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.“

“It's coffee!! What's not to like🤗but it looks like no body is in there and takes forever to get a cup of coffee??? Doing online orders taking time off people present. Maybe can fix how they do this...serve the people who are actually there first“

“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 🩵“

“Great coffee by the pour over aficionado. Brew has many choices in coffee flavors that will satisfy your pallet.“

“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. 🥰🥰“

“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.“

“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.“

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

“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!“

“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!“

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

“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!!!“

“Great coffee and delicious breakfast/brunch food.“

“Yummy coffee and very kind staff. Highly recommend“

“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.“

“Came in for breakfast. Anthony was my server and he was great. He was Knowledgeable and accommodated my dietary needs. He checked in from time to time and I will request him when I return. The food was fresh and prepared well and was nicely presented.“

“I purchased a new Jura ENA 8 from 1st In Coffee. I'm absolutely delighted in every way! This machkne is a magical piece of technology. It makes all coffee drinks PERFECTLY. I have a Gaggia Classic and could never make an espresso drink as good as the Jura. AND its fully automatic. It's truly impressive. Before pulling the trigger, I called some dealers. I was most impressed by Jim at 1st.
He was polite, patient, and he answered all my questions. The machine arrived within a few days in 100% perfect condition. This is an authorized Jura dealer for the last 22+ years. I called Jura Inc. and they confirmed this. Jura Inc. wasn't anywhere near as helpful as 1st! The actual manufacturer! I feel comfortable dealing with this company and look forward to doing business with them again for coffee and supplies.“

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

“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 😞.“

“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.“

“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.“

“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.“

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

“I actually had to take the time to give this place a five star review because I was so impressed by their service, atmosphere And friendliness. The staff that was working this morning was absolutely amazing and truly are the reason I will continue to come back to this one even though I am a Hazlet resident and used to go to THE ONE in Hazlet, but stopped a while ago because the staff and attitude there is so absolutely horrific. I left them a review today also just because it showed me how disappointing their location is and that they should really go to the Cliffwood location and be trained by them. Even the coffee was better. Five star review across the board!“

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

“I always drove past but never stopped in. Today I finally ordered a mobile drive thru order and picked it up and I was delightfully surprised. I ordered the “Fall Oat Boy” and the name alone was enough for me to love it but then I tasted it and YES. Moral of the story, please stop by.“

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

“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👍“

“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.“

“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.“

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

“Nice employees friendly and eager to help“

“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 !“

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

“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!!“

“America is Ready to run on dunkin“

“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.“

“This Starbucks is so clean, relaxing, and very calming when you walk in. The environment is spacious with ample areas to sit indoors as well as outdoors. I always order ahead and never once have I had an error with any order. My coffees are made the same and perfect each time and my food is always warm. Highly recommended if you are in the area.“

“Always makes my coffee perfect and the donuts r always fresh“

“I love Starbucks this particular location is extremely busy and I think management needs more employees. I feel bad for the employees they look stressed and are running and working the hardest and the best they can. They are doing a great job for the amount of volume of customers coming in“

“10/10! Stopped by for a bagel and coffee and it was one of the best bagels I have had in a while! The bagels are light and fluffy with a great flavor and do not leave you feeling too full or heavy afterward. We had the chai latte, pumpkin spice latte, and pb latte all of which were great. The atmosphere is mismatched eclectic with a very cozy coffee house vibe. The service was on point and extremely friendly and the place itself was very clean and well presented. If you are in the area you have to stop in and try it!“
