50 Best Coffee Shops near Cliffwood

“I actually had to take the time to give this place a five star review because I was so impressed by their service, atmosphere And friendliness. The staff that was working this morning was absolutely amazing and truly are the reason I will continue to come back to this one even though I am a Hazlet resident and used to go to THE ONE in Hazlet, but stopped a while ago because the staff and attitude there is so absolutely horrific. I left them a review today also just because it showed me how disappointing their location is and that they should really go to the Cliffwood location and be trained by them. Even the coffee was better. Five star review across the board!“

“Great coffee by the pour over aficionado. Brew has many choices in coffee flavors that will satisfy your pallet.“

“I go here multiple times a week. The owner is always very nice and the place is so inviting. Sometimes I order pickup and sometimes I bring a friend to have coffee and lunch. It’s the greatest spot. Highly recommend the ruby turkey sandwich. I’m very thankful they have gluten free bread. 🥰🥰“

“I ordered a maple cold brew with pistachio cold foam from their winter menu and a few donuts. It was all delicious!“

“My wife’s birthday was this past week. The only thing she asked for was a cake from Turquoise! And that’s what she got. The fluffiest, sweetest Red Velvet cake and Cream Cheese. Decorated to perfection! I’m trying to post a photo or two but the app won’t allow it. Oh well… take my word for it. Delicious.“

“Cozy setting and great service. Really enjoyed popcorn chicken. We ordered a lot of drinks for the family last minute unfortunately but they were able to make sure everything fit in the bag and if it didn't they gave a small bag with the extra drink to carry.“

“Amazing Food and service !!“

“Such a small, cute cafe but seriously amazing coffee. I tried their iced caramel macchiato and a couple of their specialty drinks, and everything was so good. You can tell they really care about the quality. The vibe is cozy and welcoming.. definitely a spot I’d come back to again. Highly recommend if you’re in the area!“

“Not being from the area (South Jersey), I've wanted to try LeGrand Coffee House for quite a while now. So on a trip up to NY a couple days ago, we finally got the chance to stop in on our way up the Parkway. This place is amazing! This beautifully-decorated coffee house had some of THE best coffee I've ever had in my entire life. I got TWO lattes while I was there (a French Vanilla and a Honey Almond). My family and I also got the chicken pesto sandwich, and it was absolutely delicious. My daughter had an iced chai tea latte and loved it. DEFINITELY get to this place if at all possible! Two thumbs up!!“

“best in the biz! coffee 🔥, sandwiches 🔥, ambiance 🔥“

“Too damn good. I been searching for a local cafe to replace these greedy corporate ones and found this little gem. This is my third visit so that says something. The staff is always super friendly and personalable. Even met the owner and she’s super sweet! Her coffee creations are so creative and pretty and tastes so damn good as I mentioned previously. The vibe will feel so nostalgic especially for my fellow millennials. And they also put a cute little inspo message on the lid of the cup. It’s the cutesy details for me. Highly recommend!“

“Brewed Awakening is the perfect spot for breakfast, brunch, or lunch. The food is consistently delicious, and some of my favorites include the BLT Sandwich (always made to perfection), the omelettes, and their Apple Caramel Butter Latte—a delightful seasonal treat. I first discovered the latte through a social media post a few weeks ago, and now Brewed Awakening has become my go-to spot every Sunday for a relaxing meal. The service is always warm and welcoming. Annie, the owner, often makes an appearance on the floor, either serving or checking in with guests to ensure they’re enjoying their visit. Her kindness and genuine hospitality make the experience even more special. I highly recommend stopping by Brewed Awakening for a delicious meal and a cozy, inviting atmosphere. You won’t be disappointed!“

“An Episode of the Podcast Local neighborhood experts Sharon and Kyle was filmed here 1/8/25 at California Cold Co in Brick NJ. Upon first entering this chic coffee shop, you can’t help but noticing the stylish trendy muted palettes, industrial ceiling and altogether sophisticated atmosphere. The key elements are clean lines, uncluttered space, and focus on natural elements. The star of the show the coffee. My co-host Kyle and I stayed with the traditional coffee with a shot of espresso and cold brew, however, there are endless specialty coffee drinks to choose from as we were leaving. We were offered a complimentary avocado toast, which was delicious. If you’re looking for Instagrammable photos and modern space look no further than California Cold Co. in Brick New Jersey.

