Chicken Caesar Wrap w Avocado & 16 Oz Strawberry Tart
Laicha G.

I always enjoy the food here whether it's a bowl or a wrap I find myself typically deciding between one or the other. It's filling and a great healthy option. The inside is beautiful and spacious as well. It's on the pricer side for drinks but they make up for it.

Scrambled Tofu Burrito Garden Grain Bowl
Vipul R.

The food was phenomenal especially for vegetarians, however, food was on the pricier end. The coffee was outstanding and creamy. This place should consider a reservation system as the wait was long. The layout of the place was a bit odd. It was difficult to order as the menu is a bit confusing.

Chicken, beans, brussel sprouts
Marge M.

This place is always mobbed. The salad is pretty good. It is not organic and the salmon is not wild caught which is disappointing, but healthier than your typical fast food. I opted for the chicken which was dry. The vibe is almost like a subway subs type of service where you go up to the counter and puck the things that you want on your salad. It is cafeteria style of service, and seating. It is a louder vibe due to it being crowded. The staff is always very nice. I opted to get my salad to go.

Egg shell pieces

The scrambled eggs i ordered came with shells - seriously? unbelievable! I ordered chia pudding and it never came. The servers didn't even know where it was. Waited while i ate the eggs carefully but it never came. Walked to counter and the girl who took my order, points to premade containers of chia pudding. She couldn't even tell me to pick it up at the other counter or get it for me? Service sucks! Workers just standing around doing nothing. Food was ok. Nothing special and way over priced! First time trying this place and it will definitely be my last!!!!!

Iced Pumpkin latte and pistachio latte 10/10
Katherine S.

Love the coffees and teas here. They have a great variety of syrup and cold foams. They do get packed inside so be prepared to wait for a table if it's lunch time

Grilled Steak Sandwich
Keita N.

This place a really organized system of ordering and seating. The servers are kind and very attentive with their organization. The ambiance is clean, modern, and well maintained. The food however, I believe can use some work. The sandwich isn't terrible, the bread was however very covered in oil. The steak was well cooked, but could use more seasoning. The sandwich itself lacked flavor. The fries were average, no complaints there. I also ordered a chai latte (lost the photo). It was well presented but the flavor itself was odd. I've had plenty chai lattes, but this one lacked flavor. I wouldn't return here, nor do I recommend if you're used to flavorful foods.

Panini
Angela L.

Upon entrance seating was a bit weird . I had to ask a server if it was seating on your own which I was told yes to. It would've been nice if there was a sign. Service was decent you order your food at the counter and they bring it over if you order to eat in. Food was great the panini was filling and served as two meals for two different times. Chai was decent . I would go back.

Marcela L.

We were able to find decent street parking. You seat yourself in this spot but maybe there should be a sign that says that? Fortunately we didn't wait long despite it being crowded and got a table pretty quick. Server came and cleaned it off quickly. Ordered at the counter and they brought the food and drinks to the table. We got the chicken and chorizo panini and I got their matcha with raspberry cold foam. My sister got their iced chai which looked good too. The sandwich was absolutely delicious and that alone would make me come back here again. The matcha was also tasty. Love the fresh look of the place and definitely great spot for lunch. Will be returning in the future to try other menu items.

This place can be very confusing the first few visits . There is a flow issue .I can't imagine what's like on a weekends . you kinda have to know what you want since you have to make a line for the food bar area and registers . The food is bought to your table . I sad outside , and almost fell off the concrete slab under my chair that was precariously at edge of the slab . The food was okay . The music is too loud inside you can't carry a conversation which is why i ate outside . The "ambiance " is school cafeteria meets fast food joint . The servers were pleasant . i recommend looking at their menu BEFORE you get there to abate being overwhelmed .

Cubano
Austin L.

Mercado serves up excellent coffee, with high-quality beans and a well-executed roast that truly shines in their drinks and lattes. The flavors are rich and smooth, making it a great spot for coffee lovers. The food is just as impressive. I had the Cubano, which was perfectly executed with great balance and texture. While it's a café, it may not be the best place to study since the WiFi is turned off during peak hours. Parking is street-only, so plan accordingly. That said, I'll definitely be back to try more of the menu!

Mercado Omelet
Viviana Z.

The last time I tried to have breakfast at this place it was packed! Luckily this time around there were only a few patrons. The person who took my order was very friendly. I ordered a chai latte and the Mercado omelet. The chai latte was ok. It was milky more than anything else. The roasted potatoes and omelet were very good. I do wish the toast was warm. It arrived at the table cold. While I was still eating my breakfast one of the employees asked if I was done with one of the plates. I wasn't. She came back a few minutes later and asked the same question. This time around I said sure but only because I felt rushed. I should mention that I was there for less than 30 minutes. By the time I "finished" my breakfast the place was packed and getting louder by the minute.

This one pound mozzarella stick definitely fulfilled that criteria. It was so gigantic it was almost like getting a workout in just to lift it. The outside was heavily breaded with bread crumbs and the top was sprinkled with parmesan cheese and chopped scallions. Even the dipping cup was supersized to accommodate the diameter of the stick! Typically, I would have posted until after my I finished my oversized food compilation project. However, it's being posted early because The Brookdale is permanently closing its doors. I am truly sad to hear they will no longer be in business, but their three sister restaurants at 1109 Broad Street will still remain open. #thebrookdale #thebigcheese #bloomfieldnj

There is outdoor and indoor dining but since it was blazing hot out I opted to stay inside in the cool AC. Came for brunch on a Sunday so had to try their sangria. It was really refreshing and perfect for a warm day. For entrees, we ordered the short rib hash, chicken and waffles, and the steak and eggs. I had a little of each, but my favorite was the short rib hash. Great flavor and the sauce was fantastic. The steak had a perfect cook on it, and the fried chicken was crispy and flavorful as well.

We didn't have a reservation, but they were still able to seat us in the dining room as long as we could wrap up before 1:30, which we appreciated. I wasn't super hungry so we shared the crispy cauliflower and lamb ribs from the appetizer menu. The crispy cauliflower was excellent -- hot, actually crispy, and not drowning in sauce which I really appreciated. The lamb ribs came over labneh (a yogurt base) and the first plate arrived with the lamb cold. I asked our waitress if that was intentional and she said only the labneh should be cold. They immediately replaced it with a fresh order and handled it really well, which I appreciated. Great service recovery and overall a really enjoyable brunch spot with a lively atmosphere.

I walked in to a vibrant, clean, and cozy establishment with an amazing music playlist, by the way. I really enjoyed the tunes while I waited for my order, which didn't take too long. One thing I appreciated immediately after placing my order is there's no 3% extra fee for using your card. Even the cashier agreed with me that it's gotten out of hand nearly everywhere.

And the bbq wingettes were fried over hard and then they just douced the barbecue sauce on top of the wings. It wasn't good :( We did a pick up order and they prepared it fairly quickly and the staff was nice. They have a location in Linden, maybe that spot is better! But overall, I would probably recommend that you go elsewhere for good southern cuisine.

Still, no sausage in the pasta. They apologized and made the sausage and added it to the pasta. I wish that was the only issue. The menu states that it's a cajun Alfredo sauce and hate to say but this was just bland. Not flavorful at all. 2 waiters recommended it but I'm not sure why. I'd give it a 2.5 out of 5.
