Throwback Cafe

I was in Garfield, hungry, Googling places to eat. I came across this place and became intrigued after reading so many reviews (specially the “bad” ones). Upon walking in my first encounter was with Ben. He is awesome to say the least. The food is great and reasonably priced. The atmosphere was too cool to describe (you have to come in and experience it yourself). I plan to become a regular and already told all my coworkers about this place. P.S. Sorry Ben if your place gets taken over by my friends.

My fiancé always complains about ordering me a full meal or in this case a sandwich because I generally don’t finish eating everything, but this Bacon egg and cheese hard roll is so gooood! Yum seriously I’m gonna eat the whole thing and might even bite into my fiancés if he doesn’t soon! I believe the guy I spoke to over the phone was the owner very nice professional and when I went in to pick my food up it was warm and welcoming inside! He again was very nice when I went in and there’s even a pin ball machine I think it was and a TV and chairs very cute little spot with amazing food! Definitely recommend if you want a delicious breakfast sandwich! Will most definitely be back probably tomorrow tbh! Thank you so much!!

amazing food, creative recipes, fantastic theme. Really an original and unique store. One of a kind.

If you ever are traveling to NJ, definitely go out of your way to check out this hidden gem. If I still lived there, I'd be there for lunch every day

I came into the Throwback Cafe for the first time, to check it out and I was attended by Ben. He was very kind and had great customer service. My breakfast sandwich was delicious! I will definitely be coming back 😊

Ordered breakfast the other day, hubby loved The Heart Attack sandwich. Had lunch there today, AWESOME! Burgers are a good size and were excellent. We all also ordered some shakes, they were good as well! Definitely making this a new GO TO for meals!!!!

Peanut butter milkshake was delicious. Plus they had a Neo Geo arcade game. What!? Took me back to college days. Played a few Samurai Showdown games. Good time. Wish they had better hours. Tried to go again but they were already closed. 😔

My first time walking in after seeing this place for year. Ben who was working is pretty awesome and has put together a gem of a small local spot where you can go get something to eat and take a stroll down some great memories from your childhood. My new breakfast spot when I’m around during the week and on saturdays.

Awesome place my friend nick took me here! Its so cool! And the owner ben was a super nice guy! Highly recommend!

This place is an absolute gem. Awesome spot for the community with awesome food.

You are immediately greeted with nostalgia. I hope this place never goes away.

nah bruh the cookies and cream milk shake was so damm good ima go get another one some day because it was so good

Peanut butter milkshake was delicious.

Great shakes and a great place to chill if you want to take a step back in time just a little bit. Love the music and especially the video games.

I order the same thing all the time so good!! doesn't deliver but its so worth it!! get the heart attack breakfast sandwich.

Always took care of me and my buddies since the first day. Highly recommend this spot.
