50 Best Coffee Shops near Hightstown

“Great little local coffee shop in a great location. Staff is friendly. Loved their tea based drinks.“

“I tried to redeem my points thru the app, which was an arduous, complicated, and confusing experience. On top of that, I was having a bad day and just wanted to get some comfort food and something to drink. Team members Owen and Olaa were super nice and did the best they could to make things better, but in the long run, it was completely an APP issue. Otherwise; my donuts and drinks were amazing (especially the spider donut!). Kudos to Olaa and Owen for being helpful and patient with me during my visit. I will visit Dunkin' again but I will need a LOT of help redeeming points in the app. (I gave 3 stars to the atmosphere because it's in a bodega and strictly a walk-in store, with no Dunkin' cups or other things for sale.)“

“Visited this coffee spot for the second time recently and I absolutely loved my latte. 9/10 solid rating. It was either called a biscoff or cookie butter latte, but regardless it was one of their seasonal winter lattes.

The ambiance was cute and inviting. I’d come back and spend a couple hours here working. I ordered an empanada which could have been more warmed up, but overall it was fine tasting! For a local coffee spot, this place does a great job 🤍“

“The coffee and staff is out of this world. The owner Rhawnie ensures a perfect cup of coffee and welcoming experience every single time and as does her staff. My favorite is the pistachio cake latte ! The puddings she makes are also AMAZING.“

“Great coffee, relaxed atmosphere, super friendly staff, and I can sit outside with my pup.“

“High Tea to celebrate a friend’s birthday. What a treat. I had no idea I could arrange a High Tea in central NJ. Prince Tea House was wonderful. We all enjoyed the food and ambiance. The robot was adorable, especially when s/he sang “Happy Birthday” to my friend. A wonderful ‘Ladies Day Out’ for 5 of us. Plans were already being made to return by members of my party.“

“Great coffee, great breakfast, and friendly atmosphere!“

“I love this place, however, yesterday I bought one of my favorite pastries at the store the Kouign Maman. The pastry was hard, I did not even realized how hard it was until I got to my destination. I got one for me and my sister and I was embarrassed on how hard they were. Not sure if they were overcooked or was old and they overheated to sell. Just be careful when you buy this pastry, make sure is fresh. So disappointed because it is my favorite :(“

“Full disclosure, i am a meat eater, but really love the vegetarian/vegan options they have here. I just had their vegan taco salad and could not tell it did not contain meat. It was delicious!“

“Lyberry Coffee is amazing with fresh, delicious food and seasonal coffees! The staff is very friendly and the atmosphere is welcoming and calm. Go enjoy!“

“too expensive, horrible service, arrogant and ignorant staff. unless you have 15 minutes to wait for a simple coffee and muffin while these igorant people commiserate with college students, dont bother patronizing this place. $15 for muffin, coffee and tip makes Starbucks seem inexpensive.“

“awesome food and great service!“

“By far THEE BEST oat milk mocha on ZEE planet ❤️🔥“

“Kind and friendly service. I came here a couple of years ago and they served me coffee from a Keurig. Perhaps different ownership but now it’s completely different. Serving legit Stumptown coffee and wide variety of espresso drinks and other goodies. Glad I tried it again.“

“Ginger cardamom scones! Actually, all the scones are delicious. Coffee beans are roasted in a facility in Rocky Hill. Our favorite is the dark roast. Shop local!“

“Great pastry and wonderful black tea. The person behind the counter was very hospitable and friendly. I definitely recommend the cream puffs.“

“Today we were on our way from NY to Baltimore and when i arrived- i was aghast to see oil pooling around the front drivers wheel.
Below is a detailed chronology of what transpired!

