Great local spot for breakfast or lunch in the Journal Square area! It's a bit hidden as you need to turn into a smaller path to enter the restaurant which is a part of the Journal Squared building. I ordered the Chicken Salad Sandwich ($14) - it was surprisingly big with a generous amount of tasty shredded chicken with currants and seasoning mixed in along with a couple large veggie leaves on a brioche bun: simple yet fresh and tasty. I think was a good value for the price considering the amount of chicken. The only thing that would really elevate this to a full 5 stars would be to add a little something on the side to complement the sandwich. The cafe has a really nice chill vibe with a decent amount of seating. The staff are super friendly, attentive, and helpful - they really make you feel the local hospitality. Overall, I am very tempted to give Whealth Kitchen 5 stars for the tasty and fresh food plus friendly service. If they had just added a bit more to the sandwich / on the side to make it truly exceptional, it would've gotten there. Nevertheless, it is a solid 4.5 stars in my book and a great option for a tasty and healthy yet quick/casual breakfast/lunch. read more

I stopped by Whealth Kitchen for lunch, and what a fantastic find. I really love their mission of using local foods - everything tasted incredibly fresh and high-quality. I went with the daily special, a chicken stew served over rice, which was the definition of comfort food. It was warm, flavorful, and hit the spot perfectly on a cold, snowy afternoon. I also couldn't resist grabbing a chocolate chip cookie, which was equally delicious. Even though the location is a little bit out of the way for me, the quality of the meal makes it worth the trip. I would definitely eat here again anytime I'm in the area and looking for a fresh, wholesome meal. read more

With all the growing businesses in JSQ area Whealth continues to be my go to lunch spot. It's nestled away from all the hustle and bustle. The food is always fresh and tasty. The farm to table approach makes for a healthy meal that tastes home cooked. My favorites to get are the soups and the salads. I recently had a grass fed beef chili was was so good. What I enjoy about this place is the friendly vibes and how the food does not taste processed or overly salted. Love the staff and everything about the place. My only suggestion is to bring back the bbq chicken. read more

I haven't written a review on yelp in a while. Probably because I've been lazy to be honest. So I've stumbled upon this food place because I was working onsite. On my lunch break I went to go check this place out. In the reviews it said that it was difficult to find which I actually had a bit trouble finding until I had to ask someone who kindly pointed it out. Once I found it, I was so excited to try it out. I love eating healthy so all the food items on the menu looked very tasty and of course healthy! Their food is also locally sourced!. The ambiance of the place was very nice, I can see myself coming here everyday to do work and staying for hours because they serve breakfast and lunch. They have a large menu of coffee options which includes flat whites (my favorite). Now for the best part, the food. I ordered the farm plate with chicken which included local greens, chilled quinoa, chicken and green sauce. I really loved it! The chicken was cooked right imo, it was well seasoned and cooked to the point where it's not dry. The veggies were good especially when I added the sauce. The quinoa tasted refreshing! I also ordered a 12oz black Sumatra drip coffee which I also really liked! It's my bedtime right now I usually sleep at 9 lol but I felt the need to go out my way tonight and make this review because I loved the food! Also, there's an Asian food market next to this place which I loved as well. I definitely recommend this food spot to anyone around the area! read more

An elusive hidden gem farm to table restaurant that prides itself on organic ingredients, sourced from its farm in Jersey and what can't be brought in from other reliable organic sources.

Owners super chill & friendly, the attendant lady was kind & answered my curiosity questions lol and the space is super kewllll Would lalaaaave to go back for a meal & stock up on those GF BROWNIES!! read more

I only tried the smoothie here but unfortunately I cannot vouch for it. I got the berry blast smoothie pictured here, and the ingredients were listed as fruit and yogurt. However it was not sweet at all, in the way you would expect fruit to be naturally a little bit sweet. I really do not know how to describe the taste other than it did not taste like a smoothie. Another friend also tried it and agreed that it tasted extremely off. I am definitely open to trying their other products when I am back in the area! It looked like they had a good gluten free selection. read more

I am so grateful to have this spot so close to my apartment. Just picked up a GF apple cardamom muffin this morning and it was still hot and fresh out of the oven??? Incredible. All of the baked goods I've tried have been great. The scones are a particular standout since they're fluffy, soft, and unlike most scones you stumble upon in coffee shops. I can't vouch for their meal delivery service but I've never been disappointed with any of the goodies I've picked up in person. Seriously, check these guys out! Especially if you have any dietary restrictions. You won't regret it. read more

