    Great little dinner! Reasonable priced. Great food! It's a little hard to find with GPS, it's worth it! Great service. Old timey dinner setting.

    Truck stop diner in industrial area of Elizabeth near port. Convenient location. Not fancy but good wholesome food. Only go if in area and need to eat. Good service . Ambience of 59 year old diner not renovated since opening.

    Busy cook!

    Solo diner, middle age white female here. Stopped for food before long term parking drop off at Newark Airport due to flight delays. Totally safe, clean and DEElish food, GREAT coffee, friendly service, polite customers. This is the real deal and I'm almost happy my flight got delayed. They don't make 'em like this anymore, stop by if you're in the area, you won't regret it, lots of Latin influenced options as well, which I love.

    I was trying to find a spot near Newark airport before my flight and stumbled across this unexpected gem. Our server Mari was the sweetest thing and hustling during rush hour lunch. We ordered Turkey club, cheesesteak and tuna wrap and all were so yummy with choice of soup, fries or onion rings.

    Under $20 what a great deal !!

    Good local place. Close to Hudson yard. I highly recommend this place for a quick breakfast

    Filthy dirty. I walked into the bathroom during breakfast and someone was cleaning up from the night before. There were feminine bodily fluids and vomit everywhere. He let me go in the bathroom he was cleaning and there was soiled toilet paper EVERYWHERE. The food wasn't good either. Bland and flavorless. I wish we'd gone to the diner across the street instead.

    Great place to get some late night food after a long night drinking food is food, service is decent enough food is pretty good bad think is next to a go go bar and on late nights it's hard to find parking spot... Overall is a good restaurant for late night food...

    Live from the kitchen.

    I came to Blossoms Brunch Bar with my wife and kids. The atmosphere is very chic. You can tell they…read moreput a lot of attention to detail in creating it, and I think it is definitely shining through. They do have a small parking lot in their back, but it is maybe 3 spots total, so you may need to find street parking. The service is pretty good, although I was initially annoyed they didn't have paper menus and we had to use our phones. Being on your phone with a small child in a restaurant doesn't always go super well. Later I saw a table get a set of paper menus, which I was a little annoyed they didn't just offer us, especially with a small child. The food was overall good. I shared the pancake trio and the Monroe with my son. The pancakes were all really good. We had gotten the strawberry cheesecake, the caramel pecan, and the blueberry lemon. I think my son really liked the strawberry cheesecake. I thought the blueberry lemon were great. The pancakes tasted like they used some sort of lemon zest or something in the batter, as the lemon really shined through nicely. My eggs were a little overcooked, but the bacon was pretty spot on. I had also gotten a hot chocolate which I thought was good, although there was some powdered mix that was not fully incorporated in the bottom. My biggest gripe was they automatically added an 18% gratuity to all parties of two or more, and if you were going to do that, just raise your prices and have a no-tipping policy. I am sure there are solo diners, but basically everyone is getting charged the 18%, so just raise your prices so there is more transparency for what you are being charged since there was literally no single diners there when I was there. There was also a few price things on our bill that I wasn't thrilled about. Their menu has listed items that are additional for an upcharge. When I had ordered the Monroe, I had the option to add cheese to it, and they asked if I would like any cheese with it, so I said sure. The little bit of cheese was an extra $1.50, and I feel like being that they have other things that they clearly called out as an upcharge, they should have let me know it was an extra $1.50 for this. Also on the bill, they charged me for oat milk for my hot chocolate. I had to draw this to their attention that I hadn't ordered oat milk. they merely said, "well we mixed it in." That's not the point, it did taste a little off, and I specifically ordered a regular hot chocolate. While they took the 50 cents off, it did feel like they were just nickeling and diming me on some things. Overall, I had an okay experience. The pancakes were good, but the service was friendly. By the time we left, the place was completely packed and people were waiting outside so I think that speaks to how good the food is and maybe I just had a slightly less positive experience.

Anyway, since then I've been back 3 more times; once for breakfast and twice for brunch. And while I'm confessing, the two times for lunch were on subsequent days. Yeah, they're that good. Actually, their chicken salad on a croissant is the best I've ever had and in my advanced years I've had a crapload of chicken salad. The have a nice sized coffee bar, decorated beautifully with some pretty delicious looking pastries. I'm on an anti-sweet phase so I'm basing my opinion on only on appearance. Then there's a seating area when you can eat, served by a friendly attentive staff and an adjacent boutique area where you can purchase housewares, clothing and other cool stuff. I'm not in Maplewood all that often, generally when I'm shopping at the equally awesome City Workshop but when I do, I always make sure to hit up Perch. You should too. 1/2 star deduction because they don't offer fake sugar, just that Stevia crap which is gross.

The wall frames and Christmas decorations are gorgeous and there are tables, with comfortable seating, on one end of the Cafe. I ordered the following: Matcha White Hot Chocolate (a traditional matcha latte blended with white chocolate sauce), Snickerdoodle Latte (A traditional latte, blended with brown sugar, cinnamon, and vanilla syrup). Both of these were served at the perfect temperature, were richly creamy, and served in large mugs. I also ordered a Carrot Cake Muffin and it was very good. It was moist, each forkful had a decent amount of walnuts, and the frosting was exquisite. Once you're finished with your food, don't forget to stroll through the entire cafe. You'll probably find something that will pique your interest. Either way, try to make time to enjoy it all.

The entrance was confusing--it feels like you're walking into a clothing store, with a kitchen right next to it. Personally, I'd hesitate to buy clothes so close to cooking smells and fumes. The setup felt odd to me. Our server, Kayden, was a gem: attentive, polite, and welcoming. They were definitely the highlight of our visit. We started with the onion ring chutney, which I'd rate 2 out of 5. The onions were fried so hard that they were difficult to enjoy, but we were hungry and don't like wasting food. The tandoori chicken was underwhelming. The Foreigner burger had good flavor and was very juicy, but the fries were also overly fried and hard. I didn't understand the approach to fried hard. The Pom Pom juice tasted good, but it had too much ice and felt overpriced for what we received. I'm glad I finally tried it, and I appreciated Kayden's service, but the food and overall value left me unsure whether I'd return.
