50 Best Coffee Shops near River Vale

“Vale Coffee Shoppe makes the best tasting almond milk lattes & flat whites ! I rarely miss a day at this spot. Tasty treats as well. Great service and there is often a special event like crafts & music. Forget Starbucks or Dunkin' - support an awesome local business !“

“Always a pleasure when you walk in the door and Joe greets you. Knowledgeable conversationalist, who knows his stuff. Top notch tasting buffalo wings. So far my favorite tasting ones, and I’ve had many wings from different places. Fresh tasting beers from obviously clean lines! Oh, and he knows how to mix great cocktails too! Highly recommend you give the place a visit.“

“I bought three prepared bagels and coffee this morning. Adam’s bagels are the freshest and biggest bagels I’ve eaten. This is not my first time there. I’m never disappointed with Adam’s. See for yourself when you visit his Bagel Cafe’ in Rivervale NJ.“

“Great coffee, great pastries, great man. Sam is the nicest man there is. He invited me to come eat in his own home. His wife's homemade pastries are the best!“

“Just Perfect“

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

“the Yemeni Drink and pastry was delicious“

“I have not tired this coffee yet. But i roast my own and i know this coffee will be great. can't wait to try this coffee!“

“10/10 love this place … coffee is great, beer is great, the atmosphere at all hours of the day is always on point and the support for the local community just seals the deal.“

“This is a pleasant addition to town, and obviously quite popular. I only gave 2 stars for food because despite having a collection of 3 nondairy milks (75 cent upcharge not appreciated!) there is not a single food item a vegan or person with dairy issues can eat. Also, the only place you can sit and work on a device is the big table, which is usually full. Every other sitting area has tables that are the same height or lower than the chairs/stools so really not back friendly. Service is good and nice minimalist vibe-- will be back!

Response to owner: Regarding vegan pastries, if they are indeed vegan (dairy, egg, butter honey free) then why not label them as such or at least put up a little sign that says ask us about our vegan options?“

“Amazing chicken, pastas, wraps, deserts. Bingsoo with mango is fantastic, something you must have!!!“

“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.“

“Amazing coffee and friendly, attentive staff!“

“Great cappuccino and cheesecake. Off the beaten path.“

“My first time trying them was amazing, my aunt, cousins along with myself did a coffee tasting there and everything was great!! I had the FFF (Triple F) with a HEC on brioche 🔥! Service was exceptional as well, definitely a comeback whenever I’m in NJ again“

“My new favorite coffee shop! Excellent service and product! Highly recommend to all coffee lovers.“

Bless the owners of this establishment that have spent their lives making the lives of others better via their hard work and tasty recipes!!!“

“The only place I trust in north jersey for excellent hospitality, fantastic coffee and a really solid delicious healthy breakfast. The owner is always here making the place feel like your favorite New York cafe. Place is really clean and just a beautiful space to hang in with high ceiling and big beautiful French style windows. Outdoor seating transports you from the suburbs to the Hamptons! Love this place!!!!“

“Truly excellent freshly prepared food... outstanding service... wonderful owner ...and greatest employees. Please support this business. 2 thumbs up!“

“Beautiful people like Jessika brightens your day with a wonderful welcome. My coffee is very important in the morning, that is why I come to a wonderful place like Dunkin’. However beautiful people like Jessika make the difference in your day. SHE IS THE BEST!!!!“

“I've been coming here for about 5 years now. It's in my top 5 favorite places in the world. Great for business meetings, snacks, spot to work, best coffee around, best pastries around, beautiful/relaxing atmosphere, excellent service, and I could go on and on. Just being inside settles me and reduces my stress level. Anyone I bring states that it's one of their new favorite places. Try the spinach/cheese croissant, but leave one for me. :) 😀...Oh, and for my vegan and gluten free friends, there are loads of options for you here.“

“Very good bakery. Nice ambience.“

“one of the best coffee I had.. if I have to compare it's better than dunkin donut“

“Excellent ambiance, amazing drinks, and the best customer service !“

“I absolutely loved my drink! Way better than Starbucks!“

“deans is a fantastic little coffee shop in Pearl River. It’s beautiful and DELICIOUS and is one of my favorite (new) things about my old hometown. It feels perfectly modern for a small town and the vibes are perfection for a coffee shop. The guy barista doesnt love to talk or smile lol, but he makes BEAUTIFUL lattes and they taste like heaven. For a small space its not impossible to find a table (dont know about peak times though). Prices are average for fancy coffees, but they taste amazing. Pastry selection is far above average- lots of great choices and MANY gluten free, which surprises me and makes me happy for people with celiac out there who can never indulge at coffee shops. I love the vast array of options for different coffees and teas too, a lot for such a small space. Lastly, I like the little display of local goods they have for sale; it’s fun and feels like it also supports the local community which is nice.

