17 Best Coffee Shops in Newark

“dirty place....the chef uses his bare hands to prepare and cook meals then denied multiple customers for food requests like 8pm like 🤦‍♀️..... they never clean while cooking or preparing instead they wait to clean up at 8pm ....gross only meal I was able to eat was a kibob salad because there meat is disgusting 😑“

“For a few years, this has been my go to spot when I'm in the Ironbound. Cool vibe and ambiance. Hit or miss on portion sizes. A very notable change over the years. The bacon side is way too small (two skinny slices). The avocado toast has significantly decreased in size but at the same price point, and it's often more cream cheese than avocado most times. Yet, and somewhat reminds me of being back in Brooklyn. Good coffee.“

“We stopped by this café for a Saturday morning breakfast. The exterior was charming, which drew us in. Parking is street-only, so it can be tricky on busier days, but we lucked out.

I ordered a cortado—decent, nothing remarkable. I went with the avocado toast, which they’re apparently known for. It was as minimalist as it gets: a slice of ciabatta, olive oil, a generous amount of fresh avocado, salt, and pepper. No frills, but solid and satisfying. My friend had a multigrain croissant with sausage and egg—basic and hearty.

The café is mostly self-service, and while the vibe was relaxed, the service was quite slow. We even cleared our own table from the previous guests. It seemed a bit understaffed, but the food was fresh and filling. A cute local spot, though don’t expect speed or polish.“

“Eu curto de mais do pagode a comida e muito boa e esse programa de domingo aqui e muito bom“

“Such warm & friendly service promotes a great atmosphere 👍“

“The guy that works there is amazing, patient and nice! By far the only employee that actually make sure he’s getting the orders correct. He’s amazing!

The owner made my drink a month or so ago & gave me the wrong bubbles I asked for regular and she ended up giving me brown sugar and said can I come back the next day she will give me a free one lol long story short she wasn’t there the next day because I bring my daughter to this location and she was too lazy to fix my drink the day she messed it up. I get she was overwhelmed by working alone and having a lot of people ordering but she has to do better as an OWNER! I have a business myself and it’s a lot of things I do not do because you have to be professional.“

“Fast service and kindly stuff“

“We had a delicious food at this place today. I highly recommend it.
The chicken with vegetables was delicious
And the expresso coffee jus as expected.
Kenia was our server and she was formidable.
I’ll definitely be back to try all other lunch specials.“

“Finally, a place that knows what a cappuccino is!
After wasting over $15 trying to get a proper cappuccino somewhere else—where I literally had to explain to the staff how to make one—I found PJ’s Coffee, and it was a breath of fresh air.

No explanations, no drama. I ordered a cappuccino, and I got a real cappuccino: well-pulled espresso, milk at the right temperature, and a proper creamy foam on top. Just like it should be.

Places like Pão Da Terra should take notes. A cappuccino isn’t just hot milk with weird foam. Want to know what a real one looks like? I can send you a photo of this one.

Props to PJ’s Coffee for doing the basics right: quality, skill, and great service.“

“The fruit tarts and cakes are so pretty and well decorated! We got a lemon dessert cake thing (sorry I didn’t catch the name) it was… very rich, the icing was a bit too sweet and dense for me. The bread we got is like a sweet roll, I was anticipating something super light and fluffy like a Japanese bread, but it wasn’t. It tasted fine, but wasn’t what I was hoping for. The egg tarts and pastry tarts were all very good! They have different flavors such as orange, almond, plain and then egg tarts and fruit tarts. My favorite was the fruit tart.

Parking: Good luck finding parking! Most people just double parked in the area and just had the four ways lights blinking, it was a mad house! We went in the evening on a weekend, not sure about other days or times.“

“As for the food selection, the menu of this restaurant has a wide variety of food. Overall, I am very satisfied with my experience in this food restaurant. From the environment, dishes, service to prices, I was deeply impressed. I highly recommend everyone to patronize this restaurant“

“The Adeni Chai is an absolute dream! Recommended to me and was a super smooth drink, definitely recommend and would love to come back. Beautiful atmosphere and ambiance that's wonderful for a few hours of work or having a quick sit and chat.“

“I often stop by Method Cafe during my lunch break, and I can’t recommend it enough! My go-to is the Mozzarella Pesto Sandwich, which is simply perfect every time. The combination of fresh mozzarella and flavorful pesto hits the spot. Plus, the atmosphere is chill and cool, making it a great place to unwind. If you're looking for a delicious lunch in a relaxed setting, this is the place to be!“

“😃My daughter assessment was that "this is the best coffee ever!"“

“perfect pasteis. I got there as they came out of the oven, just the right burn, and creamy“

“Healthy food, healthy environment Taste great!“

“Nice place. Good location. Great Donuts and coffee can't complain. The employees here are very nice. It's a nice spot to get what breakfast or donuts and coffee you want. Coffee is always hot and fresh along with the donuts. Definitely will be back again. Stay safe. (Irish strong ?)“
