Delicious cafe with beautiful decor and unique Latin flavors. The drinks are fantastic and the Spanish bites unique. We loved the amount of bakery items available as well.

Truly an awe inspiring family run coffee shop. Incredible ambience. One of the best all around coffee shops I’ve visited in the entire state of NJ. All the coffee including their specialties are delicious. Great food including sandwiches, the empanadas, puposas and every dessert in there is incredible. Best of all the staff and Sabrina are the nicest and most welcoming people you will find. Highly recommend you check out this gem in Downtown Cranford NJ.

I've been to Palmas twice since I first found out about this adorable café and it hasn't disappointed yet. I love the atmosphere, its super chill, family friendly, laptop friendly and just an all around great place to sit, relax and enjoy some good coffee and food. Everything I've tried from here is top notch. My current favorite is the collagen crush latte but again everything I've tasted has been amazing. Palmas is fast becoming one of my favorite places to go.

Cute cafe, nice addition to downtown Cranford. Great spot to sit with your labtop and chill, plenty of seating & plug outlets nearby. Nice selection for their drink menu, although as a non-coffee drinker I wish there was more variety (the avg coffee drinker will be fine lol). We ordered a chai latte & Panela latte - both very nice and smooth. Many pastry & baked goods options and lite breakfast sandwiches. I recc asking for your pastry to be warmed up - they all look lovely (except for the croissants, sorry!) I wouldn’t consider coming here for brunch (due to lack of brunch menu) but it’s great for sipping on a bevi & having a lite treat. Prices are on the higher end, also I didn’t see the drink prices anywhere??

Sets the standard for what a local cafe should be: fun seasonal drinks, delicious bakery items, friendly staff, and a neighborhood vibe. I ordered the pumpkin pie matcha (loved this twist on the fall pumpkin drink), along with a Philly cheesesteak empenada. I also tried the pistachio scone, which has the perfect texture without being too dry. It does have a delicious frosting on top so would recommend it with a less sweet drink so you don’t get a sugar overload. I also got the Nutella cruffin. It's like a mini cinnamon roll and the texture is phenomenal. Its layers make it so fun to eat too. 10/10
