Alt Eats Café
622 N. Maple Ave., Ho-Ho-Kus, NJ 07423
The Alt Eats Café is an upscale eatery near our Ho-Ho-Kus homes for sale that serves everything from vegan-friendly soups, sandwiches, and appetizers to full elegant vegan meals like eggplant parmesan, polenta with mixed mushrooms, and broccoli rabe with cannellini beans. The real stars of the show, however, are their specialty cakes, cookies, and confections. These vegan treats are gorgeous and taste just as good as they look. Why not head over and pick up a cookie, donut, or muffin to go with your morning coffee?
CAVA

When you're looking for something quick and delicious to eat on the go, Sweetberry has you covered.
