50 Best Coffee Shops near Cedar Grove

“Friendly staff with fast service at many locations“

“The ladies at the front were friendly when I went yesterday, and it was busy for the holiday. The breakfast sandwiches were better than some other places in the area. However, as a former business owner, I have a pet peeve for prices that are higher than what's posted on the menu boards. Otherwise, a good experience.“

“I was craving a BLT on Thanksgiving morning (w/ beef bacon) and decided to try this place instead of going to Starbucks. What a pleasant surprise! This place is awesome. Very welcoming atmosphere. The service was top notch. My BLT and iced latte was amazing! I was also given a sample of coffee/espresso that was so good. I will definitely be back.“

“I simply LOVE this place. It not only has the best vegan sandwiches and desserts, the hospitality is amazing. Everyone is very friendly and welcoming. The only thing bad is that they are 45 minutes from me. I wish there was one closer to where I live. I would be going more often. I'm hoping one day they will become a franchise. I would definitely want to open a How Delish! ❤️“

“I have visited the Montclair, NJ twice and each time I leave satisfied. They have the best iced coffee and tonight my husband and I had hot coffee and pastry and my husband enjoyed it as well. The atmosphere is beautiful and the customer service is top notch. It’s definitely my top favorite coffee spots in our area.“

“When I first discovered this cafe I instantly fell in love with the atmosphere of the cafe. Everything on the menu is so delicious! And the staff is super friendly.“

“My wife and I stopped by without knowing much about it. What a great experience! The pasties, sweet and savory, are superb. We both had macha, which was expertly made. The space is clean and welcoming with great music playing and the staff was obviously proud of their work, attentive and patient. I highly recommend!“

“Great overall experience and the Energy in the water, the people and the atmosphere is OFF the charts!!!🎉🎉🎉“

“My favorite coffee shop! The staff are absolute sweethearts and take the time to make each drink both delicious and beautifully crafted. I highly recommend stopping by for one of their signature lattes and their phenomenal croissants. I tried the tiramisu latte, the Biscoff latte (pictured), and the chai—every single one was a 10/10. The Wi-Fi worked great, there was plenty of space to work, outlets were easily accessible, and parking was super convenient. A perfect spot for both coffee and productivity“

“My first time trying them was amazing, my aunt, cousins along with myself did a coffee tasting there and everything was great!! I had the FFF (Triple F) with a HEC on brioche 🔥! Service was exceptional as well, definitely a comeback whenever I’m in NJ again“

“I stopped into this restaurant for a meal and when I arrived I parked on the street nearby. I walked in to super cute restaurant. I was greeted and ordered:

Vietnamese Coffee with coffee jelly
Pho Bo with short rib
Banh Mi Sandwich with Shrimp

I loved the food and my favorite was the sandwich! The drink was also super tasty! All in all a really good experience!“

“Awesome coffee, awesome owners. Very sweet people and they make amazing coffee and snacks. Their muffins and croissants are delicious and fresh. Today in particular I asked the owner for a hot coffee but with sugar free stuff as I’m diabetic. She came through with a tasty, hot sugar free coffee that was out of this world. Definitely recommend Ara!“

“Great coffee (best I've ever had), cozy atmosphere, great baristas.“

“Lovely neighborhood cafe near the Walnut train station. Great service and great drinks. It’s awesome to find a place that really knows how to make a matcha latte. We also tried one of their pumpkin scones the other day— perfect taste and not too sweet!“

“The atmosphere is warm and inviting. The decor facilitates a creative space for gathering with friends and colleagues.“

“Vanilla Cinnamon Latte from Muse on Valley Brook Ave in Lyndhurst. This coffee shop is a hidden gem. Quaint little place to read a book, do some work in their comfy area with great music and good vibes. — drinking coffee at Muse Coffee Company. — at Muse Coffee Company.“

“Amazing coffee and friendly, attentive staff!“

“Amazing coffee and delicious vegan treats!“

“Was amazing atmosphere and service. Servers were super kind, we got the cortado—I loved it so much I got 2 of them! In addition got fresh crossaints aith pistachio filling that they do in house. It was delicious. Been there twice and both times were great.“

“Amazing Amazing place! Totally recommend this place!“

“Great little place with great coffee and desserts. I am a coffee snob and I think the coffee here is perfectly brewed, bold and no acidic taste at all. The drinks and food are reasonable priced too. I love coming here for a late coffee and snack.“

“As someone who appreciates food when it is an experience, this right here does it in every sense. The owner clearly knows how to bring the part of Brazil that they dont show us. You don’t even need to speak to anyone because when you scan the QR Code, order & pay for everything (takes the awkward who’s paying) & your order arrives in no time. When you eat the food it is clear there’s a whole team trained in how to make everything that comes out of that kitchen mouthwatering. It’s a whole vibe full of delicious food, quick service, chill ambiance that’s only missing the resort right on the beach built around it. Every single note was hit & well now I want to go to Brazil.“

“Great local spot for quality coffee ☕“

“Tasty food, reasonable prices, large selection of different meals, clean, warm atmosphere, great service. Highly recommended!“

“Adorable little cafe tucked into the side of a gym so it’s a little difficult to find. Their menu is fun and the staff is SO friendly and sweet, however the coffee was a little off for me. I got a blueberry latte when I visited and the espresso didn’t taste exactly right or strong enough and you couldn’t really taste the blueberry at all. Maybe adjusting the recipe might help? Their chocolate croissants are probably the best I’ve ever had though and are from a local baker I was told! All in all it’s a cozy little spot to go to!“

