What a wonderful spot in the Township of Union. At first I thought it was a pizza shop but to my utmost surprise it's a wonderful Cafe. The ambiance is serene inviting and quite relaxing. The positive plaques and vibes along with the positive energy of the staff makes you feel so welcomed. Sarai is absolutely amazing wonderful and just a star in excellent and awesome customer care. Jose what can I say he is just absolutely awesome. His customer care is over the top. And then Philomena while on her day off greeted us with so much love, it made you feel at home and part of the VITORIA family. Hey wait a minute I am..i even enjoyed a great game of tic tac toe. This is my new happy place. I will definitely be back oh and the coffee, my breakfast sandwich and cinnamon swirl cake was the best!

Nova is a breath of fresh air! The place is spotless and everything is beyond appetizing. I love the vibe when you walk inside. It’s hard to believe that you are not in some tropical vacation destination. Everyone is friendly and the food is extraordinarily delicious. Lucia treated me like a member of the family. I highly recommend this place and cannot wait to get back and explore the menu. I had an omelette with spinach, mushrooms, and cheese. It comes with your choice of starch and I picked home fries. You also get a side order of toast. The coffee is amongst the best I have ever had. This place is top notch. Go to Nova’s today! You will love it! God Bless America! God Bless Blue & Gold! Remember Everyone Deployed Everyday!

The place looks great. My wife and I had high expectations going in because of the reviews and how the place looked. I ordered an oat milk cappuccino and eggs benedict and she ordered an iced coffee with some half and half and an omelette with spinach and mushrooms The coffee was tough. Iced coffee looked like a glass of milk and tasted like water and milk with a slight hint of coffee. The cappuccino ratio was way off. It was two shots of espresso with what had to be nearly two cups of oat milk. No froth/foam and super liquidy. Just way too much milk. Couldn't even taste the espresso The eggs benedict was not cooked all the way through. English muffins were seemingly untoasted and the eggs were not poached nearly enough. I cut the eggs open on the English muffin and they legitimately disappeared into a mixture of hollandaise sauce, yolk, runny whites from the uncooked egg and water. The potatoes were somehow worse. They deep fried potato slices, but they were mush and tasted like a mouthful of oil from the fryer. The omelette was not great either, unfortunately. It clearly came off a dirty flattop, had no flavor and I'm pretty sure they used canned mushrooms that were definitely not sauteed before put in the omelette. It was just not great. I really hope the place improves because it's a cozy little spot in a nice location

CAUTION⚠️ My boyfriend & I got food poisoning from this place back a month ago in March as you see in the pictures attached. We ordered two SEPARATE food items and we both managed to go through the excruciating pain of food positioning. We both missed out of work and I thought by having a polite phone conversation with them that they might handle the situation. One of the girls on the phone told me that the owner doesn’t speak English so I wouldn’t be able to speak to her directly. Nothing was handled. I also asked them to kindly check their kitchen to see what needs to be thrown out as a courtesy for other customers to not go through this. I was never reimbursed, like I was asked on the phone. They never called to handle the situation other than to ask what time did I come. Because I’m not the type of person to go after people maliciously, I told them I wouldn’t write a review, sue them or contact a lawyer or have them pay medical expenses. Instead, I only called them and gave them time. Now a month later, I figured I’d write a review being that they never gave me a reimbursement or tried to fix the situation. I love small businesses, especially when they’re immigrant owned. But it’s unfortunate that they didn’t think twice to even acknowledge what they have done, considering we were supportive paying customers.

Cute little cafe with decent seating, free wifi, and an extensive food/beverage menu with reasonable pricing. Great option for working remotely, but it gets a little loud so it's better for days without meetings; however, the wifi was able to handle video calls with no lagging. Definitely recommend the avocado toast with egg; very filling and because the bread was super thick. Recommend the Portuguese croissant as well; it's a more dense and sweet version of a regular croissant that's tastes great on its own, but it would also make a good bread option for any of the sandwiches on the menu. Service was amazing -- 11/10 lol

I recently found this new cafe which I really liked. It was super modern and clean looking inside and had a patio space as well as tables inside. The menu had several options from bakery items, sandwiches, brunch, to several choice of latte flavors. The staff was extremely friendly and helpful. I got the hazelnut latte, french toast and tosta mista to share. My only recommendation would be to make the toast mista with white cheese such as provolone instead of the yellow cheese. (As the traditional tosta mista). The food was really good and I will definitely be back.
