Support Local, Support Community

Over the years, this little mom & pop operation evolved into the premier boutique importer of Japanese tableware and lifestyle goods in North America. Now, a third-generation family business headquartered in NJ, MIYA continues to bring the best of Japan home so you can too.

We had always hoped to open a flagship store for MIYA. After living in Princeton for a couple of years, we realized this was it. The charming storefronts in town, the cosmopolitan yet family-oriented community, and the draw of a very short commute all helped make Miya Table & Home happen. It’s true what they say, when you shop local, you are helping someone realize their dream.

As a family business, we have always cherished warm gatherings of family and friends. Despite our current environment which makes that much more difficult to do, we are adapting and learning every day – especially to appreciate the little things. Whether it is takeout from your local restaurant, home cooked comfort food, or even a quick bowl of cereal before your next zoom call, every meal or snack should be enjoyed to the fullest. Good food is the ultimate expression of love and nourishment, so why not use tableware that you love too?

Beautiful. Simple. Fun. That’s Miya.

Co-founder and CEO Marc Katz was hard at work in a Wall Street job that he says “didn’t have a lot of heart” and was itching to do something entrepreneurial and meaningful.

After spending long hours creating the customink.com website, it finally went live and has been working ever since to bring our customers together. After being an online company for almost 19 years, Custom Ink expanded into stores to become a part of the communities we were helping bring together.
What sets us apart? It’s our commitment to helping our communities express what brings them together. We’re not about just ordering custom products, we truly believe custom apparel can ignite a sense of belonging and connection.

Our authentic small plates, house-made specialties, small batch liquors and extensive craft beer selection join with a carefully selected wine list to present Winberies’ guests with a unique, hospitable dining experience.

Located directly across from Princeton University in Palmer Square, Winberie’s Restaurant & Bar has served the community, college students and visitors since 1984. The restaurant’s long-standing “Princeton Pub” personality and casual atmosphere is reflected in the popular, friendly bar and in the interior décor featuring artifacts and photographs of Princeton history.

First, we have strived to offer a wide selection of quality, imaginative toys and books for all ages. To this end, we’ve travelled the world in search of the most beautifully designed and finely constructed products available; we’ve frequented toy fairs and gift shows to stay up to date on the newest and coolest items; and along with our friends and families, we’ve personally tested nearly every item on our shelves. In an age of media saturation, it has been our hope that such a carefully selected array of creative, enriching and let’s say it – fun! – toys and books will serve as a reminder to step away from the TV or computer screen.

Second, as a local independent retail store, we have aimed to strengthen and sustain our community. We’ve always stressed the importance of shopping locally in order to preserve healthy and functional neighborhoods and we’ve built our business around human connection. We know many of our customers by name and take pride in the highly personal shopping experience that jaZams provides.

We are devoted to developing direct relationships with independent producers and the communities in which they live. We travel the globe, searching for farmers whose crops are often too small to grab the attention of the conventional coffee trade. With this practice, not only do we responsibly procure the finest Arabica beans for our customers, we also help sustain the farmers and the communities in which they live. The bean selection process begins in our lab in Lambertville. We subject green, unroasted coffee to an in-depth series of tests measuring bean quality, consistency and potential. Then we meticulously roast and cup every sample that shows promise. When we find a bean we like, we explore its roast latitude with additional cupping and tasting, determining the optimum roast that presents each bean at its best.

Our outstanding selection of sustainably grown coffees and teas is complemented by our comprehensive inventory of the best brewing equipment. If you are searching for an improved way to brew your morning cup, feel free to call, write, or drop in any time for our expert advice. At Rojo’s, everyone can find the serious beans and brewing equipment they need for the seriously good cup of coffee they deserve.

Sonja and Paul moved to the United States 20 years ago, and in a “now or never moment” both followed their dreams and changed careers to start this apparel brand.

Toobydoo is all about the active kid and the fun of play. Styles are made with quality fabrics – ready for imagination, play & easy washing!  In his designs Paul is inspired by modern art and architecture – every design, every stripe, every pattern, every color combination you see in the store was designed in-house.

