50 Best Coffee Shops near Colonia

“Boston Cream is my favorite, all 300 calories.......Lololo♡ Went for a walk afterwards♡“

“We heard great things about this place and they lived up to every one! We’re definitely returning.“

“Love it!!� ����������“

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

“Great location great business grade coffee downtown , Cranford the best“

“I had a great experience at this place! I got a matcha latte and it came out absolutely perfect. The girl at the counter, Laura, was extremely friendly and helpful. She made my drink quickly and efficiently.

This place also has an amazing ambiance to get some work done and plenty of seating. Will definitely be back!“

“The Grind is my favorite local coffee shop! I never miss an opportunity to tell my friends about it! The girls are always super sweet and my coffee or matcha are always 10/10! For a coffee shop in Tottenville I also feel like the prices are reasonable! Only downside is that the parking can sometimes be difficult if it's a school day.“

“Great place! A coffee hangout for the post modern beat generation !“

“Loved the shroom sando and the cold brew“

“We went here for coffee ☕️on a Sunday morning. The shop is nicely decorated, it has a rustic tone 🐮 to it. There's a high counter at the window, a long booth type seat against one wall with some tables, some cozy chairs scattered around, and a couple of free-standing tables. There was plenty of seating available when we arrived.
Like I said we ordered coffee. The food 🥐🍪🍰 displayed looked delicious but we didn't have anything, I was pleasantly surprised to see some gluten-free options 😋 It was also very nice that after we ordered and sat down when our coffee was ready they brought it to our table.
The coffee was decent. I give it one mug out of two.
The one thing I should point out if you're not from the area, parking is not always easy. There is street parking and public parking lots but they do fill up fast and most days you have to pay for parking. Be prepared to walk, pleasantly surprised if you get close parking and allow yourself time to walk there.“

“Amazing Food and service !!“

“Highly recommend Lidios for all of your floral needs! Maria put some beautiful arrangements together for me for multiple events, and her work is truly spectacular! The flowers always have guests talking and always add a special touch. 💐🎉“

“Great spot for coffee and the owners are super friendly.“

“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!!“

“I'm a regular here and it's always a pleasant experience. It's one of two locations that I frequent most and since I'm traveling throughout the day and night depending on the day of
Week I know I can depend on them to be open and prepared to serve! Every one of the employees are friendly, kind and considerate working quickly and efficiently in a timely fashion** plus side**it's always nice to be greeted by a smiling face ..a hard working employee who actually puts effort into the job aiming to please the customer not always the case at
Other locations or in general . My only complaint here: the surroundings the environment is run down and looks dirty ...hardly appealing to new residents or potential customers coming thru the neighborhood would be easily turned off by the way the atmosphere is kept and the lack of nicely kept landscaping - esthetically investing in A major overhaul and some system of cleanliness of the drive thru area would be extremely helpful and ideal. If you go elsewhere you find this to be less an issue. Thank you to all the staff members who do the job well and have been apart of my day in a big way...a friendly hello, and getting my order right is not a lot
To ask for and truly makes my day! ?“

“I love this cozy spot in the main downtown of South Amboy. Their coffee and breakfast sandwiches are good, which is exactly what I needed. The Java Dave's special is my perfect order with pork roll (or bacon), egg and cheese with a hash brown. The girls working there are very sweet and attentive. Check it out if you're in the area.

Parking: There's street parking, but you normally don't have to park far if you can parallel park.“

“Penstock is great. Their tea is awesome and it always hits the spot. Also, the staff is very helpful and down to Earth.“

“Nice atmosphere. Both pictures groups. I love Pink floyd beetles“

“It was my first time there, and the lady who identified herself as the owner (Kelly) was very pleasant and helpful. She took her time explaining the drinks and their ingredients to me. I left there with 3 orders??‍♀️. The drinks were so good. Directions from Google were confusing. If you know the area, Highland Bubble Tea is on the opposite end of the bridge where Jersey Boys Pizza is located.
It can be tricky if you don't know the area. It's almost across from the new Performing Arts Center in Avenel! So, if you're looking at the PAC from Avenel St., in Avenel, Highland Bubble Tea is on your left side, across the street b4 going down the bridge. Lots of drinks and tasty snacks to enjoy. I didn't give it 5 stars because of the parking and the difficulty in finding it. Enjoy!!!“

