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.“

“Just the best little coffee shop around! I'm not a big coffee guy, but they have an Malt Cold Brew that I get with oat milk that is heavenly and surprisingly doesn't give me the jitters like so many others do. Other times, their Iced Matcha Latte (also with oat milk) is just the right amount of refreshing that I need when stumbling into work there at Bell Works. But, if I'm really being honest, it is the staff there that keeps me coming back each day I work from the office. I feel like Norm from Cheers when I walk in, greeted by name with my customary order already on its way to being made and I don't even need to give them my name or phone number for the loyalty program, such is their attention to customer service. Do yourself a favor and stop by and tell them Gary sent you.“

“Rook’s mocha with oat milk and agave is hands-down the best coffee drink I’ve had. The espresso is bold but smooth, the chocolate is rich without being too sweet, and the oat milk adds the perfect creamy texture. The agave gives it just the right touch of natural sweetness without overpowering the flavors. It’s the kind of drink you crave again as soon as it’s gone. If you're into mochas or just want something new and delicious, this one’s a winner!“

“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 coffee & danishes in NJ, hands down.“

“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.“

“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.“

“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.

“Great food and reasonable price!!!“

“Such a great little place!“

“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.“

“Yummy!! Love the speciality donuts!!“

“My husband and I had breakfast here yesterday. It was our first time at Rise n Shine and we loved it!!! Great food and service. Our new favorite restaurant.“

“I tried the iced latte with oat milk, it was sooo good, really enjoyed my morning coffee. I posted a video on TikTok and mentioned you ✨.
Unfortunately it's so far from where I live, hope you guys open in the Brunswick area 😞 just checked the closest location is 30 mins away 😞.“

“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. Thank you so much for the amazing service the food was incredible and we had so much fun what a beautiful and fun spot will definitely be there again can't wait to see you again Meghan!“

“People so rude to leave this awesome place less than 5stars. The workers are so friendly and the coffee is OUTSTANDING. Yes I was so tempted to jump over the counter and eat every bakery item on display 😋 . Lol jk ……seriously I did think about it. Wish we had a place like this south Jersey ❤️“

“We usually go to the one in Long Branch which you only go to for the great coffee, no seating etc. my only complaint is that it’s 50 miles from my house in Morris County which is desperately in need of a location! A great location just got taken by another coffee and muffin spot.“

“Finally, Keansburg gets a great place to get coffee! The Customer Service is wonderful. The two women that work there are genuine and kind. The coffee is delicious and my favorite is the coconut cold brew. Aside from that I’ll typically get a Nutella strawberry scone, which is out of this world. Even if you’re not in the area coming to pass through is definitely a good idea.“

“Owen the employee does a great job making my wife and I ice coffees“

“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!“

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

“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!!“

“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👍“

“Nice employees friendly and eager to help“

“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.“

“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!“

“I came from Massachusetts with my family to visit, and it did not disappoint! All. The merchandise is beyond adorable! The tabby cake was good but a little Sweeter than expected, the coffee selection was good too ,but I'm writing this review for Nancy ! She was incredible, so personable , so easy to talk too and patient, this girly loves her job and it shows in her amazing customer service skills
She made the experience worth the 6 hour drive I would come back just for her !“

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

“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 almost don’t want to write a glowing review because I don’t want it to become *too* popular that I can’t go here for a perfectly relaxing little quiet escape in the middle of the day - but I have to. The staff is friendly, the atmosphere is just right, and the coffee is delicious!“

“It's a good place to have coffee and relax.“

“My husband usually picks up my mobile orders for me, so I haven't had the pleasure to experience in-store service. But when I do receive my order, it is ALWAYS top tier! I have no complaints. I've been to other Playa Bowls and I'm very thankful this location is my local store. Keep up the great work!!“

“One of the best Starbucks I ever have been to my favorite spot literally down the street from my house popped in nearly 20 minutes before closing. They had dropped the cash and they did the awesome thing of still taking care of my order when I told you it is a one service all the way I truly appreciate every single barista here at this location.“

“America is Ready to run on dunkin“

“Noice food noice iced tea.“

“I usually don’t leave reviews, but the Atlantic Highlands Starbucks staff are fantastic. Linda gave excellent recommendations and was genuinely kind.
It’s worth mentioning that this is one of several positive experiences I’ve had at this specific location. The staff here are patient and welcoming. Small gestures of kindness really go a long way 😊“
