Coffee Shops near Monmouth Junction

“My favorite Dunkin in the area. Granted, no Dunkin is ever perfect. Part of the issue with Dunkin Donuts in general is that no location is ever consistent. Each Dunkin kinda does whatever it wants. This one tends to be the most accommodating and accurate each time. Each time I've gone, they always get my order right. However, depending on the day, some of my food is slightly burnt or my coffee had too much cream but it's just slight. The reason why it's not 5 stars is that it's pricey and there's still a lack of consistency.“

“Staff if friendly and courteous. Food is fresh. Family has been coming here for over a decade. One of our favorite Dunkin's.Parking: Plenty of parkingWheelchair accessibility: Handicap spot right up front. Curb bends down for easy wheelchair access.“

“All was good . Only complaints are sauces for chicken nuggets . If I get a 4 piece I get 1 sauce . So if I get 20 piece nuggets I should get 5 sauces they limit you at 3, that makes no sense . Plus they only put two in my bag. WTH??? Disappointed ?AlsoFries were small. I think all fries should be cut around same size so not so many small pieces .Double quarter pounder deluxe was very tasty“

“Oh man, this neighborhood really needed a cute little coffee shop! I went here with a couple of friends and we were immediately greeted by the exuberant owner. I wasn’t expecting much (because admittedly I’m a coffee snob) but I was blown away! The coffee was delicious! And the place was so much cuter than expected. I’ll be back for more delicious hot beverages!“

“really pretty small cafe that serves asian style desserts and drinks! i like how their desserts aren't overly sweet and price is really affordable. definitely recommend black sesame soft serve and boba creme puff. their coffees are super tasty as well. also this is a great study spot if u want somewhere more on the quiet side ; bathrooms are very clean and staff super friendly!“

“Today, I wanted a bagel. Where to go? With so many bagel stores around Monroe Township, I decided James Brew in Jamesburg. Because their coffee is so good, as I was passing by, I stopped in there. The coffee is of the best quality & the pastry always fresh, my decision was easy. As usual, the coffee was delicious along with my everything bagel, toasted, with cream cheese. I’d hit the spot!! Thank you James Brew Cafe.“

“Just had the BELT sandwich and had to write this review. The food here is so so good. Drinks here are very good, too. I also love how spacious it is (it's hard to find spacious coffee shops) and the decor is very well done. Only downside is they don't have many outlets if you want to plug your computer in. Overall, great place.“

“Great little spot. The combination of the hot tea, lofi beats, and the rain outside led to quite the atmosphere and vibe. I tasted the chai as well, and it had a very authentic and hearty flavor, it was quality. The roll up omelette was super tasty, great flavor combo. Cookie to finish it up was a great lightly sweet snack to finish it off. Definitely will be coming back here.“

“Great coffee drinks and wonderful pastry. Try the Sfogliatelle! ? The only problem is the lack of indoor seating in the winter. In the spring and summer, they have very nice outdoor seating, but in December and January, it's just too cold for me to sit outside.“

“This is my goto coffee place. The in-house roasted coffee offers a rich, unique flavor. Isa's exceptional service adds a personal touch, making it a favourite spot for coffee lovers. Grover’s Mill is unique and arguably one of the best coffee place in NJ.“

“Tiny location, packs a pearl.... comedy. ?I love their Thai Tea Boba and their waffles are amazing ?? whether you like croffles or their house made (?) batter. All smoothies I've had have been delicious as well as their Dolgona(hope I'm spelling that right) coffee boba! SUPPORT THIS BUSINESS??tons of parking btw!“

“The confidence and care in their small business shows when you're a first timer in the coffee shop. They ask the right questions when it comes to the coffee or tea you're looking for. Very delicious and inviting coffee. It's seasonal coffee beans are always changing so make sure you're ready for a great new experience of coffee I miss the Ecuadorian papaya coffee they had. So good after it cooled down a bit“

“Had gone for breakfast with friends. Great variety of crossiants. Loved the jelepeno crossiant.coffee was good. Had to wait for long to get the coffee. The lady at the counter forgot to give us our coffee and was reminded again to make our coffee. Excellent cakes.“

“Love this place! Had their London Fog Latte with almond milk and it was delicious. The lemon tart was yummy too (and the ? was such a cute touch), and chocolate chip cookies fresh from the oven. Great place to meet friends or take a break. Highly recommend!“

