When you stop by American Bulldog Coffee Roasters, do not forget to pet Delilah, the cafe's resident bulldog. Belly rubs are part of the price for this cafe's delicious biscotti, excellent coffee, matcha lattes, and anything else from the menu that is served by a friendly barista including the chai tea, scones, cookies, and muffins. All items are made in house and there are gluten free items available, as well.

Feel free to curl up with a good book or use the free Wi-Fi as you sip on your favorite drink and dine on your favorite pastry. There is plenty of seating and even a private seating area if you need to have a quick meeting or take a personal phone call.

American Bulldog Coffee Roasters is open 7 a.m. to 5 p.m. weekdays and 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. weekends.

Next time you find yourself hankering for a cup of coffee, try American Bulldog Coffee Roasters. This Ridgewood coffee house roasts its own beans, buys only fair-trade coffee, and offers a menu of organic fare. If you stop by in the morning on your way to the office, be sure to pick up a buttery croissant or blueberry muffin along with your cup of joe, and if you're stopping by around noon, be sure to order a cup of soup (varieties change daily) and a grilled cheese sandwich or slice of quiche.

If you have time to sit down and enjoy yourself, however, regulars suggest you head straight for the tables near the fireplace. If it's chilly outside you'll be able to warm yourself up near the cozy fire, and like all good coffee shops, American Bulldog offers free Wi-Fi, so you'll be able to catch up on your email or post to your social media accounts with ease.
