“Lovely place, very sweet people. Amboy açaí is a must try, delicious and healthy! One thing: I’m a matcha addict, please add Ceremonial Grade Matcha as an option to the menu even if you have to charge extra for that - its vibrant green and more flavorful, more healthy! Thanks ?“

“I recently visited Koko Loko cafe in New Brunswick and had the pleasure of trying their Pistachio Latte and Caramel Latte. While both drinks were enjoyable, the Pistachio Latte truly stole the show.

The Pistachio Latte was perfectly balanced, with a rich, nutty flavor that wasn’t overly sweet but still indulgent. It had a creamy texture that complemented the espresso beautifully, making every sip an absolute delight. It’s one of those drinks that leaves you wanting more even after the last drop.

The Caramel Latte was good as well, with a classic sweetness and smooth finish, but it didn’t quite compare to the unique and standout flavor of the Pistachio Latte. If you’re deciding between the two, I’d highly recommend going for the pistachio—it’s a game changer!

The ambiance of the shop was cozy, and the service was friendly and efficient. I’ll definitely be returning to try more of their menu, but the Pistachio Latte is already a favorite.

5/5 stars for the Pistachio Latte alone!“

“Amazing Food and service !!“

“I'm a regular here and it's always a pleasant experience. It's one of two locations that I frequent most and since I'm traveling throughout the day and night depending on the day of
Week I know I can depend on them to be open and prepared to serve! Every one of the employees are friendly, kind and considerate working quickly and efficiently in a timely fashion** plus side**it's always nice to be greeted by a smiling face ..a hard working employee who actually puts effort into the job aiming to please the customer not always the case at
Other locations or in general . My only complaint here: the surroundings the environment is run down and looks dirty ...hardly appealing to new residents or potential customers coming thru the neighborhood would be easily turned off by the way the atmosphere is kept and the lack of nicely kept landscaping - esthetically investing in A major overhaul and some system of cleanliness of the drive thru area would be extremely helpful and ideal. If you go elsewhere you find this to be less an issue. Thank you to all the staff members who do the job well and have been apart of my day in a big way...a friendly hello, and getting my order right is not a lot
To ask for and truly makes my day! ?“

“Not being from the area (South Jersey), I've wanted to try LeGrand Coffee House for quite a while now. So on a trip up to NY a couple days ago, we finally got the chance to stop in on our way up the Parkway. This place is amazing! This beautifully-decorated coffee house had some of THE best coffee I've ever had in my entire life. I got TWO lattes while I was there (a French Vanilla and a Honey Almond). My family and I also got the chicken pesto sandwich, and it was absolutely delicious. My daughter had an iced chai tea latte and loved it. DEFINITELY get to this place if at all possible! Two thumbs up!!“

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

“I love this cozy spot in the main downtown of South Amboy. Their coffee and breakfast sandwiches are good, which is exactly what I needed. The Java Dave's special is my perfect order with pork roll (or bacon), egg and cheese with a hash brown. The girls working there are very sweet and attentive. Check it out if you're in the area.

Parking: There's street parking, but you normally don't have to park far if you can parallel park.“

“Great coffee and delicious breakfast/brunch food.“

“They treat you well!! Stop by and see for yourself.“

“It was my first time there, and the lady who identified herself as the owner (Kelly) was very pleasant and helpful. She took her time explaining the drinks and their ingredients to me. I left there with 3 orders??‍♀️. The drinks were so good. Directions from Google were confusing. If you know the area, Highland Bubble Tea is on the opposite end of the bridge where Jersey Boys Pizza is located.
It can be tricky if you don't know the area. It's almost across from the new Performing Arts Center in Avenel! So, if you're looking at the PAC from Avenel St., in Avenel, Highland Bubble Tea is on your left side, across the street b4 going down the bridge. Lots of drinks and tasty snacks to enjoy. I didn't give it 5 stars because of the parking and the difficulty in finding it. Enjoy!!!“

“Had the best time! The employees gave great recommendations on what to drink when I couldn’t make up my mind. They made the experience very personal and cozy. I really appreciated it after a long day at work honestly. Coffee was pretty good and the atmosphere overall was great. Love the decor.“

“An incredible experience at Panas House! I loved the food, it really exceeded all my expectations. The quality of the dishes is impressive, priceless. Every bite was full of flavor and love, with fresh and well-prepared ingredients. The plates are quite large, which makes the value for money even better. It shows that they take care of every detail, from presentation to flavor. I will definitely come back and recommend it to everyone!“

“Great food and staff. Would highly recommend.“

“Incredible food made from scratch everything cook on premises Man size portion“

“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.“

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

“Came for a late night snack and was not disappointed. Gelato tasted great, authentic. I also like how they have a cafe. For non coffee drinkers, they have a tasty hot chocolate. The ambience is very nice, the decor was modern and tasteful, the space is very big and seems like a good spot to hang out. They sell merch too, if youre interested.“

“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 love their chai. I've been here a few times, and have had my fair share of chai at the "trendy" spots, and will say this is definitely up there. Their desserts are pretty great as well. I'd definitely recommend this spot for anyone wanting great desi chai. ?“

“I love this place to enjoy a good brunch and a French press coffee.
This place is usually busy; I suggest registering for the online waiting list. (Waiting time: 20-30 min approx.) The service is fast, the place is very warm, clean and the dishes are very well presented.“

“Very good coffee and pastries! Happy to have this place in the neighborhood. Hot and cold drink are great and not all sugar etc. Tried the pandan, lavender and caramel and spinach feta pastry all delicious.

Dietary restrictions: They have coconut milk and not all cafes have that choice!“

“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.“

“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!“

“Cute, dainty shop with your standard boba drinks. The workers were extremely friendly and patient! I got two refreshing fruity drinks. I like the star shaped chewy toppings — made the drink fun to consume. Perfect for a hot day!

Plenty of free parking out front.“

“Best place to start your day❤️“

“What a cute little breakfast spot. We shared a couple dishes and everything was absolutely delicious. The multigrain toast that came with our eggs was ridiculously delicious. The star of the show for me was the lemon blueberry poppyseed pancake. I would literally return to the restaurant just for those. Our waiter was amazing and checked up on us frequently. The presentation of the restaurant was amazing and they even have a little shop you can buy some local stuff. Definitely will be returning.“

“I really enjoyed the coffee I had. I also enjoyed the crochet night.“

“Best cappuccino I had in my life !!! Will be a routine costumer!!! Puts D.Ds to shame!! This place is a must try!!!!!“

“El menú es rico y variado , buena atención.😍🙏“

“Best rainbow cookies on the island!“

“Dietary restrictions: I can't eat tree nuts so some of their offerings would be off limits for me. But my friend brought me a lemon jellied candy that was softly dusted in powdered sugar and it was amazing! The flavor was delicate and it was a perfect treat. Looking forward to seeing what else can work for me.“
