    Pretty outstanding coffee shop. Right at the heart of Maplewood, this cozy breakfast coffee shop is a local gem with its dependable, flavorful offerings. Whether you're grabbing a quick bite or settling in for a leisurely meal, I find it charming. The coffee is always fresh and darkly roasted. From scrambled eggs to avocado toast, every dish is crafted with care, but one standout item is their oatmeal. It's rich, creamy, and consistently delicious, grab it with fruit and granola. Even their potatoes (coupled with eggs) are seasoned and cut extremely well. What sets this coffee shop apart is the attention to detail: they seem to focus on using high-quality ingredients. Staff are friendly and it's clear that they take pride in the food they serve, creating a consistent and enjoyable experience for customers. It can be challenging getting a table during peak hours but it's certainly worth the try!

    First time trying one of their bowls. Would not recommend. It was frozen solid and the flavor was a little off. Although, everything else on the menu that i have tried is very good.

    Such a great, neighborhood family-owned place. Lots of heart and friendliness. For vegans, there's a tofu scramble I love (just say no eggs). They make a great Americano. I really love it here. A great staple of Maplewood.

    Fast service and above average food except for their bakery items. Ordered their vegetable jalfrezi which was good, just wish it had more veggies in it like baby corn, bell peppers etc (very small naan pieces). On the other hand, the lemon loaf was a disappointment it was stale and had no flavor!

    The place was busy when I went in but I decided to get a latte and pick up one of their black and white cookies. The latte was ok but the cookie was great. The place was not bad but the prices were a little steep for the quality of food received. However, I would still go to there over the Starbucks, so in that area, not a bad place to get your espresso drink fixing.

Everything was fine but I had a weird encounter I want to share in case others have also encountered this. Upon entry, I told the lady at the receptionist desk that I was dining solo indoors. She told me they were short on staff and had to order and pay with her before seating. First time dining here and didn't know how busy it was since the dining area was on the other side of the wall. Fine... no problem. Upon sitting, I noticed there were only two other tables and most of the tables were empty. There appeared to be two male servers tending to the dining area.. Food and coffee came out in good time and the server who delivered it was friendly. After I sat and paid, I saw three other tables who came and were sat - all receiving normal table service. (I.e waiter taking orders, pay at the end.) I don't want to assume anything but would suggest the restaurant look at their practices and either exercise them across all patrons to avoid causing anyone to feel singled out... Food and coffee were good.

    I had been wanting to try Liv Breads for so long, especially after all of the amazing reviews I had…read moreread and the positive feedback I had heard from family. I finally made it there the other day and was shocked at how substantial the place was. It was no small bakery, but was a full cafe and gourmet shop as well. Though I did not try their savory sandwiches, breads, salads, or spreads at that time, I did purchase some of their sweets. First, the Chocolate Rugelach were some of the best I have had. The delicate, flaky cookies were like little croissants and were ribboned with a rich chocolate spread. Their version also had hints of vanilla, which I really enjoyed. I also got one of their large Chocolate Chip Cookies, which was thin, but packed with gooey bittersweet and semi-sweet chocolate. It also had a light sprinkling of Maldon sea salt on the top. It was super decadent! Liv Breads exceeded my expectations, and I look forward to revisiting to try many more of their items.

    I have never written a negative review before, which probably says something about how upsetting…read morethis experience was for me. My family and I have been regular customers at Liv Breads in Millburn for the past five or six years. I come here almost every day, often morning and evening, for coffee and breakfast, and my husband gets his coffee here literally every single day. We have always enjoyed the food and coffee and have spent a considerable amount of money supporting this bakery over the years. Even a regular black coffee here costs around $5 plus and when you are buying coffee and breakfast this frequently for years, you are clearly a loyal, paying customer. But what happened today genuinely hurt me. After finishing my coffee, I asked for the usual refill. The person serving me insisted that I bring back my used coffee cup before she would give me the refill. She then specifically told me that "a lot of people like you" have been asking for refills, and therefore she needed to see my cup before giving me one. If there is a new policy requiring customers to show their original cup, I have absolutely no problem with the policy. What upset me was the way it was communicated, particularly the phrase "people like you." As a brown-skinned Indian woman, I could not help but wonder what exactly "people like you" meant and whether I would have been spoken to the same way if I looked different. I am not claiming to know what was in anyone's mind, but I can say how the interaction made me feel: singled out, embarrassed and unwelcome. I have lived in the U.S. for years and cannot remember another interaction that made me feel this way. What makes it especially disappointing is that this wasn't an interaction between a business and someone who walked in for the first time. They know us. We have been coming here almost daily for years. Customer loyalty should mean something--not free coffee and not an exemption from reasonable policies, but simply being treated with familiarity, dignity and respect. The food and coffee have always been good, and that is exactly why we kept coming back for so many years. Unfortunately, after today's interaction, I walked away feeling deeply uncomfortable and no longer welcome. After five or six years of supporting this bakery, it genuinely makes me sad to say that I don't plan to return.

We went on a random Wednesday when the restaurant was about 90% empty, yet we were seated in a booth in the back where water was literally leaking from the ceiling onto the table. We asked to be moved, only to find a huge amount of trash underneath the next booth. As I looked around, I noticed napkins, crumbs, and trash all over the floors. There was absolutely no excuse for that, especially considering the restaurant was nearly empty and several staff members appeared to be standing around and goofing off. On top of that, it was ridiculously cold inside. When our food arrived, we had to rush to eat because everything got cold so quickly. We couldn't even keep our coffee warm. The manager was very nice and apologized, explaining that he tried to control the air but was unable to. He did speak to an employee, who came over and swept maybe 10% of the mess before going right back to hanging around. And unfortunately, the food wasn't good either. Nothing tasted fresh. The potatoes were undercooked, the bacon was overcooked, and trying to eat that kind of food cold made the entire experience even worse. I've given this place far too many chances. This was the final one. I will never be returning.
