Terrace Cafe

In my twenty six years of living and eating out, this place makes it to the top ten. Top five. And if I lived in New Jersey, I'd come here repeatedly. The food is great, it has this homemade but refined taste. The ingredients are nicely paired and cooked really well, you can practically see the chef's skill in the omelete. They're also super friendly and, I'm a quiet eater, so I loved listening to the two of them banter. We came at a slow time, so they started playing billiards together. Adorable and it made the atmosphere relaxing and chill.

Stopped here on our way back home, loved that it was so close to the highway.

The owners are super nice and attentive! Their recommendations were just what we wanted. My boyfriend got the signature sandwich the hobo which did not disappoint and I got the an egg, tomato, spinach and cheese sandwich which was also super good. We also shared pancakes that tasted sweet and home-y. Definitely recommend and definitely will be going back!

My wife been telling me that we should try this place. Finally we did it, place was very clean and cozy/homey. The owner and staff are very nice and friendly. The sandwiches that we got are freshly made savory and delectable. Definitely recommending this place.

What an absolute delight! From the employees to the food!
The location is divided between two businesses and right next to the park which is super convenient for the summer time with their food options.

I ordered the bacon, egg, & cheese and my son had the kids pancakes. Clearly it looked so good and we were starving that I forgot to the before pictures. The pancakes were so delicious that I was stealing them from my son. This place is definitely a recommendation!

The best french toast I've ever had! We ordered soup for today (chicken vegetables) & french toast, and hangry teaneck. Everything was perfectly delicious and staffs are super nice. I love their vibe. We had to order more dishes to go for Santorini wrap and tiramisu - I have no pictures because I was busy enjoying my food... We will definitely come back here frequently. Please try this hidden gem. You will never regret it.

It's a very small cafe so be warned there could be a wait if you want to sit down. Maybe like two 4 top tables and 3 two top tables. So seating is very limited. We got here around 8:30 am so we got lucky but it soon filled up.

Decor: The place is clean and quaint. It's not fancy but nicely decorated.

Service: Not a waiter type of restaurant but I believe it's owned by a couple with the wife at the front and her husband who is a chef and known as Chef Todd in back cooking. They were very nice and both offered suggestions on what we should try and what they were awarded and known for. No complaints at all. Service was fantastic and friendly.

Food: This place wowed me and I don't use that lightly. I'm not a picky eater but I'm not easily impressed either. My mother and my food was fantastic. The omelettes were so light and fluffy. The Home fries were thin almost like chips but more like a hybrid of chips and home fries. First time ever having something like that before. The bread was multi grain that was nicely toasted and has great flavor even without butter. You can taste the love and pride in the food. I haven't felt this way about an omelette ever in my life. EVER. My mother said her omelette was the best she ever had in her life. I have to agree. This place is legit. I don't give 5 stars easily but this place deserves it. Oh the best black coffee I've ever had as well.

We will be back for sure and you should come too. This is for sure a restaurant destination place for breakfast at the very least. They have the holy trinity of great restaurants. Great food, friendly service and comfortable atmosphere.

Come here and thank me later. You're welcome Googlers and remember to follow me for more great places and hit that useful button.

Amazing food! Great people. Great experience. We’re trying out different items every time we visit and never been disappointed. Today we had a fried flounder sandwich that was finger licking good!! We also tried their award-winning spicy chicken sandwich - also very delicious! You can never go wrong with their award-winning BLT sandwich either! Plenty of fresh food and special off-the-menu items to choose from. Highly recommend this place for any meal of the day.

The special french toast we had earlier was the best i have ever tasted! I also love the omelette spinach with mushroom it’s full of flavor. The staff are so nice and friendly and the place has a homy atmosphere! Highly recommended 👍

First time here but the had the best experience. Ordered the hobo and my partner ordered a sausage egg and cheese with home fries. It was beyond delicious especially the bread which was soft and pillowy. Also the customer service was amazing, the couple were friendly, warm and had a sense of urgency. Would definitely come back!