Really lovely little spot for lunch or a quick bite. I'm not a chicken salad fan, but reading the menu over it just spoke to me. And I'm incredibly happy with my decision. The bun is light yet crispy, the chicken is paired with all the right flavors and there's not too much creaminess (that's always my biggest fear). Most important is the lovely staff. The gentleman who checked me rung me up was quick and efficient while still walking me through their rewards program. The same guy brought the sandwich out when it was ready and was very concerned with whether I had the right silverware, napkins and a water. When I finished there was already somebody coming by the clear the dishes. I was expecting a completely self service experience and they went above and beyond. read more

This place rocks. Everyone was so nice, the menu was unique but had everything you're looking for, and the food was delicious. Seems like a socially conscious, solid spot for lunch with a really friendly staff and a caring chef/owner. A little on the pricier end, but you can tell was quality ingredients and what isn't pricey these days. I had the very filling cheesesteak, which was a creative take on a classic. Next time I'm in the area will be my go-to spot for Lunch. read more

This place is hard to find. They almost don't want you to find the spot that is how hidden it is and there is no sign from the street. I'm sure the locals know about it though since it seemed like they were getting a few orders. They have a small menu with some lunch specials. The bbq chicken special with a few veggies and sides was my go to. It also seems like they are going the healthier route here. People love eating healthy these days. They also have peanut butter energy balls and protein brownies. It is one of those places that have their core regulars that I am sure love it. This wouldn't be a weekly place for me but it does do the trick. Try it out! read more

Lady at the cash register with the round glasses was pretty rude. Maybe she was having a bad day? I was in Journal sq meeting a client and this seemed like the only nutritious option in the area. I ordered the soup and It may be the worst soup i've ever had. It was 70% onions, carrots, chicken and I think water because it doesn't taste like broth. It didn't seem to have any spices at all. I threw it out. Not quite sure why they would offer something with so much onion in a corporate area. read more

My husband and I went to Whealth today. We were pleasantly surprised by how friendly the owner was. He immediately welcomed us and started a friendly conversation. We ordered breakfast sandwiches were delicious, the cold brew was strong just line we like it and the cookies and brownies we got were amazing. We'll definitely be back! The only downside, the lighting! We initially thought they were closed and almost walked away until my husband tried the door! read more

I've never been to Whealth Kitchen, but I tried the Matcha Almond scone from a local coffee shop. I was intrigued to find something that was dairy-free, gluten-free and Vegan. For $5.00, the scone was massive, basically the size of a small plate. It had crispy edges, but still remained fluffy on the inside. The matcha flavor was distinct and the touch of icing on top added just the right amount of sweetness. If I hadn't been stuffed from the night before, I would have totally inhaled this scone in one go. It was one of the softest scones I've ever had - if only they delivered to coffee shops near me! read more

Soooo good. Really worth it, stop in if you like fresh, healthy and tasty food Affordable too.

The only spot where I am daily. Perfect start into the day, located on the PATH Station. The pricing is more than reasonable considering the quality of the food, the clean, open kitchen and the ecological supplychainmanagement. The staff is friendly and remember not just your name but you as a person. I feel valued here, both as a very demanding customer and as a friend of the family. The Menu contains the must-haves for a breakfast aswell as changing daily specials and sweet, homemade treats. The music is varying depending on who is in charge. Although it is vivid and changing therefore, it is never too loud, inappropiate or too hipster. In fact they have a very good music taste imho. Get yourself in there and get to know the team and the place. It is a welcomed alternative to the unpersonal chains, both in food & drink quality and in staff & ambiance. read more

I ordered Whealth from UberEats. I had WHEALTH BOWL ​- LOCAL FREE RANGE CHICKEN - ROASTED VEGGIES - APPLE/CUCUMBER RELISH - SUNFLOWER, LIME CHIMICHURRI OVER RICE AND GREENS. I would highly recommend this dish and Whealth in general. The one thing I was most skeptical about was the apple that came with it, but it was honestly perfectly paired. I also love the root vegetables they included; both give a great little kick of flavor to the bowl! What I like most is that it's very minimal in sorts, meaning limited "add-on" sauces/ spices / ingredients. It's exactly what you need to enjoy a nice healthy meal. Also see the cute note they put in my bag ! read more

