Cold brew with big coffee cube
Nick C.

Went to Turning Point for breakfast on a Sunday. Surprisingly, it wasn't too busy at 10am and we were seated immediately. It's a fairly large casual restaurant, reminds me of a large eat-in kitchen at someone's home. I got the cold brew and my wife got a French press for coffee. Both were pretty good, i like the large serving sizes and the giant iced coffee cube that came with the cold brew. For my entree I got shakshuka and my wife got a breakfast platter with a belgian waffle. Shakshuka was decent, definitely have had better though. The breakfast platter was very average. We also got the cinnamon rolls with tableside frosting, which was basically just the waiter squirting a bottle of frosting on top of the cinnamon rolls lol Food was average, portions were good for the price, especially with the recent price hikes at local diners.

Lovely experience dinning in. Ordered Kale to the King and loved it. Very refreshing. Grabbed m two for one deal - cran/walnut sandwich, which was a little on the dry side sadly, and the Martha's Vineyard salad which was delicious! Staff was kind and helpful in navigating the menu. Really enjoyed the meal. Will be back again!

My all time favorite breakfast place l love the ambience even some days are very crowded but the atmosphere is not in chaos. The staff are nice they serve best coffees with a lot of choices, they offer Perks, food is freshly prepared not greasy. Highly recommended

Breakfast Combo with Great Pumpkin pancakes
Tom S.

Always a great experience at Turning Point in Paramus. The service was excellent and the food was delicious. To drink, we had the Fallin for Chai and the French press coffee. Both were very good. I had the Cran Apple French Toast and my wife had the breakfast combo with Great Pumpkin pancakes. All of it was crazy delicious. We booked our table on the way, so we were seated immediately. The place has a chill atmosphere. Once again, they impressed us with everything.

THE GOOD ---------------- + Solid brunch food. Not going to blow you away with any fab creations, but it hits the spot. ++++ Tropical Bliss Smoothie and Annie's Lemonade - Both were refreshing, a little bit more watered down than we would like, but still relatively refreshing. ++++ Grande Huevos Rancheros - Not amazing, but still good. Portion was right on with a mix of 3 eggs (over medium), potatoes, chipotle peppers, chorizo, black beans, onions, cheddar jack, salsa, slices of avocado and sour cream in a GIANT wheat tortilla. Everything was tasty. The avocado slices had some black spots on them though, which meant they were going bad. ++++ Shakshuka - Same as the Rancheros, not amazing, but still solid. Nice portion of food. The 3 poached eggs sat on top of a tomato sauce ... and, well, that was pretty much it. No potatoes or any other carbs inside. It was still tasty and, if you're looking for a healthier option, this would be one. ++++ Kids Volcano French Toast - There were 2-3 slices of French Toast topped with strawberries and whipped cream. The French Toast had a cinnamon flavor to them, which was rather pleasant. Definitely would be filling for a toddler. ++++ Kids Mac 'n Cheese with Potatoes - Mac 'n Cheese was tasty and the kids gobbled it up like it was the only Mac 'n Cheese left in the world, but could they have spared some more? The portion was very sad, to say the least. + Interior of the restaurant is large, with great spacing inside and lots of tables. + Pretty standard decor for a brunch restaurant - lots of natural light, contemporary design and, most importantly, clean inside. + They have a waitlist that you can join online on their website, but it was a relatively short wait (5 min) still on a winter Sunday at 11:45 AM. + Service was decent as the food came out very quick. + There is a private parking lot that is part of the Plaza 35 shopping area. THE NOT SO GOOD ---------------------------- - As mentioned above, portion for the Kids Mac 'n Cheese could have been bigger. MIXED THOUGHTS --------------------------- = As mentioned above, food was solid, but nothing really stood out as spectacular. RANDOM OBSERVATIONS -------------------------------------- = There were a steady stream of customers going in and out throughout our meal from 11:45 - 1 on an early Sunday afternoon, but no one had to wait long. = There is a longggggg bar/table in the middle of the front dining area by the entrance and it seems like a seating area for those who would rather not wait for a booth/table. Only downside is that you do have to sit near/across from strangers if you're not into that.

