50 Best Coffee Shops near Holmdel

“I have dined here multiple times. The food is always great as is the service. The restaurant has a cute vibe, however the last few times I have eaten here the restaurant has been extremely dirty. The silverware is not clean and the tables and floors are not clean. The tables nearby remain uncleared for the duration of our dining. I want to keep dining here, but it really needs to be better kept.“

“Stopped in here well walking around the bell works building. Nice little coffee shop I ordered a Americano and apeanut butter and jelly bar everything is real good. Peanut butter and jelly bar had real peanut butter and jelly with a coffee cake type layer on top. The service was good I was in and out quickly“

“The coffee is good, but what they call “New Orleans style” is not really.New Orleans style coffee is more than just adding chicory. It’s a cafe au lait - aka coffee with warmed milk.You shouldn’t call it “New Orleans style” coffee if you don’t know that that is.“

“Great fresh baked breads and bakery items. Lots of goodies for my dog too!“

“I’ve been about 5 times so far and LOVE Emelio’s! The food is fresh and delicious and the portions generous. Even their simple side salad is something special - delicious, light dressing. And the service is great, which is hard to come by these days. It’s clearly a family-run place where Everyone cares about the quality. Also impeccably clean!“

“best in the biz! coffee 🔥, sandwiches 🔥, ambiance 🔥“

“I’ve been trying to go to Coffee Corral for a while. Finally made it today. It was so relaxing to grab a coffee and listen to live music on a sunny autumn day. I definitely will be back.“

“Booskerdoo Middletown donated hot chocolate for our local elementary school holiday event. It was such a hit! The kids loved the cocoa (peppermint and regular, mmmm) and it added such a special touch to the PTO organized family evening. Booskerdoo in general is great, but the Middletown location takes it a step beyond with their generosity, kind service, and personal touch from Jeff, the owner, who is almost always there making sure everything is running smoothly! You won’t get this type of caring and desire to be a part of the local community from just any coffee spot!

Kid-friendliness: Great location for kids and a business that cares about the local community!“

“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.“

“An Episode of the Podcast Local neighborhood experts Sharon and Kyle was filmed here 1/8/25 at California Cold Co in Brick NJ. Upon first entering this chic coffee shop, you can’t help but noticing the stylish trendy muted palettes, industrial ceiling and altogether sophisticated atmosphere. The key elements are clean lines, uncluttered space, and focus on natural elements. The star of the show the coffee. My co-host Kyle and I stayed with the traditional coffee with a shot of espresso and cold brew, however, there are endless specialty coffee drinks to choose from as we were leaving. We were offered a complimentary avocado toast, which was delicious. If you’re looking for Instagrammable photos and modern space look no further than California Cold Co. in Brick New Jersey.

“So, we’re from boston and are visiting my son. Not too much to choose from around here in terms of restaurants. But suddenly I see a sign Minas Grill and went in just because of the word grill. It’s Brazilian! My heart is singing! Great coffee, the food is like home cooked. Loved the cheese bread and you can shop here too! Lovely warm people and so helpful! So we’ll be back while we’re here.“

“Meghan when above and beyond for us we came here as a family of five with a 6-month-old and a 4-year-old and she couldn't have been better.

“Overheard a worker saying “I love working, I love making coffee, and I love making people happy” we grabbed our coffee and she has made cute lil art with a message. Thanks Jules for putting a big smile on our faces on this lovely day!!! The best coffee in Jersey!“

“Rook in Freehold made itself a staple in my morning routine! Not only do they craft a fantastic product to help jumpstart my daily productivity, but the employees are some of the kindest people going. It’s hard not to smile when in the building, knowing you’re going to indulge in a delicious cup of coffee and chat with a great staff of people. Thank you Rook in Freehold, I will see you tomorrow.“

“My go to coffee spot whenever I visit Red Bank. The family I stay with try to take me to starbies and I MAKE THEM go to Rook. The staff were patient with my boomers who didn't understand the menu. I like that it's an in and out kinda place. Get your Joe and bounce! Rook crew, you RULE!!“

“The best donuts around! They make them to order and customize exactly how you want them. My kids love them, I love them and Joe is always super friendly and helpful. Definitely worth the drive!“

“Adorable location and delicious selections of fresh coffee. Such a pleasure ☕️☕️“

“Great coffee, nice variety of syrups for lattes, and the best cinnamon scones of all time! Bonus: operated by a cute, funny, nice couple. Ditch the Dunkin, go to KCC!“

