What they are saying: The first thing that made me walk into this lovely place was the decor! It sits on the corner and beacons you in. Th dark wood, the couch and openness invites you in. The owner is friendly and the food is on point! I love the grilled salmon sandwich and sweet potato fries. I have gone in with sets of friends and we all love the wraps, desserts even the hot chocolate it awesome. I think they will be around for a long time!

2. Leilo's Sweet Shop

No address listed South Orange, NJ 07079

Phone number: (973) 666-3489

What they are saying: I had the honor of meeting the owner and got the chance to place an order for 2 batches of her heaven in a jar. First her cherry cheesecake heaven in a jar is just amazing. It had such flavor and so moist it was unbelievable. I'm sad I only ordered 1. Her 2nd flavor was a chocolate peanut butter cup cheesecake OMG was that so delicious. My husband who doesn't eat cheesecake said it was very good and soo tasty he said I'm keeping this jar. Can't wait to order some more jars. These jars are worth the money and even worth me finding a way to jersey to get me some more heaven in a jar. Everything was very moist, delicious and so fresh. If your in Jersey and need yummy cakes in a jar or treats or yummy cakes make sure you check her out.

Phone number: (973) 762-7077

What they are saying: I've been here many times over the last year and can safely say that the best dishes on the menu are the penne pesto and the delicious lamb burger. This is a local brewery so it's highly recommended that you try some of the home brews. My favorite one is the Bulldog blonde. The bananas foster dessert is the best one on the menu and should be tried. Atmosphere wise, this place has everything going for it. Air hockey table and darts make up the game area and a plenty of decorations to look at while eating. the staff is mostly friendly and very attentive to your dining. All in all, your trip to South Orange would be incomplete if you did not visit this historic bar and a visit to it is highly recommended.

Your typical diner, except the portions are HUGE and the menu is really vast! Awesome for late night or morning brunch. Highly recommend Belgian waffles, paninis, and any of their burgers.
