My wife and I stopped into Il Freno on our way home from a farmers market. Shop is extremely cute…read morewith great decor. The woman working behind the counter was friendly, patient, and helpful. My wife had an incredible peanut butter cookie latte, the kind of flavor that made me question my "black coffee" tastebuds. That said, I loved the smoothness of the La Colombe coffee bean cold brew that I had. Excellent coffee shop!

I came here because of the overwhelming five star reviews and honestly left wondering if everyone…read moreelse visited a different bakery. The desserts are visually beautiful and the service was friendly and efficient, so credit where it's due. Unfortunately, the chocolate croissant was so dry and hard I genuinely thought I might crack a front tooth trying to eat it. Between that and the bizarre playlist choice blasting through the bakery, I couldn't wait to leave. Maybe it was an off day, but at this price point I expected much better quality and overall experience. I'm unlikely to return.

THIS PLACE HAS THE BEST FRENCH PASTRIES!…read more I wish I could make my font bigger and more colorful to reiterate that statement. if you love French pastries, you must stop by this place. Not only is everything here amazing, but the people working there are soooooo friendly and nice. Everything I've tried here is so good - macarons, sandwiches, croissant, French pastries, croissant cubes, bread, quiche. I especially love all of their hazelnut stuff. I could go on and on. They also make fresh crepes, made to order. I totally agree with all the other 5 stars for this place. It's the truth and if you check them out, you'll see why. FYI: -There is street parking, but also they have a parking lot in the back.

I had 5 lattes yesterday, and the best one I had was from Vale…read more This is one of my favorite coffee spots. I love how it feels like you're walking into someone's living room when you open the door and enter their shop. They have comfy seating. It's nicely decorated and they have relaxing music. I loved my latte. It was creamy and fresh. They also had a plethora of drinks and food available. I can't wait to stop back in.

How cute!!! This is a coffee shop that really embodies the meaning of COMMUNITY. It's a space for…read morepeople to connect, relax, and feel at home. As soon as you walk in, you'll be greeted by a warm and inviting atmosphere. Think cozy cabin meets grandma's living room - wood panel walls and floors, velvet sofas, wooden furniture, plants, and hints of vintage decor. The owner added some thoughtful touches like board games, books, and high chairs. They showcase various products from local businesses like jewelry, mugs, bags, and headbands, so you can have yourself a little shopping trip while you're here. The drink menu has all of your classic espresso beverages. If you're into specialty drinks or sweet lattes, this is the place. They have an extensive list of flavored syrups. They also have smoothies, refreshers, tea, and hot chocolate. They have a good selection of freshly baked pastries made by local bakers. They even have breakfast/brunch options like pancakes, waffles, avocado toast, sandwiches, and oatmeal. I ordered: *Iced Latte 24 oz ~$7 - A strong, bold, and well-made latte with the right balance of espresso and milk! *Turkey & Cheese Croissant $7.50 - This was just okay. It didn't hit the spot for a breakfast sandwich. It tasted like those pre-packaged ones from corporate coffee shops :(The croissant could've been more buttery and soft. If you're in the River Vale, Westwood, or Hillsdale area, give this cafe a try! There's plenty of parking and indoor/outdoor seating. They even host free events - open mic, crafts, book club meetings, and more. It's a welcoming place for you to enjoy a coffee, work, study, or meet friends.

I really wanted to enjoy this coffee shop and made time to stop by before work, but unfortunately…read morethe experience was a little disappointing. The drink ended up being much sweeter than I expected, and the interaction with the worker felt a bit off and not the warmest. I was also a little concerned seeing the hot espresso brewed directly into a plastic cup. Overall, it just wasn't quite the experience I was hoping for to start my morning.

3.5: To sum, i like the idea of this place more than the actual place…read more A nice addition to the neighborhood that has a selection of teas, codes and smoothies, as well as baked goods. The quality of items were okay but didn't feel far away from Starbucks. The cheese Danish was decadent, rich and oily. The matcha latte was ok and cappucino received good reviews. I wish the food was homemade but they looked like things purchased in bulk. They did have some prepackaged snacks that were somewhat interesting like protein bars and granola bars (not just Kind bars) if you like that sort of thing. There aren't a whole lot of places to sit (three small cushioned chairs and a high top table). They have a rewards program if you sign up with your phone number. There's a shared parking lot with a pizza place, sushi place, and near 7 eleven, Anchor seafood, and cvs.

Today is Mother's Day and my wife wanted Avocado Toast and some strawberry shortcake…read more I'd been to the cute and quaint Cafe Trois before, knowing they have good food. I got Avo' toast, a French Toast breakfast, a piece of strawberry shortcake. The line was bananas. I mean it was out the door by 10:00 am. That said, my food came relatively quickly, all things considered, and most importantly... it was correct and all there. The tall Latte I got was great, too. Give Cafe Trois a try next time you're in the area!

Excellent experience dining in Cafe Trois Northvale. Although a small cafe, the quick service and…read morequaint atmosphere make for a great space for a cup of coffee and/or brunch. I loved my cappuccino and farmer's salad. My sister ordered an omelette with home fries. I took home a chocolate croissant and it was delicious! Can't wait to come back here.

new coffee spot and they roast their own beans!…read more Tried their Vanilla sage but it lacked the flavor i was looking for so i'll try another flavor next time BUUUTT the coffee was really fresh and had a lovely taste. Not burned not under roasted, just perfect! Brought a bag of beans too and the scent was wonderful! Gonna have to explore more to get a good sense of the place but definitely looks really promising and i can see myself coming back! maybe even soon lol

The space is beautiful, and the staff was incredibly kind and helpful while I figured out what to order as a first-time customer. I went with an iced brown sugar latte with cloud cold foam, and it was perfect. Not overly sweet either! Only suggestion - Not so much ice and more coffee Already looking forward to my next visit! The matcha is definitely next on my list!

I finally tried The Perk House and I'm actually obsessed. The drinks alone??? insane…read more I got the black & white cookie latte and the white chocolate strawberry matcha latte and both were sooo good but in completely different ways. The black & white cookie latte was rich and sweet without being too much, and the white chocolate strawberry matcha was so smooth and perfectly balanced -- not too earthy, not too sweet, just really good. But the maple butter sausage sandwich??? I was not expecting it to be THAT good. The sweet and savory combo was perfect and it tasted so fresh. The whole place has such a cute vibe too -- clean, aesthetic, and somewhere you actually wanna sit and stay for a bit. Service was great and everything came out quick. 10/10 I'll definitely be back.

When she left I apologized on her behalf as did other customers who witnessed the interaction. Yes the store was busy... good for them! They are a local small business who has created an incredible name for themselves and treats every customer like family. Linda's drink was ready and her name was called several times but she was so wrapped up in her own anger she didnt hear and as a result took it out on the employees. Keep doing your thing Perkhouse... there are plenty of people who appreciate your hard work and delicious handcrafted coffee... the others can go to dunkin if they want fast and impersonal!
