50 Best Coffee Shops near Rumson

“My wife and I are on the #eatjersey challenge to have a meal in all 564 towns of NJ. We chose The French Market for Rumson, our 108th town.

This beautiful cafe is decorated in a chic manner for atmosphere. It makes a great backdrop for your Instagram pictures.

It is mostly designed for takeout, where all orders are taken at the counter. They have a limited number of tables to eat in the well-decorated space. However, all food is served in cardboard takeout boxes with plastic utensils, much like Chinese food. (That's not very French, and not very cafe-like either.) Given the way the cafe is decorated for folks who eat in, and in a well-to-do town like Rumson, I would have expected the option to eat on regular plates w/silverware.

With that being said... the food was EXCELLENT! We both got crepes. One with egg, ham, & swiss, and the other with egg, spinach, & feta. We shared an order of French toast which was made with brioche bread. The crepes were served on a bed of salad, and the French toast was accompanied by a fruit cup.

The cafe also has a selection of pastries and cheeses. We did not try any of these, but they looked good.

If you're looking for crepes-to-go to satisfy your itch for brunch, the French Market should be on your list.“

So we’ll be back while we’re here.“

Everything we ordered was delicious and Amanda was polite and servicial. She was very kind and considerate to mu husband who is hearing impaired. Our favorite options: pavo cuban sandwich, chai tea with ginger and honey, the combo breakfast, the Grand Toast and the omelet with shrimp.“

“My go to coffee spot whenever I visit Red Bank. The family I stay with try to take me to starbies and I MAKE THEM go to Rook. The staff were patient with my boomers who didn't understand the menu. I like that it's an in and out kinda place. Get your Joe and bounce! Rook crew, you RULE!!“

“Meghan when above and beyond for us we came here as a family of five with a 6-month-old and a 4-year-old and she couldn't have been better. Thank you so much for the amazing service the food was incredible and we had so much fun what a beautiful and fun spot will definitely be there again can't wait to see you again Meghan!“

“Manager Ali has done an amazing job of creating an atmosphere that is always warm and welcoming. Her staff is equally wonderful. It’s become an important hub for the community.
I don’t drink coffee but I get the 24 oz. green iced tea. It hits the spot for me and you can get a refill for about a buck more. I’ve also had the hand pies and they are a delicious treat.“

“This is the cutest location weve been to yet. Really friendly staff and awesome vibes coming from this place. there's nowhere to really chill but you shouldn't be hanging there for too long anyway because there's too much life to live outside“

“Adorable location and delicious selections of fresh coffee. Such a pleasure ☕️☕️“

“Big vibes for a little place. It was a great way to start my morning this morning, from the good mornings and positive and uplifting energy from the employees (from both Pat’s and Coffee Surf) to their breakfast sandwich and the BEST cup of Chai tea I have had in a while. I highly recommend both places.“

“My boyfriend and I both ordered hot coffee flavored coconut and summer smash. I also got a delicious vanilla bean scone.

I love the simplicity of their menu, that doesn't try to impress with endless options. Will definitely come back.“

“This is my closest local dunkin & we go through the drive-through almost every day. I have a serious matcha latte addiction & we prefer Dunkin’s drinks over the competition. Our lattes are always made perfectly & our food/snack orders are always as requested. Staff is professional, friendly& personable.I continue to order from this location. Thanks guys!

Vegetarian options: The humus or avocado toast with roasted sun dried tomatoes are favorites’

Parking: There is immediate parking in front, but this is a Large parking plaza (conveniently shared with Bay Shore Pharmacy, FoodTown Supermarket, Pomodoro Rosso Pizza, a dry cleaner, a liquor store and A sub shop) so you will always find parking near by.“

“Grandma Cheese is such a great café. The breakfast of sourdough and mozzarella is a personal favorite, and the coffee was so good. This is one of my favorite places to go. I think I am going to be ordering some of these mozzarella cheese items and cheesecake to deliver to my house so I can still get the amazing food to go. Thank you!“

