50 Best Coffee Shops near Hillsdale

“So if you’re looking for not just great coffee, but over the top helpful and knowledgeable staff. Then you’ve found the right place! The Barista’s Touch is a fantastic choice with fresh ideas and incredible tasting coffee beverages. The prices are competitive with other independent coffee shops in the area, but these guys are consistent in quality and ingenuity. They make some wild creations with and without coffee. They carry some fantastic local bakery specialties that Don just look delicious, but absolutely melt in your mouth. These folks are legit and I highly not just recommend but encourage you to stop by and pick up a cup of Java either hot or cold. I promise you won’t be disappointed and you’ll come back.“

“This was my second time visiting this café. The first time we tried the bagels and really enjoyed them. This time, we ordered an Italian hero, but it honestly didn’t impress me. I know it’s a simple dish, but it didn’t meet my expectations. The lettuce was served as a whole leaf instead of being properly chopped, and the sandwich was quite dry—I had to ask for extra vinegar to make it better.

The service is good, but this is definitely a place for bagels. I wouldn’t expect much from the rest of the menu.“

“If you’re looking for the best bagels around, Ronnie’s Bagels in Hillsdale is the place to go. I happily pass three other bagel shops on my way from River Vale just to come here — and it’s absolutely worth it every time.

My go-to order is a jalapeño cheddar bagel with Taylor ham, egg, and cheese, finished with a little salt, pepper, and ketchup. Every bite is perfect — the bagels are fresh, the flavors are on point, and the ingredients are always top quality.

The combination of a welcoming local vibe and unbeatable bagels makes Ronnie’s a true gem. Highly recommend! And of course Debbie is the best :)!“

“Great coffee, great pastries, great man. Sam is the nicest man there is. He invited me to come eat in his own home. His wife's homemade pastries are the best!“

“Had the breakfast burrito 🌯 been wanting to get to this place for a while.

Wasn’t the best I’ve ever had but it was good. The chorizo was the one I went with definitely wasn’t disappointed.

I don’t think it’s worth a far drive but if you’re in the area or it’s not completely out your way it’s definitely worth stopping in for a visit. The place does have seating but not a lot of room. There is a park near by and lots of outdoor seating near the area. That’s what I chose to do.

The breakfast burrito price was amazing especially for nyc the food was good quality and really delicious. The sauce everyone was talking about wasn’t over powering. Matter of fact I wish I had more next time I’ll ask for some on the side felt like I needed an extra pump 😂.

I truly enjoyed this place and I’m sure you guys will also the coffee was mid but it’s ok food makes up for it.

Hope you enjoyed this review like always follow me on IG @imbroke_eats and @imbroke_rob

Hope this helped“

“Cappuccino & service is amazing.“

“Great brunch place with kids. Great service.“

“The coffee is perfect and because they roast themselves it is better for you and it doesn’t bother my stomach. The blueberry muffins and chocolate chip cookie are the best I’ve ever had! Love this place.“

“The best coffee ever and the desserts 5 stars“

“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.“

“My new favorite coffee shop! Excellent service and product! Highly recommend to all coffee lovers.“

“Just Perfect“

“Amazing chicken, pastas, wraps, deserts. Bingsoo with mango is fantastic, something you must have!!!“

“Such amazing coffee and the food looked really good. Will def return“

“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.🤍“

“I stopped at Cafe Chocolat during a road trip, and I’m so glad I did. Everything was absolutely delicious! The cookies were incredible—warm, soft but crispy and full of flavor. The chocolates were rich and clearly high quality, and the sandwiches were super fresh and really delicious . It was the perfect unexpected stop, and I’d definitely go out of my way to visit again. Highly recommend! The staff were so friendly and welcoming especially the gentleman who greets you when you walk in.“

“Great cappuccino and cheesecake. Off the beaten path.“

“Amazing coffee and friendly, attentive staff!“

“I stopped by for sweets and coffee, and everything was amazing. The desserts were so fresh and delicious, and the coffee was perfect.

What really stood out though was the staff, they were so warm, welcoming, and friendly from the moment I walked in. They made the whole experience even better.

The vibe inside is cozy and inviting, making it a perfect spot to sit, relax, and enjoy something sweet. I’ll definitely be coming back again!“

“I've been coming here for about 5 years now. It's in my top 5 favorite places in the world. Great for business meetings, snacks, spot to work, best coffee around, best pastries around, beautiful/relaxing atmosphere, excellent service, and I could go on and on. Just being inside settles me and reduces my stress level. Anyone I bring states that it's one of their new favorite places. Try the spinach/cheese croissant, but leave one for me. :) 😀...Oh, and for my vegan and gluten free friends, there are loads of options for you here.“

“They had me at lavender latte. Then add the lovely people who work there, the relaxing ambience, and the delicious goodies. 🥰“

“One of the best einspanners in Bergen County! Theres always a few people doing work or having conversations. The staff is friendly. If you’re looking for minimalistic and aesthetic vibe this is the place.