Had brunch here for the first time today. Easy five stars for both food AND the service. My picky teenager loved his sandwich (he had The Mexican) and my breakfast plate was very well done with perfectly poached eggs. Happy we found a new awesome brunch spot!

Cute little spot with Absolutely delicious food! Super fresh ingredients and you could tell with every bite! We ordered the Terrace BLT, Spicy Chicken Melt, and the pancakes! The sandwiches were incredible with their own homemade mayo and everything! The pancakes are truly one of the best I've ever had. There's no need for syrup! That's how good it is! The owners are super nice and just a down to earth couple serving food with love! A must try! I can't wait to come back!

Brought my mom and niece to this cafe based on the high ratings. While seems to be a small and unassuming venue, the quality of the food was unbeatable. We had the BLT, Hangry Teaneck and Philly Cheesesteak sandwiches and they were all delicious! Niece said the BLT was the best she’s had in her life (high praise as she’s a picky eater). While we were there, chef was preparing pan fried salmon for a party. They smelt so good I wished we could have ordered.

The cutest cafe with the tastiest omelettes. Dina and Todd run a two man operation and somehow still had the time to talk to us about crowd favorites and how our visit was.. luckily we’re 5 minutes away so we’ll definitely be stopping by to try more things! Enjoy this adorable photo I caught of them while in the middle of decorating 🥹

This is my 2nd review on this cafe. This time a little different. My experience walking in I saw A LOT more people than last time, which was expected but this time it was one of those random rushes. Working in the food business for a bit I’ve experienced my fair share of high order rates with a small staff before which can be very stressful. Some customers ahead of me I saw were getting stressed with the wait thinking it would be immediate with only 2 people running a busy store. I mean read the room, there will be a wait. Even with this rush the 2 people running the store handled it the best they can and in the end the food still held its amazing quality as the last time I was here. Love this place and glad it’s getting foot traffic it deserves.

Amazing amazing. Had such an amazing brunch here. Everything was amazing, really delicious Panini. You can tell the passion they have in serving food.
Thank you

I was in the area for work and googled some places nearby to grab lunch. I saw the Terrace Cafe had great ratings so I decided to give it a try.

Something about the spicy chicken melt popped out instantly on the menu. Todd and Dina, the owners, said it was one of the most popular sandwiches on the menu. It was phenomenal! Everything on the sandwich creates a perfect balance! Probably one of the best sandwiches I’ve had in a very long time, and I’m a huge foodie!

I have to mention that Dina and Todd are extremely nice and welcoming people. You can clearly tell 2 minutes into a conversation with them that they truly enjoy what they do. Todd and Dina were excited and enthusiastic to explain to me all of todays specials, and it seems to change often which is a great indication that a chef enjoys changing it up and trying new things.

This small business deserves to be praised and is a must try! I know you won’t be disappointed.

My new favorite breakfast place!!
We ordered French toast, a ham egg and cheese sandwich and home fries. Owner told us that we wouldn’t need syrup, and he was right! The French toast was so good we didn’t need syrup!
Definitely coming back again!

What a hidden gem! The food was delicious. Our family ate every single bite. My picky kids gave it an 11/10 and want to come back out next visit.

I’m a field technician with a little delay between appointments sometimes. I was driving from Closter to Westwood when I had an hour and a half to kill so I googled a local breakfast/diner close to me and this popped up. Soft jazz music playing on speaker as I walked up which was cool , many two-top tables inside and and a couple 4-tops. Place was clean and all the food looked great. I had the #1 mushroom, caramelized onion and cheddar omelette. Hands down best omelette I have ever eaten. Period . The flavor was excellent and even the home fries / potatoes were perfectly done. No need to add anything ( no salt/ pepper , ketchup , hot sauce .. nothing ! Was perfect: ) wish this was closer to my home but whenever I area I will be back. Nice job

Great sandwiches and breakfast in a nice comfortable environment… Very reasonable prices , nice hard working family. i would come back again if I were in the area.God Bless this business
