Luckily, we only had to wait 10-15 minutes. t's a small quaint restaurant with indoor and outdoor seating. Nice creative menu. Everyone at the table ordered the salted caramel French Toast and I added a side order of chicken sausage. They were out of hot drip coffee so we ordered Cafe Americanos instead and as coffee snobs, did not disappoint. The French toast was one big thick mini loaf of bread topped with bananas. Tasty, fresh, and with a dab of whipped salted caramel to dip. Outstanding. The chicken sausage consisted of four tasty links. All the plates went back empty The service was excellent and friendly. The prices were very competitive and there is ample parking in a public lot next door. Worth the visit from down in Cranford.

Very nice! What a cute little cafe with lovely outdoor seating and staff.

Nice juicy flavorful grilled chicken breast with fresh mozzarella, roasted tomatoes and pesto. I swapped fries for arugula. 5/5! - grand marnier pancakes - fluffy and moist. One bite was enough for me as there was zero orange flavor so they weren't exciting to me. - salted caramel french toast - looked beautiful! My mom had this and said the texture inside was lovely but flavor wasn't exciting. - eggs in Purgatory - my cousin loved it! Overall we had a great time. Savory dishes were far superior to the sweet ones. Coffee was excellent!

They almost resembled meat sticks (finger thickness or slimmer) than standard breakfast sausages. You can assemble your own crepes, dessert or savory.

Small indoor area with nice outside seating too. AI-looking wall mural was a bit off-putting, though.

Visited Rey Sol Coffee today and I loveeeeeee omg it's so beautiful in there. Also, the food was…read moregreat. I had the avocado toast and I added extra egg white for more protein. It was yummy.

This place is popping, and for good reason. The servers are quite attentive and always present so it's not hard to flag someone down if you need something. I noticed they were also quick to clear trash (like straw wrappers) from the tables frequently. The food is also really good - i recommend the k-chicken & waffles and the lemon ricotta pancakes w blueberry compote. They also have lots of fun drinks (both coffee/tea-based and fruity refreshers). Parking might be a bit difficult but if you're lucky you might find an open spot on the street right outside. Otherwise, there's a lot nearby as well.

It's cutely decorated, plus my friend and I were able to get a booth. The menu has a lot of options and the food is good. I got the chicken and waffles and my friend got the breakfast wrap. Both were very flavorful and delicious. The sauce and the chicken and waffles was not my personal favorite so I would try something else next time. But my friend loved her breakfast burrito and would get it again. Our cappuccino and orange juice were a great addition to brunch! The service was OK, nothing too fancy. Since it was early, they weren't really busy with customers sitting in the restaurant, but they did get a lot of online orders and they were busy behind the counter. Overall good brunch, but i think it'll be some time before I visit again.

White Maple blew me away. A small café on the busy East Ridgewood Avenue, which has indoor and…read moreoutdoor seating. As soon as I entered, I was captivated by the red brick walls, the tile floor, and tasteful decor. Our Server, Leska, did a fabulous job with every aspect of the meal. The drinks (Brown Sugar Shaken Espresso and Iced Biscoff Latte) had nice presentations and I appreciated the water bottles at every table. We shared the Caprese Salad and Hummus. As you'll see in the photos, they were fresh, served in large portions, and were gone in a few minutes. The entree was the Lemon Ricotta Pancakes. It was adorned with plenty of blueberries and the dollops of whipped cream added to the enjoyment of every bite. White Maple really won me over and will be my go-to, when in this area.

The original sever mixed up our order, ordered the wrong things and never even bothered to apologize for all the errors. She even blamed someone else for one of the errors. Zero accountability and no attempt from management to adress the issues and make it right. They also tried to add a tip to the bill, which we requested to have removed. The food was ok. I enjoyed the crab cakes benner, but the turkish platter was mid. Unfortunately the food was not good enough to overcome the terrible service. I do not recommend this place.

I bought the same chickpea salad sandwich, got home took a bite, and it tasted not so fresh - so I only ate half.

I do believe that the salad was at the end of its freshness when they served it, and by that evening, even refrigerated, it was spoiled. Wont go back, wont recommend.

THE GOOD ----------------…read more+ PHENOMENAL FOOD!!!!! ++++ Miso Marinated Salmon - Was absolutely delicious. Salmon was cooked perfectly, wasn't dry and still moist. The citrus scented wild rice was excellent too. ++++ Truffle Burger - Honestly, one of the BEST burgers I've had in a longggggg, longgggg time. Everything was perfect about it - the caramelized onions, gruyere on top, bacon, truffle aioli, and, of course, the burger itself. The patty was dripppping with juices with every single bite and cooked to medium excellence. Oh, and those truffle fries that came with it? To die for! Loved the thinness of them and there was PLENTY of it to go around. ++++ Kids Macaroni & Cheese with Fruit - Relatively simple, but the creamy kind of mac and cheese. Kids absolutely loved it. The fruits were just grapes and a few little slices of pineapple, which we would have liked a bit more of. ++++ Kids Cheeseburger and Fries - Burger was DEFINITELY, without a doubt cooked well-done. It was a bit on the tiny side, but we still split it between the kids. Once again, fries were fantastic and there was more than enough to share. ++++ Banana-Rama Smoothie - Strawberry, banana goodness. Could definitely tell this was not artificial from the "true" flavor of the smoothie. It wasn't super sweet. + Service was very good throughout the evening. ++++ Food came out shockingly fast and fresh. ++++ Our waiter was friendly, on point and came by to check on us a few times. + Plenty of space inside of the restaurant, including an outdoor-indoor tent that is heated. + Decor was modern and contemporary, very clean inside. + Ambiance for dinner was dark and intimate, which caught me off guard because I thought it would be more casual, but perfect for group gatherings still and casual dine-ins. + PLENTY of parking in the large lot in front and to the side of the restaurant, which is shared within a little strip mall. + They take reservations online. THE NOT SO GOOD ---------------------------- - Nada! MIXED THOUGHTS --------------------------- = Nada! RANDOM OBSERVATIONS -------------------------------------- = Dined from 5:45 - 7:15 PM on a Friday and most of the evening crowd was older and there weren't many families with kids. There were maybe 2-3 families with kids, but they left by 6:15 PM. Most of the groups were groups of 4, seemingly catching up during a nice meal. CONCLUSION -------------------- = I was pleasantly surprised by the experience we had here. I figured this would be a super casual Friday after work/school dinner with the fam, but this turned out to be one of the best meals we've had in North Jersey in a while. Food, service and ambiance here was excellent. Wish they had .5 stars on Yelp because Saddle River Cafe is as close to perfection as it can get at 4.5 stars!
