We are in NJ for a wedding this weekend and had the most incredible breakfast this morning at The Order. We got there a little after 8 AM and enjoyed some coffee and pastries. We started with a cappuccino and an Americano and my husband had a flaky buttery croissant, which he loved. I had a mini almond croissant and one of their homemade biscuits. The croissant was very good, but the biscuit was amazing! Would highly recommend trying one.
Then we enjoyed a delicious breakfast at 9 am when the kitchen opened. Loved the atmosphere, very cool vibe! The owners were so friendly and the food was absolutely delicious. Would highly recommend this cafe!

This is my absolute favorite brunch spot. It is family-owned, the atmosphere is adorable, and the service is consistently impeccable. The owner is such a kind and welcoming woman, and her children help run the café. Her son makes the coffee drinks, and her daughter bakes the pastries, which creates a beautifully curated and heartfelt menu.
My go-to order is The Harry, paired with a hot white mocha. The sandwich includes chicken, bacon, onion, tomato, and lettuce, and I always get the fries on the side with garlic aioli. It is the perfect combination, and I truly dream about that sandwich. The white mocha also comes with a beautiful Indian cookie that you can purchase separately, which is such a lovely bonus.
I have also tried the chicken masala, which was delicious, although I always end up returning to The Harry because it is simply perfection. Highly recommend this place to anyone who appreciates great food made with care.

This place was so so good! Came here with friends on a trip to NJ and it did not disappoint. It was busy when we got there and there was a bit of a wait but it was worth it.
The restaurant is very cute a bit small. The staff were friendly and nice. The food is so delicious. We had gotten their fried chicken sandwich and lattes, yes a strange sounding combination but it was brunch time when we came. The fries were so good and were seasoned so well. If I come back to NJ I’ll definitely be coming back here.

I recently worked from here and loved both the atmosphere and the food. I had surgery yesterday and can’t drive, so today I dragged my sister-in-law to take me here because I was craving their “Kat” pancakes and pistachio latte. When I walked in, I was greeted by who I believe is one of the co-owners, and the positive energy in the room was instant. He was so friendly and genuinely kind. Great food is one thing, but when you pair it with such welcoming, positive vibes, it takes the whole experience to another level. I’m an iced latte addict and can say I truly enjoy their flavors so this is 10/10.

Saying this as a former restaurant server who knows what truly exceptional service looks like—this place absolutely knocked it out of the park. The food was phenomenal, the coffee was outstanding, but the staff and service were on an entirely different level of excellence. From the moment we walked in, everything ran like a perfectly choreographed symphony: warm, attentive, professional, and genuinely caring. Orders were taken seamlessly, everything arrived lightning-fast yet perfectly timed, and not a single detail was missed. You can tell this team is well-trained, communicates effortlessly, and actually takes pride in what they do—and that is rare. It takes a lot to impress someone who’s worked in the industry, and this restaurant exceeded every expectation. Hands down one of the best dining experiences I’ve had. I’ll be recommending this place to everyone I know and will absolutely be back.

Great service! We had the place to ourselves for about 45 minutes. Highly suggest 8am on a Tuesday. We shared the chocolate chip banana bread to start and we were full from our hit drinks that we could have stopped there! Everything was hot and presentation was 10/10. Highly recommend! Support local!

I love! Love! Love! This place! I travel from Chicago to New Jersey frequently and every time I’m in town I eat here for breakfast, brunch or lunch. The food is always fresh the in house drinks are to perfection. The diner has indoor/outdoor setting intimate on the corner. Great place I highly suggests even travelers. They have the best coffee thus far and I’m a coffee connoisseur!
