50 Best Coffee Shops near Roseland

“I come here when I can and my last experience was very positive. The gentleman Yash was very welcoming and made me feel like I was important. Thanks.

Parking: I came by at night and parking was straight across the location with plenty of spaces.“

“Nice Quality…Everything Nice (Breakfast Sandwiches etc…“

“I saw this place while driving . I wanted to try authentic Yemeni coffee. I tried Sana’ani coffee which is medium roast coffee with cardamom. I enjoyed this exotic taste. Store is clean and comfortable. Staff is knowledgeable about coffee. They offer authentic Yemeni desserts and America and desserts. They also nice selection of exotic teas.“

“Stunning cafe. Hidden gem for sure. In the middle of the craziest morning, I couldn’t have had a better slowdown than Orange House Cafe. The barista was really patient, kind. I was really taken aback when I saw the elegantly made cappuccino presented to me and the cookie smells delightful. Can’t wait to come back everyday.“

“When I first discovered this cafe I instantly fell in love with the atmosphere of the cafe. Everything on the menu is so delicious! And the staff is super friendly.“

“Gaby was super helpful and attentive. I wasn’t sure which percent of dark chocolate I would like so she was able to explain the difference between 60,75 and 85% of dark chocolate. She also mentioned the loyalty program that no one had previously mentioned so I was able to join! Looking forward to coming back !“

“I simply LOVE this place. It not only has the best vegan sandwiches and desserts, the hospitality is amazing. Everyone is very friendly and welcoming. The only thing bad is that they are 45 minutes from me. I wish there was one closer to where I live. I would be going more often. I'm hoping one day they will become a franchise. I would definitely want to open a How Delish! ❤️“

“Amazing Amazing place! Totally recommend this place!“

“Great place! A coffee hangout for the post modern beat generation !“

“I enjoy this coffee shop. The environment is great. Their drinks are phenomenally better than Starbucks. It's not as noisy as other coffee shops in the area. The sunlight is great in the library room.

The only downside is that one of the male baristas is not very friendly and he looks annoyed when you order a drink. He has consistently tried to close the shop 15-30 minutes early. He shuts down and cleans the machines before the end of shift so if you arrive like 15-20 minutes before closing time you might not be able to buy the drink you drove 20 minutes to get. I completely understand wanting to be efficient and needing to leave but it's inconvenient when you've driven 20 minutes across town for a to go drink based on the hours posted. He has also turned down other people so I'm not the only one with this experience.

I've been several times and female baristas are extremely friendly. Otherwise it was a 5 star experience. I just always hope I don't get the grumpy barista. It seems like I usually run into him though.

Parking: Sometimes the parking lot is full and it's hard to find a space due to the other businesses in complex.“

“The atmosphere is warm and inviting. The decor facilitates a creative space for gathering with friends and colleagues.“

“Best brownie I’ve ever eaten was the Dubai kunafa brownie. They didn’t have any made and were kind enough to make me one, on the fly, since I couldn’t wait until later due to a flight. I cannot wait to come back to NYC so I can have more tasty treats“

“Sandwich is toasted, crispy outside and soft inside. Sausage and veggie are fresh. Less mayonnaise would make it perfect but it’s personal preference. It missed one star because it took a while to get the food ready. Worthy it but too long for breakfast and can only afford it for weekend.“

“For a few years, this has been my go to spot when I'm in the Ironbound. Cool vibe and ambiance. Hit or miss on portion sizes. A very notable change over the years. The bacon side is way too small (two skinny slices). The avocado toast has significantly decreased in size but at the same price point, and it's often more cream cheese than avocado most times. Yet, and somewhat reminds me of being back in Brooklyn. Good coffee.“

“Great coffee (best I've ever had), cozy atmosphere, great baristas.“

“If you’re in the Montville/Boonton area, you’ve got to check out Howards mediterranean Café and Bagels — absolutely top-notch! Not only is the food legit, but the owner Karim went above and beyond to support us during our soft opening at Montville Pickleball & Golf Club. Much love to him for the hookup“

“Jackie Smalls – My New Favorite Brunch Spot!

I don’t usually go out for brunch because most places serve the same old eggs and pancakes, but Jackie Smalls completely changed my mind. This has to be my favorite breakfast/brunch spot I’ve tried!

