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.“

“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“

“We found this place on accident. We were looking for historic Stone Street after riding thr Staten Island Ferry and really needed some coffee, I couldn't be happier to stumble upon this wonderful Puerto Rico coffee shop.

The barista was very nice and informative about the kind of coffee they offered. I could also tell he was proud of the place that he worked and their coffee production success.

I ordered iced coffee in a rice bag! How fun and unique and the coffee was delicious! The shop was cute too - lots of photos opportunities. Loved this place and their coffee!“

“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!)“

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

“This is our and our friends’ favorite brunch spot — the food, the service, the interior, every detail perfectly reflects the spirit of this place. The owner puts his heart into it, goes above and beyond to deliver top quality, and has built a deep connection with the neighborhood over the years. Highly recommended to anyone looking for a place with soul and real dedication.“

“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!“

“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.“

“Excellent excellent coffee place.

Very impressed with their coffee set up.
Hi-end.

The best in nyc so far...

Love this place.
Needless to say, this is a must visit place for excellent coffee.

Note; They also serve beer, wine cocktails....also fruit tarts and pastries.“

“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.“

“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! :)“

“One of the cafes I’ve been to. I came to try their coffee and decided to get a Kyoto latte it was very good not too sweet too. The staffs were friendly and nice, love the clean and modern atmosphere. I would definitely recommend this spot to any coffee lover.“

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

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

“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“

“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.“

“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 :)“

“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.“

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

“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.“

“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!“

“Our favorite coffee shop in Hells Kitchen and favorite cortado in New York. We've been in the neighborhood for 2 years and my wife is a coffee freak and has determined they make the best coffee in the neighborhood.
Also I'm partial to the owners aesthetic - the branding is "Acid", and there are some funny references throughout the store including a photo from the Tim and Eric show.“

“Turboboost to become really happy!“

“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.“

“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 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.“

“Nearly everyday, Sascha and I attend Matchaful on Mulberry Street. It feels non-presumptuous to say that in the entire history of matcha’s retail in the United States, there has rarely been a team of matcha whiskers so friendly, magnanimous, and life-affirmingly positive as those on Mulberry street. We often leave the locale, iced coconut matcha (with light maple) in hand, marveling at the human kindness and character that we have borne witness to, if only for a few minutes. To say that the drinks and the various gluten free, dense delights are of top tier and healthful quality is altogether true if beside the point. The point here really is that if you were to look up in a thickly spined, dusty dictionary the definition of exemplary customer service, you would find pictured the beaming faces of Leek, Andeta, Ricardo, and the rest of the aureoled team. We will see you come morning for the foreseeable future.“

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

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

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

“Great cappuccino 👍😎 very reasonable price“

“Community, coffee, bikes, queers“
