50 Best Coffee Shops near Belmar

“We had breakfast at this restaurant after nice morning beach walk. This place is amazing , love the hospitality, food is so fresh and it’s very neat and clean .. Love the ambiance.. highly recommend this place if you are in the area ..“

“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!“

“Great coffee. Friendly staff and love that they feature speciality drinks which is fun!

The biggest con about this location is the exhaust in the space is absolutely awful. There is a constant cloud of smoke from their cooking in the kitchen and it doesn’t properly exhaust out of the space. You will 100% leave smelling like fried food and it will be on your clothes, hair, etc the whole day. I almost had to walk out the other day because my eyes were tearing. Also, many people come in here to work on their laptops which is fine but if you are coming to meet a friend for coffee and chat, there most likely won’t be any seats. If you can grab one of the few seats outside, I would go for that.“

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

“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 👌🏻“

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

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

“Great value and quality! Highly recommend!“

“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!“

“The matcha here is excellent! I love that their menu offers different drink styles that you can order with matcha, coffee, or hojicha. I got an iced matcha, Kuromi's style, and it was delicious! The folks running the shop are so sweet. Will definitely be back to try all the different styles!“

“This coffee shop is an absolute gem! The coffee is truly incredible — their espresso is exceptional, and the iced Americano is easily the best I’ve ever had. You can tell they genuinely care about the quality of what they’re serving.
What really made our experience stand out, though, are the people that own it and work there. They were unbelievably friendly, welcoming, and accommodating. We had friends visiting from Hawaii, and even though we arrived after they were already closed, they went above and beyond to accommodate us. That kind of kindness and hospitality is something you don’t forget.

Between the outstanding coffee and the genuinely wonderful people behind the counter, this place is everything you want in a local coffee shop. If you’re a coffee lover, do yourself a favor and stop in — you won’t be disappointed. Highly, highly recommend!“

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

“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 😊“

“I am in love with this place and will be back anytime I'm in Ocean Grove! The atmosphere is wonderful, love the huge windows letting in beautiful light, all the plants, and plenty of seating. Very calming atmosphere. The coffee was also super good! 🌟“

“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.“

“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!“

“If you're cruising through Uptown Asbury Park you must stop by here. Booskerdoo isn’t just your standard pitstop for caffeine; this is their main roasting mothership, and you can see (and smell when roasting) the serious business the second you walk up to the door.

Let's talk about that liquid gold. I ordered a hot latte with whole milk, finished off with a quick dusting of cinnamon over the foam. One sip and I was hooked, we’re talking a rich, velvety microfoam floating over espresso so balanced it could walk a tightrope. Naturally, because I never meet a light roast I don't like, I got a cup of their Guatemalan El Panal to go. Bright, clean, and really smooth. It’s proof these folks know exactly what they’re doing with a coffee bean. (I hope to get there some day in my micro roaster at home. lol).

Now, I didn't initially plan on grabbing a bite, but the pastry case is a complete trap. While those peanut butter and jelly bars almost lured me in, I ended up pairing my latte with a fresh cranberry scone.

It was a match made in coffee heaven. Flaky, tender, delightfully buttery, and studded with cranberries, it’s the exact kind of pastry that turns a quick coffee run into a full-blown Sit back and relax) lingering experience.

The real showstopper inside, though, is the giant Diedrich roaster sitting right out on the floor alongside literal pallets of green coffee beans. You see Booskerdoo beans popping up at spots all over the Jersey Shore, so seeing the actual industrial engine where the magic happens is really cool. My only minor tragedy of the day? The roaster wasn't firing while I was there. I would’ve loved to hear that machine humming and soak in the full aroma of fresh-roasting beans, but hey, that just gives me an excuse to come back tomorrow.“

“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.“

“There is no coffee more delicious, no drinks more carefully crafted, nor service more delightful than Steady Hand. Highly recommend trying any of the drinks that you haven’t had before - it’s easy to find a new favorite when there aren’t any bad drinks!!“

“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.“

“Amazing food, friendly staff, delicious coffee🖤“

“While visiting family in New Jersey, I decided to check out Asbury Park Roastery on a Sunday morning and was thoroughly impressed.

As I pulled up, I could see someone in the attached roastery next door working on a fresh batch of coffee beans. Inside, the shop has a fantastic selection of retail items including bagged teas, fresh coffee, Chemex pour overs, AeroPresses, and even a sleek vacuum sealing coffee container that I am strongly considering purchasing. They also have a few neat branded shirts on display along the wall.

The seating area is very comfortable with roughly 15 tables that accommodate anywhere from two to four people, along with soft lounge chairs and end tables. It proved to be a wonderful spot to sit back, listen to the background music, and do some weekly planning. I also noticed they had beach style chairs you could take outside to enjoy the lovely weather, however it was drizzling a bit when I arrived so I opted for the comfy leather chair inside.

I ordered a latte and was thrilled that they served it in a real mug upon request. The coffee used in the drink had a darker roast profile with a bit more bitterness than my usual preference, but it was still delicious and clearly high quality.

To go with my drink, I picked a fresh cranberry scone from their display of pastry options. The scone was fantastic and paired perfectly with the warm drink. I always appreciate a coffee shop that roasts its own beans in house, and seeing the operation in action made the visit even better. This is definitely a wonderful place to relax and enjoy fresh roasted coffee“

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

“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.“

“Rook never disappoints. With a great environment, coffee, and staff it makes for a really enjoyable experience. Staff are really nice and helpful as well when it comes to interacting and asking questions. Love this place and I think you will too try it!“

“This is hands-down my favorite coffee shop. Everything on the menu is incredible. I’ve tried so many different drinks here, and not once have I been disappointed. Whether it’s a matcha drink, coconut water hydrator, an iced cold brew special or one of Jen’s signature creations, every cup is thoughtfully made and absolutely delicious. There’s an item on the menu for every taste and preference, from skinny drinks to collagen protein add-ins, kid friendly ice pops, and more. You can tell that a lot of love goes into every detail — from the coffee itself to the welcoming vibe and friendly service. It’s the kind of place that instantly becomes a local favorite, and once you try it, you’ll keep coming back. If you’re even thinking about trying this place, do it. You’ll be a regular after one sip.“

“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“

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

“Come here every time I am in town. The whole team hustles. Last visit was made all the better by our server, Mike. I was sitting in the far side of a large booth. He noticed my ice had melted in my decaf iced americano and brought me a fresh cup of ice. I was blown away to the quiet attention to detail.“

“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.“

“Second time here today and such wonderful smoothies!! Great kid friendly place also with smaller size smoothie bowls. The shakes were absolutely delicious and loved the ingredients! Can't wait to visit again when in town. Lovely gem of a place!!“

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

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

“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!“

“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.“

“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!“

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

“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“

“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!!“

“Delicious, quality desserts & great service.“

“Pop's makes the best cookies!!! I ordered trays of minis for a wedding and they were fabulous! Everyone loved the chocolate chip, oatmeal raisin, double chocolate chip, lemon blueberry and sugar cookies! And, they were able to provide some GF options which were also delicious. Kudos to Raechel who helped me through the ordering process. Wonderful customer service. Next we'll have to try the "regular" sized cookies!“

“Your Gingerade was amazing!!! Is there anything beside honey, lemon and ginger in it???“
