Love this place! The decor and space is inviting to spend time and catch up with friends. The sandwiches from the Tosta Mista to the cold Tuna sandwich have both been tasty, the lattes rich and delicious. The Portuguese custard cups my favorite. A stones throw from the train station makes it a convenient stop.

What a vibe!!! I’m never in this part of New Jersey. But I was meeting up with a friend. And we chose a random coffee shop. In a mutual distance from us. And what a choice. The vibe, the pastries, the service. I’ll be back for sure.

This is my new favorite place for coffee and a snack. Love their Portuguese Doughnuts! As you can see from the pics, I ate it too quickly and had to go back up to take a photo at the counter. Had their BLT too and that is really nice. Just across the road from the train station so a good spot to wait for your next train.

I had one of their custard tarts and a Nutella filled donut from their stand at the Summit Farmers Market this past Sunday. The tart was delicious. But that donut! HOLY DELICIOUSNESS! Off the charts dynamite 🧨. Fluffy, soft, sugary and an appropriate amount of Nutella filling. I’m in loooove. SoCal, to me, has a lock on donuts. I have found my Cali donut hookup! Thank you

This beautiful, clean and spacious coffee/bakery café has an array of coffee beverages and glass display cases filled with Portuguese sweet and savory choices. Comfortable seating arrangements and a wonderful dining area for conversation, working on laptops, reading or people watching through the large glass wall storefront picture windows. Prices are reasonable and the family owned counter/customer service is friendly and efficient. On the street meter parking can be challenging, although if you’re getting a take-out order, take advantage of “15 minutes free“ meter parking before heading inside.

I have been coming to this place for two years. Beautiful place to sit down and work or have a chat with friends. Nice atmosphere. You can also sit outside. Very attentive staff. The coffee is delicious and, if you prefer, it can be served in a real mug. I love the crispy chicken sandwich. Highly recommended.

Very cute chic cozy coffee shop! It has such good vibes, such a convenient location. Friendly staff and PLENTY of options when it comes to baked goods (gluten free options available), cold pressed juices, drinks and food! I had the egg and cheese sandwich On a Portuguese croissant which was delicious, perfectly cheesy and fluffy eggs on a decadent slightly sweet croissant with an oat milk latte which was delish. And we also had the Brazilian panini, great options for a hot pressed sandwich which hit the spot with a pink lemonade. Check this spot out! It’s a great spot and fairly priced!
