    Kool place with a country vibe. Varied menu with plenty of choices for most tastes priced fair for value! Busy for lunch but with plenty of servers and multiple cooks not a long wait! The owner Barbra was cordial, friendly and welcoming! Seating inside and out! Make it a must stop if your in the area. I’m glad I did.

    When you look for a local place to eat and you are not from around the area, trust the reviews that are 5/5 with over 300 ratings. We sat at the counter to avoid the wait. It was busy, crowded, and a little loud...signs of a popular Saturday morning destination. Wait staff was bustling. The juice was fresh pressed and the hot chocolate delicious. Chefs were consistently pumping out dishes to the counter! Food looked beautiful and tasted devine. I got Eggs Benny and enjoyed every bite. French toast and 3 egg omelet were enjoyed by my party, too.

    Was excited to try this place with such a high rating! Hostess told us 20 minutes, we were seated 50 minutes later. The hot chocolate was AMAZING🤤! I ordered the banana french toast. Came out soggy and bananas tasted strange. Wife wasn’t excited with her avocado toast and eggs. The tables are tiny and you feel crammed in. Very loud atmosphere, I was ready to leave as soon as I finished!

    This place is a hidden gem in Basking Ridge! It is quaint but energetic on the weekends, making it somewhat difficult to get a table. We sat at the bar and got served quickly. The food was delicious but our waitress was hovering over us the entire time, making us feel rushed.

    This place can get very crowded on a weekend, so plan ahead! That being said, it is completely worth the wait. Delicious breakfast and brunch items and the polish donuts will surely satisfy your sweet tooth!

    Everything was amazing!! Seriously stellar. Ambience - cute and bustly. Service - upbeat, polite, friendly, and on point. Food - delicious!!! An international flair made the menu fun (amid your classics). We enjoyed the coffee, eggs Benny and Warsaw skillet. Flavor profile was perfect. Quality bread. Excellent seasoning. I would drive over an hour just to go here. Thanks for an awesome meal!

    Blue Cafe in Basking Ridge is our go-to spot for breakfast with friends! It's the perfect place to start our day with delicious food and great company. The cozy atmosphere and friendly staff make us feel right at home. The menu offers a wide range of breakfast options, from classic favorites like fluffy pancakes and crispy bacon to unique creations like avocado toast with a twist. One of my personal favorites is their signature breakfast burrito, packed with flavorful ingredients that always leave me satisfied. The coffee is always brewed to perfection, giving us the energy boost we need to kickstart our day. The service at Blue Cafe is exceptional, with attentive staff who make sure we have everything we need. Whether we're catching up over a leisurely brunch or grabbing a quick bite before a busy day, Blue Cafe never disappoints. It's become a cherished tradition for us, and I can't wait for our next breakfast adventure at Blue Cafe!

    This place is always busy and I understand why! You will always be greeted and seated right away. The waiter will be checking on you all the time, and food delivery to your table will be super fast. Food is delicious with some interesting and exciting choices of polish food. You can order crepes or pancakes or full plate of continental breakfast. My fav is Paris morning. If you want to try something authentic: try polish donuts for dessert. Excellent.

    I had the ricotta lemon gluten-free pancakes, and they were hands down the best gluten free pancakes I've had in the 20 years I've had celiac.

    I really enjoy checking out new brunch spots and this one did not disappoint. The fresh pressed juice was simply delightful and refreshing and my pancakes were yummy!

    My go to place for lunch...why?? So many reasons, but simply put it's all about the consistency of food & service. Blue Cafe does this extremely well! The food is exceptional, using the freshest ingredients; there is a wide variety of unique menu options to choose from. Staff is always super friendly, very attentive & accommodating to everyone's needs. Operationally, everyone works together to ensure a positive dining experience in a timely manner. Place is small, so when the weather isn't conducive to outdoor dining, they manage to keep the flow going. Very clean, too! Thanks so much for a terrific experience all the time!
