JINYA Ramen Bar-Totowa

Love the vibes here! Its in a barn/ranch looking building & each room has its own character and charm to it.
The food is yummy & the drink menu is amazing full of specialty cocktails. Def recommend this spot for a date night or group dinner!
The Barrow House
Went here for a bday dinner & everything was delicious! The vibes were great even in the winter! Would love to go back in the summer when the outdoor part is open.

Carlos Bagel Shop
Got their crispy chicken ceasar wrap with chips & salsa. 100/10 so so good one of the best wraps we had in a while. Ask for a side of dressing to dip in to make it even better!

LA COSTA - LAVALLETTE (@shorebagels) - Instagram
The BEST banana bread latte we have found & the little piece of banana bread on top is to die for. 10/10 reccommend but be prepared to wait like 30 minutes if you go on the weekend they are definitely not the speediest but so worth it.
Roast Coffee House
This spot is so cute & has an entire record room! Friendly staff and even had a lil dj setup at the counter. Its a bit hidden (under a valley medcial group drs office in paramus & you enter through the back by the parking lot).
