It’s very difficult to find restaurants with gluten-free items. It’s much appreciative that they have gluten-free waffles and pancakes on the food was good.
If you're expecting a large assortment of the ubiquitous bakery offerings, this place is not for you. The selection, while fairly small, is flawlessly executed. I bought apple cake, gluten free cookies, gluten free scones and other goodies on the advice of staff-- all in all, seven different things. I didn't need the staff's encouragement. Every single thing looked, and was, superb -- right down to the latte. The apple cake jas me in a choke hold: not sweet, moist, tinged with vanilla and cinnamon and utterly ridiculous in its simplicity. I went back for a second, then third. Having grown up in Europe, these are the kind of sweet treats I miss most: not laden with sugar but with vanilla, cinnamon, almonds, walnuts. I live 50 minutes away and will happily drive back to get my fix. The staff is knowledgeable, pleasant, friendly. And the baker is too tier!
Quaint little spot. Great staff very friendly. The breakfast sandwich is amazing it’s my go to. They offer gluten free pancakes. Coffee was very good. Definitely stop by if you’re in the area. It is street parking so keep an eye out for an open spot.
Went back today, they roast their own beans! The coffee is smooth with a robust flavor. Let's support our local small business owners!!!
I have passed this place hundreds of times. Today I walked in and found my new favorite place for coffee! They have alternative milks and gluten-free banana bread. Awesome tasting decaf! Run to this place! Can't wait to go back
Gluten free coconut/chocolate macaroons are to die for. The chocolate chip cookies are so addicting and the pour over coffee is just great. Do yourself a favor and make this spot your go to.
Mambo is EXCELLENT!! It's definitely worth a visit to Rutherford if you're in the area. The atmosphere is lively and music that will transport you straight to the Caribbean.
One of the standout dishes at Mambo is their empanadas. The beef, chicken, or phily cheese-steak are definitely a must-try!
My FAVORITE is their avocado salad. It's a refreshing and healthy option that features ripe avocado slices, mixed greens, cherry tomatoes, and a zesty dressing. It's the perfect balance of flavors and textures, and it's a great way to start your meal. There are also plenty of vegetarian and gluten-free options available, so everyone can find something to enjoy.
The service at Mambo is always friendly and attentive, and the prices are reasonable for the quality of the food. Overall, if you're looking for a fun and delicious dining experience in Rutherford, you can't go wrong with Mambo!
