Just tried the Lotus Cafe for my birthday breakfast and it was delicious!! I got the avocado protein toast and it is without a doubt the best avocado toast I’ve ever had. My boyfriend got the Lotus Breakfast Wrap and it was great. The service and atmosphere were top notch. We even contemplated going back out to get more! Definitely would recommend and will be coming back.

Extremely nice people! They accommodated my needs for being gluten-free (celiac) with my drink which was yummy and husband said his hot latte was really good. We will definitely be returning when we are in the area and will have more time to try some food, thanks again 😁 …

We went last week and loved this place! It's so cute and cozy. The drinks were delicious. Definitely need to come back to try the food. Staff was friendly and sweet. There's also a lounge area in the front I didn't go in but it was stylish and cozy looking. Tons of seating. I would recommend looking over their specials board too. There were some candles for sale. A really relaxing spot to grab a drink and a bite to eat. The music is nice too

First time at Lotus Cafe and will definitely be making a point to return! My Peanut Butter Cup Iced Latte was absolutely delicious, and the cafe is beautiful and clean inside. Everyone working was so pleasant- definitely the kind of place you could sit for awhile and enjoy the space 🙂

Remarkably delicious food served quickly by kind people! The paneer handi (pictured) is a highlight, as well as the mango lassi (also pictured), a smooth creamy drink contrast to the slightly spicy paneer handi - but honestly, every single thing I've gotten from here has been an absolute delight. I can't recommend Lotus Cafe highly enough, and am looking forward to appreciating them as part of our community and visiting them as frequently as possible!

Such a lovely place! We were greeted with friendly faces who carefully took our order (which I appreciated). I can’t have coffee and only limited caffeine, so I always feel anxious trying someplace new. Here I felt welcomed and was able to enjoy an incredibly fresh breakfast sandwich and an iced chai latte. There are various seating areas across the location, so it’s easy to find a place to settle in if you choose to dine in. Lotus Cafe is definitely a lovely addition to the community.

Great experience all around! Food, service and ambiance all 5/5. The owners are great people, they run a great business unlike many of the other establishments in town. Wednesday nights Indian food is a steal of a deal and as authentic as being in Jersey!

I have been here twice now and everything is amazing every time! I got curry the 1st time which was amaaaaazing! My son got a sandwich and a blueberry chai latte which he also loved! I went again today and got a bacon egg and cheese sandwich and a cold brew coffee. So good. Everyone there is super friendly, the building in clean and beautiful! This will be a regular for me now and I hope you give them a try!! They won't disappoint!!

I had a great first experience on Saturday. Went to try a new coffee place and ended up eating the most delicious meal. This was my very first time ever trying authentic Indian food. The chicken tikka masala was absolutely prepared with love and patience. Highly recommend it! Also tried one of the valentine drinks which was the Blush Rose cold brew 10/10 welcoming, and safe atmosphere. Looking forward to trying other dishes from here.