The brand has been featured in many magazines from Vogue to InStyle to Parents, and has been seen in feature films, on the red carpet  and in a White House photoshoot.

After launching the brand in Barneys, Saks, Neiman Marcus & various pop-ups. it was time to open a flagship store. With its diverse International community, Palmer Square in Princeton was the perfect place.

We could not have done it without the enthusiasm and dedication of our fantastic team at the store!

We look forward to seeing you @ Toobydoo!

It packed all its style into a mere 600 square-feet in the heart of downtown Princeton. Since then, the ZOË boutique has not only added shoes and accessories to its inventory, but it has also acquired more space. A couple of big moves (across the street in 1998 and across the other street in 2004) and one recent move in summer 2017, up to the bustling and exciting Nassau street sector of Princeton.

With its swelling space and repertoire, ZOË has become Princeton’s very own style landmark. The woman who made it all possible is owner Lisa Brock, a graduate of Fashion Institute of Technology. For the past twenty years, Brock has combined her design expertise and business instincts to transport high fashion to what used to be the unfashionable “burbs.” Her finger always on the pulse to keep only the freshest looks hanging from ZOË’s racks.

What sets the ZOË boutique apart from its look-a-likes is the unique collection of designers, ranging from Chloé to Dense Lente, Zimmermann to Alexander Wang, Nili Lotan to Ulla Johnson. Even more distinguishing is its customer. Unlike the typical high-end boutique that services women in their 20s and 30s, ZOË’s customer is anyone from the precocious teen to the groovy matriarch. It isn’t clear which came first-does ZOË carry this diverse label load to accommodate its varied patrons? Or are ZOË’s patrons varied because the store’s selection is so wide and deep? Either way, it’s a marriage that works.

It’s more than the Paris shows and the eclectic designer showcase that make ZOË the shopper’s dream. It’s Brock’s eye that is the muscle of the whole operation. ZOË is the only boutique that houses it all…and the best of it all. If every brand is selling its own story, then Brock chooses the best chapters from each and combines them to tell her own-a tale she likes to call…ZOË.

When Judge Thomas Leonard passed away in 1759, his elegant residence became a hostelry, which was called College Inn by its new owner. The Inn’s first proprietor was Christopher Beekman, whose natural talent as a host soon established the Inn as the center of the town’s life. Wine and argument flowed freely in Beekman’s taproom, or drinking room, where his wife helped tend the punchbowls. Students and townsmen were treated to the news and opinions of honored guests such as Paul Revere, Robert Morris and Thomas Paine, who stayed the night more than once.

In 1775, the Committee of Safety met at College Inn, and a few weeks later, delegates were stopping overnight on their way to the first Continental Congress in Philadelphia. Signers of the Declaration of Independence, passing through Princeton in 1776, rested at College Inn.

As the war began, military men took the place of travelers. Officers of the Continental Army, as well as the British and Hessians (depending upon which side was in possession of the town), found solace in the taproom offerings. Months later, the Battle of Yorktown and the signing of the Peace Treaty were properly celebrated over College Inn punchbowls. When the Continental Congress met in Princeton in 1783, the national celebrities of the day were guests of the Inn, which was just a few steps from the historic session in Nassau Hall. At the turn of the 19th century, Christopher Beekman and his wife, Grace Otis Beekman, retired. John Gifford took over the hostelry, changed its name to Nassau Inn and hung a sign picturing Nassau Hall over its entrance.

The 52 Nassau Street establishment closed its doors in 1937, when it had become evident that the town and the University needed a larger, comfortable, and more modern hotel, one that would preserve the traditions of “Old Nass” while providing suitable suites for travelers and college guests. The construction of Nassau Tavern, which was eventually changed to the Nassau Inn, on Palmer Square was the result.

