36 Best Cafes near Matawan

“The sushi and fried rice were so good. The soup was so hot. The food tasted savory and fresh. Quick, mindful service.“

“My family and I are obsessed with this place! All of the young workers are so kind and courteous. They are constantly cleaning up the yogurt machines and the topping stations and it looks super nice.
There's a wide variety of toppings and they're not basic either! My favorite is the sauce/ wet topping station. It's got everything from hot fudge to marshmallow drizzle and reese's peanut butter sauce!
I honestly can say I enjoy coming here more than getting an ice cream from an ice cream place. I'd highly recommend it for the topping selection and lots of variety.
Shoutout to the workers and owner for their great business! Also, the fish aquarium is so pretty and they're always playing something fun on TV for my kids to watch. 10/10!“

“I recently discovered Good Vibes Cafe in Fords, NJ, and it has quickly become our go-to spot. John and Angelica, the owners, create an atmosphere that is not only friendly but genuinely welcoming. Every visit feels like a warm, positive experience. My son and I have spent countless enjoyable hours at the cafe, often hanging out with their wonderful daughter Jade. The teas and shakes are a delight, offering a refreshing and diverse selection. The ambiance is just perfect for relaxing and unwinding. And let's talk about the donuts – they are out of this world! The flavors are unique, and the freshness is unbeatable. Each bite feels like a little piece of heaven. Good Vibes Cafe is more than just a place to grab a drink or snack; it's an experience filled with warmth, great company, and, of course, fantastic treats. If you're in Fords, NJ, do yourself a favor and soak in the good vibes at this exceptional cafe.“

“Brewed Awakening is the perfect spot for breakfast, brunch, or lunch. The food is consistently delicious, and some of my favorites include the BLT Sandwich (always made to perfection), the omelettes, and their Apple Caramel Butter Latte—a delightful seasonal treat. I first discovered the latte through a social media post a few weeks ago, and now Brewed Awakening has become my go-to spot every Sunday for a relaxing meal. The service is always warm and welcoming. Annie, the owner, often makes an appearance on the floor, either serving or checking in with guests to ensure they’re enjoying their visit. Her kindness and genuine hospitality make the experience even more special. I highly recommend stopping by Brewed Awakening for a delicious meal and a cozy, inviting atmosphere. You won’t be disappointed!“

“great sandwich selection. delicious and fast service.“

“Darren the team manager is such a friendly and accommodating person! Goes above and beyond. Unfortunately there are no lemon slices anymore at all Panera's, not specifically this one, which is just such a tragic loss. But overall, this Panera is great!“

“Don’t have a Panera where I live in Brooklyn but when I visit New Jersey I always go there for a quick bite!!❤️“

“Went there for take out lunch Staff was phenomenal!“

“I don’t know the employees name, but occasionally I run in with a last minute craving on my way to work @8:30pm. I know it’s towards the end of the night, but she is still always so pleasant and my food always made perfect and quickly. Tonight’s turkey sandwich was no exception. Too many times people just complain or take good service for granted, and I’d love to see see them get the recognition deserved. Some of us do appreciate it, especially when we’re running to work. Thank you! 🙂“

“Exelente para picar algo sabroso con anbiente y traguilo y e personal mui amable“

“1st time ordering from here. We tried the Cobb Salad to go. Owner ran out of Blue Cheese but asked if we wanted an alternate cheese. Was still delicious! Very fresh and tasty! Portion size was good. Owner was also very friendly. Even though Keansburg is desolate due to the season, this restaurant is still open and it's worth the trip to either eat in or order out from here. I recommend giving them a try if you haven't already.“

“Quality of the meat could’ve been a better restaurant choice as I believe I have the same sausage at home. Overall, came for the vibe on a really rainy day while I waited for my appointment time. I was still please with my sandwich and coffee but want to give it another try. Love this cafe!“

“Great atmosphere, friendly employees. Tried the avocado toast, they sprinkle crushed red pepper on the avocado and it gives it great flavor.“

“Great customer service and delicious food“

“This location is just so delightful. If any error is made they truly care and always go the extra mile to satisfy customers. There’s a manager by the name Sam ( with glasses) and she truly truly embodies the definition of a good hearted soul. I hope she becomes successful and runs her own buisness alongside a franchise of Panera.“

“Very good atmosphere with live music“

“Excelente atención , rica comida y ensaladas variadas.“

“The most delicious food you can eat with a very good atmosphere, reasonable prices and a friendly staff specially the owner is so helpful if you want to make an event don’t hesitate to make it there , I’ve made my sister’s birthday there and we were so satisfied with this decision TOTALLY RECOMMEND!!!Thank you La Rosetta and to all the staff there♥️“

“I have been going to gems since they first opened in Keansburg! They have good food and I understand with food cost they had to raise prices. I wish they would put a little bit more on breakfast sandwiches for what they charge. Other than that they still taste great and the employees are always friendly!“

“Love this little place. Great food! Very flavorful. I've had several dishes. Their Pollo colombiano is delish! The Pargo whole fish is another great dish as well the steaks & sancocho. The empanadas & pan de bono are one of my favorite. The servers are very friendly. A nice informal spot. Live music on Sat.“