Have been to Whealth a few times since my first visit & my experiences have been pleasant. It's been a perfect place to grab a cold brew and a bite after getting out or before getting on the Path (they are right next to JSQ path!) I haven't tried any of the food yet but the cold brew is darkly toasted (local coffee: Kobrick) and the pastries are fresh & soft which compliments the cold brew well. I'm not sure where the pastries are from, I don't think they make them in-house. David, the owner of Whealth, is passionate about farm to table style food and even has a farm box program offering boxes of farm fresh produce to those in the community at a super affordable price. The produce hails from the farm Whealth personally gets all their produce from, its seasonal and fresh! It's great to feel good about what you're eating. I'm still planning a time to go check out their dinner service! read more

I had jury duty nearby, and immediately took to Yelp to find a perfect spot for a solo lunch in a neighborhood I wasn't familiar with. Yelp did it again, finding me a cozy, relaxing place to enjoy my break with delicious, health conscious food. Whealth was about a 5 minute walk from the court house, and I knew where to make a left turn thanks to a chalkboard with WHEALTH and an arrow pointing to its location. Upon entering, I received a friendly greeting and was told about the special chili of the day. I ordered the Whealth Bowl, which has chicken, kale, beets, carrots and cucumbers. All of the ingredients were SO FRESH and so well prepared - I really don't care for carrots, but I ate every single carrot on my plate. The iced latte I ordered was also tasty. The decor, plates and glasses had a rustic, old farmhouse vibe and were all so well curated. All in all, a great experience. Was so pleasantly surprised to enjoy a delicious, wholesome lunch and a zen vibes in the middle of Journal Square. read more

Such a quaint little space! Great for studying, with natural lighting, WiFi, seating and accessible outlets. I got a bagel, which was large, crusty with a generous amount of cream cheese, as well as their self-serve drip (although they have almond milk :-)). read more

After writing my review, Dave, the owner and chef of Whealth, quickly contacted me and provided excellent customer service along with an offer to stop in for the seated dinner service for my husband and I. We went last night and sat at the "chef's table". It is so clear Dave is a master of his craft. From the appetizers to main course and dessert, everything we had was tasty and detailed. My favorites included: the coconut sticky balls which had a nice crunch paired with delicious curry for dunking, and the "veg head" with eggplant and chickpeas. Creative dinner menu, great presentation and especially friendly service. Dave is a great host and my husband and I enjoyed talking with him. We will be back for dinner and will recommend to friends. Dave, thanks again for a wonderful dinner. You are an example of a great business owner and it shows in all the details. read more

Food nourishes your body, connection nourishes the soul. Chef David Trotta has expanded his homey, healthy Whealth cafe to a gorgeous new space in Journal Square. Pro-tip: come for the healthy, quick lunch, stay for the vibes and hospitality. Decor - think lots of wood, fresh flowers in mason jars, and white/gray tones. Modern and cozy with soft lighting. The bathroom is decorated with frames of vintage seed packets (too cute). Freshly roasted vegetables are ambrosial. Roasted carrots that I tried were some of the of the best I have ever had. Soft and perfectly caramelized carrot sweetness. Same treatment to the roasted potatoes, with a nice bite. The spaghetti squash with arugula pesto and pumpkin seeds is the perfect fall dish - loved this one! Carnival pumpkin served in big chunks so they were creamy inside with a nutty flavor. Heritage pork is seasoned simply with a concentrated pork flavor. Poached pear, served with made in house ginger ice cream, was soft enough to be eaten with a spoon. I appreciated the order the dishes were served in, definitely a crescendo of lighter to heavier flavors, crowned with a palate cleansing gingery ice cream. Planing to stop in one AM for an almond milk latte, will review that once I try. Worth a visit if you are in the area looking for lunch or breakfast. Worth a special visit if you want to make a night checking out Journal Square. Friday night dinners are held every so often, and attract a great group. It's an intimate experience where David makes a point to come out and greet his guests. The food is served family style in small plates which is totally casual, perfect for a relaxed night out with friends, new and old. David has created more than a cafe - Whealth is a place I plan to frequent for both its' food and community feel. read more

