Bite Food & Coffee Co

THE SERVICE WAS TERRIBLE. They were taking social media content the ENTIRE TIME. The waitresses were too busy taking videos. Not a single time did anyone come up to us. We had to make eye contact with them, even then they would look at you and go back to their phone. No one gave us water until we asked. They never came to check on us to fill it up. Never gave us napkins. Everytime we needed help we have to flag them down. It was hard to not interrupt their social media content. I realized the reason why the waitresses didn’t care was because GRATUITY WAS ALREADY ADDED TO THE BILL. (And btw we didn’t get our bill until we had to flag someone down). And then for some reason, one of the waitresses was jogging laps around the store??? We were there from 5:10 to 7, most of that was just waiting for someone to come to us. I’ll be honest though the food was good. But the service alone is the reason why I won’t go back.

Met my daughter for lunch here about 8 times so far. First review but applies to all visits. The food is really fresh and really delicious!! And the staff, SO nice! Very friendly, personable and very accommodating. Our favorite place to meet. Yes, those are lavendar lattes 💗😋😋😋

This is my regular spot to study for my Masters. Their food options are so wide and I love their mocktails. My new favorite which led me to this review is their Mac n cheese skillet with buffalo chicken. Yummy!! Then their Daiquiri Dragon. Amazing. Love that they have such a large variety of options from peach cobbler waffles, to Elote Cobb Salad to Nuttela Acai bowls.

Ray our server was amazing super attentive and super helpful with the menu, presented her self very courteous and with super professional and positive attitude. I will definitely come back. Our food was prepared extraordinarily delicious. My avocado toast presentation was absolutely amazing. Food is delicious. I truly enjoyed it and recommend it.

This place is the BEST! Joey the barista really stretches to perfect his coffee to the next level! Super charismatic. Tom really goes above and beyond at this location. It might be smaller but this location is better than the one by my house!! They are quick efficient and caring and that’s all you could really ask for in a dining experience!! They know customer service. You can’t be disappointed with staff like this! As well as the food! I love this place. AMAZING.

I love this place and the staff that work here. They all work hard and it shows through the output — some of the boldest, most creative and most delectable brunch dishes I have ever laid my eyes (and taste buds) on. I have a personal problem of being a customer here at least 2-3 times per week... and it's not a problem I'm going to work on... 🤭🤤😂

Ordered the Berry Chantilly French Toast, Build Your Own Omelette, Three Eggs Your Way and a Mint Rose Refresher. All of them tasted great. The place was clean and staff was friendly. We will definitely be going back.

Halal, large portions and the food tastes fresh. They have plenty of vegan options/allergies . My daughter has allergies and they were really accommodating. The server was sooo sweet . The caramel French toast was out of this world 😍 and not too sweet. I loved it and we hope to come back soon inshallah.

***Gluten Free*** proper kitchen knowledge, no shared friers and GF bun + other options available. Ambiance: 8/10 Service: 10/10 Food: 9/10 Beverage: 8/10 I wanted to LOVE this place, but it's not all possible. It has so much potential. I mean like to come in regularly and all.. too many inconsistencies. Food is delicious. Out of trying 5 meals, 4 were a hit. Steak and Eggs are delicious! Beet juice is refreshing and made to order. Service was spectacular. Now, what grinds my gear is this "fall menu". Clearly stated, drinks can be made hot or cold. Except, thats not true. I order a hot banana latte -- they couldn't make it hot saying, "it tastes different and bad". Ok. So we go through the many with our waitress of ones I cannot order hot, and end up with the carrot cake latte. Tasted nothing near of carrot cake, but was ok for me. It tasted like a latte, and was warm which checked off my box. Strawberry Matcha was really nice also as a warm beverage, however they kept trying to advise me against ordering. Will be back, just not as frequently as I was hoping.

Always looking for new places to try in the area. Never would have expected this in a random location. Parking can be challenging depending on the time of day near the hospital. The food and staff were great. If I find myself visiting the hospital will keep this place in mind.

