Crema's Take

Nestled right on the water in Lyndhurst, Boathouse Cafe is a genuine neighborhood gathering spot where regulars earn their own signature sandwiches and everyone from kids to grandparents feels equally welcome. The cozy waterside setting pairs perfectly with their solid coffee and tea selection, homemade pastries, and casual lunch options like chipotle chicken wraps and quesadillas, making it the ideal place to linger with a warm cup while watching the pond. There's something special about a cafe that feels this lived-in and loved—the kind of place where the friendly smiles and nautical charm make you want to come back again and again.

Went for lunch on recommendation from a friend, and regular. He's even got his own sandwich, and that's what I tried. Essentially the Caesar chicken wrap with chipotle sauce instead of dressing, on rye, panini pressed (ask for the "John", not on the menu). Also grabbed an espresso. Total was about $15. Generous portion, very delicious. Could not recommend this spot enough.

This is an eclectic place. It is for everyone from the young to the elderly. If you want to have a spot of tea or a hot cup of coffee or an cool refreshing drink. This is the place for you. And for those who love to play games try Jenga or Uno while enjoying a hot crossiant or treat. Enjoy!

I love the Boathouse Cafe in Passaic Park. The park is beautiful and the boathouse is cozy with great atmosphere. I love to take a walk in the park then stop in the Boathouse for refreshments. Hot chocolate, sodas, cookies, sandwiches, and other goodies on the menu. Winter, summer, fall, spring. Year round great stop to make. Love to watch the ducks on the pond. In the summer there are three large spouts on the pond. Further down the park from the boathouse is a great children's playground with summer water spouts for the children to run through.

What an amazing place in a great location, stop in for lunch or dinner and be greeted with a warm atmosphere and friendly smiles. The coffee is out of this world and the food is perfect. I highly recommend.

LOVE this place! it's on a pond/little lake which is fun to walk around to get a little exercise. they have coffee/tea & sandwiches and quesadillas as well as ice cream. i also like the ship decor. it's quite spacious inside and there is a little outdoor area when it's nice out. dog friendly. i tried rollerskating around the park but the pathways are a little too bumpy for an amateur like me.