“I was in the market for a new coffee machine with timer settings and the ability to make a very good, consistent pot of coffee. I called 1st In Coffee and spoke to their customer service department and was given multiple choices of what I could purchase. I picked one and received it the next business day via UPS. It was a piece of cake to set up and it worked perfectly and did exactly what I wanted. I was very happy with the service I received and would definitely do business with these guys again.“

“A suggestion. Middletown had to be closed due to it not being financially viable. As a daily coffee drinker and supporter of local business, I can tell you the sole reason why people choose Rook, Starbucks etc. over Booskerdoo. Your prices. A 24 oz flavored
iced latte with alternative milk is $8 and that's without tipping. That is insanity. The average person can't afford that.The largest starbucks drink with alternative milk is $7 (still pricey) and the largest Rook drink (cold brew,alternative milk) is between $5 and $6. That leaves room for tip and a reason to return frequently.“

“Had breakfast at Johnnys this morning. Great sandwich, good prices and got to me Johnny. Five stars“

“Noice food noice iced tea.“

“Big vibes for a little place. It was a great way to start my morning this morning, from the good mornings and positive and uplifting energy from the employees (from both Pat’s and Coffee Surf) to their breakfast sandwich and the BEST cup of Chai tea I have had in a while. I highly recommend both places.“

“I love Hudsons !! Besides the Great coffee scones and muffins the workers are amazing always nice! You can sit outside and bring your dog a nice atmosphere! This time of year they make pumpkin donuts pumpkin coffee which is delicious hot or iced! And if we’re lucky enough we can get a couple of those pumpkin Whoopie pie sent over from Atlantic Highlands!!“

“I really like the fact that they have quality coffee in a rural town like Colts Necks. I was very happily surprised.Please let me put my own sugar on the coffee. I asked for two packets of brown sugar. The worker probably out two big spoons of white sugar. It was way too sweet to be enjoyed. And because they were about to close, I didn't want to ask them to re do it. So I had to drink it : (“

“OMG... Thank goodness a true Diner has arrived! Moved to Morgan's Bluff 4 yrs ago and I was so disappointed with the Ocean diner. If you can't make a good breakfast or a decent hamburger, you're useless to me as a diner! Guiseppe and son Sergio have already made a name for themselves by serving awesome tasting food in abundance, great service in an immaculate and friendly environment. Love the way they come to each table to see if all is good...making you feel comfortable like they've known you forever!! Keep up the good work. Buena fortuna!“

“This is my closest local dunkin & we go through the drive-through almost every day. I have a serious matcha latte addiction & we prefer Dunkin’s drinks over the competition. Our lattes are always made perfectly & our food/snack orders are always as requested. Staff is professional, friendly& personable.I continue to order from this location. Thanks guys!

Vegetarian options: The humus or avocado toast with roasted sun dried tomatoes are favorites’

Parking: There is immediate parking in front, but this is a Large parking plaza (conveniently shared with Bay Shore Pharmacy, FoodTown Supermarket, Pomodoro Rosso Pizza, a dry cleaner, a liquor store and A sub shop) so you will always find parking near by.“

“I love this dunkin so much, they always get my coffee order perfect. It's always the right color, and the ratios are perfect. Staff is always super friendly, and it's always clean inside. I never have to wait long for my coffee either. I travel from Bayonne to Freehold for work and I will wait till I reach freehold to get my coffee.“

“Love the coffee! Iced or hot. Also the bagel twists are delicious.“

“Love this place and the folks who run it! Fresh food and great service every time! The French dip Sammy is THE BOMB!💣. The best👍“

“Wonderful brunch menu and great service (Thx Kaylee!) Made for an enjoyable Sunday!“

“To sit back and relaxing place“

“We stopped here for a quick early morning bite. The place is conveniently located near the Stop & Shop, and has lots of parking. This particular venue was spacious and clean. The service was efficient and friendly. Dunkin now serves oatmeal which was good. The coffee is always a pleasant treat. For $4 I'd say we lucked out with exactly what we wanted and enjoyed.“

“So amazed by the dream team at this Dunkin!To say the least I order my drinks VERY DIFFERENTLY, the team never has an issue with my requests and always makes my drinks exactly how I like and need.It’s so refreshing to come into a Dunkin and not having to argue with someone about why I need my drink a certain way for 20 minutes.I will only come here, I love the team !Thanks guys !!“

“I got a Dunkin' Donuts K cups at home I want to get“
