This is from their everyday menu. I was craving something sweet for breakfast and this was sounding pretty good. It was basically a dessert and was oh soooo yummy. Decided to indulge and nearly ate half. The cream on top tasted like it came straight out of an Oreo but BETTER! This place is great

This place is a great spot for breakfast! The food is delicious, the staff is friendly and it's a very cute place! Food always comes out so quickly. Highly recommend going here for brunch with some friends or family! I got the pork tostadas last time and they were flavorful and a very generous portion. Would order again!

One of my girlfriends has been wanting to try this place for a while now, and we finally made our way there on Memorial Day. Definitely make a reservation online if you can, because the place was busy. There was outdoor seating, but it wasn't available because of the weather which added to group wait times. I ordered the dirty vanilla chai as a drink, and I really enjoyed it, but my friend thought it was too sweet and exchanged it for a regular latte. I ordered the classic combo and we shared a full stack of french toast (3 slices for the 3 of us), and I had no complaints about anything I had. The service was also friendly; I'm glad we checked this place out!

Fantastic little breakfast spot. Unique twist on traditional dishes. Decent size portions for the price. Only complaint is the beverages. $4.00 for a coffee and $5.00 for an orange juice? Come on! Waite staff seemed a little rushed. Food all tasted great though.

We had a great breakfast at Cafe Seventy Two! The restaurant is just off of the highway in Ewing making it easy to find. It's unassuming outside but cute and very nice inside with great decor and great service as well. It was busy with good turnover time without feeling rushed at all. All of our meals were delicious. We picked a bunch of sugary items but the great part is that they were not overly sweet, the balance of sweetness, flavor and ingredients was perfection. The coffee and latte were very good as well.

2 words - Yum-Mee! Had the blueberry and cream french toast - wow, this was incredible. Also had the rocket bowl - the portion was substantial and so flavorful. We had to wait a little bit for a table, this place is pretty popular, but it was well worth the wait. Solid brunch spot. Food tips: Blueberry cream french toast, rocket bowl.

The reputation is deserved. After a mediocre dinner the night before, my top tier chums and I needed a comeback for breakfast. I noticed this highly rated establishment not too far from our Airbnb, and that was that. Cafe Seventy Two is on a pretty busy thoroughfare and easy to spot. We stopped by shortly after they opened (that was also a consideration - we looked at a few places in Lambertville but we're unapologetic early birds so if you're not opening your restaurant before 9AM dot dot dot), secured both a parking spot right by the entrance and a table inside quickly. They did have a pleasant looking outdoor area in front too, but the siren song of air conditioning was too strong on this particular morning. I saw no reason to get cute, and went with my favorite breakfast entrée, the classic Eggs Benedict. Delicious and hit the spot in a way that only happens if you were a bit naughty the prior day with a few birthday cocktails. There was honestly nothing that truly set this apart from the myriad of Benedicts on brunch menus throughout the lands, but it didn't have to be particularly complicated - it was dictionary definition perfection. The home fries that accompanied the dish were excellent as well. At $13, the price point is competitive for the area (especially taking into consideration the Delaware River tourist traps just to the north). We also continued our breakfast tradition and strategically ordered something sweet to share. This time we selected an option from the specials menu, the lemon ricotta donut holes, which I believe came with a blueberry compote or close to it. Absolutely awesome. Optics-wise we were initially a little confused (I think we were all expecting something more yellow befitting the lemon designation), but once we bit into the donuts, everything made sense. I imagine the key to this item is not overcooking/frying (however donuts are magically prepared for us), and these definitely were not. The texture was excellent, and the compote paired perfectly. Unsurprisingly, the service was fantastic as well. Our waitress was friendly and attentive, and everything we ordered came out in a timely fashion. We weren't in a rush, but we were still in and out of there pretty quickly. It was starting to fill up a bit as we left, so we may have also been the beneficiaries of an early mealtime. If you can't wait an extra hour or two to feast on the weekend (or even if you can), this is a strong recommend.
