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).“

“What a nice addition to our town! beautiful, calming environment and food is delicious! owner is such a sweet heart! would love to go again!Definitely recommend!“

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

“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!“

“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 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.“

“Loved the shroom sando and the cold brew“

“I would HIGHLY recommend visiting Kafen House if you like a quality pastry and great coffee. The customer service was amazing. The man helping us out took the time to answer our questions about the different pastry options. The Honey Pistachio Iced Latte…amazing! The Iced Americano…amazing! The pastry options we selected were OUTSTANDING!!! We were told the pastry items were made in the shop, and they tasted fresh. This is a place you must visit!“

“I bought a cake for my friend's anniversary today, but unfortunately, it got ruined when I hit the brakes hard on my way out of the parking lot. Since it was entirely my fault, I went back to the store just to ask if I could get a discount on a new one. But to my surprise, they were incredibly kind and offered to exchange it for a new one for free! I was so deeply touched!! I know every staff in here is always kind and helpful, but I especially want to thank Damaris and Sury for helping me out with this early this morning 🫶. Thank you so much, and see you again soon!“

“My hubby and I came here for lunch. Once we sat down, we were immediately greeted by our server Austin. I cannot tell you how amazing he was. From the second we sat down until the moment we left, he was outstanding. Friendly, professional, knowledgeable about the food and patient. He gave such great suggestions and I followed his suggestions. I got the quesadilla and my hubby got the rise and shine. Both were so so good! The quesadilla was DELICIOUS. I had it with a sauce on the side and it was amazing. We also spoke with the manager James who was so so nice and professional and just such a pleasure to speak with. Hands down recommend this restaurant and if you are a nice person, ask for Austin!“

Highly recommend for a wonderful breakfast.

Very eclectic, fun place!
You need to check out the game area 🤗🤗🤗“

“I haven't been there yet, but I saw an advertisement online for ice cream sandwich baklava so I was going to drive there and thankfully I called them because the guy said they don't even have it and he sounded like he didn't know what I was talking about and they also don't have 'cold baklava', in case you're looking for it. He did pick up the phone fast though, and he was very nice. I'm glad I didn't waste the 20 minute drive for A false advertisement“

“One of my favorite bakeries from now on. Love the pastries, drinks and the crew service is very good as well.“

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

“Probably one of THE best coffee shops in NJ and I'm a self proclaimed coffee snob. Had their cold brew and cappuccino. Baked goods look delicious too. Super cute vibe and friendly employees. They have created a great sense of community.“

“Always a pleasure to swing by, picking up the best small batch single origin coffee! Highly recommend stopping by if you live in the area.“

“This place is beautiful. Most of the sandwiches contain ham, so there isn’t much variety for vegetarians or people looking for halal food.
Today, I used the restroom. It was very clean; however, there was no soap to wash my hands. The soap dispensers were empty and filled with water.
Today I went to the same place and used the restroom, the soap dispenser empty since yesterday 😡 I’m wondering how the staff serve us without washing their hands 😢“

“Awesome customer service with the best coffee!!! they care about coffee art. they started making mine one day and it wasnt coming out right so he made it over to perfection! 1st class service!! I travel over 15 min to get this coffee.“

“I come here once in a while and each experience has been pretty good. Situated by the middle of Summit (i think it is the DT area?) You get a nice view of a good ole NJ town. The staff are pretty nice here and accommodating (the dude gave me a new coffee cause someone else took it by mistake for a min). There is a lot near by and street parking as well.“

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

“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.“

“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!“

“I first came across Stirling & Co via the Long Hill Facebook group and was intrigued by the tacos - I thought this was just a breakfast/deli type of spot? We had to go check it out for ourselves when I needed a coffee fix. Jeff immediately made us feel like family and had the iPad out and ready to show off a wide range of dishes they were testing out, birria tacos included of course. He let us try his cold brew and refreshers and they were all so good! We got an order of tacos to go and they were amazing.

The real magic though was the second time we came back. I had to try going dairy free for my newborn and its been really challenging to find things to eat. I knew Stirling & Co would have something. Jeff and Nicole were so kind. They workshopped some ideas with me and we landed with blackened fish tacos with mango salsa. Nicole was SO on top of the dairy sensitivity too and made sure to double check everything with the cooks before it got to me. I really can't explain how much I appreciated them going above and beyond like this for me. I'm so excited to have them in town and I wish them so much success!“

“Great Food Excellent Service!“
