The staff was friendly and offered great suggestions. Although it was very busy on Saturday afternoon, I was happy to find a few seats available with the background music at the perfect, conversational volume. I only came in to order coffee, but seeing all those delicious pastries and baked goods made me almost change my mind. There were several winter specials available, so I decided to try the dulce de leche latte. I really enjoyed it since it was bold and strong, but had a smooth, sweet finish. There were many tasty-sounding latte choices such as horchata, tiramisu, and the golden palms latte, which is made of turmeric. I look forward to trying one of those the next time that I return.

I ordered three fried empanadas (two chicken and one beef). they were okay - the crust is a bit different than I'm used to, but maybe the empanadas I typically have are baked. Also seemed to be more potato than meat in the beef one. The Americano coffee is awful. It gives mostly hot water with a hint of coffee flavor. I tossed it and didn't complain. Granted it's a cafe and not a coffee shop, but it's coffee! They have a plethora of other drinks that may be worth trying, but i will never order coffee here again. The decor inside is nice Also note, this is mostly a beverage and snack place. Very little food on the menu.

Amazing milk teas and fruit flavors (i love the almond milk tea, and strawberry fruity tea). The atmosphere is cozy which is great in an era of everything turning fluorescent and cold. The workers are all sweethearts. they should add real matcha to the menu tho. i don't even like matcha but i know that'll bring in more customers. The new addition of ramen is a really cool touch. The best boba establishment nearby in my opinion. Dino Boba in cranford is good but way less options and i don't like the vibes in that place.

But every door that closes gives us an opportunity to go somewhere else. Cafe Teasia this arctic Sunday night during the fallow holiday period was surely spartan ,modest in size and devote. There was a fellow with a backwards baseball cap on speaking with another someone far away on a laptop, mimicking the illusion of companionship. Another pair playing at the same human game we all play at was doing it in person as a couple or couple to be or two who were to have but these evening. The beau or fella was brashly loud which soon grew charming as I recalled when I used to try to wow girls with tales of meditation tricks and bragging I'd be dead in 2031 when the next Avatar comes out (or the equivalent in my time). So here I was coming in out of the cold playing the same innocent game for human connection. I wish I could warn him that her politely laughing may not be a good sign! Or maybe assure him it is - ah, but who knows what love is or indeed even what fun is. All i know was the last joint wasn't putting out any such vibe. Ah the severance. So I got two coffees to go because that's what coffees are for. But I also got my first ever "bubblentea". The mango bubble tea had these little pearl-like bubble balls that mash like tiny grapes in your mouth. Delightful candified moment. But here's what I'll always remember. The second i walked in, the cashier warmly greeted me and welcomed me with but three patrons here on a Sunday night - and the heat was out. She wore a coat. I didn't remove mine. Our breathe was nearly white but you know what? Not nearly so cold an experience as the last joint.

It also comes with a fresh salad with balsamic glaze. Their cookies are also enormous, soft, and delicious. I also ordered a chai latte and a matcha latte which were very good but really pricey, basically a dollar per ounce. The café itself is cozy, modern, and lively without being boisterous. It's a great vibe for working or relaxing and there's a pile of games patrons can play during their visit. Service here is also great! I had noticed my salmon toast was missing the avocado I ordered and that was very quickly corrected. The baristas are very friendly and it helps add to the comfort of this place. I already can't wait to go back

It's a couch and two sofa chairs with nesting tables by a large sun filled window. Everything takes a bit of time to come out. There's only two people working, one on coffee, the other on food, and we ordered both. After maybe ten minutes or so, our coffees were ready, and made with care. Our food came out maybe fifteen or twenty minutes after that. The food was good, but I don't know if a panini should take that much time, seeing as no one before us ordered any food so we were the only ones he was preparing for. So overall, good coffee, good food, okay ambiance, and not so good timing.

It's located on the same street as the Fresh Fish Market and across of Main Street Spirits on Main St in, I believe, downtown Rahway. There is only paid metered street parking around the area. Prior to ordering, I was given the option to sample some of their flavors. I ordered a small with two flavors: Banana Dulce de Leche and Espresso. The Banana Dulce de Leche was a pleasant surprise, with a good banana flavor that was unfortunately overpowered by the caramel. I also found the Dulce de Leche to be a bit icy, which didn't blend well. The Espresso was okay, but had only a light, aromatic coffee flavor. I thought it wasn't strong enough in my opinion. Overall, it's a nice spot for dessert after lunch or dinner, and the large seating area is a plus.

I come here only on Sunday mornings and often, when there is usually no line. For two years I have been doing this , I have received ZERO eye contact, no warmth, no engagement from this shift's crew--until today. That's why it mattered when one Asian barista this morning (who wasn't the one to take my order) warmly looked at me, smiled, and said something kind. It came right after her coworker placed my drink down, mumbled my name, and they turned their back on me when I thanked them -- but weren't doing anything else! Same energy when they took my order minutes earlier even when I was the only person in line. Like I owe them a favor for being at their counter! I've watched them and their colleagues treat me this way consistently. Mind you, I either only order a latte, a matcha, or a pastry. The worst part is that this treatment feels selective. I''ve seen this same crew be friendly, laugh, and engage with other customers--but from what I've seen for 2 years is that it seems only a certain type of walk-in gets this reception. It suck's to be flatly received and then notice the person behind me get a smile and a conversation, even if it's obvious that they're not a regular here ... at least not on Sundays. :) Again, thank you to that barista who broke the pattern for me today because I finally felt seen. I added a 3rd star out of gratitude. :) If you've found this crew non-selectively friendly, I'd genuinely like to know what day you come--because my Sunday morning experience has been consistently selective. I choose to be optimistic. And to management, let's talk about this.
