50 Best Coffee Shops near North Arlington

“Amazing food and service.“

“We live near Philadelphia and come to the area to visit with family. We will plan our trips around Lassoni’s schedule to make sure we can have their delicious food when we are in the area. We also tend to get a to-go order to take home because the food is that good. Highly recommend!“

“I only went once but I know someone who worked there , the customers are mainly daily customers and the workers know your order just by seeing your face, even if you aren’t a daily customer they still treat you with politeness and respect, you also get quick service you don’t have to wait more than 5 minutes for a coffee compared to other Dunkin’s I’ve been to“

“The food is excellent. Cozy place with friendly service. Live music with local musicians make for an enjoyable time with family and friends. Prices are good here. I highly recommend looking this place up and enjoying the food.“

“Delicious and so many varieties. Thanks for donations to N.J. Food and Clothing Rescue.“

“Place gets 4 stars because Enith. You get the other woman it's like she purposely messes your coffee up smh. It used to be a lot better.“

“What a wonderful experience at 787 Coffee! Diana is an absolute sweetheart, and the Coquito Latte is DELICIOUS! This is a top-notch neighborhood coffee shop. I will definitely be returning.

Kid-friendliness: When we walked in, an adorable little girl was out with her mom. Everyone was super friendly!“

“First time at this location, and from the minute I looked up from my phone and approached the counter, Miguel greeted me with the most welcoming smile and was quite handsome. He made conversation while making my coffee. I appreciated his genuine interaction. He’s a keeper as is your company!“

“Fantastic! Ricardo and the team day in and day out deliver on an exceptional product & experience“

“I absolutely loved my visit to Café 787 in New York! The moment I walked in, I felt such a warm and welcoming atmosphere. The coffee was one of the best I’ve had—rich, smooth, and full of flavor. I also tried the food, and it was absolutely delicious, fresh, and clearly made with love. What really stood out to me was the staff—they were so kind, attentive, and made me feel right at home.“

“got the babka and it hit perfectly after 10 miles into my long run. cute, laid-back space with solid coffee. small but cozy, and staff were super sweet. would return to try the sandwiches and more pastries. a nice break from the busier cafés nearby.“

“Amazing Fresh Onigari (rice balls) & delicious teas! (Cold, Hot, Bubble, No-Bubble) Support a local Mom & Pop shop & get fresh tasty food & drinks — win win win!!! (The line outside moves, one customer/group inside at a time due to COVID, & everything is made fresh to order — your patience will be rewarded!)“

“All good things— the service is amazing, staff is kind. Their croissants are great, flaky and not too sweet. I loved the cardamom latte (they also recommed the french toast latte which I did not have but looked enticing)

Very friendly staff, cute spot, underrated.“

“The rum infused espresso is to die for… Even as a coffee enthusiast this is not something I’d seen before but it definitely made for a cool experience and made it feel like more than just your typical cafe.

Never been to a coffee shop where the staff are so friendly, genuinely left a bit shocked after having been asked to have our photo taken for the instagram!

We had a couple of the chicken empanadas too and would highly recommend!“

“Cutesy little coffee shop bakery that I stumbled upon while in town. Small, quaint, quiet and cutesy. My gf and I ordered a slice of Banana Walnut Bread, Spearmint Hot Tea, Iced Passionfruit Black Tea and Kouign-amann. We were so impressed w the quality, taste and presentation of everything as everything was enjoyable and something we'd definitely purchase again.“

“Coffee Project in the East Village is a small, modern spot with a Euro-café vibe (bonus points for the no-laptop policy). Their medium-roast blend—Colombia meets Guatemala—hits a sweet spot: smooth milk-chocolate body with a caramel finish, zero bitterness, and plenty of flavor.

I ordered an almond croissant, and the staff offered to pop it in the oven. It came out crisp outside, soft and fragrant inside—no sogginess. They even let us enjoy a couple of pastries we’d picked up elsewhere at their outdoor table, all with genuine warmth.

