14 Best Cafes in Newark

“I’m not usually hanging out in the area, but I needed to get my car windshield replaced yesterday and had to run a long zoom meeting afterwards. So I needed somewhere to camp out afterwards since I wouldn’t make it back home to wilmington in time. I stumbled upon this place in my “coffee shops” map search. Everyone working was very kind, and the drink + bagel i had were both so good that I felt compelled to actually write this FB review. I have been mourning the loss of my favorite wilmington boba spot (it sounds dramatic but I am serious, the others just aren’t the same) so am so glad to have found a good one, even if it’s a little bit of a hike.“

“Pastries and coffee were delicious!“

“I love this place from the simple food menus that is priced perfectly and prepared freshThe onigori are the best and at $4 shidddAlso they get me , I’ve been making strawberry matchas at home and I finally found a place that makes it very good … if only Comma and ramen Kumamoto could fusion form together ? I wish“

“There's not many places in the area for a good breakfast where it's not crowded.
I stopped in today and ordered a bacon, egg and cheese on buttered toast and it was perfect.
The service is friendly from the former sub shop owner on Cleveland Avenue auto row. I think it was called Olympic steak shop.
I always enjoy their food at Delmar Cafe and plenty of seating.“

“I didn’t just grab vegan chocolate at 67 Cafe — I grabbed a whole experience. After snagging a delicious vegan chocolate bar from the neighboring Newark Natural Foods, I wandered into 67 Cafe, found myself a super comfy chair, and set up shop to study something a little niche: autonomous vehicle prompt engineering (yeah, it’s as futuristic as it sounds).

The atmosphere here is perfect for focus — relaxed, welcoming, and with that kind of low hum that makes you feel like you’re part of a quiet but thriving community. And I have to give a huge shoutout to Raina, who was working the counter when I came in and whom I rewarded a decent tip to. Friendly, efficient, and just genuinely good energy — exactly the kind of person you want as the face of a neighborhood spot.

Whether you’re looking for a place to sip, snack, or deep-dive into a cutting-edge study session, 67 Cafe has you covered. I’ll absolutely be back — probably with another vegan treat in one hand and a laptop full of AI prompts in the other. 🚀🍫“

“Stopped in for the first time… had time to kill before heading to Yarn & Bone in the same shopping center. IT WAS AMAZING. The coffee was fresh and delicious (coming from someone that drinks it black… iykyk). I got the Eggs Benedict on the Cheddar Biscuit and I would drive up from Dover just to eat that again 😂😍. We have adoption events once a month in their neighboring store, and this is going to be a monthly breakfast stop moving forward!“

“Second time in the shop today. Took home another stack of clean, graded good tunes and picked up a really reasonably priced belt-driven turntable for my teens who came along today. We had a great time diving the crates and chatting with Brian, the platonic ideal of record store owner. Great addition to Lawrenceville!“

“Bet. Plus that curly headed blonde is a 10/10. Would bang for an Island Green.“

“My husband ate one of Bing's Sticky buns and loved it so much. Mind you he doesnt like sweets. We will definitely be coming back for more treats!“

“This catering experience was top notch! I needed some hand holding since I don't host things very often, and Pamela made it a great experience. She guided me through food options to ensure our event was successful. She was considerate of food allergies and reminded me of the need for vegetarian options. She ensured we provided a balance of options so that every guest was satisfied. I received RAVE reviews from our guests. Her and her husband arrived on time and set up all of our platters so that I literally just sat and watched as everything was perfectly placed. I would highly recommend Pamela's Gourmet for any event!“

“We’re frequent customers at the Montvale, New Jersey, store, but this was our first visit to the Christiana (Delaware) First Watch. Spectacular food and spectacular hospitality from our server, Vanessa! I always get the ‘Traditional’ breakfast and a blueberry pancake. So yummy! My wife loved her ‘Farmhouse Skillet Scramble’! Hope we see you and your friends again, Vanessa! - Jim & Laurel Lambert“

“Brew HaHa! is more than just a coffee shop—it’s a staple in the community, combining artisan coffee with a chic, relaxed vibe. Located just off the main strip, the interior is clean and modern, with plenty of comfortable seating, exposed brick, and an artsy, welcoming atmosphere. The café takes its coffee seriously, offering a curated selection of espresso-based drinks, pour-overs, and seasonal specials like lavender lattes or maple cold brew. I ordered a cappuccino and a breakfast sandwich with egg, bacon, and cheddar on a croissant. The coffee was smooth with a rich crema, clearly crafted with care. The sandwich was warm, flaky, and filling—simple, but made with quality ingredients. For a sweet treat, I tried a slice of lemon pound cake that was moist and subtly tart. They also offer fresh pastries, salads, and sandwiches, making it more of an all-day café than just a morning stop. Staff are friendly and knowledgeable, happy to explain the beans and blends or recommend something new. Brew HaHa! strikes a balance between trendy and approachable. It’s ideal for students studying, professionals working remotely, or anyone looking to escape the generic coffee chain atmosphere. It's the kind of place where you can linger, recharge, and enjoy the little details that elevate a cup of coffee into a full experience.“

“Food was decent. A bit pricey for what it was, but decent all together. There was only one server the day before Thanksgiving, so she was a little stressed due to the volume of people coming in, but she held her own.

The actual restaurant was beautiful inside though. A lot of old world charm and very clean.

I may come back again next time I'm in Newark when it's not holiday time.“

“Love this place. Always good. Friendly staff. Can’t go wrong!“
