50 Best Coffee Shops near Princeton Junction

“Sue Dhru does exceptional service , every time and I often see her at three different locations, very hard working, kind and friendly person working for Dunkin !!!

Vegetarian options: Avocado toast , harsh brown n everything cream bagels!!!“

“Best coffee and service. Peaceful vibe, good place to sit and collect your thoughts.“

“Great coffee, relaxed atmosphere, super friendly staff, and I can sit outside with my pup.“

“Lyberry Coffee is amazing with fresh, delicious food and seasonal coffees! The staff is very friendly and the atmosphere is welcoming and calm. Go enjoy!“

“Full disclosure, i am a meat eater, but really love the vegetarian/vegan options they have here. I just had their vegan taco salad and could not tell it did not contain meat. It was delicious!“

“Great pastry and wonderful black tea. The person behind the counter was very hospitable and friendly. I definitely recommend the cream puffs.“

“too expensive, horrible service, arrogant and ignorant staff. unless you have 15 minutes to wait for a simple coffee and muffin while these igorant people commiserate with college students, dont bother patronizing this place. $15 for muffin, coffee and tip makes Starbucks seem inexpensive.“

“Credit card companies make a killing by screwing over small businesses but small businesses would be better suited sorting that out and investing in a functional checkout system than investing in a useless singing robot waiter.

Decent food, very nice regular hot tea as well as bubble tea, with hit or miss desserts in a lovely environment that sometimes takes a very, very long time (even with reservations made over a week in advance).

The QR code on each table would be very simple for orders except that it's not per scan but per table. Several times I tried to add to our order but the site refreshed so I had to add everything to the order again.

In the end, I worried about the buyer getting saddled with four botched orders and resorted to stealing a QR code from an empty table. That way I was able to immediately place and pay for my order without inconveniencing my friends or whoever sat at that table next.

I'd give Prince Teahouse three stars due to repeated disappointment but I don't want to ruin their review score that badly and the employees try their best.“

“We dropped in for breakfast. The coffee was great and the various pastries and pies. Everything has amazing. We ordered Spinach turnover, cheese danish, egg avocado cheese Sandwich, beef salami and leak and Parma jam turnover, almond raspberry pie croissant.

Service was fast and efficient

We recommend the Black Pearl.“

“Nice outdoor seatings. Order at the counter and they’ll bring the food to you. Pretty coffee mugs, but the latte and flat white are not as strong as I preferred. The sandwiches are tasty, especially the steak sandwich. Reasonable prices. Can get crowded on the weekends.“

“I’ve never been much of a sweets person at all, but I’ve been hearing so many good things about this place, the whole town has been raving about it. Today I decided to stop in and I couldn’t control myself everything looked so delicious, the Cinnabons, cookies, and cupcakes are so fresh and tasty. Pretty busy business, which is a good sign, the staff was so friendly, Lilly helped me out & the owner Joanne is amazing!!! Can’t wait to come back & try more delicious baked goods :)“

“Great little local coffee shop in a great location. Staff is friendly. Loved their tea based drinks.“

“This coffee shop is amazing! The owner is wonderful. She recently came to our apartment at The Parc at Princeton Junction for a wine and truffle tasting for Valentine’s Day and it was a fabulous event. So my boyfriend and I decided to stop by her coffee shop and try it out and was I blown away! The coffee was absolutely wonderful! The atmosphere is amazing! If you are ever in the Princeton area I highly recommend this coffee shop!“

“Nice service area before Exit 6 on NJ Turnpike (I-95). There’s Dunkin, Auntie Ann, Burger King, and couple of regular stores. Restrooms are clean and well maintained. Lots of table to sit and dine.

