5. Dunkin’ Donuts

Phone number: (973) 492-0291

What they are saying: One of the best Dunkin' Donuts in the area. Probably one of the biggest seating areas out of any I've been in the past as well as any other coffee shop.

7. Pompton Lakes Hot Bagels & Deli

722 Hamburg Tpke Pompton Lakes, NJ 07442

Phone number: (973) 835-6200

What they are saying: This is a tiny gem of a shop. It's a little local place and the owners are super nice, they remember your name and they remember how you like your coffee, so they get lots of repeat customers, locals who go there and no place else for their Sunday morning coffee and bagel. Their bagels are hand made a few at a time and they're perfect. Moist, steamy and a yeasty aroma inside, and a chewy hard crusty outside. I discovered it by accident when visiting the area, now I'll make a point of stopping by whenever I'm heading up 287.

8. Jersey Pride Deli & Catering

715 Hamburg Turnpike Pompton Lakes, NJ 07442

Phone number: (973) 831-8071

What they are saying: Best bagel spot in town hands down. They're always fresh and delicious and they always use the proper amount of spreads. Specialty sandwiches are good and coffee is average.

10. Brookside Bistro

26 Hamburg Tpke Riverdale, NJ 07457

Phone number: (973) 616-0606

What they are saying: This bistro is a gem! We were here on a Sunday and did the small plates menu with wine pairing. I cannot say enough about the delicious 5 course plates and accompanying wine. We will be back as often as possible! Service was exceptional! Thank you, Wendy and chef-husband for a great meal (and experience.)
