Estime's Cafe

Estime’s never misses! We’ve been here more times than I can count because it’s consistently that good. The food is always on point, the vibe is right, and the staff — including the chef — are genuinely kind and welcoming every single time. I usually get the Estime’s omelet, but this visit I took it up a notch and added the Creole sauce on the side… then poured it right over the omelet. Absolutely incredible. The home fries are always perfectly seasoned and delicious, but what really took this visit over the top was the fried chicken. As someone from Detroit, where soul food is serious business, this is hands down some of the best fried chicken I’ve had in New Jersey. Crispy, flavorful, and cooked perfectly. From the music and relaxed atmosphere to it being BYOB, Estime’s is a great bre

Today on Sunday, February 1, 2026 was my first time ever visting or eating at Estime's Cafe. I must say that Estime's Cafe is a hidden gem. The staff and owner are very nice and friendly. The owner actually walked around to each table to greet and to check on his customers. I ordered the chicken and French toast with a coffee, and I must say the food and drink was absolutely delicious. The resturant is small but roomy and very relaxing. Its very clean inside. The music was tasteful. I will definitely return again. I would highly recommend Estime's Cafe to others. Also to add, as I was leaving, the owner shared that he also has a steakhouse in Metuchen, NJ called Duke's Steakhouse. I can't wait to try it!

Came her on a Sunday for brunch after a church retreat, my friend found it. It's quaint with a bar and nice decor. And it's Haitian owned. Also it's Byob. Nice staff but our young waitress needs more training. My friend spoke to the owner as we waited to be seated who was very nice. We sat and i posted the salmon and grits, my friend had the shrimp n grits. I Also ordered the pumpkin spice pancake with amaretto sauce. Pumpking spice pancake was good didn't really taste like pumpkin and the sauce I couldn't tell what flavor it was. But I like how I could order a single pancake as opposed to a stack. The pancake was also cooked well. The salmon n grits was good; grits a li'l too runny and salmon a small portion. I liked that it was covered in sauce because, I love a lot of sauce on my f

Today, we followed up with owner, Damani’s promise and so glad we did. We experienced Duke’s Steakhouse in Metuchen last night, shared our concerns and Damani suggested we visit the brunch location in Colonia. We arrived with a diverse crowd, music Popping, and lots of good chatter. Damani greeted us, and followed through with the French Toast he told us was above all others, he was correct. The food here is amazing. Service quick, and the presentation excellent. The facility is very clean (both locations). Chef Dike was in a suit this morning/afternoon, he to greeted us and ensured the food And service were both to our liking. We will make this a regular choice for brunch on Sundays. Well Perkins, you may be for convenience purposes only. Thank you to Damani for suggesting, the server

This is going to become one of my favorite places. The food was absolutely delicious. The menu had many options and you know a place is great and the coffee is delicious. I had the lobster And cheese grits and my husband had the salmon and grits and both were absolutely delicious. I’ll be back soon.
