Merve's Kitchen and Bakery

"I went with friends. Food was good and filling and presented cleanly. Atmosphere was beautiful too, with tall windows perfect for sunlight and easy piano music. My friends had mixed reviews on their drinks, but I personally liked mine (Dirty Chai). I got a small, but it was such a considerable size, like some places might charge you for a large for the same oz. Additionally, a good price, I attached a picture of the cup, which was filled to the brim, and for $4.95 nowadays it’s a bargain. My main issue was the Shakshuka. Again, delicious food. However, the pricing was a bit strange. I ordered a Veggie Lover Shakshuka, which is $10.95. I also wanted Feta, so I wanted that extra. Notice that the Shakshuka is $10.25, and the Shakshuka with feta $10.75. You would assume feta must be 50 cents, right? And that for feta in addition to a Veggie Lover Shakshuka is 50 cents plus $10.95. Look at my receipt. The extra cheese was $2.00. This just seems weird and inconsistent, and when I discussed it with a worker, the worker says that the system automatically charges $2.00 for extras and that they couldn’t set individual prices. Additionally, it seems they forgot the mushrooms and spinach for my Veggie Lover Shakshuka, which comes with peppers, spinach, and mushrooms. However, the workers remedied this when I brought this to their attention, providing extra bread as well. Overall, lovely place with good food, but weird pricing systems that are a bit shady in my opinion. I’d recommend this place, but don’t buy extras since they’ll charge $2.00 for a sprinkle of feta."

"I’m so lucky with the job I have that I’m able to eat at a different places on different towns , even different states ( NY/NJ) every day, and this particular spot made me feel so comfortable, so welcome, hard to described but it made me feel like I had been here dozen of times. anyways, the service west excellent I order something very simple scrambled eggs with cheese and crispy and it was cooked to perfection, I suggestion will be if they can have the coffee a little more hot. but overall, I still give them five stars."

"Adorable hidden gem with friendly service. The breakfast was a 10/10 and so beautifully plated too. The pancakes are uniquely and especially delicious. Highly recommend!"

"I had the most wonderful experience here, i made a order of cookies for my boyfriend online and because I'm out of the country the owner was able to bring the cookies to my boyfriend's house. She baked the tastiest and most delicious peanut butter cookies and also wrote a lovely note on the box as my request. Very kind and sweet woman and amazing service. Thank you so much Merve's Kitchen. I'm very pleased and i definitely will recommend you stop by and try it or order online! You will not be disappointed"

"Cute, quaint and happy little bakery and cafe. Great space for a quick treat or to meet friends for coffee. They have the most amazing little nooks and plenty outlets so you can bring work with you should you need a change of scenery. I love the mix of American and Turkish treats plus the great selection of tea offerings. Definitely reccomend."
