Finally tried the "new" spot in town despite it being open since January. The inside was beautiful. Decorated well for Christmas but a nice lounge area and a bar that overlooks main street (farnsworth) of Bordentown. The coffee was exceptional. I went for an americano. I only had coffee but the food in the case looked very good. The service was great too. The folks working there were attentive and answered all my questions. Will certainly be coming back and would recommend.

RAF Latte with spicy honey (delicious!)
Jerry P.

I wandered into Smachna Kawa because I had arrived too early to meet friends for dinner down the street. I figured I might as well turn my impatience into caffeine. The place sits like a warm thought at the corner of Farnsworth and Church, glowing with the small kindnesses that make life bearable. I ordered the RAF latte with chili honey. The barista looked at me the way a chemist might before adding the final, possibly dangerous ingredient. He asked how much heat I could handle. I told him to let it burn. He smiled the smile of someone who knows exactly what that means and drizzled with confidence. The drink was something so familiar yet completely new. Smooth, rich, and somehow gentle despite the fire. The chili honey bit like a memory of something you once loved and lost, but it soothed just as quickly. I was glad I ordered the small, which was not small at all. The cup sat in my hands like a minor planet. The interior is modest in space but large in spirit. A few stools face the street, offering a view of Bordentown's quiet choreography of pedestrians and parked cars. Inside, everything feels intentional and cared for. The staff moved with the calm competence of people who genuinely enjoy what they are doing. I had the sense that if I had stayed an hour or two longer, nobody would have hurried me along. The air smelled of espresso and butter, and the crepes being carried past me looked like edible happiness. Sweet, savory, folded with the precision of small miracles. I will be back to try them. I might even show up early again on purpose. Smachna Kawa is the kind of place that reminds you the world still knows how to nourish beautiful things in small corners.

Came over to Bordentown to grab coffee/breakfast on the 4th of July weekend. Hadn't tried this shop yet despite it being there for a while. Ambiance was great and the staff were very friendly. Coffee drinks were good although the roast was not strong enough for me. I drink it black and it was a bit lacking in fullness of flavor but by no means was it bad. I got the uncured bacon burrito which was a huge disappointment and probably is why I rated a "4" and not a "5". Nothing fresh about it which was what I expected. Was bland and seemed to come straight from a microwave. I could have made myself a hot pocket at home and been just as satisfied. Y'all need to rethink this item as I saw another review where this item got specifically called out as a "microwaved mess". I agree! Anyway, everything else was up to par and I wish I had stuck to pastries and avoided the burrito. Still recommend checking this place out if you're in the area.

Coconut Chai

Super cute spot in bordentown! The drink was yummy and refreshing. The combo is coconut and chai really worked

To go rider (Dark Academia has the chocolate drizzles, then a cold brew, last an iced latte). All were delicious.

Kawa is 100% worth the trip into Bordentown City! If you can walk there you are incredibly lucky. This is a beautiful place with lots of areas to sit and eat or drink your coffee. They also have a food menu which includes crepes, croissants, tartlets, etc. We got three to go coffees and they were all incredibly delicious. The Dark Academia has a great creamy coffee & almond flavor but without being insanely sweet. We noticed they tend to post specials on Instagram so check them out! We will be trying some of their food items next. The staff was super friendly & accommodating. Highly recommend!

They got games!

The inside is very new and clean. We got a chocolate covered strawberry cold brew and a blueberry matcha. Both of our drinks were delicious! And I don't think they're overpriced. For both drinks it was roughly $13- AND we both got the fancy milks lol. I got pistachio milk! It was lovely. The service was great as well. 10/10 experience. I will be back!

Variety of drinks

Small and cute place. Staff is friendly! They have a variety of coffees, some I've never heard of before Highly recommend

Meat crepe with sour cream on the side
Rachel K.

Lovely new cafe in downtown bordentown. I came during their soft opening weekend, they had different types of coffees such as lattes and cappuccinos and a few food items such as meat and cheese crepes and pastries. I'm looking forward to coming back especially as their menu expands

Honey bee coffee

Got two drinks from here the honey bee was awesome and innovative drink I have never tried before. We also got the baklava latte, it was good as well. I'm a coffee lover who isn't from here so it's usually hard to find good coffee shops out here, we stumbled on a hidden gem here!

