Tried to get breakfast here and noticed that nobody sitting had any food in front of them. There also didn't appear to be any food being prepared. When we tried to order, we were curtly told that it would be at least 25-30 minutes. We said thanks and started to leave and the guy said 'good luck' in what we took as sarcasm. We found a better place around the corner. read more

Casual spot with an outside bar that's perfect for enjoying your meal in the sunshine (and some inside seating too). Quick, friendly service. The egg sandwiches were so good. We got the Meta Mac & the Cait and loved every bite. read more

I decided to try this place given the good reviews on Yelp. Plus, my other go-to place has a long wait. I asked the guy at the counter it's my first time and if there is anything he recommends? He responds by saying: everything on the menu - otherwise he wouldn't put them there. It wasn't the most friendly tonality but I understand sometimes people are proud of their own food. As I'm trying to be healthier, I asked if it's possible to replace the brioche bread with something else. He said, in what I perceive as somewhat aggressive tone: why do you want to replace something if you haven't tried it before? I was rendered speechless. I thought I asked some pretty standard questions and it wasn't like there was a huge line behind me and I was taking up too much time. I would have walked out if I wasn't in a huge hurry and starving too. In the end I ordered breakfast sandwich ($11) and a latte. The food isn't bad and a little salty from my taste. I don't know this experience was a result of what I look and how I speak, or this is just how the service is like over there. Either way, I won't go back. read more

Here we go, my son Brandon heard about Metta Cafe through work and it's only 20 min drive for us. So off we go. We arrived in beautiful Lambertville paid the meter and found the establish down a small side street. Very cute inside and was greeted by a very nice counter person who helped us with the menu. The inside only has three tables so I'm assuming this is mostly a take out. My $3 coffee is the size of Wawa small, but the coffee was smooth. I ordered the maple sausage sandwich. The eggs were over easy so the yoked oozed out, the sausage and bacon were fresh and the bun was toasted perfectly. The taste was excellent with just the right amount of maple syrup. Ok now listen this was an $11 sandwich and it's not that big. For the size it's not worth $11 but the taste is. Remember your in Lambertville so you pay Lambertville prices. Would I recommend this place, absolutely, would I make it an everyday stop? Only if my paycheck allowed me. Cute place, good food. Good job to Matte Cafe. read more

3 words OF-FI-CIAL !!! The California breakfast sandwich on the multi was out of this world! Officially my breakfast spot, in the area. read more

Probably my favorite breakfast joint in Lambertville. Fresh, savory meals, really terrific staff/owners, and a cozy locals spot. Recommend you call before you go to make sure they're open. You can place your order in advance. I'm a huge fan of the cado smash, the turkey-brie-fig-arugula sandwiche, and the.... oh, who am I kidding? All of the grilled cheese sandwiches. Hubby loves the prosciutto egg and the chorizo egg sandwiches. You really can't go wrong. Very limited seating, but we're all friends in town anyway so it's all good. Happy to accommodate kids. Try their specialty lemonade. Good coffee too. read more

Simple, tucked on a side street. Excellent breakfast sandwich and Americano coffee! Definitely worth the walk across the bridge from New Hope. Even in the rain! read more

Excellent sandwiches! Turkey and prosciutto was sliced on location and served on delicious toasted ciabatta. Laid-back charming atmosphere. Super friendly staff. read more

Wow. Not too many choices & total satisfaction with those choices. The Philly muffin is as magical as the eggs & fixings.

Yum! We ordered ahead through their online portal which was easy to use, glad we did because we would have missed on some delicious items that are known to sell out on weekends. I personally got the figgy grilled cheese with prosciutto and a lavender latte. The portions are a very generous size, you can definitely share. Can't wait to go back and try more :) P.S - limited but cute seating options outside. read more

Meta Cafe - Figgy Sandwich and Lavender Latte. - Sandwiches Near Me - Lambertville, New Jersey

Music with profanity played while we were there. Not kid friendly. Sandwich was ok. Comes with no sides so a bit pricey.

