    The drip coffee here is surprisingly AMAZING!!!!! I had the salmon avocado toast with a poached egg on top TWICE in one week bc it was soo delicious. It also comes with a fresh salad with balsamic glaze. Their cookies are also enormous, soft, and delicious. I also ordered a chai latte and a matcha latte which were very good but really pricey, basically a dollar per ounce. The café itself is cozy, modern, and lively without being boisterous. It's a great vibe for working or relaxing and there's a pile of games patrons can play during their visit. Service here is also great! I had noticed my salmon toast was missing the avocado I ordered and that was very quickly corrected. The baristas are very friendly and it helps add to the comfort of this place. I already can't wait to go back

    Avocado toast was amazing I like what they did to the egg lol, latte was fantastic. Service was great super nice. Ambiance pretty fire I had a business meeting here and my client said that's there new spot lol.

    Quiet, nice, and cozy place to get your morning going! They've got a lot breakfast options

    Americano and oat milk latte

    We ordered at the counter and they have both indoor and outdoor seating so we opted for outdoor. Too cold so we went indoors. When the man who took our order brought out our food, he stated, "you were supposed to be outside," in a somewhat unfriendly manner. It took me off guard. The panini was good--messy though because the cream cheese just squished out, and the smoked salmon was a little cooked from the heat. But it was okay. Not really worth the $14, though. The coffees were good, no acidity and very smooth.

    Barista counter and small tables along the entrance. There are more seats on the opposite side as well.

    A nice coffee shop worth visiting. I came by on a Saturday morning and it was relatively busy. The majority of the seats were occupied and there were a frequent influx of customers coming in and out. The service was great. The barista was super friendly, and when I asked for the Wi-Fi password one of the workers brought the QR code right to my table which was very kind. I ordered the chai latte which was pretty good. My only complaint was that the music was pretty loud so if you are coming here to do work or take some calls, you might want to bring a pair of headphones. Metered street parking although I noticed a sign on the way out that there is a free lot a few blocks down on the weekend.

    Iced matcha latte

    This is my first time coming here early in the morning and I had a GREAT experience!! The ambiance is so cute from the decor to the music. I ordered the matcha ice late (whole milk) with a Black Ham Swiss panini and a cream fruit waffle. It was all so so good! The service was so kind and I'm glad I chose to go here for an early breakfast trip. I would 100% go back for more and I definitely recommend for a quick but yummy breakfast or even for a quick study session.

    Great coffee shop. The staff is really friendly and the shop is very clean. I love the coffee here & it is in a very cute little downtown area. They had nice decorations(including fresh flowers on communal tables) and live music in the afternoon. They offer a large number of gluten free options which is great. I really appreciated how they brought out a chilled mug of water when I asked for one instead of just having a self-service option -- appreciate it's a small thing but it really shows that they go above and beyond. Great first visit, highly recommended!

    Peppermint hot chocolate
    Jimaye F.

    Such a cute place to go. The service was very helpful and friendly. We got a latte, peppermint hot chocolate, chocolate croissant, and ham Swiss and baked egg croissant. The croissant melted in your mouth and honestly I wanted more after I was done but after the delicious drinks you'll be full off of one. All of which was absolutely delicious. I would definitely recommend coming here for both a quick bite to eat or to get a coffee or food to go. Only thing is I wish the fans werent on and on high because my drink got cold really fast and it's cold outside. But I will be back!

    Iced tea
    Jill C.

    Was a loyal Plainfield patron. Stopped in @rahway location for a fabulous ice tea. Tasted fresh, smooth and didn't need sweetener. I'll be back for more of these. Lovely interior! Park for free several blocks up.

    Egg and cheese and cappucinos
    Brianna M.

    The service is always patient and on point. The ambiance seems like you can work from there, good for business meetings, or stop in with friends. I love that they hang local art. It's right by the train station so it's great to grab and go. I also love that they serve 8oz cappuccinos as no where in the area truly does. I prefer my cappuccinos less milky.

    I genuinely wish Yelp allowed me to give more than 5 stars, because this place deserves an 11/10…read morefor customer service alone. The first cake I ever ordered from Pinho's was a beautiful double-stacked birthday cake. The craftsmanship was incredible. It was artistic, aesthetically beautiful, extremely high quality, and tasted just as good as it looked. Unfortunately, after picking it up, we made a mistake transporting it in the car and the cake completely fell apart on the way home. This was entirely OUR fault, not the bakery's. We brought it back about an hour later hoping there was anything they could possibly do to save it. What happened next is the reason I'm writing this review. The owner went completely above and beyond for us. She stayed HOURS later than she needed to, personally working to rebuild and restore our cake. She somehow managed to bring it back to life and make it beautiful again. She didn't charge us anything for all that extra time and work, and then, incredibly, even gave us another cake on the side. That kind of kindness and dedication to a customer is something I won't forget. I'm back at Pinho's again now for another birthday because after that experience, choosing where to get the cake wasn't even a question. Their cakes are beautiful, creative, high quality, and absolutely delicious, but it's the people behind them that made me a returning customer. 5/5 for the cake. 11/10 for the service. Thank you again for what you did for us. You turned what could have been a birthday disaster into a memory we'll always have.

I just wanted to…read moreinclude some screenshots of the website to show that nowhere does it say writing a "happy birthday" on the cake and adding basic piping to the edges is going to cost $45. I still believe that should have been disclosed upon ordering. I want to start by saying that the staff was very kind, and both the ordering and pickup experiences were pleasant. Everyone I interacted with was nice, and I do want to give them credit for that. That said, the cake itself just was not very good, which was the biggest disappointment. We ordered a vanilla cake with Oreo filling for my son's birthday, and unfortunately it was dense, overly sweet, and overwhelming. I didn't see a single person finish their slice, and those who did take a bite to see if they wanted their own decided against it. We ended up cutting only about 10 slices, and more than half the cake was never even cut (and thrown away). For a cake that ended up costing $220 for 15-20 people, I expected something much better. I also did not realize until I saw my credit card statement the day of the party that the total was that high, and I was not told that the basic decoration/name would add another $45. I understand they are covering themselves by saying "may include fees" but for the basic cake If the cake had been expensive but delicious, I would have felt differently. But given the taste, the amount that went uneaten, and the lack of clarity around the final price, I would not order this cake again.
