Great food and service! A menu with imagination! Nice location!

I love this place.. Veggie omelette and tiramisu pancakes are incredible. The ambience is great. It's packed on weekends so the service is slow but it's all worth it .. read more

Found this place on Yelp since it is located a mile away from my office. The reviews looked promising, so I decided to head in with my sister. The restaurant is located alongside other restaurants in a very charming area of Mountain Lakes. As we approached the front door, we saw that there are about 4 2-person tables for outdoor seating. As we entered the door, we were immediately greeted by the hostess, who allowed us to pick where we wanted to sit. The interior is beautifully decorated with a variety of seating options (couches around a coffee table, square tables, round tables) and elegant finishes. We ordered breakfast since we love pancakes, but they also offer a full lunch menu including variety of deli options. The breakfast menu had many Spanish influences like omelettes with chorizo and beans. I ordered the kitchen sink omelette and my sister had the Mexican omelette, both with multigrain toast and home fries. We both love pancakes, so we ordered chocolate chip pancakes to share. The omelettes were delicious. My only complaint was that the toast cake out burnt on the edges, but that was easily overlooked. The pancakes were average - seemed to be a tad over cooked so it came out dry. Overall, I love the beautiful, airy atmosphere and the wide variety of foods. I will definitely be returning! read more

Hapgoods - From top to bottom: Mexican omelette, chocolate chip pancakes, and kitchen sink omelette - American Near Me - Mountain Lakes, New Jersey

I am so impressed with the variety of breakfast and lunch entrees at Hapgood's. Don't expect your typical breakfast and lunch selections here! After much debate on whether to order breakfast or lunch, I decided on the Mexican omelette. Out came a fluffy omelette stuffed with chorizo, black beans, cheddar cheese with a side of fresh salsa. The quality of the chorizo was some of the best I've ever had. Absolutely delicious! And the cool part about their toast selection is that they offer both whole wheat AND whole grain. Had the whole grain toast and it was such great quality bread. Side Note: I ordered their cappuccino to start my morning and it was served with biscotti made in-house. Warm, buttery, nutty, deliciousness! So good! My one girlfriend ordered the pulled pork omelette which was good but not for me - pulled pork was slightly sweet but also savory. My other girlfriend ordered the Steak & Eggs and the meat was so incredibly tender. Totally ordering that next time. We dined outside on a beautiful Sunday morning and the setting was perfect. Can't wait to come back to try more! read more

Yum! Loved their caramelized banana and pecan french toast, and the mexican omlet! Perfect memorial Monday brunch! The confetti fries sounded amazing but the cheese was not melted enough... it still tasted good, but would def be better if the cheese was completely melted. would for sure come back! read more

If I can summarize my experience at Hapgood's it's that they have service and excellent clean food. They accommodated our large family for brunch and provided amazing care to us. Our waitress was so attentive and just buzzed around our table helping us with each patron. Our food was brought out fresh and well cooked. They do excellent brunch food from pancakes to eggs to even chicken and waffles which was excellent. I can't praise this place enough. They have a great thing going and I'm confident you'll have as wonderful of an experience dining there as I did! read more

Charming and hidden little gem in Mountain Lakes NJ. It's larger than expected inside and a large menu for breakfast lunch and dinner- ice cream too! Unfortunately Hapgoods gets so busy that the barrage of teenage employees sometimes gets overwhelmed and lack on the desire to hussle- but that's everywhere that has 99% of places staffed with teens right? Everyone is friendly and the food is very good. It get VERY busy esp on weekends so be very very patient- expect to wait and I'm not just talking about getting a table. The wait for food is a bit ridiculous at times so just be patient. Prices are typical, parking is on street and a lot around the bend. The interior is very nice and clean. Breakfast are good-nice sized portions. read more

Great place for breakfast or lunch. Everything was fresh and the atmosphere is like a nyc cafe. Can't wait to come back here again.

Spent 52 dollars on two salads. The shrimp was not fresh and the avocado was not ripe. Used to be an excellent place for salads and food and now it is very disappointing. read more

Not only is this place so cute inside but the food is great! Recommend the chicken and waffles! The service is great too, super friendly and accommodating. You can also bring champagne and have mimosas. Highly recommend! read more

I went to Hapgood's for brunch with my boyfriend and we were not impressed which made it more disappointing after reading all the great reviews. The decor is awesome and the outdoor seating was great but in general we were not overly thrilled with the food or the service. We had the Kitchen Sink, chicken and waffles, and the confetti fries. The kitchen sink was really good but the rest was just average. We probably wouldn't get any of those three things a second time. Our waitress was awful. Rude, not attentive, or helpful at all. We asked her for a food recommendation and she wouldn't give us one. Who does that?! We're gonna try this place again purely because everyone else gave it such high reviews but our first impression was not good. Update: Came here a second time and had the shrimp & grits. Absolutely delicious and much better service the second time. read more