This was my first time at the Hackensack location and for a Sunday lunch it was not so busy. We got seated right away and the servers were friendly and greeted me and my friend with smiles. Food is always simply amazing. I have the chicken parm plate which was suggested by the server and it did not disappoint! It was as good as the pic looks! I drank the peach mango lemonade which was refreshing and I'm glad I didn't add extra sugar because it was a perfect amount of sweet. Overall I'm always happy about going to Bite because it's good vibes and great food.

The quesadilla tasted good, but it came completely melted and stuck together due to the to-go packaging. Better boxing would help keep it from getting soggy. Also, during my visit, my son accidentally knocked over a sign and an employee made a comment that didn't feel very professional. I understand accidents happen, but I would have appreciated a more understanding response. Overall, I hope improvements can be made.

Had a chance to visit for lunch on a Sunday. Their menu is deep like a diner which was good for our group. ended up trying the brunch burger which came with a perfectly cooked runny egg and a side of fries. Pumpkin latte was delicious, too. My wife had the short rib omelette which was massive. Definitely a great experience and service was awesome. Very attentive.

Tried to give this place another chance. We dined in instead. Chic place trying to look hip with pricey meals. I ordered the Burger Au poivre and iced lavender latter. I went with the burger because the egg item I wanted (southern eggs Benny) didn't come with a side For the price. So I ordered this burger that was questionable. It was over-slapped with sauces and flavors that did not work. It was drowning in sauce. For four dollars more, I upgraaded to truffle fries. The fries were hard; not crispy, or burnt, but hard to bite and chew. $60 dollars between my husband's meal (also no side), his and my coffee, and my burger. Saving grace was the coffee. Doubt I will come again.

I ordered for takeout a hot honey chicken Caesar wrap with onion rings and chipotle aioli. Chipotle aioli was really good! However, the wrap was just ok. Its supposed to be to have crispy hot honey chicken in it but it was soggy ( no crisp) so in my mind i thought, well thats a waste of calories! The onion rings was like biting into oil, which i was disappointed because they looked so good! Also , the mediterranean salmon bowl ( took home) was just not working for me. The flavors/ingredients in it I feel did not mesh well together.

The ambiance in this spot is full of IG vibes. Some cute breakfast vibes. The menu is so vast and so innovative, Slutty Chai, yes please. I ordered so much from the menu and went home with much of all of it. But the top items were the French toast and those potatoes with queso were amazing. The drinks here were also really good. I had a strawberry passion fruit drink and it was refreshing and fruity. It's definitely a cute breakfast spot.

I went here before hitting a road trip and picked a matte latte with oat & a BEC (with turkey bacon.) I was thrilled to find out that this restaurant is halal. The matcha latte was okay it could be better, maybe more powder ratio to water. The BEC was really good!! And it came with a side of hash browns which was great, so crispy. Came back second time after completing the road trip and ordered pick up. We got a bunch of pizzas, a salad and I also got the burrata burger. The burrata burger was so fire, I don't know what they did but I never had something like that. Next time I want to try the mac and cheese burger, seems like you can't order that online.

Bite's Huevos Rancheros for a lovely lunch! I have a primarily no pork diet so finding certain dishes with no pork but still having the same satisfaction is hard. I've had a burger with really good turkey bacon before and now this! The chorizo is turkey and the rest played lovely together. Looks like a lot of sauce but with the amount of potatoes it'll even it out! The food was good and surprisingly it did have a good spice to it. A bit confusing on how seating works because no one works as a host, you just kind of have to look for your own table, but once you do they are quick to help! I had the almond crunch smoothie as well and I loved it. Perfect texture and taste. Honestly both are very filling, so I had a second lunch from all the leftovers! 10/10 would go back again and try another item on the menu!

