Very good food and service. Enjoyed going right before a show at the State Theater which about a 5 minute walk. There's many choices to meet everyone's tastes and even accommodated our gluten free friend. Would definitely go back.
Unexpectedly amazing spot for fresh, soft, and delicious baked goods, with plenty of unique vegan options that everyone can enjoy.

This is the absolute best gluten free bread my family and I have ever had and we have tried ALOT of gf breads. We have had to order gluten free bread on many occasions from California because that was the only good one we could find, so to have an even BETTER one available right here in NJ is such an unexpectedly amazing find. It is so hard to find fresh, soft gf sour dough bread and if you’re gluten free you know how amazing it is to finally find something that is actually delicious and tastes like bread! I visited the cafe today and the staff was so helpful, kind, and generous and gave me a lot of helpful information on the bread. I will definitely be ordering more online!
Remember Cheers on TV? This cafe has that same neighborhood vibe. I've met people here I never would have met anywhere else. The couple who own the cafe are a pastry chef and her husband. I really appreciate the gluten free options! The saffron tea is to die for. There's an outdoor patio. What's not to love?
A cozy spot near Rutgers University with a lively vibe, quick service, and a great selection of flavorful, fresh options, perfect for groups.

I went to Hansel 'n Griddle at 2:45 PM on December 3, 2024. In the lunch rush. The $15 lunch included a drink. The 130 Easton Ave, New Brunswick, site is near Rutgers University. Due to restricted street parking, a neighboring paid parking garage is available. The cashier smiled and explained several menu selections. Despite the congestion, the service brought out the food quickly. Modern décor and a cozy seating area create a relaxed atmosphere. Even during busiest hours, the restaurant was clean and tables were washed down. My order took 10 minutes, which was impressive. The atmosphere was lively but not overwhelming. Chicken Quesadilla was my favorite—flavorful and well-cooked. Freshly squeezed orange juice was very refreshing. Service was fast and the personnel handled the throng well. College students love Hansel 'n Griddle because they take Rutgers meal cards. They also serve gluten-free wraps and vegetarian meals. Trivia nights and seasonal specials make it fun to hang out. Hansel 'n Griddle is a great New Brunswick informal restaurant. The food is delicious, the service is fast, and the ambiance is friendly. Perfect for a fast lunch or a casual meal with friends. I recommend the Chicken Quesadilla and fresh-squeezed orange juice to visitors. Parking is the major drawback, but food and service are great.
