    I have tried their banana, vanilla, & guava lattes here and they are so good!! I have gone a few different times already with my husband and son and each time everyone is super kind and friendly. They make you want to go back over and over again! 10 out of 10 recommend!

    Best coffee and pastry spot in Rutherford! Delicious espresso because they small-batch roast their own beans. They freshly bake croissants daily. It's a great family-owned business. They're always very friendly!! Can't recommend Ara highly enough!

    Excellent cafe! My husband and I have been going here for years. We have moved away from the area but whenever we're close we make sure to stop by and get coffee. The owners are absolutely lovely. We love this place so much.
