L
ittle Food Café is a staple in Bayonne. The café at 330 Kennedy Blvd., located at the corner of 9th Street and Kennedy, is a longtime hotspot for breakfast, lunch, baked goods and much more in the downtown area. Open from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m., the café offers breakfast until 10:30 a.m. each day. Dinner is served starting at 4 p.m. Except for Sundays, when the café is closed. The café is a family effort, run by mom and daughter duo Cynthia Van Decker and Lisa Kushnir. But there are multiple generations working at the family restaurant, including Lisa’s daughter Zoe. The family ambiance gives the café a personal and homey feel. The interior is carefully curated with rustic décor, and plants wherever they can fit. The atmosphere is warm and inviting, perfect for an intimate breakfast or lunch with a friend or family.

Locals recommend it The menu features a number of local favorites, from the chicken pesto press and BBQ turkey burger press, to the southwest club and Thanksgiving wrap. I personally sampled the Thanksgiving Wrap on recommendation of several residents who frequent Little Food. It features roasted turkey, mashed potatoes, turkey gravy and cranberry sauce on a toasted wrap.
