The Automat is a great place for breakfast! There is a varied menu, but I suggest the pancakes and…read morethink they're the most worth the cost. The avocado toast, for example, isn't as filling or interesting. The autumn cloud cakes in particular are very fluffy with high-quality maple syrup and delicious cinnamon apple slices. The drinks are also quite good, and I recommend checking out the limited/seasonal menu. There usually is a bit of a wait here, especially on weekends, but there's always parking available. I'd show up early or prepare to wait around 15-20 minutes. The service is pretty efficient, but this is a popular spot, and the tables fill up pretty quickly.

Got the Bombay Masala Omelete which was really well seasoned but felt a tad bit undercooked. Also got the Hot Masala Fries and those were really well made. Wasn't expecting to receive as many fries as we did considering it was a "small plate" menu item, but no complaints. Ordered the lava cake for our sweet tooth cravings, and this one was a bit of a miss for us. This palce is also BYOB, which was nice. My favv and most important part is that this place is dog friendly, so it was nice being able to bring our puppy to brunch with us.

We…read moretook advantage of the happy hour brunch (8am-10am) on a Thursday, but went off the happy hour menu just to try the birria omelet. It was so worth it! The birria omelet was well seasoned. Meat was soft and delicious. The churro waffle was so fluffy and not too sweet. Perfect balance. Farmer's platter was good. My only note is they didn't add any butter to my toast, something I usually expect when I order breakfast plates. But since they charged me extra for ordering some garlic mayonnaise, I assumed they'd charge me if I asked for butter. Staff was attentive and kind, upsold us to the max. Which was a good and bad thing. The coffee we ordered, our server upsold us on flavored syrups and cold foam but did not disclose it'd be extra. Didn't complain since the coffee was delicious, but just keep that in mind if you try this place!

When we went, it was the last day of winter drink specials so not much was left to choose from though they do have bottomless hot coffee for a decent price and even offered to put fresh coffee in a to go cup as we were leaving! The food hit the spot. There are a lot of vegetarian options as well which is exciting. It is definitely on the pricier side for the portions though service was excellent.

I went here on Saturday morning around 10 AM so the parking lot was completely it gets super packed and busy here after 12 PM when the other businesses open so be aware of that! This café has a golf shop and simulators for all the golfers out there, but that wasn't my thing. I came for coffee and Matcha. Coffee bar is pretty an aesthetic. Barista was nice. They served two kinds of Matcha from Japan. I went for the Matcha from the Kagoshima region with almond milk. It was pretty good. I could taste the Earthiness and it was smooth with only slight bitterness. Not the best Matcha in New Jersey. (that goes to Ooika as they fresh mill their Matcha every day and grow it in Japan) but I wouldn't mind having another one if I were in the shopping plaza.

Good vibes, good energy, very friendly & accommodating staff. They offer standard dishes for a cafe, both breakfast & lunch menu, treat & snacks for all, & water bowls for dogs. They give them complimentary treats & a toy that they can keep. A very friendly & comfortable environment. They have a policy about no aggressive dogs, which is good, but they also don't automatically react just because your dog barks while getting used to the environment. We had the breakfast bowl, a bacon, egg, & cheese (not pictured), & lemonade. Our puppy had Ziba's Beef Bowl. My recommendation would be get the Breakfast Bowl with no or less onions. They were a little overpowering. Grades: Breakfast Bowl: A Bacon, Egg, & Cheese: A Lemonade: A+ Espresso: A Ziba's Beef Bowl: B *Based upon how much of it he ate & seemed to enjoy it*

If someone is complaining that they can't "work" or they'll break their faux nails, and goes online to try to "cancel" a business like they all wanna do on TikTok and google reviews, then you know you're dealing with immature GenZ and their parents~ Never believe what you read online, AND if you want evidence, go to the restaurant and see for yourself that it's run like any other establishment~ with integrity and local connection. Food is great for a breakfast and brunch place, especially if you want a more classy feel or take a date here. It's good for weekend or holiday celebrations~ but it can get packed and you might have to wait for a table. Also they make all their bread in house so it's fresh and really delicious. If you're a fan of sourdough, plenty of their dishes also come with sourdough bread instead of your typical factory white bread. I'd say this is more of a fancier diner feel with a light Asian touch to a lot of the pastries. Not too sweet but aesthetically pleasing to the eye. Healthy and the right portion so you can keep that summer diet of yours. The drinks are great and if you love bubble tea, definitely

Nuray's is an incredibly cozy cafe tucked into a strip mall. It's a bit hidden if you've never been, but just keep walking through the strip until you get to the end and there it is. I felt like I was walking into an adorable living room/kitchen, it's just a very welcoming space. I ordered the special of the day, the portobello mushroom panini ($15) and an oat milk latte. The panini was delicious! Cheesy with a great sauce and the mushrooms were soft and flavorful. I thought I'd only have room for half but ended up devouring the entire thing. It also came with a small and simple salad which was a nice bite to have on the side. I didn't love my latte too much as it wasn't very strong and would maybe stick with tea on my next visit. This was a great place to meet and chat before meetings. We took out our laptops to get a little work done (they do not have wifi so I don't recommend you plan to do that without a hotspot). For two sandwiches, two lattes and one hot cup of tea it came out to $60 after tax and tip. That is on the more expensive side, but I still am happy to have found a lovely lunch spot in the area.

I ordered a bacon, egg, and cheese sandwich along with a Sunburst smoothie. When I asked about the preparation of the eggs, I was told the egg is a patty and cheese is folded into it. Overall, the sandwich and smoothie were just okay. I see a lot about the prices, so I'll say that the sandwich was $8.95 and the smoothie was $7.95. I am on the fence about this place. I didn't have anything that was THAT good, but it wasn't bad either. I can't speak on the coffee because I rarely, if ever, drink it.
