    Acai and strawberry smoothie
    Yang-Chieh L.

    We wanted to find something local that we never tried before and found this hidden gem! The food was delicious and very, very filling. The staff was extremely friendly and welcoming. Our server gave us several recommendations and I'm so glad that we took his suggestions. The burgers (X-Chicken & X-Steak) were huge and worth the price. The salgados were so good that we ordered some to go, too :) ( definitely get the chicken plus cheese ones). The recommended acai&strawberry smoothie worked great as a desert drink and finishing touches of a 10/10 meal! We're looking forward to coming back to try their pizzas in the future!

    I've been wanting to come here forever, as Brazilian pizza isn't very common to come by. They told us it would take 45 minutes--25 minutes to heat up the oven and 20 to cook. I guess they don't keep their oven on, or only on Friday nights. Regardless, we waited. I ordered an almond milk latte, with latte art (which they charge extra for). But the girl didn't know how to make a latte so I got a macchiato it seemed as there was so much foam. But at least they didn't charge me for the absent latte art. It definitely took awhile to get the pizza, and honestly I was a little disappointed. They used a lot of cheese and the chicken pizza was good, almost like a pot pie. But the half with the egg and olives had dried and not fresh herbs on top (typical) but the worst was the crust. It tasted completely like frozen crust--the kind that breaks when you fold it instead of bending or staying straight. The place has potential but for me it missed the mark.

    Not our first time here. Service is great food is made to order. Coffee, strong and delicious. Love the fun decor and very inviting.

    This was my first time here and I was disappointed at the tea selection. I know it's mostly coffee and wish they had an equal balance of both. Other than that they have great breakfast. I had 2 eggs, hash browns and 2 strips of bacon and it was delicious. The atmosphere was very nice inviting and relaxing. The people who work there and nice and friendly. If you are looking for a place that serves great breakfast this is the place.

    My latte...omg adorable !!!

    I decided to take my best friend along with me to try out this place since I LOVE finding new coffee places. Upon entering the inside is very clean and the staff is welcoming. We sat at the bar and took a peak at the menu. They served breakfast from the time that we were there since it was early in the day. Food was very good and the pancakes (which I recommend) were SUPER fluffy...almost like a cake. It took them a while to make the pancakes but I know the process that they do to make them so fluffy so I didn't mind at all! Then of course I had to get a latte and they put it in a super cute dog mug which I totally fell in love with. I wanted to take it home! The prices were great too. Can't wait to come back!

    Juice!!!!!! So good

    Found this place on yelp and fully intended on getting a coffee until I walked in and saw they had fresh juice options. I don't remember exactly what was in it but I had the number 8 and it was amazing. They make all juice fresh to order. They also have desserts, breakfast, and coffee from what unnoticed. This is definitely a hidden gem.

    Love this place. Had breakfast here twice, but my favorite thing is the acai and banana smoothie. They also make amazing cappuccinos.

    Just moved to south river....This place was super cute! Cutest coffee mugs. Food was delicious Definitely coming back!

    On a lazy weekend morning in search of caffeine, we found Habibi Motor Cafe - a cute, modern,…read morebright coffee shop with tons of seating for remote work opportunities. The look of the space alone draws me in to visit, but the coffee is so good as well. Their specialty latte flavors all sounded amazing, but we opted for the tiramisu & the white chocolate raspberry. I appreciate a cafe that makes their own syrups/flavors, and the taste at Habibi's reflects that. I loved having real raspberry puree instead of an imitation syrup, and the flavor of the tiramisu latte was spot on - not too sweet, just how we like it. The coffee was bold and smooth, and I cannot wait to return and try the rest of the menu!

Being Middle Eastern myself, I liked the unique concept and knew I had to stop by when we were in the area. We arrived around 5pm and it was extremely loud & busy. The atmosphere and seating gives relaxing environment, but in reality, there were people with laptops (on a Saturday), kids running around, and generally the acoustics inside aren't great. Nonetheless, we placed an order and grabbed a table. I got the Iced Crème Brûlée Latte which was very well executed. It's rich, bold, and had notes of vanilla and burnt caramel. They definitely nailed the crème brûlée flavor. Even the Cortado was nicely presented and soothing. I liked that the flavor profile in the espresso was not overpowered by the milk or extraction process. I was also bummed that they didn't have their cool cups that say "Habibi" on them! Their branding is one of the things that caught my eye about them and it sucks to see them switching to nonbranded cups (assuming for cost reasons). Overall, it was worth a try!

If you aren't a drive through customer or using the app, you are low priority and it definitely feels that way. This location only has wood chairs so seating is adequate but not comfortable. Although I did like the bar stool height option. Music was very loud so I had to use my noise canceling headphones. Coffee was fine. Overall experience, not what I'm used but better than many California locations. Overall, a lesser location versus others. But at least it felt safe inside as I stayed there for about two hours.

    I've been meaning to write a review of this place for a long time. "But why? It's just a Dunkin',…read morebro. They're all the same." No, bro, this location proves they definitely are NOT the same. Simply put, the employees and management are on it at this location. I can place my mobile order 3 minutes away and by the time I go to the pick up counter, it's waiting for me. I've done this multiple times per week for months at the busiest times of the day and I've never had to wait. They straight up hustle here. But serving bad coffee fast doesn't make it good. Well, good news, skeptical reader. Because the coffee at this location crushes the competing Dunkin's within 5 miles of any direction. In a close second place, I put the Spotswood/Main St location, and without question dead last is the Northbound Route 18 location near where Old Bridge Turnoike merges with 18. These guys mix their drinks as opposed to dumping everything in and doing the "lazy swirl", their lattes taste decent (truly as decent as a Dunkin' latte can get), and the service is spot on. So pay attention, other franchise locations. THIS is the model for retaining customers - I will often drive 10 minutes out of my way to hit this location rather than frequent your other disaster locations (I'm looking at you northbound Route 18 Dunkin')

From the outside it looks small, but there's a roomy back area with plenty of seating. The coffee was fantastic and came in a small carafe--perfect for two cups, though they offer larger sizes too. Their frittata selection is impressive, with so many delicious options. I went with the bacon, egg, and cheese topped with their famous cheese sauce. Trust me, you need to try it. We also ordered the Egg Benny--omelette pieces topped with home fries, bacon, sausage, and that same signature cheese sauce. Another winner. Ask for their jelly!!!! Wink wink!!!