I ordered the Freekeh Bowl, Grains of Nazareth, and French Toast, and every dish was incredibly fulfilling and well-balanced. But let me tell you—the French Toast was hands down the best I’ve ever had. They use sourdough bread infused with rose, which adds such a unique flavor. The whipped cream on the side was unbelievably fresh (unlike anything I’ve had before!), and the maple syrup had just the right amount of sweetness.

If you haven’t been to Jackie Smalls yet, you need to give it a try. Trust me, you won’t be disappointed!“

“Very atmospheric and friendly cafe!

This place seems super new, and I've started stopping by after my classes at NJIT since it's nearby and opens early enough. The baristas/workers have great customer service and are very kind and welcoming! The space is quite small as there's only 4-5 tables, but considering the location, it's good for grab-n-go customers.
The food I've had so far are the blueberry danish, almond croissants, and the classic sandwich. Everything tastes fresh and it's great that the pastries are toasted/hot when they serve it. The drink selection is amazing, and the drinks I've had so far are the best in the area! The drinks seem pretty consistent-tasting too!
This place is my new favorite breakfast spot near campus and I'll be showing all of my friends this place ?“

“Our server Jose was great. Food was delicious, fresh and substantial portions. Highly recommend. Since so popular be prepared to wait on the weekends but well worth it!

Parking: We were lucky enough to get a spot in front of the restaurant as someone was pulling out. There are parking spots throughout that section.“

“Best Gluten Free pizza you will find. Reminds Me of the days before I was diagnosed with Celiac, I will be back for more“

“came for a midday snack. crepes are delicious. kids loved the froyo there were several board games to choose from. were had a great afternoon at this cafe. staff was friendly & welcoming.“

“Great overall experience and the Energy in the water, the people and the atmosphere is OFF the charts!!!🎉🎉🎉“

“Enjoyed the best coffee and pumpkin bread in this lovely coffee shop run by a fantastic staff!“

“Such warm & friendly service promotes a great atmosphere 👍“

“If you're local and know coffee, you know Local coffee shop– a sweet Watchung gem where everybody knows your name *cue Cheers intro song*.

My partner and I first started visiting Local in 2021, and it's been our go-to since. Despite having four coffee shops closer to home, none of them match the quality of Local. That's why it's become part of our daily routine. We can always count on them to get it right. Plus, we've become friendly with the owners and baristas. Everyone there is professional and genuinely kind and caring.

Known for their warm and personal service, Local offers the best coffee and espresso in the Montclair area. Their menu is thoughtfully curated, featuring delicious seasonal drinks without overwhelming choices. My personal favorite? A perfectly crafted cappuccino, the perfect start to my mornings.

Though it's a small shop, there's plenty of seating both inside and outdoors. It's always a good sign when there are regulars hanging out, chatting or working. Somehow there is always plenty of room for all to enjoy the welcoming atmosphere. It's the perfect spot to catch up with old friends or make new ones :)

Vegetarian options: ALT MILKS

“Over a month ago while on a day trip to Upper Montclair with friends, I spied an artisanal chocolatier. Inside were bars, confections, hot chocolate and bark. I bought three bars for each of my friends. For myself, I took a Dominican Republic bar of organic single origin 66% and a packet of orangettes. I decided to eat both in Pune. The bar was enjoyed with every bite. The chocolate was smooth, non acidic and imparted a tasty finish. The orangettes I regrigerated due to the hot weather and have been eating and savoring each morsel slowly. Both my friends enjoyed their bars. The lady helping us was informative and gave us samples. When I return home, I plan to make another visit as it's far nicer than buying it online.“

“One of my favorite coffee spots to sit down, read, or study. The atmosphere is just ideal for focusing and relaxing. The staff is always welcoming and friendly, making it a great place to linger. Plus, the coffee is consistently excellent, always brewed to perfection. It’s the perfect place to unwind and get some work done“

“The atmosphere is chill and I really like the Airplane vibe. The Airline seats really give it a nice touch. Coffee was great! Also love that old style Airline ticker on the wall. Will be back.“

“Wonderful chill vibe, great teas, coffees, and pastries. Demetri and Saska have created a lovely refuge for food, conversation, Music and Art!“

“Best pour over ever!!☕️☕️☕️🙂“

“The guy that works there is amazing, patient and nice! By far the only employee that actually make sure he’s getting the orders correct. He’s amazing!

