Humphrey’s Coffee is a small cafe which offers a variety of drinks, pastries, and desserts. Junior Cayla Sul is a frequent flyer of the little shop.

“It’s really convenient to go during my free’s. I even find myself choosing Humphrey’s over bigger chains like Starbucks and Dunkin. I prefer the food and drinks,” Sul said.

Sophomore Reese Schulman shares a similar love for the small coffee bar.

“While Starbucks and Dunkin can’t be beat, I like the ambiance better at Humphrey’s. When I’m with my friends or need to work, I’m more likely to choose Humphrey’s,” Schulman said.

While Humphrey’s is beloved, sophomore Zara Wiley’s personal favorite restaurant in Haworth is NatuRoll Sushi. They are a family owned business which strives to serve traditional Japanese cuisine. Their menu consists of types of sushi, sashimi, udon, and hosomaki.

“I go there a lot with my family. I love crab rolls and I think they have the best one out of all the sushi places around here,” Wiley said.

Haworth has so much to offer ranging from cute coffee shops to high quality pizza places. Sophomore Emma Wagner visits downtown Haworth to enjoy Italian cuisine at Alessandro’s. Their menu consists of soups, salads, pizza, pasta, calzones, sandwiches, and other traditional Italian dishes.

“My favorite place in downtown Haworth is Allesandros. I’ve been there a couple times with my friends for pizza,” Wagner said.
