I've literally never had food come out faster. The food is great and so is the atmosphere. Great little spot to get some work done. Highly recommend this place for breakfast or lunch.

So this i my favorite spot in newark and I frequent here often, I also bring others here for meetings. I usually add fries inside of my breakfast burrito due to the regular potatoes often being under cooked, no biggie right? Apparently wrong because when i asked today to do this, something i have done a few times a month.. I was told no. Lets keep up with the consistency here? Especially when I frequent this establishment multiple times per month and bring others.

I had a pour over of the light roast Ethiopian. It was okay, but under-extracted. The beans are high quality, but the brewing was at fault.
The hot water from the tower went into a cold kettle at 203°. The barista did not pre-rinse or preheat the large ceramic Brewer. By the time the heat was siphoned off from the cold kettle and the ceramic brewer, the water was well-below the temperature needed to get a sweet cup from a light roast.
I would encourage management to tighten up the protocol OR take steps to make sure baristas care about the details.
The service was friendly enough, but I was not greeted when I came in or offered an option of to-go or mug.

Ordered online.paid when I arrived. Went to the area where it says pickup. One associate took my order from the window , bagged it and sat it on the counter by the cash register where you order and pay. She made eye contact with me but said nothing while placing the food in the wrong place. I waited another 10 minutes or so for my order, finally the cashier saw me and picked up the bag and said oh here is your burrito. The service of this one associate left me so angry that I will not be going there again. Her behavior seemed very deliberate

The coffee is hot. Order at register and seat yourself. Unique food offerings. Not your traditional breakfast / lunch place.

Drip Cafe catered our birthday party at an outside venue and it was fantastic! Leah was a pleasure to work with for ordering everything, and delivered and set up the food herself. Our guests were very impressed with the food! Highly recommend!

Drip Café is a cozy, modern brunch spot that has become a local favorite for those seeking creative takes on breakfast and lunch classics. Tucked into a modest shopping center, the interior is warm and inviting, with rustic wooden accents and plenty of natural light. The café offers a seasonal, locally sourced menu that changes just enough to keep things fresh while maintaining crowd favorites. On my visit, I ordered the bacon-stuffed French toast—two thick slices of challah bread filled with crispy bacon and cream cheese, topped with maple syrup and powdered sugar. It was indulgent without being too sweet, and the bacon added just the right level of savory balance. My companion had the avocado toast with poached eggs, which was fresh, hearty, and full of color—beautifully plated with a touch of chili oil and pickled onions. The coffee was strong and smooth, and they offer a rotating selection of single-origin beans, which is a nice touch for coffee lovers. Service was efficient and friendly, with staff checking in just enough to ensure a smooth experience without hovering. Prices are on the mid-range side, but justified by the quality and presentation. Drip Café is the kind of place where you can meet a friend, grab a quick solo breakfast, or settle in with a laptop and a latte. It’s cozy, creative, and delicious—a reliable choice in Newark.
Ordered the mixed green salad with adding chicken. Disgusting and extremely small portion for $15 salad. The greens in the salad taste extremely dirty and the chicken each bite is a table spoon of salt.

This is one of my favorite spots — the breakfast sandwiches are consistently delicious, and I’ll keep coming back. But I’ve got to call out something that really bugs me: the cost of adding avocado.
I paid $4 extra to add avocado to my $7.50 sandwich — over 50% of the base price — and what I got was maybe a quarter of a single avocado. A whole avocado at the grocery store costs between $0.70 and $0.99, which means the actual avocado used on my sandwich cost the restaurant about 25 cents. So I paid $4 for something that costs under a quarter — that’s a 1,500% markup!!!
I get that restaurants need to make a profit, but this feels less like a fair upcharge and more like price gouging. I’d happily pay $1 or $1.50 — even $2 if I get a satisfying mouthful of avo. But $4 for a quarter of an avocado? That just leaves a bad taste in my mouth (and not from the food).
Please reconsider the pricing on this (same could be said for adding bacon or any other add on really). Loyal customers like me want to feel good about every part of the experience — not like we got avocado-robbed.
