50 Best Cafes near Dunellen

“I love having a Dominican bakery so close. Everything we’ve had there has been FABULOUS!!! Honestly, some of the best coconut macaroons I have ever had and that includes ones I’ve had in DR. I had a coconut tree leches cake, and a strawberry short cake cup, which were both out of this world. The cold brew is so good, and the pumpkin sauce is on point. They’re also super friendly. Next time I need to try the pastelitos (empanadas).“

“More then food - kindness & 💜“

“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 had such a good experience coming here I’ve been wanting to try this place for a while. The food was phenomenal and our server, Danielle, was so amazing. I celebrated my 25th birthday and she made it such a fun experience with her beautiful energy. Thank you Danielle!!! (Pls give her the prize or I will cry)“

“Koko Loko Coffee is such a calm little escape.
I had the pistachio latte and it was fantastic balanced, nutty, and not overly sweet.
The barista was warm and welcoming, which really adds to the overall vibe. Inside, it’s bright, minimal, and quietly buzzing, perfect for reading, working, or chatting without yelling over noise.
Loved the long communal tables and clean, modern décor. If you’re looking for a peaceful spot with great coffee, this place absolutely deserves a 5-star stop.“

“This place is amazing so glad I found it! Was in the hunt for a good smoothie place. My hunt is officially over. five stars recommend.“

“A gem tucked within a perfectly walkable distance from Rutgers and downtown spots. Their grilled chicken sandwich is a savory standout: juicy, spiced just right, and served warm with a satisfying crunch. I love to pair it with a cup of Kashmiri Kahwa which is fragrant saffron-infused tea that’s both soothing and subtly floral. The ambience blends South Asian charm with modern comfort, making it ideal for both quiet solo visits and lively catch-ups.“

“Amazing please to spend the evening and have amazing food, waited by the most amazing staff and owners.“

“Loved the shroom sando and the cold brew“

“Delicious Boba!!! Camp Becca approved!! ❤️💕“

“Frequent customer, but always blown away with the freshness of their summer menu. The shrimply the best tacos, which was originally on a tostada last summer, was just as amazing, but didn’t sit as heavy as a tostada. Love the move to a light tortilla. The Mexi-Avo toast was so filling and the flavors melted together so nicely. Don’t forget the decor inside is so cozy, boho/havana vibe and perfect for a date or girl’s brunch. 10/10“

“What a gem! I hadn’t been here in four years and decided to go back with my goddaughter. we both had an amazing time. The service was prompt, the staff was super friendly, and the decor is absolutely beautiful; it feels like stepping into another world. We shared the calamari to start, then she had the lamb adana (which she devoured!), and I had the chicken adana, which I loved. Everything was cooked perfectly and full of flavor. We ended with kanzimbidi, and she swore it tasted like Dubai chocolate! She’s already asking to go back,maybe for Mother’s Day. Highly recommend!“

“New ownership and they serve wonderful authentic Mexican food. Amazing tacos.“

“We picked up assorted sandwiches for a party on Sunday and they were amazing! We got so many compliments from our guests. Thank you!“

“Boxwood Cafe is a gem! The owner has created a high quality coffee shop and the employees are very friendly. I like to stop by for a latte and a baked good (scone, cookie, or blueberry bar) and sit outside at one of the side tables. Pre-Covid, they hosted open mic night and quiz night every month. Now Steve hosts a monthly Zoom Quiz Night and it is so much fun! A great locally owned cafe.“

“Just had the apple turnover, it was incredible.“

“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!“

“We love the atmosphere, the delicious homemade soups, main dishes, and desserts at the lovely Friends Friend's Cafe :) the jazz evenings outdoors, the chess-playing and studying students & Mo, Josephine, and Hannah with the heart of gold for all furry friends who are welcome inside the cafe, and, of course, on the patio <3 <3 <3 Below is our Rover enjoying his doggie meal and a comfy bed at the cafe :)“

“Wow! So delighted at this amazing bakery in Westfield run by the most talented couple and now they have a new one in Morristown too! My son is so picky and adores their key lime pie, Boston Crème donuts and Snickerdoodle cookies ! And these are 5 star treats ! Enjoy and join their loyalty program too to save … what a gift to New Jersey ! 💙🩵“

“La schiacciata e’ ottima, l’ambiente elegante ed accogliente. Golosi i panini, i dolci ed i croissant!“

“Lifehack - although you need a membership to use the facilities inside the YMCA, anyone can come in and get their snack fix (workout optional).

Its a small cafe, but offers enough essentials. They sell pizzas, empandas, burgers, fries... as well healthy juice bar and variety drink options.

But their main feature is the acai bowls - acai, pitahaya or coconut base options. There's a handful of pre-built choices (loaded with fruits, granola, nutella or peanut butter) or create your own. Quick and efficient and beautifully prepared... our Berrytella and Dragon Kiwi bowls came out fresh and delicious.

Will definitely be back, and might even convince me to actually use the gym.“

“The food is exemplary. Everything I’ve had here is delicious, from the eggs benny and the paris morning breakfast with potato latkes, smoked salmon and peefectly poached eggs, to the freshly made blintzes and pancakes. Plus it’s dog friendly on the patio where i take my little biewer terrier, Wolfie, for his fave maple bacon! Staff is so friendly and helpful. And don’t miss their lattes!“

“Amazing Cinnamon Rolls. Perfectly baked dough, not over done. Extra Cinnamon, not the cheap stuff and plenty of sweet glaze for the top.“

“It’s always nice and clean. And the staff is very helpful. I just love this place always buying what I don’t really need😊“

“The best cappuccino I’ve ever had! A legit coffee shop with strong, quality espresso—and even the smell of the coffee inside is amazing. The older gentleman behind the counter was quiet but very kind, originally from Napoli. This is definitely my new go-to coffee spot. I’ll be dreaming about this cappuccino until I return. YUM!“

“Great breakfasts. World-class home fries!“

“(Translated by Google) Excellent service and quality food, it also has buffet-style food and food for all kinds of events ???? Recommended(Original)Excelente servicio y calidad en la comida, también cuenta con comida tipo buffet y comida para todo tipo de eventos ???? Recomendado“

“The salmon and ingredients were fresh,
and the toppings and rice were well-balanced, making it really delicious!
The service was quite slow but it’s okay.
It felt like it was made with care.
Reasonable price I think.“

“This place is officially my go to local bakery! Victoria and her mom Laurence have been nothing but kind and helpful each time I’ve went in. My friends and family raved about the triple chocolate cake i picked up for my sisters birthday and my best friend and i enjoy a quiet breakfast and cafe on the weekends! The decor is so welcoming and bright. It’s a great place to sit, and relax! I highly recommend this place to anyone looking for delicious pastries and French imports. It’s a piece of home for my mom, as well! 🇫🇷🥖🥐🥮🧁🎂💕“