“I have dined here multiple times. The food is always great as is the service. The restaurant has a cute vibe, however the last few times I have eaten here the restaurant has been extremely dirty. The silverware is not clean and the tables and floors are not clean. The tables nearby remain uncleared for the duration of our dining. I want to keep dining here, but it really needs to be better kept.“

“Great coffee and delicious breakfast/brunch food.“

“Stopped by with a friend because we saw this café all over TikTok and we definitely were not disappointed. We bought one of each of the viral pastries and they were flavorful and delicious. We will definitely be back.“

“the staff is excellent nahum end sulma yarixa the guy who helps you select the food for the bowl is amazing. also the manager at night is also very sweet! great environment! food is amazing. they also have specials and also can get points. the service is above and beyond“

“Loved this cute little place!!! My daughter and I were out and about, and wanted to get some coffee, but not from the regular “chain” coffee shop, so after a quick search, we headed to Metuchen. We were lucky enough to get parking right outside, and walked in to be pleasantly surprised by the esthetic vibe. Everything was super clean, and we were greeted right away by the super friendly employee. My daughter ordered a cappuccino and I got iced coffee. We also got a cheese and pesto savory pastry and a passion fruit and coconut tres leches dessert. Everything was delicious!!!!! Thanks for the enjoyable experience. We will definitely return.“

“Yummy!! Love the speciality donuts!!“

“Me and my friends when on a Saturday morning and we loved it. We were a group of 6. The waitress that helped us was super nice and friendly. She helped us set the table for the group. She speaks English and Spanish. The food was a 10/10. We had the avocado roast, omelettes, French toast and the tiramisu toast. Everything was amazing. The place is a little small for large groups but the ambience is five stars. I’ll definitely visit again.“

“Been here a few times, their coffee is delicious, especially their nitro! And the owner is a special ed teacher, and really nice. I hear they're getting their food license soon!“

“Yummy coffee and very kind staff. Highly recommend“

“Awesome customer service with the best coffee!!! they care about coffee art. they started making mine one day and it wasnt coming out right so he made it over to perfection! 1st class service!! I travel over 15 min to get this coffee.“

“They did a great job on a custom cake. Fair price, pretty and tasty.“

“Extremely filling and tasty bowls. Love the Trailblazer“

“We were looking for Brasilian salgadinhos to snack on during the Copa 2024 Brasil game. We found a large assortment at Cafe Cirino.
It’s a small place, with tables. A surprisingly large menu, with lots of choices. Gabriela took our order, which was made on the spot and well packaged for the trip home.
Paid parking across the street.“

“We were walking through Historic Richmond Town, hungry, not really expecting much, and ended up at Main Street Coffee. Glad we did.

Got the chicken quesadilla, sweet potato fries, and a green tea lemonade. The quesadilla was greasy, not gonna lie, but in the way you actually want it to be. Filling, flavorful, packed. Sweet potato fries were crispy on the outside, soft on the inside, and seasoned just right. And the green tea lemonade? Didn't expect it to be that good. Refreshing, balanced, a little sweet, a little earthy. Could've had two.

The place itself just works. Old wood tables, sunlight coming through the windows, that lived-in feel you can't fake. Staff were friendly and chill, no rushing us, no overdoing it.

One of those spots that doesn't try too hard and doesn't have to. Definitely coming back.“

“This place has variety of Crepes options. It is inside the mall and not having sitting area to enjoy the food but customer service and variety makes it up for the space. They give some free stuff occasionally depending on your order. We went at the closing time but ladies made everything very graciously. 🙏“

“Perfection is an understatement. Kudos!“

“Finally, Keansburg gets a great place to get coffee! The Customer Service is wonderful. The two women that work there are genuine and kind. The coffee is delicious and my favorite is the coconut cold brew. Aside from that I’ll typically get a Nutella strawberry scone, which is out of this world. Even if you’re not in the area coming to pass through is definitely a good idea.“

