    Upon walking into the store, your expectations are set high by the bright overhead lights, clean floors, and the modern look of the sleek white walls and velvet cushion seats. However, the actual cafe experience falls rather short of the aesthetic. The prices felt expensive relative to the quality of the pastries. My friend and I ordered a pistachio pastry and baklava, but both were overly sweet; the pistachio pastry barely tasted like pistachio. The banana pudding was moderately sweet, but it had such a thick and dense texture that it was difficult to finish even a third of it. That being said, I don't think this place is worth it unless you're only in need of a place with a nice atmosphere.

    I stopped in to grab a matcha latte after visiting Sushi Kai up the road. When I walked in at 9:30pm on a Saturday night, there were no open seats. The inside is very modern with high ceilings and lots of booth seating against the wall. My matcha latte was pretty good but on the pricier side ($8). Desserts looked delicious, especially the Oreo brownie and baklava.

    This place seemed overhyped. We hopped in on a rainy early Sunday afternoon and the place was packed. There are diner-style "booths" almost, where people can sit, but it's very limited. The line moved quickly when ordering and the staff was very young but friendly. They had a bunch of Dubai-chocolate "inspired" baked goods but we didn't try any of them. I actually just had a hot Biscoff latte that tasted absolutely like nothing. Zero Biscoff (cookie) flavor. My hubby had a bagel (Simit with sesame and cheese), but it came in a huge box, not sliced, not heated but with the cheese just on the side in a little container. It was so odd. He went back to ask them if they could toast it and spread the cheese - they brought it back just sliced; not toasted, no cheese on it. Not sure if the staff was just incompetent or just didn't care. Overall, overpriced and not a very good first experience. Maybe I'll give it another try next time but I'd stay away from any baked goods that are not sweet that would require the staff to put in a bit of extra effort in "preparing." 2 stars for the decor and for being dog friendly.

    Located in the heart of Fort Lee, an amazing new cafe just opened last wk. Loved the open-door concept, it feels so welcoming and lets in a ton of natural light. Inside, the space is lovely and the sheer variety of croissants on display is amazing. I was initially a bit skeptical it might be another chain, but the coffee's bold and rich flavor proved me wrong. On top of that, the baristas are clearly skilled, crafting beautiful latte art! And they are incredibly pet-friendly which is a huge bonus

    I almost fell off their green plush velvet cushions when I saw that the Dubai Pistachio Dream dessert was $15.60, yes you heard me loud and clear, it's $15.60. I am kinda of rich but not Fort Lee rich. The Coconut cake was $8.84. I was unfazed by this price because of the $15.60 one. We also got a huge slice of their pistachio baklava to bring home. They gave out generous sample cookie pieces on the counter. I ate my fair share to compensate for the prices I paid for these goodies. Their 3" thick cookies are sinful and delectable. I don't want to know how much butter they used. Not going to lie, the pastries and desserts here are absolutely fantastic. Not too sweet and the flavors came through. I am becoming a huge fan of Middle Eastern sweet treats. My friend and I got a Biscoff and French Toast Latte. Neither flavors came through. If you serve Biscoff latte you should incorporate it into the drink. So imo the coffee is meh. It's all about the desserts. Very limited seating but we were lucky to nab the last two seater in the back.

    Not yet open as of this writing, but it sure looks nice! Located in a new building adjacent to Fort Lee Commons. I count 5 coffee shops, maybe more, within a 1 block radius! Looks to be open soon. Check it out when it is!

    New cafe in the heart of Fort Lee, next to Fort Lee Commons. They have many specialty drinks. I tried a pitashio coffee drink, it was good, but a little pricey. It is priced for the Fort Lee area. They had a variety of pastries and snacks available. Next time I go, I'll try some snacks. It just opened at the end of August, so they are still getting used to the routine. Service was served with a smile. It had a nice, open space feel, as all the windows open to the point, making it feel like a patio. Nice, clean restaurant; I recommend checking it out if you're in the Fort Lee area.

Most…read morecoffee cafes focus on espressos because that's where the money is, so finding a place that does pour-overs is getting harder as they barely exist. Imagine our delight when we found this place on Yelp. This is huge for coffee lovers. Most of their beans are single-origin, and while some may be a little nervous that it's next to a gas station, rest assured, it will be one of the best coffees you will ever enjoy. Bold statement, but a true statement. Seating is very limited. One side has four seats at a long bench table, while the other side offers two seats. There was also a table with a few chairs outside. This place has espresso drinks, coffee, a limited tea selection (tea bags, not loose leaf), banana bread, croissants, and other various baked items. We had a buttery croissant and banana bread -- both were heated up and outstanding!! The coffee beans are roasted in-house, and they also offer coffee on tap. It turns out they have several locations, and they all roast their own beans on-site. You can also purchase beans to grind at home, should you choose. Parking is tight but free. They do have a bathroom if you need to use it, and the baristas who work there are all experts at making coffee. They are incredibly knowledgeable and friendly, and are great to chat with about their beans when the place is at a rare slow time. They are dedicated to their craft. Anytime we are nearby, this will be the only place we will be stopping for a supreme cup of java. My biggest regret: not purchasing a bag to take home. The Roast'd Legender is calling out to me.

Here is what we ordered: - Einspänner: 3.5/5 stars. An upscaled version of an Americano with cream - Deep Black Latte: 3.5/5 stars. Also, a single-shot based drink. Would have preferred a second shot of espresso for a more balanced flavor. The cacao notes are prevalent. - Blooming London: 3.5/5 stars. One shot of espresso with exceptionally thick foam. The vanilla syrup was overwhelming, and the taste of the Earl Grey in the cream was underwhelming. - Chocolate chip cookie: 3/5 stars. Pretty average - Madeleine: 3/5 stars. Decent, but nothing memorable Parking is metered, and they do have unisex restrooms available.

