50 Best Coffee Shops near Belmar

“Wow, needed a coffee before summoning the energy to gut it out for some striper in the surf on a snotty day - and this place was so far beyond expectations given most coffee shops aren’t even open this time of year.

The place is perfect. The latte was amazing and the avocado toast, recommended by the very awesome Jeannette who I assume is the owner, was better and more interesting than most anything I get back in Southern California (no, that’s no hyperbole). Holiday vibes are on point too! Thanks for having me!“

“Great pour overs, well trained staff“

“This coffee shop is a hidden gem and worth the visit. I was blown away by how amazing the coconut and banana foster lattes were, and our barista Jessica was super friendly and made our drinks perfectly! Highly recommend checking Coffee Surf Co. out!“

“How this place doesn’t have 5,000+ 5-Star reviews I don’t know. Offshore has been serving quality roasts, food, service, and atmosphere for a long time in Long Branch. Their Belmar location is no different. With menu that is always great and plenty of seating you can’t beat it. They are always on their game, I can’t recommend enough.“

“Come here every day! Love, best coffee.“

“Good time. Quick attendance. Always a excellent product. We love it. Thanks Dunkin' Donuts.“

“If you are looking for a high-quality bagel in the Belmar area, the Corner Bagelry is a standout choice. The shop has a welcoming atmosphere that fits perfectly with the local community. It is clear they focus on freshness, which makes a difference in the overall experience compared to other local spots.m

The egg bagel is my go to here. I ordered mine toasted with butter, and it was excellent. The texture was exactly what you want—a soft, flavorful interior with just the right amount of chew. It was prepared perfectly, with the butter melted evenly across the bagel, enhancing the flavor without making it greasy enough r leaving a puddle in my car.

The staff was efficient and friendly, and maintained a clean and organized area. It is a reliable spot for a consistent, high-quality breakfast, and I would certainly recommend stopping by if you are in the neighborhood.“

“Thank you for the stellar customer service today with my order, Playa Bowls 👌🏻“

“Wonderful, friendly owners! Coffee is delicious and the greek baked goods/desserts are fantastic! Bonus... you can hone your greek language skills 🩵“

“I was in town 2 years ago and tried this place.. I LOVED espresso and I’m not lying I still think about my latte probably once a week.. I’ve tried so many coffee shops and this was by far my favorite. Can’t wait to go back!!! Oh and the cookies… don’t even get me started“

“This place took me by surprise! They don’t have too many specialty coffees however their coffee was amazing! It’s inside of an old bank which was insanely cool! I so happened to get a Lavender Vanilla latte and it was so good! It wasn’t overly sweet which I loved! Will definitely be coming back!“

“Great value and quality! Highly recommend!“

“Friendly staff, great coffee! I had a Nutella iced latte, and it was delicious. On the weekends, they do a little pop-up market outdoors, which is extra fun!“

“Best coffee & danishes in NJ, hands down.“

“This is such an amazing place! Delicious coffees, an awesome atmosphere, and simply some of the best plants you can get in the area; it’s a completely wonderful experience every time I visit! The owner, Nubia, is beyond kind, knowledgeable, and always so welcoming! This female owned and operated small business should be celebrated for how amazing it truly is! Skip the big coffee chains and big box shops and support this incredible, local businesses, instead!“

“Excellent coffee shop right off of Mantoloking road. Easy to find and plenty of parking both in front of the shop and along the side. Everyone behind the counter is super friendly and quick to say hello or ask about your day. Menu has the staples, but be sure to check the seasonal specials for some fun options. Red eye Cold Brew will wake you up (my favorite). They also have some great local croissants. Coffee is flavorful and always ready quickly. Ther is also a great sitting area to enjoy your coffee or get some work done

Overall 10/10 always a stop on my list after a late night out or when headed out to run errands. Stop in and give them a try!“

“So, we’re from boston and are visiting my son. Not too much to choose from around here in terms of restaurants. But suddenly I see a sign Minas Grill and went in just because of the word grill. It’s Brazilian! My heart is singing! Great coffee, the food is like home cooked. Loved the cheese bread and you can shop here too! Lovely warm people and so helpful! So we’ll be back while we’re here.“