The Sunoco gas station has lots of pumps. Attendees available at all times. They also have Tesla Superchargers, about 8 stations. It’s about 1 minutes walk from the main building. The area is clean and they charge super fast.“

“Was starting my night as Lyft driver and needed a mental and physical break from the day. Found this gem in the heart of Trenton and was pleasantly surprised at the location, amount of parking on the street right In front of the establishment and the overall ease to find the place. When you enter the place is clean and inviting. Love the black and white theme going on. The place is clean and well cared for. Tables are clean and plenty of sitting. If you want to watch the world go by in this busy Trenton street you can sit at one of few laces by the oversized store front windows. With foot traffic and car traffic going by as you’re in a nice relaxing place with nice music (not too loud or quiet) the smell of coffee or whatever the kitchen is cooking up in the back. (Not overpowering or overwhelming smell) and just enjoy your treat or coffee. I had the latte and it was delicious and perfect temp. Paired with chocolate croissant warmed up. Staff is polite and kind. I sat down they brought I me the croissant and coffee. Also noticed how they would ask the other customers to sit as they with a smile on their face bring out the food or drinks. If in the are will stop by again for lunch or something savory. Greet menu and nicely priced items. WiFi available and cool designed bathroom that clean and modern to go with the theme of the place. Love the lighting in the shop! 5 stars do recommend! Would be a really cool time if it was raining outside and I was in here doing my work or just relaxing watching the busy world outside hastily move about the sidewalks and roads! Thanks for the lofi coffee shop feel and vibes!✌????????“

“Ginger cardamom scones! Actually, all the scones are delicious. Coffee beans are roasted in a facility in Rocky Hill. Our favorite is the dark roast. Shop local!“

“good food by good people🥯“

“This morning my husband picked up their chocolate covered strawberry latte for my birthday. They were very accommodating, service was great and they have lovely handwriting. (I apologize I didn’t take a picture before I mixed my drink the swirled strawberry and chocolate was very aesthetically pleasing ) it was a delicious treat“

“This cafe is a true gem as mentioned on other reviews. I did not know what to order and the barista, Pearl, made a great recommendation.
Really enjoyed the seasonal iced rose peach tea with avocado toast. The pastries looked incredibly tempting. Those are for my next visit! Great atmosphere and service!“

“Charming little cafe with excellent food and service 😊“

“My family and I flew to Nj to visit a Buddhist temple for a day and decided to come here for lunch. 10/10 service, atmosphere, and food. The staff was very courteous, the music was perfect volume, and the food was great! If we ever visit Philly/NJ again we are definitely hitting this place again!“

“We stopped here as we are visiting from England and we had such a lovely breakfast!

Delicious bagels and delicious coffee to go with it too. I had a bagel with sausage, egg and cheese and an iced latte with hazelnut syrup. The everything bagel was so so good!

Not pictured but we also ordered the waffles, salmon lax bagel and black bean burrito and they all looked very good too.

Would really recommend!“

“The products in this particular location are always super fresh any time of day and the employees are among the very best at any establishment in which I have shopped. They are always friendly and engaging and remember their customers. This is especially rewarding as it underscores that the customer is both appreciated and valued. I will go out of my way to shop at this DD site.“

“This is one of those rare places where you would chop off one of your fingers to have a location in your area. Please come to Philly! But seriously the Peruvian salad was so good, such amazing dressing and fresh lettuce, and likewise the salmon entrée was so good. Flavors on everything were sensational. Hard to believe this was at a takeout counter type of place.Amazingly healthy and even good dessert if you wanted to indulge afterwards.“

“stopped for some takeout. great food. friendly staff. will definitely go again when im in the area“

“What a truly wonderful experience it was coming here. This nice young lady that works there was very polite. There was a bit of traffic building up in there behind me, but she was very patient with me as I surely took quite a while to order a few things for my family members. Everything was clean, and freshly organized. She even made sure to reassure me that the utensils were all cleaned properly because I tend to get a bit skeptical due to the possibility of cross contamination. The ice cream quality was great! Much better than most other places in this area. I never asked for that young lady’s name but she wore a lot of bracelets, and had black nails just like my daughter, which I complemented! I will be back in here for sure!

