Yum! Unexpectedly good macarons from a stand at Jersey Garden Mall…read more.. I was here late June with my little cousin who with her sweet tooth, of course requested me to get some. All the macarons, lined up by flavors and distinct colors, looked good but you can never tell if its too sweet or too artificial. Fortunately, there were samples and with easy convincing from my cousin, we purchased a half dozen for $15. We got several flavors including Red velvet, strawberry, lemon, rose, chocolate-lavender, and others. I only got to try the red velvet, strawberry, and lemon and the rest went into my little cousins's bag for later. Of these, they were all soft, flavorful and not painfully sweet. My favorite was the red velvet, which had more of a crumbly cake texture but was still amazing. I was told that the actual store will open up in the mall soon and I am excited to try the other flavored macarons next time. Maybe I'll buy my own box so that I won't need to share haha

Please stop by if you're in the area, you can thank me later. *wink, wink* Oh, and Free Wifi is always a plus!

We hired Beans & Leaves to provide a coffee bar for our daughter's engagement brunch, and they were…read moreabsolutely fantastic. The morning of our event there was snow on the ground, and Danielle, one of the owners, personally called early to confirm everything was still on. She shoveled herself out and drove in from New Jersey to make sure the coffee bar was set up and ready. That level of dedication and professionalism truly stood out. The coffee bar itself was a huge hit. They offered espresso drinks, cappuccinos, flavored lattes, oat milk options, and iced selections -- all made fresh to order. The quality was excellent and truly café-level, not just standard event coffee. The iced lattes were especially popular with our guests. The setup was polished and professional, the baristas were friendly and efficient, and it added such a fun, elevated touch to the brunch. If you're planning a wedding event, shower, or special celebration, I highly recommend Beans & Leaves. Exceptional service, delicious coffee, and a team that genuinely cares about your event.

I tried the seasonal gingerbread and the sea salt chocolate chip this time around. The gingerbread had that perfect warm spice, and the sea salt on the chocolate chip really elevates the flavor to a whole new level.

It's the perfect local establishment - friendly staff, great mix of classic and seasonal options, and you can tell everything is made with love :)

Service was generally speaking friendly though the day we went was super busy as there was a running race and it was super packed so the folks working definitely seemed a touch flustered but kudos to them for handling the crowd well. We got the bulgogi sandwich and the tuna sandwich both of which were good though bulgogi would be the one i choose over the other. Nice flavors though and the coffee we got was nice. Cute spot but again we were there on an unusually very busy day so would want to come back on a typical morning to try again. Overall, recommended.
