    Cute place. I walked in and I went behind the counter lol. The lady was hilarious. Their bagels had a lovely crunch to it soft in the inside. The chicken noodle helped with a cold. I love it. Thank you!

    Vegetarian Omelette! Everything is homemade and delicious!!

    Best experience ever!! I would give them 10 stars if I could!!! Everything is homemade and delicious! We were lucky enough to meet Jack and Mary Anne during our MLK Jr. Monday Brunch!! They couldn't have been nicer!! I highly recommend this place to everyone! Our food was delicious and the service was fantastic and we had a great time, and I will definitely come back here again in a heartbeat!!

    Amazing food amazing service. James was an amazing server very friendly. The food came out pretty fast and tasted amazing. It has bar tops and tables to sit at. Whole bill with tip was 40$ which was very reasonable.

Our waitress was fantastic and made some great suggestions. We shared two orders of the Biscuit with butter and jam. This was heaven! So buttery and moist. The jam made it next level.

Crispy bacon, juicy tomatoes, ripe avocados, all on a perfectly soft grain bread. And the fries were excellent as well! My friends all enjoyed their meals as well. They also have very fun mocktails. My friends and I tried three different types and they were all delicious. This was a standout meal. Now I can't wait to try it for dinner!

The staff were welcoming and patient with all of our questions. I'm already excited to come back for dinner.

We ended up chatting away even after we dined. Staff was very polite reminding us they needed the spot and was also kind enough to give us a some time even before the reminder.

    This is a great spot to go because they have outdoor seating and I can eat with my dog in peace…read more I ordered the Cobb salad, which my fault but I should have asked for dressing on the side because it was definitely overdressed for my liking. The fries were nicely cooked and salted, but $8 was a lot for the amount given. $4 would have made more sense. And then yes, I'm even going to mention the iced tea. Because there are not very many restaurants I go to that offer a freshly brewed iced tea, which is one of my favorite drinks. It really makes the meal perfect and I appreciate a freshly brewed tea vs a canned one. Staff is nice and brought water for my dog too.

It's very much like an old diner, but more upscale. I ordered the kale and wheatberry salad, which was very good, especially as it had grapefruit on it. I would've liked if it had more pieces of grapefruit, as two was very little, and I also would've liked if they had a stronger vinaigrette to pair it with. My boyfriend, on the other hand, order the pancakes and make them chocolate chip chips, and I have to say those are by far the best pancakes I've ever had. They tasted sort of like a very moist cake, but not too sweet that it is overwhelming. We will truly be coming back and try more things from their menu, especially excited to try their dinner items.

I've had the pin for about 40 years and who knows how long she'd had it before me. First time at this restaurant in a meh kind of mood. Asking for an egg that wasn't on the menu, asking for togarashi spice ... it was almost closing time I was hangry. I felt a lot better after eating their warm delicious soup. I went across the way for a beer at Montclair brewery which never disappoints either and the carnival (yay montclair). I went home just to realize that the dress rebelled and the pin fell off (no shade on the funnel cake). I retraced my steps but pretty much knew it was a lost cause. But the pin meant so much to me so I decided I would call around on the very off off off chance anyone would have found it. The brewery didn't have it, my car, my lawn, the carnival was a mess, what are the odds? I certainly would not have left it at the restaurant because I was just sitting there. But why not call right? Guess what?! Ken- at Chef Chef was so happy when I called "I remember you! I found your pin in the bathroom! It's here! " Welp 12 hours later I'm standing here before they open today -- all smiles they opened the door and handed me, all wrapped up in plastic wrap, my grandmother's pin.