“OMG... Thank goodness a true Diner has arrived! Moved to Morgan's Bluff 4 yrs ago and I was so disappointed with the Ocean diner. If you can't make a good breakfast or a decent hamburger, you're useless to me as a diner! Guiseppe and son Sergio have already made a name for themselves by serving awesome tasting food in abundance, great service in an immaculate and friendly environment. Love the way they come to each table to see if all is good...making you feel comfortable like they've known you forever!! Keep up the good work. Buena fortuna!“

“I purchased a new Jura ENA 8 from 1st In Coffee. I'm absolutely delighted in every way! This machkne is a magical piece of technology. It makes all coffee drinks PERFECTLY. I have a Gaggia Classic and could never make an espresso drink as good as the Jura. AND its fully automatic. It's truly impressive. Before pulling the trigger, I called some dealers. I was most impressed by Jim at 1st.
He was polite, patient, and he answered all my questions. The machine arrived within a few days in 100% perfect condition. This is an authorized Jura dealer for the last 22+ years. I called Jura Inc. and they confirmed this. Jura Inc. wasn't anywhere near as helpful as 1st! The actual manufacturer! I feel comfortable dealing with this company and look forward to doing business with them again for coffee and supplies.“

“Ray and Jay are some of the sweetest people in all of Keyport“

“Customer should be serced according to how long they are waiting I was Waiting to pick up patiently , more customers came in after me and they are bing served first because they are in front of the register? Meanwhile I have been waiting probably 5 minutes before that person. Bad habit.“

“I’m in love with this location, the baristas are amazing and I’ve never had a bad experience here. My favorite baristas name is Elita, not only does she make a perfect drink every time I order she is kind, compassionate, works at a good pace and is a beautiful person, as all of the workers are, I only remember Elitas name right now. Forgive me 💕💕“

“First visit to this cute little Cafe in Menlo Park Mall. I purchased the Avo madness which was okay. My other party ordered iced coffee of some sort and they were pleased. The lighting was nice and there was also seating. Customer Service was friendly and helpful. I would recommend“

“Absolutely the best coffee on the market today !!! The customer service is amazing.“

“First time here and won't be the last. The ice cream was so good. The only problem with the ice cream was which flavor to choose. every one we tried was so good.“

“My husband usually picks up my mobile orders for me, so I haven't had the pleasure to experience in-store service. But when I do receive my order, it is ALWAYS top tier! I have no complaints. I've been to other Playa Bowls and I'm very thankful this location is my local store. Keep up the great work!!“

“It's a good place to have coffee and relax.“

“America is Ready to run on dunkin“

“Just the best little coffee shop around! I'm not a big coffee guy, but they have an Malt Cold Brew that I get with oat milk that is heavenly and surprisingly doesn't give me the jitters like so many others do. Other times, their Iced Matcha Latte (also with oat milk) is just the right amount of refreshing that I need when stumbling into work there at Bell Works. But, if I'm really being honest, it is the staff there that keeps me coming back each day I work from the office. I feel like Norm from Cheers when I walk in, greeted by name with my customary order already on its way to being made and I don't even need to give them my name or phone number for the loyalty program, such is their attention to customer service. Do yourself a favor and stop by and tell them Gary sent you.“

“Noice food noice iced tea.“

“We went an hour before closing and it felt like the shelves were mostly empty. Would have loved more chocolate options. We enjoyed sharing a raspberry almond croissant but I would try something else next time. Tons of parking clean friendly atmosphere.“

“Just tried Happy Dayz ice cream in Edison - really good! Great selection of flavors - traditional American, sorbet, and some Indian flavors as well (and two sugar free!) Friendly service and fun atmosphere! Open late, even on a Wednesday. (Not to mention cheaper than Carvel) I recommend - go give it a try!“

“Wonderful brunch menu and great service (Thx Kaylee!) Made for an enjoyable Sunday!“

“a melhor padaria e Lanchonete Brasileira dos Estados unidos com os mrlhores Salgado e Pratos feitos“

“Nice employees friendly and eager to help“

“Wow! From the first time I took a bite out of the mix dozen bagels I bought I knew I have found the perfect bagel. Great staff, clean and a delicious variety of coffee.“

“I love Starbucks this particular location is extremely busy and I think management needs more employees. I feel bad for the employees they look stressed and are running and working the hardest and the best they can. They are doing a great job for the amount of volume of customers coming in“