“Dutch Coffee!!! Wonderful staff and a cozy environment.“

“Amazing food, friendly staff, delicious coffee🖤“

“All my coffee beans come from Rook! Some of my coffee mugs, too. I have the kind of machine that grinds whole beans before pouring. Rook's Nicaragua and Guatemala are favorites. The staff are all so friendly. Lots of locations, too.“

“The food was amazing. I continue to come back for lunch for a quick, delicious, and affordable meal. The staff is extremely friendly, and have never messed up any of my orders. Definitely recommend checking them out and taking advantage of the $10 bowls. Gives chipotle next door a run for their money.“

“Yummy My breakfast eggs and greens with avocado was amazing !“

“Just a great, delicious cup of coffee .. and Mark has his shop running like clockwork“

“Forget the rest, AP is the best.
Don’t be fooled by new comer coffee shops in Asbury Park. If you want good fresh roasted coffee, look no further. Take the walk to 2nd Ave. The folks working are always kind and there is comfy seating if you want I stay. The iced coffee is god tier, probably the best I’ve ever had. Rich and flavorful but no bitterness. I’ve been coming here for years and have started bringing the beans home for when I’m not in town. I’ve ordered also from their website and deliver was fast and easy. Now when I have visitors at my home they remark at how good my coffee is, the best they say. I say yes, yes it is.“

“Everything is always so delicious and even though it’s a little far from me I try to make a trip at least once a week since it’s my favorite spot!“

“Coffee was delicious and so was my acai bowl. Freshest bowl base had in the area and the guy working there was so nice. I frequently come back to Jersey to visit family. Really liked they had a kids table with coloring for my nephew too. This is definitely a go-to now!“

“Polite, friendly service. Clean, inviting environment. Fun music ( not too loud for 8 am). Good, quick food. Hot coffee (and HOT SYRUP!). No disdain that I was paying with a gift card for 2 free meals, and taking 1 togo- super accommodating and bonus points bc that's not a great table to get on a Sunday morning. kudos Joshua 😊“

“We were invited to the friends and family breakfast the day before opening. We were all absolutely floored by this place and have already made a new tradition to come every sunday! The wait staff and INCREDIBLE, they are so sweet and so speedy! They were so considerate, turned the fire place off for us, and talked with our kids. The restaurant is clean, calm, almost beachy feeling. The most important...the food was absolutely amazing AND at an incredible price. The portions are large and VERY affordable, while looking and tasting like high end breakfast. This place makes you feel rich, and will thankfully not give your bank account the bill.“

“The Grand Victorian (Allison) recommended this little cafe and it was awesome. Kelly was a great waitress who provided a wealth of information as to where to go. The food was delicious and service was fast. Highly recommend.“

“Great coffee and croissant. I will be back.“

“Been there several times food and service is excellent. Natalie is hands down the best waitress in all PPB always prompt service!!!“

“This is the cutest location weve been to yet. Really friendly staff and awesome vibes coming from this place. there's nowhere to really chill but you shouldn't be hanging there for too long anyway because there's too much life to live outside“

“Today was my first time and the staff was very friendly and informative,I’ll be back definitely“

“BRICK: walking into California Cold Co. feels like stepping into a perfectly timed midday reset with buzzing energy, great music, and a crowd happily fueling up on caffeine.

Leashed and friendly dogs are welcome inside as well as at the outdoor tables, making it an easy stop for you and your pup.

Their craft drinks are thoughtfully made, with a mix of everyday favorites and creative seasonal specials, plus light bites to round out your visit. We loved spotting a couple of other dogs soaking up the outing with their families, always a good sign you have found a gem.