“We were staying nearby at the Heldrich Hotel and were looking for a place to have breakfast where there might be some gluten free options. SOL-KALANIT’S was the perfect solution. My wife had tacos (corn, not flour) both mornings we ate there and said they were the best tacos she had eaten since she moved back east from Arizona. I had an omelet both mornings and both were excellent. The dine-in area is small and it can get a bit noisy. But everyone who works there is warm, friendly, and lot’s of fun. The food is a mix of Mexican, Native American, and Mediterranean. If this place were closer to home, we would be regular customers. Give it a try, you won’t be disappointed.“

“I love a good local pho spot, but I am especially in love with their $10 Wednesday deal. I always build my own pho and do the brisket and rare steak. The tendons are either a hit or miss because I don’t like the big hard chunks. I usually drink the broth but today’s broth tasted more salty than usual. Portions are adequately sized, and I often have to get to go containers for my soup and noodles. If you pay in cash, you get an extra 5% off!“

“Beautiful pastry and coffee shop on the side street. Not far from the main attractions, but the store wasn't as busy. Was able to enjoy a delicious cup of Rose Latte and carrot cake. The latte and cake were amazing, delicious, and perfect. Great place to end your night. The service was excellent, and the atmosphere was so cozy and warm. I will definitely be back to try some other delicious drinks and pastries/ deserts.“

“I got a vanilla latte and loved it. This is my new favorite coffee place in the area. Latte was smooth and not at all bitter. They have some baked goods that I'll have to try next time. Guy working here made a design on top which was a nice touch. I definitely recommend coming here and everything seemed well priced.“

“Good burgers, so delicious, I ordered Korean Burger and Avocado Bacon burger. The Beef was so tender and taste of the sauce so good. I also ordered chocolate milk shakes with marshmallow on it. The place is clean, good service, helpful staffs. Oh and the restroom is very clean. I will come again“

“I came early on a Tuesday morning and found street parking right in front of the coffeeshop. I went in and asked the staff for a pour over that wasn't very acidic and he gave his recommendation. The coffee was very good! I also tried a tiramisu gulab jamun donut. It was sweet, but not over the top. I loved it. The coffee shop itself was very clean and had a very relaxing feel. I would love to visit again.“

“We really like the turning point. Their menu is unique with different meals you do not see in other restaurants. The food is always good, the service is always excellent and wait staff is completely pleasant and helpful. I like that I can substitute potatoes with fresh greens and their fantastic dressing.Dietary restrictions: Because I’m a diabetic, I look for meals that do not spike my sugar. I can usually find a great meal here that is not full of carbs.“

“Love coming to this location because it has sandwiches vs just pastries and snacks at the Witherspoon location. The people are friendly and the vanilla latte is my go to. All the breakfast sandwiches were delicious. I’ve had the jersey driver, pile driver, ranchero burrito. The only downsides are that they don’t have any plates, so eating can get a little messy and there are only a few tables“

“What a great restaurant! We found it by chance and it’s like a little jewelry box filled with good authentic atmosphere, delicious food and amazing music. Señora Alma, the owner treated us as the family, the tacos were tasty. They also have some Oaxaca souvenirs and pottery for sale, the ambience is welcoming and warm.I will definitely be back for more. And did I mention they have parking lot next door for their customers.“

“I stopped by and got a cappuccinoThe service was quick, and the staff was friendlyThe café was pretty busy and crowded, and it had an alright vibeWhile the cappuccino was really good and smooth, it isn’t a café I would go out of my way forParking: Street parking is pretty hard to find, but payment is easy through the pay station and the mobile app“

“Love this place. Best coffee and traditional Jersey breakfast sandwich in the area. We always stop here on our way up to North Jersey. Don’t expect fancy, just expect very solid bacon, egg, and cheese on a roll (I ask them to grill the roll) with hot sauce. Coffee is excellent.“

“Not usually in this area but I’ll be coming here when I am. the cafe is very open, sunny, the perfect atmosphere with many charging stations at every seat perfect for students. The food was absolutely delicious and the barista was so sweet and even gave us complimentary chocolate. Will definitely be coming back.“

“I bought a cake for my co-workers birthday and was blown away by the design and the cake. Everyone went nuts over the cake and there wasn't a slice left. The baker is such a nice man who has passion for the food. I will only buy my cakes from her moving forward!“

