illy Caffe American Dream
1 American Dream Wy, Lyndhurst, NJ
Crema's Take
“Nestled in the heart of American Dream Mall's food court, this illy outpost delivers the Italian brand's classic espresso expertise with a solid selection of pastries and macarons—though consistency with milk-based drinks seems to be hit or miss. The convenient central location makes it an easy grab for mall shoppers seeking quality coffee, and when their cappuccinos land right, they're genuinely smooth and flavorful, though service can lag during busy stretches. It's a respectable pit stop if you're craving proper Italian coffee culture without leaving the mall, just manage expectations on execution.”
What to expect
Espresso-focused. Quick-grab spot. Pastries and light food on the menu.

We were hungry when we arrived at the American Dream Mall so we promptly made our way up the Coca Cola Eats food court on the 3rd floor in Court C of the vast Mall. After our eating our food from the King Kong Express & Popeyes stalls, I went to the Illy Cafe stall to buy my…
