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.“

“☕ Daily routine. 🥯

Starting the day with a fresh bagel and an amazing cup of coffee from Rook Coffee. The coffee is always smooth, rich, and full of flavor, making every morning a little better.

Great quality, friendly service, and the perfect way to begin the day. Highly recommended! ✨“

“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.“

“Wonderful experience with Asbury Fresh Markets! I highly recommend checking out this market if you haven’t visited yet. It’s very well organized, and my day went smoothly overall. The fee is reasonable, and on the days I’ve attended, there’s definitely good foot traffic. I was a vendor at the Bell Works location, which is a beautiful, dog-friendly building. There are also lots of children and families, making it a fun environment to sell in!“

“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!“

“Took the dog to the animal hospital nearby and stopped in for a cappuccino. I was impressed with the operation, and the different type of coffees and preparations. Definitely a great place for coffee.“

“I go here multiple times a week. The owner is always very nice and the place is so inviting. Sometimes I order pickup and sometimes I bring a friend to have coffee and lunch. It’s the greatest spot. Highly recommend the ruby turkey sandwich. I’m very thankful they have gluten free bread. 🥰🥰“

“Best coffee & danishes in NJ, hands down.“

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

“My wife’s birthday was this past week. The only thing she asked for was a cake from Turquoise! And that’s what she got. The fluffiest, sweetest Red Velvet cake and Cream Cheese. Decorated to perfection! I’m trying to post a photo or two but the app won’t allow it. Oh well… take my word for it. Delicious.“

“This is such an amazing place! Delicious coffees, an awesome atmosphere, and simply some of the best plants you can get in the area; it’s a completely wonderful experience every time I visit! The owner, Nubia, is beyond kind, knowledgeable, and always so welcoming! This female owned and operated small business should be celebrated for how amazing it truly is! Skip the big coffee chains and big box shops and support this incredible, local businesses, instead!“

“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.“

“Great food and reasonable price!!!“

“THE BREAKFAST AND LUNCH (FOOD OVERALL) IS AMAZING!!! WOW, THE BEST I'VE HAD IN CENTRAL JERSEY. EVERYTHING IS COOKED TO PERFECTION. THIS WAS MY FIRST TIME HAVING THEIR BREAKFAST AND LUNCH AND THIS PLACE HAS WON ME OVER. IM VERY PICKY WHEN IT COMES TO A GOOD BREAKFAST, THIS PLACE HAS FULFILLED MY NEEDS. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND AND WILL REVISIT TIME-TO-TIME. SO GLAD I FINALLY FOUND A PLACE I LIKE. 🙌“

“Yummy coffee and very kind staff. Highly recommend“

“Loved coming here for my morning coffee while staying near by for a business trip. It's cash only, so I was feeling lucky I happened to have cash as I don't always. As a seattle person the price was soooo reasonable. I had the Pumpkin Spice roast (flavored beans, as drip coffee) and the medium roast and both were excellent.

As we get farther into fall I have been day dreaming about the pumpkin spice... it was delicious“

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

“Just fabulous. I heard of Rook coffee frankly from Alix Earle on TikTok. Anyways I was in red bank and saw a sign and thought that might be that place she kept talking about.

I didn’t have high expectations or anything but I was curious. And it is fabuloussssss - the New Orleans cold brew! I had New Orleans cold brew in New Orleans and always try it black first. When I did it had a very licorice bitter taste. Rook advertised theirs as dark chocolatey and that is what it truly was. I could drink it black but then I added oat milk and it is divine. Love love love! Thank you Rook! Come to NYC 😘“

“Rook never disappoints. With a great environment, coffee, and staff it makes for a really enjoyable experience. Staff are really nice and helpful as well when it comes to interacting and asking questions. Love this place and I think you will too try it!“

“Yummy!! Love the speciality donuts!!“

“Great coffee and delicious breakfast/brunch food.“

“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.“

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

“Noice food noice iced tea.“

“Ray and Jay are some of the sweetest people in all of Keyport“

“First time here and won't be the last. The ice cream was so good. The only problem with the ice cream was which flavor to choose. every one we tried was so good.“

