50 Best Coffee Shops near Livingston

“Best pour over ever!!☕️☕️☕️🙂“

“Best DD in the area, donuts are always fresh and lots of selection.“

“You know, when this place first opened, it wasn't all that great – from customer service to getting the orders right and having enough bakery stuff in stock, it was a bit of a mess. But things have really turned around, and I can tell 'cause I'm a regular here. I'm glad they switched up their team. Nowadays, everyone's super friendly, and they've got their act together. Orders come out right, and they've got plenty of goodies on hand, so they don't run out too quick.

But the best part? I gotta give a big shoutout to one of their crew members. Like I said, I'm a regular, and a few months back, I was having a seriously rough week. I hit the drive-thru for some coffee to lift my spirits, and the barista taking my order noticed I wasn't my usual self. He asked how I was doing, and for some reason, that question hit me hard, and I just started bawling my eyes out. It was kinda embarrassing 'cause it came outta nowhere, and I was feeling super overwhelmed that day – didn't even have the energy to hide it. But this guy, Waleeb, he was a champ. He was so polite, friendly, and just real, you know? He dashed off and got me a cake pop, jotted down a sweet note on the bag, and his kindness and understanding completely turned my day around from a downer to a upper. I'll never forget that. And now, every time I swing by and Waleeb's on shift, he brings this awesome, positive vibe. It makes me feel all warm and welcome, and that's what customer service should be all about. Seriously, Waleeb deserves a raise for being such a star at customer service.“

“My iced lattes are good they make it just the way i like it“

“Ash and Akki were excellent people who showed lots of respect and were even nice enough to compliment my outfit. I would recommend these workers to manage the store they were so diligent and hard working. You know what, I would recommend them for president of the United States. Top tier excellent“

“The employees are some of the nicest people and so pleasant every time I go in. As a fellow retail worker, I very much appreciate how friendly and professional the staff is at this Dunkin. Thank you!!“

“Zanasia was very sweet“

“Best taylor ham egg & cheese in NJ!!!!!“

“Delicious 🤤 coffee ☕️ te excellent service“

“I simply LOVE this place. It not only has the best vegan sandwiches and desserts, the hospitality is amazing. Everyone is very friendly and welcoming. The only thing bad is that they are 45 minutes from me. I wish there was one closer to where I live. I would be going more often. I'm hoping one day they will become a franchise. I would definitely want to open a How Delish! ❤️“

“My wife and I stopped by without knowing much about it. What a great experience! The pasties, sweet and savory, are superb. We both had macha, which was expertly made. The space is clean and welcoming with great music playing and the staff was obviously proud of their work, attentive and patient. I highly recommend!“

“Lovely neighborhood cafe near the Walnut train station. Great service and great drinks. It’s awesome to find a place that really knows how to make a matcha latte. We also tried one of their pumpkin scones the other day— perfect taste and not too sweet!“

“Beautiful hidden gem! My latte was amazing and the atmosphere & vibe is out of this world! You’ve got to stop in today if you haven’t been yet! I got the salted honey latte with oat milk. It was such a treat & then I enjoyed it in the library lounge. I also scored a pair of beautiful earrings from their gift shop 💛⭐️🌙✨⚡️“

“Enjoyed the best coffee and pumpkin bread in this lovely coffee shop run by a fantastic staff!“

“If you’re in the Montville/Boonton area, you’ve got to check out Howards mediterranean Café and Bagels — absolutely top-notch! Not only is the food legit, but the owner Karim went above and beyond to support us during our soft opening at Montville Pickleball & Golf Club. Much love to him for the hookup“

“Great spot for coffee and the owners are super friendly.“

“Shoutout to Lightbulb Coffee Shop! Awesome Iced Coffee with oat milk and a Dirty Chai! We will be back!!“

“Fantastic drip coffee. Delicious cheddar scallion scone.

Close quarters that could be cozy or overbearing depending on time and mood: 3 tables (2 seats each), 2 loungers (tight space in the back), one bench by the entrance.

