Cafe August — Restaurant in Palisades Park

There are pasta places—and then there’s this Korean American pasta spot. IYKYK.

The menu is thoughtful and confident. Take the spicy rose pasta: creamy, spicy, perfectly balanced with that slow-build heat that keeps you going back for more. Every sauce is layered, never heavy, and the garnishes? Nothing’s just for show.

They’ve even got corn bings—the only one you’ll find around here.

The space is cozy-modern, like a neighborhood gem you almost don’t want to share. It’s family-run, and you can feel the love in the service and in every dish.

If you’re Korean American, this food hits in a way that feels personal. If you’re not, you’ll still leave wondering why more places don’t cook with this much soul. Total comfort...

For dessert, we tried the Injeolmi Bingsu and Corn Bingsu… and ended up ordering another Corn Bingsu because it was just that good! If you're on a diet, beware — everything is way too...
