Every time I interact with the tall young Korean lady with blonde hair that always wear the hair clips at the establishment, the service tends to be less satisfactory. While the overall service is usually good when I visit, she always gives out the impression that she doesn't want to be there. In a customer service-oriented industry, being friendly, smiling, and saying thank you to customers is essential. Even when I thanked her for my latte, her response was a curt "yep". It's unfortunate because the place itself is delightful for enjoying coffee but I don't think me or my friends will ever come back here.
Crowed place with Asian community. The ambiance is pretty good but it was very loud inside and no privacy at all. Their hot drinks are bit okay and didn’t find anything special here. They serve drinks in to go parer cups. The croissant and brownies were not fresh and tasted like frozen once’s. This is just a coffee place. Overall it was a bit okay place.
Caffe Bene is one of the one of a kid cafés you do not come across often. Containing imported original South Korea products, to almond-chocolate French croissants, to the classic bubble tea and macarons, this cafeteria meets the customer with tons of surprises. Located in the city of Fort Lee, it is a popular place for locals to eat breakfast at, but not only that, I've seen people from other cities come here as well. Guilty being myself. Want to travel to a new breakfast location but don't know where? Try Caffe Bene. P.S the sofas are super comfortable.
Absolutely loved the taiyaki when I first had it in store. Therefore, I had to buy it to go when I went again.
Taiyaki- super hot once it comes out. Super crunchy on the outside and chewy on the inside. If you did takeout, still good to eat throughout the day. Recommend to eat on the same day rather than saving it for the next day. Doesn't taste as great nor crunchy.
[Fyi I bought Nutella and my bf liked the custard]
Also the honey bread was really good as well. Crispy and crunchy on the edges while the inside was super soft and sweet.

First of all, the seats are VERY LOW. I believe the seats near the walls may be a bit taller --- but just fair caution, if anyone is above 5'9 --- the chairs take a bit of getting used to.
Friends and I came to get some dessert after some good korean bbq. We got the Matcha (Green Tea) Bingsu and the Strawbanana Waffle (yes, that's how it was spelled.).
After placing the order, the Bingsoo came out fairly quickly. The texture of the ice was literally shaved....it was so delicate. I loved the texture...the matcha taste went amazing with the red beans; I give it the ultimate asian dessert compliment: "NOT TOO SWEET". It was wonderful.
The downer? Suprisingly, the waffle! If you like waffles, sure get it --- but it took a while and although it was crispy, boy --- was it tough to cut through to share! THE STRUGGLE WAS, INDEED, REAL. And a struggle to eat stawberries and bananas with chocolate sauce and whipped cream? I could pass on this struggle next time.
My advice? Stick to the bingsu and the drinks --- they offer a lot of coffee options! Great comfortable place to hang out with friends after work, or after school.

This is a very cute cafe with great food and drink as well a sample seating. The aesthetic was very nice and seats very comfortable.
It was busy when we went ,but the line moved fast and got our drinks quick. They have a nice selection of buns and pastries as well as coffees and other drinks. I got a hazelnut hot cocoa.
There was a little jewelry shop inside as well and a lot of seating. It is very nice and a great place to meet up with people or do some work.
Highly recommend!

This is an absolutely charming cafe located within easy walking distance of a very high speed electric car charger. I stopped for coffee and a fresh hot waffle drizzled in Nutella. Absolutely delicious, charming, and fabulous service! Highly recommend!
3 stars only for their coffee and interior. Nice place if you wanna do some work. The ice cream was amazing but the waffle was too hard.
