This is a cute little cafe. It's tucked away next to a gas station/car wash so it's unassuming but the inside is really cute. The staff was really friendly. Enjoyed one of their specialty lattes and some waffles. The waffles were crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside. Definitely very sweet but I was looking for a sweet treat this day. The bananas were delicious too. Will be back! read more

Pulled up to a full parking lot & thought oh oh we're gonna have to wait - it was Sunday after church! Luckily we secured the last table for two! What a cute place, buzzing with happy chatter, kids laughing and staff interacting happily with patrons. Extensive menu from yoghurt and breakfast bowls, variety of waffles, choices of toasts, wraps & sandwiches, various empanadas and other house specialities. Oh and there was the lobster roll menu also! We chose a breakfast bowl consisting of scrambled eggs, beans, roasted corn, pico de gallo, avocado melted cheddar over home fries and an avocado toast - mashed avocado, arugula, tomato, seasonings & pickled radish read more

*SERVICE DOGS ONLY! This is not a dog friendly establishment.* Don't let the location being next door to a gas station fool you. This is the cutest aesthetic for a brunch spot! Definitely Instagrammable. My lobster bisque and the toasted slice of bread that accompanied it were delicious. The bisque was creamy and included a generous serving of lobster. Unfortunately, the empanadas were okay (I got beef and chicken). The empanadas are dry and not well seasoned. They also charge 75 cents for sauce on the side which is crazy considering how dry the empanadas are and how badly they need a sauce to make up for it. Staff was friendly, service was fast, and there was plenty of parking. read more

We had an excellent brunch at the Bridgewater Cafe. Sammy #1 was so good - scrambled egg, bacon, avocado, cheddar, on a great sourdough bread. But the cilantro aioli really made it unique and something I'd come back to order. Have seen many reviews about slower service, but we didn't experience that at all. Very quick and friendly - even with some special requests made by the kids. Kids also loved the giant chess board and connect 4. In fact, I'm writing this as I still sit in the restaurant because I can't get them to leave! read more

Good food. Dog friendly. Kid friendly. What more can you ask for?! Lovely to have a place to bring the whole family. The 45 minute wait for a table was smooth for my 2 year old because they had a small play area he could keep himself busy... this made the entire experience so much more enjoyable for all of us. Everyone enjoyed their food and our pup was happy to be along for the ride. It's an hour drive for us, but we'd 100% come back! read more

A solid 3.5 star brunch spot. I was pleasantly surprised by how charming and spacious the cafe was, especially given its location next to a car wash/gas station. Our server was kind and attentive. Our food was a solid 3/5 -- nothing too special about any of the dishes we ordered but nothing to complain about either. The only element of the meal we truly enjoyed were the drinks (Cinnamon Roll Latte for me and Iced Lavender Matcha for my husband, which we both loved). In this day and age, spending $60+ on brunch for "meh" food isn't really in the cards, but I wouldn't be opposed to going back if someone else footed the bill! read more

This is a really cute location! It's definitely for the people who like to Instagram their restaurant outings. The food is OK it's not amazing and I felt like the food flavoring were very surface level and there wasn't more depth to the flavor. So for example, I got a strawberry latte and the only thing strawberry about it were the dried fruit on top. There wasn't really any strawberry flavoring within the latte which was not what was advertised. So I was definitely letdown by that. The food while it tasted good I felt like it could've been a deeper flavor because it's fresh, but there weren't really spices or sauces to go with it. It was very OneNote. Now the aesthetic I would say is very very good. I did run into an issue the two times I've been here where they always forget something that we order. So we order appetizers and entrées and they'll forget the appetizers and then we won't get it until we're about to leave. And the food is good though I will say and I think it's priced very fairly. My recommendations would be for the server, so just make sure they're checking in and that the tables are getting all their food and that the menus reflect an accurate flavoring of the food. That might be why it stood out to me because the menu makes it seem like the food has a step the flavor and in my experience it really doesn't it taste good it's just is not what the menu said. It was gonna be. Parking is also a little weird. You have to like kind of drive behind it to get to more parking but overall I think it's a really cute place and I hope to see you too well. read more

Finding new gems so close to home always makes my day, I am so happy to know about a great breakfast/lunch spot just a quick drive away. If you are looking for a casual cafe with a creative and delicious menu, look no further. 3 of us stopped in on a Saturday morning and got a table right away. Luckily, the space is huge, filled with not only many tables, but a little play area for kids. The menu had everything from breakfast sandwiches to different toasts to breakfast bowls. I got the Sammy #2: Scrambled Egg, spinach, slow roasted tomatoes & goat cheese. Delicious! On the most perfectly toasted sourdough bread. Paired with a hot black coffee, it was a perfect late breakfast. Service was quick and kind, and a few of us even took home some empanadas to go. Cannot wait to return! read more

