We almost arrived a few minutes late and they will not extend your reservation FYI but definitely recommend making a reservation if possible the wait is LONG. I got a maple latte and it was good but the ladies who got the smores lattes were really impressed! I got the mushroom omelette and side salad and they were both AMAZING! everyone loved their food and drinks. Service was great and inside was gorgeous but a bit crowded.

Absolutely loved this spot. The aesthetics of the place are beautiful, warm, inviting, and thoughtfully designed. On top of that, the customer service was outstanding, which always makes the experience even better. We ordered the French Toast Bites, Breakfast Burger, Black Garlic Burger, and the Ranchero Scramble, and everything was delicious. The flavors were on point, portions were generous, and everything came out fresh and well prepared. The Black Garlic Burger was a standout, but honestly, there wasn't a single miss. Portions were generous, flavors were on point, and everything came out hot and well-prepared. Definitely a spot we'll be coming back to. 10/10 !!!!

Frittata
Marta F.

Came her for brunch! Place is located in a corner of a busy street downtown. They have parking in the back of the restaurant. Cute decor with a couple of lighted trees in the middle of the restaurant. We had reservations so we were seated right away. We started with two apps mini brioche French toast and the Frittata bites! Both were outstanding the frittatas came with a side sauce that was amazing! We shared a couple of entrees and stuck with lunch. Spinach and Squash Salad, Goddess chicken sandwich grilled with a tomato bisque, and So-Cal grilled chicken. All were perfectly cooked what stood out was the tomato bisque soup creamy, rich and just the right amount of sweetness. By the way place is BYOB! I will be back!

Very cute place, great drink options and hard to choose between breakfast and lunch with so many food options. Server was very nice and managed our large group well. We started with the French toast bites and lemon ricotta bites, I liked the French toast bites way more than the lemon ones.

Turkey Panini with Ciabatta

Festive Vibe, Fantastic Food, and Friendly Service! Willow & Whisk is an absolute gem nestled in the rustic Short Hills downtown. From the moment we walked in, the interior impressed us--it's festive, beautifully decorated, and creates such an amazing, positive vibe. Tip: Best to have a reservation for your meal. Our experience was elevated by our waitress, who was genuinely friendly and incredibly nice, making our entire family feel welcome. The food was uniformly excellent. We started with the Greek Yogurt Bowl (granola and berries) which was perfectly yummy and fresh. We also ordered the Shishito Peppers (my sister grabbed them quick!), which were nice and served with a zesty dip and a slice of lemon. Here's what everyone loved for their main dishes: * My Daughter's Pick: The So-Cal Breakfast Bowl was a huge hit! It came piled high with breakfast potatoes, black beans, pico de gallo, sharp Wisconsin cheddar, and a sunny-side up egg, all finished with a roasted tomato aioli. She raved about it. * My Son's Choice: He kept it classic with the Willow Burger and a side of fresh fruit, and gave it two thumbs up. * My Wife's Dish: She thoroughly enjoyed her Turkey Panini Sandwich on ciabatta bread with a side house salad. The sandwich was sophisticated, featuring sliced roasted turkey, Asian pear, fontina, arugula, and a subtle strawberry-balsamic glaze--a perfect mix of savory and sweet. * My Meal: I went for the Black Garlic Burger (bacon-onion jam, arugula, manchego cheese, black garlic aioli, brioche bun). It was incredibly juicy and flavorful--definitely a standout burger! For drinks, the Maple Harvest Latte (flavored with cardamom) was warm, unique, and truly nice. We highly recommend Willow & Whisk for anyone looking for a wonderful, high-quality family meal in a beautiful setting. We can't wait to go back!

Rancheros scrambled
Kiran Y.

Relatively new restaurant opened in the heart of Millburn Great service Great food and a wide selection of cocktails and mocktails We went here for brunch on a weekday. It's really tough to get a weekend reservation. On the weekday itself, it was pretty crowded. Almost all the tables were full. We tried an omelette, rancheros scrambled , egg brunch burger and a few sides So would suggest to reserve in advance and there is also a lot of parking available

SoCal Breakfast Bowl
Kristin F.

First time visiting Willow and Whisk and it definitely didn't disappoint! The interior decor is beautiful and contemporary, showcasing a faux willow tree of lights in the center of the restaurant. W&W's menu offers brunch and lunch options with a variety of specialty mocktails, coffee and lattes, and juices. They also serve alcohol as well! What we ordered: Masala Chai Latte (personal rating: 7/10) So-Cal breakfast bowl (8/10) Lem-Berry Spritzer (6/10) Strawberry Compote French Toast (8/10) We really enjoyed our brunch overall and would love to come back! Service was great and food came out fairly quick. Highly recommend booking a reservation ahead of time because it gets pretty packed! We went on a Saturday morning at 9am and it was packed!

Cinnamon swirl pancakes
Molly F.

Fantastic brunch spot located in the heart of Millburn. They take reservations but also set aside tables for walk ins as well. I went around 12pm on a Saturday with no reservation. I was told the wait was an hour, but it was much less than that. Highly recommend getting the Cinnamon Swirl Pancakes to start for the table. I had the Turkey Club sandwich as my meal and it was fresh, crisp and delicious. My friend got the breakfast bowl and was raving about it as well.

Fries
Madaline C.

