Intrinsic is a cute, convenient little cafe! I live right down the street from it and I personally…read morelove how late it is open. My husband and I had a little late night coffee date after a day of journaling and reflecting and it was nice to sit and chat here. It feels very homey, but I will say that the inside can get very loud with a bunch of people crowded in the small space. The decor is a little funny, seems kinda random - but I love the genuine vibe! The service was really good, I like the big chalk board menu. It's aesthetically pleasing to look at. I tried a matcha vanilla cupcake and it was soooo good. Normally matcha stuff tastes like grass to me but it was really well balanced with the vanilla. Neither was overpowering and it made it a very refreshing dessert. I can see intrinsic becoming a regular spot in my life!

Great spot for a Matcha on a Sunday. The staff is chill with an amazing memory and the drinks are…read moreconsistently on point. There is almost always music playing and I really appreciate them taking orders over the phone and online. They also have this cool complimentary option of personalizing your cup with a black & white photo of you if you ask. I've also had the turmeric latte and the avocado toast which are worth getting again. The toast was fresh and flavorful. They have an enclosed booth that looks like it seats 4. Great for a little open privacy. The couches are quite comfortable as well. They have punch cards which is good, but I'm terrible with remembering so it would be great if they went digital with rewards. Maybe 1 point per visit or 1 point per $1 with tiered rewards. It's the only coffee shop I go to in the area that doesn't have digital rewards. Would love to see more vegan options on the menu, maybe a cinnamon roll lol. Con is they open late for a cafe. Coffee shops typically open at 7am.

I finally made it over to Harper's on a Sunday around noon for a late breakfast, and honestly…read more.. Harper's is the cutest. The vibes alone are worth the visit. It's cozy, small, has warm décor, friendly staff, just enough seating, and the music overhead was chef's kiss. And bonus: it's a Black-owned business, which I will always support. We ordered a small iced coffee with oat milk and sugar, an iced chai latte, the grilled cheese with arugula, and the egg platter. Everything was pretty good -- I wasn't blown away, but it was solid and seasoned well. I really wanted to try the French toast because I've heard so many good things, but they told me it would be a 30-minute wait. Our food ended up taking about 20 minutes anyway, so honestly, I probably should've just held on and waited for it. Next time! Prices are what you'd expect for a coffee shop in the suburbs of West Orange. We lucked out with a parking spot right in front, but parking in that area can definitely be tricky. They also sell Harper's Café merch -- t-shirts, sweatshirts, and quarter zips. I'm definitely going back to try the French toast and the pancakes because I saw several people ordering them, so they must be worth it. This is a great place to hang out, read a book, get some work done, chat with a friend, or vibe solo. Harper's Café gives you all the good feels, and I'll absolutely be returning. One note: the menu is limited, and not everything you see online may be available that day -- just something to keep in mind.

We were on a drive visiting town and made this our first stop. The space is cozy but large enough for several tables, a couch, a table offering up free books, a shelf filled with magazines, and even board games. It was perfect for folks looking to get work done, sit and sip and chat, read alone. It was for all of the above and more. I got the dirty chai latte and didn't love it too much. If I find myself back I will just get my usual oat milk latte because reviews say they do coffee very well. We also got a pastry to share and that was so tasty. All in all a great find!

Arrived early for the Thomas Edison Historic Site and walked around the area. This unique corner…read moreCoffee Shop had the bright idea of going with the local theme of homage to Edison. Great idea, it caught our eye and we decided to check it out. Nice & cozy feel, with an Edison theme, small, but plenty of seating. The owner was friendly, and made a good cup of coffee. He pointed out that they had an early Edison invention by the door which was cool. We sat on the comfy sofa people watching while sipping our coffee up until the Park opened. Definitely a bright idea to visit this Shop on your way to explore.

REVIEW UPDATE: Last…read moreweekend my husband and I stopped in Light Bulb Coffee Shop. He got an Americano. I asked the barista what she would recommend - she said an Iced Chai with flavored syrup. I went with her recc and went with pistachio. It was good. We sat inside and the place set is in full Halloween mode. Plus there are neat tabletop games and a legit piece of history inside. Another day, I stopped in to pick up drinks to go for a day trip car ride. An Americano for him (again) and a Mocha Latte for me with almond milk. I normally don't get lattes but I'm glad I did because it was really well made. Perfect on a fall morning. I would recommend checking Light Bulb Coffee Shop out if you have chance!

This store, even from the outside, is just so welcoming and so inviting. The color scheme is an eye pleaser. Upon entering, the staff welcomed me and they were very friendly throughout the whole visit. Not too busy at this time. I did see some tables outside to sit and a couple inside. There's a bar on the side with some stools as well. I got the mocha latte with non dairy cold foam and wow, I don't know how they got the cold foam to literally taste the same as one with dairy. Strong coffee and very flavorful. They also have free stickers! Definitely will be back to try other flavors!

It was very clean and fresh inside and everyone was friendly. I tried shakshuka for the first time, and I loved it! It wasn't too heavy, and the sauce was super flavorful sauce. I enjoyed seeing all of the mediterranean-inspired options they had on the menu. I also ordered a plain iced latte which was great! The espresso was very smooth. We went around 9 am on a Monday, so it wasn't super busy, but I've seen this place packed! The lunch menu also seemed super interesting so, so I would love to come back to try more!

My most consistent go-to is the Matcha Latte with Rosewater Simple Syrup. Sometimes you can actually taste the rose and it complements the matcha nicely. One thing I will say for the women, if you are into cycle syncing, there are so many options here for us. Fave foods to order are the cauliflower pita & lentil soup. The salad is quite filling and fresh. Actually all of their food is fresh. I like the falafel bowl although it can be a little dry. I typically drizzle olive oil on it. The tahini is good, but it's only enough for the falafels. The falafels are good as well; authentically flavorful. Def try the meze options. I've never ordered something and didn't get it a second or third time. I eat predominantly vegan and this spot gives me options galore like I'm back in NYC. Amazing for dine-in and the best at bagging your takeout/delivery. Stapling the liquids inside a smaller bag to stay in place in the larger bag? The most thoughtful packing I've come across honestly. Would love to see them add a vegan pastry or few. I appreciate that they do digital rewards now as well

Everything was fine but I had a weird encounter I want to share in case others have also encountered this. Upon entry, I told the lady at the receptionist desk that I was dining solo indoors. She told me they were short on staff and had to order and pay with her before seating. First time dining here and didn't know how busy it was since the dining area was on the other side of the wall. Fine... no problem. Upon sitting, I noticed there were only two other tables and most of the tables were empty. There appeared to be two male servers tending to the dining area.. Food and coffee came out in good time and the server who delivered it was friendly. After I sat and paid, I saw three other tables who came and were sat - all receiving normal table service. (I.e waiter taking orders, pay at the end.) I don't want to assume anything but would suggest the restaurant look at their practices and either exercise them across all patrons to avoid causing anyone to feel singled out... Food and coffee were good.
