  Coffee Break is a great place to go to for studying. It's a quiet atmosphere with good food that's not expensive and quick service. They have free wifi and overall, the staff is very nice too. I would recommend this to anyone who's looking for a quiet place to get some work done.

  Excellent spot for coffee and sandwiches. A lot of meats are imported from Italy and the quality speaks for itself. I've been searching for a quaint little shop like this in Hackensack for a while now so I'm happy to see the revitalization of the neighborhood.

  I saw a yelp review with the same complaint that I have. First, the Pros: I've been going to this coffee shop since it opened, and the drinks here taste wonderful WHEN MADE BY THE OWNERS or their relatives. The owners are wonderful - friendly and very kind. Their desserts, which they bake themselves, are delicious. The Cons: Every time someone else is hired to work for them and the owners are not around, these employees completely ignore the instructions that I have definitely seen the owners give them, repeatedly. For instance, the employee pours a shot into a plastic cup, with nothing else inside (really bad because it can melt the plastic), or pours a shot over just ice, then searches for milk all over the place, at which point the shot and ice have melted, making the drink very watery. Or the employees mix iced coffee and shots together? I'm not sure what that is. Lately, the male employee there makes extremely milky drinks, with 99% milk and almost no coffee or espresso. When you ask for the rest of the shot to be put in, he does so but then charges $1.25 for the coffee/espresso that should have been in there in the first place. Also, even though I have seen the owners tell him the price that he should be charging, he thinks I do not understand the language they are speaking in and tells me that he is supposed to charge me more. I have now completely stopped going to this coffee shop because I am afraid I will encounter one of the employees instead of the wonderful owners, which is really unfortunate. I guess my takeaway advice is that if you're looking to get coffee or espresso, make sure to visit only when the owners are there.

  I stop in to Coffee Break occasionally and have always had a good experience. Try there crepes, they have never disappointed. I do wish they would play some light music in the shop, sometimes it is a little too quiet in there.

  Great little coffee shop in downtown Hackensack. Management is very nice and make a great cup of coffee. None of those weird sugar based drinks you get at Starbucks, just great, well made (not burnt like Starbucks) coffee.
