★★★★★ 5.0 Rebekah · Oct 2025

Friend’s Café in New Brunswick is such a gem! The food was absolutely delicious; everything tasted fresh and thoughtfully made. I had the avocado toast, the chicken rice bowl, and even tried a few of their homemade desserts (all amazing!). Their matcha was honestly the best I’ve ever had, and I’ve tried matcha from all over. I have to eat gluten free and deal with multiple food allergies, and I was so impressed by how accommodating they were. They had great options for me, and even the gluten free bread was delicious (which is rare!). It’s also dog friendly, which I love, and they even have a menu just for pups! They’re also willing to take special requests for desserts for parties, which I definitely plan to do in the future. Such a great find! I can’t wait to come back again soon.

Friend’s cafe always has amazing food and amazing drinks as well. We had a private event here and they provided well. One of my friends ate so much we had to stop him from ordering more (view photo attached). Small parking lot in the back and lots of street parking but kind of hard sometimes because it’s close to the middle of the city.

My (now) boyfriend and I came here for our very first date one year ago and sat in these same seats. Friends Cafe is the sweetest place to be. We met one of the owners for the first time today and he was so very kind to us. We can’t wait to come back 🫶🏻

Cozy cafe with delicious food and coffee/tea options! Highly recommend the Persian Fog with coconut milk. Others in my group enjoyed the apple pastry, cappuccino and peppermint tea. Any spot with Persian ice cream with saffron, and a furry friends wall simply is a must try! Sweet and competent barista. Highly recommend!

What a wonderful location. A beautiful place for families and their pets. Excellent espresso, unique food choices, and a friendly staff. Thanks for treating my elder father like he still mattered. We will recommend to all of our friends. Todd Diamond 💎
