50 Best Coffee Shops near Princeton Junction

“Firstly I want to say that I enjoy the seasonal treats. Breakfast is a life saver in the way to the train station. The cafe is a bit cold in the winter. The staff are wholesome, kind attentive and hard working. It is noticed! Seeing people smile and perky even when it might not be needed is always appreciated. It sets the vibes! I also recommend boiling the scrambled eggs for the bacon egg and cheese croissant 🥐 for an unknown reason those eggs seem dry.“

“They usually get my order correct, though the donuts are often not all the right ones. This is to be expected, however, so I have pretty much no complaints! I love their food and the specialty donuts (such as the spider) are great. The online app always meets expectations.“

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

“High Tea to celebrate a friend’s birthday. What a treat. I had no idea I could arrange a High Tea in central NJ. Prince Tea House was wonderful. We all enjoyed the food and ambiance. The robot was adorable, especially when s/he sang “Happy Birthday” to my friend. A wonderful ‘Ladies Day Out’ for 5 of us. Plans were already being made to return by members of my party.“

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

“Great coffee, great breakfast, and friendly atmosphere!“

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

“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!“

“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.“

“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.“

“My first visit. Atmosphere was amazing. Service was really great. It was a perfect little nook to work from for the day. A cool location and it was easy to find parking. Grateful that I discovered the spot. They have Wi-Fi and it is laid out nicely.“

“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!“

“Kind and friendly service. I came here a couple of years ago and they served me coffee from a Keurig. Perhaps different ownership but now it’s completely different. Serving legit Stumptown coffee and wide variety of espresso drinks and other goodies. Glad I tried it again.“

“By far THEE BEST oat milk mocha on ZEE planet ❤️🔥“

“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!“

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

“Today we were on our way from NY to Baltimore and when i arrived- i was aghast to see oil pooling around the front drivers wheel.
Below is a detailed chronology of what transpired!

- [ ] As we got out of the car at Richard Stockton service center- noticed oil splattered on driver side and emanating from the wheel- i went under the car and noticed oil collecting under the driver side wheel— PANIC!!
Went in to bathroom— started looking for mechanics/ honda dealerships close by— frantic/ some close some closed— i figured must go to a “ shop”— pulled into the adjoining gas station and ask if there is a nechanic- the old punjab man pointed me in the general direction— i drove by a garage door that was slightly open— peeked in - no one/ knocked/ no one-/ went into the side door of the service center and look for any staff— found a short stocky— hispanic gentelman— asked him if someone can look at car— he said yes but have to get someone to staff the desk— nervously i followed him - he was the mechanic
- [ ] Went under car/ saw the leak- asked me to turn the wheel to get access and pump the brakes—
- [ ] He looked at the color/ smell— not transmission- not coolant// not oil— possible break fluid — im sweating bullets- in anticipation of what hes going to find— he then asked that i open the break fluid cap—-“ filled to the top!!!!” Over filled— luis quickly got a bottle cap/ paper towelsand removed the excess!!!
- [ ] He asked that i start the engine— and checked the transmission fluid - low!!!!
- [ ] We took a picture with louis J
- [ ] Louis went back inside
- [ ] I went back inside to enquire about the transmission level
- [ ] I asked louis about the transmission - he said just purchase it - he picked it out and said dont worry he will help fill it up
- [ ] Louis came back out with the long funnel and added 1/2 quart— transmission fluid!!!

I couldn’t thank Mr. Louis J enough- he is truly a wonderful human being. ANY organization that has the privilege of his knowledge and humanity is a truly a lucky one!!!

I know most of you will just transiently pass through these rest stops, but PLEASE -PLEASE take a moment and say hi to this wonderful human being.

Mr. Stockton ( the signer of the declaration of independence) would be so proud!!!“

“Good food“

“Amazing, high quality matcha made fresh on site every day. I was so impressed by this place. It’s a no-frills cafe, but great to sit and relax or grab your drink to-go. I got the iced strawberry matcha, you can tell it’s fresh-made strawberry purée and the matcha tasted amazing. Highly recommend!“

“This café has become my favorite spot for coffee. The team is always welcoming and genuinely cares about making sure you get exactly what you like. I really admire that they offer free coffee to first responders—it shows how thoughtful they are. Their lunch options are delicious too, especially the turkey sandwich, which I order almost every time. Always a great experience here!“

“I get a bagel with cream cheese here almost every morning. Some days I go for breakfast AND lunch. The bagels here are perfect, the people are very nice, the service is excellent and the coffee is good. Today I got a sandwich (on a bagel, of course). SOOO delicious. I personally recommend the everything, cinnamon sugar, and Cranberry bagels. Also? Go get a chocolate chip pumpkin cookie while they still have them. ::drool::“

“Great, friendly place! Best coffee in area! No known alien abductions, but definitely a possibility!“

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

“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“

“My brain chemistry have permanently been altered by the crème brûlée, dark chocolate mousse, and tiramisu cake here. Got the tiramisu cake for my mom as a birthday cake a while ago and have been getting special occasion cake from them ever since. every bite was delicious and the texture is really fun. It might feel like a small cake, but it is so creamy and complex it can easily be shared by 8 people. I Love how they use solid chocolate to do their letters when you order ahead. As a big pudding/custard fan, there is just something really unique with combing all these components into these beautiful cakes. I will say if you have allergies, definitely ask, I was once surprised by delicious hazelnut component.“

“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!“

“Charming little cafe with excellent food and service 😊“

“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!“

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

“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.“

“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.“

“They provide a beautifully decorated Baptism cake that was so fresh and delicious! So nice that I hated to cut it! Thank you Eet Gud!“

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

“A new, clean restaurant with really delicious food. I visited after a school tour in NJ and was warmly welcomed by the owner with all kinds of Vietnamese dishes: spring rolls, bánh khọt, pho, fried chicken wings with fish sauce… everything was amazing. The atmosphere is cozy and feels just like home. A definite ‘must-try’ spot when in NJ!“

“Great, not hover-y service. Generous portions of super yummy food. Their menu has a great selection of savory and sweet, along with twists on some originals to keep things fresh like their salmon eggs Benedict, shrimp and grits, and their banana cinnamon swirl pancakes- which are all delicious! I love the whole concept.“

“Best coconut donut! Among others. I’m glad to found this little place. So delicious. They no longer have coconuts donuts long time ☹️. It’s ok“

“Hood food and a great staff! Located in what is about to become a very impressive town village

Kid-friendliness: More than welcome

Wheelchair accessibility: They have an ADA Compliant sidewalk and entrance“

“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!“

“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!“

“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 ?‍♀️??“

“The coffee is excellent and the staff is professional, caring and have an enjoyable sense of humor. I will be back.“

“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“

“They're a nice group of baristas. They're friendly and upbeat and always happy to see you. If you're a stop and shop club card holder, your 7th drink is free. They make the drinks better than some other locations across town.“

“I am choosing to edit my previous review as management reached out and, in my opinion, went above and beyond to address any issues I had. As I had service and not food issues, I'll happily adjust my initial review. It says a lot when a company cares enough to explore cystomer experience closely.“

“Great place! Coffee is amazing and their matcha drinks are the best. If you’re ever craving something cold and fresh that’s the place to go’“

“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.“

“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.“

“Always get my iced coffee 100% and simply are awsome !“
