Reviews for True Salvage Cafe in Maplewood, NJ
Eclectic decor to enjoy and experience while waiting for your order. The menus are at eye level by the cashier, which I very... much appreciated. I ordered the melted roast beef sandwich; it was delicious. It had the right amount of roast beef so thesandwich could keep its structure. Caramelized onions added a hint of sweetness to complement the mustard and cheese. Thecibatta bread was perfectly toasted and the right thickness for the meaty sandwich. Overall, great tasting sandwich and willdefinitely come to try their other sandwiches. Read more
I ordered a bacon egg and cheese on a plain toasted bagel . The wait time is a little long , the guy on the phone told me 20... minutes . I received my food after 25 minutes . But I will say, even though they toasted the bagel a little bit harder then Iexpected, it was still very delicious . Everything cooked perfectly and fulfilling for my late breakfast . There was beautifulPastries there that I noticed other customers ordering and a nice ambience . I was in a rush but will be back to taste some ofthe items ! Read more
Really nice interior design, the only thing I would change are the things out front of the window. The reason why I never went... earlier when I would walk/bike/drive-by was that it was hard to see what kind of place it was by just looking in. As far as thefood goes what I had (hummus wrap) was quite great, however, it was the only single item on the vegan menu. At this point whenI go to cafes, there are usually a decent handful of vegan and vegetarian options, but they were lacking here. There were plentyof options that could have been made available if they carried either beyond or impossible meat alternatives(previously saidburgers). Overall, great food and atmosphere, but would like to see a few more options. Read more
More than just a cafe. Terrific food and baked goods (and a great coffee selection). Visually interesting, plus many of the... antiques are for sale! Read more
First time here and got 2 sandwiches. Their Taylor ham, eggs and cheese was great (tried it elsewhere and didn?t love it but... read reviews about how True Salvage has the best Taylor ham sandwiches and it truly did not disappoint!) Their Sausage, eggs andcheese is one of the best I?ve had in a long time (for frame of reference, I?m used to the ones you get from corner bodegas inBrooklyn that are simple yet delicious!). Easy outdoor seating and interiors feel like you?re at an antique shop. Willdefinitely be back! Read more
I can only rate based on the Croissant special I had, when I came in early afternoon they told me they were out of croissants... so I'd have to pick a bagel or bread which at first bummed me out but during the 5 minutes I was waiting a new batch ofcroissant came out the oven and they were able to make my sandwich. The coffee was okay. My friend had the Taylor, egg andcheese and said it was good but he wish he had gotten it on a bagel instead of the bread. The cafe is so dope those, I love theantique salvage vibe. Read more
How have I not written a review for this place yet?! I try to limit my True Salvage visit to 1x a week! I absolutely love the... food and the people. They have specials everyday but don?t forget to check out their daily menu! My favorites are the dailyroast beef, cheesesteak, and chicken salads, any anything with mushrooms it?s mozzarella ???????????? I ????recommend thisplace. They are this upscale neighborhood cafe with awesome food, amazing people, and cute decor! FYI they also serve some ketofriendly dishes for those watching their carbs???????? Read more
Excellent food. Be prepared for a wait on the weekend (it's worth it, but just call ahead). I feel like most people go here... for the brunch/breakfast but the lunch menu is not to be missed either. Cheesesteak has to be one of the best in the area. Andto top it all off, the sweets they have are also on par with some of the best bakeries in the area. You really cant lose here. Read more
