You J.

A new coffee shop along Park Ave in Rutherford. The place is cozy with very chill music which is perfect for quiet coffee time or even if you have to do work. I love the aesthetic of the place. I ordered latte and fruit danish which was good and affordable. The service was fast and barista was friendly.

Pastries

Ordered a coffee with cream & a chocolate croissant. Was told the chocolate croissant was sold out, so I ordered a regular croissant. After waiting over 10 minutes, I was given a black coffee, no croissant. The guy looked confused and indicated that he had told me it was sold out. I reminded him that I had changed the order from a chocolate croissant to a plain croissant, and he didn't understand what I was saying. At that point I left. I really wanted to support a local business instead of heading over to dunkin' donuts but I would have been in and out. For what it's worth, there were plenty of plain croissants. I didn't want to reorder and wait another 15 minutes for something that could be handed over immediately.

The Bergen Wrap

Steven's Cafe in Jersey City does not miss with their Bergen Wrap. During my two-week mission on the East Coast to sample every breakfast burrito the city had to offer, this one easily stood out as the best I've had so far. The proportions were spot-on--perfectly balanced with a layer of bacon well cooked egg--and the presentation was a flawless 10/10. I was starving and ended up devouring it, with every bite proving to be even better than the last. Paired with a refreshing iced coffee made with coconut milk, this meal hit the spot. Although I ordered via DoorDash and couldn't experience the in-person ambiance, the burrito is more than enough for me to go back.

First time visit. Red eye (coffee and espresso) was great. So was the avocado toast with an added poached egg with an included side spring mix salad. Nicely decorated and friendly service. Only critique is a bit of a wait for the order and $20 for the breakfast for one which was not particularly large and filling. But, it was very tasty. And, be sure to feed your meter on the street. I saw someone with their blinking hazards get a parking ticket as soon as I parked.

Great coffee. Tons of open seating. Lots of pastry selection and macarons also. Only downfall is that it smells very off inside. It isn't a rotting smell, but like a ton of cheap air freshener mixed with something so I couldn't work inside.

Cute, local spot in Rutherford NJ on Park Avenue. Service sometimes is slow. I think once my husband waited like 30 minutes for our two bagels & coffee order. However, food is good for what it is - bagels, pastries, omelets etc Also, a bit on the pricey side

Iced coffee, banana strawberry smoothie
Politia M.

Steven's cafe is my favorite treat! Delicious desserts and flaky pastries, fresh donuts and huge bagels, yummy breakfast. The guys working there are the sweetest and so professional. They keep the place super clean. I usually go for the iced coffee ($4) my daughter loves their smoothies ($6). Also their bacon egg and cheese sandwiches ($5) are tastier than any deli around town. Service could be a little faster but we ll wait a little longer for excellent quality!

This was my second time at Steven's Cafe and first time bringing my family. We happen to be in the area and I suggested it bc of how much I enjoyed it the first time. Clean, modern atmosphere. Solid town cafe where people seem to gather to catch up or to do work. Huge selection of foods and pastries. Definitely great, freshly made foods

What a lovely addition to Park Ave. I've been to a Stevens cafe before and I'm not sure if this one is newer but I definitely enjoyed my experience here better. I'd been following them on Facebook and when I saw they had a pistachio cream filled croissant I had to go and get one! So delicious, super fresh and flaky. The pistachio cream was perfect, I wouldn't change a thing. The staff was also friendly. They have a ton of other breakfast goodies. They also offer sandwiches, parfaits, and I saw just about every bagel you could imagine. Overall a great shop, a bit pricey but it's a nice treat once in a while.

Within a walking distance from Rutherford Station, Steven's Cafe is a great addition to high-end restaurants nearby. Interior finishes are very modern: wood slats, beige stone flooring, black (jet mist color) countertop and chairs, green wall and Dyson Airblade in the one-person restroom. We tried a small cup of cold brew and a mango passion smoothie. Although I didn't expect ice cubes in cold brew (I usually don't like diluted cold brew) but not bad. The mango smoothie mixed with almond milk was not too heavy but not too light. The selection of jazz, gently reverberated in the very open space with high ceiling, was good enough for a rainy night.

Açaí bowl
Anthon M.

Very modern and clean ambiance with plenty of seating and charging outlets, which is needed when you are about to go to a coffee shop for a few hours to write, drink and eat. Staff is very nice and polite and make you feel like a guest in free to roam. Coffee is good if you order something fancy like a cappuccino. Also their açaí bowl is definitely recommended. It was filling and refreshing in all the ways. Would definitely get again. Bathrooms are also clean which is always a plus!

Oh yeah this is a place that you must try!…read more First of all it's not a lot of food so if you're the type of person who likes to eat a lot you might not be very satisfied here. But definitely a type of delicate dish that you would enjoy in every bite. The chef has different menus throughout the season and every single one has something unique and amazing to check. The homemade pasta with truffles was out of this world so delicious like everything else we try. Our waitress was so sweet and very knowledgeable in every dish she recommended. The atmosphere very nice but the only problem i found was that there's only one bathroom for a single person so that was inconvenient but besides that We love it!!

