I have enjoyed this gem for over 15 years now. I order so frequently they know my voice when I call in my order.. They staff couldn’t be nicer, the food always tasty and hot, just the way I like it. Children are spoiled if they like trains. All the decorations have the train theme and there is even an entire G scale layout that has model trains running on the weekends weather permitting of course. They have an outdoor seating area plus a wooden train set for young children to play on. And since it’s near the NJ transit railroad, you may, if your lucky, see a real train roll on by.
As far as masks, many of us are wearing them due to numbers of Covid-19 going up. So wear a non cloth mask while around others because other viruses are going around too. Stay safe everyone and thanks for reading my review.
Great little cafe. Come for the ice cream, stay for the operating train layout in the front yard! Great spot to spend an afternoon.
Their fun train display for the kids made a great outdoor activity while inside options are limited!
The prices are inexpensive and the food is great. They also have seasonal ice cream flavors. Such a nice place to bring the whole family. You can eat outside on the benches while the kids play on the wooden train or they can watch the toy train go around the track circuit, all while the real trains whistle by at the station. It's a great location and a nice atmosphere, a local gem.
After seeing a posting on a local info site, we took the kids here for breakfast. Our kids LOVE anything trains and Waldwick Whistle Stop was exactly that plus it's located near a train station, so for the kids, seeing the real NJ Transit trains pass by was awesome. Furthermore, they have miniature train tracks set out on their yard with beautiful hand painted buildings. Oh, the food and the staff was hands down one of the best I've had/met in a while! My wife and the kids also loved the food. My son loved their sandwich so much that he actually asked a second! Waldwick Whistle Stop is our new favorite and we're sure to frequent it now for lunch and dinner (depending on the day of the week)! It was a bit early and we were full so we have not yet tried their ice cream. I can't wait to go back!
So I'm actually from "Down the Shore"--what ya'll folks in Waldwick call the beach towns--and I had taken the train via Secaucus to Waldwick to pick up a nice left handed guitar.
So I'm kinda hungry gettin' off the train and I go to get something and *unfortunately* the grill closes at six so be aware, but I totally understand why they do that, that's the end of prime time for the train trade.
But anyhow I'm kinda bummed and I think, well let me get a milkshake anyhow. So I get a chocolate shake and a cold pepsi for the ride home.
WOW! The shake was *thick* and chocolatey and smooth and delicious. Right now she's got this young fella she's training so that made me feel good because its good that young kids will still go out and get a job and somebody will take a chance on a kid and give 'em one.. The kid'll be fine, he can make a milkshake okay.
Oh, and the Pepsi! It was *ice* cold frosty. Man that hit the old spot. Cold and sweet and good.
amazing service and delicious ice cream!
