This is a lovely little cafe with special organic coffee imported from Italy and grown by the owner's family there. Try the fresh lemonade or the 'hot toddy made with fresh lemonade, ginger, and cloves. It's a great spot to step away from the rat race to enjoy a hot drink and something sweet. Live music on Sundays. Browse the cafes tiny gift shop for some lovely and unusual items. Everyone is so friendly...lots of locals stopping for a cup.

UPDATE: Unfortunately permanently closed now The coffee is outstanding, the pastries and other items offered for sale are fabulous. A beautiful place with porch seating in the summer. Do yourself a favor and come here.

Outstanding local spot. Perhaps the best croissants in NJ and the coffee is magnificent (the family roast and import their own blend from Italy - old school). The food and drinks were really great, couple this with friendly owners, a stunning wrap-around porch to enjoy the live Sunday music and this spot is a winner. 10 out of 10.

One of the best, if not the best, almond croissants I've ever had! Delicious lattes! Lovely coffee shop -- there's nothing like it in the area. We loved it and will definitely be back.

Came in knowing service is slower, but I must say, it's worth the wait. They are not messing around with their pastries or coffee here. Almond croissant was so delicious, the donuts were good, the coffee is awesome. Guy even steamed my half and half so sorry to wouldn't cool the coffee. Like Italy!

It's my first time here and it won't be my last. This is a great cafe located in the heart of Basking Ridge. I had the iced coffee and it was amazing. My wife enjoyed a great coconut latte. The outside porch is perfect for sipping an early morning caffeinated beverage.