I'm thoroughly impressed by how this Bite managed to make a simple takeout order extremely annoying and time consuming; this was my first and certainly last time visiting the Hackensack location. Since it was Father's Day, I did a DoorDash order for pickup. Upon arriving, I went inside and didn't see any clear indicator of where to go to retrieve pickups. There were customers ordering at a register off to the side of where they make drinks, so I stood there waiting to finally get to the front. I said I was picking up an order only to be told that they don't do order pickups there and I need to go to the front after all of that unnecessary waiting. There is a small stand by the entrance area where I did not see a half-covered sign indicating to go there for picking up orders. There was a group of people standing in front of that sign, so I never would have seen it had the barista not mentioned it. Not that this mattered at all because there was no host/hostess available; there were staff members running around and they were avoiding the entrance area like it was a bad ex. I finally went back to the barista I spoke to and asked if there's anyone working over there because nobody came by. They managed to flag down one of the workers who finally gave me my food. Mind you, there was a line of people forming behind me with no one even getting names or providing wait times to be seated. I have never seen anything like this at any eatery. I have always had great experiences visiting the Fair Lawn location, so this was beyond disappointing. Hats off to this disorganized chaos for managing to irritate me quicker than my congealed quesadilla did.

Stopped by for a dirty matcha latte to go. There are a lot of signage which can be confusing. (Attached to this review). The spot inside is a pretty chill vibe over all. From what I expected they keep the ac on blast which could be a good or bad thing depending on the weather. My matcha latte Togo was not as ordered and was just horrible which I'm so surprised because other reviews described how good their coffee was. I order mine with oat milk and definitely got almond milk. The coffee tastes. Watered down as well. Not sure why but I went out of my way to try this spot out and it was not it. I gave a two star rating because the staff was very friendly.

Was able to get seated right away without a wait on a Saturday morning. Lots of indoor seating, cute indoor decor, music is a little loud. Their espresso was very well made and specialty lattes were delicious. They have tons of options for vegetarians/ vegans. I ordered an egg white omelet, vegan burrito and blueberry pancake. All were fresh and delicious. Will definitely be coming back here!

Looking for something healthy and different for brunch/lunch? Pop over to BITE. In an area devoid of a respectable place to eat near the hospital, this should be your go to when visiting someone at HUMC. Decor vibes modern boho chic and very comfy with an awesome playlist. Service was genuinely nice which made for a comfortable I rushed meal. The coffee and teas were yummy and the food was perfectly portioned, seasoned and spot on temperature. The home fries were next level! Simple, quick and sufficient. Go ahead and have a BITE!

Very cozy ambience. Food presentation is enticing. Food is good but pricey. I had eggs, salad and turkey bacon. It wasn't anything exceptional.

The place was very nice and cozy. The staff was very attentive and helpful. The food tasted amazing, I was very impressed by the presentation and the quantity of the food offered per plate.

Super cute cafe, very friendly and helpful staff, where food tastes better than it looks. This was my 2nd trip there-1st time I ordered short rib tacos which didn't look very appealing and are very skimpy for almost $20 (forgot to take a pic) but they were very flavorful. This time I ordered grilled cheese on sourdough which comes with house made chips or greens making it a much better value than the tacos. The menu consists of breakfast/lunch and brunch items and a variety of coffee/tea options. They also have lunch specials where you pick an entree and it comes with 3 sides for a reasonable price. I took off a star for the less than desirable food presentation (you eat with your eyes 1st). But, I will be back to try a lunch special and a specialty drink. 7/10

Yummiest matcha latte ever! I got the Mocha Matcha with the Vanilla Cold Cream - what a sweet treat! I was also surprised by how extensive their menu options were - from pancakes to pizzas, and everything in between! The space is also very large with many tables, making it ideal to meet for lunch or to study. Would love to visit again and not just for the matcha!

The first picture is what the quesadilla looks like today. The second picture is what this quesadilla used to look like before they changed management. I've been coming to Bite for years now and never had a bad meal. I'm so disappointed to see that they changed up the way Bite is. Definitely not the same at all. Quality is so different. No self sit-down anymore too. They changed their chips and it's stale and dry. My friends were telling me they changed the way the place ran while I was away at college and I needed to try it myself. They were unfortunately so right. I have never been more unsatisfied coming to Bite before. Probably would only come back for their coffee.

