There's something about December that makes me want to cozy up in a coffee shop with a hot drink and a good aesthetic. Unfortunately, not all cafes are created equally; some lack in twinkling lights while others charge waaayyyy too much for a simple coffee with milk and sugar. If you're struggling to find the perfect spot to catch up with friends, have a casual date, or bang out an essay...

Here's the best of cafes in New Jersey


1. American Bulldog Coffee Roasters - Ridgewood, NJ

First on the list, and also my personal favorite, is American Bulldog Coffee Roasters. They place at number one for not only the taste of their coffee, but the atmosphere they've carefully curated with a fireplace, multiple rooms, and the dog that occasionally wanders around. The wood and marble tables also make a great backdrop for your Instagram feed. Don't be embarrased; we've all made our friends wait to eat until we've gotten that perfect pic. While you're there, try a chocolate chip pumpkin muffin. They're vegan and gluten free but still taste like heaven.

2. Jane Cafe - Pearl River, NY

Ok, maybe it's not New Jersey, but it's close enough. Another cute space with lots of light and comfy seating, Jane is more of a lunch spot than a place to grab your morning coffee. Still, their coffee and tea is outstanding. What steals the show here is the breakfast and lunch comfort food; from soups and salads to pancakes, paninis, and amazing empanadas, even the pickiest eater is sure to find something they like here!

3. Sogno - Westwood, NJ

They may have moved locations, but the deliciousness of their crepes was definitely not affected in the process. Whether you prefer sweet or savory fillings, Sogno's got you covered. My favorite part of the shop is the crazy amount of hot chocolate and coffee flavors they have. It ranges from crowd favorites like vanilla and caramel to even sweeter red velvet, cinnamon bun, and samoa. Someone grab me a mug!

4. The Corner - Montclair, NJ

What can I say besides I'm obsessed with this place? From the decor that looks straight out of an HGTV show to the specials that bring something new everyday, The Corner always has great food and good vibes (just look at the sign on the wall). My regular dish is the burrata toast with strawberries, but less adventurous eaters will enjoy their breakfast favorites and shoestrings fries. Don't forget to try their homemade sodas and coffee drinks.

5. Sook - Ridgewood, NJ

Last but not least, one of my favorite places to get amazing pastries and desserts, is the small but charismatic Sook. The little cakes and colorful macaroons will have you pulling out your camera immediately. Have a bigger appetite? The crepes are to die for. All the coffee drinks will fix your winter warm beverage craving, but make sure to try the frozen hot chocolate, too.

18 Things I Want To Do Now That I'm 18

I'm technically an adult, so I'm legally required to live a little, right?

For the entirety of my high school career, I was always seen as the goody-two-shoes. I never got in trouble with a teacher, I kept stellar grades, and when I wasn't doing extracurricular activities, I was at home studying. Even when I did go out, it was usually with a bunch of fellow band geeks. The night would end before 11:00 PM and the only controversial activity would be a fight based on who unfairly won a round of Apples-to-Apples when someone else clearly had a better card (I promise I'm not still holding a grudge).

Now that I'm officially an adult, I want to pursue some new things. I want to experience life in a way that I never allowed myself to do prior to entering college. These are the years that I'm supposed to embark on a journey of self-discovery, so what better way to do that than to create a bucket list?

So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.
