“Upon entering the DD, I got a welcoming sense as the place was clean and I was addressed promptly. My reason for giving them a four-star rating is because one of the two drinks I ordered through their drive-through was incorrect. Upon speaking with the associate, I was met with an attitude inappropriately displayed. It took the shift manager to de-escalate the tension and correct the order. I would not say that I sensed an overall negative vibe, just that it’s not what you say to people, it’s how you say it sometimes. Attitudes should be excluded from professionalism. The drinks are amazing.“

“Great value and quality! Highly recommend!“
“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!“

“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.“

“Polite, friendly service. Clean, inviting environment. Fun music ( not too loud for 8 am). Good, quick food. Hot coffee (and HOT SYRUP!). No disdain that I was paying with a gift card for 2 free meals, and taking 1 togo- super accommodating and bonus points bc that's not a great table to get on a Sunday morning. kudos Joshua 😊“
“Pulled into Milk Crate Coffee off Route 70 in Lakewood the other morning to knock out some work and grab a quick fix. From the outside, the building has a funny setup that looks like an old hotel converted into a business park, with the shop taking over what probably used to be the main lobby and dining hall.
Inside, though, the vibe is totally unique. They have retro light fixture setups, art on the walls, and cushioned curved benches near the front. They even have lightbulbs on the ceiling that spell out the word coffee in massive six foot letters over the main room, which I did not even spot until I looked up directly at the lights. Even the bathroom has a bright pink neon sign on the wall, so they definitely leaned into the quirky decor.
When it comes to the actual coffee, these guys know what they are doing. I love that you can pick your own single origin beans and have them make a custom pour over right then and there. I went with a Honduran light roast, and it hit the spot while I sat at a table with my laptop. The staff was knowledgeable, and happy to chat about the coffee options, if you find one of the employees that knows coffee very well.
To go with the brew, I grabbed a chocolate chip scone. Now, the coffee was pretty solid, but the scone was average at best. It had that boxed, reheated feel to it rather than fresh baked from scratch. That said, plenty of people around me were ordering hot meals that looked really good, so it seems like a popular local hangout for a full breakfast.
All in all, Milk Crate Coffee is a cool, comfortable spot to set up camp for an hour, enjoy a well made pour over, and take in the eccentric surroundings. I would definitely swing back by for the coffee alone.“

“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.“

“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.“

“All my coffee beans come from Rook! Some of my coffee mugs, too. I have the kind of machine that grinds whole beans before pouring. Rook's Nicaragua and Guatemala are favorites. The staff are all so friendly. Lots of locations, too.“

“Stopped by The Caffeine Haven on a Saturday morning and found a solid local spot to grab a coffee. Traffic along Route 9 was light, but this place seems like a convenient stop for anyone driving through Howell during a busy weekday commute.
I ordered a standard latte and it was made very well. The whole milk foam was steamed perfectly, resulting in a rich texture that had a natural sweetness to it. On a total impulse buy at the counter, I picked up a slice of their banana chocolate chip loaf from the pastry display. That turned out to be delicious and fresh.
They have a menu full of creative signature drinks that look interesting. While waiting, I noticed a couple of the baristas making one of the specialty options and commenting on how good it is themselves, talking about how good it came out. I am usually a bit cautious about how much sugar goes into those fancy specialty drinks, but I will probably try one on my next visit.
This is a very cool, comfortable spot with great coffee and quick service. It is well worth the trip if you need a reliable morning caffeine fix.
One other thing to add. They also sell their custom coffee blend in fresh roasted bags Ina a small merchandise shelf with shorts and fresh cut flowers as well.“

“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.

“Port Coffee Roasters is so much more than just grabbing a cup of coffee. Its an experience. The owners and staff are very knowledgeable and personable. Each cup of coffee is made to order and the end product is pure deliciousness. The owners Grace and Greg roast their own beans in a state of the art roaster right on premises. They prepare delicious fresh baked goods daily, and have a true passion for their craft.“

“BRICK: walking into California Cold Co. feels like stepping into a perfectly timed midday reset with buzzing energy, great music, and a crowd happily fueling up on caffeine.
Leashed and friendly dogs are welcome inside as well as at the outdoor tables, making it an easy stop for you and your pup.
Their craft drinks are thoughtfully made, with a mix of everyday favorites and creative seasonal specials, plus light bites to round out your visit. We loved spotting a couple of other dogs soaking up the outing with their families, always a good sign you have found a gem.
They also have a location in Manalapan, so you have got options when the craving hits“

“From the minute that we got there until we left very friendly.Great service!! It was our first time there.They gave us this beautiful salad on the house! Our food was delicious! GOOD bread,Eggplant parmesan,lasagna, cavitelli and broccoli rob. The meatballs are possibly the best i've ever had out, not even kidding. The red sauce was delicious, teeny bit salty for me but by far better than what I have experienced in the recent times I have been out to eat. Can't wait to go back. Very friendly atmosphere!“

“Pop's makes the best cookies!!! I ordered trays of minis for a wedding and they were fabulous! Everyone loved the chocolate chip, oatmeal raisin, double chocolate chip, lemon blueberry and sugar cookies! And, they were able to provide some GF options which were also delicious. Kudos to Raechel who helped me through the ordering process. Wonderful customer service. Next we'll have to try the "regular" sized cookies!“

“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 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.“

“Great coffee. Friendly staff and love that they feature speciality drinks which is fun!
The biggest con about this location is the exhaust in the space is absolutely awful. There is a constant cloud of smoke from their cooking in the kitchen and it doesn’t properly exhaust out of the space. You will 100% leave smelling like fried food and it will be on your clothes, hair, etc the whole day. I almost had to walk out the other day because my eyes were tearing. Also, many people come in here to work on their laptops which is fine but if you are coming to meet a friend for coffee and chat, there most likely won’t be any seats. If you can grab one of the few seats outside, I would go for that.“
“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.“

“Even though Diana was working by herself, she did an amazing job managing the busyness of the store. She was making drinks, helping customers, and still taking the time to have conversations with the people waiting in line. She was so friendly, welcoming, and handled everything with such a great attitude. My drinks were also made perfectly and excellent customer service. Great job, Diana!“
