Bottom LineIâm reviewing based on stopping in for breakfast, not for cake. This place reminds me on those no nonsense cafes in Europe. Come in, have a cappuccino, or an espresso, a pastry, or an egg sandwich on a Portuguese Roll. Excellent Empanadas as well. A bacon, egg and cheese, a Taylor, egg and cheese, a pork empanada, two coffees, and three empanadas to bring home. $20. Iâll be back.DetailsWe live in town. We were walking by and saw a sidewalk sign that said this cake bakery served breakfast, specifically egg sandwiches. We were hungry, and there you have it. Glad we came by. Egg sandwiches are fun. Itâs just an egg, some meat (or not) and some cheese. And then you have the bread. On the wrong roll, the experience is ruined. On the right roll, egg sandwich satisfaction. A nice crusty Portuguese roll encloses crispy meat and a perfectly cooked over easy egg (yes, thatâs the way I ordered it. I love the way it squirts when you take the first bite, and then you have something to dip the sandwich in). The yolks of the eggs were dense and bright orange, and tasted like an egg should. The coffee was a classic euro brew, sturdier than standard diner fare. I guess thatâs my point. You wonât find Stuffed French Toast or a Chocolate Chip Pancakes on the menu here. You wonât have to make a choice between grande and venti or Ethiopian or Jamaican. You will get a great cup of dark roast coffee with a variety of classic Portuguese pastries (and empanadas). An unpretentious streetside café where you can watch them make beautiful cakes (once again, I havenât eaten them yet), and a delicious egg sandwich on a great roll. Cake Artist Cafe has the potential to be a great stop for commuters to catch a quick espresso and a custard cup before hitting the train to the city. Iâll be back. You should go. This is a find in Cranford. Get some tables outside, and you'll be a hit.

My wife and I tried Le Rendez-Vous Bistro for the 1st time on Sunday night. This is a very charming little BYO restaurant. You can see that Chef Philippe puts a lot of care and love into his cooking. We started off with a very flavorful lobster bisque soup, that contained huge chunks of nicely seasoned crab meat. We also had an amazingly light Escargot à la Niçoise, with Fava, Mushroom, Harissa, Tomato Confit, and Niçoise Olive. For a third appetizer we shared an excellent salad chevre which contained Blue Cheese Stuffed Date Wrapped in Bacon, Goat Cheese Croustillant Duo, Mesclun Salad, 12 Years Old Balsamic Vinegar. For entrees I had the delicious pan seared duck breast with the most amazing handmade coq au vin ravioli. My wife had the Plancha which contained pan seared branzino, black bass, red snapper, and monkfish, in a lemon butter sauce, with vegetable risotto, and asparagus. Unfortunately, we were too full for dessert, which is all homemade, and looked amazing. I highly recommend this restaurant, but be sure to make reservations, especially on a Friday or Saturday night, since there are only 10 tables.

Went here for a special birthday and was very disappointed. Small, pretty restaurant. While the service was good (except for repeatedly referring to tap water as "Westfield's finest" to every table), it seemed like they were understaffed as servers were rushing around. The food is another story, especially at the prices they charge ($70 for three course prix fixe). We had the salad and the mussels appetizer, which had a very good sauce, but the mussel meat was very unsubstantial. Salad was fine. We had salmon and filet mignon. The salmon was fine, but not 4* restaurant caliber. The filet mignon was very chewy and unappealing. For dessert we had the apricot tarte special and the Grand Marnier souffle ($5 surcharge). The tarte was very dense and thus quite hard. I would have preferred a softer version. The Grand Marnier souffle was poorly prepared and quite runny in the center. In other restaurants I have been to you always have to order souffle when you order your main meal because of the time it takes to prepare. Not here. You order the souffle when you order your dessert and it is served ten minutes later. You can make your own decision about that. Quite honestly I would not have been happy with my meal at half the cost. With one drink each it cost over $200 with tax & gratuity.

Cute, but approachable french restaurant. Byob (which is always nice), service was attentive, but not aggressive. I've like these folks since they opened the successful Les Rendezvous in Kenilworth decades ago. The menu is limited, but everything is prepared by the owner / chef, and I like the attention to detail. The food is delicious, and I sampled the escargot, the duck (the hightlight), the shrimp (the lowlight), and the lamb (delicious). The atmosphere is well...a cafe. so, clean and cute, but not homey or plush french. Go and eat. It's a bit expensive, but quality costs, and you can tell.