- [ ] As we got out of the car at Richard Stockton service center- noticed oil splattered on driver side and emanating from the wheel- i went under the car and noticed oil collecting under the driver side wheel— PANIC!!
Went in to bathroom— started looking for mechanics/ honda dealerships close by— frantic/ some close some closed— i figured must go to a “ shop”— pulled into the adjoining gas station and ask if there is a nechanic- the old punjab man pointed me in the general direction— i drove by a garage door that was slightly open— peeked in - no one/ knocked/ no one-/ went into the side door of the service center and look for any staff— found a short stocky— hispanic gentelman— asked him if someone can look at car— he said yes but have to get someone to staff the desk— nervously i followed him - he was the mechanic
- [ ] Went under car/ saw the leak- asked me to turn the wheel to get access and pump the brakes—
- [ ] He looked at the color/ smell— not transmission- not coolant// not oil— possible break fluid — im sweating bullets- in anticipation of what hes going to find— he then asked that i open the break fluid cap—-“ filled to the top!!!!” Over filled— luis quickly got a bottle cap/ paper towelsand removed the excess!!!
- [ ] He asked that i start the engine— and checked the transmission fluid - low!!!!
- [ ] We took a picture with louis J
- [ ] Louis went back inside
- [ ] I went back inside to enquire about the transmission level
- [ ] I asked louis about the transmission - he said just purchase it - he picked it out and said dont worry he will help fill it up
- [ ] Louis came back out with the long funnel and added 1/2 quart— transmission fluid!!!

I couldn’t thank Mr. Louis J enough- he is truly a wonderful human being. ANY organization that has the privilege of his knowledge and humanity is a truly a lucky one!!!

I know most of you will just transiently pass through these rest stops, but PLEASE -PLEASE take a moment and say hi to this wonderful human being.

Mr. Stockton ( the signer of the declaration of independence) would be so proud!!!“

“Good food“

“I had an amazing experience @The Market On Main .Now, under new ownership by a dear friend! The updated menu is a real treat, blending classic Greek flavors with exciting new twists. I tried the platter / Pita chips & Dips, plump chef and the veggie Reggie it was absolutely delicious—fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. The new desserts are a must-try. The vibe is warm and welcoming, perfect for a casual dinner . Service was friendly and attentive, and you can feel the love in everything they do. So proud of what they've built! Highly recommend stopping by if you're in the area. 💙#SupportLocal #GreekCuisine #ProudFriend“

“Starbucks...My lovely Starbucks! I have traveled over numerous continents and slugged through countless towns, stopping in many a storefront for a cup of that hot, delicious brew. Throughout my travels, I have never felt compelled to share my thoughts on any of my normally eventless excursions. This time however, something touched me like never before. I walked in and instantly, I was transcended to another realm. My mind suddenly cleared as I was welcomed warmly, the atmosphere calming and the service was superb. There is just something special about this place that escapes my limited ability to confer this to you, my friends. It is an experience one must undergo to truly understand. Try it, you will not be disappointed!“

“Great, friendly place! Best coffee in area! No known alien abductions, but definitely a possibility!“

“Love it. The inside feels so fresh so clean, with a giant display case of some fine and divine looking pastries. Seems like they specialize in eclairs.

We ordered ourselves a creme brulee (caramelized on demand by the friendly staff) and an Opera for takeout. Tasty and perfectly sized without being too overbearing or sweet.

My Opera was beautiful. Speckled with gold dust, delicate layers of chocolate, mousse and nutty pastes. So much flavor in each soft spoonful. Exactly what I needed for a birthday treat for myself!“

“What a truly wonderful experience it was coming here. This nice young lady that works there was very polite. There was a bit of traffic building up in there behind me, but she was very patient with me as I surely took quite a while to order a few things for my family members. Everything was clean, and freshly organized. She even made sure to reassure me that the utensils were all cleaned properly because I tend to get a bit skeptical due to the possibility of cross contamination. The ice cream quality was great! Much better than most other places in this area. I never asked for that young lady’s name but she wore a lot of bracelets, and had black nails just like my daughter, which I complemented! I will be back in here for sure!

Will recommend this place for all ice cream lovers!“

“Ginger cardamom scones! Actually, all the scones are delicious. Coffee beans are roasted in a facility in Rocky Hill. Our favorite is the dark roast. Shop local!“

“stopped for some takeout. great food. friendly staff. will definitely go again when im in the area“

“Charming little cafe with excellent food and service 😊“

“I can't speak for the other reviewers who said the pho was bland or premade. Sounds like a hater to be honest! I really enjoyed my meals at V-Town and the woman who worked at the register was very nice and friendly. So here's my review from an uncultured American:

Dining Experience:
V-Town's aesthetic has some cute wall decorations and the latest point of sale technology for paying with card or cash. However, the tables and chairs are typical of chinese takeout places. So this isn't a place with super fancy decorations or mood lighting, it's functional with some music in the background, cool wall decorations, and of course you have to have the toy cat that waves.