- Big, open, and bright space with clean farmhouse vibes; multiple dining areas with roomy tables, booths, and communal counter seating - Very popular weekend brunch spot; already filling up when we arrived around noon on a Sunday - Easy to join the waitlist online (a must for busy days) - Nice touches while waiting: complimentary hot coffee and tea, plus free mini cups of Cheerios for kids; unfortunately, the coffee was very light and lacked bold flavor, so I passed on ordering more - Service was friendly and polite, though a bit more proactive attentiveness would have improved the experience - Food was fine but forgettable: Shakshuka (Winter Specials) had a tangy tomato sauce with some heat and not much depth, generous portion with three perfectly poached eggs, but no ciabatta as advertised--served with plain, untoasted sourdough instead; Grande Huevos Rancheros was served in a tortilla bowl that quickly turned soggy in the middle, flavors were decent, but the avocado was browning and unappetizing; Kid's Mac & Cheese with Potatoes came with a very small portion of pasta, though cooked well and was extra cheesy; Kid's Volcano French Toast with Strawberries was more generously portion, nicely cooked with a light cinnamon sweetness which helped since syrup never arrived; the blended drinks were heavy on ice and tasted watered down - Bottom line: comfortable, family-friendly space with good seating for groups, but manage expectations as the food doesn't quite live up to the hype

This place is amazing! Atmosphere is the most fancy I've seen for a diner! Food is great, everything is priced well, staff is friendly, food came out fast, everything was fresh, loads of parking

We were traveling from Nassau County, NY area to this specific location. It was truly a turning point in our breakfast decision because we also had lunch and it became a brunch before 11am lol omg the food was so scrumptious and fresh! Our server was Gracie, she was stellar with us the whole time. She really went above and beyond that we hand everything we needed during our brunch. Happy birthday to her as well! Definitely would recommend this restaurant for your breakfast and lunch , so good!

Salted caramel mocha latte, and Jamaican French press coffee.
Nadine N.

We tried a new restaurant this morning called Turning Point in Paramus, and although the menu looked good online, I wasn't sure what to expect. From the moment we walked in, it completely exceeded our expectations. The space was nice, clean, cozy, and warm. We were immediately seated in a booth in the middle of the restaurant, and our server, Bobby, couldn't have been more friendly. He was a fantastic young man with great recommendations--especially the French press coffee. I had the Jamaican French press, which was absolutely delightful. My partner ordered a caramel salted mocha iced latte, and she said it was delicious. For breakfast, she had the Rising Shine with poached eggs, Belgian waffles, and potatoes de cooked to perfection. I ordered the breakfast skillet with potatoes, cheese, eggs over easy, bacon, and an English muffin. The food came out hot and delicious, and the cheese pull on the skillet was to die for. Overall, I give this place five stars--not just for the food, but for the ambiance and the warm attention Bobby gave us. Thank you! We will definitely be back again.

Avocado Smash Benedict
Carrie G.

Came for Brunch on Saturday morning at 10 am. Unfortunately, this place does not take reservations. The wait for regular table was around 30 min at that time. And with the little ones, we didn't want to wait. But there was no wait for the high tops! So we asked for booster seats and just sat at the high tops for breakfast. The place is like a super modern diner. It was nice that coffee was unlimited and you could also take to go too. I ordered the avocado smash Benedict and it was good. But I just thought the toast was really had to cut. Possibly stale? My baby had their waffles with fruit from their kids menu which she thoroughly enjoyed. I had a taste of their pancakes and immediately wished I had ordered that instead. Will definitely be getting that next time!

Lemonberry Blue

We decided to try TPOP Saturday late lunch, around 1:30pm. Even at this odd time, they were somewhat full, we had to wait about 20 minutes to get a table. In the process we learned that the bar tables are available for anyone including kids. Next time we will just sit there to skip waiting, if seats are available. Since its a new restaurant, it has wonderful appearance. Everything looks new and clean. The menu has a variety of breakfast drinks and dishes. They have a nice kids menu as well. I started with the lemonberry blue drink. It was a good sweet citrusy drink. For entree I ordered the Nashville hot chicken benny with green salad. I liked the look of the dish. The eggs were cooked perfectly. Chicken was delicious too. But the waffles got soggy, I hoped it was little crunchy. The green was okay. Overall I felt the portion wasn't big enough. The service was good, we had a friendly server. I got $5 discount for signing up with their rewards program. Despite these minor setbacks, I think this a wonderful place to have brunch with family and friends.

