50 Best Coffee Shops near Glen Ridge

“Got much love for Starbucks 👍🏾“

“I live in the area and attend college out of town so getting to the library on my off days is tough. I've been looking for a place with a chill ambiance, wifi, good tea, and coffee. Well, look no more for me. I thoroughly enjoyed my time here. Great rustic look, comfy seating with back support, loads of outlets for laptops, and the second-floor space are super cute and cozy too. Oh and there's a small little outside area that's pretty cool as well. Shaquille (hope I spelled it right) was AMAZING! So down-to-earth, friendly, polite, and easy to talk to. She made me the Tumeric latte for me and I all but licked the cup clean. I had the hummus & cucumber on sourdough toast and it was divine. Also, a great option for vegans. I totally recommend this place if you have similar needs or just want to hang out with some friends. I will surely be going back.“

“I simply LOVE this place. It not only has the best vegan sandwiches and desserts, the hospitality is amazing. Everyone is very friendly and welcoming. The only thing bad is that they are 45 minutes from me. I wish there was one closer to where I live. I would be going more often. I'm hoping one day they will become a franchise. I would definitely want to open a How Delish! ❤️“

“We pulled off the highway for a coffee and stumbled upon this gem. The pastry menu is filled with unique items and great flavor combinations. I had the ube pan de sal and the Kashmir cardamom latte with oat milk. I absolutely love both! The location seemed surprising at first, it’s located in a larger office complex, but inside it feels comfortable with warm lighting and plenty of seating. They also sell records and prepared wraps and desserts. Check it out if you’re in the area! I will be sure to stop by next time I’m passing through.“

“I was craving a BLT on Thanksgiving morning (w/ beef bacon) and decided to try this place instead of going to Starbucks. What a pleasant surprise! This place is awesome. Very welcoming atmosphere. The service was top notch. My BLT and iced latte was amazing! I was also given a sample of coffee/espresso that was so good. I will definitely be back.“

“Looking for the best coffee spot in Bayonne? Look no further than Lavaccino! More than just a coffee shop, Lavaccino serves up perfectly brewed espresso, delicious sandwiches, refreshing juices, and creamy gelato 🍨 handmade to perfection. And don’t miss out on their exclusive, one-and-a-half-pound bar of Dubi chocolate—crafted in-house, it’s the best you’ll find in the tri-state area! Lavaccino’s cozy atmosphere and top-notch menu will keep you coming back for more. It’s a taste of Italy with a Dubai twist, right in your neighborhood😉“

“Wow! Amazing experience. Exotic coffee tastes. The owner “Diego” educated us the difference of tastes and quality of coffee including which one should be with milk and those that will killed the exquisite taste of a real coffee. A unique experience! Highly recommended. And also try the chai teas with their own foam; it will mesmerize your palate!“

“I have visited the Montclair, NJ twice and each time I leave satisfied. They have the best iced coffee and tonight my husband and I had hot coffee and pastry and my husband enjoyed it as well. The atmosphere is beautiful and the customer service is top notch. It’s definitely my top favorite coffee spots in our area.“

“Belle Âme is the type of coffee shop that puts LOVE in their food craft. One of the best coffee shop sandwiches I had in a while. NY coffee shops don’t top this honestly.

Plus, the coffee shop has a versatile of seating arrangements. Great for my ADHD friends. 😅“

“Great place! A coffee hangout for the post modern beat generation !“

“Great brunch place with kids. Great service.“

“My favorite coffee shop! The staff are absolute sweethearts and take the time to make each drink both delicious and beautifully crafted. I highly recommend stopping by for one of their signature lattes and their phenomenal croissants. I tried the tiramisu latte, the Biscoff latte (pictured), and the chai—every single one was a 10/10. The Wi-Fi worked great, there was plenty of space to work, outlets were easily accessible, and parking was super convenient. A perfect spot for both coffee and productivity“

“I stopped into this restaurant for a meal and when I arrived I parked on the street nearby. I walked in to super cute restaurant. I was greeted and ordered:

Vietnamese Coffee with coffee jelly
Pho Bo with short rib
Banh Mi Sandwich with Shrimp

I loved the food and my favorite was the sandwich! The drink was also super tasty! All in all a really good experience!“

“Great coffee, We stopped at Roast’d coffee shop before heading to NYC, great experience; the pour over coffee was fantastic. Johan was quite friendly explaining different coffee beans as he roasted them and brews the coffee. I tried the espresso as well brewed from 3 different beans, very tasty. Now this is our favorite place to have coffee when traveling to NYC. We talked with local customers, so good vibes and recommendations. Awesome place if you love good coffee.“

