6 Best Coffee Shops in Lakewood

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

“Room to sit down and spacious, delicious food, they make the sandwiches right in front of you, so you can tell the Mexican to put on some more tuna or onions if you see that he didn’t put on enough for your likings, I can’t say the tuna is as good as bagel nosh’s tuna, but the tuna bagel that I got was still amazing!“

“Starbucks – Lakewood’s unofficial headquarters for people “working remotely” (aka sending two emails and then schmoozing for an hour)

If you’ve ever wondered what happens when you mix corporate Seattle coffee culture with the unique personality of Lakewood… this Starbucks is the answer. It’s the closest thing we have to an airport lounge without actually going to Newark.

THE VIBE:
Walk in and instantly feel like you should open a laptop, even if you don’t own one. Half the people here are on Zoom calls, the other half are pretending to be. The baristas have mastered the art of calling out names with total confidence — even when they’re clearly guessing at the spelling.

THE SERVICE:
Shockingly fast for Lakewood traffic. You order a drink and before you even finish saying “grande caramel—” they’re already handing you something warm and foamy that tastes like motivation and mild emotional recovery.

THE SEATING SITUATION:
Let’s just say… finding a table is like musical chairs but with higher caffeine levels. You see an empty seat, you sit. No hesitations. Blink and someone else will claim it with a jacket, laptop, or iced latte as their territory marker.

THE CROWD:
A wild assortment:
– stressed professionals holding three phones
– seminary girls doing homework that looks suspiciously like shopping
– local guys who came “just for a coffee” and are now in a deep philosophical conversation
– someone who plugs in 6 chargers and acts like it’s their living room

THE PERSONAL EXPERIENCE:
I came in for a simple iced coffee.
Left with:
– an iced coffee
– a new business idea
– overhearing the entire life story of the person next to me
– and a sudden desire to buy a reusable cup I definitely don’t need

BOTTOM LINE:
A solid Starbucks with strong coffee, strong WiFi, and an even stronger likelihood that you’ll run into someone you know. Whether you’re meeting a friend, closing a deal, or pretending to be productive, this place delivers exactly what you need — caffeine, comfort, and people-watching that deserves its own TV show.

Highly recommended. Just don’t expect outdoor seating… or indoor silence.“

“I got my app order always. 5 mins later o go drive thur. My app voice to order "hi, I'm deaf. My name is timmie... Always I ordered it. Then pull to pick up drive thur then I show to her. She said no no no sorry.... I said why? Try again to read my order by app dount dunkin always. She said oh okay then get food without pepsi. Few sec she forget give you pepsi.

Why not communicate by app pick up or drive thur always order and easy and no question or complain. Shame it“

“Not my favorite Dunkin' but the young man working, worked very hard. It seemed like he might have been the only one there!

I always order a Almond milk hot Latte with Carmel. Unfortunately the latte has no froth to it, which was disappointing. Tasted good though!“
