Great vibe in an office/industrial building. The ube pastry is a must! Filled with cream, fluffy and delicious. The almond pastry was mediocre (not enough puff, it was very flat). Coffee was good although would’ve like a pour over. Come here to chill with friends, settle in to work a few hours or just grab and go.

A fantastic coffee shop and cafe - an oasis inside a large office building. Lots of available parking. The menu is innovative and there are some unusual coffee drinks and pastries. In addition, the music is indie and unusual. There are also magazines to browse from around the world.

This place was top notch and truly a hidden gem. The seating is amazing and the whole vibe in this place is so enjoyable. The guys behind the counter are very friendly and extremely knowledgeable about the coffee and their products, which you don’t find very often. The food was delicious, I came with a big group and we all got different food items and passed them around to try. Nothing disappointed! I had an iced vanilla latte with half and half and ube cold foam and I loved it. I have tried many coffee shops in bergen county as well as around new jersey and this just made its way up to #1 in my rankings. I will be going back really soon! PS if you are using GPS to get there really pay attention, it’s in the bottom of an office building and very easy to miss the turn!

The staff were freindly and knowledgeable. They have a variety of drinks and pastries along with pre-made items such as sandwiches and desserts. The live DJ sets a wonderful musical atmosphere. Thumbody also has take home coffee beans for any coffee lover! We enjoyed our stop for breakfast on our way to Edgewater. This is a must on any coffee/ pastry lovers list.

Hidden coffee gem in Paramus. It’s far more than a coffee shop with amazing drinks with different variations and types but also sells homemade baked goods. My favorite being Uber Pandesal (purple yam bread roll filled with cheese). It also has cold wraps and drinks if you’re on the go. However, this coffee shop goes above and beyond by playing amazing music. They even have a “hidden” record room. It’s all around very spacious as well with great lighting. The walls of one side is all glass so you can enjoy the view of the sun or weather. They even host events such as “Chess Club” which has involved into many different board games. Lastly but most importantly, the staff is amazing. Always with a smile and will hold conversations and laughs with you. Obviously the owner(s) must be doing something right. Go experience it yourself.

Thumbody is a one-of-a-kind, out-of-body, experience. The lattes are the perfect amount of sweetness and their pastries (especially the ube cake) are immaculate. Of course, the best part is the hidden record store, which taking a couple seconds and rubbing the walls to find the door make the part of the experience. I even found one of my favorite records, Janis Ian’s Between the Lines, for just 4. Such a steal.

I really liked both the ube cheese pan de sal and guava cheese pan de sal. Nice ambiance especially the records room. Friendly staff that assisted me with my indecisiveness when it comes to choosing coffee.

Vinyl & coffe, good ambience with Dj playing vinyl records while having a cup of coffe, pastries are delicious, plenty of parking space. Recommend getting the blueberry almondine. This spot is a hidden gem, service behind counter was great & prompt. Do get here early as they start running out of pastries and the choices start to dwindle torwards the end of the day.