Definitely will be back for the coffee and pastries!“

“This is my favorite cafe!! Every barista is so cool, I love the atmosphere when I come to do work here, and the coffee is delicious. The consistency is the same no matter who makes my drink and I love that! The prices are totally reasonable and the selection is perfect. I love the seasonal beverage options. 10/10 love you, eagle rock cafe! ♡“

“We went here for coffee ☕️on a Sunday morning. The shop is nicely decorated, it has a rustic tone 🐮 to it. There's a high counter at the window, a long booth type seat against one wall with some tables, some cozy chairs scattered around, and a couple of free-standing tables. There was plenty of seating available when we arrived.
Like I said we ordered coffee. The food 🥐🍪🍰 displayed looked delicious but we didn't have anything, I was pleasantly surprised to see some gluten-free options 😋 It was also very nice that after we ordered and sat down when our coffee was ready they brought it to our table.
The coffee was decent. I give it one mug out of two.
The one thing I should point out if you're not from the area, parking is not always easy. There is street parking and public parking lots but they do fill up fast and most days you have to pay for parking. Be prepared to walk, pleasantly surprised if you get close parking and allow yourself time to walk there.“

“Best Gluten Free pizza you will find. Reminds Me of the days before I was diagnosed with Celiac, I will be back for more“

“Our server Jose was great. Food was delicious, fresh and substantial portions. Highly recommend. Since so popular be prepared to wait on the weekends but well worth it!

Parking: We were lucky enough to get a spot in front of the restaurant as someone was pulling out. There are parking spots throughout that section.“

“Great Mission Amazing Staff. Empowering the Community. Visit Clean Water Café and Support the cause.“

“This place has completely stolen my heart! The owners are the kindest people, and the staff is always so warm and welcoming. I stop in almost every day for my daily coffee and chocolate fix—and let me tell you, the cookies are out of this world. Everything is made in small batches with such care and quality. Plus, the space is so cozy and inviting. It’s seriously a hidden gem!“

“Delicious coffee, and the staff is lovely!“

“Just ran out of beans, so I made a quick trip to grab a couple fresh bags. The owner told me they now get deliveries every Tuesday—love that! Even better, the beans come from a local roaster, so they’re super fresh. I picked up an Ethiopian Yirgacheffe and another bag specifically for espresso. Just pulled a shot, and it came out amazing.“

“By far the best pastéis de nata I’ve ever had! Thanks for bringing us a little taste of Portugal. Can’t wait to try the bifanas🇵🇹🇵🇹“

“The Nordstrom Ebar at the Short Hills Mall is a great place to take a break from shopping! ☕️ The baristas are super friendly, and the coffee is always high quality. A perfect spot to grab a delicious latte and a quick treat before getting back to the retail therapy. 🛍️ Highly recommend! #Nordstrom #Ebar #ShortHillsMall #CoffeeBreak #BaristaLife #ShopandSip“

“Best ice cream shop in Essex County if not the entire state of NJ. You can taste the difference in quality, creaminess, ingredients, no artificial flavors. Small micro batches made with natural ingredients and real flavors. Great owner and staff. Very nice people who go above and beyond to help create a wonderful experience. Small space but the flavor is large. They are getting ready to launch their second storefront in Lyndhurst. Go check them out. You won’t be disappointed. Favorite flavors include: Strawberry Baklava Chocolate But all are incredibly good!“

“Beautiful atmosphere, good food, friendly customer service. Our visit on 3/1/25 was awesome. Our server (a nice young lady - I forgot her name :( ) was so kind and helpful. make your own bouquets & selfie studio was over the top. We've found "Our Place" for get togethers.“

“The atmosphere is chill and I really like the Airplane vibe. The Airline seats really give it a nice touch. Coffee was great! Also love that old style Airline ticker on the wall. Will be back.“

“Had a terrible experience today. They gave me the wrong sandwich. Tried to call them to send me a new one but all you get is a voicemail. Emailed them and even messaged them on Instagram and they never responded. So I was stuck at work all day without any food or any reimbursement“

“Great place, cozy home-like atmosphere. Delicious food and desserts. Wonderful selection of cards and gifts. Then there's the candy counter! lol Friendly staff to top it all off.!!“

“Wonderful peaceful atmosphere. Comfy seating with nooks to plug in and work. Locally authored books in the shelves. The chai has a perfect balance of herbs and spices and is not too sweet. Also had an amazing empanada and a freshly baked-on-premises cookie. Love the local focus of this cafe. Will come back again to try the fresh leaf teas and the other empanadas.“

“Personally I like there iced teas better than there coffees but I’m picky when it comes to coffee but there breakfast and treats are phenomenal so so good hands down must try the beignets“

“Ammmmmmazing! I’ve been a loyal customer from the beginning and they always hit the mark! Love seeing new stuff and always always always friendly faces with 5 star coffee!!“

“El menú es rico y variado , buena atención.😍🙏“

“Wonderful chill vibe, great teas, coffees, and pastries. Demetri and Saska have created a lovely refuge for food, conversation, Music and Art!“
