New Jersey is known for having a diverse dining scene – something we love about the Garden State. Whatever type of cuisine you’re craving, you can find it here. From Britain’s bangers and mash to the most amazing Portuguese food this side of the Atlantic, we’ve got you covered. You can transport yourself to China at Hunan Taste in Denville, enjoy traditional Ethiopian fare at Mesob in Montclair, or sample some of the finest Greek dishes at Olympia Restaurant in Vineland. If you’re looking to take a culinary journey to Italy, we’ve found the most authentic cafe around.

Coffee Break is a modern cafe with a major Italian influence.

Panettone is a popular Italian dessert, often served at Christmastime. Made with candied fruits, this mildly-sweet treat is a perfect addition to any holiday party. Coffee Break offers several sizes, including this MASSIVE loaf.

Though the Nutellino is a fan favorite, any of their coffee selections make for a scrumptious sip. You've never had more authentic cappuccino, unless you've been to Italy!

Another Coffee Break perk is the free wi-fi, so come on down for the Nutellino and stay a while to study or work. The owner is friendly and always goes the extra mile – you’ll often find him keeping the place open outside of posted hours to accommodate customers. You can find this Italian cafe at 71 Main Street in Hackensack. You can learn more by visiting their Facebook Page here.