The restaurant is absolutely beautiful, and the oversized florals surrounding the main entry make for a gorgeous photo backdrop. The food was also beautifully presented and clearly fresh. The passion fruit mango mocktail was delicious and gorgeous, the side salad was simple but incredibly flavorful, and the homemade French fry potatoes were hands-down the star of the meal. They were so good that we ordered extra sides for the table because we were all still hungry after our mains, We visited on Mother's Day with a party of eight and left feeling underwhelmed overall. My mother-in-law struggled to find anything on the menu that appealed to her and ultimately ordered the beet pasta, which she found disappointing. Several of the entrees lacked the wow factor we expected, especially at this price point. When you're spending $235 on a steak, you expect a memorable dining experience. Instead, the most talked-about items at our table were the fries, the mocktail, and the salad. Many of us were still hungry by the end of the meal, which made the final bill even harder to swallow--especially considering we didn't order alcohol. We skipped dessert at Fiorentini and headed up the street to Charlie's instead, where we enjoyed delicious ice cream at a much more reasonable price. The service was friendly, the ingredients seemed fresh, and the presentation was beautiful. We really wanted to love it, but for us the overall value just wasn't there. Another annoyance was there's only 1 rest room and a mom went in to breast feed her child and 3 of us waited in line for 30 minutes.

You can tell this is a staple spot for the locals that live around. Had a cranberry lemon drop and it was great. Not too sweet.

So tender didn't even need a knife. Side of mashed potatoes were buttery, garlicky, and everything you'd want. Star of the show was the sauce simply no words. Also had a bite of the grass fed steak and chicken parmigiana. Good as heck honestly I don't think u can order anything bad from this place. Bread pudding for dessert almost sent me into a coma.

Even as a lone diner, I felt welcomed by the restaurant's romantic atmosphere and charming decor. My server Juliet was delightful and very attentive. She was helpful with entree selection by describing each item carefully and clearly. I ended up choosing the Arugula and Pear salad followed by the Pistachio Lemon Pepper Pasta. Absolutely phenomenal! The balance of flavors were perfect in the salad and a delight to eat! The pasta had a marvelous lemon, nutty flavor! For dessert, I went with a classic - crème brulee and cappuccino! Was not disappointed! If you want an unforgettable dining experience, I highly recommend this place! Can't wait to go back! Thank you to the staff of Paisano's! Keep it up!

It was once again not served hot but was somewhat warmer than the arinicini but not by much. They could step up their game and brew their own ice tea instead of serving bottled ice tea. It's pretty easy to make ice teas with various flavors. Was a cute place, tables a little close together but was clean, nice lighting and decor. As a customer I would have expected more attention to our glasses, check on how the food was occasionally.

For food, we decided to order a bunch of things to share: -Zucchini fritte (with lemon aioli dipping sauce) - this was thin and perfectly crispy but somehow not oily. It was addicting -Arancini - these were okay. Could have used more meat -Margherita pizza - can't go wrong with a margherita. I do wish the actual crust was thinner -Meatball & Co pizza (meatballs, sweet sausage, cherry peppers, tomato sauce, mozzarella & ricotta cheese) - same with the crust situation. The description also said cherry peppers but they also added jalapenos, which is not a big deal - just a call out. The sausage was alright -Seafood fra Diavolo (sauteed clams, calarami, mussels, spicy tomato sauce) - sauce could have used a bit more spice. They don't skimp on the seafood though. I was pleasantly surprised by the calamari, which can taste rubberband-y but that wasn't the case here -Tiramisu - tasted fridgey/supermarket-bought -Affogato - a nice way to end the meal. Made me wonder why I don't make more affogatos at home Overall, it the meal was fine. Is it something I'd crave for? I don't think so. Well, maybe except that zucchini fritte. I wouldn't mind ordering that again. Tip - BYOB (there's a liquor store across the street)

Located on that odd street across from the train station but found street parking easy as it is not in the center of the business district. BYOB. The Food Apps-- The ( special) homemade chickpea soup was excellent. But the crab cake fell flat for me. Just OK. As for the fried calamari....I'm no stranger to this dish and I felt here the coating was just too thick & cornmeal-y if you know what I mean. The mussels in white wine sauce was very good. Entrees-- The Grilled Salmon; served w/ grilled zucchini, roasted potatoes & pesto was a disappointment. I usually never order farm raised salmon because it gets dry easy and this was the case here. Also the small roasted potatoes were dry and there was barely any pesto on it, I cannot recommend this dish. From what I've heard elsewhere, the pasta dishes are the "go to" here. Dessert-- How crazy that I had one of the best cappuccinos here ( if you like big, robust foam) And you must try to the house made cheesecake. Unlike any (heavy) Italian ricotta cheesecake I ever had, this version is very light and the consistency more like a solid flan. Excellent.