If you follow me on Yelp, then you know I am a huge fan of the original Whealth & Co at Harborside. I'd go there a couple times a week to grab healthy grain bowls, try their new specials, and occasionally grab a scone or two or three. The food is great, the positive vibes amazing. So when I was graciously invited to the soft opening of Whealth Cafe, their second location just downstairs from Journal Squared in Journal Square, I said "YES!!" without hesitation. I even took the hubs, who generally does not eat vegetables, and he cleaned his plate! The vibe of the new place has the same rustic, farmhouse, cozy atmosphere. From the menu, it looks like they serve the same kind of menu as the original Whealth and Co during the day and 3 nights a week, Friday, Saturday, and Sunday, they do a supper club like dinner with fresh ingredients that David, the owner, picks at local farms that week. My faves from last week were: Grilled cheese sandwich bites with roasted carrots, goat cheese, and honey ( yummy! ) Fresh heirloom tomato simply dressed to bring out the deliciousness in balsamic sea salt Squash ribbons with proscuitto in the most delicious citrus and oil dressing ( nom nom nom) Creamy polenta with roasted corn and crispy chorizo on top.. ( OMG this is good. The creaminess of the polenta with the crispyness of the chorizo, was a texture match made in heaven) Peachy Keen dessert - drunken honey cake on a roasted peach with creme fraiche and black sesame.. so, so good. I left feeling full, satisfied, and happy. Dinner service is a great idea. This is a good place for a casual date or group dinner with your closest friends. There is definitely a comfy, warm vibe here, and the food is really good. read more

David Trotta brings his Whealth concept from Harborside into dinner service at a new Journal Square location, offering a local farm to table dinner service for $45/head. My wife and I have been there twice already, and the takeaway of this review is that the food is just delightfully simple and well prepared, without any pre-tense of ultra rare ingredients or fancy avant garde techniques. David's team is super chill and friendly. The staff is attentive but not intrusive - they really allow you to enjoy your meal with your significant other or with your friends and family at a pace that is not rushed or manufactured. It's not an experience where you come in and feel forced to eat and get out. Highly encourage everyone to give it a try. If my words can't convey the love Whealth and Co put into their food, hopefully my photos can. read more

Thanks so much Dave for being such a sweetheart! I'm so happy I found this hidden gem and no longer have to force myself to eat from chain restaurants to get breakfast. The mocha espresso was amazing and I even had a heart design on it. Details matter : ) I also ordered "the Annie " sandwich which consisted of egg whites, turkey sausage, and avocado, on gluten free bread. Very savory and flavorful! I will definitely be returning with try the rest of he menu.

I had the Bacon Egg and Cheese on a Croissant. So used to the quick deli spots in the city I was really expecting everything mushed, wrapped in foil and cut through, but was very delighted to find the croissant was fluffy NOT flattened. Turns out it's from Balthasar in the city. Also they were happy to add Sriracha on it. I'll definitely come back here it's the best place to chill and draw or WFH. Excellent place to relax and feels like home. Don't forget to pay before leaving though. #Guilty (but i rushed back as soon as I remembered) read more

Stopped into this place for lunch when I had jury duty. It was a mostly terrible day sitting in the court house. However the lunch I had here was incredible and really cheered me up.

Oh its so nice to have a place like this so nearby! I had the beet Rueben and lemon cauliflower soup. Also ordered the special bowl of brown rice, beef, slaw with carrots and apples? with a bbq sauce on top. The Reuben was the tastiest! The soup was good and in a large full bowl, but would be better in a smaller portion, like a cup. The beef special was good but not lip smacking delicious. Clean. Pure food. I will admit we had them change it bc the original special had Siracha sauce and my guest didn't want anything spicy. So perhaps the original was more tasty. Overall, the tables and ambience is on point! I will be back. I love tables with benches. Wifi was good. Oh I got a gluten free brownie to go. Chewy. Good. Matcha Green Tea scone was HUGE and delicious. Choc Chip cookies sadly smelled like plastic??? I don't know it seemed strange. I think its a fluke. read more

Cozy and convenience coffee shop right at JSQ.. Coffee was pretty good. Prices are reasonable: $4 for cappuccino / $6.5 for a BEC sandwich. My only complaint is the lack of light. It feels very dark inside but maybe that is due to all the construction around and once that's over (next year?) there will be more light? It can be a bit stuffy too. Either way, support local businesses! come here before Starbucks on the plaza. read more

Whenever I'm in journal square I make a point to stop in. The coffee is good and they have a ton of non dairy milks including my beloved oat milk, which I appreciate.