There is not a lot of staff here, which makes it seem like this is a very small operation. But the people who are working there clearly work very hard.

The Food:
So, I actually discovered V-Town on Doordash and it was super cold out so I wanted something to warm me up. I got the pho with the well done flank steak. Once on doordash and when I went in person.

When you order the pho, all of your veggies will arrive on a separate plate. So, you can choose to add as much or as little as you want. In some other places like Bravo Pho in PA, I believe everything comes in the bowl all at once.

Regardless, the flavor of the broth was wonderful, warm. The flank steak was succulent, and the vegetables tasted fresh. For my wife, this was her first time trying Vietnamese food so I got her the Banh Mi sandwich.

She loved the freshness of the carrots and cucumbers and really enjoyed the flavor of the pork protein. Also, I did get a brown sugar boba tea which my wife kept stealing from me.

Overall, I thoroughly enjoyed my meals from V-Town and look forward to introducing more friends and family to this place.“

“This is one of those rare places where you would chop off one of your fingers to have a location in your area. Please come to Philly! But seriously the Peruvian salad was so good, such amazing dressing and fresh lettuce, and likewise the salmon entrée was so good. Flavors on everything were sensational. Hard to believe this was at a takeout counter type of place.Amazingly healthy and even good dessert if you wanted to indulge afterwards.“

“🍜😍 OMG, I am OBSESSED with the ramen at Ginza Spot in Robbinsville! Soup is seriously my ultimate comfort food, and ramen is my #1 favorite kind. I don't go out to eat much, but today I treated myself (and my daughter 💕) to their spicy Tonkotsu ramen, and it was hands down one of the BEST bowls I've ever had in my life! 🤯🔥 The broth was so rich and flavorful, with just the right amount of spice that totally cleared up my stuffy nose and warmed my soul. Everything was fresh and perfect – it hit EVERY spot! Such a fun mommy-daughter outing too. If you're in the area, you HAVE to try this place! Highly recommend!! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐“

“Best coconut donut! Among others. I’m glad to found this little place. So delicious. They no longer have coconuts donuts long time ☹️. It’s ok“

“I love all of the employees they make the atmosphere impeccable! Every time I order my grilled cheese it is always perfect! Every time I order my drink i am not only handed my drink but also a warm and comforting smile! I love everything about this place and I will only come here even if it’s an hour away! 🥺🥺“

“I ordered catering for yesterday , stuffed cabbage , kofta, chicken shish and kabab hala honestly it was soooo good , very delicious, all the people were so happy I really highly recommend Taza restaurant 😍😍“

“Firstly I want to say that I enjoy the seasonal treats. Breakfast is a life saver in the way to the train station. The cafe is a bit cold in the winter. The staff are wholesome, kind attentive and hard working. It is noticed! Seeing people smile and perky even when it might not be needed is always appreciated. It sets the vibes! I also recommend boiling the scrambled eggs for the bacon egg and cheese croissant 🥐 for an unknown reason those eggs seem dry.“

“I am choosing to edit my previous review as management reached out and, in my opinion, went above and beyond to address any issues I had. As I had service and not food issues, I'll happily adjust my initial review. It says a lot when a company cares enough to explore cystomer experience closely.“

“They usually get my order correct, though the donuts are often not all the right ones. This is to be expected, however, so I have pretty much no complaints! I love their food and the specialty donuts (such as the spider) are great. The online app always meets expectations.“

“Great place! Coffee is amazing and their matcha drinks are the best. If you’re ever craving something cold and fresh that’s the place to go’“

“One of my favorite Starbucks locations. The atmosphere is calm and welcoming—not too crowded, with comfortable seating and tables inside, and plenty of space to relax outside as well. The staff is always polite and clearly knows what they’re doing. Great spot to work, read, or just enjoy your coffee in peace.“

