7 Best Coffee Shops near Princeton

“Small town charm, artsy coffee shop vibes, delicious coffee and yummy pastries, friendly staff… a perfect place to read or socialize or get some work done. Most days I am picking up coffee on my way to work or to run errands but there are always people enjoying the atmosphere. I look forward to their seasonal menu drinks and have quite a few “favorites” on the menu.“

“I’m honestly hesitant to post this review because I’m afraid my secret little waffle oasis is about to explode in popularity and I’ll end up standing in a line that wraps around the county. But… it deserves to thrive, so here we are. I found this place totally by accident while planning a bike ride and looking for a halfway point to refuel. It’s out in the middle of nowhere, so I wasn’t expecting much—maybe a decent cup of coffee and a place to stretch my legs. Instead, I walked into waffle heaven. These are real Liege waffles—the scrumptious kind with pearl sugar baked into them so they’re perfectly caramelized and chewy. And then they’ve done something downright diabolical: they turned them into breakfast sandwiches. Between two glorious waffles was a heroic stack of bacon, cheese, egg, and pesto. A combination so good it should probably come with a warning label. And because I was already committed to the experience, I added the sweet potato waffle fries—drizzled with syrup like they were sent straight from the afterlife. Absolutely out of this world. The staff was friendly, funny, and genuinely welcoming. I even met Reed—the owner/operator—and chatted with him for a bit. He took me behind the scenes to show the waffle irons and explain how they make the dough. You don’t usually get that kind of passion and hospitality in a quick breakfast stop. All around, a fantastic, unexpected, memorable experience. Go support this place. Just… don’t blame me when there’s a line.“

“Stopped in here during a work trip and what a community gem! I’d be here a lot if I was a local. There are so many flavors of lattes and the environment is warm and welcoming.“

“I recently visited a place that seems to be incorrectly labeled as Dunkin, when it should actually be called Dunkin Express. Unlike a typical Dunkin, this spot requires customers to prepare their own coffee. Despite this, the establishment was impeccably clean and well-maintained. The coffee and donuts were both fresh, ensuring a satisfying experience overall.“

“Thanks for a good lunch!!“

“The pho was flavorful, hot, and made to order. It had the perfect level of spice and was absolutely delicious. The lady, who I believe was the owner or manager, was incredibly kind. After I placed my order, she asked if I wanted to add a meatball. Later, she checked in to see how everything was and even brought over fresh basil to add to the pho. The food and hospitality made this a phenomenal experience. I highly recommend stopping by this Thai spot in the food hall.“