Honestly not the best brunch I spect to have better flavors know that Latinos can add that extra kick to food. Needs little more love and passion and represent the costarican cuisine as it should! Best of all was the banana waffle the breakfast bowl was not that great as it needed more flavor. All I can say is to wish you well and flourish in this business!! read more

Met up for brunch with a friend and it was great time! The ambiance was so cute, the service was good -- my only complaint was parking on a busy brunch Saturday. They are located next to a gas station and car wash which is interesting and very limited parking. The food was good, I tried a pork roll egg and cheese. I hope to try other menu items soon. read more

Soooo cute!!! Soooo whimsical and fun! I went early in the morning so it was the guy who took my order, the cook, and me so it was calm and I got to enjoy everything to myself. He fixed my order just like I asked and smiled the whole time. I love friendly service! They had so many different kinds of empanadas it was hard to choose. In the end, I got the spinach and ricotta and it was delicious! The dough was fantastic! I really like this place and can't wait to come back! I just need to bring my chess partner with me! read more

Just WOW! This cafe is so delicious and the vibes are incredible. The decorations are super fun & inviting, and the food was delicious! I ordered their El Pollo Toast which was INCREDIBLE! Never would've thought to have chicken and eggs and toast but it was amazing. It came with a side of potatoes and arugula salad which were both amazing. My boyfriend ordered the beef lovers panini and fries - which he loved. If you visit here on a weekend during brunch hours just be prepared to wait! It's worth it, though read more

Came here on a Sunday for brunch and I couldn't be more pleased. Me and my wife didn't have to wait for a table which was perfect and our service was perfect.

Food is good, but service is very slow. The place is a bit confusing as they always seem to be out of main ingredients in their dishes. Also the menu calls out ingredients like avocado and feta cheese. When in reality they're only giving you a small bite of avocado and a sprinkle of cheese. I did find scrambled eggs and bacon to be delicious and the home fries are still in my dreams. For those complaining about the dogs, may I suggest you go elsewhere? They're not hiding the fact that dogs are allowed so if you're not into animals go to the diner . read more

I've been a loyal customer since inception... they had to work out some of their operations in the beginning but the food was always good... I even got a complimentary empanada once.. im literally obsessed. They have a cute play area for both kids and adults and some cute decor inside. My favorite is the breakfast Sammy #1. If you are a BEC lover that is for you, but it's dressed up healthier and prettier! read more

Now one of my favorite brunch spots. Stumbled here on accident and it's been great every time. The staff is very friendly and accommodating. The whole vibe on the inside is very cute and soft, perfect for your instagram pics! The food is always freshly made and decent prices for the portions. I love their empanadas, definitely recommend. As well as all their drinks, they take time in presentation and taste. I do wish they had more tables- but i Understand the space is small. It gets pretty busy on the weekends. Will keep coming back and recommending to everyone! read more

Food - was delicious! Ordered: Sammy #1 for me. Forgot what my daughter and her dad ordered, but they said it was delicious! Four stars! Service - was good, friendly and welcoming. Four stars! Ambiance - was fair. Need more tables/chairs. Empty spaces should be utilized better! They need to move the tables/chairs that are in front of the bathroom and put them where the activity center is. The activity center, i.e. chess, should be in the front near the bathroom. TWO STARS! read more

Solid brunch spot with generous portions. Came in on a Sunday morning with my husband, it seems that they're low on servers though so it was a bit slow-moving. The interior is very spacious and cleanly decorated. You'll definitely leave feeling full, which is all you can ask for when you're hungry for a hearty breakfast. read more

Great spot for breakfast or lunch near the Target and Costco in Bridgewater. My family enjoyed a breakfast bowl, chicken pesto panini and chicken and waffles sandwich. Over all everything was good except the waffle was soggy and the breakfast bowl was a little bland. Loved the atmosphere, they had a giant chess set and connect 4 games that were fun to play while waiting for our meal. read more

This place supposedly has been in business for about two years, never noticed it before until was looking for a brunch place this morning. Always thought this was a lobster roll place and bypassed it a million times previously (have been living in Bridgewater for about 10 years now). What a gem, delicious breakfast meal, free refill on coffee, friendly staff and nice ambience altogether. Planning on taking the rest of family here soon, good job Bridgewater Cafe. read more