“Sakrid is operating out of a different location during renovations, but it was still easy to get to and had plenty of convenient parking. The short detour was well worth it! Our group went on a very warm October day so we got cold brew, iced lattes with regular milk and iced lattes with oat milk. Some took it with nothing added and a few got vanilla or maple syrup. Everything was top quality and the espresso drinks really impressed the coffee geeks (myself included). They use a medium roast for their espresso. It was really well dialed in and came out balanced, rich with well rounded flavor that held up to both types of milk. I will definitely go back again the next time I am in the area!“

“The "side car" was a top notch experience- one small espresso and one cappuccino side-by-side on a board. I love the little bench seat by the window. The baristas care a lot about their craft. The music was nice. Got some beans, too. Definitely best coffee place I visited at Princeton.“

“I am in love with the design and idea of this cafe. They have one of the best working environments you could ask for along with one of the greatest cafes. They have a wide selection of coffees from espressos pulled from the one of a kind la marzocco machine, many varieties of drip coffee, and pour overs. They also have a wide variety of snacks available: all the best pastries imaginable to go with your coffee and even an acai bowl bar and amazing oatmeal bowls for those who haven't had a chance to have their breakfast yet =) My personal favorite is their spicy maya mocha. And theres an amazing barista there by the name of Karen, say hi if you see her ?Parking: Amazing parking availability, utilizes the many available free parking spots around the cafe and apartment complex area.“

“Eminato is a beautiful cafe with a variety of drinks to choose from. Food: my brother and I both got small cappuccinos and really enjoyed them! The espresso was smooth and delicious. The milk was perfectly steamed and the art was such a nice touch. They use high quality beans from Rojo's roasters and it's very evident in the flavor. Ambiance: the cafe has come a long way from when it opened. There is now ample seating inside to do work, or just hangout. The ambiance is very warm and comfy with blue walls and beautiful accents throughout. Service: we chatted with the owner for several minutes. He was extremely nice and told us more about the different types of coffee that they have. Such a wonderful experience. This cafe is a great gem in Hillsborough!“

“Good neighborhood coffee spot. I had a latte which was smooth and strong. I also had a muffin that was pretty good but the coffee was the highlight. The person working was friendly and brought our drinks and food to the table. The cafe was clean and had cool window decorations for the holidays.“

“Great food. I asked one of the staff about whether the coffee bun tastes like coffee, and she said it doesI asked if she tried it, and going by her confirmation, I bought it.Well, it doesn't taste like coffee at all! But it was a fantastic bun, soft as a cloud and light as air. I enjoyed it.Note to the staff: please don't feel the need to misrepresent! You can say I have no idea!“

“I arrived around 4:15 on a rainy Saturday. The place was busy but there was no wait. The service was excellent. Food came out at a great pace. I'm ordered chicken chasri karhai, Aloo Parathas, and masala chai. Everything was excellent and reasonably priced. I would definitely recommend eating here.“

“One of the nicest, more spacious Starbucks I’ve been to. The girl, Juliette, that took my order was super friendly and knowledgeable of the drinks.Wheelchair accessibility: No stairs and spacious sitting area that anyone in a wheel chair can easily sit at.“

“The Princeton location is my favorite local place for a cappuccino and dessert. Very few places make a European quality cappuccino as Chez Alice does. Service is friendly, prices are reasonable and the Ambience is definitely very French and lovely. When weather permits, I generally will sit outside at the café tables under the awning. Bonus, the cafe is dog, friendly!“

“I've been a loyal customer of Paris Baguette for years! I love window shopping all the beautiful pastries and bringing home some tasty treats. Everything is fresh and tastes just as good as it looks! A little pricey, but better than any other pastries in the area. Breakfast sandwiches are also great with a yummy iced latte on the side!“

“Absolute hidden gem awkwardly located at the back of a corporate plaza building! The food is fantastic and the inside is comfortable and bright. We were able to talk to the owner and she was super friendly and fun! I'll be making this a regular food stop- highly recommend!! (I recommend going on Tuesday and getting the Vampire tacos made with pernil)“

“As someone who prefers tea over coffee, I fell in love with this place. The manager and servers are attentive, kind and generous. A special shoutout to Kai and Chen who a huge part of the reason I always find myself back here!If you're someone who WFH this is the perfect spot. There are only a handful of patrons weekdays from 11-5pm. Weekends are crowded, but honestly I'm happy business their is booming. I'm still generally seated immediately.I have cafes closer to me, but I'm always willing to make the trek for the cozy environment, fantastic menu + One of my best friends had her Bridal Proposal here! So it holds some great memories.My go-to orders:(Iced) Potted Peach Green Tea at 80% sugar(Hot) Earl Grey Milk Tea at 50% sugar(Hot) Toffee Milk Tea at 30% sugarBrown Sugar Boba Crepe Cake!Katsu Chicken SandwichDietary restrictions: Milk Alternatives are offered for a reasonable charge!“

