Riverside Shoppe - Friends breakfast was delicious!! - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Rockaway, New Jersey

We've been trying to spend with local businesses lately and have passed this place often. We called in a takeout breakfast order on March 22nd. My husband ordered pancakes and I ordered eggs, bacon, potatoes and toast and we threw in a few muffins. He said his pancakes were average and my breakfast was overdone and the bacon was extremely greasy. The next day I was violently ill with symptoms consistent with food poisoning that took nearly a week to recover from. I haven't been that ill from food in over a decade. We will not be returning here. read more

Where the locals meet for great breakfast and lunch at reasonable cost. Great service and feels like home. I'm probably there three times a month and see a lot of familiar faces. Love it. read more

Must return for the food. Friendly and personable and makes insanely delicious iced coffee.

Great home cooked food; feel good vibe. If you're a corned beef hash person...not out of the can of Hormel; GO!!!!!! The Breakfast is always good & sandwiches at lunch hit the spot. Overall, Mom & daughter who run it are the bomb diggity co-chairs of Nice As Can Be. This is your next go-to spot. read more

Wow! What an awesome Sunday brunch my wife and I had here today! This was the first time we've been to this restaurant since it was taken over by new owners and totally remodeled. The place looks amazing! It has the feel of an old time luncheonette with the counter to sit at, but there's also a large dining room as well as outside seating. Very cool decorations throughout. The food was excellent! I ordered the omelette with mushrooms, cheddar, and spinach, with 7 grain toast. My wife had the bacon & egg avocado toast. We both loved it. Coffee and iced coffee were delicious as well! The best thing about this restaurant was how friendly everyone was. The owners, Ann Marie and her daughter Thea took so much time telling us of the place. The property has actually been owned by their family for 100 years! If you're in Rockaway and looking for a great meal, or even some homemade ice cream, do yourself a favor and stop in, you'll be happy you did! read more

I usually don't give restaurant reviews, but the oatmeal at Riverside Shoppe is awesome!!! Homemade just like oatmeal should be. This past summer my family and I did a lot of traveling on weekends and had many breakfasts out, but not one of them made oatmeal like this one. Most places I felt like you had to chew the tasteless oatmeal and here it is made to perfection very creamy and great tasting. Very cozy, clean and a wonderful aroma of coffee hits you as you walk in the door. A very delicious restaurant. read more

The food was absolutely delicious, and the atmosphere was just as wonderful. Annie was incredibly welcoming and made the entire experience so enjoyable from start to finish. You can really feel the care and warmth that goes into this place. I will definitely be coming back! read more

Went to Riverside Shoppe for a girls day brunch to celebrate my birthday! I got a white chocolate latte with oat milk and a tuna melt (I know, weird combo). Both were amazing - I would come back just for the coffee alone (and a pastry of course). Our waitress was super nice as well. Hoping to make girls brunch a more frequent tradition here :) read more

We were incredibly fortunate to partner with Riverside Shoppe over the last few weeks to create packaged meals we could serve at three separate local events. The team could not have been more helpful to partner with. The quality of the boxed meals they put together went above and beyond what we were hoping to be able to serve. The food was fresh, plentiful, and delicious. The staff was incredibly friendly, patient, and knowledgeable as we navigated our needs between events. I look forward to having many meals in the future at Riverside Shoppe, and they will forever be our go-to when we need help with catering local events. read more

We visited Riverside Shoppe while attending a toy collector convention in Hanover, NJ. We stumbled across this hidden gem by sheer coincidence. It was one of the best experiences of hospitality and kindness of my entire life. It was our friend Pablo's 44th birthday who was visiting from Panama and Ann Marie and her team prepared a mountain of ice cream sandwiches, chocolate eclairs, and more with whipped cream, sprinkles and a candle. We all sang "Happy Birthday" to him. Being from a foreign country and experiencing real American hospitality was very touching for him. If you're ever in or near Roackaway, NJ, please visit and support Riverside Shoppe. The food is amazing and service is top notch. Huge Thank you to Ann Marie and her team. read more

Rolled Up to the brand new Riverside Shoppe for a quick bite to shove in My face and gotta say I really like what they did with this place. It's been partially renovated inside with new windows to brighten the place up and a wall was removed for a better view of the kitchen.    First time in here I went with My trusted old favorite; Taylor Ham, Egg, and American Cheese Sandwich on a Roll and I was pretty satisfied overall. The coffee is very good here too as is the Counter Service.   In all honesty, while this wouldn't be My first choice for brunch in Rockaway Boro, I gotta say it's Supercool to see a new business open up in town so l'm gonna try and show 'em some support whenever I can. Come And Get Your Munch On!!  ;D read more

Stopped in for lunch on a Monday. Interesting place with funky decor in two rooms; this is not a sterile franchise. Friendly service -- my waiter José was wearing a Taylor Swift tee and we chatted about it; he has gone to a concert and I told him I'd like to hear about it next time. Great coffee, good prices. I ordered a chicken salad croissant: salad could've used a bit more mayo, but it was delicious (had craisins and walnuts). Croissant huge, though a bit dry. Served with a huge pickle spear and chips. I will definitely return; many other choices looked good. Highly recommended. read more

My family and I felt very comfortable and relaxed. The service was excellent didn't feel rushed and the food was yummy. We will be returning! read more

Should be zero stars. We waited at least 15 minutes to get a waiter to come to our table and we had to flag him down. He took our coffee and food order. We asked for milk and sugar and one glass of water. 15 minutes later, the coffee came with one spoon, no milk, no sugar , no water. 15 minutes after that , a worker came over and asked if we wanted the check. All this time, we never saw the waiter after he took our order. 50 or so minutes after our arrival, we got up, left $5 on the table for the coffee and left. read more