My wife and I decided to order from here due to their great reviews. Perhaps they had a roughy night. We ordered the fish tacos which I was very excited for. When we got our meals? It was tortillas jam packed with cabbage with two small pieces of fish in our tacos. Barely any fish. In short, it was fish flavored cabbage tacos. We also ordered a chicken wrap with fries. I could've made better fries at home and the wrap was so bland I could've gotten something better at a 7/11. Don't know where those good reviews come from BUT AGAIN it might have just been that night. read more

This is one fantastic place to get breakfast. I came here with my family and we were all impressed, the service attentive and our food was served very quickly ! I ordered the kitchen sink platter and it was absolutely fantastic, very well cooked and tasty. Everyone around me love their food and we were very happy that we came here. I would definitely go back ! We appreciate the personal attention of the owner as well. He was walking around to all the tables. Great place ! read more

Horrible! We went here because the reviews were so awesome. What we got was terrible. First we ordered 2 orders of pancakes and received on small syrup for both. However the order of toast came with 4 jams. We had to ration the syrup for the kids on the already dry pancakes. Next was the simples of all sandwiches...bacon egg and cheese. The egg was suppose to be sunny side up but was completely over cooked and dry. The bacon was overcooked and burnt. It looked like it was the broken pieces from the bottom of the pan. You couldn't even take a bite of the sandwich without choking. The bagel was dry and not good. Suffice to say, the sandwich was trashed. read more

This place is amazing! Great atmosphere, the people working here are super friendly, and the food is just awesome! We stopped in for breakfast and nothing disappoints! Our waiter suggested the French Toast, it was the best I've had. The coffee is smooth and brewed perfectly. Eat here often, seriously. read more

Stopped for brunch while on a weekend drive. The restaurant is off the beaten path and definitely worth your time to find as the setting is beautiful. The inside is modern, yet warm and charming. My Tiramisu Pancakes ($12) looked amazing, but were lacking in any those real tiramisu flavors. I occasionally got a hit of chocolate from the drizzle but was missing any coffee flavor, disappointing given how good the plate looked! My husband loved his Fried French Toast w/strawberries ($11) and declared it one of the best versions of FT he has ever had. I tried a bite and was put off by the excessive oily-ness of the "fried" French Toast but he loved it. Worth another visit on a nice weekend just for the ambiance! read more

I realize that this time is tough for restaurants but our latest Hapgoods experience was quite disappointing! We ordered three items - a sandwich, a burger, and an entree and two of the three were prepared wrong. Come on people - you want your customers to keep coming back - please get the orders right. First the burger was extremely under cooked (see pic) - we wanted it cooked medium - it was closer to rare. Also I specifically asked for it to be cheese only with ketchup on the side / they put lettuce, tomato, and onion on it and gave me a side of mayo (no ketchup whatsoever. The grilled chicken sandwich was nice except they didn't make it according to the menu and certainly didn't make it to how we ordered it - they put feta cheese instead of mozzarella and no roasted red peppers. Also, I asked for their house cut French fries and they gave me a side of salad. The entree (chicken Milanese) came out okay. This isn't baseball though where batting .300 will get you accolades - it was three basic items. It's not fun to get all the way home to your hungry family to open up the bag and start wondering if this was actually your order. Get your act together - it's not like your new to the scene! read more

Great neighborhood place!!!! The interior was clean and awesome! Bathrooms are tidy and well-presented. Also the staff provided really great customer service. The food was really solid.

The atmosphere is light and jovial. Jen, our server, was professional and efficient. She was able to give us historical info and pointers about the area. Our breakfast was hot and tasty.

Came here for lunch with some work colleagues who one of is a very dear friend. It's exceptionally well put together and the staff is incredible. So polite and polished, they did a great job. One of our party ordered the chopped Cobb salad with chicken that looked great and the other ordered a chopped cobb salad with blackened salmon, also very well presented. I got the grilled eggplant panini with roasted red peppers and fresh mozzarella and a side salad. The sandwich was stuffed full of ingredients and the bread perfectly pressed and crispy. The eggplant though was rubbery and I couldn't quite bite through it, I kept pulling it out of the sandwich and onto the plate, it was tough to chew. The second half of the sandwich I actually took all the eggplant off. I think it could've been cooked more or the skin taken off, I don't know. All in all it was a nice afternoon lunch but I don't think I'll order this particular item again. I will however come back here again, nice job by the staff at Hapgood's read more

My favorite breakfast location. Excellent omelettes. Eggs Benedict is good. Service is wonderful especially Adrian. Coffee

