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.

It’s a small cafe located inside the American Dream Mall, but they have a good selection. There are various macarons, cupcakes, croissants, and other baked goods, along with a wide range of coffee options. What stood out the most was how friendly the staff were. It’s right next to the food court, so it’s a great spot to grab a coffee after a meal or while taking a break from shopping.

Illy cafe was almost right at the center of the mall. Very close to kids play area and few other shops . We looked at the ice cream and decided to order one . Service was very slow :( had to wait for a long time ! Billing was slow too. Ice cream taste was good. They also sold carbonated drinks . Good experience overall . 4 stars . ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Conveniently located inside American mall.. fantastic products and great service. Nice and quick and very helpful staff . . Parking in the small is a big headache and also time-consuming, especially on weekends and peak hours… the mall is slightly away from South Jersey and Central Jersey within an hour drive.. It’s still worth a visit once in six months…

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 wife a large cafe latte with just one shot of coffee, a large English breakfast tea and a slice of their delicious tiramasu cake for me, which came to very reasonable total of $20. My wife had said she didn't want any desert but she ended up eating the tiramasu because it was so good and I had to go back and get another slice just for me, which cost another $9! The really friendly & helpful server laughed when I told her that the extra slice was just for me as my wife had eaten the first one all by herself🤣 We enjoyed the drinks & tiramasu so much we returned to the cafe to have the same drinks and another slice of cake just before we caught our bus back to NYC and we were served by a different but equally helpful & friendly server. The food court and the vast mall didn't have many visitors when we went on a Wednesday, so there was plenty of seating at and near the cafe.

Convenient and ideally situated in middle of food court. Decent selection of pastries & sweets. Cappuccino came out smooth & flavorful. illy really knows their coffee and I prefer this over many other top franchises. The peach pastry was delicious and I couldn’t get enough of it. Each bite made you wanting more. Nice spot to rest after all the shopping
