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.“

“We had short rib pho- the best I’ve ever had. This pho has claimed to number 1.
Wings- crispy, well cooked and seasoned.
Potstickers AMAZING!!
Vermicelli noodle bowl- 4.5 fresh ingredients and flavorful
Brisket pho added some meatballs- savory

Nice people, quick service, pricing is fair.“

“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 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! ❤️“

“Great brunch place with kids. Great service.“

“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.“

“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.“

“We always have the best coffee and empanadas at KK's! The staff is immensely friendly and helpful. Highly recommend checking it out.“

“When I first discovered this cafe I instantly fell in love with the atmosphere of the cafe. Everything on the menu is so delicious! And the staff is super friendly.“

“Really cute spot and they are so nice. We ordered macarons (chocolate and raspberry) which were perfect and so delicious. We also got an almond and a Nutella croissant. I got their special strawberry matcha which came with strawberry/matcha cold foam which was light and refreshing. My bf ordered a dark mocha latte which he said was really good. We sat outside since the sun was finally out and warm and they brought everything beautifully plated.
The only thing is that parking can be a bit difficult since a lot of the street parking is taken out.“

“Great overall experience and the Energy in the water, the people and the atmosphere is OFF the charts!!!🎉🎉🎉“

“This place is truly amazing, with such a welcoming atmosphere that makes you feel comfortable the moment you walk in. It’s the perfect spot to get some work done while enjoying an incredible coffee and a delicious sandwich. You can really feel the gratitude and care that the owner, Wilson, has for every customer his patience and kindness shine through in everything he does. The staff is an amazing crew: friendly, attentive, and always ready with a smile, which makes the experience even more special. The Wi-Fi is great, the lattes are absolutely delicious, and dogs are welcome, which makes it even better for pet lovers. Every visit feels like a little escape from the busy day. I genuinely love walking in here, ordering my coffee, and taking a moment to relax and enjoy. It’s more than just a café it’s a warm, welcoming place that makes you want to keep coming back. ☕️💛“

“We stopped in at the cafe while visiting the area. The staff was very friendly and they were helpful in making recommendations. We enjoyed a delicious and strong Freddo Cappuccino, along with a couple of their mini Greek cheese pies. Would definitely come 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😉“

“Amazing coffee shop!“

“Excellent coffee (and they have almond milk, yay!) and their chocolate rugalah is to die for! 😋“

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

“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 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.“

“Staff was very welcoming upon entry. Menu was explained thoroughly. Staff informed us of new spring items to come!

Kompa plays in the background to set a nice atmosphere. Numerous seats available and appears to be a great place to work during the day.

Cremas Latte stole the show off the first sip!

Food was prepared not microwaved, which is a big plus for me.

I would definitely stop in again.“

“Such a gorgeous atmosphere! It really feels like a garden inside, decorated from ceiling to floor with just the right touch.

The pistachio latte and mango matcha were amazing. I love pistachio, but I’m usually not able to taste it in beverages but this time, I could, and it was the perfect balance. The matcha was just as good. I got it with the recommended whole milk, and it was delicious.

On the way to their beautiful restroom, I caught a glimpse of them freshly chopping the mango, and you can truly taste the freshness. It wasn’t too sweet or too bitter, and it wasn’t watery at all.

Thank you, Jorge, and thank you to your partner for cutting up my mango into the perfect dice so I had no trouble enjoying it in my matcha.🤍“

“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.“

“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!“

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

“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 !“

“Great local spot for quality coffee ☕“

“Vanilla Cinnamon Latte from Muse on Valley Brook Ave in Lyndhurst. This coffee shop is a hidden gem. Quaint little place to read a book, do some work in their comfy area with great music and good vibes. — drinking coffee at Muse Coffee Company. — at Muse Coffee Company.“

“Great quality coffee and awesome staff. Thanks a lot for coming down to The Beacon every week to caffeinate our day.“

“Amazing Amazing place! Totally recommend this place!“

“Amazing coffee and delicious vegan treats!“

“I enjoy the peaceful and calming atmosphere of this place, which is ideal for focusing on work. It's also a great spot for a coffee date. If you are allergic to dogs, this environment isn't suitable for you; I am allergic to them, which prevents me from coming back. But if you're not, I recommend you come by.“

“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.“

“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!“

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

“Excellent staff and great coffee. Highly recommend and worth every penny!“

“The freshest and tastiest meals i've ever had, ohh and they are super fast with delivery orders too. My favorites are the greek salad with chicken and a healthy beet juice“

“Enjoyed the best coffee and pumpkin bread in this lovely coffee shop run by a fantastic staff!“

“Best Gluten Free pizza you will find. Reminds Me of the days before I was diagnosed with Celiac, I will be back for more“

“I have been to Java Nut a few times and each time I feel like I am going into my friend's Kitchen to ask for something to eat. I order my food and its made fresh. The food is scrumptious, the service is professional but very friendly. What is the only negative... there is no couch to sit on... LOL“

“No food BUT pastries and coffees? ALWAYS immaculate. Super friendly staff, no matter the time of day.
Art installations on the main wall are always nice to look over while enjoying some writing and chatting inside.
Dog treats at the door as well! Thanks guys for all the joy you bring to Montclair and the surrounding towns!“

“wow, amazing!! very unique flavors, friendly staff and a great atmosphere. i had the cassava latte and the leche flan latte. highly recommend! wish i lived in the area so i could come here again!“

“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! 👌 👍“
