• West Village vibes in central Jersey. Love the Banana Foster pancakes! Great service!
• This is a really cute and cozy breakfast/brunch option in this neighborhood. An unexpected farmhouse chic in the jersey suburbs. The service was really slow and they need to hire more servers but otherwise food was very good! Coffee was also excellent.
• Nice little cute eatery for breakfast and lunch. Small menu but enough to satisfy your taste buds.
• Nice place for breakfast in Metuchen. Had the farmers' breakfast... Scrambled eggs, sausage, whole wheat toast, potatoes, coffee...all good. Small newly established local place with rustic homey feel. It's now on my list for Saturday breakfast in the Metuchen area.
• Hatch 44 has that NYC vibe. It's like having brunch in the city without having to go through the commute. Love it! Check out their Lox Benedict!
