Is it possible to give something 100 stars?!?! LOL. Talk about a hidden gem. I am in the area…read morefor a work meeting and looking for a local cafe to get some work done before my meeting later on. I found this place on Google and it had great reviews so I figured I would try it. It took me a while to find it--since it is literally in the basement of an office building-you would not know it is here, besides a small sign outside. I also had difficulty in figuring out where to park, since most of the parking says reserved, there are some guest spots however--across the way from the cafe. The cafe is located behind in the building in the basement-it is PERFECT! Such a chill vibe-with a small vinyl room where you can buy and peruse records. The staff was SUPER friendly and nice--all the types of coffee drinks and tea's you would want. If I lived closer or have more meetings in the area, this would be my go to spot on the daily. They are open until 6P during the week as well, which is really nice. So if you find this on Yelp or a review on Google--yes it is legit and YES you will not be disappointed. Free wifi too! :) They also seem to have seasonal speciality drinks which are very popular--you cannot go wrong here.

well waddayaknow! four years already whoa!! and this place…read moreis still awesome. the cafe family has also grown - back then i usually just see Marcus and Audrey but now there more new pleasant staff faces too! and thats a good thing. As always, drinks are delicious and I always look forward to their unique seasonal or special drinks. They always come up with new and interesting flavors - flavors that I havent really seen or tried anywhere else such as Marzipan, persimmon, carrot cake, and there's this "Thai Bolt" that im gonna have to try soon. lol the pastries are also good and just recently ive tried this scallion cheese pandesal which was a pleasant light breakfast treat! Hoping for many more visits here. Thumbs up to thumbody!

Uptown Coffee is what coffee shops should be. The coffee is consistently well brewed and delicious, the staff is welcoming and kind, the service makes you feel right at home and the prices are sane. Love trying their flavored coffees, Uptown Funk. Nice to have a little variety. Lots of tasty pastries and other food items to choose from too. Crumb cakes, cookies and muffins always fresh. Comfortable cafe setting with cozy seating but I get my coffee to go. Uptown Coffee is a fantastic local coffee shop. Great cup of coffee and great way to start your day.

(there are tables inside and a ledge by the storefront window). You order at the counter. The baristas were all friendly and cool that day. All their pastries looked good (many were already sold out), but I'm glad I got the Nutella Crumb Cake - perfection. I was going to get a latte, but right before I ordered I saw a hot and cold coffee specials sign. I went with the chocolate and coconut hot coffee. Very good!

Tried the matcha latte and really enjoyed it. The matcha flavor was really present and love the creaminess of it which is just how I like it. Took a sip of my parents lavender latte and OMG I am in love!! One of the tastier drinks I've had in a while. Really love the floral taste of the lavender but it wasn't so overwhelming that it felt like I was drinking soap. It was so good Would definitely be back just for the lavender latte... wait scratch that, I DEFINITELY will be back. And this time I don't want to share lol And I'm also excited to try out their other drinks cause they had a lot of unique and interesting offerings. Cafe teasia is truly a cafe that I can truly get behind!!

Cafe Tesia was a very nice stop for a break. It's located in a small strip mall, adjacent to…read moreKinderkamack Road. The cafe has high stool and table seating and the eatery is clean. The Barista was VERY GOOD. She was the only staff member working and was very proficient. She filled our order in a timely fashion and crafted great beverages. We started with: Iced Brown Sugar Latte. This Latte was deliciously sweet and every ingredient mixed very well to create an ideal drink. The other beverage was the Mocha Latte. Another great Java, where the chocolate drizzle and foam made it a memorable selection. Besides Liquid Gold, I ordered a slice of their Chocolate Marble Cake and it was....AWESOME! Moist, firm, pleasantly sweet, and was a perfect complement to the Brain Juice. Thank you, Cafe Tesia, for making this stop worth the time. Now, I see why you're Yelp business page has a 4.8 rating, and I'll definitely return.

