Salad House opening new Central Jersey restaurant in Metuchen

METUCHEN – A new Salad House restaurant is scheduled to open this week at 660 Middlesex Ave. A social media post indicates the restaurant will open Nov. 13. The Salad House menu includes salads, wraps, soups, grain bowls and smoothies, along with sides such as zucchini sticks, quesadillas, cauliflower bites, french fries, hummus platters and sweet potato fries. The restaurant also offers vegetarian, gluten-free and vegan options. Salad House was founded by Joey Cioffi, whose family owns a deli in Springfield, where he learned everything from washing dishes to preparing large catering orders, according to the restaurant's website. Cioffi created Salad House to offer fresh, fast-casual food that was healthy and family-friendly. He opened the first Salad House in Millburn in 2011, followed by a Morristown location two years later. In 2016, entrepreneur and restaurant operator Jerry Eicke became involved in the business. The two reached a franchising agreement and opened a third location in Westfield in 2017, according to the website. More: 68 apartments, retail proposed for downtown Metuchen The chain also has a Central Jersey location in New Brunswick.

Cafe Exchange brings an anti-tech coffee shop to Berkeley Heights

With minimalist decor, clean lines and neutral colors, most modern coffee shops brag about their tech-savviness. But Cafe Exchange in Berkeley Heights, which will celebrate its grand opening Nov. 15 in what was formerly known as Connell Corporate Park , is touting the opposite for those who are tapped out from AI, smartphones and screens. Instead, the new two-story social hub, now open at 500 District Drive Suite F, features a library with vintage books and a book exchange; a craft room with a typewriter and a "Mr. Deeds"-inspired greeting card-making workshop; a game nook; and an all-day cafe with century-old European lounge seating. Hours are 7 a.m. to 3 p.m. Monday through Friday and 8 a.m. to 3 p.m. Saturday and Sunday through Nov. 14. Beginning Nov. 15, hours will be 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. daily. More: New South Amboy pool hall wants to make pool cool again Cafe Exchange’s anti-technology focus extends to other concepts launching at its home in the District at The Park, a walkable main street being built with 160,000 square feet of retail, dining and entertainment space. The cafe, one of the first concepts to open in the new destination, is an anchor,
