Coffee Shops near Parlin

“I always have a great experience at the Dunkin’ Donuts on Washington Rd! The service here is consistently fast and efficient, making it an easy stop even on busy mornings.
I especially want to recognize Upasana—she truly stands out. She has such an upbeat personality, always greets me and my son with a genuine smile, and keeps the line moving with quick, attentive service. It’s clear she takes pride in her work and makes the experience more enjoyable for everyone who walks in.
Excellent service like this is what keeps me coming back. Highly recommend this location!“

“Not sure why all the negative reviews although maybe I was just lucky. Ordered 4 bagels with pork roll egg and cheese and 2 with cream cheese. Bagels were large and fresh. Plenty of pork roll and cheese.Delicious!! Order was correctly prepared. Cook and counter gentleman was nice. No lady at counter as in some reviews. Ordered ahead and food was ready when I arrived. No complaints here. Enjoyable breakfast.“

“Great coffee by the pour over aficionado. Brew has many choices in coffee flavors that will satisfy your pallet.“

“I go here multiple times a week. The owner is always very nice and the place is so inviting. Sometimes I order pickup and sometimes I bring a friend to have coffee and lunch. It’s the greatest spot. Highly recommend the ruby turkey sandwich. I’m very thankful they have gluten free bread. 🥰🥰“

“loved the vibe here. R&B theme creates such a warm, laid back atmosphere, makes it easy to relax or get some work done. the banana pudding matcha was hitting! staff was friendly, and the space felt intentional. if you’re looking for a coffee shop with great drinks and even better energy, this is definitely worth checking out.“

“I ordered a maple cold brew with pistachio cold foam from their winter menu and a few donuts. It was all delicious!“

“I love having a Dominican bakery so close. Everything we’ve had there has been FABULOUS!!! Honestly, some of the best coconut macaroons I have ever had and that includes ones I’ve had in DR. I had a coconut tree leches cake, and a strawberry short cake cup, which were both out of this world. The cold brew is so good, and the pumpkin sauce is on point. They’re also super friendly. Next time I need to try the pastelitos (empanadas).“

“Cozy setting and great service. Really enjoyed popcorn chicken. We ordered a lot of drinks for the family last minute unfortunately but they were able to make sure everything fit in the bag and if it didn't they gave a small bag with the extra drink to carry.“

“Been wanting to try this spot and so happy that I got the chance today. Cute interior and nice staff. Tried the signature pistachio latte and it was absolutely delicious. Highly recommend. Cannot wait to try out other items on the menu next time!

Now for my standard comments. Location is clean and well kept. Comfortable indoor seating. Open parking out front.“

“First time at Mind The Gap Coffee! I drove 30 minutes to try their coffee and matcha, and both iced lattes were 10/10 😋. I also grabbed an almond croissant for my mom, and she loved it! The café has super cute aesthetics. Though it was a bit pricey—$26 for two drinks and a croissant—but totally worth the drive. I’ll definitely be back! 💕“

“Amazing Food and service !!“

“Such a small, cute cafe but seriously amazing coffee. I tried their iced caramel macchiato and a couple of their specialty drinks, and everything was so good. You can tell they really care about the quality. The vibe is cozy and welcoming.. definitely a spot I’d come back to again. Highly recommend if you’re in the area!“

“Very cute, comfortable, and cozy. Staff was professional, friendly and warm. However, very overpriced! A plain bagel was almost $4, with nothing on it, and a 12 Oz latte was almost $8. The price charged at check out did not matched the price posted on the menu. I thought that was interesting.“

“Not being from the area (South Jersey), I've wanted to try LeGrand Coffee House for quite a while now. So on a trip up to NY a couple days ago, we finally got the chance to stop in on our way up the Parkway. This place is amazing! This beautifully-decorated coffee house had some of THE best coffee I've ever had in my entire life. I got TWO lattes while I was there (a French Vanilla and a Honey Almond). My family and I also got the chicken pesto sandwich, and it was absolutely delicious. My daughter had an iced chai tea latte and loved it. DEFINITELY get to this place if at all possible! Two thumbs up!!“

