the rest. Nice ambience, friendly staff, strong coffee and a delicious bisque saved the day. I was left satisfied, yet disappointed. Too bad.

I swear I see someone I know each time I go in there which is pretty cool! The servers feel like my cool aunt or cousin who just happens to bring me yummy food. Yesterday, hubby and I grabbed a quick lunch. I had a tuna wrap and he had an overflowing egg salad sandwich. Both served w/ potato salad, pickle and chips. You can upgrade to fries, but the chips are good! Big portions, so we had 2 meals! This morning we were driving by Lidia's on the way to cut a Christmas tree (btw, their decorations made it even more cozy) I picked up the Lidia's classic which is an English muffin with crispy Taylor ham, egg and cheese. SO GOOD! Hubby got the same but in a omelette w/ home fries and toast while my daughter got the short stack of banana and walnut pancakes.

Lastly the special drunk grandpa pizza was great. Quiet in here tonight but it's a Sunday in a local pub so as expected.

I will leave it to you to decide whether Shakey Jakes Cafe is a dive bar, but they seem to take pride in it. As you will see upon arrival the door mentions that Shakey Jakes is recognized by Yelp & NJ.com as one of the top Dive Bars in Jersey. Bartenders are super friendly, helpful & professional. I sampled Bombay Sapphire, which is offered in a small glass or beer goblet...humm okay I'll bit let's go Big! I ordered the Steamed Clams, which come with croastini. On the menu it is offered with a Cajun Garlic Butter, I replaced that with just the regular drawn butter. Wow--wonderful nice size clams with the toasted bread, delicious. I loved it so much I had a second order. If you are are a steamed clam fan don't forget to sample the clam broth. This place is a keeper. I sent a picture of the front door of Shakey Jakes to my wife and son. I mentioned that "If I go missing this is the place to start." I showed the text to the Bartender, she got a huge kick out of it and said you are not from around here are you?

If I find myself in the area again I would certainly go back for a meal: the menu is extensive and I would love to try several other dishes. Quite an enjoyable meal, and a good value. Recommended.
