Coffee Shops near Lakehurst

“Ordered the other day on the app. Picked up my coffee and it tasted burnt, didn't taste right at all Now, I've had that happen in other stores thru the years and usually they get defensive saying it's not. Anyway, I walked back and and told them and the young guy in the asked if I'd like him to remake it(someone else made it) with a smile . I said yes and in a flash I had my coffee correctly, a great attitude from him, and walked out a happy customer. More customer service should be like him & his coworker. I will definitely go there more often because my other one acts like I'm bothering them when I go in and puts your coffee down on the other side and walks away .. The ones at the DD are super friendly and personable!!“

“I just happened to hear about the exceedingly gracious and kind manner with which your staff treated a special little girl who’s Mom took her through your drive-up for a special 4th birthday treat today. You not only made her day with your birthday wishes and kind words, all of us who heard her story are so pleased to know that the McDonald’s on Rt. 70 is such an asset to our neighborhood and treats its customers with big smiles and good wishes. Congratulations on a job well done!“

“Good food and service at the Wilmington, DE location“

“Pulled into Milk Crate Coffee off Route 70 in Lakewood the other morning to knock out some work and grab a quick fix. From the outside, the building has a funny setup that looks like an old hotel converted into a business park, with the shop taking over what probably used to be the main lobby and dining hall.

Inside, though, the vibe is totally unique. They have retro light fixture setups, art on the walls, and cushioned curved benches near the front. They even have lightbulbs on the ceiling that spell out the word coffee in massive six foot letters over the main room, which I did not even spot until I looked up directly at the lights. Even the bathroom has a bright pink neon sign on the wall, so they definitely leaned into the quirky decor.

When it comes to the actual coffee, these guys know what they are doing. I love that you can pick your own single origin beans and have them make a custom pour over right then and there. I went with a Honduran light roast, and it hit the spot while I sat at a table with my laptop. The staff was knowledgeable, and happy to chat about the coffee options, if you find one of the employees that knows coffee very well.

To go with the brew, I grabbed a chocolate chip scone. Now, the coffee was pretty solid, but the scone was average at best. It had that boxed, reheated feel to it rather than fresh baked from scratch. That said, plenty of people around me were ordering hot meals that looked really good, so it seems like a popular local hangout for a full breakfast.

All in all, Milk Crate Coffee is a cool, comfortable spot to set up camp for an hour, enjoy a well made pour over, and take in the eccentric surroundings. I would definitely swing back by for the coffee alone.“

“Excellent place to dine. Food was very good. Restaurant was very cozy. Server, Lauranne, is terrific.“

“First time trying this place today, love it! Will be back often!“

“We have gone here every weekend ever since we found out about this place! I wish they opened earlier than 11 am :( - Their coffee (specifically lattes) are out of this world. Before, LaVazza had my favorite lattes, but now CB does! Not only that, but $4-5 for an amazing good sized-coffee? I have probably had 15 by now and I have never had a bad one. I've tried most of their specialty candy bar lattes but the Jack Frost is my favorite - Service is outstanding. I've been served by multiple employees and so far they've all been extremely nice and helpful. Both dine-in and take-out. They are also very fast - Food is also extremely good, but, in my opinion a bit too expensive for what it is. However, the size is decent and it tastes very high quality. 15% lower price would be better. The chicken parm sandwich and caesar salad are my favorites and one of the best I've ever had (longhorn beats their caesar). Food has not disappointed so far - Environment is also nice. Clean area, clean bathrooms, and bonus that it's not always jam packed so it's quite peaceful Food I have tried and enjoyed: quesadilla, grilled chicken nachos, fries, caesar salad, classic pizzette, cheeseburger, sicily stuffed chicken wrap, chicken brushette wrap, chicken broccoli cheddar wrap, chicken cordon bleu wrap. Their chicken is also fantastic“

“First time trying this place today, love it! Will be back often!“

“We were invited to the friends and family breakfast the day before opening. We were all absolutely floored by this place and have already made a new tradition to come every sunday! The wait staff and INCREDIBLE, they are so sweet and so speedy! They were so considerate, turned the fire place off for us, and talked with our kids. The restaurant is clean, calm, almost beachy feeling. The most important...the food was absolutely amazing AND at an incredible price. The portions are large and VERY affordable, while looking and tasting like high end breakfast. This place makes you feel rich, and will thankfully not give your bank account the bill.“

“We decided to sit In and have Frapochinos instead of drive thru“

“Always a great experience at 7 Brew! The drinks are consistently delicious, the service is fast, and the staff is super friendly and welcoming. They always make the drive-thru experience feel upbeat and personal, even when they’re busy. Definitely one of my favorite spots to grab a coffee or energy drink. Highly recommend!“

“The food was very good and service always excellent.