Found this gem in Bridgewater, NJ. Located next to a car wash and gas station. Breakfast was kicked up a notch. I ordered the egg, bacon, and homefries with garlic aioli wrap. My friend ordered the avocado toast. Portions were filling. Food was presented nicely. Lots of menu choices. Coffee was good. The place was very clean. Good service. Will come back to try other menu items. read more

what a shit hole of a restaurant. the staff is nasty and rude and have no business running a restaurant. They throw events and sell reservations when you don't zelle them the minute you hang up the phone....i Tried to pay the $5 they want a week before the event for the kids and they sold our reservation of 6 without letting us know that's what they do. No where on their advertisements does it state that now were we told over the phone that's what we had to do. We were told to pay in advance. I called a week before the event to pre pay like i was told and was then told they sold our table. What a fucking scam. read more

Was a random day between Christmas and New years where you forget what day of the week it is. I was interested in trying a new breakfast spot nearby and this popped up on my Yelp search. A place that was selling breakfast AND empanadas, yes easy choice. There is dining available inside. Friendly staff and restaurant is very clean. Loved the holiday decorations. Ordered the Cafe Toast, the everything bagel seasoning with the egg caught my eye and a homemade chicken empanada. The cafe toast was on a slice of sourdough bread layered with a good amount of toppings. It was hearty and delicious. The empanada was amazing, big, and fully stuffed with chicken. The seasoning was on point. Will be back to try more. read more

Great food and not too crowded for a Saturday morning brunch at 11! Service was great and food came quickly. My breakfast sandwich (everything bagel with lox, scallion cream cheese, arugula, tomato and pickled onions) was super tasty! My friend liked her cafe platter as well. The ambiance is pretty cute too with an oversized chess board and music but the tables are by doors and so it gets drafty. It'd be great to see them keep one set of doors closed and move the tables away from the entrance to make it a bit more cozy. Would love to come back and try the khachapuri (Georgian dish that's a delicious cheesy bread) and empanadas. read more

The most overrated grease pit I have ever eaten at. If you like a pile of greasy bacon on any sandwich you order with very little tastess additions then it's for you. Literally 4 thumbnail pieces of dry chicken on a CHICKEN WRAP! The rest was bacon and greasy soggy lettuce. I like bacon. But that was ridiculously Unvendible. I noticed they make anything they serve horribly unhealthy. Even their Lattes are just hot cream with flavoring. So incredibly disappointing. This is not a place for people who understand good food and what flavor means. Im sure the people who like this place think Steak-um is good steak. read more

NOTE- Before you read my 4-star review below, note that the PRICES POSTED ON THE BOARD INSIDE THE CAFE do NOT MATCH the prices inside the paper menu. READ the prices for the paper menu...my egg sandwich was $14, not what was posed inside ($11). Buyer beware! Was 15 minutes down 287 until i noted the discrepancy and didn't go back to rectify. Food is good, but prices are misleading. And probably not worth the food. Previous: Don't let the odd configuration of Vape shop, lobster roll counter, and breakfast stand fool you. Menu is creative and intriguing,...see photo...and the coffee is good. What was a mini- mart how has solid menu offerings. Counter staff was friendly enough. Coffee was strong. Food ingredients were fresh. Excellent alternative for take out of quick grab, but not a coffee shop or Cafe. Not the kind of place you'd want to spend a few hours hanging out, but a great food alternative off 287. read more

Four of us went for brunch. I found it unusual that they add a 20% gratuity for parties of four. I understand this is the norm for larger parties, but on parties of four this seemed like a red flag. Our server was absolutely rude. She got the coffee order wrong. When we corrected her, she proceeded to give us dirty looks and go behind the counter and mock us to other staff members. Just for a reference two of us at the table have been waitresses, and we would never get angry over an error. Mistakes happen and that's fine. There's no need to be nasty about it. That server did not even deliver our meals another one did. She brought out three meals, and said enjoy. I had to get up and go tell them that I was missing my meal. I was told it's not ready yet! I actually had the simplest meal of the four and was brought a meal that was clearly rushed and slopped together! We did tell the owner and she apologized. Our server then walked out from the back and smirked. It really didn't matter how she behaved because she was getting a 20% tip and on a bill that was over $110, that's a nice tip that was not deserved in any way shape or form. It's a shame because it's a cute place, but I do not recommend it and would never go back. You do not treat customers like that. read more
