My husband and I bike ride frequently on the Columbia trail and have stopped in here a few times. The first time was random we ran in for a bottle of water. The second time we went in for iced coffees but the older woman was either in a bad mood and annoyed, if I ask her questions about the coffee..do you have flavored iced coffees not a hard question to answer. My husband at the time said he would pass and get a water but than changed his mind so I asked her to add another iced coffee, she got annoyed again and said why didnt you tell me that in the fist place. I couldnt believe her attitude...I said because he changed his mind. She rolled her eyes and I paid I wanted to say something but I thought she was just having a bad day so we went over to add the cream and sugar but the cream was empty. We both looked at each other...I asked my husband to please go ask her because I didnt want to hear her complain and of course she yelled at the girls in the back your supposed to check the serving area and they brought out the cream. We added the cream but soon after we went to use the liquid sugar which is in a plastic bottle we couldnt believe to find black mold around the inside of the rim and floating on the top...disgusting!!! We ended up using the sugar packets and decided if we ever go back we will only purchase bottled water since for some reason some of there bottled iced teas are 11.00...Yes 11.00...the funny thing is she warned me before purchasing it...do you know this is 11.00?? I was shocked and asked her if she was serious, whats in it liquid gold its a standard bottle of green iced tea. I pay less for 48oz of Pomagrante which is 10.00, its so wrong everything in there is over priced and the employees looked annoyed too. I will continue riding and going to the country store down the street.

We just used BEX for the catering of our daughters wedding in Maskers Barn in Watchung Reservation. It was an unusual wedding setup having the serving tables and the wedding in the same carriage house. Bex did an outstanding job of setting up before the wedding a beautiful display of flowers, linens, and crates in such a way that it seemed to be part of the wedding decorations. They have a wonderful eye for esthetics. Our daughter has multiple dietary issues that Bex embraced without flinching. We had a taste test at their storefront and everything was so delicious that we could not decide. I think we ended up ordering everything we tasted. They even took a carrot cake recipe that our daughters had struggled with getting right, especially the icing. Bex ACED it. Everyone at the wedding loved the cake, wanted the recipe and had no idea that it lacked dairy and eggs and white flour. I originally found Bex at a barn event fund raiser in Tewksbury NJ where everything tasted great and the food was elegantly presented. This was a very large event and included seafood tables, barbecue, passed hors deuorves and every other culinary delicacy. In summary, I have personally witnessed a large and and a small catering event. And a carnivorous extravaganza and a dietary challenge. All were executed with precision, esthetic elegance, and flavor virtuosity. I want to mention also that in dealing with Becky and Joan, and all the staff at Bex, we always felt relaxed, important, and confident. There were no snags…only unexpected delights.

Its always a pleasure to come in. Staff is always polite and friendly. I personally like the strawberry blonde. I do not know her name yet but shes awesome. The food is great. And they have a very good selection of organic - fresh food everyday. Its worth the drive and money

I always feel like the person making my coffee has never made coffee before and has to get instructions from someone. They seem to be way more focused on catering than being a quality place to get a cup of coffee. Food is decent, but nothing to go out of your way for.

I love this place! Eating locally grown food is a big deal to me and a major selling point. Their food is very fresh tasting and they have good coffee. Sorry the person below me had a bad experience but everyones always very friendly to me when I go. Thanks guys!

A diamond in the rough. So nice to find this gem. Delicious food served in a great atmosphere. The staff could not be nicer. Yet there is not a hint of pretence. My overall impression in a word: wholesome.

Bex is amazing for every meal of the day (although dinner is only available occasionally though the supper clubs). Have never had anything there that wasnt delicious.

A special place. Great for breakfast or lunch. If they still have their special dinners they are very good.