“An incredible experience at Panas House! I loved the food, it really exceeded all my expectations. The quality of the dishes is impressive, priceless. Every bite was full of flavor and love, with fresh and well-prepared ingredients. The plates are quite large, which makes the value for money even better. It shows that they take care of every detail, from presentation to flavor. I will definitely come back and recommend it to everyone!“

“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.“

“Had the best time! The employees gave great recommendations on what to drink when I couldn’t make up my mind. They made the experience very personal and cozy. I really appreciated it after a long day at work honestly. Coffee was pretty good and the atmosphere overall was great. Love the decor.“

“Nice little spot where there's not much else around so its super convenient. Finally stopped by for an iced cold brew and it was really good. Great friendly service, would definitely stop by again. It's a trailer in the parking lot of the Willow Grove church, you can't miss it.

Parking: Church parking lot, free.“

“I love their chai. I've been here a few times, and have had my fair share of chai at the "trendy" spots, and will say this is definitely up there. Their desserts are pretty great as well. I'd definitely recommend this spot for anyone wanting great desi chai. ?“

This place is usually busy; I suggest registering for the online waiting list. (Waiting time: 20-30 min approx.) The service is fast, the place is very warm, clean and the dishes are very well presented.“

“I love their salmon toast. One of my favorites. Great coffee menu.“

“The baristas are super friendly, the atmosphere is very modern- greenery lining the cafe to make you feel like you're not in a busy city of NJ but in a cute garden-esque getaway! The baristas went above and beyond, pulling out a book to ensure the drink I asked for was fully dairy free. So glad I discovered this shop for my work day coffees!

Vegetarian options: Some of the coffee syrups are dairy free. They also have packaged snacks items that are labeled vegan.

Dietary restrictions: They have a book of references for dairy allergies“

“Very good coffee and pastries! Happy to have this place in the neighborhood. Hot and cold drink are great and not all sugar etc. Tried the pandan, lavender and caramel and spinach feta pastry all delicious.

Dietary restrictions: They have coconut milk and not all cafes have that choice!“

“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.“

“The only place that can give me exactly what I’m looking for when it comes to my coffee!“

“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!“

“Great Food Excellent Service!“

“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!“

“Rankin St. Deli offers delicious, high-quality sandwiches with fresh ingredients and great flavors. Everything is made to order, ensuring a satisfying meal every time. Whether you're a fan of classic sandwiches or looking to try something new, Rankin St. Deli delivers on taste and quality. Highly recommended for a quick, tasty bite!“

“Best rainbow cookies on the island!“

“Ah - high quality coffee made for individuals. Never a bad cup of coffee... each personally made to your instructions. Or if you're like me - just let the Barista do his thing - he's never steered me wrong.“

“What a cute little breakfast spot. We shared a couple dishes and everything was absolutely delicious. The multigrain toast that came with our eggs was ridiculously delicious. The star of the show for me was the lemon blueberry poppyseed pancake. I would literally return to the restaurant just for those. Our waiter was amazing and checked up on us frequently. The presentation of the restaurant was amazing and they even have a little shop you can buy some local stuff. Definitely will be returning.“

“Dietary restrictions: I can't eat tree nuts so some of their offerings would be off limits for me. But my friend brought me a lemon jellied candy that was softly dusted in powdered sugar and it was amazing! The flavor was delicate and it was a perfect treat. Looking forward to seeing what else can work for me.“

“Tried matcha almond milk latte and it was way tooo sweet… idk if their milk is oversweetened or the matcha powder comes w sugar. But it tasted so unhealthy, as if I had 5 teaspoons of sugar in it. However the girls baristas were nice and seemed kind!“

“El menú es rico y variado , buena atención.😍🙏“

“Firstly, the donuts are delicious. Secondly, we ordered a set of custom donuts and they exceeded our expectations. The donuts didn't look like the examples of the colors they showed me... THEY LOOKED BETTER. They ended up matching the color samples I sent them exactly. The transaction was easy/quick. We'll be back! <3“

“By far the best pastéis de nata I’ve ever had! Thanks for bringing us a little taste of Portugal. Can’t wait to try the bifanas🇵🇹🇵🇹“

“Had an amazing latte here for the first time last week. I was fabulous!“