Probably my favorite restaurant right now. Been a couple dozen times. Never had a bad meal. Everyone is super friendly. Great outdoor seating options. Fantastic place to stop after some time on the towpath. read more

I was craving a grilled cheese and after seeing pictures of ooey gooey cheese sandwiches on Meta Cafes Instagram, I knew exactly where I was headed. The shop is located where Di Napoli's used to be before they moved to New Hope in the Klines Court alley way. There's convenient metered parking right out front. It's small but super clean and bright inside with a few tables. The staff and owner were very friendly and made my soup and sandwich quickly. It tasted even better than it looked. The tomato soup was super creamy and tasty and the sandwich was just the right combo of bread and cheese. Perfect for dipping into the soup too. It totally hit the spot and was very filling. I can't wait to return for this again! read more

I have never written a review, but this new place deserves it. My new favorite breakfast and lunch place in Lambertville or New Hope!! Chorizo and egg sandwich was so good at Breakfast went back for lunch. They do upscale and creative takes on classics, but made best Pork roll, egg and cheese I have had in years. The French onion soup grilled cheese is my son's favorite and the toasts are incredible. Great food, great coffee, and great atmosphere. A must visit anytime you are in town. read more

I stopped in today to pick up two slices of prosciutto and a soup. When I asked for the prosciutto, I was asked if I wanted it on a sandwich. I reluctantly said it was for my sisters dog and I just wanted the slices to go. I was informed that their prosciutto was expensive for a dog and told I should go to the bbq place next door and ask for scraps. I felt forced to explain that the dog in question was about to be put down and I wanted the prosciutto(a paying customer should not have to explain why they want to patron your establishment). I was eventually given what I asked for. I felt the soup I had was mediocre but at the end of the day, my sisters dog got its favorite treat and managed to eat it. read more

Perfect stop for a yummy level up sandwich. Friendly manager and lovely outdoor seating. My hubby also gave their cortado two thumbs up! read more

Meta is a staple, if you haven't tried them yet you are missing out. The staff is always friendly and food is out of sight good. It's one of my favorite places to stop for a quick bite or a latte. read more

Decent egg sandwich, made to order. This place is pretty small, been here a number of times and always waited at least 20-30min for a basic egg sandwich, & not because it's busy. It looks like they make the sandwiches one at a time and it takes an absurd amount of time for what it is. Order ahead!! Coffee is pretty good here but if you order two coffees and two egg sandwiches you're already spending $ 30+ which is wild. They also allow dogs inside the very tiny space which I'm not a fan of. read more

10/10 for food and hospitality. Tucked off the main road- this Cafe is the only place to go for breakfast in the area. Well the only place to actually enjoy breakfast. Hats off to team, really crushing it. The gentleman behind the counter has such a great vibe about him really makes you feel at home. read more

Not only is this cafe adorable and such a great spot, but it is also delicious! My husband and I stopped here for lunch and we ordered the "Figgy" grilled cheese sandwich, which was fan-figgy-tastic! Seriously, it was out-of-this-world delicious! We both tried the on-tap-nitro-tea (amazing) and an incredible espresso (literally, the perfect espresso). Their espresso machine is top notch. The owners themselves are super friendly, accommodating, and work hard to provide customers with a wonderful experience and great service. We are glad this cafe has opened up in Lambertville and we hope to frequent this wonderful spot as often as possible. Don't hesitate to stop by - try anything on the menu because they know what they're doing and it won't disappoint! read more

Best sandwiches in town. Run by great people. I'm sure they love me, because I'm always there right when they open and are probably half awake. But it does get crowded, and for very good reason. In a town with a bunch of other good options, this one stands at the top. read more

Very great food. Everything was fresh and delicious. I would definitely return when I'm in lambertville. Staff was also very friendly. Thank you. read more

We ordered The Schreck and it was delicious! True artisans providing an excellent sandwich and experience. Definitely come and enjoy their creations if you are looking for some quality food. read more

