Like... blink twice if you're alive. Mission half accomplished. Barista was polite. Efficient. Straight to business. No fluff. Which is fine... except somehow, despite there being no one in front of me, I was standing there long enough to wonder if this is how time works in dog years. Now let's talk pastries. I was torn between a scone and a muffin. The muffin won purely on looks, it was giving "pick me." And I'm glad I got it... even though it was dry. Like, Sahara dry. Like it needed chapstick. Crumbly too. BUT plot twist: I didn't hate it. I wanted scone texture with muffin taste, and somehow the universe delivered both in one baked good. Accidental win. The place itself? Nothing wild, nothing gimmicky. Standard pastry case, good seating, chill vibes. But the real star here is how clean everything was and honestly, that matters. If I'm eating crumbs that explode on impact, I at least want to know they came from a spotless counter. Overall: good coffee, decent pastry redemption arc, minimal personality but solid execution. Not life changing, but I'd come back, just maybe with a glass of water... for the muffin.

This may be THAT coffee because I def spent $10.58 on a turmeric coffee today. And I do not own a house. I'm also not a millennial so there's that. Anyway this was THE BEST COFFEE IVE HAD SO TAKE MY MONEY AGAIN AND AGAIN. Weirdly enough I was actually on the hunt for a Dunkin but my maps showed none within 20 miles. Which obvs is a lie since there's one on every corner but Whomdst am I to question the almighty Apple Maps in an unfamiliar town? It must have been kismet because as soon as I pulled into Pour City I saw DD across the street lol. But as I told my PhD advisor in year 8, I'm not a quitter so I will see this thing through (spoiler: I did quit). I was committed to the bit. Pour City had me at turmeric latte. A maple turmeric latter with espresso and oat milk to be exact. Of course the one time I don't bring my phone with me the place is super cute. I made it shake by taking pics of the coffee itself in the car. Super smooth, velvety even. Rich in flavor. Sensational. I legitimately live 60 miles away. There is ZERO reason for me to ever go all that way for a cuppa again. But I will. Gladly.

You can grab a tray and choose your sweet or savory baked goods, hot or cold sandwiches including egg sandwiches, and coffees and teas. They also sell whole cakes or by the slice. Their sandwiches like the chicken salad are good but not amazing. I have enjoyed their chocolate chip scones, quiche, and apple turnover. They came out a few times to refresh the baked goods which was nice to see, as other ones often run out of items. Their seating also had outlets which encourages people to sit and stay awhile. It's good to get the app because they offer discounts which can pay off. Their rewards program is earn 75 points (each $1) and get a free pastry or drink so it can take awhile to accumulate if you don't go often (though definitely not a cheap place). And the points expire at some point if you don't use them for awhile. Sunday is a good day to go to avoid crowds since the retail stores were closed. Parking is usually a pain on Saturdays. The Plaza also has a tj maxx, shop rite, cvs, old navy, orange theory, dsw, five below, Michael's, deli, etc.

I typically find…read moreiced lattes can get a bit milky sometimes, so when I see shaken espresso on the menu it is an immediate order for me. On this visit to Longfellow's, I had mine with maple. The REAL maple syrup flavor shined through and gave the perfect amount of sweetness to the shaken espresso drink. The espresso itself was smooth, rich, and not sour at all. It formed a lovely crema on top as well which was texturally delicious. From my experience, a shaken espresso is only as good as its espresso base, so I was super happy about the quality and taste of their shots. Great location not far off the main road, as I was able to stop by here on a whim while passing through Mahwah--and thank goodness I did! What a hidden gem, I can't wait to come back on my next trip up north. An absolute must stop on your road trip for the caffeine fix! My partner was able to charge her laptop and get some quick work done too while we were here, they had great free wifi and plenty of well placed outlets! The staff was super lovely and accommodating too, considering we came in within the last hour before closing. I appreciated it a ton! Wish I lived closer, I'd be coming in on the regular!