Cafe Baires is a must visit if you're in downtown Hackensack! It's an Argentinian bakery and coffee…read morehouse serving freshly brewed espresso beverages and authentic pastries. They've only been open for a year or so, but have been very successful! I've visited a few times and have never been disappointed. The interior is cozy and chic, with Argentinian-inspired decor like navy blue accents, lush greenery, wooden tones, leather couches, and wall art of Buenos Aires. There are two floors with seating and lounge areas. It truly feels like you're in someone's comfy living room! The cafe is part of an apartment building that used to be a bank, so there are high ceilings and arched windows. The owner, Jeremias, added thoughtful touches to make the cafe a welcoming and inviting space for customers. They have free wifi, outlets, dog treats, and crayons for kids! The menu offers your classic espresso beverages as well as seasonal and specialty drinks. My all-time favorite is the dulce de leche latte. I've had it hot and iced. They both taste amazing, but I prefer it hot. The steamed milk froth is the perfect texture - silky and creamy with micro foam bubbles. They have a machine that prints out cute messages/latte art on the surface :) The drink itself has a good balance between espresso, steamed milk, and dulce de leche sauce. If you need that strong cup of coffee that will keep you energized, you came to the right spot. The espresso is bold, rich, smooth, and well balanced with the caramelized, milky sweetness of the dulce de leche. They have a variety of popular Argentinian pastries like medialunas, vigilantes, bolas, sacramentos, margarita pasteleras, empanadas, and more. Everything is baked with love, freshly made in-house, and delicious! You cannot go wrong with trying any of them. The dough is flaky, buttery, and fluffy. Nothing is overly sweet. If you're a fan of dulce de leche (caramelized milk jam), you're in the right place because many of the pastries are filled with it. And if you've never tried it before... you must!!! Don't forget to grab an empanada, especially the beef! The dough is flaky, tender, and stuffed with a ton of meat. The filling consists of ground beef, onions, bell peppers, hard-boiled eggs, and spices (cumin, paprika, oregano). The beef is juicy, savory, and seasoned with warm spices for a touch of heat. The staff are always welcoming, friendly, and personable. They have a lot of loyal/regular customers (rightfully so) and there's a genuine sense of community here. This is the type of spot that will remember your face, name, and order. It's not easy to find great customer service nowadays. Drinks crafted with care, fresh pastries, warm service, and a cozy environment? Now that's the type of cafe that I will keep coming back to over and over again. Stop by Cafe Baires if you want a taste of Argentina!

Stopped into Iconic Coffee for a quick pick me up and was pleasantly satisfied…read more The cafe is nicely decorated, is full of positive affirmations, has a fair amount of high-top tables, and a few regular tables. The Manager/owner went above and beyond to make us comfortable, was genuinely happy to create our selections, and added to the enjoyment of the visit. The beverage items were: Iced Brown Sugar Shaken Espresso (Espresso swirled with brown sugar, cinnamon, and milk). I really enjoyed this beverage. It was served in a large glass and the presentation was appealing. It showed the flavorful espresso at the bottom 1/4 of the glass and after mixing it all together.....wow! The next choice was the Mocha Latte, with slim milk. The only thing I'll mention about this drink was, that it was the best they've ever had, annnnnnnnd they've had a lot of them. Thank you, Iconic Coffee, for creating a business with a welcoming atmosphere and a relaxing ambience. I'll happily return and will gladly spread the word. :-)

For the purpose of the class they did not have their full menu available but they did offer all participants 2 full size beverages from their menu. I had the Mora Mojito (not infused) and hands down one of the best mocktails I have every had. I also tried the Lemonade Ginger Beer which too was very refreshing. My friend had the Coquito Iced Latte and raved about it being delicious. While we did not order food....appetizers were served. They gave us chicken pinchos...not much to talk about HOWEVER they served a guayaba puff pastry that was deliousous!!!! I would recommend everyone to take a class when they are offering one. While this place is a little out of my way just to stop by for coffee, I recommend you do and I will if in the area.

Everything from the vibe to the space was full of good energy. They asked if it was our first time there and immediately recommended their favorites. I got the coquitto latte (something you don't see anywhere else), it's unlike any latte I've had before. Warm and yummy on a cold day. Now onto the food, everything we got was delicious from the empanadas to the sandwiches. You can taste that everything is made fresh and with love. The bbq chicken skewers were tender and flavorful and the El Clasico Sandwich - wow! It was cheesy, salty, sweet, all in one bite. The guava sauce on it put it over the top. Marimba cafe is definitely worth multiple visits!