Friendly people, thoughtful touches, and a medium roast I’d gladly order again. Perfect coffee-and-pastry stop in the neighborhood.“

“Love lt! Very excellent service ❤️“

“We heard great things about this place and they lived up to every one! We’re definitely returning.“

“We always have the best coffee and empanadas at KK's! The staff is immensely friendly and helpful. Highly recommend checking it out.“

“There were no alligators in sight, unfortunately, but the service was excellent. Emma and Lena (I think) were very welcoming. I was the first drip coffee order of the day (this was around 4pm), but they were still accommodating. Convenient location, a crisp air temperature, a carefully curated bookshop. Bread upon request. Also milk and/or cream upon request. And bathroom upon request. Good service, whether requested or not. Would recommend“

“LOVED IT! I love the vibe of the place- stepping into a different world with original flavors from another country with their rich heritage and organic beans. Cool place to take friends for a meetup. Highly recommend.“

“It was later that same day, between meetings and the steady hum of Midtown, when a friend and I slipped into St Kilda Coffee. A quiet refuge tucked just off 9th Avenue, the space felt like a pause button—unassuming yet deeply comforting, with an interior that leaned into simplicity rather than spectacle. Pale wood, soft lighting, and a layout that favored ease over excess—it was a kind of honesty in design that immediately set the tone.

I ordered a flat white, and though straightforward, it carried a certain clarity—smooth, balanced, with just enough strength to hold its own without overwhelming. It was the kind of cup that reminded me why simplicity, when done right, can be its own kind of sophistication.

What made the visit linger, however, was the service. Katie, who prepared and served my drink, was genuinely kind and welcoming—an energy that elevated the space in ways design alone could not. Sometimes it isn’t the coffee or even the interior that makes a café worth remembering, but the warmth of those behind the counter.

St Kilda isn’t a place that tries to dazzle; it doesn’t need to. It’s a place to exhale, to share a moment with a friend, or to find a pocket of calm before the city’s pace resumes. A reminder that, every now and then, simplicity is the most beautiful form of refinement.“

“cute and quaint. Friendly and kind owners. Pastries were delicious and cupcakes were yummy. They were almost too cute to eat.“

“This place is such a hidden gem!! I came by here to work with a laptop. I love the atmosphere and healthy options to choose from. The wifi was fast so I felt productive working here. I got Clarity juice, which contains lime, celery, cucumber and spinich. It tasted really fresh and refreshing! I can tell they use fresh ingredients for sure. The barista lady in the morning was very kind and courteous as well. I highly recommend this place! :)“

“Terrific coffee and service. Love this place ☕️ ❤️“

“ambiance, quality of coffee and sandwiches, friendly barista, good location!“

“A charming little café that’s pure joy for coffee lovers craving something creative, cozy, and truly unique. Nestled on Elizabeth Street in the heart of Chinatown, Köre Coffee blends traditional Korean flair with artisanal café favorites.   

Their signature tiramisu lattes—whether the classic, matcha, or black sesame Tahni version—are a delightful twist on dessert-in-a-cup and are consistently praised as rich, creamy, and balanced.    The black sesame latte is a standout—savory, subtly sweet, and velvety smooth.  

Pair any drink with their croffles—a buttery hybrid of croissant and waffle—offered in flavors like strawberry tiramisu or savory cheese and bacon. The everything bagel croissant filled with savory cream cheese is another local favorite that blends comfort and surprise.  

Inside, seating is limited—more cozy grab‑and‑go than café lounge—but the friendly staff and quick service make the experience still feel warm and inviting.   Despite their compact size, many visitors leave with a full belly and a happy heart.  

While prices are on the higher side (most specialty drinks hover around $8), the quality, creativity, and charm make every dollar feel well spent.  

⸻

Why it captured our hearts:
• Inventive drinks that feel like mini dessert experiences
• Unique pastries—croffles, everything-bagel croissant
• Friendly, artful service (NK Kim and family-run vibe)
• Perfect Chinatown location with handcrafted atmosphere

Whether you grabbed a tahini black sesame latte, matcha tiramisu, or a warm croffle, Köre Coffee offers something memorable for first-time visitors and seasoned coffee adventurers alike.“

“I had a friend come in from the Midwest & needed quick breakfast. We came across Chinos as an option & decided to try due to amazing reviews. This place is easily accessible, spacious, extremely clean, organized etc... plenty of food options available. Menu was affordable. Customer service was fantastic & above/beyond. I've never been served food directly to the table at spots like this. Typically they call you up to the counter to take it. Great experience & would most definitely return when back in the area.

