The matcha einspanner caught my eye, but unfortunately the flavors fell short for me. The barista making my drink appeared to be newer (another barista ended up taking over to finish the drink), and the drink itself tasted overly milky with not enough matcha flavor. Maybe it was the whipped cream, but it felt diluted overall. On the other hand, my husband's New Orleans iced coffee was good, and my friends enjoyed their other coffee drinks as well. Next time, I'll skip the matcha and just stick with coffee.

We went on a Sunday afternoon and it was not too busy at all. It was my first time visiting and they had a big space with some tables and seats. They had a menu of different coffees and of course the matcha. They also had a ceremonial matcha option for an additional charge. I had ordered the matcha latte and was able to change the mildly option to oat. We also wanted to try the matcha cookie. Our order was made fresh and picked up at the end of the counter. You can really taste the matcha flavor and not overpowered by the oat milk. Overall a good matcha-- they also had additional flavors options that can be added like strawberry. I will definitely be back to try their coffees!

They also have a chocolate shop next door. When I walked inside of the bakery, I felt transported to a pastry shop in France. I visited on a Sunday afternoon and it was super busy. Service was quick and efficient. I ordered a latte and a scone. The scone was very delicious and fresh. My boyfriend ordered a frozen hot chocolate and a chocolate éclair. I tried a bit of the éclair and we both agreed that it was the star of the show. I normally am not a big éclair person but this one was so chocolatey and rich. It was filled with this creamy, fresh chocolate filling. I strongly dislike the store bought cream filling that they are usually piped with. We sat at one of the little tables on the sidewalk outside since the weather was nice. I will be back if I am in the area and in the mood for a sweet treat!

While the dessert was good, the staff is not aware of allergens in desserts. All three people at…read morethe front, although they were very nice, assured me there were no nuts in "Spring" dessert. They said there could be cross contamination. Cross contamination is no issue for me, as I informed them, but I need to know if there are nuts actually inside as an ingredient. One person said only one item on their dessert menu contained nuts, and when I mentioned that many contained hazelnut they seemed surprised to learn that hazelnut is in fact a tree nut. Lo and behold, the chocolate dacquoise inside the Spring dessert contained nuts and I got an anaphylactic reaction as a result and needed to take my EpiPen. The bite I had was very yummy but almost took me out so I'll still keep two stars for the baking itself. However, staff NEEDS to know what contains very common and deadly allergens.

The staff looked us up and down and immediately told us there was a problem because the kitchen was not working and no food could be prepared. We noticed that coffee and pastries were still being served, so we asked if we could at least order those. The answer was yes, but no one offered to seat us or explain the situation further. We ordered coffee and a spinach feta pastry, which was served cold and tasted stale. Considering we were charged $12 per pastry, the quality was extremely disappointing. The most frustrating part was what happened next. About 10 minutes after we sat outside, another family was seated nearby and was served food from the kitchen without any issue. If the kitchen had become operational again, no one informed us or asked whether we would like to order anything else. Instead, staff repeatedly came to our table with the bill, even bringing the wrong bill the first time, making us feel rushed and unwelcome. The café was nearly empty, yet we received some of the poorest service I've experienced in New York or New Jersey. I still don't understand why we were treated differently, but the combination of poor communication, unfriendly service, and overpriced food made for a very disappointing experience. Unfortunately, I would not return and would not recommend this café to others.

The Ridgewood Station Cafe is strategically located within the heart of the business district and…read moreeven has a corner location. The tables are comfortably separated and the decor is appealing. I was hoping for a memorable visit, but it came up short. My Spanish Latte did not have any remnants of condensed milk and the Dirty Chai was on the luke warm side. Aside from waiting one+ hour for the food to be presented, I did not expect the following: The Western Omelet was not flavorful, the ingredients were sparse, and it had a hardened outter coating. The Ridgewood Pancakes were very small, but the amount of fruit was appreciated, and the cheeseburger's side salad did not come with any dressing. The side of Truffle Fries were throughly enjoyed, each fry was pleasantly oily, had a pleasant crunch, and were well seasoned. I will definitely revisit Ridgewood Station Cafe and I'm certain that they will come through with flying colors.

I was greeted by a great staff member and the service was fast! I also came on a possibly less busier day. I tried the pistachio latte with macadamia milk. Unfortunately, it's the only reason I didn't put 5 stars! The drink was more coffee than non-dairy milk for a latte but I would go again to ask for that request! It possibly also could be the type of non dairy choice too. I also tried the vegan lemon olive oil cake slice and will definitely come back again for it; such a treat! (I wish it was less than $10 a slice!) I recommend for a quick stop and for coffee dates!

When you walk in, you order at the counter and then take a number to a table. We ordered the egg breakfast plate (eggs, toast, potato fritter, 2 pieces of bacon) and the spinach quiche with salad. The food felt like it could have been sitting on the counter for awhile since none of the elements were very hot. But the taste was good, especially the quiche and scrambled eggs. Their pastries were very photogenic but also pricey for the size (hence the trendy nature). There are many small tables and then a few large or medium ones. I would avoid this place on weekends and holidays when more people will venture here. On a weekday late morning, there were plenty of customers sitting with a coffee and working or chatting and enjoying a bite, but you could find a seat. There's someone who comes around to bus tables but you can also leave your plate or cup at the table. Many customers had perfectly coifed hair and were very put together, not the atmosphere that appeals to me. But many people like that. They have a small parking lot in the back but there's also paid street parking.

As soon as I entered, I was captivated by the red brick walls, the tile floor, and tasteful decor. Our Server, Leska, did a fabulous job with every aspect of the meal.

As you'll see in the photos, they were fresh, served in large portions, and were gone in a few minutes. The entree was the Lemon Ricotta Pancakes. It was adorned with plenty of blueberries and the dollops of whipped cream added to the enjoyment of every bite. White Maple really won me over and will be my go-to, when in this area.
