Interesting brunch with an Indian flair. The home fries is curry flavored – not exactly matching my eggs Benedict.
It was full almost the whole we were there. I like the fact that we were able to open the doors though the view of the parking lot wasn't exactly exciting.
I think thy need to scrub everything there more often. The floors, counters, walls were covered with grease… I feel a little scared touching anything.
I have to say that Maplewood is SUPER CUTE. Went to see Gone Girl and right before, my husband and decided to stop in here for a coffee and dessert. Wasn't impressed with my hot chocolate. Tasted like it was out of a package. The cookie I got was a sandwich cookie with raspberry filling, chocolate dipped. The cookie was tasty and authentic. The typical Italian bakery style sandwich cookie.
I wish this place advertised more as an Indian restaurant than a coffee house. Kinda random as a pairing. I definitely wAnt to come back to try the food and hope to up my stars.
I've never been to Maplewood, but I was there this morning and I was in dire need of a cup of coffee. I checked the GPS for something close and took a chance on the Village Coffee Shop. I was a bit lost when I walked in as I looked around for a Starbucks-like menu. I was in the mood for something strong, but sweet…
Failing to find anything explaining their coffee offerings I simply went with a large cup of their house brew and a b,ack and white cookie for the kids (my son says the cookie was GREAT!). I will never understand why a place allows the people making the coffee to put in milk/cream instead of letting the customer do it themselves…it drives me nuts. So I think the coffee here is pretty good, but I can't be sure since the guy out in WAY too much cream.
Either way, the coffee did the trick and got rid of my caffeine headache…too bad I was so annoyed at the whole too much cream in my coffee thing. I can't speak to the rest of the food here, so I'll leave it at that…
This place makes Starbucks look bad! They have THE BEST coffee & even better service. Everyone that works here is always smiling and eager to help you. I always try their "coffee of the day" and I have to say 'Jamaica me crazy' coffee is 1 of my favorites! They also make a great chia tea latte. I haven't eaten here before, but I ALWAYS here great things from people in town. If your ever around maplewood stop in for a coffee. And if during the summer.. Get their iced coffee!
Eh. Can't really say anything too positive about the coffee I had here – their menu setup/selections were a bit confusing. Came on a Friday night with my wife, and some drinks were offered hot, others weren't, but the menu said they were. It was very odd. Nice atmosphere and setup of the place though, I'll definitely give them that.
The quality of the beverage was okay – I wouldn't feel an urge to come back here again for coffee though.
This place was okay, but nothing spectacular. Three of us went for a late brunch and we left fed, but that's about it. Service was less than stellar and we seemed to confuse the waiter by not ordering by number. There was nothing wrong with anything we ate, but there was nothing great either and some little things were disappointing. The "mixed greens" my boyfriend ordered as a side was really just a pile of spinach, the home fries I had were pretty bland, that kind of thing. After the high reviews made my other Yelpers, I'd hoped for more. Doubt I'd return.
Ordered the pumpkin spice latte and it was very good! Given my nut allergy, I was wary about ordering a coffee from here because they do have various drinks that have nut products in them such as peanut butter and almonds but they were clear about whether or not I could I have something from the Village Coffee Shop, which made me feel comfortable. The atmosphere is cozy and there are plenty of seats to choose from if you wish to stay or you could walk around the village too.
What do you get when you when Starbucks marries an Indian restaurant and has a baby? You got it, the Village Coffee Shop. An unexpected place serving almond cappuccinos and chicken tika masala. In the Indie-esqe downtown of Maplewood lies this peculiar place. The food portions are bit small for what you get but hey, you can finish your meal with a made to order latte!
I thought the concept was neat, but unfortunately, this place sort of missed. Our server forget the coffee and cappuccinos, so we waited 15 minutes before got it, just as the entree arrived. Black coffee doesn't pair well with this Indian favorite of mine. Was hoping to enjoy the java BEFORE the food came.
For some reason we ended with two servers, the second was gracious enough to ask if we needed something else, though she could have been a bit more enthusiastic about her job, more so than her conversation with the staff.
All in the all, the food was good but not enough good service or atmosphere to warrant returning.
