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“

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

“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.“

“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.“

“Stopped into 787 Coffee Co. and tried their Coquito Latte with rum-infused beans—absolutely incredible. I also grabbed a quesito, which was perfectly flaky and sweet, the ideal pairing with the coffee. The vibe in the shop was warm and inviting. As a puerto rican I felt like it was a home away from home 🇵🇷“

“Yummy coffee & sweet treats! Staff is always super kind, always willing to give recommendations. I’ve gotten the Tres Leches latte both hot & cold, I don’t think it has a distinct flavor but it’s very creamy & overall good!“

“Awesome spot. Really good coffee and atmosphere“

“This place is a safe have! Such good energy and such good vibes, BEBE and Jaylean are such stars! So easy to sit and work, has a real community atmosphere, great coffee, great empanada on the days I’m being cheeky! You should definitely stop by- they also have a room next door dedicated to working - always my little bubble!!“

“Awesome spot. Really good coffee and atmosphere“

“excellent et frais 🤩 je recommande !“

“This is one of my favorite coffee shops in Jersey City (and believe me, there are many). The staff is so lovely, the food is fresh and delicious and reasonably priced for the quality, the drinks are fun. I've brought babies, worked here, stopped by with my dog for takeout, and sat outside, and all experiences have been great. Highly recommend Hybrid!“

“Best babka I’ve ever had, ohhhh my goodness. Best bakery I’ve been to in a long time, and I am bakery-obsessed. Already dreaming of how and when I can make my way back to Park Slope just for this and the super chocolate-chip cookie. But that babka, this subtle mix of Nutella and chocolate (I don’t even like Nutella) and the smooth, moistness of it all is so perfect, with this sugared little crispy bottom. Shoutout to Omri, a talented stop-motion artist working his last week, who was so warm and helpful to me.

5 stars!!!!“

“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!)“

“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!“

“😊 An excellent taste 🙏🙂🍀👍“

“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“

“Excelentes sus comidas, café, jugos y demás.Inmejorable el trato del personal !! Muy buena gente! Encantada de haberlos conocido!!!!“

“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.“

“Love lt! Very excellent service ❤️“

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

“Coffee Project New York is hands down one of the best coffee spots I’ve ever visited in the city! The atmosphere is cozy and welcoming, with the aroma of freshly brewed coffee filling the air. Their baristas are incredibly skilled and friendly — they truly care about every cup they serve. I tried their signature deconstructed latte, and it was an experience in itself — rich, smooth, and beautifully balanced. The minimalist decor and chill vibe make it perfect for relaxing or getting some work done. Definitely a must-visit for true coffee lovers in NYC!“

“I stopped here on a whim driving home and I’m so glad I did. Super friendly workers who asked how I was while they were making my order and one even brought my bag of food to me as I was waiting by the front door.

We ordered the Chipotle Chicken and Chino’s Special subs to go (hero sizes). Both were incredible! The CC had a really nice kick to it and complimented the crispy chicken cutlet very well. Chino’s Special was my favorite - a messy sub with a generous helping of turkey meat with a runny egg.

My family of 3 wished we had more space in our stomachs to finish everything. The hero sized subs are large, and absolutely worth the price especially with similar restaurants charging the same, if not more, for a mediocre sub. We will be back for more!“

“I simply LOVE this place. It not only has the best vegan sandwiches and desserts, the hospitality is amazing. Everyone is very friendly and welcoming. The only thing bad is that they are 45 minutes from me. I wish there was one closer to where I live. I would be going more often. I'm hoping one day they will become a franchise. I would definitely want to open a How Delish! ❤️“

“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.“

“MCM Coffee is such a gem! For a small coffee shop, they have an impressive variety of drink options, you’ll definitely find something for every mood. The coffee itself was rich and flavorful, and I was really impressed by the quality. On top of that, the service made the experience even better. J, the barista, was incredibly friendly and accommodating, which made me feel so welcomed. I’ll definitely be coming back, highly recommend this spot if you’re looking for great coffee and even greater service!“

“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.“

“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😉“

“Wow! Amazing experience. Exotic coffee tastes. The owner “Diego” educated us the difference of tastes and quality of coffee including which one should be with milk and those that will killed the exquisite taste of a real coffee. A unique experience! Highly recommended. And also try the chai teas with their own foam; it will mesmerize your palate!“

“I visited my local Qahwah for the first time today, and i was pleasantly surprised at the warm, welcoming atmosphere, the delicious aromas, and the polite staff. it was beautiful, and everything i got to drink (I couldn't decide, so I got two!) and eat was delectable! Highly recommend!“

“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!“

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

“Community, coffee, bikes, queers“

“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.“

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

“My wife and I stopped by without knowing much about it. What a great experience! The pasties, sweet and savory, are superb. We both had macha, which was expertly made. The space is clean and welcoming with great music playing and the staff was obviously proud of their work, attentive and patient. I highly recommend!“

“Nikola was amazing. Atmosphere and cocktails out of this world.“

“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.“

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

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

“We pulled off the highway for a coffee and stumbled upon this gem. The pastry menu is filled with unique items and great flavor combinations. I had the ube pan de sal and the Kashmir cardamom latte with oat milk. I absolutely love both! The location seemed surprising at first, it’s located in a larger office complex, but inside it feels comfortable with warm lighting and plenty of seating. They also sell records and prepared wraps and desserts. Check it out if you’re in the area! I will be sure to stop by next time I’m passing through.“

“Nice breakfast spot. Got scrambled eggs on a biscuit and a cold brew. They have a large communal table near the counter that was easy enough to grab a seat at. Counter order and then they bring the food out. Everything was quick and the food was good.“

“Wonderful place, delicious food and great atmosphere“

“Excellent coffee and best cookies in the city! Baristas know what they’re doing, service is quick, and single origin specialty coffee is a bonus!“

“Wonderful iced latte! lovely staff, delish little breads and donuts.“

“Been going here for 4 years! Absolutely adore it. Their lemon pepper is to die for. I also really enjoy their vanilla earl grey tea and jasmine pearls. The service is always outstanding and there is a huge range of spices and tea. Great for gifts or souvenirs!“
