    This was the best brunch spot I’ve been to. The service was exceptional, and the ambiance delightful. Kudos to the chef for the amazing Shakshouka and paratha with poached eggs. Our server was engaging and made us feel at home. Even my picky-eater sister loved the pancake! Overall, a memorable experience.

    There was a bit of a wait on a Sunday morning. But never fear, there was a bar/coffee shop area next store where you could wait for your table. The food was great. The portions were more than generous. The service was friendly. The vibes were high.

    Even though the restaurant was packed, the staff handled everything perfectly. The servers were kind, attentive, and thoughtful — they quickly replaced a fork and bread we dropped, and even asked if we wanted a to-go cup for our tea. The food was delicious and worth the wait. We left full, happy, and impressed!

    Food was bland. Like, no salt bland. Not to mention both the indoor and outdoor dining environment can only be described as hostile. We got an NJ Farmer ($24) with eggs, sausage and hashbrown. The hashbrown tasted like boiled potatos, there was not even a hint of flavor or salt. My boyfriend had to add a whole bottle of green hot sauce and ketchup to compensate for the lack of flavor. The Shakshuka ($21) with sourdough was edible because it at least had some spices to it. But half the Shakshuka was filled with Grit and also came with a side of Grit that tasted like bland congee that had been left out overnight. We were first seated at the counter right next to the kitchen, but I could not stand the smell of oil and smoke. Also, the lack of ventilation and aircon was suffocating. We requested to move to a different table and were seated outdoors, but we were instead baked outdoors by the blinding sun. Our table had no umbrella and we sat in the 90 degree heat and sun for 30 mins eating our bland hashbrowns and grit. It was an authentic NJ farmer’s experience. The only decent thing about the restaurant was the server. He was kind enough to check up on us and apologized for the seating environment and the food. I don’t get why it got such high praise from ratings and reviews.

    My dad has been in the U.S. for 38 years and he says, “This is the best breakfast I’ve ever had!” The food here is phenomenal and the service is even better. Shakshuka is one of my favorite foods and I was skeptical about this version containing grits, but it was EXCELLENT. Will definitely be back! ❤️
