2 week agoI have passed by Brookwood Cafe many times. I kept saying I have to go there one day. After going I am sorry I hadn’t gone sooner. While it’s unassuming atmosphere inside there is nothing unassuming about the food and the incredible service. This is a breakfast and lunch Cafe. They have a great menu of breakfast to choose from as well as lunch. The portions of the food are sizable and the quality delicious. What stuck me the most was the incredible attention to the customers. I notice through the entire Cafe (which was packed) the detail of service being given to each and everyone that was there. Customer Service and great food is the perfect combo for a repeat customer like myself. Well done

1 month agoJeff I told you that you would be hearing from me about the Pastrami Reuben. Open face and LOADED. Honestly would be the BEST I’ve ever had. I was very appeased seeing that it was a Pastrami sandwich instead of the classic corned beef. Paired with the sauerkraut and Russian dressing it was SPLENDID. I see how you run your establishment and how dedicated you are. You have my respect. All the servers were so sweet too. I will be back for the sandwich as well as coffee, pancakes, desserts and pastries! I see why the parking lot is packed, this cafe is high quality!!

1 month agoReally like this place. Have come here several times now and do plan on being a regular. Usually come on a Saturday morning and it's modestly busy but not crazy. Came on a Sunday once and it was nuts. Food came out late and serice was absent not sure if it was a fluke that day but haven't gone back on a Sunday since. On Saturdays, the staff is super kind and attentive. The food is on point most of the time. There was a time my toast came out burnt or the waffle a little underdone (they were kind to fix) but every other time has been great. The jersey eggs benedict is probably my favorite thing here. Great porkroll, the eggs come out perfectly cooked and love the hollandaise sauce on top. Got the Kelly eggs benedict once (subbed ham with regular bacon) and that was also awesome. Fresh tomatoes, avocado, and a healthy amount of bacon with the eggs. The pork sausage is awesome here and the fried potatoes that come with the meals are always super crispy. Pancakes are great and also the waffles. Got the Chavez French toast once and it was good but it's more like a dessert. Suuuuper sweet. The hot chicken and waffles are great. Chicken comes out super crispy and juicy. The hot honey just looks like regular honey with cayenne pepper in it so not really much effort in the sauce but the chicken makes it still delicious. Not sure what's up with their regular syrup. It literally tastes like nothing. Barely any flavor or sweetness to it. Haven't ever run into that anywhere else that uses the same type of high fructose corn syrup so they really went out of their way to get the worst kind lol. Basically forces people to spend $2 for the real maple syrup (pretty obvious). Anyways like how they use Lacas coffee since it tastes great. Service def plummets when it gets busy so just avoid coming in at peak times.

3 month agoPerhaps some of the friendliest and most courteous waitresses I've ever encountered! My coffee was constantly full, and the food was good and reasonably priced. I don't live locally, but if I did, this would be a regular breakfast place!

3 month agoMom and pop diner/luncheonette with Lacas coffee and affordable food. If you're looking for fancy food, this isn't the right spot for you. If you're looking for simple breakfast and lunch food, friendly people, and reasonable prices, I highly recommend it. Tip: Save money by paying cash. The credit card surcharge (3.5%) is a clear line item on the bill.

3 month agoWe had the opportunity/honor to visit the New Jersey State in JUL_FY2024 and it was an amazing experience, a great opportunity to learn more about NJ's history and legacy. We swing by at The Brookwood Cafe, and for sure it's a remarkable place. Definitely, it's a place that deserves my respect. It was a privilege enjoy the amazing food and outstanding atmosphere. Thanks Jeff, Mr. Augustine and the all team. Good bless you!

4 month agoBrookwood Cafe, Hamilton - A Mixed Experience My recent visit to Brookwood Cafe in Hamilton left me with a somewhat middling impression. Opting for the Venetian Omelet, accompanied by potatoes, rye toast and orange juice and a fruitcup, I was hoping for a standout breakfast experience, but unfortunately, it fell short of expectations. The Venetian Omelet, while sounding promising on the menu, was, to put it mildly, underwhelming. The flavors simply didn't come together as I had hoped, and I've certainly enjoyed more flavorful and well-executed omelets elsewhere. It lacked that certain something that elevates a dish from ordinary to memorable. The accompanying potatoes were likewise unremarkable, neither adding nor detracting significantly from the meal. As for the orange juice, it was perfectly acceptable, but again, nothing to write home about. In sum, the food provided a functional rather than an enjoyable start to the day. On the positive side, the service was "ok," meaning it was neither exceptional nor particularly poor. The staff were present and did what was required, but there was no extra touch of warmth or attentiveness that makes a dining experience truly pleasant. In conclusion, while Brookwood Cafe in Hamilton offers a casual dining option, my experience with the Venetian Omelet and overall service suggests there's room for improvement. For those seeking a truly memorable breakfast, you might find yourself saying, as I did, "I've had better." Perhaps other menu items offer a more compelling reason to visit.

4 month agoQuaint Cafe. The food was very good hot and fast service. We had breakfast the staff was very friendly and attentive. The restaurant is very clean. Reminds me of an old school diner feel. We both ordered from the winter special menu I had the chicken and waffles without honey which was very good. My wife had x Benedict on ry toast. It was very good. Breakfast potatoes were just plain which is exactly how I like them. Well cooked. Definitely would return for a good quick breakfast
