My boyfriend had a crepe filled with spinach, cheese, chicken, etc and really raved about how good it was. Cappuccino was wonderful, beautifully presented and served with a tiny Italian cookie. The decor is interesting and the space is inviting. We had Table Topics cards on the table to keep us entertained. Highly recommend you visit too, it's a hidden gem

They almost resembled meat sticks (finger thickness or slimmer) than standard breakfast sausages. You can assemble your own crepes, dessert or savory. Server put in custom order incorrectly and served blueberries when not requested. Thankfully, they took it back and the issue was resolved. Laudable fast service! Small indoor area with nice outside seating too. AI-looking wall mural was a bit off-putting, though.

My experience at First Watch was a complete failure in both service and management…read more We were a party of 7, seated at 12:00 and ordered by 12:15. Most meals came out around 12:30, but one gluten-free order was completely mishandled. One person in our group did not receive their food with the rest of us. We waited over 20 minutes while everyone else ate, and by the time we were finishing, he had only been given a small side of eggs, his main dish (gluten-free French toast) still had not arrived. We asked staff multiple times, politely, and were consistently dismissed. No eye contact, no updates, no urgency. Our server was absent for long periods (10-15 minutes at a time), drinks were empty, and no one took responsibility for fixing the issue. By 1:10 PM, over an hour after being seated, the full order still hadn't come out. At that point, we had no choice but to ask for it to be wrapped to go, since the rest of us had already finished eating. The most concerning part was the manager's response. After calmly explaining the situation, there was no apology, no attempt to correct the experience, and no effort to take accountability. Saying "I'll talk to your server" and leaving it at that is not an acceptable response to a clear service breakdown. This wasn't just a delay, it was a complete lack of coordination, communication, and basic customer service. Mishandling a gluten-free order and then ignoring the table is unacceptable. The food itself was good, but the way this was handled reflects very poorly on the staff and management. I will not be returning, and I would not recommend this location based on this experience.

A very long wait for a Saturday morning. Although we were able to get a table right away, our food…read morecame out about 45 minutes later. It was busy and with outdoor seating, people had a long wait just to sit down. It's a small place so in a weekend be prepared to wait a long time! The food was good. I gave it 3 stars because the lady (I guess she was the manager rudely told us to leave as there are people waiting to sit down. She could have spoken to us differently and we had just finished eating. Especially since she made us wait close to an hour for our food, she could've been nicer. The wait staff was pilot and pleasant. But she wasn't. Unless you're willing to wait and wait and have the manager tell you to leave rudely, I would go somewhere else or go on a weekday. I will not be back. I've been treated better at a fast food joint.

Feels like light on the stomach, being gluten free was also a plus!!! I had the famous Ricotta and Berry toast and my sister had the Grilled shrimp bowl we also ordered Buffalo Parm garlic wings which was to die for!! Their lattes are also amazing and flavorful. Our server, Maggie was very attentive. She sees to it that we get what we need. She makes us feel at home. Wish this place was bigger because a lot of people are willing to wait hours in line! We will definitely be back to try other food menu they have!!

I finally got to the Rail trail cafe & mercantile shop...it was not a disappointment. I ordered…read moretake out and the staff who answered told me there's a wait usually 30 - 45 mins....just for takeout?! At least she let me know. So be aware there is quite a wait if you done in or out. Other than that the menu has enough items to satisfy someone's appetite. The portions are Huge! Not only the generous serving, what was more important is the quality of the food. I rate it an A!. I've been her only once and my sandwich the Old Faithful was so good...crispy chicken cutlet on a long roll with tomato lettuce, may & oil/vinegar! I'm so happy they have a sandwich the way I like it dressed. I have mayo and oil & vinegar on all the sandwiches I order. The tator tots also rocked. Overall the quality of the food was good...fresh and the chef uses locally sourced ingredients. I also ordered an iced latte with marshmallow flavor. I tasted a hint of toasted marshmallow in my drink. So good. I will come back and try other items. They are open for breakfast & lunch only. Staff is friendly and courteous. You'll get treated well here. It's a small cafe, probably good for about 30 people. It's clean and charming. Highly recommended.

Accurate by look - Accurate by feel - Accurate by taste. Nice staff. Great downtown location. Cakes. Panini. Pastries. Gelati. The Baba Al Rum is a fam fav. Tricolore are lovely. Castagnole. Limoncelli Siciliani. The Conetti Gelato. I lay back on the patio set chair. I sniff the air. It smells like my grandmothers cutlets. She's yelling at me in dialect. I pretend to understand her and shout "basta." I fake smoke a non-existent beautifully crafted cigar. Gel in my hair - slicked back to he best of my ability. The ability is low, it looks awful. Sunglasses, but the clouds overrun the sky. My chain hangs low, it's too big I refuse to get it resized. I'm licking a pistachio conetto gelato. I've got L'Arte cookies in both hands. So do my family members. It's somebodies birthday. Somewhere. It's an excuse to get together. Where am I? I'm home. That's life. That's Art. L'Arte is number 1.

All the staff were sweet and attentive. The owner was wonderful. I can tell he definitely put time and sweat into his restaurant. Fresh ingredients. Love the eggs sausage traditional breakfast.

Sweet warm apples with the crumbs on top is such a great combination. Lemon bar and brownie were good. Def a great restaurant at the neighborhood!

Rolling pins have been must-have equipment in kitchens ever since people started baking with flour…read more It is such a simple tool that is a long, thin cylinder used to flatten dough into sheets by rolling it out on a wooden or marble board. It has two handles on the side, making it easier to use. It can be made of wood or plastic. Located across from the train station, we decided on a celebratory meal at this popular spot for brunch/lunch in Westwood. A reservation was made for a party of 7 via Yelp. Upon arrival inside this cozy interior featuring retro decorations filled with rolling pins from ages past with several tables, we were greeted by the staff and checked in at The Rolling Pin Cafe. We were directed next door to their annex building, where it was warm and homey but with more seating. We were once more greeted by the staff and managed to get a table by the window. Their menu contains classic comfort foods for breakfast and lunch with specials rotating weekly. My partner, our friends, and I decided on the Pin Platter, Chicken Salad Sandwich, NJ Sloppy Joe Sandwich, Pesto Turkey Sandwich, Chocolate Chip Pancakes with Strawberries, Avocado Toast Platter, and 1/2 Smoked Turkey Sandwich with Mac & Cheese. The sandwiches accompanied their house-made sweet potato salad. Everything continues to be made on-site, so it's remained fresh and has that genuine homemade taste with wonderful flavors, which is hard to find these days. Portions were generous, and the price was reasonable. The owner, Jeff, is such a nice guy who sent over some complimentary desserts to sample: lemon bars, cheesecakes, brownies, and apple cobbler with vanilla & chocolate ice cream. The server Johanna was friendly and accommodating. This place never disappoints...
