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.“

“☕ 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! ✨“

“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!“

“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.“

“Great food and reasonable price!!!“

“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 coffee & danishes in NJ, hands down.“

“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!“

“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.

“Yummy coffee and very kind staff. Highly recommend“

“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!“

“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👍“

“Awesome place. Our order was ready in a few minutes. The place gave us ocean beach vibes and we had the pleasure of having who I assume was the owner come and give our daughter some stickers which she was excited to receive. Can’t wait to come back.“

“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!“

“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.“

“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.“

“This is my go to place for coffee beans, roasted on premises. There is a good range of beans. I started with the summer blend and found that too mild. Then I switched to Brazil and am happy as a clam. And, the baked goods are delicious, vanilla scone topped with a dollop of icing. Yum!“

“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!!!“

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

“When you want the best ���“

“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.“

“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.“

“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.“

“totally blown away . yummy“

“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.“

“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 😘“

“Even though Diana was working by herself, she did an amazing job managing the busyness of the store. She was making drinks, helping customers, and still taking the time to have conversations with the people waiting in line. She was so friendly, welcoming, and handled everything with such a great attitude. My drinks were also made perfectly and excellent customer service. Great job, Diana!“

“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!!“

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

“Wow! From the first time I took a bite out of the mix dozen bagels I bought I knew I have found the perfect bagel. Great staff, clean and a delicious variety of coffee.“

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

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

“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.“

“Victoria is awesome ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Excellent staff and good coffee. The coffee always smells and tastes fresh. The quality of service is above and beyond. Victoria is my favorite; very sweet, friendly, and professional. I like her personality a latte. She’s the epitome of awesomeness and an asset to corporate. A+ 👏👏👏“

“I love this bakery. Reminds me of the Italian bakeries in Bay Ridge & Bensonhurst Brooklyn. I visited the day before Easter and they were busy. I was afraid I'd waited too long for St Joseph pastries but they were prepared!! The pistachio cups were light & delicious. The sesame semolina bread great, I love it gutted with butter. The St Joseph pastries I'll have on Easter. Got my friend the cannoli cream one and for me the custard. Great little bakery, friendly staff and a great assortment to choose from. I'll be back. It's so hard to find the Italian family bakeries these days. We have to support them 💚 so they keep us happy with their delicious treats.“

“Noice food noice iced tea.“

“First time at Once Bitten and we will be back! So many choices of donuts! We bought the Red Bank, Strawberry lemonade, raspberry beret (I think that was the name) and another chocolate raspberry. All were delicious. Can’t wait to go back and try more flavors!“

“To sit back and relaxing place“

“I was picking up my mom’s birthday order and mine today. I’m so pleased! They called me in advance to let me know they were out of stock of part of my order. Very attentive. Then when I went there for pick up around 1:15pm today, a girl named (hopefully I heard it correctly) Carrie helped me with everything which was a relief because it’s my first time visiting this place. Great service! Thank you“
