Cafe Archetypus 266 Old River Road, Edgewater, NJ 07020

"The vibe here is really cool! Ordered the Sante Fe salad and the chicken gyro platter. Both were pretty good. The portions are huge and the prices are great too. The whole restaurant is built like a cave and they have cute and cozy little booths. We didn't order dessert but they are known for eccentric dessert options (half of the menu is dessert and milkshake options). The food was good but not great. I'd come back to try dessert. The menu is like a hybrid of Mediterranean and Mexican food."

"It’s a pretty decent place to check out. The decor of the cave seating is nice and definitely picture worthy. I also liked the privacy of it. May be a little too private since service was hard to come by. Food was decent, though I think could be improved. The lemonades were really tasty, and their desserts are huge (definitely big enough to share). We had the hummus appetizer, chicken quesodilla and chicken gyro for entrees, and apple pie and tea for dessert. One thing to note is, they charge $10 per person as a reservation fee which is supposed to be deducted from the bill. They didn’t deduct the $20 when they brought us the check so I had to flag the server and bring it up to her so she can remove it. I would have assumed this is something they would be diligent about seeing as that is the agreement when placing a reservation. So if you’re here with a reservation, definitely ensure you take a look at your bill to make sure it’s been properly adjusted before paying."

"For the sake of the review I have to let everyone know about the service- but we will discuss that last as it’s the only Con. Very unique atmosphere and a great dessert menu make this place a must visit. The food menu has a mix or Mediterranean, Mexican, and American fare. I had the Greek salad and Chicken Gyro. Both meals were great and huge portions. The dessert menu is where it’s at though.. We order a coco demon and a fire lavender chocolate (hot chocolate with a spicy subtle aftertaste.) I def recommend both. Service was the only issue, but I’m guessing it was either very busy or short staff. Overall I would visit again for a nice coffee and dessert."

"Unusual spot. We went for dessert and boy did we get dessert. Very big and very yummy! Decorated like a "tropical cave". Great for a romantic date."