The owner made my drink a month or so ago & gave me the wrong bubbles I asked for regular and she ended up giving me brown sugar and said can I come back the next day she will give me a free one lol long story short she wasn’t there the next day because I bring my daughter to this location and she was too lazy to fix my drink the day she messed it up. I get she was overwhelmed by working alone and having a lot of people ordering but she has to do better as an OWNER! I have a business myself and it’s a lot of things I do not do because you have to be professional.“

“Best ice cream shop in Essex County if not the entire state of NJ. You can taste the difference in quality, creaminess, ingredients, no artificial flavors. Small micro batches made with natural ingredients and real flavors. Great owner and staff. Very nice people who go above and beyond to help create a wonderful experience. Small space but the flavor is large. They are getting ready to launch their second storefront in Lyndhurst. Go check them out. You won’t be disappointed. Favorite flavors include: Strawberry Baklava Chocolate But all are incredibly good!“

“Lunch was absolutely great. I would definitely go again!“

“Delicious coffee, and the staff is lovely!“

“Had a terrible experience today. They gave me the wrong sandwich. Tried to call them to send me a new one but all you get is a voicemail. Emailed them and even messaged them on Instagram and they never responded. So I was stuck at work all day without any food or any reimbursement“

“i took my granddaughter on Saturday. we said they have delicious ice cream. it is very clean and has friendly customer service! we recommend that you go!🍨🍦“

“The baristas are super friendly, the atmosphere is very modern- greenery lining the cafe to make you feel like you're not in a busy city of NJ but in a cute garden-esque getaway! The baristas went above and beyond, pulling out a book to ensure the drink I asked for was fully dairy free. So glad I discovered this shop for my work day coffees!

Vegetarian options: Some of the coffee syrups are dairy free. They also have packaged snacks items that are labeled vegan.

Dietary restrictions: They have a book of references for dairy allergies“

“I went to this place yesterday, food was amazing, staff was kind and friendly. I would definitely return if I am in this area again. I recommend the Dumbledore and the sweets they have were great as well. got myself some mother's days macarons. also forgot to mention it is located in a great active spot in town 😃“

“This place is beautiful, quaint, and welcoming. The desserts and pastries are delicious! My only critique is that it seems that flavor had been unecesarily sacrificed for “healthiness” on a few dishes like the oatmeal pancake, and quiche. Regardless, we will be back for the delicious coffee and pastries next time we are on the east coast!“

“Great Mission Amazing Staff. Empowering the Community. Visit Clean Water Café and Support the cause.“

“Ah - high quality coffee made for individuals. Never a bad cup of coffee... each personally made to your instructions. Or if you're like me - just let the Barista do his thing - he's never steered me wrong.“

“Shoutout to Lightbulb Coffee Shop! Awesome Iced Coffee with oat milk and a Dirty Chai! We will be back!!“

“The coffees were strong and tasty. The avocado toast was well made with a nice side salad. Parking could be an issue but we went a Sunday morning and we found parking with no problem. It is inside the apartment complex but it had lots of areas to sit in. Our food and drinks came pretty quickly, even though it was busy.“

“The Tortillas with Cafe con leche. Great people that work there. They are very nice to you. Love it 😊“

“Beautiful atmosphere, good food, friendly customer service. Our visit on 3/1/25 was awesome. Our server (a nice young lady - I forgot her name :( ) was so kind and helpful. make your own bouquets & selfie studio was over the top. We've found "Our Place" for get togethers.“

“I Recommend their Classic Espresso Blend.“

“the people where very kind, the drinks where delicious, y ellos hablan en Español, Portuguese, y English! I love it! I'll definitely be back“

“Conveniently located on NJ-23 Palazzone 1960 is a great spot for Italian food and pastries. Oh and the coffee is also excellent.

Staff is so welcoming and attentive. Service was fast.

Location is small but it’s perfect. Means they focus on the customer they have. You don’t feel rushed.“

“Dear Able Baker I heart you , staff always super friendly, best cookies I’ve ever had ❤️🤗“