They also have a location in Manalapan, so you have got options when the craving hits“

“Delicious entrees. Tell a friend. My favorite dining spot!“

“My husband and I had breakfast here yesterday. It was our first time at Rise n Shine and we loved it!!! Great food and service. Our new favorite restaurant.“

“Port Coffee Roasters is so much more than just grabbing a cup of coffee. Its an experience. The owners and staff are very knowledgeable and personable. Each cup of coffee is made to order and the end product is pure deliciousness. The owners Grace and Greg roast their own beans in a state of the art roaster right on premises. They prepare delicious fresh baked goods daily, and have a true passion for their craft.“

“The food !! Everything is fresh & yums!! They also made corn pancakes ( don’t judge til you’ve had them 😊) not on the menu for myself & my bff!!“

“The Best. Sumatra , pumpkin Spice Oh love.“

“This was a soul quenching phenomena. Mike told me he got in around noon. A gem of a barista, people like him are an enormous part of the reason this culture and vibe are so revered.

Specialty coffee is anything if
not stylish, and like all things sophisticated, worth traveling for and often, waiting for. I will say though, if you go late it may be quiet enough to see the shop in a special and nuanced glow.

And yes, there is something about a remarkable cafe that just epitomizes it…. The connection to where the flavor comes from. Bean to mug, farm to table, and although the beans drift through the air and over oceans, if the culture of storytelling hits just right, you can get more than a cup of coffee at the right place.“

“Absolutely love what Makana’s has brought to Asbury Park! From the moment you step in, you’re greeted with a burst of fresh, inviting aromas and a smile from the friendly staff. I tried their signature Philly Wrap and the Ube latte, both of which were out of this world!“

“I came from Massachusetts with my family to visit, and it did not disappoint! All. The merchandise is beyond adorable! The tabby cake was good but a little Sweeter than expected, the coffee selection was good too ,but I'm writing this review for Nancy ! She was incredible, so personable , so easy to talk too and patient, this girly loves her job and it shows in her amazing customer service skills
She made the experience worth the 6 hour drive I would come back just for her !“

“Our server Joe was very nice, helpful and pleasant. We had the bagels and lox, power bowl and oatmeal with blueberries and bananas, absolutely delicious!! Highly recommend especially this time of year, usually a wait in summer but weee sat right away this time. The food was extremely fresh, and everything looked and tasted homemade.“

“As frequent visitors to Asbury Park, we’ve tried most of the coffee spots in the area, and Offshore Coffee is definitely our #1. The staff is always friendly, and the coffee is absolutely delicious. It’s the perfect stop if you’re strolling along the Asbury Park Boardwalk—grab a seat, enjoy your brew, and take in the ocean view. Highly recommended—you won’t be disappointed! The only suggestion I have is to add some gluten free snack options.“

“first time my wife and I were there for breakfast today the best bacon egg and cheese I ever had very clean courteous staff we will be back.“

“Really good food and great staff. Place was clean and accommodating. Yolo French roast was heaven. 🥵“

“This is an amazing place. As many of us know, people who are neurodivergent, have disabilities, and/or are special needs, have a hard time finding employment in their community. This adorable cafe is a trailblazer in community involvement, providing training and jobs for our special needs community!!!

The food is honestly FANTASTIC!

If you are in a rush, this may not be the place to go. If you have time to sit, chat, and relax, this is the perfect spot for a delicious lunch. 10/10 Would recommend.“

“From the minute that we got there until we left very friendly.Great service!! It was our first time there.They gave us this beautiful salad on the house! Our food was delicious! GOOD bread,Eggplant parmesan,lasagna, cavitelli and broccoli rob. The meatballs are possibly the best i've ever had out, not even kidding. The red sauce was delicious, teeny bit salty for me but by far better than what I have experienced in the recent times I have been out to eat. Can't wait to go back. Very friendly atmosphere!“

“I recently visited Seawatch Coffee and Market, and I can’t stop raving about the experience! From the moment I walked in, the atmosphere enveloped me in warmth and charm. The cozy, nautical-inspired decor, with its soft lighting and comfortable seating, creates a welcoming vibe that feels like a home away from home. The service is nothing short of exceptional. The staff greeted me with genuine smiles and made me feel like a valued guest from the start. They were attentive without being overbearing, quick to offer recommendations, and clearly passionate about what they do. The owner deserves special praise for setting the tone of this gem. Their warmth and dedication shine through in every detail, from the carefully curated menu to the inviting atmosphere. You can tell they pour their heart into what they do. This is a place where quality and care come together beautifully—I can’t wait to return!“