Dietary restrictions: there’s lots of gluten free pastries!!!!!

Parking: go park near the library and enjoy a little walk across the field; it’s free for 2-4 hours and you got a walk (5 min) to enjoy your pastry 😁

Kid-friendliness: they seem to not mind when a table of kids comes in to gossip and play at being grown ups without ordering and just sitting and talking, which is kind of sweet?

Wheelchair accessibility: i think there is a step up inside so not wheelchair accessible. if you can get in that step, the bathroom is large and roll-in-able.“

“Honestly one of my favorite coffee spots. The drinks are always on point smooth, not too bitter, and they don’t skimp on quality. The staff is cool and chill, they actually make you feel welcome instead of rushing you. Good vibes, good music, and comfy seating. It’s the kind of place you can hang out in for a while without feeling weird about it. Definitely my go-to spot when I need a caffeine fix or just want to unwind. Especially Ryan his service is amazing.“

“The first thing, we thank God, the second, congratulations for the delicious and sacred foods that are prepared in this place. I recommend it, move on to the next thing. They have a very friendly staff with very good attention. Something very important. The place is kept very clean. We wish it to be God who prospered your business“

“Ambienti i bukur shërbimi i mirë gjithqka ishe te ne rregull..!! Faleminderit për sherbimin ..👌👌“

“one of the best coffee I had.. if I have to compare it's better than dunkin donut“

“WOW! Best Dunkin ever! Orders are consistently correct. Employees are so friendly they make your day. So sweet!

Parking: Be careful parking as it gets busy at times. Gas station shares the lot with them. I would order ahead on app then use drive-tnru.

Wheelchair accessibility: Front door has good disabled accessibility.“

“I always pass by this cafe on my way to work and figured I’d try it! The person who made my coffee was super nice, and the decorations in here are really nice and provide a calming atmosphere. I ordered an iced caramel latte, and I thought it tasted great! Would definitely come back again and recommend it to anyone in the area!“

“I read their amazing reviews, I had to add me 2 cents. Definitely try their French toast. Brings back my memories of being a kid, and filling as f...... Great for breakfast, lunch or dinner!!!“

“George's was amazing to work with. They were more than willing to help me plan a nice breakfast spread for my students...complete with full platters of scrambled eggs, bacon, sausage, pancakes, hash browns, fruit... They were kind enough to help me pack my car as well. I would HIGHLY recommend them! 👌 👍“

“Super cute neighborhood coffee shop. Their cheddar scallion biscuits and pumpkin bread are so good and so is everything else, especially the cappuccinos! The service is also amazing. There's not usually parking right in front, but there's always some across the street.“

“awesome food friendly owner“

“A huge variety coffee,and tea Awsome! its exactly what we needed in the area.“

“My only complaint is that the lone worker today, when I was paying with a credit card (without tap) took my card and tried to use tap. Before she took my card I was going to put it into the card processor. When I pointed out that it doesn’t have tap, she (2x’s) typed my card information into the register screen and it was declined (plenty of credit was available because I got gas with it shortly after). I then used my debit card which she just took from me and again tried to use tap (again not a feature on that card either). She was finally able to put my card information for the debit card and it went through. If she had let me put my card in in the first place there would have been no problem with the original transaction attempt. I feel some of the staff might need better/more training on using the register.“

“My son was recently diagnosed with EOE and is dairy, nut and egg free. Someone recommended AltEats so I contacted Laurie and she worked her magic! My son was able to enjoy an amazingly delicious birthday cake for the first time! She also created the most delicious cannoli filled cake for my guests! I can’t say enough about how easy Laurie was to work with and how lucky I feel blessed I feel to have found this establishment!“

“First time having a latte what a great find! Cute place to grab a cup of Joe and hop on the train. Will be back!!“

“Great deli, great selection. Chopped cheese sandwich was a 10/10. Great coffee too“

“My favorite Starbucks when I am in North Jersey. Very nice staff and great jazz soundtrack. My pit stop when I drive home to New York.“

“Everything looks amazing!!☕️☕️“
