Safwa Coffee & Teahouse

After my parents went to Safwa a few times, I decided to try it with them to see what it's like. And I have to say I'm quite impressed. The outside is a bit unassuming, but once you step in, you can enjoy the stylish, tasteful interior. It was crowded but we were able to find a table, and it didn't take too long for our orders to be ready. The drinks were all great. The French Toast Latte actually tasted like its namesake, not just a vaguely cinnamon-y latte. The Brown Sugar Shaken Espresso was refreshing & sweet. And the Vanilla Nutmeg Matcha was a seasonal treat. We weren't too hungry and split two items: the Hummus Toast and Pistachio Baklava. Both were great too, and the toast in particular surprised me with how well every component came together. The best part might be that the pri

Safwa is the kind of place you walk into and immediately feel like you’ve stepped into someone’s thoughtfully curated Pinterest board—warm arches, soft neutral tones, and pockets of cozy seating perfect for solo studying or a midday catch-up. I came in hoping to try one of their fall specialty drinks, but most of them were pre-mixed with spiced toppings like cinnamon or nutmeg. I asked if any could be made without and was told they couldn’t separate them out—so I pivoted and went with their Spanish Latte with oat milk (no cinnamon), and I’m honestly glad I did. It was smooth, just the right level of sweetness, and the espresso flavor still came through. For food, I tried the chili cheese croissant warmed up. The croissant was buttery and had a satisfying flaky crunch, but I do wish it ha

This place is truly one of the best cafe spots in NJ. I love their coffee. Their flavors are rich. Food is okay. Their matcha is a hit or miss for me. Limited seating available. Clean bathroom. Available prayer area.

Everything we tried here was really good. The atmosphere is warm yet professional, making it a great place to sit comfortably and get work done. The menu is well thought out, and the latte was excellent — it had a distinct, refined flavor that clearly sets it apart from standard coffee. You can truly feel the attention to quality. Definitely a place I would confidently recommend.

Such a cute little cafe with the perfect ambiance and interior decor. The staff is super nice and seating is comfortable. Definitely recommend the Spanish latte. The Fall menu currently has a Banana Harvest latte which is amazing. I definitely need to go back and try more of their drink menu as well as the different food and pastries they offer. Now for my standard comments. Location is very clean and well kept. Seating is comfortable and plenty of option to sit next to others or slightly separated. Parking is a lot and free as it is in a small shopping plaza.
