“ We love the Crystal Cafe and have been going since it was "The Mixing Bowl" and love the new place. It's a quaint atmosphere, the food is great, it's reasonably priced, and the waitress was so sweet to us. We look forward to coming back! ”
“ Crystal Cafe is a delightful spot that perfectly captures cozy, quaint vibes. The charming atmosphere makes it a wonderful place to relax with a cup of coffee or enjoy a leisurely breakfast. The breakfast menu offers a great variety at reasonable prices, making it easy to enjoy a tasty meal without breaking the bank. The staff is friendly, and the service is efficient. While the cafe can get a bit busy during peak hours, the overall experience is worth it. We waited a little over 15 minutes for a table for two. I ordered from their specials the Apple fritter French toast which was amazing and so delicious it did not need syrup or butter. I opted for a side of bacon which came out so nice and crisp. I also ordered a side of hash browns which were well seasoned and crunchy. My friend ordered the scrambled eggs platter and was very happy with her portion size. We both orders lattes one just regular and I ordered the blueberry matcha which didn't taste like blueberries but was still delicious. Our bill was under $40 and it was a great meal and I would stop by again if I was in the area. Highly recommend for a relaxed, affordable breakfast in a warm and inviting setting. They have their own private lot however the spots aren't marked so as long as people park reasonably there aren't any issues finding a spot! ”
“ Great value for money. My favorite dishes were the cheesy grits and the mac n cheese. We ordered the kids mac n cheese and it was super creamy, and came with fries and a drink. My friends really enjoyed the country fried steak--the eggs were over easy and the gravy was tasty. We thought the fried fish could have had less breading and been more crispy, and the tacos could have been more crispy as well. The portions were huge and almost every dish came with fries on the side. Great spot in Vernon NJ area if you're looking for some comfort food. ”
“ Quiet breakfast spot close to the ski resort. Well priced dishes with a large amount of food. Would recommend the "lumberjack slam" for anyone looking to leave full! The wait staff was kind and responsive to any needs as well! ”
“ Nice little place friendly staff ! Food was good decent portions Will definitely go there again. ”
“ Nice little and local Café with indoor and outdoor dining. Very friendly staff. Reasonable prices. Great place for a tasty and quick breakfast or brunch. I recommend adding salt pepper and ketchup to their home fries though. But other then that i have always had a delicious breakfast here. Their Coffee and Latte's are really good too. I recommend. ”