For someone with a sweet tooth, I enjoy the Lotus Biscoff Latte and Matcha einspanner ☺“

“Went for the first time and I was very impressed with the strawberry matcha, organic just as advertised. there are so many menu items that sounded very good that I wanted to try. The employee was very friendly! I will be coming here again soon!“

“Tried this place for the first time the other day and the coffee was smooth delicious. Juan, the barista was super friendly and knowledgeable. The two disappointing parts were no sugar free flavoring and the ham and cheese croissant. As someone with Type 1 Diabetes sugar free flavoring options are my only option so it’s saddening when there aren’t any. The croissant was tasteless and the ham wasn’t a normal color. As a whole, it was a positive experience and I will return for the coffee just not a pastry.“

“My first time trying them was amazing, my aunt, cousins along with myself did a coffee tasting there and everything was great!! I had the FFF (Triple F) with a HEC on brioche 🔥! Service was exceptional as well, definitely a comeback whenever I’m in NJ again“

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

“Vale Coffee Shoppe makes the best tasting almond milk lattes & flat whites ! I rarely miss a day at this spot. Tasty treats as well. Great service and there is often a special event like crafts & music. Forget Starbucks or Dunkin' - support an awesome local business !“

“Delectable baked goods!! Inviting atmosphere and the best of service. Paying $15.44 a cheese and spinach pastry and a medium coffee was a surprise.“

“If you’re in the Bronx and love Vietnamese food, you are in for a treat. This place is easily one of the best Vietnamese restaurants in New York. The pho is so flavorful and filling especially with the beef and pickled vegetables. The rice and pork with fresh vegetables is so good. The rice goes so well with the crunchy vegetables and the grilled pork chop. Overall, this place is so good.“

“Had a wonderful experience at this restaurant! The service was absolutely excellent. The decoration and ambiance were beautiful, creating such a warm and stylish atmosphere. I also really appreciated how accommodating they were with customizing vegan options. If you’re looking for vegan options, I definitely recommend calling ahead and asking so they can prepare something for you in advance. It’s not always easy to find places willing to do that, and they made it effortless and delicious. And for all chocolate lovers, dark hot chocolate is an absolute must have! Highly recommend for anyone looking for great food, amazing service, and a lovely dining experience!“

“Great menu and quality food“

“Big fans of the coffee drinks both cold and hot and the muffins, croissants, cookies and other baked goods are delicious and fresh baked on the premises!“

“Today I walked in by curiosity and it was the best decision yet.. I ordered the most delicious bagel with Swiss cheese, turkey , tomato and an iced matcha latte that was made freshly in front of me with a coffee with regular milk .. best breakfast by far ! Will be a regular her for sure!“

“Very good bakery. Nice ambience.“

“Ordered take out and got their scones, mocha, and americano. The americano was made when I arrived to pick up my order, super fresh. The mocha was rich and velvety. I haven’t had a good mocha in a long time, so I was truly impressed with the mocha. The scones were good, and definitely good to share for one. Very buttery and flaky, good on its own. I didn’t think it needed more butter. But definitely pairs well with the jam. Will be visiting again as their drinks and pastries are really good.“

“EXCELLENT SANDWICHES, GOOD COFFEE“

“This is a great coffee shop. They make the best cappuccino in town and the service is always excellent, you can tell they care about making sure you enjoy your visit. All the coffee items are delicious and there are plenty of pastries, but the key to your visit here is to make sure you try whatever homemade items are available, they’re simply delicious, all of them.“

“First time stepping in this cafe with my fiancé and it’ll definitely be our go-to spot. Staff was very welcoming and willing to answer any questions we had. Food and coffee were great and fresh. So happy to have a place like this close to home! We devoured the food and forgot to take pictures lol.“

“Boxer Donut is a charming, small coffee shop located just off Main Street that packs a big punch in quality and flavor. Despite its modest size, this spot stands out for its excellent lattes and freshly made donuts. The coffee is rich and carefully crafted, with a smooth texture that makes each latte a delight—perfect for anyone who appreciates a well-made cup of coffee. Equally, the donuts crafted on-site offer a unique twist, reflecting the care and creativity behind every treat.

The ambiance inside Boxer Donut is relaxed and inviting, making it an ideal destination whether you’re looking for a quiet moment to enjoy your coffee or a friendly meeting spot. With its convenient location near Main Street, the coffee shop is an accessible gem for local residents and visitors alike. The efficient service further enhances the overall experience.“

“Friendly staff, great music, delicious coffee. They’re happy to fill your reusable mug as well, which is always a plus. Coffee is great, but I wouldn’t recommend the matcha, it was overly sweet and not very strong. Nice ambiance especially when the fireplace is going. Good space to work or hang out with friends, but be aware that on the weekends it can get pretty packed with the cyclist crowd - though they’re very friendly, they take up a lot of seating!“

“Truly excellent freshly prepared food... outstanding service... wonderful owner ...and greatest employees. Please support this business. 2 thumbs up!“

“My first time trying them was amazing, my aunt, cousins along with myself did a coffee tasting there and everything was great!! I had the FFF (Triple F) with a HEC on brioche 🔥! Service was exceptional as well, definitely a comeback whenever I’m in NJ again“

“This is an awesome cafe with great coffee! The owner was super friendly. He clearly has regulars and takes an interest in getting to know customers, which is refreshing. The cafe feels spacious and even has a great patio area once it gets warm. They have good chairs and is a place you can get work done.“

“I've been a regular here for a while! They have really great sushi, and it's also very affordable. The service is wonderful, and you can tell they really care about their customers. I'm always looking forward to my next visit.“
