Lokal Coffee & Co. 103 Miln Street, Cranford, NJ 07016

"Went with his and for a quick breakfast and coffee. Friendly staff, quick service and nice atmosphere with large bright front dining area. There is also a more secluded seating in the back. We ordered the plain waffles, grilled cheese and a cappuccino. Grilled cheese was ok. The waffles were overly crispy on the outside and rubbery and chewy on the inside. I thought it may have been a bad batch but having read other reviews since, it seems to be the norm. I'm surprised that they haven't changed the recipe and cooking process after a few notable reviews. The cappuccino is really weak, almost as if they made it with regular coffee instead of espresso. Disappointing since it would have been nice to have an alternative coffee option since Track 5 can get really crowded."

"My overall experience was that the coffee and food isn't the priority as much as the vibes and presentation. The person taking my order was pleasant enough but after I ordered came and said they aren't doing pour overs, it was 11am and it's a coffee shop, and what was supposed double esspresso was closer to an Americano. I ordered the berries and cream waffles as my meal. It came with plenty of berries and vanilla yogurt. The waffle itself was disappointing, it was very hard to cut through and chewy, not sure if it was over done or a bad batch of batter. For the price($15) it seemed expensive to what felt like 2 dressed up eggo sized waffles. The dining room was half full but we got our drinks quickly and food within 10 minutes."

"Kiara and Karen were super friendly and excited to describe with detail my drink and pastry questions. I loved it so much I went few minutes early to my appointment to have time to stop by Lokal and enjoy some quiet time while having my breakfast."

"Nice place :) I love their pretty interior design. Very cute and chairs and cup stand. The glass for iced coffee is cute, too.(pineapple shape :D) Many people enjoyed their time with kids. My friend and I order iced coffee (so we don't know about their food) which is not too special but not bad. I think their closing time is too early. I hope they can have later closing time."

"Tuesday lunch time wait was not ridiculous We received our drinks under 10 minutes and had our food within 15 min. It’s not a fast food joint / chain so I don’t expect my meal within 5 minutes. The bathrooms are clean, plenty of space to accommodate people and family friendly environment. The food and coffee was good, no complaints. Will definitely recommend and come back for more."