When it comes to describing the Nassau Inn, it could be said that the myth has been modernized. Our charming stone façade gives way to a spacious, stylish hotel awash in boutique comfort and sophistication. It is a place where visitors can host a cutting-edge sales presentation or gather ’round the massive stone hearth for cocktails and conversation as Paul Revere and Thomas Paine did at the original 52 Nassau Street location nearly 260 years ago. Some might find that a glass of wine, a good book and an overstuffed couch in the parlor are all the nightlife they need. Others may ask us to reserve them a table in our beloved Yankee Doodle Tap Room Restaurant or help them plan a chic, stylish wedding for 200 family and friends.

Our parent company, HALO FARM, a micro dairy down the road a piece, makes all our ice cream and drinks, except for the divine coffees by Fishtown’s LaColombe. Halo’s rBST hormone-free milk and cream are used to craft our 50 flavors of super premium ice cream. The ingredient lists are small, rarely more than seven, and the taste is magnificent. Our credo is to craft the best product at the best possible price. Visit us to enjoy sundaes, shakes, floats, and scoops of your favorite flavors, hard or soft. You can also simply take a pint, or three, to go! Try some of our specialty beverages – Floatissimo, Parisian Hot Chocolate, Hot Caramel Cider or our CappuNog (holiday season only). We have been cited many times for best ice cream by NJ Monthly, Critics Choice.

At the forefront of the new ice cream wave, Gab & Matt made it (& continue to appear) on countless “best of” lists – including a “best of NYC” in New York Magazine (for their semi-regular pop-up at the New Amsterdam Market from 2009-2012) and New Jersey Monthly’s “best ice cream” 14 years in a row.

Since the beginning, there have been so many partnerships and collaborations with various organizations including Princeton University, NOFA-NJ, Fair Food Philadelphia, Slow Food USA (the founder, Carlo Petrini visited the store!) and Gab even went on a trip to the White House in 2011 to join Michelle Obama’s ‘Chefs Move to Schools’ Initiative. They had a glorious Vespa motor scooter with an ice cream sidecar (currently retired) that showed up at all kinds of events from Phillies games, to weddings, to farmer’s markets, and to grand benefits. They continue extend their philanthropy to a myriad of environmental and local land preservation groups, and also send love to their furry friends through a ongoing donation from the proceeds of a special “puppy ice cream” made for dogs. One of the most impactful partnerships continues to be with Princeton’s legendary natural food store, the Whole Earth Center, where for nearly 10 years they have worked together on a special pint project to help fund Princeton’s school garden programs.

Highlighting relationships and community is the centerpiece of how they source ingredients, support local farms, seek out producers who share similar ideals and try to make some sort of social impact through ice cream. Gab and Matt set out to create a place where those ingredients show off all that the great garden state has to offer and also to be a little place of joy for all those who visit the tiny shop on Palmer Square.

They came to the United States in 1960 and by the mid-1970’s, Teresa and Raul opened the very first “Teresa” – an Italian specialty food store. We worked alongside our parents when not in school, learning how to cook in the tradition and heritage of our ancestors. That’s where we acquired our passion for fresh food and a dedication to provide warm and welcoming service. In 1982 our love of food led us back to our roots and we opened “Teresa II”, the first restaurant in the Terra Momo Group. We continued to create exciting dining experiences spanning cultures: Teresa Caffe, Mediterra, Eno Terra, and now a tapas and wine bar named Albariño.  Our bakery, The Terra Momo Bread Company, supplies the restaurants daily. Whenever possible, our own Canal Farm located in Kingston, NJ provides the restaurants with fresh produce.  While the flavors and themes vary – from Italian to Spanish to Mediterranean – they all share the Terra Momo vision of quality, creativity and exceptional service. Each setting has an individual sense of place. You can experience this, in the colors of our custom-designed interiors, the smell of our artisan bread, the taste of locally grown produce, the selection of carefully chosen wines, the sounds of our music, and the care our staff provides, creating a vibrant setting for great memories with family and friends. The Terra Momo Restaurant Group continues to offer dining experiences with the common theme of earth, food, wine and, an enjoyment of life. Our many doors are open and welcome you.
