    Awesome and authentic teas, herbs and preparatory items. They import direct from China and can put together specific concoctions to fit your needs. You can also make arrangements to have a customary tea ceremony where you can how to prepare and try different teas. You can also learn about the various herbs to mix with your favorite tea to treat various ailments or boost health and energy. The owner will also provide you with the history of and regions where various teas come from. They also serve bubble teas in plain or various flavors, delicious! They also carry all the tools needed to prepare your tea at home. Traditional tea servers, cups, etc. If you are in the area, this is a fun place to stop on in, browse the shop and have a wonderful cup of tea.

    Came here with one of my friends and we're so glad we found this place. It's not your typical American tea store. Be ready to experience how the Eastern culture does it. Upon walking into the store, you feel at peace. It is nicely decorated and the staff is very friendly and knowledgeable. This is not some tea you can replicate by getting at the supermarket. The staff will show you how to properly serve the tea as well - you select your choice of teapot and it can range from $10-$30 per pot. Our teapot only ended up being $10 but it was so worth it for the amount of cups of tea we were able to brew with. The leaves are very strong even with a quick brew. There are different services available, for example, if you want the staff to serve the tea to you. There are also tea and tea pots for sale. Check it out when you get a chance :)

The almond cornetto was perfectly sweet. Soft of the inside, crispy on the outside. The cornetto was big enough for two! The salted toffee latte was delicious as well, not too sweet and had the nutty after taste. Even though it was packed, we managed to get two seats by the windows, they had two fun games to play to keep them entertained! I can't wait to try a flight next time!

It's located on a street corner in a neighborhood section of Montville/Boonton. The building is covered in this beautiful old stone that adds a distinctive charm to the coffee shop. Inside the decor is really cozy and warm. I ordered a Pistachio Cream which was delicious and super creamy. Service was pretty quick and considering how busy it was when I stopped in. They offer some food options as well. Inside there is plenty of seating and there is some outdoor patio seating including one of those outdoor bubbles. Parking can be challenging when it's really packed. I recommend visiting if you're in the area!

The store has a small coffee shop inside, offering both food and drinks. A large bakery assortment and several savory options like quiche fill the showcase.

The shop also has a retail section with Boonton-themed T-shirts, soaps, and seasonal décor items (this time, Christmas décor was on display). The place has a really nice vibe.

Then told me I couldn't bring anything in and then walked off to continue his conversation with his buddy. Now I respect policies but this dude is something else. Theres a lot of ways to approach the situation and the way this old guy handled it, was not it. He thinks he's some sort of marshall and has no concept of how to talk to people even though he's dealt with the community for years. If you want to try bringing in your stuff, you'll see exactly what I'm talking about. Im sure their overall service is good but he needs a complete attitude adjustment or retire.

    Stopped by Tierra Encanto and absolutely loved it. I ordered the pistachio latte, and it was…read moreperfectly done -- a great balance of nutty flavor with just the right touch of subtle sweetness, not overpowering at all. Easily one of the better specialty lattes I've had. The almond croissant was fantastic: flaky, buttery, and topped generously with almonds. It paired really well with the coffee. The café was very busy when we walked in, which says a lot about how popular it is. Tables are on the smaller side, so if you're planning to work on a laptop, it can feel a bit tight -- but it's still doable if you're mindful of space. What really stood out was the staff. Everyone was genuinely kind and welcoming, even with the rush. Overall, great coffee, excellent pastries, and a warm vibe. Definitely worth the stop, whether you're grabbing something to-go or sitting down for a bit.

I've seen a few negative reviews, but my experience has been totally different and I honestly think those critiques are undeserved. The coffee and food are fantastic. Their beans come fresh from the family plantations in Colombia, which you really can taste in every cup -- you won't find that kind of direct farm-to-cup flavor around here. It's wonderful to have such great quality coffee and a lovely atmosphere right here in Lake Hiawatha. Highly recommend stopping by!

That said I have definitely had bagels and coffees at other Dunkin' many of times, but both of these were truly awful. Even the lady behind the counter chose not to acknowledge me while I stood there with nobody in front of me. Finally, I spoke up and asked if she was ready for my order. A plain bagel with cream cheese was rock hard. Tasted 4 days old and barely any cream cheese. She messed up my coffee order and put sugar in it, and I never take sugar. I didn't realize until we were already on the road so sadly, I could not bring it back in for an exchange. The only positive about this Dunkin' was that it was very clean even towards the end of a day.

    When I stopped by here with my top-tier chums, we initially speculated on why this place is so…read morepopular (parking was a little crazy and there were small lines of people waiting to sit down throughout our meal). The obvious theories were that it was either really good or the only game in town. Based on our experience, it's a little from Column A, a little from Column B. We came for brunch this past Saturday around 11:30am. None of us had been here before, but it was roughly a "meet in the middle" type of situation conveniently located off of 202. Although all of the nearby parking spots in this strip mall were occupied, it's a big enough parking area that it wasn't difficult to locate a spot further away closer to the road. Little annoying, but it is what it is and could have been worse. Inside was similar - part of it for sure was due to our timing, but it was crowded and a bit chaotic. I went in first to secure seating, and we lucked out with a table near the door immediately. The biggest knock on Red Barn is that it's just not that comfortable, at least in that seating section by the counter. It's picnic tables for the most part with no seat backing, and you are RIGHT up against your neighbors - I bumped into the back of the guy behind me several times. The obvious solution is both normal tables/seats and/or removing one of the picnic tables to give everyone a little more breathing room. Honestly, it reminded me of the worst parts of NYC restaurants, where they basically jam in as many tables and chairs as possible as a cash grab. Easy fix, and I'm surprised it hasn't been done. The menu was legit, and put a lot of my initial concerns to rest. It's gigantic (befitting a diner-esque establishment), with both lengthy breakfast and lunch sections, along with a specials menu that could have been a standalone menu in most places. I was in the middle of a physically active day and got a little naughty (which I regretted later, but that wasn't Red Barn's fault), opting for the Biscuits & Gravy entree, which also came with two eggs and hash browns. Honestly, too much food and in hindsight I would have just gotten the Biscuits & Gravy, especially since my companions and I split pancakes w/ strawberries on top as well. Lesson learned. Everything was very good; nothing mind-blowing, but it did the job. The Biscuits & Gravy was an insane portion, featuring four biscuit halves. I thought the eggs needed a bit of pepper for flavoring purposes, but beyond that no discernable issues with any of the food. The service was very good and essentially matched the chaos in there. Our waitress was understandably very busy, constantly moving around, and yet stopped by regularly. Additionally, all of our orders were on the table within about 10 minutes or so. No issues whatsoever in that regard. Additionally, the bathrooms were a delight, covered in quirky signage. As mentioned, this is kind of a weird area where you don't have a real downtown/Main Street section to meet up with people, so it's a big plus when you find a random, decent establishment.

    Another local, small-business gem…read more Theor breakfast selection is TO DIE FOR, the staff is always amazingly friendly and cheerful and the ambiance is undefeated, really gives that small-town-Saturday charm
