The Automat is a great place for breakfast! There is a varied menu, but I suggest the pancakes and…read morethink they're the most worth the cost. The avocado toast, for example, isn't as filling or interesting. The autumn cloud cakes in particular are very fluffy with high-quality maple syrup and delicious cinnamon apple slices. The drinks are also quite good, and I recommend checking out the limited/seasonal menu. There usually is a bit of a wait here, especially on weekends, but there's always parking available. I'd show up early or prepare to wait around 15-20 minutes. The service is pretty efficient, but this is a popular spot, and the tables fill up pretty quickly.

Got the Bombay Masala Omelete which was really well seasoned but felt a tad bit undercooked. Also got the Hot Masala Fries and those were really well made. Wasn't expecting to receive as many fries as we did considering it was a "small plate" menu item, but no complaints. Ordered the lava cake for our sweet tooth cravings, and this one was a bit of a miss for us. This palce is also BYOB, which was nice. My favv and most important part is that this place is dog friendly, so it was nice being able to bring our puppy to brunch with us.

The staff here are all friendly and willing to help you choose a drink when you're unable to decide on your own! They have a lot of options and I went with a matcha latte but next time I'll try their hot chocolate.

I've been wanting to try this coffee shop for a while (for the Matcha and the vibes, of course)…read more Drove down here last Thursday on an absolutely beautiful day. It's located in a strip mall with tons of parking spots. The barista was friendly and quickly took my order, but since he was working alone, it took quite a while to get my drink and bites. I wasn't in a rush, so I didn't mind waiting. We were also entertained by some outside salon drama between two ladies. Hopefully they were able to work things out. As a Matcha aficionado, I wanted to try their honey pistachio Matcha. I also ordered some mozzarella sticks and a Cortado for my husband. My drink was a tad too sweet (too much pistachio syrup), but I still liked it. Mozzarella sticks were fine. I paid about $21 for everything including tip. I like the be kind messages on the cups and the black aesthetic was pretty cool. I wouldn't mind returning to this coffee shop as it was a pleasant drive from my house. I'd like to try some other pastries and definitely will have another matcha, but will request light on the syrup!

It's tucked away in the corner of a cute little shopping area. It's a small shop with a powerful culinary kick. I went on a Sunday afternoon and it wasn't too busy and there was plenty of parking. The sandwich was absolutely delicious. Whatever the sauce is that they put on there. I could eat that with a spoon. I am a self appointed donut connoisseur, Sommelier, aficionado.

This was a lovely hometown cafe that I discovered during my business trip to Edison New Jersey…read more It's more of a bakery than an actual cafe, however they have it set-up very nicely and there are plenty of places to sit and enjoy. They offer a vast selection of cakes and pastries, and I had my eye on the coconut tres leches that looked so scrumptious. It was kind of priced a little bit out of my budget today, and I instead got the gourmet chocolate cupcake. I also ordered a homemade iced tea to go with the cupcake, and they both were very delicious. The service was good and the person behind the counter helped me with a smile. This place is for sure not your typical cafe, and it's really geared for short stays. It's beautiful j side and I would definitely recommend it here whenever you are in the Edison or Metuchen area.

I am usually on the hunt for a cafe where I can stay awhile and get some work done, and while this spot may not be perfect for that exact reason, I am still so happy to have this added to my list of great Metuchen spots. A coworker and I grabbed a table outside on a beautiful day, ordered some food, and while those were coming out, got to work. The waitress was lovely and got us the wifi password no problem. It worked perfectly even outside. The menu is such a wonderful mix of traditional breakfast and lunch items as well as some delicious looking, sounding (and tasting) Mexican dishes. I got the Balsamico wrap which was grilled chicken, mozzarella, roasted peppers, and sundried tomato pesto. It was DELICIOUS but much cheesier and decadent than I expected. I managed to get through half. It comes with either home fries or a salad and I of course went the home fries route. So so yummy. Those did not make it to the doggie bag. The space is big with lots of tables both inside and out. The service is wonderful and quick and the food is fantastic. Give them a try!

Super cute little coffee shop on a super cute Main Street. I got a regular coffee with oat milk. Didn't need any sugar or sweetener. Went down smooth and was so scolding hot that I couldn't drink it for 10 minutes. Instant gratification. Not like a lot of places where you gotta get Cold Brew just so you don't forget you got it and leave it on the corner of your desk until lunchtime. I expect to be in town more often and plan on making this my coffee shop of choice.

There is a good amount of space inside too. Lots of place to sit and drink a hot cup of coffee. Service was great . Always a big fan of Starbucks coffee . They are much better than Dunkin. Had cortado with oat milk and it was super good. Have become a fan of cortado since the day they introduced it few months back . Regular black coffee was also good . Only thing which is always disappointing in Starbucks is their food . Why don't they stop sellling food and just concentrate on coffee ? Their food is like airline food , - no taste , no flavor ! Had the felafel wrap and I promise it's the last time I'm having that :). Apart from food , everything is good about this Starbucks . 4 stars
