Café Angelique of Tenafly, New Jersey, USA/Review by MessedRocker

''Review written by MessedRocker

Café Angelique, a small restaurant and pastry store, is not much different from the sorrounding downtown Tenafly. The interior is beautifully decorated, with mozaic-designed tables, calm tones painted walls and ceilings, professional photographs lining the wall, and the feeling that you belong there all wrapped in a seclusive dining environment. This is just the start.

Once you are seated, you are greeted with courteous staff, who will bring you what you need in a short amount of time. The restaurant specializes in breakfast, salads, sandwiches, and pastries. (In fact, an entire partition of the restaurant is dedicated to these succulent éclairs and other desserts and pre-wrapped sandwiches). I had ordered the Chicken Pesto sandwich, with juicy chicken and creamy pesto sauce on fougasse, priced at $7.95.

When I have received the sandwich, I couldn't of been more excited to try out this treat. I was right to be excited. The chicken and the creamy pesto sauce assemble together to form a union of flavor beyond description. This went along well with the warm fougasse bread, which perfectly held the bread together. A small warning, though: the side garden salad served with it is not that great. Fortunately, the sandwich more than compensated for it.

On my way out, I ordered a chocolate éclair from the factory, priced at $3.20 each. It was the perfect conclusion to the perfect meal. The service, atmosphere, and food are the reasons why I am putting this restaurant on the whitelist.