“Loved the shroom sando and the cold brew“

“Great spot for a meeting! Great food and the best coffee!“

“One of the best cafes I’ve been to. Always clean and quick. Staff is super friendly and donuts and sandwiches always fresh. I always try their new refreshers and iced Capps and they’re super yummy. A Must try for everyone in the NJ state.“

“Brewed Awakening is the perfect spot for breakfast, brunch, or lunch. The food is consistently delicious, and some of my favorites include the BLT Sandwich (always made to perfection), the omelettes, and their Apple Caramel Butter Latte—a delightful seasonal treat. I first discovered the latte through a social media post a few weeks ago, and now Brewed Awakening has become my go-to spot every Sunday for a relaxing meal. The service is always warm and welcoming. Annie, the owner, often makes an appearance on the floor, either serving or checking in with guests to ensure they’re enjoying their visit. Her kindness and genuine hospitality make the experience even more special. I highly recommend stopping by Brewed Awakening for a delicious meal and a cozy, inviting atmosphere. You won’t be disappointed!“

“If you’re looking for something easy and full of options, Wonder is your go to. This specific location never disappoints. Ask for Rose when you stop by, she was super attentive, friendly and made sure we were taken cared of. 10/10!“

“An Episode of the Podcast Local neighborhood experts Sharon and Kyle was filmed here 1/8/25 at California Cold Co in Brick NJ. Upon first entering this chic coffee shop, you can’t help but noticing the stylish trendy muted palettes, industrial ceiling and altogether sophisticated atmosphere. The key elements are clean lines, uncluttered space, and focus on natural elements. The star of the show the coffee. My co-host Kyle and I stayed with the traditional coffee with a shot of espresso and cold brew, however, there are endless specialty coffee drinks to choose from as we were leaving. We were offered a complimentary avocado toast, which was delicious. If you’re looking for Instagrammable photos and modern space look no further than California Cold Co. in Brick New Jersey.

“the staff is excellent nahum end sulma yarixa the guy who helps you select the food for the bowl is amazing. also the manager at night is also very sweet! great environment! food is amazing. they also have specials and also can get points. the service is above and beyond“

“Loved this cute little place!!! My daughter and I were out and about, and wanted to get some coffee, but not from the regular “chain” coffee shop, so after a quick search, we headed to Metuchen. We were lucky enough to get parking right outside, and walked in to be pleasantly surprised by the esthetic vibe. Everything was super clean, and we were greeted right away by the super friendly employee. My daughter ordered a cappuccino and I got iced coffee. We also got a cheese and pesto savory pastry and a passion fruit and coconut tres leches dessert. Everything was delicious!!!!! Thanks for the enjoyable experience. We will definitely return.“

“I bought a cake for my friend's anniversary today, but unfortunately, it got ruined when I hit the brakes hard on my way out of the parking lot. Since it was entirely my fault, I went back to the store just to ask if I could get a discount on a new one. But to my surprise, they were incredibly kind and offered to exchange it for a new one for free! I was so deeply touched!! I know every staff in here is always kind and helpful, but I especially want to thank Damaris and Sury for helping me out with this early this morning 🫶. Thank you so much, and see you again soon!“

“Penstock is great. Their tea is awesome and it always hits the spot. Also, the staff is very helpful and down to Earth.“

“Coffee! Love that it’s near my home and convenient Drive thru!“

“Yummy!! Love the speciality donuts!!“

“If you’re looking for an amazing pre- or post-workout treat — or just something delicious to satisfy your sweet tooth without feeling guilty — this place is it. The service is always wonderful, and the Cowabunga Smoothie is one of my personal favorites. Everything they serve is made with natural, organic ingredients, so you don’t have to worry about a bunch of ultra-processed stuff going into your body. It’s refreshing to find a spot that focuses on quality while still making drinks that taste this good. It’s always a great choice when you need a quick energy boost to keep your day going. Highly recommended.“