“I had a productive work from home day here at Caribbrew Café. The cajun sausage & egg sandwich was delicious and the matcha had that Haitian flavor(probably the nutmeg lol) that made it stand out from your average matcha latte. The atmosphere was peaceful and quiet and made for a really good space to get some work done. You can definitely taste the Haitian seasoning in every bite of the food. Thank you so much for bringing a piece of Haiti to Newark!“

“Excellent place to enjoy a really great cup of coffee. Everything is delicious, especially the desserts—they’re not overly sweet or overwhelming, which is perfect.
Both hot and cold drinks are amazing, and the coffee experience itself is outstanding; you can truly taste the quality.
On top of that, the atmosphere is very welcoming and the service is super friendly and attentive. Definitely a place worth coming back to. Highly recommended!

Thank you, guys!“

“Very good bakery. Nice ambience.“

“Enjoyed the best coffee and pumpkin bread in this lovely coffee shop run by a fantastic staff!“

“If you’re in the Montville/Boonton area, you’ve got to check out Howards mediterranean Café and Bagels — absolutely top-notch! Not only is the food legit, but the owner Karim went above and beyond to support us during our soft opening at Montville Pickleball & Golf Club. Much love to him for the hookup“

“Excellent ambiance, amazing drinks, and the best customer service !“

“The freshest and tastiest meals i've ever had, ohh and they are super fast with delivery orders too. My favorites are the greek salad with chicken and a healthy beet juice“

“Excellent staff and great coffee. Highly recommend and worth every penny!“

“My favorite place in New Jersey, I love spending my weekend afternoons here, food and coffee is amazing but the people it’s something else… you may see someone reading, someone else studying, a group of friends and even a person watching a movie with a cup of coffee in their hands. Love this place a lot“

“OMG my family absolutely loves the Comfort Kitchen. Such a fantastic addition to Kinnelon. We have been there so many times and have tried literally everything on the menu and it is always delicious. Bri is amazing and it just feels like home when you go in. Highly recommend.“

“Best Gluten Free pizza you will find. Reminds Me of the days before I was diagnosed with Celiac, I will be back for more“

“This is my favorite cafe!! Every barista is so cool, I love the atmosphere when I come to do work here, and the coffee is delicious. The consistency is the same no matter who makes my drink and I love that! The prices are totally reasonable and the selection is perfect. I love the seasonal beverage options. 10/10 love you, eagle rock cafe! ♡“

“Fantastic drip coffee. Delicious cheddar scallion scone.

Close quarters that could be cozy or overbearing depending on time and mood: 3 tables (2 seats each), 2 loungers (tight space in the back), one bench by the entrance.

Definitely will be back for the coffee and pastries!“

“Shoutout to Lightbulb Coffee Shop! Awesome Iced Coffee with oat milk and a Dirty Chai! We will be back!!“

“Pyszne zdrowe deserki na każdą okazję 🌹🌹“

“George's was amazing to work with. They were more than willing to help me plan a nice breakfast spread for my students...complete with full platters of scrambled eggs, bacon, sausage, pancakes, hash browns, fruit... They were kind enough to help me pack my car as well. I would HIGHLY recommend them! 👌 👍“

“My wife and I were shopping in Montclair and stopped for breakfast at the Bluestone Coffee Company. Bluestone is a coffee cafe and coffee roaster serving breakfast and lunch items. The atmosphere is cozy and warm and their coffee robust. We selected breakfast options of a veggie omelette with cheddar cheese and the zucchini parmesan frittata. Both came with a choice of toast and roasted potatoes. Both were fresh and savory and the potatoes roasted perfectly. Staff was friendly and prices were moderate and fair. Bluestone is a very good choice for breakfast and lunch.“

“Best pour over ever!!☕️☕️☕️🙂“

“Exceptional goods/services from EXCEPTIONAL people.

It makes me very happy that this exists in a town/area that means a lot to myself and many others.

I encourage everyone reading this, whether you are in the mood for food, milk tea, or other treats, they have you covered here and with a smile and great conversations.

Bless the owners of this establishment that have spent their lives making the lives of others better via their hard work and tasty recipes!!!“

“This place has completely stolen my heart! The owners are the kindest people, and the staff is always so warm and welcoming. I stop in almost every day for my daily coffee and chocolate fix—and let me tell you, the cookies are out of this world. Everything is made in small batches with such care and quality. Plus, the space is so cozy and inviting. It’s seriously a hidden gem!“

“My first time trying them was amazing, my aunt, cousins along with myself did a coffee tasting there and everything was great!! I had the FFF (Triple F) with a HEC on brioche 🔥! Service was exceptional as well, definitely a comeback whenever I’m in NJ again“

“Best ice cream shop in Essex County if not the entire state of NJ. You can taste the difference in quality, creaminess, ingredients, no artificial flavors. Small micro batches made with natural ingredients and real flavors. Great owner and staff. Very nice people who go above and beyond to help create a wonderful experience. Small space but the flavor is large. They are getting ready to launch their second storefront in Lyndhurst. Go check them out. You won’t be disappointed. Favorite flavors include: Strawberry Baklava Chocolate But all are incredibly good!“
