50 Best Coffee Shops near Colts Neck

“Best rook ever! I hope the manager knows they have the absolute nicest girls working here! Me and my nana have been coming here before college testing, we don’t live around the area. The girl behind the counter remembered i was taking my test and asked me about it a week later when i was up here to take my next test. That meant so much to me!
also the Banana toffee is TO DIE FOR!!!“

“I tried out the Grind after lots of great reviews from people in the area. The place is definitely cute and parking is convenient. I stopped in to grab something to go, but it looks like the dining room had lots of people happily eating. While it was a busy morning (around 10am on a weekday) it did take quite some time to be acknowledged by the staff at the counter and I won’t day there was a warm and fuzzy kind of vibe that I’d get somewhere like Rook. It was pretty transactional and that’s about it. I went with a specialty latte (the Samoa cookie latte). I honestly didn’t realize it was iced when I ordered it, but that’s ok. I will say it was exceptionally sweet and more syrup flavor than actual coffee. I ended up adding loads of extra milk when I got home (and even added some as space cleared up—this thing was SWEET and syrupy). I maybe picked the wrong drink for me, so I’ll say that’s on me for sure. Got a few bagels, quite good and a Nutella pop tart…pretty good. Overall I wasn’t blown away by the service or drinks, but I want to give it another try. It could have been a crazy day and I could have picked the wrong drink for me. I’ll be sure to update this review in the future.“

“Stopped in to treat my grandkids to munchkins after a picnic at Dorbrook park.“

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

“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. 🥰🥰“

“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.“

“Great value and quality! Highly recommend!“

“Took the dog to the animal hospital nearby and stopped in for a cappuccino. I was impressed with the operation, and the different type of coffees and preparations. Definitely a great place for coffee.“

“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!“

“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.“

“I’ve been about 5 times so far and LOVE Emelio’s! The food is fresh and delicious and the portions generous. Even their simple side salad is something special - delicious, light dressing. And the service is great, which is hard to come by these days. It’s clearly a family-run place where Everyone cares about the quality. Also impeccably clean!“

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

“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.

“Such a cute place. Counter guy very friendly. Great smoothies..will definitely be my to go place for coffee“

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

“Get place, nice people and it is indoor or outdoor dining!“

“Great pour overs, well trained staff“

“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.“

“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.“

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

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

“Rook in Freehold made itself a staple in my morning routine! Not only do they craft a fantastic product to help jumpstart my daily productivity, but the employees are some of the kindest people going. It’s hard not to smile when in the building, knowing you’re going to indulge in a delicious cup of coffee and chat with a great staff of people. Thank you Rook in Freehold, I will see you tomorrow.“

“Yummy!! Love the speciality donuts!!“

“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.“

“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.“

“Adorable location and delicious selections of fresh coffee. Such a pleasure ☕️☕️“

“THE BREAKFAST AND LUNCH (FOOD OVERALL) IS AMAZING!!! WOW, THE BEST I'VE HAD IN CENTRAL JERSEY. EVERYTHING IS COOKED TO PERFECTION. THIS WAS MY FIRST TIME HAVING THEIR BREAKFAST AND LUNCH AND THIS PLACE HAS WON ME OVER. IM VERY PICKY WHEN IT COMES TO A GOOD BREAKFAST, THIS PLACE HAS FULFILLED MY NEEDS. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND AND WILL REVISIT TIME-TO-TIME. SO GLAD I FINALLY FOUND A PLACE I LIKE. 🙌“

“Been going here since it opened, as a great place to sit in the sun outdoors, or inside at the various seating options. Fine coffee, great service from long time friendly staff members here, and a top place for casual meetings on the West Side of Red Bank. Limited but tasty food options.“

“When you want the best ���“

“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 !“

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

“Owen the employee does a great job making my wife and I ice coffees“

“Came here for a morning cup of joe. Good medium roast iced coffee for me and the Turkish coffee for my friend. We enjoyed our coffees, the Turkish coffee has a great cardamom aroma. Friendly and quick service. There's no seating so take your coffee and walk around town.“

“Bakers on Broad has quickly become a town favorite in Red Bank, and after visiting, I totally get why! Tucked right on Broad Street, this spot has such a warm, inviting vibe—great for sitting down and relaxing with a book, or just grabbing a coffee with friends. The owner clearly puts a lot of care into this place—the dessert and baked goods menu actually changes from time to time. Love that energy that I can walk in and always try a different coffee special, for instance. I ordered an Iced Madagascar Vanilla Latte. The coffee was incredibly smooth and delicious. Also would love to grab one of their artisan bagels next time, since I’ve heard they are phenomenal. That and I will have to try a house-made baked good (the menu rotates so just get whatever looks good that day). Everything looks fresh and it it clear that the drinks and food alike are made with care. The employees are super nice, too. Easily one of the best cafes in the area. Whether you’re a Red Bank local or just passing through, do yourself a favor and stop in!“

“great place to stop for breakfast!! bagels are excellent and so are the breakfast sandwiches and everything that they have is good..... and the owner is very nice..“

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

“Love this place and the folks who run it! Fresh food and great service every time! The French dip Sammy is THE BOMB!💣. The best👍“

“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.“

“Big vibes for a little place. It was a great way to start my morning this morning, from the good mornings and positive and uplifting energy from the employees (from both Pat’s and Coffee Surf) to their breakfast sandwich and the BEST cup of Chai tea I have had in a while. I highly recommend both places.“

“Awesome place. Our order was ready in a few minutes. The place gave us ocean beach vibes and we had the pleasure of having who I assume was the owner come and give our daughter some stickers which she was excited to receive. Can’t wait to come back.“

“This was soooo freaking tasty 😋 I was shocked, impressed and absolutely blown away with Hands of royalty that made me this Devine drink .
I am so happy right now it tastes sooooo freaking sexy omggg yessss . I will see yall new year's for the discounted merchandise but I will be back for a another cup of gold soon. until then stay super riders.“

“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.“

“This is my closest local dunkin & we go through the drive-through almost every day. I have a serious matcha latte addiction & we prefer Dunkin’s drinks over the competition. Our lattes are always made perfectly & our food/snack orders are always as requested. Staff is professional, friendly& personable.I continue to order from this location. Thanks guys!

Vegetarian options: The humus or avocado toast with roasted sun dried tomatoes are favorites’

Parking: There is immediate parking in front, but this is a Large parking plaza (conveniently shared with Bay Shore Pharmacy, FoodTown Supermarket, Pomodoro Rosso Pizza, a dry cleaner, a liquor store and A sub shop) so you will always find parking near by.“

“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.“

“A passionate owner is the first step to a successful business and you have that here. Great pork roll and coffee is a plus. Highly recommend this place.“