“Been here a few times, their coffee is delicious, especially their nitro! And the owner is a special ed teacher, and really nice. I hear they're getting their food license soon!“

“As I run in to grab my order, I see the prized pistachio latte And think to myself: ‘Yup, it’ll definitely taste good’ Ps. Please bring the tiramisu latte back.“

“We were looking for Brasilian salgadinhos to snack on during the Copa 2024 Brasil game. We found a large assortment at Cafe Cirino.
It’s a small place, with tables. A surprisingly large menu, with lots of choices. Gabriela took our order, which was made on the spot and well packaged for the trip home.
Paid parking across the street.“

“We are so grateful to El Jefe’s for generously donating a catered lunch to our school staff during Staff Appreciation Week! Their kindness and willingness to give back to the community truly means so much. The taco bar was an absolute hit — fresh, delicious, and enjoyed by everyone! From start to finish, everything was seamless. Delivery was right on time, the setup was clean and organized, and the take down was effortless. Thank you, El Jefe’s, for helping make our staff feel so appreciated. Your support of our school community does not go unnoticed, and we highly recommend them for both their amazing food and outstanding service!“

“Perfection is an understatement. Kudos!“

“This place is beautiful. Most of the sandwiches contain ham, so there isn’t much variety for vegetarians or people looking for halal food.
Today, I used the restroom. It was very clean; however, there was no soap to wash my hands. The soap dispensers were empty and filled with water.
Today I went to the same place and used the restroom, the soap dispenser empty since yesterday 😡 I’m wondering how the staff serve us without washing their hands 😢“

“OMG... Thank goodness a true Diner has arrived! Moved to Morgan's Bluff 4 yrs ago and I was so disappointed with the Ocean diner. If you can't make a good breakfast or a decent hamburger, you're useless to me as a diner! Guiseppe and son Sergio have already made a name for themselves by serving awesome tasting food in abundance, great service in an immaculate and friendly environment. Love the way they come to each table to see if all is good...making you feel comfortable like they've known you forever!! Keep up the good work. Buena fortuna!“

“Billy, le barrister is amazing as is the other barrister, sorry didn't catch his name! Coffee, pastries, donuts and atmosphere is fabulous. Customer service is unbeatable, thank you ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“I purchased a new Jura ENA 8 from 1st In Coffee. I'm absolutely delighted in every way! This machkne is a magical piece of technology. It makes all coffee drinks PERFECTLY. I have a Gaggia Classic and could never make an espresso drink as good as the Jura. AND its fully automatic. It's truly impressive. Before pulling the trigger, I called some dealers. I was most impressed by Jim at 1st.
He was polite, patient, and he answered all my questions. The machine arrived within a few days in 100% perfect condition. This is an authorized Jura dealer for the last 22+ years. I called Jura Inc. and they confirmed this. Jura Inc. wasn't anywhere near as helpful as 1st! The actual manufacturer! I feel comfortable dealing with this company and look forward to doing business with them again for coffee and supplies.“

“Ray and Jay are some of the sweetest people in all of Keyport“

“It's a good place to have coffee and relax.“

“Awesome place. Our order was ready in a few minutes. The place gave us ocean beach vibes and we had the pleasure of having who I assume was the owner come and give our daughter some stickers which she was excited to receive. Can’t wait to come back.“

“I usually don’t write a lot of reviews for places but I honestly love this Starbucks so much and figured it was time to write one. My friend Despina and I come here extremely often. We love the atmosphere and people here, they are so so nice! The morning staff has always been friendly to us and welcomed us with a smile as soon as we came in. The afternoon staff is also extremely friendly as well :) I made friends with one of the baristas who remembers me every time I come in and they are always nice about everything when it comes to costumer service. I always love coming here, it’s my favorite part of my day!! Thank you to all the workers here who truly make this Starbucks a comforting place to be.“
