Happend to stumble upon this place which happens to be having a grand re opening. I was on the receiving end of a great experience with some great people, food and desserts. To start, you need to have a plan when it comes to parking. There are a few spots out front, but the main parking is located behind the building. The entrance is inviting and welcoming with the inside featuring new tables and chairs. Everything is new. Now depending upon what you are looking to order, you can go right or left through the doors. You go right and you can treat yourself to an amazing layout of authentic homemade gelato. More flavors than you can imagine and it is made on site. Apparently one of the new owners went to Italy to learn how to make Gelato. The time was was well spent because the gelato was amazing. If you go to the left side of the cafe, you have seating for breakfast, lunch or dinner. I selected to have breakfast for lunch with some eggs and home fries. Now a little confusing is the ordering system, especially if you have not done it before. But you do it once and you will know for the next visit. You place your order at the front, they call your name and you pick it up at the counter. The desserts are off the charts, fresh cupcakes, pies, cakes, bars. Anything and everything to satisfy your sweet tooth. Ordered the penut butter bar and it was outstanding. If this is a sample of what is to come, Mara’s is going to do very well in Denville. Nothing better than a small business doing well on Main Street USA. Best of Luck. I will be back really soon to start sampling each dessert, one at a time. Loved this place.

I popped in here for a quick meal two weeks ago and loved it!

They have a pretty wide selection of brunch/lunch items and a massive dessert menu. I got the Western Burger (see attached pics), which came garnished with frizzled onions and bacon. It was really good and the portion was quite generous. I got my order pretty quickly.

I got the latte (see pic) after the burger and it came generously garnished with whip cream. It was a nice little treat!

The ambiance is great as well. It’s great for casual lunches, for studying, or even taking business clients out for breakfast.

I would return again.

Wanted a black and white cookie but they made them red and green for Christmas so I opted to get something else. Decided on a cannoli, which was crispy and pretty standard. Just note that they don’t call it out when you order but the ricotta filling has chocolate chips in it (not sure if they have an option without chocolate).

They have a large assortment of cakes, cookies, and other pastries. They’re attached to another restaurant that is on the right when you walk in. Parking in the back lot or in the front on the street.

The coffee was very good and the service was prompt and friendly. However, the food was a little bland. Not a terribly cozy place, but they are open for long hours. No parking in the back, only 4 parking spaces on the street.

Let me just say yum and wow! You will love all of these well decorated tasty desserts. And that’s not all, the homemade ice cream will taste great on any day, anytime! Would definitely recommend!

The Grand re-opening was great. Mara’s looks beautiful on the inside. Open area with plenty of seating, friendly staff, and great food! Who knew they did such a great dinner?

Wow cake is a little pricey but BY FAR best cake i ever had super silky and not sweet tasting which is perfect. Frosting is usually too sweet for me but this was smooth and tasty. Def would get again.

Breakfast all day my favorite. Wife had a chicken wrap with almonds, mandarin oranges, greens, and sesame dressing that was also excellent.

If you like slow service and overpriced, mediocre food, this is the place for you.

As a local resident, I like to support all my local businesses. With that being said, I cannot support Mara’s any longer. Before even moving to this lovely town, I randomly went to Mara’s on the way to the Poconos. I saw it on my gps and it had great reviews for a local bakery. Got some coffee, cookies and a few baked goods…all very delicious. I ended up moving here and was happy Mara’s was now 5mins away.

Fast forward several years later; they close up shop and I was disappointed, along with many of the residents. They ended up reopening and undergo a renovation. Gone was the old school hometown bakery, and in was the modern trendy cafe. After the grand reopening and things settled down, I went back to try the “new” Mara’s. Each time my fiancé and I have went, we felt like the food and service has always been mehhh.

It’s now 2021 and I have purchased my last item from them. While picking up dinner from the delicious El Lechon de Negron, I decide to get dessert from Mara’s. I order a slice of their chocolate chip cookie pie to go. 5 minutes pass and I could see the 2 girls behind the counter were working on the other tickets, no big deal. 10 minutes pass and I still don’t have my order. At this point, my food was starting to get cold. 15 minutes pass and another gentleman who ordered after me got his stuff before me…guess it helps to know the cashier. I ask what was taking so long, but all she could say was sorry they were backed up. Finally, after 20 minutes I get my dessert…my dinner was now cold and I still have to drive home.

I understand that things get busy from time to time, but waiting 20 minutes to get a slice of pie to go is crazy. I don’t know if they are understaffed, but waiting that long for a simple order was not worth it. To make matters worse, this wasn’t the first time I’ve experienced this slowness from them. I keep giving them chances to right their ship, but I cannot any longer. Although close to home, I’d rather go somewhere else.
