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!“

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

“Amazing Food and service !!“

“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.“

“SO DELICIOUS Highly recommended“

“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.“

“Amazing place, delicious food!“

“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“

“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!“

“My favorite is the dirty chai...it's so good!! The coffee is pretty good too. The owner is super nice and always has time to say hi! A great place“

“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.“

“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.“

“Such a great vibe. I felt comfortable doing work there on my laptop. Friendly, helpful staff. Excellent coffee and chai. I am enjoying the whole bean coffee I bought for home from them. Plus, the sweet treats are delicious and they have yummy vegan options.“

“A friend recommended. I went by myself and was immediately given the seat at the bar. My server was great, she was quick, friendly. The food was good. I had the beer juice and rise and shine, plus French press coffee. Everything was delicious. The pancakes were extremely soft.. Will
Definitely go again.“

“great atmosphere, coffee, food“

“Amazing hot chocolate, friendly people, and make coffee drinks with your preferences in mind“

“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.“

“Ammmmmmazing! I’ve been a loyal customer from the beginning and they always hit the mark! Love seeing new stuff and always always always friendly faces with 5 star coffee!!“

“Paris Baguette, the Edison location is my ultimate favorite place for taking time for a break, to relax, chat with friends. Welcoming and helpful staff. So many delicious pastries, and lunch items, but always get the lemon creme pastry, the chocolate stick pastry. Fav sandwich is the egg salad.
The creme cake slices are delicious and decorated so prettily. I don't drink coffee, but many hot beverages to choose from including tea. Come on in.“

“The two people I was with were really happy with their menu choices and said the food was really good, and everything was nicely presented, but my House Waffles were dry and tasteless; they looked really nice though, and the scrambled egg I ordered on the side was perfect. Excellent service and really nice atmosphere. We'll certainly go back, but I'll make a different menu selection. In short, I really recommend The Bridgewater Cafe, I just can't give as enthusiastic a recommendation for the waffles.“

“Visited Gregorys Coffee, and their brew is top-notch! The hot coffee was rich and full-bodied, with notes of caramel that lingered perfectly. The baristas were friendly and efficient, whipping up drinks quickly during the morning rush. The modern, inviting space with comfy seating and natural light makes it great for a quick stop or lingering. Prices are reasonable, and they take cards. This spot has quickly become my favorite for quality coffee in town!“

“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)“

“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.“

“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.“

“I usually don’t write a lot of reviews for places but I honestly love this Starbucks so much and figured it was time to write one. My friend Despina and I come here extremely often. We love the atmosphere and people here, they are so so nice! The morning staff has always been friendly to us and welcomed us with a smile as soon as we came in. The afternoon staff is also extremely friendly as well :) I made friends with one of the baristas who remembers me every time I come in and they are always nice about everything when it comes to costumer service. I always love coming here, it’s my favorite part of my day!! Thank you to all the workers here who truly make this Starbucks a comforting place to be.“

“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“

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

“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.“