Something about this quaint, family-style restaurant evokes a comfortable nostalgia about it. The servers add to this by doing their part tremendously, and are delightful to interact with. The stunning decor - a balance between rustic and contemporary, is spacious enough to accommodate and enjoy. Special praise is deserved for the unique platters and Mason jars used to serve the food and drink. I sampled the following: Confetti Fries: Positively bursting with tangy flavor. I'd highly recommend grabbing this as an appetizer or to-go. Tiramisu Pancakes: I found this to be a little too sweet for liking, but delectable and unique nonetheless. Pulled Pork Pancakes: The Jack Daniels maple syrup complemented the sweet and savory aspects of the dish quite well. After a few bites, however, I felt the syrup became too dominant a feature. The portions for these dishes were generous - too generous, in fact, that we weren't able to finish our meals. We opted instead to take a doggy bag back home :) As someone who doesn't frequent brunch places very often, I found dining at Hapgoods to be a truly memorable and special experience. You should go! read more

We heard about this place via an Instagram review #northjerseyinmotion and I have to say it is one of the BEST FINDS!!! We are foodies by nature and will travel far for good eats, to find this gem close to home is a welcomed treat. I'm sure it will soon become one of our favorite 'secret' places. My husband had the shrimp and grits, I heard nothing from him other than "Mmmmmm, this is soooo good". I got the pulled pork omelet with a side salad. I was feeling adventurous and because of our late breakfast start I was looking for a mix of savory and breakfast. I couldn't be more pleased!!!! We will definitely be back with plenty more options to try. The staff were super friendly and very helpful with offering up good options to eat. The atmosphere is comfy chic with a nice mix of options for seating. I can foresee many a reasons to find ourselves back here! Pictures to follow read more

If you're ever in jersey and near the Parsippany area; you need to come to this quaint breakfast/brunch place. I was looking for some grub at 1pm-ish so I pulled up yelp and Hapgood's popped up in nearby suggestions. This restaurant is located on the side of a mountain and I was able to smell fresh mountain air (compared to dirty NYC air). They have plenty of seating, both indoors and outdoors! Since it was a beautiful day we opted to sit outdoors and enjoy the view. Our server came and took our orders (confetti fries, margherita 12" pizza, tiramisu pancakes and a cappuccino). They serve water in cute mason jars with a slice of lemon garnish. Food wise, everything was delicious but portions were HUGE. My cappuccino came with a delicious biscotti that melted in my mouth after being dipped. The confetti fries were exactly what I needed to wake me up, it was exploding with cheese/bacon/peppers/home fries (10/10!). It smelled so good I was debating on ordering one more, but to go. The pizza had cheese, basil, and sun dried tomatoes. The pizza itself was gooey with tons of melty cheese and the crust was puffy. I would give it a 8/10; nothing beats pizza from NYC. Lastly, the tiramisu pancakes smelled appetizing but was a little too much after eating 2 of the 3 pancakes. It was drizzled with mocha sauce and other syrups so my teeth were screaming for relief. It's good for sharing though if you've never had tiramisu pancakes before. Overall, I would definitely come back if I'm in Jersey and try their other menu items. This is a cute place for a casual lunch date or a breakfast get together. read more

My family and I LOVE hapgoods! Food is consistently delicious! We love the decor; cups, presentation of the food, service and of course how yummy everything is! Even the biscotti they serve with a cappuccino is delicious! I love that despite It being so popular, the atmosphere is quiet, cozy and comfortable! It's never rowdy or overcrowded when I go. I've only ever had the breakfast items there and from the dishes I've tried, steak and eggs, waffles, and huevos rancheros I've never had a bad dish! Definitely recommend this place to all my friends! read more

Super cute place in Mountain Lakes! I met a friend here for brunch and loved the atmosphere of the place! It's obvious that it is a local favorite. The place is brightly lit and doubles up as a deli which I found very interesting. The place isn't huge but it had a nice crowd going and was told there's a separate room for bigger parties. The menu isn't extensive and there was nothing on it that jumped right out at me - your typical breakfast/lunch items. I went with the avocado toast that came with poached eggs and my friend ordered the veggie omelette. I enjoyed my meal, but as I mentioned, it's nothing I haven't had before. Your typical avo toast with eggs. Our server was friendly and polite. If you're in the area looking for a spot, id recommend checking it out. read more

I went here for a late breakfast with a friend of mine. I found this place on a whim and it seemed to be decent but it was much more than that. Both of our meals were delicious. I had the shrimp and grits and I have to say it was definitely better than the shrimp and grits I had in Georgia. The portion sizes were perfect, not too small and not too big but just enough to fill you up. My friend had the steak and eggs - her steak tasted great, the home fries were nicely seasoned, and the eggs were fluffy. As for the customer service - our waitress also deserves five stars for being so attentive the entire time. The price was also surprisingly cheap. Whenever I'm in town again, this will definitely be the spot! read more
