Cj's Cafe - Fresh Meadows

The staff is very friendly and the food is good. However, the price is very high for what you get. Even if you look at inflation, it's quite expensive.

Ordered breakfast for my wife and I, to see what the ratings are about. They have some of the freshest tasting, perfectly made sandwiches.

I found this place on yelp and I was really excited. It's a tiny place, with a few small table for seating. I came in for lunch and got the Homemade baked chicken, avocado, cheddar, and chipotle sauce. It's a panini pressed sandwich and it was good, wouldn't say excellent. Chicken was a little bland, chipotle gave it a nice spicy tingle The avocado, cheddar, and chipotle sauce made up for the blandness of the chicken so that was good. Prices are decent. The sandwich was 7.95. I would definitely come here again and try out their other menu items.

The best sandwich spot in town. I’ve tried a few things on the menu and the Chicken cutlet hero is my go to. Extra toasted bread. You can’t beat the price for the portion. I recommend stopping by for a coffee and sandwich for a quick lunch. The service is fast, efficient and the staff are all very nice.

When we arrived around 2:15 or 2:30, the once-imposing vertical blinds were open, allowing much more light into the interior. It has the potential to feel like a greenhouse with the sun streaming in, although it wasn’t too bright during our visit. I ordered a burger with fries, cheese, bacon, lettuce, and tomato. On a scale of 1 to 10, I would rate it a solid 7.5. For comparison, I rank McDonald's at 4.5, Burger King at 5, and Wendy's at 5.5, so this burger was definitely an upgrade from those fast-food options. The fries were the thin, small kind, and they came with plastic utensils. While the fries were a bit overcooked and hard, they were still enjoyable to eat with my hands. Overall, I would definitely return, and I anticipate coming back frequently—it's been four years since my last visit. From the outside, the restaurant looks uninviting, mainly due to the vertical blinds that obscure the view inside, especially on the north side of Union Turnpike with the harsh sunlight. The menu is short but includes comfort food options and homemade soup, all of which looked appetizing. During my last visit, I enjoyed a bagel with cream cheese and coffee. They also offer free Wi-Fi and even some outlets for plugging in laptops. The café is called CJ's Café, and you just need to ask for the Wi-Fi password. The staff is friendly, making for a pleasant experience!
