About this Event
We’re headed back to in Hackensack on Tuesday, October 20th from 6:30–8:30 PM.
Marimba Cafe has become one of our favorite places to host, every visit feels like coming home. Their hospitality, cozy ambiance, and incredible menu make it the perfect spot to wind down before the holiday rush. Come savor a Coquite Latte, Waffle Bono, Wrap de Pollo, or one of their refreshing Jugos Frescas while you settle in with your book.
