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!“

“Wonderful, friendly owners! Coffee is delicious and the greek baked goods/desserts are fantastic! Bonus... you can hone your greek language skills 🩵“

“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!“

“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.

“Such a great little place!“

“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.“

“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.“

“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!“

“A few of us are in the area from Canada on business every couple of months and for all of us we spend those weeks looking forward to Rook and we go ebery day! Its a mix of the Columbia pour over and NOLA cold brew within the group and they're both amazing every time.

This store can be quite busy but we order through the app before leaving the hotel and it's pretty much always ready when we arrive.“

“Nice new coffee shop. Coffee was mediocre but passable. Food was surpriisingly good. There were nice merch. The color way of the cup was nice- off white ivory with plum purple brown hues. U can tell they tried to make the place nice, which they pulled off well.“

“Manager Ali has done an amazing job of creating an atmosphere that is always warm and welcoming. Her staff is equally wonderful. It’s become an important hub for the community.
I don’t drink coffee but I get the 24 oz. green iced tea. It hits the spot for me and you can get a refill for about a buck more. I’ve also had the hand pies and they are a delicious treat.“

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

“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 ❤️“

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

“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 ☕️☕️“

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

“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.“

“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.“

“To sit back and relaxing place“

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

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

“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!“

“Noice food noice iced tea.“

“pumpkin coffee is back. so excited. love my daily ice tea.“

“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.“

“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👍“

“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.“

“Staff is pleasant, friendly, knowledgeable and helpful. iced coffees, cold brew and nitro are very good as are the iced teas and lemonade with a variety of combinations and flavors.“

“good DD Great place to chill.“