Cute spot for laptoping or grabbing food and hot drinks with friends. Place has a lily garden decor. Sometimes the lighting is too bright. I ain't a chicken at Popeyes. Order through the app. Food is delivered. Service is great and they will go out of their way. Buffalo pizza was yummy and spicy Turmeric latte was delicious Huge menu options. Free parking. Outlets along the wall.

Highly Recommend! The ambiance was great! The service was right on point and last but not least the food was A+! It was my first time at Bite and I'm so happy that my good friend put me on to this place. Can't wait to go back.

Dined in here for brunch and was pretty disappointed with both the food and the service. My wife's order came after 18 minutes and seemed decent, if a bit overpriced. But meanwhile my mac n cheese skillet took over 30 minutes and looked nothing like the pictures here. The pasta was inexplicably mini rigatoni, the buffalo chicken had no buffalo flavor/sauce/color at all, and the cheese was a runny liquid mess. Slow, gross, and way too expensive for what it was. Aside from bringing the late food, no one ever checked up on us to offer a water refill or bring hot sauce or ketchup, let alone offered anything to make up for the absurd food delay. I could maybe understand if the place was slammed, but there were quite a few empty tables the entire time.

Super delicious! Hot and fresh! I had the BALT with salad. My husband had the chicken Parmesan sandwich with fries and my friend had the shroom shroom pizza with chicken. Big portions. We took lots home. My only issue was ordering. It was a pain on our phones and we were very confused.

This place is adorable from the moment you walk in a beautiful flower wall photo opp , well more like the jungle but still dope ! I had a mocha latte and my man had the lavender wow both were works of art and tasty ! To eat we shared the French toast, chocolate chunk pancakes and the avocado mash! Wow incredible everything wa amazing ! Can't wait to come back for Dinner

Not good you guys changed menu and took out my main dish the Eggs Benny .. Reason why I would go to you every Sunday practically :.anyways would have scored higher but the French Toast Bacon Egg and Cheese not the same...

The place has a nice vibe to it to sit down and work or study. I ordered the wrap from the menu and a ginger lemonade. Both were good. However the service was slow considering there were only about 10 people. I received my wrap but waited over 20 minutes for the lemonade. After inquiring about they said they misplaced the ticket and had to wait another 15. At that point I left. Would probably return for a pick up order.

My toddler loved the chocolate chip pancakes! It would be lovely if they added a kids menu. I thoroughly enjoyed their smoothies and I split with my son. The fried cheese bites were good. They forgot the Parmesan cheese and they were very cold so they came and said they forgot to heat them (I believe came right from freezer to our table) and went back and did. I took them home because was still a little cold so I could heat them up further at home. They didn't offer water and forgot silverware. They noticed they forgot honey on the pizza so did it at the table. We enjoyed the pepperoni honey pizza. I believe it might have been the manager walking around who was friendly and observant of tables. It was pretty busy we went sat around 1:20. Free parking which was nice. A lot of nice mention options especially smoothie and coffee drinks. Three people was about $80 plus tip. They played good music. Service and accuracy could be improved.

Absolutely love this place! Food is always delicious, it's a great place to study, get work done, or meet friends for a meal. The service is great, employees are always nice. I ordered a burger which came with caramelized onions, Gouda cheese, & something crunchy (so delicious). A plus is that it came with fries. Also got their chai tea latte which never disappoints. They are a bit pricey but the food is so worth it because of their big portion size and amazing flavors.

Looking forward to try the mocha and cappuccino of the pictures, I drove several miles to make on time. And guest what ? This place is not even a coffee shop, owners please remove the coffee pictures of google is very confusing. Specially if you are a restaurant and not an specialty coffee shop.

