Awe & Wonder in Tenafly delivers an experience beyond just great coffee. The ambience is warm, beautifully designed and inviting, with soft lighting, comfortable seating, and chill music that makes you want to linger. The drink menu is impressive, offering everything from great drip coffee, smooth cold brew, espresso drinks to creative options—each made with real care. What truly elevates the experience is the staff: kind, attentive, and genuinely professional, creating a really welcoming atmosphere. A rare find that gets everything right.

That was one delicious Matcha Einspanner! Missing this place already as I write this review. It was my first time trying that drink and I really enjoyed it. The sweet cream was perfect and balanced well with the whole drink. Even the coco powder was good lol Their Peace coffee was lovely too! The added “actual” smoked rosemary was a very nice touch and made the drink aesthetically pleasing - loved the smokiness it brought. My first rosemary latte was when we visited Portland and so Im happy to enjoy another drink here. The indoor decor was nice and clean and had that minimalist vibe which worked. It’s good to know the cafe can cater both small and larger groups as they have a bigger table available. There is both street parking and a lot at the back as well which was convenient. The pastries that we had were also very good. Hopefully I could try the rest but so far we enjoyed our canele and madeleine. Nice and polite interaction with staff too (whom I guess was the owner?). Cant wait to go back!

Had A&W on my must visit list for about a year and finally visited this week! Ordered matcha drinks and they were great. Super high quality tea with prominent, deep earthiness and not too sweet! Friendly service, chill atmosphere, beautifully designed, and flooded with natural light. Will definitely be back when I’m in the area again :)

This has got to be one of my favorite cafes ever. They have somehow managed the trifecta of what makes a cafe wonderful in my opinion. It's got deep, strong coffee and other flavorful drinks, it is aesthetically pleasing, and it manages to create this relaxing, quiet environment even when filled with customers. It's a place I return to time and again. I am uncertain if they have always closed on Sundays or not, but I wish they open on Sundays.

One of the best einspanners in Bergen County! Theres always a few people doing work or having conversations. The staff is friendly. If you’re looking for minimalistic and aesthetic vibe this is the place. For someone with a sweet tooth, I enjoy the Lotus Biscoff Latte and Matcha einspanner ☺️

Best coffee in north jersey! I got the matcha and latte espanners and they were soooo good. The “cold foam” is really thick and sweet.

Feels like a NYC cafe with the aesthetic and upscale, creative drinks. We tried the Peace Latte (rosemary infused) with soy milk and the Orange Jeju Latte. They were both pretty good. The rosemary was subtle and smooth and not overpowering. The everything croissant was good but not the best I’ve had. Blueberry muffin was also good. Definitely would come back.

I’m a Matcha girl decided to try the spot because I found it online. Let me just say did not disappoint. The inside of the decor is super minimal and neutral colors gives almost LA/Rick Owen vibes definitely love. Matcha was super strong, but very delicious highly recommend.

I love and appreciate a good cold foam latte, and WOW Awe & Wonder did not disappoint! Probably the best cold foam iced latte I’ve ever had. It was so good that we also tried the hot version of the Joy latte. It had great coffee flavor, but I personally prefer the iced version. I’ll definitely be returning and trying their other specialty drinks. && the pastries- DELICIOUS !! The atmosphere is aesthetically pleasing and the baristas are very nice and attentive.
