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 !“

“Amazing experience at this Dunkin! The service was incredibly fast, and the staff was attentive and on point. Orders were taken quickly, made correctly, and handed off without any delay. You can really tell the team works efficiently while still paying attention to customers. Perfect stop when you’re in a rush—this location definitely gets it right!“

“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 service. If you want a genuinely good cup of coffee, visit this kiosk.“

“Me and my daughter came in for free ice cream promotion, expecting a tiny sample but was given a decent size ice cream cup. It was delicious cotton candy dots. George was extremely friendly. The atmosphere is very relaxing. We will definitely be back.“

“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.“

“The coffee is perfect and because they roast themselves it is better for you and it doesn’t bother my stomach. The blueberry muffins and chocolate chip cookie are the best I’ve ever had! Love this place.“

“Cappuccino & service is amazing.“

“The best coffee ever and the desserts 5 stars“

“Great brunch place with kids. Great service.“

“Nice spot for a coffee and pastries — cozy atmosphere and good quality overall. We got 2 beef empanadas which were tasty, though a bit pricey for what you get. Also tried the milanesa sandwich — the milanesa itself was good, but the sandwich was small for the price, and instead of adding more to make it heartier, they filled it out with potato chips. The 2 cortados were solid. Overall the food is good, but for the Hackensack area, it’s overpriced — portions don’t quite match what you’re paying.“

“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.“

“This space is beautiful! The food is delightful. The best part of the whole experience, however, was the very sweet manager. I was the first customer of the day and she treated me with so much warmth and kindness. She made my drink with so much love. Can’t wait to return.“

“Just Perfect“

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

“So if you’re looking for not just great coffee, but over the top helpful and knowledgeable staff. Then you’ve found the right place! The Barista’s Touch is a fantastic choice with fresh ideas and incredible tasting coffee beverages. The prices are competitive with other independent coffee shops in the area, but these guys are consistent in quality and ingenuity. They make some wild creations with and without coffee. They carry some fantastic local bakery specialties that Don just look delicious, but absolutely melt in your mouth. These folks are legit and I highly not just recommend but encourage you to stop by and pick up a cup of Java either hot or cold. I promise you won’t be disappointed and you’ll come back.“

“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!“

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

“I had such a lovely experience at Blue Ridge! One of the owners, Denisse, took care of me and was incredibly warm and welcoming. She shared that it’s a family-owned business, which makes the atmosphere feel even more special.

I tried the iced latte, made with excellent-quality coffee, as well as the chocolate chip banana muffin and the chocolate cake. Both were absolutely delicious, gluten-free, and baked by Denisse herself. The shop is spotless, conveniently located, and clearly run with a lot of care. I highly recommend it!“

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

“Such amazing coffee and the food looked really good. Will def return“

“The drinks were very good and the ladies behind the counter looked like they were walking hard, but it took a long time and I do not think they make the drinks in order. My husband's milkshake came out first and then they did not make my drink until a lot later even though we ordered them at the same time on the same bill. It is not like my drink took longer to make, they were just working on orders for other people who came in after us. Odd. Plus not a friendly place.“

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

“Best sushi / sashimi / poke / boba & everything else on the menu on this side of the Mississippi, actually probably both sides of the Mississippi honestly.
I’ve eaten at many similar style places all over the tri-state area, nothing beats Poke Express

Gina & Tony are the best“

“This is such a cute brunch spot. The atmosphere and decor are so bright, clean, and welcoming. The staff was super friendly. I had to try the Hazelnut Orange Latte- which was a super interesting combination and let me say it’s definitely one to try! A must try place in Bergen County!“

“Tried this place for the first time the other day and the coffee was smooth delicious. Juan, the barista was super friendly and knowledgeable. The two disappointing parts were no sugar free flavoring and the ham and cheese croissant. As someone with Type 1 Diabetes sugar free flavoring options are my only option so it’s saddening when there aren’t any. The croissant was tasteless and the ham wasn’t a normal color. As a whole, it was a positive experience and I will return for the coffee just not a pastry.“

“Love their coffee and the small time vibe where it is located. Great service and people that work there!“

“One of the best einspanners in Bergen County! Theres always a few people doing work or having conversations. The staff is friendly. If you’re looking for minimalistic and aesthetic vibe this is the place.

For someone with a sweet tooth, I enjoy the Lotus Biscoff Latte and Matcha einspanner ☺“

“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.“

“Amazing coffee and friendly, attentive staff!“

“Delectable baked goods!! Inviting atmosphere and the best of service. Paying $15.44 a cheese and spinach pastry and a medium coffee was a surprise.“

“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“

“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!!!“

“Such a welcoming atmosphere and staff with a pleasant, welcoming attitude. I was in a fickle about what tea to choose and staff offered me some other options. The banana chocolate loaf was sooo good. I’m not sure if they’re handmade but Jesus, it was good!! lol I would recommend if anyone is in the area or just passing by. Please, please, please stop by here and grab a quick bite to eat. It’s lovely!“

“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.“

“Big fans of the coffee drinks both cold and hot and the muffins, croissants, cookies and other baked goods are delicious and fresh baked on the premises!“

“Great menu and quality food“

“I went in with my husband around closing time and Melissa welcomed us with open arms. She took the time to explain the menu to us and give us recommendations. You can tell her passion and love for the place. The food was absolutely amazing, and we will definitely be coming to try the whole menu!“

“EXCELLENT SANDWICHES, GOOD COFFEE“

“Love this little gem . Delicious food and coffee💕🎺❤️and great service 🙏🏻⚔️🎺“

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

“This is a great coffee shop. They make the best cappuccino in town and the service is always excellent, you can tell they care about making sure you enjoy your visit. All the coffee items are delicious and there are plenty of pastries, but the key to your visit here is to make sure you try whatever homemade items are available, they’re simply delicious, all of them.“

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

“Boxer Donut is a charming, small coffee shop located just off Main Street that packs a big punch in quality and flavor. Despite its modest size, this spot stands out for its excellent lattes and freshly made donuts. The coffee is rich and carefully crafted, with a smooth texture that makes each latte a delight—perfect for anyone who appreciates a well-made cup of coffee. Equally, the donuts crafted on-site offer a unique twist, reflecting the care and creativity behind every treat.

The ambiance inside Boxer Donut is relaxed and inviting, making it an ideal destination whether you’re looking for a quiet moment to enjoy your coffee or a friendly meeting spot. With its convenient location near Main Street, the coffee shop is an accessible gem for local residents and visitors alike. The efficient service further enhances the overall experience.“

“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!!!!“

“Friendly staff, great music, delicious coffee. They’re happy to fill your reusable mug as well, which is always a plus. Coffee is great, but I wouldn’t recommend the matcha, it was overly sweet and not very strong. Nice ambiance especially when the fireplace is going. Good space to work or hang out with friends, but be aware that on the weekends it can get pretty packed with the cyclist crowd - though they’re very friendly, they take up a lot of seating!“

“Great place to eat …right next to the New Jersey transit“
