This is what Merves kitchen allows to be put in customer’s sandwiches. Really just awful, avocado was inedible and rotten, hard as a rock and the rest of the sandwich isn’t much better. Unacceptable for how much they charge, would avoid at all costs.

I went with friends. Food was good and filling and presented cleanly. Atmosphere was beautiful too, with tall windows perfect for sunlight and easy piano music.My friends had mixed reviews on their drinks, but I personally liked mine (Dirty Chai). I got a small, but it was such a considerable size, like some places might charge you for a large for the same oz. Additionally, a good price, I attached a picture of the cup, which was filled to the brim, and for $4.95 nowadays it’s a bargain.My main issue was the Shakshuka. Again, delicious food. However, the pricing was a bit strange. I ordered a Veggie Lover Shakshuka, which is $10.95. I also wanted Feta, so I wanted that extra. Notice that the Shakshuka is $10.25, and the Shakshuka with feta $10.75. You would assume feta must be 50 cents, right? And that for feta in addition to a Veggie Lover Shakshuka is 50 cents plus $10.95. Look at my receipt. The extra cheese was $2.00. This just seems weird and inconsistent, and when I discussed it with a worker, the worker says that the system automatically charges $2.00 for extras and that they couldn’t set individual prices.Additionally, it seems they forgot the mushrooms and spinach for my Veggie Lover Shakshuka, which comes with peppers, spinach, and mushrooms. However, the workers remedied this when I brought this to their attention, providing extra bread as well.Overall, lovely place with good food, but weird pricing systems that are a bit shady in my opinion. I’d recommend this place, but don’t buy extras since they’ll charge $2.00 for a sprinkle of feta.

I’m so lucky with the job I have that I’m able to eat at a different places on different towns , even different states ( NY/NJ) every day, and this particular spot made me feel so comfortable, so welcome, hard to described but it made me feel like I had been here dozen of times.anyways, the service west excellent I order something very simple scrambled eggs with cheese and crispy and it was cooked to perfection, I suggestion will be if they can have the coffee a little more hot. but overall, I still give them five stars.

Adorable hidden gem with friendly service. The breakfast was a 10/10 and so beautifully plated too. The pancakes are uniquely and especially delicious. Highly recommend!

Love and grateful to have Merve’s cozy local cafe right here in town. She and her husband and her staff are genuinely nice people and her creations pretty to look at. My child has taken many a summer baking camp and asks to do it again.

Excellent cafe with a very relaxing vibe. The mini pie’s and cookies were amazing and will definitely be back. Great deserts for the holidays!

Tasty food and coffee in a cozy and quirky environment. Perfect music selection: pleasant, not distracting, not too loud. Excellent service, polite and helpful: I let my coffee get cold, asked to microwave it, and they offered to steam it for me instead. A simple thing, that I have never been offered at high end cafes.

I dig this place as I'm a fan of borek and strong coffee. They definitely deliver on both but sometimes they run out of borek (not sure if this is made in house or brought in from somewhere else. If it's made in house, they should make more). I'm being a bit generous with my rating here but they've been closed unexpectedly a few times without notice or a sign; maybe it's because they didn't update operating hours on here and Google. Also, the borek should be a little less expensive for the portion size. I debate whether or not I want to go into Paterson but the quality is good here and it's super close to me.

Beautiful custom cake & cookies for our son's first birthday! Merve is delightful to work with - super responsive, helpful and does beautiful work...pricing was very fair. She was able to accommodate an order less than 2 weeks prior to the event during a busy summer season. Wonderful experience.