Stopped here to do some work and it was super pleasant. Lots of outlets by the booths and wifi was pretty good! Staff was super friendly- I was here for a few hours waiting for a friend and they were so nice to let me use the space. Pancakes satisfied the sweets craving I was having. Perfect amount of blueberries. The blueberry mocha was pretty sweet so next time I'd ask for it to have a little less of the syrups but the coffee was good. Also had the pistachio latte which was creamy and delicious. Great for meeting friends, doing work or for a coffee quick lunch break.

Not getting the hype at all. Every time I came by after an appt in the area , their were several items that wasn't available. I wasn't really a fan of the food combined with the prices. Too hipster. Give me a normal place. This wasn't it.

I had the maple latte and REALLY enjoyed it. My mom too! We shared a breakfast dish and it was fantastic. The food is clearly made fresh! Love the vibe of the place. It's a good mix between dine in and carry out. Love that you can do either or. The employees were very kind. Hoping to come back very soon!

Good food, clean restaurant, nice atmosphere . We enjoyed breakfast. It was good and I just wanted to give some stars, but have a minimum number of characters....

Very good food Generous portions and very tasty. The best thing is all Halal. No pork!! Also I recommend the lattes and mock tail drinks. Very impressive.

This place is great! So cute inside. Not at all what I expected!!! I had the SoCal breakfast burrito. For a little burrito it was packed and very filling. The Turkey chorizo brought some nice heat. My sis got the eggs Benny. Portion looked huge when she opened it. It came with a small salad and potatoes. The potatoes were mixed which is something different - white, sweet and purple. I also tried the chagaccino. I was intrigued by the fact it's made from a mushroom. The description of the flavor was spot on. It very much tasted like a mocha. I thought it was good! As for getting there, the address is Essex St but you have to enter from either of the side streets. When you exit you can only make a right turn which was a pain since I was off to the hospital next. If you're at the hospital and need a place to get food

Food is always delicious. Only reason for 4 stars is that service is slow. Often times one of party members dishes is ready and sitting under then lamp while awaiting the other one. Sandwiches are good portion and tasty, fries are great. Restaurant is super cute and well decorated

The food is pretty good. I came for the gluten free aspect however this location does not have gluten free breads or waffles which is disappointing. The customer interaction can be better. Waitress knowledge of menu would also help push this to five stars. I love the vibes, it is very relaxing. I would come again.

I ordered a cappuccino with coconut milk, it was good. The eggs Benedict were good. They make their own turkey sausage. My server Daisy was very helpful. GF options!!! The place is cute.

Really enjoyed my pumpkin tea drink with oat milk and the fish tacos were awesome! Loved that u could get lettuce wrapped. Interior design here is stunning! Very nice staff too.

Super cute cafe! Love the pink decor and the roomy interior as well (very instagrammable)! The drinks and pastry were yummy so I would love to come back and try their food! One thing to note about parking; there is a big parking lot right in front of the cafe but there is a sign that says 30 minute parking only (This was back in Dec 2021 when I visited). Not sure if it is strictly enforced but just a FYI!

This place is so sweet and vibey. I am a big fan of their coffee; pumpkin spice, lavender, pistachio lattes. They have dairy free options for the coffee and always add a nice touch to their presentation. I love their vegan options they are full of flavor and kind of wish they can add another lunch menu for vegans. I love their vegan burrito with the green goddess. I also love their vegan tacos. The price is medium and I have yet to buy avocado toast because it is way overpriced. The service is sweet and they are always awesome. The place is perfect for lunch and studying. Ambiance is chill. I am a frequent customer and would definitely recommend.

Randomly found this place in google looking for a new vegan friendly restaurant. The decor is just delightful! It's a small place but spaced out well. All ordering is done via QR code. Only issue with that was that there was no way to space out the appetizer and entrees. At least not that I could figure out. Not a big deal though. We shared the vegan nachos which were tasty, and a big portion. I got the vegan burger, which is an Impossible Burger with avocado, mescaline, tomato and chipotle ketchup. I selected sweet potato fries as my side. Both were delicious. I also got the mango colada shake. Loved it! I would come back just for that! I'm going to have to come back and try those vegan breakfast dishes! Overall, great food and great atmosphere!

