50 Best Coffee Shops 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).“

“Great spot for a meeting! Great food and the best coffee!“

“Amazing drinks!! Dairy free alternatives and fantastic local pastries. Love Bubz!!“

“Love it!!� ����������“

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

“I was happy to discover KOKO LOKO when searching for an alternative to the downtown cafés in New Brunswick. The pistachio latte is delicious- it’s smooth but still flavorful and has crushed pistachios mixed in. And for a good-sized latte with plant milk, the price was affordable. I loved chatting with the barista, too. The place has a laid-back and quiet but still creative vibe, plenty of outlets and plants! It would be great to linger and write or craft there on a cooler day.“

“Amazing Food and service !!“

“Great coffee shop! Everything is organic in the shop. Love their cold brew Shandy, which you can customize with their various organic syrups throughout the entire year. Also their bacon breakfast sandwich and large crumble cookies (they have four or five different kinds) are to die for. And their organic lemonade is also awesome! And the barista’s know their stuff. I also like their grab and go organic sandwiches.“

“Loved the shroom sando and the cold brew“

“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“

“I have been a customer for two years now, and I really enjoy the taste of their coffee beans. They’ve recently expanded their menu to include a variety of new items, like a delicious hash brown. I’m also excited that they’ll be introducing their sandwich menu very soon.“

“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.“

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

“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!“

“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.“

“Brenda, who works the cashier at the Paris Baguette is seriously amazing! I went in last week during the afternoon rush, and despite the chaos, she was super friendly and helpful. It's not just that she's efficient at ringing people up; she actually makes you feel welcome.

I was having a tough day, and her cheerful attitude totally turned things around. She recommended the mochi donuts, which were delicious, by the way! You can tell she really enjoys her job and cares about the customers.

Honestly, in a world where customer service can sometimes be lacking, Brenda shines. She's a total asset to that Paris Baguette, and I'll definitely be back, not just for the pastries, but also for the great service!“

“Visited for first time. Food and service were great. I have to say I was not pleased with the Pet situation. I am a dog lover, but pets in a restaurant is not appealing at all. The dogs were barking, doing their busy on the sidewalk, spilling drinking water out of saucers. This was a bit too much. Sorry I'm not a pet hater, but safety and sanitary issues would keep me from visiting again.“

“Great Food Excellent Service!“

“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.“

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

“Today, I tried Gregorys Coffee in NJ for the first time. The seating was comfortable, and they had plenty of room for groups of all sizes. The atmosphere was cozy, and the decor was nice. The coffee was good, but not the best I've had. Overall, it's a solid spot to grab a cup of coffee.“

“Excellent family friendly cafe 🍵Recommend the chai masala, lavender donut and rose elixir matcha! Follow @maria.angelspear for more cafe gems ☕️🎀✨“

“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.“

“Billy, le barrister is amazing as is the other barrister, sorry didn't catch his name! Coffee, pastries, donuts and atmosphere is fabulous. Customer service is unbeatable, thank you ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“Stopped here for lunch on our way to Virginia. Can't wait to come back. Food was fresh and original. Loved the fries, BLT pasta salad, and raspberry lemonade. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐“

“We love this restaurant! My husband and I came here multiple times in one week after we decided to try it. The food is very fresh, and the teas are tasty. The dessert is also very good! We recommend the tomato sauce with egg and beef dish and the baked fried rice with curry sauce. I really like the pineapple bun and the Hong Kong milk tea, and my husband likes the milky french toast.“

“The tacos were amazing. Portions were generous and everything tasted authentic.“

“Muy buen servicio, la comida con el mejor sabor en New Jersey.“

“Great selection of craft beer, snacks very good (nothing for vegan, though) and happy hour fun and a bargain. Friendly and attentive staff.“

“Absolutely obsessed with this place! If you’ve never tried Turkish desserts before, Apricot in Westfield is the perfect introduction. It’s run by the sweetest family, and you can truly taste the love in everything they make. The baklava is next-level — crispy, buttery, not overly sweet — and their Turkish coffee is bold, smooth, and brewed to perfection. It feels like a little trip to Istanbul without leaving New Jersey. Support small businesses like this — they’re the heart of the community!“

“Tiny location, packs a pearl.... comedy. ?I love their Thai Tea Boba and their waffles are amazing ?? whether you like croffles or their house made (?) batter. All smoothies I've had have been delicious as well as their Dolgona(hope I'm spelling that right) coffee boba! SUPPORT THIS BUSINESS??tons of parking btw!“

“todo es delicioso y buen servicio“

“I recently visited the Dunkin located in Scotch Plains, NJ, and I had a mixed experience that I'd like to share.First and foremost, the customer service I received was outstanding. When I walked in, it was evident that the guy behind the counter was working alone, yet he managed to handle everything efficiently. He greeted me with a warm smile and was quick to take my order, making sure I got exactly what I wanted. Despite the rush, he remained attentive and patient, which greatly enhanced my visit.However, my positive experience took a hit when I needed to use the restroom. Unfortunately, it was not in the best condition. It was evident that a previous customer had left it in a messy state, which was disappointing. I expected a higher level of cleanliness, especially considering the great service I had received at the counter.I understand that accidents happen, but maintaining restroom cleanliness should be a priority for any establishment. This aspect of my visit left a bit of a sour taste in my mouth, as it detracted from the overall positive impression I had of the Dunkin location.In conclusion, while the customer service at this Dunkin in Scotch Plains, NJ, was top-notch, I hope the management can pay more attention to restroom cleanliness to ensure a consistently pleasant experience for all customers. I'll still return for their delicious coffee and donuts, but I hope to see improvements in this area in the future.“