Will recommend this place for all ice cream lovers!“

“Truly outstanding food and most welcoming atmosphere! I had the Beef rib soup with vegetables, Olla e Carne--Excellent!! Very comfortable parking space and special attention to disabled person using a walker. A great Latino cultural experience in the heart of Trenton.“

“Always best place!! Relax like home! ☕️🍩“

“A bowl for every taste. I love this place!“

“I have been numerous different Dunkin Donuts, this Dunkin is hands down the best I've been too. I've been here a handful of times and they know what to make as soon as I walk in, have the freshest chocolate glazed donut and the employees are very welcoming! Keep up the awesome job, thank you for helping get thru my day!“

“From the moment we walked in, Sara made us feel so welcomed and comfortable. She was so professional yet warm, which really set the tone for our visit. The entire experience from start to finish was truly amazing! And Renee wow, she is a 10/10 server. So kind, attentive, and genuinely made us feel cared for the whole time. We couldn’t have asked for better service. We’re so grateful we decided to come here and will definitely be back again! 😍😍“

“It’s a good place but sometimes I get my order wrong or they just don’t get me some stuff that I ordered in always order donuts but they never give it to me and I’m abt to go to the counter to ask for the receipt and they throw it away so how was I supposed to know that they got it or not ?‍♀️??“

“One of my favorite Starbucks locations. The atmosphere is calm and welcoming—not too crowded, with comfortable seating and tables inside, and plenty of space to relax outside as well. The staff is always polite and clearly knows what they’re doing. Great spot to work, read, or just enjoy your coffee in peace.“

“I enjoy coffee and I like the way Starbucks is consistent and my area I’m fortunate to have great friendly staff, no drama.

Kid-friendliness: New location is great and offers drive-thru too. Has an outdoor seating area. WiFi included ?“

“This place has a nice selection of vegan cookies, plus they don’t charge for plant milk. The cookies are artisanal. One sad thing: this place will be closing at the end of this month (June 29, 2025); so make sure to come by here before then. Updated from previous review on 2025-06-26“

“This Dunkin’ at Schalks Crossing is super convenient and well-run. The staff is usually fast and friendly, and my mobile orders are ready on time. The store is clean, and the drive-thru moves quickly even during morning rush. Coffee is consistent, and the hash browns are always hot and crispy. Great spot to fuel up before work or errands. Highly recommend!“

“I enjoyed the coffee there. It's freshly brewed and has a variety of different types of coffee. Each day I there there's different types of coffee in the special menu. There's also a yummy variety of donuts and muffins. We can't forget the yummy breakfast foods. They taste so good. Only problem is there so small. I usually have to get another one.“

“Ice cream was good and the people working were super friendly. I am mainly writing this to sincerely thank the young man working Feb 4 who chased me down after I left my wallet. I had an early flight the next day and would have been stuck!!“

“We had a wonderful experience at Paris Baguette! We bought to go boxes of coffee for the staff at a local school. Eli and Sarah were so helpful preparing my order. Eli even helped me bring the coffee to my car. My kids and I went back later that day to grab some treats and everything was delicious. They even gave my kids a free hot chocolate! I was blown away by the kindness of the staff and the place was so clean and nice! Highly recommend!“

“It's a coffee shop inside Whole Foods. Never seems too busy not that they moved it to a corner in the bakery section. Lots of options. You either have to leave with your drink or carry it around with your while you shop.

Vegetarian options: It's all veg and your can get dairy free stuff too“

“We stopped in on the way back from a trip to Trenton. We searched for a place to get Pho, soup dumplings and boba tea. This place hit on all three.
This is a small store front and at 9 PM on a Saturday it was very busy. There were a few seats open but most were full. There were a half dozen or more people waiting for food and drinks and a steady stream of people were coming in to pick up takeout.
The decor is contemporary, bright and busy lots of signs, specials, menus, etc.
There were only three employees visible and all were in constant motion.
The service was efficient without time to do much more than acknowledge each customer.
The food and drinks are focus and the draw
I am not a huge fan of boba tea, but when asked to try it, I have to say that it was excellent. The milk tea was rich and flavorful, the bobas were not too sweet, the texture was so much better than others that I've had. (Admitting that I am no expert, I will say that I will definitely explore the drink options when I am able to visit again.)
The soup dumplings were delicious. Many different flavors shown through and blended perfectly.
My favorite pho is roast pork, which was not an option, so we got the standard beef. It was also very good.
This seems to be a Princeton staple and I can absolutely see why. I wish they were closer. I would absolutely be a regular if it was close to home!
I would highly recommend this place!“
