The cold brew is stand-out, uniquely smooth with a natural hint of sweetness. However, the hot latte was a major letdown, the milk was scalded to the point of burning my tongue, which completely masked the quality of the espresso.

I had some serious crackhead energy after this drink LOL. I was ready to run for president, start a YouTube channel, and take over the world!!! All jokes aside, you gotta love coffee that is not only tasty, but STRONG. Catalano Coffee is a small business that does it right. The owner is super passionate and knowledgeable about the industry. They serve locally roasted organic coffee from around the world. This is the place to experiment with different roasts and origins to find the pour of your dreams. Pricing is a bit higher than other cafes, but I'm willing to pay more for high quality beans. I've tried a couple of different drinks and my favorites are the specialty lattes. I recommend the maple and mocha lattes if you want something that is on the sweeter (but not sickeningly sweet) side. The baristas know how to create the right balance of steamed milk and espresso. The espresso is deep and rich. The additional flavors are not overpowering and add the right amount of natural sweetness to the bitter notes. This is a quiet and cozy spot to sip on a drink while getting work done. There's comfortable furniture, free wifi, and outlets. Very simple decor with a bright, welcoming atmosphere. It's easy to miss because it's located in a small plaza, but don't hesitate to try their coffee if you're around the area!

It's one of those places where you can tell they actually care about what they're putting out. The vibe is relaxed and welcoming, and the staff is genuinely cool and friendly, not forced or transactional. Perfect spot to slow down, enjoy something crafted with love, and feel taken care of. I'll definitely be back. I would have loaded pics but I ate everything that fast.

My friend and I ended up at Mokafe because he had been looking for a place to get a cup of Yemeni…read moretea. He had tried it at a friend's mosque and he says he's been chasing that high ever since. We figured we'd try to get some at Mokafe. It wasn't too difficult to find street parking, but the cafe was surprisingly busy for a late Sunday night. We placed our order for Adeni Shai, Dubai Knafa Brownie, and a Lotus Biscoff croissant. Everything was delicious. I have never had Yemeni tea before so I didn't have a bar to measure it against. I really enjoyed the tea though my friend said it wasn't exactly what he was looking for. I feel like it could've done with more spices but it still tasted very good. The Dubai Knafa Brownie was excellent. The brownie by itself was nice and moist with the perfect texture for a brownie. The Knafa set it over the top with the crunch and pistachio flavor. I'd definitely get this again. The Lotus Biscoff Croissant was good, but I liked the brownie more. It was about an average croissant but the Biscoff spread added some nice flavor to it. I think it could've used more though. It was buttery and flaky; pillars a of what a croissant should be. However, I'd try another pastry before ordering this again. The place is clean, they play great music, and the service is prompt and friendly. Mokafe is a wonderful Coffee House and I'd love to come back.

It used to be the old Libby's hot dog place right by the Passaic River. There are lots of parking spaces and even a new bright lamp outside that illuminates the whole parking lot. The minute we stepped inside it just felt so cozy. The Cafe is Palestinian-owned and the owners/ servers were very nice. The couches inside reminded me of cafes in Turkey. We ordered the following items : - iced golden matcha - hot tea - kunefe The servers told us the kunefe will take about 10 minutes or so since it's fresh. We enjoyed it so much that we purchased another one. They were so nice that they treated us to the cheesy pita bread. There are board games like Jenga, dominoes, etc to play with while you are having your meal. Overall a hidden gem in Paterson.

From Virginia Beach, VA I placed a fish (fried whiting) & grits for my beloved dad who fractured…read morehis hip & rehabbing. Food at Doctor's Sub-Acute Care in Patterson, NJ is not appealing & my dad needs to grain his strength to get out of there. Delivery service has to be within walking distance. The menu through GRUBHUB's app does not allow for you to add jelly, hot sauce, etc. and there are no drinks on the menu. So, I had to call it & see if it can be added to my order. The charge was $1.50 for the hot tea & they don't place charges under $5. GRUBHUB small order fee is BS, total order $13.07 for fish, grits, toast and hot tea but you I understand there's a COST for CONVENIENCE. I reached out to the GRUBHUB driver to again to thank for the service & to remind him/her to make sure everything was in the order. I even had last minute request from my dad. He wanted cheese on the side & it was in the middle of his grits but he was able to remove it. Everything arrived in the order, it was hot, and according to my dad, the meal was great! He was satisfied and that's all that matters. I would call this a success!

I was absolutely letdown by my visit to Qahwah House last night. The service is actually the…read morestrongest point; the staff is very friendly and patient. Since Yemeni coffee and tea options aren't common for everyone, they take the time to explain the menu and answer questions, which I really appreciated. However, the Adeni Chai was the only saving grace of the visit. It was flavorful and well made, but the coffee was a massive disappointment. I tried the Jubani after the staff described it as a delicious light-roasted coffee packed with caffeine, but in reality, it tasted like bland cardamom water with absolutely no coffee flavor or body. It felt like I was just drinking hot spiced water. The atmosphere was also a major issue as there was no seating available whatsoever. The crowd was mostly of Middle Eastern descent and many were incredibly rude; people will bump right into you and not say a word. Even worse was the way some customers spoke to the workers, it was absolutely deplorable. Honestly, who raised you? It was uncomfortable to witness. The dessert selection was even worse. Most of what we ordered felt stale and old. The only thing worth eating was the bubble dessert with cheese because they actually toast it. We tried both the pistachio milk cake and the pistachio dream cake, and neither was impressive. The khattafi in the pistachio dream was the biggest letdown; it was so stale and bland I can't believe they actually put it out to sell when it was clearly weeks if not months old. The basboosa was also a disappointment, as it was a very small square of semolina cake for almost $5. Overall, It is not a good place for coffee or desserts, so if you do go, stick strictly to the Adeni chai.

The place was packed with a lot of people enjoying their evenings with their families and friends, so that was nice to see. After waiting in line for less than 5 minutes the staff took our order.

(cappuccino.) the second time I went I blame myself. This time I noticed both employees did not wash their hands and I ordered the same thing. There's an old gentleman that made my coffee while the other employee wore a black apron and decided to go smoke cigarettes and mingle with the people on the sidewalk. Both times I noticed that the employees don't wash their hands considering they didn't put their hands in the coffee. It's still unsanitary. The sink area was completely disgusting and wet just like if no one cared of hygiene or cleanliness. I guess they are plenty of chairs but when you have these old creepy guys sitting there watching you, it's creepy. I don't recommend this place or I don't recommend the employees that clearly don't care. I will not be going back to this place. The people that sit on the outside are obnoxious, always smoking cigarettes, and it makes the place unattractive. It's as if they're trying to reenact the Sopranos. Your first view of this establishment when getting out of your car are grease bought douche bags that clearly don't have a job sitting around before noon smoking cigarettes on total Avenue. I don't believe this is an adequate environment to sit outside and drink, coffee or inside. Fix the ambience and get rid of the employees that don't do their job properly or don't have a considerate attitude for hygiene. One thing I almost forgot to mention I don't believe that politics should be spewed by employee employees while customers are being served. Including sprinkles of Reese's rhetoric.