High-quality food, a clean interior, and a friendly staff. That is the best way to describe the relatively new Meta Cafe in Lambertville. The food options, though limited, are made fresh from fresh ingredients. The cafe is pretty small, with limited seating. Though almost everything about this cute eatery is fantastic, receipts may bring tears to patrons' eyes. If you want a quality brunch or lunch and do not mind spending quite a few extra dollars, this would be the place to go. read more

The prosciutto sandwich was the perfect balance of flavors! I'm so jealous that I only managed to sneak a bite of my fiance's. (I would have ordered it myself otherwise but I don't like doubling up on the same entree choices ). read more

Damn, the breakfast sandwiches are great (chipotle crema is a highlight). So is the iced coffee (Folk City--big on flavor and lower on bitterness) and the lavender latte (subtle/not excessively sweet). Hit this place before or after fishing, biking, or treasure hunting at the Golden Nugget. Yummmm read more

Great sandwiches and wonderful sales people. They were friendly and helpful. The sandwich was amazing. I am going to try the grilled cheese next. Love the dirty girl marmalade's too. read more

I wish I took a picture of my food, but it was so good I didn't think to! Today I stopped by for lunch and had ordered the figgy. Super simple and super tasty. I live roughly 45 minutes away and I'd say the trip for a casual lunch is worth it. I'll definitely visit again and try something new, however, I think the customer service could have been friendlier. It wasn't very welcoming. I noticed the staff was kinder to others perhaps regulars or friends; being greeted with a smile goes a long way! read more

Was visiting Lambertville this weekend and stumbled upon Meta Cafe, and I'm sure glad we did! We had the Burrata plate and an amazing Ricotta whip with fresh fruit. Everything was so good we went back for breakfast and coffee the next morning. The breakfast sandwiches on brioche and the avocado toast were incredible. In addition to the food being amazing, the cafe itself was beautifully designed and everyone we encountered working there was wonderful. We will definitely be back here again! 10/10 recommend if you're in Lambertville! read more

This place has amazing sandwiches with imported meats I usually buy a prosciutto and turkey sandwich so I can have both and half of each for later. My favorite place to get a sandwich in the area! read more

Literally the best breakfast sandwiches you'll ever have. The staff is always cheerful and welcoming, great service.

I went to this place for the first time on my way home after walking out of the overly crowded Frenchtown Cafe and had a great breakfast sandwich along with excellent service....... Meta Cafe is now my "go to" place for breakfast and lunch. From now on I am now heading a few minutes south to the Meta Cafe instead of heading north to the Sky Cafe or Frenchtown Cafe. Give this place a try and you will love it! read more

Amazing food, great sandwiches and salads and my favorite cheese, burrata! Love everything about the place. Keep up the amazing work!

Fantastic breakfast sandwich, definitely my new favorite place in the area. Get it on the Philly everything muffin. Looking forward to trying the lunch sandwich's and grill cheese as well. read more

Amazing little cafe with even better food!! Had there breakfast sandwiches and they were incredible!! Made with love and every part was delicious!! Make sure to try a signature latte too!!! read more

Finally stopped in to grab some coffee and a sandwich today. I was not disappointed! This, by FAR, is the best cafe that I have ever been to. The coffee was flavorful, but not too strong or too weak. When I say that it was perfect, I mean it. I had a Jersey sandwich. Taylor ham, egg, and American cheese on a Philly muffin. It was full of flavor, and was so much bigger than I expected. You really get a lot of bang for your buck. I can't wait to go back. Thanks for the amazing meal, Amanda! read more

The most amazing artistic sandwiches. I had a mortadella sandwich which was phenomenal! Can't wait to try the grilled cheese with raclette. I took a photo of my sandwich but unfortunately there is a mouthful out of it already! read more

The mortadella and the rattlesnake sandwiches blew my mind. So delicious, quality ingredients, and so peaceful on the belly. A meal that is good for the soul!
