Are there Cosi shops in North Jersey? They have decent food and good coffee. There's one around the corner from my office and I often get a bagel for breakfast or a salad/sandwich for lunch from there. We have good coffee here so I don't bother with that.

Not sure how locked in on the location you are, but the first place I thought of is the Frozen Monkey on Wash St in Hoboken (around 6th, iirc)--it has everything you're looking for, but it's certainly not on/near Rts 80 or 287.

I'm also wondering if there's anything in Madison, but it has been a few years since I lived out that way, so I'm not sure.

Am looking for a coffee-bar type place (NOT Starbucks) that has sandwiches, possibly a bakery and/or fresh bread with a nice ambience and seating.  Looking for somewhere along I-80 or I-287.  Any suggestions?

You've got my curiousity piqued. For what purpose? - a rest from traveling? A coffee shop that serves sandwiches is more or less a diner, no? How far from the highways are you willing to stray?

We often travel on weekends and HATE diners;Stopping for breakfast gets you through the day to dinner. Starbucks is acceptable, but BORING. Looking for a more sophisticated ambience, and a little more than cakes and danishes for food; My examples of places fitting this to a "T" (but in the wrong location) would be Metropolitan Bakery on Market St in Philadelphia, Runcible Spoon in Nyack, NY and Provence Breads in Nashville, TN.
