My husband and I love this place!! We worked with the owner Sam to cater coffee and speciality drinks for our wedding in 2022. She went above and beyond for us. I only have nice things to say about California Coffee Co. Amazing coffee, drinks, candles, etc! My favorite drink is the Pumpkin La Jolla and my husband loves the Lavender Lemonade. 1000000/10 for this place!

Had a Kona house blend drip coffee. The coffee was very good. I wish they had another choice such as a single origin coffee . They have a nice selection of beans for sale. A specialty coffee house should have more choices than just a house blend .

Cute and welcoming atmosphere. Great variety of items. My one recommendation is to please keep the straws wrapped! So many people touch all of them unintentionally. Even though the store is clean, there are many particles in the air!

Use to be one of my top cold brew spots. I drink my coffee black and have had great experiences here. Once they started opening new location the Manalapan cold brew and seasonal cold coffees went down hill and became extremely watered down.

Love this cute woman owned coffee shop in Englishtown! Tastes better than Starbucks with the added benefit of supporting a local shop.The Newport is my go to with oatmilk and sweet cold foam and they never miss. I’m a slow coffee drinker and my drink tastes good even after an hour with the regular ice cubes. It doesn’t taste watered down.I mostly do a mobile order as I leave my house and my coffee is always ready for me when I arrive. I love that I don’t have to wait especially when they get so busy.

Been here before for coffee which is good. They messed up my order and I didn't realize till after a few sips. I alerted them to that and refused to make another or make it right because I had already drank a good amount. Starbucks would not refuse. Pastries are mediocre at best. Make sure u know what is in every drink u order. A bit pricey and parking lot has a lot to be desired. Very tight spots hard to get in and out.

baked goods are mediocre at best and ridiculously overpriced, plain cold brew is fine but nothing special, and the atmosphere here seems to exude a style over substance ethos where the actual quality of the food is second to the the stores perception as an ‘experience.’ Slideshows of professional photos of their products flash across the screen as I sit here, dumbfounded that I just paid $16 for a websters dictionary ‘mid’ breakfast.

Popped in on a whim and will definitely be back. Great ambiance, and friendly service that adjusted my order to make it less sweet (Monterey Bay with coconut milk SUPER tasty). Low tables and couches if you want to sit and chat. High tops that I converted into a perfect standing desk with my Moft sit-stand for some quick work on the free Wi-Fi. Several others doing work, a retired couple out for late breakfast, some older gents hanging out, a few ladies out for some girl time. A little something for everyone, even a bear shaped couch outside and tables for the warmer weather. Wish I didn't live so far away, I'd come here over Rook any day! Cute knickknacks for sale and wonderful Christmas decorations, mixing Cali charm with the Jersey cold! I was in a rush for work and forgot to tip the excellent service, so I'm writing this honest and positive review instead.Vegetarian options: I don't think there's a single non-vegetarian option. Several vegan options, but some with butter and cheese.Dietary restrictions: Plenty of vegan and vegetarian options, milk alternatives, and an accommodating staff.Parking: Big parking lot for the strip mall with legacy tenants Musicians Workshop that's been there for the 25 years we've been in the area, so probably a good landlord.Kid-friendliness: Kids will enjoy it for sure.Wheelchair accessibility: No stairs or restrictions for access.Vegetarian options: I don't think there's a single non-vegetarian option.

They have some very expensive inventory, so probably a good landlord, and mostly luxury vehicles in the lot, so it's definitely safe.Kid-friendliness: Kids will enjoy it for sure. Lots of fun decorations, textures, lighting. Wi-Fi for YouTube, couches, etc.Wheelchair accessibility: No stairs or restrictions for access.

I LOVE how unique their coffee flavors are! Everything from their regular menu to their seasonal! Even their bakery items are just as delicious as the lattes. I even love how they offer the "coffee cubes" instead of regular ice cubes that way your coffee doesn't get ruined! Love this place!

I was always a Dunkin Donuts or Starbucks guy when it came to coffee but after I moved 6 months ago I found this gem. California Cold Co has been my go to coffee spot now! Their Kona cold brew with the coffee ice cubes (brilliant idea btw!) is absolutely amazing! The shop itself is very nice, clean and has a cool coffee shop vibe. The baristas are all fantastic as well, especially the manager! Very friendly and most importantly, they make my drink perfectly with all of my little quirks.