I have come here, many times and have never been disappointed. It's probably the best place to get donuts in the area, and the bagels are much better then I am used to.“

“The BEST yougurt in the Toms River/Seaside Area!!!!!!!!!!!!! Don’t miss it!!!!“

“I’ve lived in Howell for a while, first time there, nice Kosher coffee house! I had an Ethiopian coffee coffee and a cinnamon bun... very tasty. Very pleasant and relaxed atmosphere, friendly staff, pleasant guests. My wife and I will be back!“

“I love this place so much, it’s within walking distance from me so i come often, everything i’ve tried from the menu tastes amazing, and the workers are super nice too! i totally recommend this drink in the photo it’s super delicious, it’s the strawberry dragonfruit refresher with oat milk and cold foam!“

“For how insanely busy this location is they are very quick! Honestly expected a 15-20 minute wait and waited maybe 4 minutes. Everything was made well and correct. Inside was very busy and most chairs were taken but still quiet and clean inside. Also happy this location has the Valentine's day strawberry drinks as most locations seem to not carry it.“

“The cleanest and healthiest food you can get in New Jersey. The Howell location is the one I’m reviewing here. I get the Tuna avacado sandwich and also the accai bowl with pineapple and almond butter. Always good. Very consistent. Salads are also good. A+++ The owner is always there making the juices seems to be very attentive to the customers and always looking to make everybody happy.“

“Leaving Six Flags and before we hit the highways, stopped in for coffee and few other items. And all Starbucks are not the same. The Starbucks had an open, airy and spacious design. So not only will the coffee pick you up but so will this space. The staff was kind, fast and efficient from the time you placed your order and the coffee arrived. Give this place try, drive thru also available. $$$“

“Excellent staff, location is always clean and always fast service. Highly Recommended!!!“

“This is my home Starbucks ☕️♥️
To say the staff feels like family is no stretch. Warm, patient, and personable.. I come in for the conversation and usually leave with a coffee! Only love, keep up the hard work!
I see you 🦄🌈“

“For my Birthday a Free Large Coffee because I have a Duncan Donuts Perks Card..Got a Large Frozen Caramel Late worth $4.99...Was delicious..Thank You DD...“

“Great Service! Staff are friendly Fast Service“

“Joseph & David Juice For Life — aka the place where I go to repair all the nutrition damage I did everywhere else in Lakewood.

You ever walk into a place and immediately feel like the Shechinah of Health is resting on you? That’s Joseph & David. I come in feeling like a schmendrik who just inhaled half a bakery box… and I leave feeling like I’m ready to run a half-marathon. Or at least walk briskly to my car.

Their juices are legit. Fresh, crisp, actual fruits and vegetables involved — not the “flavored syrup pretending to be a fruit” situation you get elsewhere. You take one sip and suddenly you’re like, “Wow, maybe kale is my calling.”

And the bowls? Hit. The. Spot.
Perfect balance of sweet, crunchy, and “I’m doing something good for myself even though I ordered extra toppings because life is hard.”

The store is clean, the staff is friendly, and the energy is very “We want you to feel good about your choices.” No pressure, no judgment, just wholesome vibes and good food.

I also appreciate that everything comes out fast — no standing around questioning if you should’ve ordered something different. You get what you ordered, it tastes amazing, and you walk out feeling like a responsible adult for once.

Bottom line:
If you need a healthy recharge, a fresh smoothie that actually tastes like fruit, or just a place to pretend you’ve become a nutrition influencer — Joseph & David is the spot.

Highly recommend — five stars, plus one for the spiritual cleanse.“

“Been coming here for years. All around service is impeccable and food is tasty. A solid choice for breakfast and lunch. Try it out“

“Went there today for first time in awhile. As the Dunkin Donuts in Pine Beach has been making errors in my orders ... I was happy with my hot Vanilla chia ... it was how I orderd it. But the lines where long and slow... But I will drive there again ...Because Pine Beach as of late can t get their orders correct..“

“Great coffee The Boston cream donut is the best. I am a little disappointed that sone of the sandwiches, like the Grilled Cheese, were discontinued.“

“Very convenient walk from work and usually very nice employees. However, as of recent, the mother of a closing employee has been heckling customers and she has been heard telling her son to close the doors 10-20 minutes early. I can't say anything as to the professionalism of the boy but his mother isn't on the payroll, nor is she affiliated with Dunkin. Having her and his family parked out in the parking lot harassing people and dictating closing hours is just not the best look and should be addressed. The business lost from the early close may be minimal but that should be dictated by the store owner/manager.“

“Ryan the server keeps talking while serving us . Gave me a warm decaf coffee with sugar. I went back to get a small hot coffee, told him he gave me sweet warm coffee. He replied I DID NOT MAKE YOUR COFFEE, I WILL NOT ARGUE WITH YOU! It’s January 10th 2023 4:30pm here in Route 37 Always a lovely time having coffee with seniors. People working are nice. The only thing we don’t want to see is the DIRTY BATHROOM, the toilet bowl is yellowing . There is a yellow disgusting line that you see once you enter. It’s annoying to see that every place of perfect but the toilet bowl needs CLEANING! We come three off for times a week so please have it clean! We are seniors living to have Coffee always seated in the round table!“
