The Barista’s Touch 66A Park Avenue, Hillsdale, NJ 07642

"Anthony and Julia were so nice! It was my first time there today and I was blown away by the friendly service. I got an iced cookie butter latte and it was so delicious. I think it’s incredibly important to have a locally run coffee spot in the Hillsdale/Bergen County area that is passionate and super knowledgeable about everything coffee. There is a focus on European style coffee, and the decor compliments the menu—it does have the vibe of a cozy Italian home. A lot of the syrups and water used in the brewing process are made in-house, which is super cool. There’s a clear dedication to the art of coffee and friendly customer service and I’m glad this place is here. I really recommend this place to anyone who loves coffee or a warm and welcoming place to work or hangout in. You will not be disappointed!"

"Absolutely love coming to the Barista's Touch. First off, the coffee is out of this world. The owner, Anthony, really knows his stuff and takes coffee super seriously. Despite the seriousness of his product though, he is a very friendly and warm guy. The place is designed similarly to a bar, and it's a very communal space. Every time I go there I meet such wonderful people. There are more "private" type seatings like a traditional coffee shop, but the appeal of this place is very much in how good the coffee is combined with the friendly atmosphere. Very much in that elusive "third space" vibe you may hear that America is sorely missing. The coffee is all very well made. There is a double RO system and they build their own water profile to ensure the best flavors. Everything down to the ice is custom for their coffee. I'm usually a black iced coffee only guy, but I've been letting the owner pick for me whatever he wants - one of the few people I'd ever trust to let just go wild with my coffee - and I've never had a bad drink. Even the drinks I think would be sweet (and I hate sweet coffee) are perfectly balanced and never too sugary or too syrupy. This place is my favorite find of the past year, and I'm very excited to return again soon."

"This is an amazing coffee shop. Not only were Anthony and Krista the most down to earth and kind hearted people, but the coffee here was amazing too! Most syrups they use are in-house made, which makes a world of a difference in the taste. The highlight of the experience however, was upon asking for my at home barista latte art, they allowed me to come back behind the counter and teach me some tips and tricks to get their level of art at my home as well, a treat I will truly never forget. If you’re ever in the area or can swing by, definitely check them out!"

"The Barista’s Touch is the perfect addition to Hillsdale! The owner, Anthony, is extremely knowledgeable and passionate about his craft. He provides a warm and inviting atmosphere to his cafe. All his syrups are homemade and delicious! His pastries from Cream Bakery are super tasty too! If you’re looking for a one of a kind coffee experience, make sure to check the shop out!"