“Always get my iced coffee 100% and simply are awsome !“

“I have an amazing experience every time I stop in to my local Starbucks. I'm assuming Megan is the manager because she has turned the place around. It's obvious she takes great pride in doing her job. Her knowledge and customer service are unmatched.They should bring in more people like her.Thanks Megan.“

“Beautiful place to visit and walk around. The grounds are open to the public, although you should be respectful of the fact this is a residential college (grad dorms). Dining hall is probably the most beautiful on campus with its fantastic stained glass. A smaller stained glass window in memory of geaduate students who died in WW1 can also be found just outside the dining hall. As a place to live it can be sociable and attractive, but the rooms are somewhat spartan and lack air conditioning. It gets very hot and humid during the summer. Other options are more comfortable, but living here has a very special charm.“

“The coffee is excellent and the staff is professional, caring and have an enjoyable sense of humor. I will be back.“

“This is a convenient little coffee bar in the hotel. There aren't any coffee makers in rooms and the restaurant's kitchen is not open until noon so it is the only option for coffee and breakfast. The coffee was good and the service was great, though not staffed for large orders or a line. Food options are limited.
There is only the lobby seating as this shares the same counter as the check in desk, so need to take it to your room or find a table in another part of the lobby to sit, or near the bar if that's allowed. The lobby is quite lovely.

Dietary restrictions: Minimal information available about prepared foods (muffins, Danish), no labels for GF, etc“

“I am honestly surprised at some of these reviews. I guess people have an issue with patience? I visit this location often, and it is my favorite Starbucks within a 30-minute radius. The location is always clean, and the staff is super friendly. I come here to work often, and it's never too busy or crowded. Great work atmosphere, and music isn't too loud. I don't have to wait long for my order, and I typically mobile order once I arrive.

If you want a cozy and peaceful work environment, this is the Starbucks to stop at.“

“Ginger cardamom scones! Actually, all the scones are delicious. Coffee beans are roasted in a facility in Rocky Hill. Our favorite is the dark roast. Shop local!“

“A very nice and cozy café with a limited but enough menu & a wired working hours! Food is not allowed in the library so you could sit, relax, and dine here (please 1) note that this café is not open to public, 2)check the working hours before you go there to buy food!!)???“

“Im one of the managers at bakers next door. I don’t usually go to this one because its past my work. But two other places on my way in didnt have many donut selections.. this place was beautifully decorated for Christmas, had cute Christmas things you can buy, and a great variety of everything! While waiting, i even saw the owner checking the supply of donuts! Greatly ran!!“

“We stopped in on the way back from a trip to Trenton. We searched for a place to get Pho, soup dumplings and boba tea. This place hit on all three.
This is a small store front and at 9 PM on a Saturday it was very busy. There were a few seats open but most were full. There were a half dozen or more people waiting for food and drinks and a steady stream of people were coming in to pick up takeout.
The decor is contemporary, bright and busy lots of signs, specials, menus, etc.
There were only three employees visible and all were in constant motion.
The service was efficient without time to do much more than acknowledge each customer.
The food and drinks are focus and the draw
I am not a huge fan of boba tea, but when asked to try it, I have to say that it was excellent. The milk tea was rich and flavorful, the bobas were not too sweet, the texture was so much better than others that I've had. (Admitting that I am no expert, I will say that I will definitely explore the drink options when I am able to visit again.)
The soup dumplings were delicious. Many different flavors shown through and blended perfectly.
My favorite pho is roast pork, which was not an option, so we got the standard beef. It was also very good.
This seems to be a Princeton staple and I can absolutely see why. I wish they were closer. I would absolutely be a regular if it was close to home!
I would highly recommend this place!“

“I honestly can say that their staff are amazing. I was greeted very kindly and they made sure that they got everything on my order correct. Their espresso and coffee was perfect. There pastries soft and fresh. There brownies and almond croissants are to die for. I can easily say this is the best coffee shop that I have visited, and after a long day of shopping this is the place to go grab a nice fresh cup of coffee.“

“The best strawberry ice cream I’ve ever had! It was so good and tasted like real strawberries! The line was almost around the block but moved really quickly. Only thing is they don’t offer samples :( so you just gotta commit without knowing what it tastes like. Would definitely come again!“