“Been going here since it opened, as a great place to sit in the sun outdoors, or inside at the various seating options. Fine coffee, great service from long time friendly staff members here, and a top place for casual meetings on the West Side of Red Bank. Limited but tasty food options.“

“Zeynep is amazing!! She baked an absolutely stunning first birthday cake for my son’s’s birthday. It was a 3-tiered teddy bear-themed cake, and she did a fabulous job!! She was a pleasure to work with, and I’d highly highly recommend her.“

“My grandchildren love this place so my son took us at there at 5 minutes before closing at 5 pm. They were nice enough to let us in. We got Bavarian Cream and Chocolates S’mores. Delicious!! Very unique and tasty donuts with friendly and smiling staff. My grandchildren have great taste!!“

“Every now and then I’d stop in to get a bowl but not enough to make it worth getting a rewards membership. During this summer I made some dietary adjustments to help enhance and maintain current healthy lifestyle and decided to get a reward membership. Staff member (my apologies for not remembering her name) was not only professional but appeared sincerely engaged with informing the benefits with the reward membership and improving my insights on the menu board. I felt genuinely welcomed.
Thank you 🙏🏾“

“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.“

“I’m picky when it comes to my coffee, which is why I get mine here when I’m in the area. Coffee is always perfect and strong The bagels are also very good, along with their other baked goods. The workers are very nice too!“

“Good food and service, very satisfied thank you! I love the hot Cheetos mozzarella !“

“Best rook ever! I hope the manager knows they have the absolute nicest girls working here! Me and my nana have been coming here before college testing, we don’t live around the area. The girl behind the counter remembered i was taking my test and asked me about it a week later when i was up here to take my next test. That meant so much to me!
also the Banana toffee is TO DIE FOR!!!“

“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!“

“By far one of my favorite dunkins to go to. The wait time is very fast and efficient. The whole staff is amazing and I was greeted by a very joyful young lady named Dee in the drive thru with a very bright and cheerful personality will definitely continue to return to this location.“

“Easy to order with accuracy and time. Im not a fan of sandwiches just taste bland. They have every selection of donuts which they keep fresh rotating hot out of the oven. Its just me that I dont like their donuts as they all taste the with that familiar aroma. Again, that's me. You have all you expect from a Dunkin so no change in the quality. They have a drive thru that is somehow tucked within limited lot space. Its a heavily trafficked by location to main roads with a traffic light at entry from 34. Be careful of parking and walking into store. The drive thru is very active making parking entry and exit challenging due to volume and driver choices. Slow and steady on feet and car. Just be aware of your surroundings. I usually get the 1lb packages of flavor led coffee. They have a special here with purchase if these coffees. Can't remember details but the 4lb total estimare comes out $30-$41 range. Staff is friendly and efficient and the property is well maintained.“

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

“When you want the best ���“

“To sit back and relaxing place“

“A passionate owner is the first step to a successful business and you have that here. Great pork roll and coffee is a plus. Highly recommend this place.“

“Nice location but weird layout. Ppl were nice.“

“I loved having a peaceful cup of coffee with my mom and little sister! I love the way you newly decorated this site! I love a lot of the people who work here! Hi Maria! God bless you all! Keep up the great works!“

“My niece took me here & the crepes were so awesome. Great service too! Loved it..“

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

“Just a few minutes ago I ended up going to this Dunkin because by where I live they didn't have donuts left.
When I got here they had donuts but not enough with sprinkles and glaze for my grandchildren.
The man with light brown hair and light eyes didn't get his name overheard me telling my husband and he offered to dip them and add sprinkles. I couldn't believe it. Never has a Dunkin Donut shop done that for us. I am greatful and my Grandchildren will be so happy.
Thank you and be blessed 🙌“

“Nice employees friendly and eager to help“