Such a cute brunch spot! It's sometimes tricky to get a reservation (though apparently 70% is walk-ins), and even on a Friday morning it was a little busy, but totally worth it. Everything we ordered was delicious, and the menu has so many options. The inside is super adorable, and service was fast and reliable. They don't do bottomless mimosas, but the pitchers are perfect. Honestly a great spot for a casual catch up w friends!

Breakfast Classic
Ana N.

As soon as you walk in you're greeted by beautiful light up trees! The food was outstanding! Service was polite and the food came out quickly! There was a wait time so I recommend making a reservation. It's BYOB and they sell mixers, but they also sell drinks if you don't bring your own.

Arnold Palmer and Bloody Mary
Lauren N.

Willow & Whisk in Millburn is just as stunning as their Wyckoff location, with a similar ambiance and beautiful, bright interior. We went during lunchtime on a Friday and it was packed, but we were able to grab the last seats at the bar. The food was so good! My husband and I shared a bowl of potato leek soup- perfect for a chilly day. He ordered the crispy shallot burger with sweet potato fries and I went with the BLT. Both were so tasty. I loved the combo of the perfectly cooked bacon with the aioli and rosemary focaccia. For drinks, we went with an Arnold Palmer and Bloody Mary (mocktail)- the latter having just the right amount of zing to it. Willow & Whisk is the perfect brunch spot. I'm looking forward to our next visit already!

Kat C.

Best BYOB brunch spot in Millburn. Super spacious and pretty dining room with friendly staff. The food is quite delicious and a very nice variety on the menu. The vibe is super energetic and you can enjoy your table as long as you need (within reason). Definitely a great new addition to Millburn downtown.

Parking onsite. Great food. Clean inside. Initially went to wyckoff location and since discovering theres one closer I've been coming to this location ever since. I always get the same thing. It's been consistent

Finally got to experience this place after hearing of it for more than 2+ years! I've heard at…read moretimes this Coffee spot can be pretty packed, so I feel like I came on a really good day. First off: Service. I told the employee that this was my first time there, and they were more-than-happy to help me make a decision for my order. Patient and walked me through. Second: The Food. Let's get into it. 1) Cassava Latte ($7.50) - I was so pleasantly suprised at this drink; described as "(i)nspired by the Filipino dessert cake, made with condensed milk and coconut." The first sip, and I was intrigued! It was perfectly sweet, and the perfect mix of that coconut-dessert taste that cassava typically delivers! It tasted genuine, if that's possible. 2) Sinigang Croquette ($5.00) - This was interesting. Described as "Pork and Gabi (taro) shaped into a patty, rolled in Japanese bread crumbs, and deep fried. Served with our in-house sawsawan (dipping sauce)", it hit all the right notes. To be honest? $5.00 for 1 felt a bit steep. I'd pay $7.50 for two, though! 3) Boy Bawang Shio Pan ($7.50) - This was the most curious of all my purchases. Described as an "(i)n-house salt bread rolled in garlic and corn crumbs, filled with roasted garlic butter, topped with corn cheese whip. Inspired by the popular Filipino snack: Boy Bawang. THIS ITEM I SING ITS PRAISES. I am an absolute lover of the Boy Bawang Garlic Flavor Corn Snack --- much more pungent than anything Corn Nuts could ever offer. This Shio Pan absolutely delivered with its roasted garlic flavor! And as soon as you take a few bites ---- you get hit with that roasted garlic butter --- and let me tell you, they are not shy about their filling! Absolute master class --- but it's only for a limited run. You should definitely try! Third: Ambiance - The Cafe is quaint --- and has a seating area that could maybe fit between 18-24 people? It's just along the side of the business, but I managed to get a table for myself. Ayala, you did not disappoint! Can't wait to try your Sisig Flatbread for the next round!

I came into this place with very high expectations because it was ranked globally on beli. It was…read moregood, but it did miss a bit. First the good: The food was good! I had the sisig flatbread and the pork croquette. The sisig flatbread had very unique and complex flavors. I thought it was very creative. The croquette was fresh and tasty, but it was truly the sauce that came with it that was the star of the show. It bold and vinegary and tasted great with the sisig flat bread as well. I tried a bit of my friend's pandan waffle and it was quite tasty! I could really taste the pandan. Now the bad. The ube latte was mediocre. I asked for mine with matcha, but I really couldn't even taste the matcha. I think next time I might try their other drinks to see if there is a difference. However, I was really expecting better. Overall: I'd say the food is better than the drinks, which is a bit of a disappointment because I was hoping for both to be out of this world. The service was good and the staff was very kind. I also enjoyed the vibe of the restaurant as well.

Had no…read moreexpectations because, like I said, it was cold, they were the closest place to take shelter and I saw a coffee bar. 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.

Whenever I'm in Maplewood, I always stop into Perch Home. It's a quaint Cafe surrounded by…read morebeautiful merchandise (jewelry, apparel, home decor), historical furniture, and very good coffee. 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.

Once you bite into it, the chicken isn't mushy at all -- you can actually see the fibers, and it's very juicy and tender. The seasoning is well done and not overly salty. I went with their house sauce, which has a slightly pickled chili vibe -- mildly sour, a bit spicy, and with a unique aroma that's hard to describe but really enjoyable. The fried chicken burger was also impressive -- definitely shows some skill in execution. One unexpected highlight was the cornbread. I usually don't enjoy cinnamon-flavored desserts, but this one grew on me quickly. The texture was excellent, and it ended up being a pleasant surprise.

Everything is is absolutely delicious. Never leave without a kale salad and a adobo.