“one of the best places around new brunswick. not sure why it's 3 stars they have great customer service the chorizo, shrimp, and queso are beyond amazing this place is very good. MUST go to but don't go on a friday night as it will be packed with college kids.“

“One of my go-to spots for boba! I've tried a variety of their milk and fruit teas, and they all hit. My go-to at the moment is My Ex w/ 50% sugar and white pearls. I also like the Mango Pomelo drink. Street parking is very convenient, as well.“

“Had the orea matcha tea new recipe and also the passion fruit green tea!!!!Amazing not too sweet ask to control the sugar. Less sugar always .I can't wait for them to release the Oreo matcha. Soooooooo good. The Oreo and matcha combination isn't something I would have naturally though about but it's insanely good. Will come backThank you to the owner for letting us try and also for serving us. I want to mention that we were walking in 1 minute before closing, most other stores would have turned us away and told us they're closed but the workers here very kind and served us two incredibly crafted drinks. Thanks guys you are the best.“

“The staff are very friendly and the atmosphere is really cute. We ordered all chocolate chip cookie, a matcha cookie, and a brownie. They were all pretty good, although we wish they could've been warm. But when eaten with some milk, it's the perfect pairing!“

“I really enjoyed the uniqness of this tea place! One of my favorite aspects was the almond jelly! It was so unique and the texture was fun!I got a mango tea which was uncaffeinated and my favorite aspect was the addition of pulp to the drink! It made it have better texture and didn't just feel like a flavor pump like other places do!I would definitely come back for more!The staff were really quick and efficient as well!“

“On a short road trip home back to nyc, I was craving some bbt and we found this spot on google. First time trying out their mango drink and I was addicted!! Finished that so quick, had to hold myself back from getting seconds although I’m low key thinking I should’ve just done it… summers over anyways lol. The workers are were also really nice to me and my friends as we were a bit indecisive in what we wanted at first“

“Masala Chai is actually the chai Indians make at home, not the pseudo versions you have at cafes. They make the chai right in front of you in a chai pan ?Bombay sandwich and Avocado toast are a must to try.I visit New Brunswick for meetings, and this place a much drop in for breakfast and chai.“

“There was surprisingly a line out the door on a chilly spring Sunday afternoon. They had a pretty good selection of flavors but I did notice that some of them had run out by the time we came. I got a scoop of coffee ice cream and my boyfriend got a scoop of chocolate ice cream with chocolate sprinkles. The scoops were decent sizes, but for the price I think that they were smaller than I would have liked. However, the ice cream met my expectations and was nicely creamy. Personally I think that The Bent Spoon is better but Halo Pub is still a solid Princeton ice cream spot!“

“Always love me some bubble tea! I came here with a friend after we had brunch and I ordered the passion fruit green tea punch with bubbles. So delicious every single time. We didn't wait long since it was not busy. They had seat so we were able to enjoy our bubble tea and catch up.“

“Came here on a Saturday morning as a group of 6 and was able to be seated after a 10 minute wait. We waited several minutes to get water to our table, which already had oversized menus there. The menu was extensive with plenty of options. FOOD: we ordered the following: Bronx omelette with mashed brown potatoes.. really good, sausage was sliced in the onelette with pepper and onions. Brooklyn omelette with pastrami.. so good and feeling Caramel apple French toast- the topping was good but the French toast wasn't infused with any additional flavoring Coconut Banana waffles - flavor was really delicious, waffles was light and fluffy, however the banana and coconut weighed the waffle down and made it mushy after a while Chicken and waffles - chicken were chicken traders and not actually chicken pieces as we were expecting. It came with a little bottle of maple syrup. For extra bottle, it would be $3.00. Tenders were a but over-fried. California omelette was good and very filling. Cappuccino- was not tasting like Cappuccino and was returned for regular coffee Caramel brulee latte- was absolutely divine Ambiance- cute spot with pastries in the front section and seating towards a back. There's a upstairs but don't know if there is seating there as well. Service was okay. A lil slow at time but very attentive. Food was in abundance. Their portion sizes are generous“
