OUTDOOR DINING COVID REVIEW

Came here for outdoor dining this past weekend. And wow their protocol for keeping you safe is very concerning. Few things I noticed... just because an employee is wearing gloves doesn't mean you're safe and doesn't mean there is no cross contamination!!! These employees are touching people's plates and cups and everything and then going to other tables and touching their stuff too! Unless they are changing their gloves between every table (which I didn't see myself) then again... UNSAFE!!! Covid germs can easily spread!!! They leave salt and pepper shakers and sugar packets out on the table. Is that for real? The whole POINT of this new protocol of outdoor dining during covid is to PREVENT all possible chances of cross contamination. Why are salt and pepper shakers sitting out on the table for ppl to eat with their hands and touch. That’s unacceptable. And when we got there, our table had crumbs everywhere. Again, totally unacceptable. If you’re doing outdoor dining during covid you MUST be aware of where ppl have sat down and PROPERLY DISINFECT the table when the guests leave that table. Very simple. Disappointed in the attention to detail here at Cafe Angelique.

Suggestion; have employees who ONLY touch dirty things as they clear tables and have employees who ONLY serve clean plates utensils etc. AND properly disinfect the table! Keep all salt and pepper off the table. If a customer wants salt and pepper then shake it for them on their food until they say stop. If they need sugar packets then bring a few out at a time at a customers request. Again, THE GOAL HERE is to prevent all possible chances of cross contamination to the best of your ability. There seems to have been zero thought put into the...

I used to be a regular customer going there 3x a week for the past 1 year ordering their granola bowl... the staff has always been responsive... I always needed a small mustard cup of extra granola... and the staff had no problem with that, and I always tipped well... only recently, they charged me an extra $2 for that! Now, put it into perspective... I spent $90 a week at this place... you would think a small cup of extra granola is no big deal... (we know the cost of this is nothing)... but to nickel and dime me with this? for an extra $2, you lost my business... this cafe also charges $2 for hot water... hmmm... no one ever charges for this! so I get it.. you run a business... but really!??? $2???? I never see the owners, the staff would run if they found better jobs, and since their long-time manager left, many regular customers have left for other nearby cafes for the better energy... and vibe... they also say they open at 7 am... but that is when the staff is using bleach (not healthy) to clean the floors... take your $2... and lose your...

If you need a peaceful corner to relax and have a delicious bite, this is the best place in Tenafly. The nostalgy of the old railway station itself plays a huge role in this setting...

The menu has been cured with care, and each dish exhibits its own signature. The food is very tasty, well presented and generously portioned. The veggie omelet or quiche accompanied by the fresh mixed salads are the house's statements. Please, do not miss the iced caramel machiato topped with whipped cream, served in a country style glass jar with handle!

The staff is wonderful, quick, and ready to help at any time. The prices are more than reasonable.

I am coming here for many years...The management successfully succeeded to create that peaceful corner where you will go again and again, but still feel like it is your first time. Simply put, the customers are feeling very special...

Bonus: free big parking right in it's yard!

Unforgettable experience, and hope they will continue to stay like this over the...
