Moved to the area, took a bit to get used to the open close schedule but HIGHLY recommend. Super friendly staff, can get it to go or eat in. DIEGO was our server and he was very friendly, brought everything is super quick and was wonderful. Thank you Diego! The service is VERY fast and the food and drinks are HIGH quality. Great local spot, almost a secret but not. Every time I come here, everything is fast and delicious. You would not expect it to be the way it is. This is probably the only place I can think of that has a big menu where EVERYTHING is actually good. (Usually a big menu is a red flag). Not in this case. Everything comes out picture perfect, made with care. To boot, they offer Indian food, as good as someone's grandma would make for you. My fave has always been Chana Masala and it was excellent. If you're the manager and reading this, please put the Chana Masala on a toasted sandwich, they make them in the city and they are to DIE FOR. Before thinking of going up the street to Starbucks for a bite or a drink, stop here instead, it's not going to break your wallet and the quality is far better! Will continue to come back.

This place is amazing! The food is perfectly cooked and seasoned. They provide big portions, so you will certainly take some food home. The ambiance is relaxed. The servers are all very attentive. The coffee and hot chocolate are delicious. I loved the shirts they were wearing....I attached a picture..."Friends don't let friends drink Starbucks." This was especially funny because there is a Starbucks up the street from them, haha The prices are reasonable. Despite them being so busy, the service was great. The only thing I would mention is that there is only one bathroom...for employees and all customers (male/females)...so the line could get long and delayed...based on needs...this is a cozy family owned hidden gem, regardless. Pardon our pictures of halfway eaten meals...We thought about pictures after!

I’ve been coming here since I was a kid and this place has, for 20 years, been a wonderful staple in town. The coffee is delicious and the food amazing! It’s a perfect spot to support a local established business for a coffee, a snack, or a full meal. It’s also a great place to have a brunch or lunch meet up or meeting. Anytime I’m in the area I try to make sure to stop in for at least a coffee. They’ve added lots of vegetarian options to their menu - and their home fries get a BIG special shout out. The hint of Indian flavor imparted in them is just divine. Everyone in my family (and honestly anyone who grew up eating breakfast here knows you have to get the home fries)!

The menu has a great selection of breakfast items, sandwiches, coffee, and Indian cuisine. I ordered the Seasoned Chicken Panini w/ tomatoes and a hot vanilla chai with almond milk. Panini was very flavorful, a bit too much cheese but thats personal preference; plus it comes with a side salad, chips, or fries. The chai however wasn't great, not enough spice, taste like milk with a little cinnamon in it. Other than that everyone was friendly, great service, and both the tables and bathroom were clean. This is a great spot for college students to get work done in between classes since it was quiet and they have wifi. Will be visiting again!

Great service and looks like they have wonderful brekky food. My review is entirely for coffee. Important to share, that this spot is NOT for coffee (maybe rename?. The espresso machine was visibly dirty, with the wands crusted on, but I figured I'd take a chance. The ground espresso beans were not measured, but eyeballed for a portion. Coffee was not tamped, and the espresso machine screen not flushed nor cleaned. Milk was scolding hot, espresso was burned and flavorless =/. It's a fine place, but not for coffee. Included a picture of what's supposed to be a latte (Milk burned, and foamy with air holes)

This is a wonderful find of a breakfast/ lunch/ brunch place, where we stopped for quick morning coffee, and then, had to try lunch! It's old world, and yet brightly lit with natural light -- the place George Bailey (Jimmy Stewart in "It's a Wonderful Life") would come for breakfast if he was real and alive today. The menu is familiar but with some unique twists, and the coffee is really splendid. We were fortunate that people all the way over in South Plainfield recommended it... and now, we are paying it forward. You won't be disappointed.
