Vale's Kafe is, without question, the best brunch in North Jersey!! The food here isn't just great—it's always delicious.

Hello my Foodies! I normally don't give 5 stars all around. But this place gets 5 stars all around. First time visiting this corner coffee/Cafe. It was very simple decor but felt welcoming. The owner Pablo was super kind and he talked with us about the restaurant and the food and how they make it. His love of food and his restaurant was very apparent in his service and kindness to his guests. The food we had was a chorizo omelet and the waffles. I normally don't care for waffles but dang! This was good! Even the coffee was such a lovely presentation and the taste was good. The food menu is small but there is something for everyone to try. They have a different menu for brunch and dinner and from the weekend to the weekday. If you are in North Bergen please stop by to visit. Again it is a

Vale’s Kafe & Kitchen has always been my favorite brunch spot since I moved to NJ 3-4 years ago (don’t sleep on the steak and eggs!). So when I heard they were doing a pop-up for dinner I had to go. The dinner was amazing and exceeded my expectations- we licked every plate clean. The owners truly love what they are doing and you can tell by how delicious their food is. A local gem!

The food was amazing! If you’re in the area, don’t hesitate to stop by. This hidden gem has super friendly staff and is definitely worth a visit. This is review #2 with added pictures since Google only allows me to write one review per business.. If you ever have the privilege of dining at this restaurant, don’t forget to say hi to Pablo, the owner—he’s truly an amazing human being: kind, personable, and passionate about what he does. We were just there yesterday and tried the crab cake from the specials menu—it was honestly one of the best I’ve ever had. I have no idea what ingredients he uses, but I hope he never changes the recipe! My husband ordered the steak and eggs and said he was transported to another place. 😆 I’m almost hesitant to write this because it’s such a hidden gem, but

This is a hidden gem in UC! The steak was SO savory and perfectly cooked. We wanted everything on the menu so I had the steak and eggs and my daughter had the avocado toast and we shared the waffles and each others dishes. :) It was too much so I took some to go. The coffee latte (they had oat and almond milk as dairy alternatives) is was PERFECT. The worst thing for me is when coffee is watered down but this one was strong. Definitely a good coffee to start it off right!! The bathroom was tiny but very clean. Extra points there. The service was too notch. Sosa was the right amount of attentive and cleared the dishes and had a calm attitude. I never go to UC as I despise how condensed it is but for this place, I would go back.
