Feels like light on the stomach, being gluten free was also a plus!!! I had the famous Ricotta and Berry toast and my sister had the Grilled shrimp bowl we also ordered Buffalo Parm garlic wings which was to die for!! Their lattes are also amazing and flavorful. Our server, Maggie was very attentive. She sees to it that we get what we need. She makes us feel at home. Wish this place was bigger because a lot of people are willing to wait hours in line! We will definitely be back to try other food menu they have!!

I ordered…read moretake out and the staff who answered told me there's a wait usually 30 - 45 mins....just for takeout?! At least she let me know. So be aware there is quite a wait if you done in or out. Other than that the menu has enough items to satisfy someone's appetite. The portions are Huge! Not only the generous serving, what was more important is the quality of the food. I rate it an A!. I've been her only once and my sandwich the Old Faithful was so good...crispy chicken cutlet on a long roll with tomato lettuce, may & oil/vinegar! I'm so happy they have a sandwich the way I like it dressed. I have mayo and oil & vinegar on all the sandwiches I order. The tator tots also rocked. Overall the quality of the food was good...fresh and the chef uses locally sourced ingredients. I also ordered an iced latte with marshmallow flavor. I tasted a hint of toasted marshmallow in my drink. So good. I will come back and try other items. They are open for breakfast & lunch only. Staff is friendly and courteous. You'll get treated well here. It's a small cafe, probably good for about 30 people. It's clean and charming. Highly recommended.

We were seated quickly, and our drink orders were taken. The waitress and other staff were very nice. We ordered the shoyu ramen, spicy shio ramen, and karaage. The ramen both had tonkotsu broth bases, i preferred the spicy shio, over the shoyu, but they both could have used a little more salt. I like wavy ramen noodles more than straight ramen noodles too. The karaage was juicy, tender, and well seasoned. It wasn't my favorite ramen, but i did really like the karaage.

All the staff were sweet and attentive. The owner was wonderful. I can tell he definitely put time and sweat into his restaurant. Fresh ingredients. Love the eggs sausage traditional breakfast.

Sweet warm apples with the crumbs on top is such a great combination. Lemon bar and brownie were good. Def a great restaurant at the neighborhood!

It has two handles on the side, making it easier to use. It can be made of wood or plastic. Located across from the train station, we decided on a celebratory meal at this popular spot for brunch/lunch in Westwood. A reservation was made for a party of 7 via Yelp. Upon arrival inside this cozy interior featuring retro decorations filled with rolling pins from ages past with several tables, we were greeted by the staff and checked in at The Rolling Pin Cafe. We were directed next door to their annex building, where it was warm and homey but with more seating. We were once more greeted by the staff and managed to get a table by the window. Their menu contains classic comfort foods for breakfast and lunch with specials rotating weekly. My partner, our friends, and I decided on the Pin Platter, Chicken Salad Sandwich, NJ Sloppy Joe Sandwich, Pesto Turkey Sandwich, Chocolate Chip Pancakes with Strawberries, Avocado Toast Platter, and 1/2 Smoked Turkey Sandwich with Mac & Cheese. The sandwiches accompanied their house-made sweet potato salad. Everything continues to be made on-site, so it's remained fresh and has that genuine homemade taste with wonderful flavors, which is hard to find these days. Portions were generous, and the price was reasonable. The owner, Jeff, is such a nice guy who sent over some complimentary desserts to sample: lemon bars, cheesecakes, brownies, and apple cobbler with vanilla & chocolate ice cream. The server Johanna was friendly and accommodating. This place never disappoints...

It was busy and with outdoor seating, people had a long wait just to sit down. It's a small place so in a weekend be prepared to wait a long time! The food was good. I gave it 3 stars because the lady (I guess she was the manager rudely told us to leave as there are people waiting to sit down. She could have spoken to us differently and we had just finished eating. Especially since she made us wait close to an hour for our food, she could've been nicer. The wait staff was pilot and pleasant. But she wasn't. Unless you're willing to wait and wait and have the manager tell you to leave rudely, I would go somewhere else or go on a weekday. I will not be back. I've been treated better at a fast food joint.

Food did take a little long to prepare, but it wasn't too far out of the ordinary considering they had to fry a whole fish. I had the Lomo en Crema de Champiñones, with a shared appetizer of Chicharrones. My mother and aunt shared the fried Tilapia with coconut rice. They thoroughly enjoyed it. My dish was delicious, hearty, and unexpected. Having been told that was the national dish of Colombia, it was well worth the try. The chicharrones were good, came out nice and hot with some green (verde) sauce similar to Peruvian Aji sauce, though not as spicy. The interior of the place is nice, definitely set up for sports with big flat screens everywhere. I'd imagine weekend nights are packed (I'd hope so). I'd definitely come back for different plates next time.

Having lived in Los Angeles/Orange County for the past 26 years, I'm kind of a snob when it comes…read moreto Vietnamese food, Pho, in particular. I was amazed when I found this little hole-in-the-wall gem in one of my old haunts, Closter. I decided to give it a try. I got two bowls of the beef combo Pho, a single order of the regular beef Pho, the Spicy Ma Mi banh mi sandwich, and a Vietnamese Iced Coffee. These items are the easiest to judge, as most of the Vietnamese restaurants around Bergen County and the surrounding area kind of fail, choosing to cater to the population (skimping on spice, choosing western ingredients over authentic Asian ingredients, etc.). When I picked up my call-in order, the woman at the counter was very nice, though not Vietnamese and neither was the cook (not a problem at all, just an observation). She handed my order and I paid with a nice tip. I made it almost half way home when I got a call from the restaurant, and the same person told me she forgot to hand me the Vietnamese Iced Coffee and apologized. I made a u-turn and drove back to Ma Mi Eatery and picked up my drink. None of this exchange knocks any points against them, in fact, I was happy they called me. When I got home and unpacked everything, it all looked pretty authentic. I started with the combo beef Pho, adding all the toppings, plus the condiments of Hoisin sauce and Sriracha. What was missing was the fresh Thai basil! Then I read the menu and saw that they put the basil IN the soup when they serve it, so when I got home, all the basil was wilted. That's a shame because every single AAA Pho restaurant in Westminster, California serves their Pho with fresh Thai basil so customers can control how much basil they want, and to prevent wilting. That is my only real critique. Otherwise, the Pho was delicious, the broth was flavorful, and the really LOADED the soup with beef. Seriously, a lot of places in Westminster aren't that generous with brisket, but Ma Mi made my day. The Spicy Ma Mi banh mi sandwich was delicious, and loaded with all the appropriate toppings and condiments, though I wish they packed the wet ingredients (pickled carrot and daikon, cilantro, jalapeño) so the bread wouldn't get soggy, which it did, slightly. The bread itself was not the best bread I've had, typically, the bread used in most Vietnamese sandwich shops have a flaky crust and airy soft bread inside. This one a bit coarse on the crust with a heavy crunch. The interior was okay though. All in all, it was a great effort. The next time I revisit my hometown, I'll be sure to stop by Ma Mi Eatery for sure.