It's smack in the middle of Fort Lee's Main Street, adjacent to the new Fort Lee Commons Park so easily walkable and central to everything. 2. Well, it's kinda glam inside. It's a coffee shop with green velvet booths (can't even remember if I ever visited a coffee shop with actual booths) and pretty gold-embedded wallpaper and trim all around. Kinda like a Dubai chocolate bar that came to life. And that's kind of where it ends for me. I gave this spot two tries. On the first visit. I ordered a mocha and could barely taste any mocha, so I brought it back to the counter to ask if they can pour more. They did. Gave it a good stir. Still couldn't taste it. On the second try, I ordered a potato Turkish bagel and asked for smoked salmon with it (which I saw they used in one of their sandwiches). What I got was a Turkish potato bagel (for which the potato part is invisible) and a whole other smoked salmon sandwich. No wonder my bill came out to $29?! The cashier understood I wanted a smoked salmon sandwich AND a bagel. So, lesson learned: a Turkish bagel is served and eaten differently than a traditional bagel, which would've come with the smoked salmon in the inside like a sandwich. Also ordered a biscotti latte. Biscotti taste is (very) subtle but I think it was there?? Best part about my second visit is the manager, Mo, came over to check on us and offer us refresher drink samples. Very nice guy (thanks again, Mo!) If you're an artisan coffee head who seeks a deep enriched tasteful coffee, I'd go elsewhere. If you're looking for velvet booths, instagrammable background, and pretty-looking pastry display, check it out. It's all looks and no depth.

I noticed that Mavi's has installed wall mounted televisions, which scroll menu items, specials, and upcoming events. This was my first time ordering from their brunch menu and it was outstanding. My Western Omelette (ham, onion, mushroom, pepper, egg, potato, arugula, almond slices) was an excellent choice. Every ingredient was fresh, the eggs were fluffy, and it was accompanied by a side salad and two large slices of multigrain bread. The other items were the artistically presented Avocado Salad (Avocado, tomato, onion crisp, sesame seeds, pumpkin seeds, sunflower seeds, arugula mixed salad, almond slices with balsamic glaze and sesame dressing) and the Toowoomba Shrimp Donkatsu (crispy, golden-fried cutlet smothered in a rich, creamy, and spicy Cajun Toowoomba sauce with shrimp, onions, and mushrooms, served alongside a half-portion of pasta). This dish is succulent, creamy, pleasantly spicy, and thoroughly enjoyed. I'll never dine at Mavi's without ordering a Kimchi Bulgogi Pizza (tomato sauce, mozzarella, onion, mushroom, bulgogi beef, kimchi, scallion, spicy mayo drizzle).

We ordered takeout for dinner: Toowoomba Shrimp Pasta with Tonkatsu and the Spicy Original Tteokbokki (rice cakes) with Fried Kim-ma-ri (fried seaweed rolls). The shrimp pasta had good flavor but the portion was way too tiny. After only three or four bites, it was gone. There were about 4 pieces of shrimp in the entire dish and they could've added more pasta, given that it's not an expensive ingredient. The tonkatsu was also underwhelming. It was a small piece served in a large container that made the portion size look even more skimpy. I was also disappointed in the tteokbokki. It was mostly sauce with no egg and only a few pieces of fish cake, again served in a container that was far too large for the amount of food provided. The kim-ma-ri pieces were fine but also very small. Overall, the meal was underwhelming. For a total cost of nearly $50, the quantities were just way too small. We were left feeling unsatisfied and still hungry.

While the menu is more expansive towards coffees, and drinks, accompanied by the usual suspects of desserts, they have two unusual items that drew my attention. First is the CROFFLE: Short for Croissant-Waffle. I didn't think anything of it but I was forced to buy it because they ran out of regular croissants. I was reluctant but she convinced me to try it! I don't get easily surprised but this homemade pastry is TO DIE FOR! It literally tastes like a croissant because it is made out of croissant dough but cooked like a waffle. This gives the crunchy effect of a waffle on the outside combined with a chewy inside that is made to order in a few minutes! You have a selection of eight sweet and three savory flavors to choose from but I like the plain with butter and may be some preserves, just like a warm flaky croissant. The second is the taiyaki in Japanese or boong-uh-bbang in Korean literally means goldfish bread because it is made in the shape of a large goldfish. It is filled with one of three flavors: Red bean, vanilla custard or Nutella. It takes about 12-minutes to make but they are really good too. The ambience is quaint, warm charming and somewhat nostalgic! Everything is clean and tidy too! The service is good and prompt. It is a little expensive, especially the goldfish bread ($4/piece; minimum of 4/order, so $16), but well worth the flavor explosion! This mini-cafe/desert place is a jewel and a find among the industrial giants that punch out the same -old, same-old and I recommend it highly, especially for the "Croffle" and the "Goldfish Bread!"

The staff member said no, explaining that it had to be done while ordering for the promotion to apply. That excuse felt very lame and honestly came across as laziness, especially since it was a free upgrade and could have easily been accommodated. At another Maiko location (Garden State Plaza), the staff proactively informed me about the promotion and asked if I wanted the upgrade, which is what I would expect. Unfortunately, the Fort Lee location didn't offer the same experience. Even after I asked, it felt like I was given weak excuses rather than a genuine effort to help. On top of that, the hojicha latte here was overly milky. I've had the same drink at other Maiko locations where it tasted much nuttier and more balanced, so this was disappointing. I really love Maiko overall, but based on these experiences, I wouldn't visit the Fort Lee location again.
