Stopped into Iconic Coffee for a quick pick me up and was pleasantly satisfied…read more The cafe is nicely decorated, is full of positive affirmations, has a fair amount of high-top tables, and a few regular tables. The Manager/owner went above and beyond to make us comfortable, was genuinely happy to create our selections, and added to the enjoyment of the visit. The beverage items were: Iced Brown Sugar Shaken Espresso (Espresso swirled with brown sugar, cinnamon, and milk). I really enjoyed this beverage. It was served in a large glass and the presentation was appealing. It showed the flavorful espresso at the bottom 1/4 of the glass and after mixing it all together.....wow! The next choice was the Mocha Latte, with slim milk. The only thing I'll mention about this drink was, that it was the best they've ever had, annnnnnnnd they've had a lot of them. Thank you, Iconic Coffee, for creating a business with a welcoming atmosphere and a relaxing ambience. I'll happily return and will gladly spread the word. :-)

While driving around our neighborhood, we caught sight of this new yogurt spot and ducked in to…read moregive it a try. The space is small but cheerful, and the menu has a lot going for it. The namesake yogurt drinks are front and center, but there are bingsoo versions (based on the Korean shaved ice dessert) and delectable looking desserts on the menu. For those new to yogurt drinks or the Hey Yogurt chain, I can approximate descriptions of the taste by comparing it to kefir or fruity yogurt, but this is truly its own thing - tart, tangy, and luscious. After my first sip (and the four more that I compulsively took after that, because it's pretty addictive), I found myself telling my husband, "It's such a happy tasting drink." There's some level of customization available. For instance, the strawberry yogurt drink we got was at half sweetness and there was an option to add more strawberries for an added surcharge. The half sweetness level was best for us, but the hardest part about coming here for the first time is trying to figure out what your version of a perfect drink might be. There are a few narrow benches around the perimeter of the lobby space, which are probably a better fit for waiting and/or having a beverage than for having a full on dessert. A posted sign recommended bingsoo customers eating their desserts immediately for optimal flavor, but there aren't any tables to comfortably sit and enjoy. That said, the people are incredibly nice. While my husband and I enjoyed our drink, the guy at the counter overheard us chatting about the desserts and offered to show us some of their selections. This is Main Street on Hackensack, so the ease of finding parking will be subject to however many (paid) street parking spots are available (and I usually have to drive around at least a few minutes before finding one).

If you're in the mood for a healthy, sweet, and fruity dessert drink, Hey Yogurt is the perfect…read morespot to visit. The franchise has been expanding like crazy throughout NJ (rightfully so)! They specialize in yogurt drinks with fruit, matcha, and grain flavors. Yogurt offers many nutritional benefits; it's a great source of protein, vitamins, minerals, and probiotics. As a bonus, it's also delicious, making it the ideal guilt-free treat. They also sell cheesecake, croffles, and Boston pies. After hearing so much hype, I had to try them out. I visited the Hackensack location on Main Street on a weeknight. Street parking only! It's a small, modern, and clean shop with a few benches for seating. There aren't any tables or chairs, so it's better for grab-and-go. The employee was a pleasure to speak with. I told him that it was my first time and he explained the menu and some of their most popular drinks. He was friendly, knowledgeable, and answered all of my questions. I ended up ordering the Passion Fruit Yogurt drink ($6.50). The plain yogurt was so refreshing on a hot summer day. It wasn't overly sweet - it was the right mix of tangy, sour, and creamy with a subtle sweetness. It was easy to drink because the consistency wasn't too thick. The passion fruit flavor wasn't as strong as I would have liked it to be, but the drink was delicious regardless. They even used real passion fruit seeds, which I loved. I would come back to try more flavors! Give them a try :') It's a nice switch up from milkshakes and boba.

The mango cheese should actually be mango cheesecake as there's small chunks of cheesecake in it. The fruits were ripe and refreshing paired over the pillowy shaved ice. We did wish that there was more flavor inbetween the layers as it's all just ice underneath. You can add more condensed milk to your shaved ice though. Great for groups and having a refreshing post-meal dessert here. There's lots of seating here too.

I added extras- white pearls and star jelly. Disappointed there was not even a hint of green tea flavor, only water and sugar. Not worth the $9.15 amount paid via Uber Eats.

It's also dog-friendly, which I absolutely love (I come here at least once a week with my dog, and they're always so accommodating and kind). The staff is genuinely friendly, there's a large parking lot (which is a huge plus), and they always have fun seasonal items to look forward to. You can really feel the care and intention behind this place. Highly recommend making this part of your weekly cafe rotation.

Anyway, came here on a weekday afternoon and wasn't busy at all- that's not to say that the food/bakery wasn't good. It was AMAZING. I got the lunch special which was chicken soup with breaded filet, salad and rice for $12.99. WHAT! And that portion was BIG as you can see from the pictures. Our server was attentive and got us whatever we needed almost right away! My breaded filet came out delicious. Perfect amount of crispy where it's not overdone and it wasn't drenched in any sauce that made the filet soggy. The house salad was simple yet flavorful and that chicken noodle soup was SO hearty that I wanted to go in the kitchen and scoop myself more. The place is big and bright and clean. Bakery on one side of the restaurant for quick take out and restaurant to the right. There's street parking but there's also parking in the back where the giant farmer market is, but it can be a busy lot. I came back here again with my husband another day and had another lunch special which was grilled chicken with mushroom sauce and my husband had a 16oz churrasco, all cooked to perfection. We got some bakery goods to go and we can't wait to have them later. Highly recommend this place!!