Latte and Crepe!

Tidal Road Brewery in Bordentown is well worth a visit. Came here on a Sunday afternoon with a…read morefriend. The cozy atmosphere inside makes it a perfect spot to relax with a drink, whether you're stopping in for a quick beer or spending the evening with friends. They have a solid selection of brews, offering a good variety for different tastes--from hop-forward IPAs to smooth, easy-drinking lagers. My favorite is hazy recall, which is a NE hazy IPA with juicy flavor and smooth after taste. Make sure you get one when you are there next time. Marcy, the owner, is a fantastic host who makes everyone feel welcome. She's friendly, attentive, and clearly passionate about creating a great experience for guests. Whether you're a regular or a first-timer, you'll feel right at home. If you're in the area and looking for a great local brewery with a warm, inviting vibe, Tidal Road Brewery is definitely worth checking out!

I stopped into Tindall Road Brewery for an after-dinner drink with a few friends, and found myself…read morein one of those odd little scenes that makes you wonder if you've walked into the wrong play. Out front, every table was packed shoulder to shoulder with what appeared to be a local running group in post-run celebration. Laughter, sweat, and IPAs filled the air. Inside, however, it was the crowd was sparse, save for two small groups competing in Harry Potter trivia, an event we hadn't realized was happening. After the first round, one of those tables gave up and left. That should have made the place quieter, but the trivia host's amplifier made sure it did not. Even from the far corner, it was nearly impossible to hold a conversation without shouting. It was as though someone had mistaken the volume knob for a test of strength. The bartender, to his great credit, was friendly and quick, the kind of person who makes you feel like maybe the night will work out after all. The beers themselves were fine. I tried the Pineapple Express milkshake IPA and the porter. Both were serviceable, neither was memorable. The brewery allows outside food, which is a small mercy. Being on Farnsworth, there are plenty of good places to bring something in from. They also sell simple snacks like chips and jerky, a practical touch that suits the space. Still, the whole experience left me puzzled. The place seems to want to be a neighborhood hub, but it can't decide whether to be a quiet refuge or a loud event hall. Empty yet loud, welcoming yet difficult to linger in. I wouldn't drive out of my way to return, but if a friend suggested meeting there, I'd go. I'd just hope the trivia host had the night off.

In fact, my main reason for coming was that I was curious about those. But after a meal in Btown the pale, medium sized specimens that had likely sat in their warming case for hours did not beckon me. So I checked out the 8 or so "artisan" options and decided on chocolate. All of the flavors appeared to be closer to gelato, but maybe because they were displayed in metal tubs as gelato places often do. It was dark looking and appeared to be dense, but the flavor was not dark. It was dense but not creamy. The best thing I can say about it is that it was not overly sweetened. My friend had the coconut flavor, and she was not wowed either. It's a cute shop that has housed other ice cream businesses in the past. I liked those more. But there are interesting items for sale such as candy, teas and gifts. The website states that they are affiliated with the Candy Jar in Collingswood, of which I have had occasion to visit in a previous life. Customer service was 4 stars, maybe I'll get back to try the empanadas......

I ordered to go, but the dine-in area was really comfortable and had a cool, modern vibe. The menu is pretty simple, but there's something for everyone. I got the King of Clubs sandwich and WOW. It came on focaccia, and that bread seriously made the sandwich. It was fluffy and crunchy at the same time, and the chicken was so tender. The toppings were the perfect amount and didn't overpower anything. I could only finish half of the sandwich, so you could definitely split it with someone if you're just looking for a quick bite. Whether you're grabbing something to go or sitting at the barstools catching up with friends, this is definitely a little local spot I'd come back to!

We tried two soups - the tomato and fennel and the mushroom. Although both were delicious, the tomato and fennel was the true star, especially paired with the focaccia they brought us! Incredible! We also split the King of Clubs sandwich- also delectable. There was no part lacking - the chicken, bacon, cheddar, romaine, and aioli were all on point. I can't wait to come back and try more from the menu!!
