Came for a quick breakfast. Only person in the entire place and they still have you go pick up your food, and they were not busy at all. Another one of those tipping places where they encourage you to tip 15%, 20% or 25% yet, they don’t take anything to you, you get the drinks and food at the counter yourself and you still return the tray yourself. But the staff is super friendly. The atmosphere is nice and clean. The food was pretty good. Prices are a little up there. Coffee is ok.

Cafe Hesed in Little Ferry, NJ, offers a cozy atmosphere and serves various breakfast, lunch, pasta, pizza, and unique drinks. Good comes in large portions and affordable prices, making it ideal for sharing. I ordered Ham, Egg, and Cheese sandwich, french onion soup, meatball spaghetti, carbonara pasta, and lava Cake. I like the cozy vibe inside and service was good. I like the vibes and how comfortable the seatings are, but the loud music inside may be drawbacks for some customers. Also, it's a convenient location near stores like H Mart.

I got a really decent matcha latte here not too bitter at all! Not too sweet accept for the little from the milk and my own addition. I love the atmosphere . Will definitely be back to try something else. Much better and cleaner than the usual suspects coffee shop

One of the few cafe I like to stay and do remote work in the area. Best part is that there are plenty of tables and usually not crowded in the daytime. Music can be a bit loud which I’m not bothered (actually preferred so it masks surrounding conversation). Staff are fine as it’s all self service. Food is HUGE in the portion but…don’t put too much expectation, they’re the average chain cafe level. Coffee and espresso drinks are good though! Pastry sometimes tastes like they’ve been sitting in the window for long, but good enough for when I crave sugar during work.

Great little place minutes from work. Seen this place couple of times after shopping next door at HMart and decided to finally try it. Originally just went in for drinks with my girlfriend but ended up trying out some food after looking at the menu. I really like the ambiance in here. It's just very comfy and relaxing. Multiple couches or tables to sit at while you eat or just enjoy your drink. Modern music plays in the background and it's not too loud. I read some of the 1 star reviews and was a little worried but I personally did not have any major issues. People have said they've gotten spoiled drinks and food and that customer service was really bad. Also that they dont wear gloves when grabbing desserts for you. I can see how that could be an issue. I didnt witness that while i was there though. These reviews were month or 2 ago so maybe it got better? Like I said nothing major and hopefully nothing changes when I go back. Having said all this, the only setback was the food my girlfriend ordered. She had the chicken tenders with fries and she did not like it. She said chicken was bland as were the fries. She would not order again. I on the other hand, got the fish tacos and was not disappointed. I really thought they were really good and would definitely order them again. My strawberry drink was also really good. She liked her tea very much as well. I am definitely going back again and trying out different dishes. I see myself coming back once in awhile right after work. I thought prices were pretty good as well. Reviews seem hit or miss. Either they give it 5 stars or 1. I'm glad I had a good experience and could give it a good review.

I never knew this place existed but I am happy I strolled in. The shrimp cesar salad was great. The fries were delicious. And I'm in love with their lavender tea, both hot and cold. The portion size was GREAT!