Casual restaurant serving mostly breakfast menu in Paramus. It's nice clean and spacious inside. Service is good. It's first come first service. We had to wait for 15 mins. I had chicken cranberry with wrap. I requested heat/hotpress the wrap and take out the mayo. It came out cold and mayo all thru ingredients. Didn't really like it. 3 stars is based on my food. We also had kids silver dollar pancakes and chicken/waffle. Those dishes look better. If I come back, I prob will pick something else.

There were probably about ~50 people in the party. They had attentive waitstaff taking drink orders throughout, and had a set 3-course menu with different options per course. There was also an appetizer course, shared family style ahead of the 3-set menu, that included cornbread (yum!), fried cauliflower (our favorite), and falafel (not dry!). For the menu, I had: - spring green salad: substantial, tasty, healthy - scallop and shrimp: the seafood was so tender and buttery; the couscous were just okay - flourless chocolate cake: a way more complex dessert than I anticipated, in the best way. Rich cake, roasted marshmallows on top, fruit throughout, and more. I also tried a friend's French fries with steak frite sauce and - wow, the sauce was so rich and buttery but had an amazing peppery taste at the end! I completely recommend this restaurant if you're in the UWS or if you're looking to host a nice dinner event!

Outdoor seating available, but large windows, which were open last night. We were seated promptly at a window seat and Diana came by pretty quickly to take our order. You have to try their Focaccia bread. They do a little something special that makes it so crispy outside, but fluffy and buttery on the inside. My wife ordered the "The Clam Jam" (beer-braised littlenecks, Calabrian chili, house sausage and Espelette Butter). She love the dish, as did I the one clam she allowed. I ordered the Hamachi Crudo (Organic cherry ponzu, lime, jalapeño, shiro dashi, pistachio gremolata and red onion.) This is a very fancy ceviche, with cherries and all the fixins' which I would gladly order again... My wife's entrée was the Goffle Road farm half chicken (crispy fingerling potatoes, herb butter & roast chicken jus). Gotta say, they Lula's does a great job with this chicken. I stop by Goffle Road farm and the chicken is superior to pretty much anything else, but this came out with such a light crispy skin and so juicy and tender. Excellent! My entrée was the Elite Prime Grass-Fed Coulotte steak (Pomme puree, crispy sunchokes & black garlic jus.) The steak was done to perfection and the potatoes puree were so very creamy and good. No dessert tonight... just a couple cups of coffee and a little walk around Ridgewood. Busy place! Lula is a BYO!

We went there for my birthday. All the staff knew it was my birthday and they also knew that I was eight months pregnant and wanted to make sure that I was comfortable. The food was exceptional. The wait staff was so nice and provided recommendations while not pushing any one dish. We got the focaccia, softshell crab, Peking duck and chicken liver for appetizers. The softshell crab was the best I've ever had, and I would come back to this restaurant for this alone. The Peking duck was juicy and tender with the most incredible slaw type salad underneath it. The focaccia with the butter was also phenomenal, the owner actually brought it out to us and we had a nice conversation with him and you can tell he just poured his heart and soul into this restaurant. The focaccia is definitely not an appetizer to be overlooked just because it is bread. While I couldn't have any of the chicken liver mousse, it looked stunning, and my husband said that it was incredible and so light and fluffy, and it was a massive portion. I look forward to when we come back when I'm not pregnant and I can eat it. For dinner I got the Arctic char, and my husband got the pork. The Arctic char was unbelievable. It was piping hot and literally just melted in my mouth with each bite and the side that came with it was a mix of asparagus, mushrooms, farro and I don't know what else, but it was fantastic if I could have that side on its own as well, I would order more. My husband's pork was crispy and delicious with another incredible slaw topping, and it was so massive he has to take home like a third of it for dessert. We had the lemon meringue tart for dessert, which was also incredible and so refreshing for a dessert. All of the food was outrageously fresh and just outstanding. This restaurant is our new favorite place and on the way out we even made a reservation for three weeks from now to come back. This is probably the best restaurant that I've eaten at in Ridgewood hands down and I'm so glad that they are in the area. The restaurant adds a new vibe with food that is so phenomenal to match. I would highly recommend this place to anyone in the area as a MUST try. Of course me and my husband will be going back in a few weeks and we can't wait.
