61 Union Blvd, Lyndhurst, NJ
Crema's Take
“Akar Cafe is a warm neighborhood gem where the owners genuinely care about every cup they pour and every pastry they serve, with consistently beautiful latte art and croissants that locals rave about. The cozy, thoughtfully designed space invites you to linger with a cold brew or matcha tea, making it equally perfect for a solo work session or a family outing with people who treat you like regulars from day one.”

My favorite coffee shop! The staff are absolute sweethearts and take the time to make each drink both delicious and beautifully crafted. I highly recommend stopping by for one of their signature lattes and their phenomenal croissants. I tried the tiramisu latte, the Biscoff latte (pictured), and the chai—every single one was a 10/10. The Wi-Fi worked great, there was plenty of space to work, outlets were easily accessible, and parking was super convenient. A perfect spot for both coffee and productivity
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 5/5 Absolutely loved this local coffee spot. The croissants were incredible — super fresh, buttery, and honestly some of the best I’ve had around here. The iced coffee was smooth and perfectly made, topped with just the right amount of whipped cream and caramel. The whole place has a really calming vibe: relaxing music, cozy decor, and a clean, bright atmosphere that makes you want to stay longer than planned. It’s the kind of café where you can unwind, enjoy good food, and just take a breather from the day. Highly recommend stopping by. This place is a gem 👍🏼
One of my favorite coffee spots to go to when I have some down time. I recommend coming here because they are always consistent with their presentation and the owners are so lovely. This place is so lovely and cozy, they don't mind you taking your time enjoying your drink and finishing up some work if you need to. Highly recommend.
Thank you for such a lovely experience! My family and I stopped in for coffee and were so impressed by the beautiful decor, it felt so cozy and welcoming. Whoever designed this cafe did an amazing job! The coffee and muffin were absolutely delicious, and the wonderful service and kindness made it even more special. We truly enjoyed our visit and look forward to coming back again soon!
Very cozy coffee shop! The pastries look and taste amazing, great coffee too. The owners were very friendly and the atmosphere is very relaxing. Will come back any time I’m in town!
