What Travellers Say
Reviews Summary
Any Day Now is praised for its inviting atmosphere, making it a great spot for working or socializing, and its unique scallion pancake sandwiches and ube coffee drinks are often highlighted. However, some diners have found the coffee and other food items to be inconsistent in quality or too pricey for what is offered, with occasional issues like undercooked food.
"My sister recommended that I give Any Day Now a try and she never disappoints! The ambience is amazing and the space is very bright. There is plenty of seating options from booth style to quaint little tables for two. I ordered the Golden Turmeric Latte with Almond Milk; it had just the right amount of Turmeric in it to make it taste delicious. I will have to go back and try out their food options"

"Cool vibe! Friendly staff, and good alcoholic drink prices. Coffee and food were questionable. Unfortunately, I started eating my chicken sandwich and the middle was completely raw. 15 minutes later they brought me another. I heard the check out person telling the barista that the cappuccino should come in a smaller cup. I asked for whole milk, they must have thought I asked for oat milk. It was extremely diluted and tasted just like steamed oat milk. However, the smashed cucumbers were delicious, great flavor and texture. However, they were sliced and not smashed as described. Not an issue since they tasted so good. Hopefully I don’t get food poisoning from eating the raw chicken today. Would have been nice for them to offer some kind of consolation, especially given the automatic service charge and added gratuity that I gave for fast casual/counter service. At least they made it right by making another sandwich. But my friend was already done with their meal and drink by the time it came. Also, glad to see they are part of the in kind network."

"Beautiful space and lovely staff, but the food is horrible. My breakfast sandwich came out drenched in mayo and what tastes like kraft cheese. The hash browns were even sadder - they look just like the Trader Joe’s microwaveable patties. Everything is served in plastic (why???). Huge waste of money. I tried to scrape off as much as I could and eventually gave up to get new breakfast elsewhere."

Any Day Now bills itself as an all-day cafe, and the cozy couches and chairs near big picture windows indeed make this feel like a place you could hang out for hours (or work remotely for hours). The decor with pretty patterned wallpaper behind the bar almost feels like you're in the lobby of a fancy apartment that just happens to be serving jazzed-up comfort food. Chefs Tim Ma and Matt Sperber play around with the concept of dishes you might find in a New Jersey deli, throwing in plenty of Asian influences and flavors from across the globe as a curveball.