I walked over from the ER and thought I'd have to find something at Starbucks, but then I saw Bite and knew it would be better. Wow, this is the BEST chai latte I've ever had! That alone is five stars! I ordered the steak and eggs brunch and it was very good, though I felt a bit more fat could have been trimmed off (and replaced with a bit more steak). To be fair, the portion wasn't particularly small, but I was really hungry. Definitely give this place a try for a light "healthier" meal. The staff is very friendly and it is busy in here, but you still get service with a smile.

I've been here a couple of times and at first I was like damn, the serving is small but no way you gotta take your first bite! The food is filling !! Both times I would be half way through my meal and am full then consume the rest later or to share. I really enjoy their juices too! The staff is wonderful- especially the young gentleman that served food. There is free parking here. Please sign up for their reward system- it'll save you $$ in the long run. I'll be back when I'm in the area. Enjoy!

Was not really in the mood for Coffee, so instead tried their Mocktails, Ruby Cocoa and Golden Latte, which tasted pretty good. Ambience was very soothing and pleasant, and the Staff were also friendly and helpful. You can order and pay using the QR Code at the Table, which is always a + for me. Giving 4 Stars simply because I did not any Coffee or Food.

Okay, I'm not going to lie. The process to order here is really annoying. There are people at the front seemingly only there to let you know you need to scan the QR code to order. I think if I would have known that ahead of time it wouldn't have been as big of a deal because I could have ordered ahead. So keep that in mind before coming. On to the food: I was looking for something somewhat healthy this day so I ordered the chickpea power bowl. I reaaally enjoyed my meal so I didn't have the heart to give this place anything lower than 4 stars. The tahini sauce was just too good. The restaurant overall has a cute aesthetic. Neon sign in front makes it an instagram worthy spot.

We ordered in Friday night and the food was delivered via DoorDash within 40mins. Despite the smaller portions, the food is exceptional. My husband's steak bowl is small with 5 slivers of protein and 1" tall bed of veggie "noodles", exactly how it is pictured in my review- not what we would typically pay if we knew what we'd received... only bc we are in NJ. For $15 (with a small portion) there should be a side salad so the bowl wouldn't look empty. We joked that that his meal portion was only expected if we were in midtown New York (very true for those who lives in NJ and works in NY). My fish tacos are deliciously. I love the cider slaw, jalapeños and guacamole. The fish batter was VERY crispy!!! I personally can't stand soggy batter fish tacos. This experience felt like I was eating at the restaurant since they were so fresh ! I highly recommend their fried Mac and cheese balls! Flavors and cheesiness is 10/10. And they would be awesome Hors d'oeuvres for any parties!

I really wanted to give 5 stars because there are so many vegan options, but breakfast is much better than the lunch/dinner and I've had some mixed reviews on the lunch/dinner options. For lunch/dinner- not all at my favorite.. but there are some good options! I've tried the mole burger, it's decent but I wish they had a vegan cheese to sub the pepperjack cheese for. I feel like there's something missing from the mole burger without the vegan cheese.. The lentil soup is OK- overdone with spices but is filling. The vegan impossible burger is pretty good & filling. I do love the house chips here- an absolute must! I wouldn't try the falafel plate- the falafel doesn't taste 100% authentic. The chickpea power bowl is solid for a healthier filling option. And the pizzas are small and thin, but the shroom shroom pizza is so good (without honey, ricotta and sub regular cheese for vegan cheese). Let's talk some of my favorites for breakfast- I tried the vegan breakfast burritos (both the sovegan & scrambler), vegan brekkie plate, and chickpea mash. They're all pretty good but the sovegan breakfast burrito is my absolute favorite & I love the potatoes that come with it. And- the superfood lattes are good! The ruby cocoa is a must try! Looking forward to trying more things here!

Cute little cafe/food spot! Food tastes good and presentation is aesthetically social media worthy!
