Turning Point of Paramus

Turn into this unassuming find! Turning Point sets the bar for creative and downright yummiest selections! I guarantee you’ll not only order an entree but at least one to share because you’ll never be able to make up your mind. For example, the thoughtfulness of coffee cubes in the cold brew shows that the details make the difference! Our server/ barista Shannon was outstanding! Not sure how she was able to juggle so many orders with such grace and genuine warmth. The atmosphere is comfortable and airy despite how busy it can get at times. Note: although there is a wait to be seated, it is worth every minute. Guarantee this will be a breakfast/brunch/lunch go to.

This place is a nice place for breakfast/lunch. Nice setting and very modernized look on the inside. Decoration is cute and boozing. The atmosphere is giving home vibes because of their design. Staff is really nice and polite. Clean environment and not too loud for it being fairly busy. There is a wait time typically like 20 minutes so just an fyi. The food is also really good and tasteful.

I’ve been here a number of times (more than 10) on the weekends and during the week. Bright, clean, and open space. Great food and very friendly service!! Management also does their best to make sure everyone has a good experience. Of course, they have busy times and larger parties have to wait a bit, but that’s not unusual for any of the good and popular places in the area. Definitely in my regular rotation of favorite breakfast spots!

The food is SPECTACULAR here as well as the huge special drinks. The portions were fantastic. The food was perfect the french toast was cooked to perfection as well as the omelettes. the avocado toast had a nice amount of avocado nice tomatoes and yummy seasoning. The hot chocolate was FANTASTIC i cannot get over how good it was for an amazing price. The s’mores coffee was also very very very good. They have the sweetest staff and the cutest restaurant. The staff was very attentive and very quick with the food.

Overall 3 starts but the rating for me seems to vary based on the day of the week and time of the day one visits. My husband and I first tried this place on a morning of a weekday and were super impressed: service was excellent and on time, food was good, French press house blend coffee was great. Based on this initial experience we decided that this would be our go to spot: after going there two more times since the first one, I can say that we will not be returning there, at least not on the weekends. The last two times we went there were both on the weekend: service was slow and the order did not come correctly (missing a few pancakes 🥞) and it took them another 30min to correct that, French press coffee was served already pressed and it looked like dirty water rather than good quality coffee, there were grease fingerprints on the water glass.. This initial 5 star and then two consecutive 1 star experiences suggest that this place is not equipped to handle busy pace of the weekend. I hope this changes but I will be on a look out for new reviews to decide if I want to take a risk and return there again.