“The atmosphere is warm and inviting. The decor facilitates a creative space for gathering with friends and colleagues.“

“Great coffee (best I've ever had), cozy atmosphere, great baristas.“

“Awesome coffee, awesome owners. Very sweet people and they make amazing coffee and snacks. Their muffins and croissants are delicious and fresh. Today in particular I asked the owner for a hot coffee but with sugar free stuff as I’m diabetic. She came through with a tasty, hot sugar free coffee that was out of this world. Definitely recommend Ara!“

“Lovely neighborhood cafe near the Walnut train station. Great service and great drinks. It’s awesome to find a place that really knows how to make a matcha latte. We also tried one of their pumpkin scones the other day— perfect taste and not too sweet!“

“Great place to read and work! Also, the staff was GREAT!“

“I tried the protein waffle. SOOO GOOOD. The cute pine honey that comes along with it is a 10/10!! Highly recommend. Friendly staff and even helped me add the best toppings and create a very good waffle for my first time. I will definitely be back for more !“

“Amazing coffee and delicious vegan treats!“

“Amazing Amazing place! Totally recommend this place!“

“Was amazing atmosphere and service. Servers were super kind, we got the cortado—I loved it so much I got 2 of them! In addition got fresh crossaints aith pistachio filling that they do in house. It was delicious. Been there twice and both times were great.“

“love love love this place. Feels like family, excellent food, great service! We will be back!“

“As someone who appreciates food when it is an experience, this right here does it in every sense. The owner clearly knows how to bring the part of Brazil that they dont show us. You don’t even need to speak to anyone because when you scan the QR Code, order & pay for everything (takes the awkward who’s paying) & your order arrives in no time. When you eat the food it is clear there’s a whole team trained in how to make everything that comes out of that kitchen mouthwatering. It’s a whole vibe full of delicious food, quick service, chill ambiance that’s only missing the resort right on the beach built around it. Every single note was hit & well now I want to go to Brazil.“

“Great local spot for quality coffee ☕“

“Tasty food, reasonable prices, large selection of different meals, clean, warm atmosphere, great service. Highly recommended!“

“How do I love Crema, let me count the ways … Nutella Toast, Avo Toast, Mozz Toast, Beef Empanadas, Waffles and amazing brews ☕️“

“Adorable little cafe tucked into the side of a gym so it’s a little difficult to find. Their menu is fun and the staff is SO friendly and sweet, however the coffee was a little off for me. I got a blueberry latte when I visited and the espresso didn’t taste exactly right or strong enough and you couldn’t really taste the blueberry at all. Maybe adjusting the recipe might help? Their chocolate croissants are probably the best I’ve ever had though and are from a local baker I was told! All in all it’s a cozy little spot to go to!“

“I had a productive work from home day here at Caribbrew Café. The cajun sausage & egg sandwich was delicious and the matcha had that Haitian flavor(probably the nutmeg lol) that made it stand out from your average matcha latte. The atmosphere was peaceful and quiet and made for a really good space to get some work done. You can definitely taste the Haitian seasoning in every bite of the food. Thank you so much for bringing a piece of Haiti to Newark!“

“Excellent ambiance, amazing drinks, and the best customer service !“

“Excellent place to enjoy a really great cup of coffee. Everything is delicious, especially the desserts—they’re not overly sweet or overwhelming, which is perfect.
Both hot and cold drinks are amazing, and the coffee experience itself is outstanding; you can truly taste the quality.
On top of that, the atmosphere is very welcoming and the service is super friendly and attentive. Definitely a place worth coming back to. Highly recommended!

Thank you, guys!“

The consistency is the same no matter who makes my drink and I love that! The prices are totally reasonable and the selection is perfect. I love the seasonal beverage options. 10/10 love you, eagle rock cafe! ♡“

“Fantastic drip coffee. Delicious cheddar scallion scone.

Close quarters that could be cozy or overbearing depending on time and mood: 3 tables (2 seats each), 2 loungers (tight space in the back), one bench by the entrance.

Definitely will be back for the coffee and pastries!“

“Shoutout to Lightbulb Coffee Shop! Awesome Iced Coffee with oat milk and a Dirty Chai! We will be back!!“

“George's was amazing to work with. They were more than willing to help me plan a nice breakfast spread for my students...complete with full platters of scrambled eggs, bacon, sausage, pancakes, hash browns, fruit... They were kind enough to help me pack my car as well. I would HIGHLY recommend them! 👌 👍“