Btw those drinks are better than Starbucks! If they had a separate location just for drinks & pastries... I would most definitely be there. #supportsmallbusiness“

“Just came for a quick coffee break and ended up loving this place! Quiet, clean, spacious, and aesthetic cafe. Delicious bakery items (recommend the raisin pastry and chocolate croissant!) and coffee. Really lovely service! Plus, they display the train schedule on a TV so it's perfect for chilling while you wait for your train. And pastries are 50% off past 4pm :)“

“Great quality coffee and awesome staff. Thanks a lot for coming down to The Beacon every week to caffeinate our day.“

“Tried a dirty chai here for the first time—perfectly balanced with coffee, spice, and not too much milk. Cozy, plant-filled space with a warm, no-laptop vibe. Small, intimate seating and run by a passionate owner who makes even the syrups in-house. Great selection of coffee, niche teas like genmaicha, and very fair prices for NYC. A real gem!“

“Turboboost to become really happy!“

“Was in New York for the first time. Stumbled across this Bagel shop!! Best Bagels and Cream Cheese in the City!! Wonderful Atmosphere too!!“

“I live in the area and attend college out of town so getting to the library on my off days is tough. I've been looking for a place with a chill ambiance, wifi, good tea, and coffee. Well, look no more for me. I thoroughly enjoyed my time here. Great rustic look, comfy seating with back support, loads of outlets for laptops, and the second-floor space are super cute and cozy too. Oh and there's a small little outside area that's pretty cool as well. Shaquille (hope I spelled it right) was AMAZING! So down-to-earth, friendly, polite, and easy to talk to. She made me the Tumeric latte for me and I all but licked the cup clean. I had the hummus & cucumber on sourdough toast and it was divine. Also, a great option for vegans. I totally recommend this place if you have similar needs or just want to hang out with some friends. I will surely be going back.“

“When I first discovered this cafe I instantly fell in love with the atmosphere of the cafe. Everything on the menu is so delicious! And the staff is super friendly.“

“I had the Taylor ham, egg, and cheese with hash browns on an everything bagel from DB Breakfast and wow, it was absolutely amazing. The sandwich was perfectly balanced: crispy hash browns, flavorful Taylor ham, and gooey melted cheese all stacked between a fresh, toasted everything bagel. Every bite was packed with flavor and satisfaction.

If you’re looking for a next-level breakfast sandwich that hits all the right notes, this one is it. Highly recommend.“

“Looking for the best coffee spot in Bayonne? Look no further than Lavaccino! More than just a coffee shop, Lavaccino serves up perfectly brewed espresso, delicious sandwiches, refreshing juices, and creamy gelato 🍨 handmade to perfection. And don’t miss out on their exclusive, one-and-a-half-pound bar of Dubi chocolate—crafted in-house, it’s the best you’ll find in the tri-state area! Lavaccino’s cozy atmosphere and top-notch menu will keep you coming back for more. It’s a taste of Italy with a Dubai twist, right in your neighborhood😉“

“Great coffee, We stopped at Roast’d coffee shop before heading to NYC, great experience; the pour over coffee was fantastic. Johan was quite friendly explaining different coffee beans as he roasted them and brews the coffee. I tried the espresso as well brewed from 3 different beans, very tasty. Now this is our favorite place to have coffee when traveling to NYC. We talked with local customers, so good vibes and recommendations. Awesome place if you love good coffee.“

“Great vibe. Friendly,warm and kudos to Desiree who was wonderful.“

“Very nice people. Started their business run giving out free coffee and breakfast cakes. I highly recommend.“

“Community, coffee, bikes, queers“

“I absolutely love this place and it’s my top choice whenever I’m in Brooklyn! The Spanish latte is a must-try for me—it’s so creamy and perfectly sweet. Even when it gets busy, the service is super quick, and the baristas really know what they’re doing. I typically spend around $7–8 for a drink, which isn’t the cheapest, but honestly, the amazing taste and overall vibe make it totally worth it!“

“love this place so much; they have the cutest interior and the yummiest foods. their sandwiches are so stuffed with the fluffiest eggs and made with the softest bread. their drinks are all so vibrantly colored and really fun. love the vibes of the place and the staff are all so nice too. can’t wait to go back to try more!“

“Amazing coffee, cakes and Service was the best!“