“Rook’s mocha with oat milk and agave is hands-down the best coffee drink I’ve had. The espresso is bold but smooth, the chocolate is rich without being too sweet, and the oat milk adds the perfect creamy texture. The agave gives it just the right touch of natural sweetness without overpowering the flavors. It’s the kind of drink you crave again as soon as it’s gone. If you're into mochas or just want something new and delicious, this one’s a winner!“

“Damaris was a great waitress! Very cheery, amazing attitude, and overall a great person! Alongside that, the chicken was juicy, the Mac and cheese was perfect, and the Iced tea quenches your thirst with ease. I’d recommend this to everyone I know.“

“The food !! Everything is fresh & yums!! They also made corn pancakes ( don’t judge til you’ve had them 😊) not on the menu for myself & my bff!!“

“good DD Great place to chill.“

“Love this place and the folks who run it! Fresh food and great service every time! The French dip Sammy is THE BOMB!💣. The best👍“

“Nice employees friendly and eager to help“

“I love Starbucks this particular location is extremely busy and I think management needs more employees. I feel bad for the employees they look stressed and are running and working the hardest and the best they can. They are doing a great job for the amount of volume of customers coming in“

“I got a Dunkin' Donuts K cups at home I want to get“

“Barista's and management are great. Employees enjoy their job here.

Vegetarian options: Impossible sandwich, egg white bites, spinach feta wrap, protein boxes

Parking: Nice lot hard to get out of though

Kid-friendliness: Staff loves to see little kids“

“So amazed by the dream team at this Dunkin!To say the least I order my drinks VERY DIFFERENTLY, the team never has an issue with my requests and always makes my drinks exactly how I like and need.It’s so refreshing to come into a Dunkin and not having to argue with someone about why I need my drink a certain way for 20 minutes.I will only come here, I love the team !Thanks guys !!“

“I loved having a peaceful cup of coffee with my mom and little sister! I love the way you newly decorated this site! I love a lot of the people who work here! Hi Maria! God bless you all! Keep up the great works!“

“Amazing ive been coming here since i was a kid and they haven’t made any big diffrences it’s nostalgic.

Edit/ Also its was crazy of me not to add how great Booskerdoo’s Cookies are they are heavenly and they’re pretty big gourmet cookies I love booskerdo and I need to come more because their essence and smell is so good when you walk in!

Don’t get me started in their PB and J bars!“

“Wonderful brunch menu and great service (Thx Kaylee!) Made for an enjoyable Sunday!“

ordering just by listening to the beginning of our order. And, the order comes exactly with what we want, and we love it there.“

“America is Ready to run on dunkin“

“Parking: Parking is based on getting a commuter pass for Monmouth University students. If you park in commuter parking at the university, you must have a valid commuter parking pass because if not you will get a ticket.

Kid-friendliness: Kids can order here, however, this dunkin' donuts and specific is specifically for University students and staff

Wheelchair accessibility: There is a wheelchair accessible entrance on the rear side of student center“

“First time at Once Bitten and we will be back! So many choices of donuts! We bought the Red Bank, Strawberry lemonade, raspberry beret (I think that was the name) and another chocolate raspberry. All were delicious. Can’t wait to go back and try more flavors!“

“By far my favorite local Dunkin' donuts! It's always crowded, but they are very quick super friendly and always happy every single day. I honestly wouldn't go to a different one that was closer and more convenient for me just because the staff there is so nice. They've also never not had something I've asked for which is kind of rare a Dunkin' Donuts these days a nice to have a reliable option. As far as Dunkin' Donuts go, this is the number one Monmouth County location!

Kid-friendliness: It's a Dunkin Donuts you can definitely bring your kids in there lol.“

“I come to this Dunkin every day on the way to work. I get the same sandwich every day. In the past 3 months, my order has been completely wrong 2 times. The average is still very good, and I am very pleased with the drive-thru staff day after day, even if there is a mix up. I purposely pass by about 4 other DD's to come to this one.The only other statement I have is I get the Sweet Black Pepper Bacon Sandwich every day. The menu lists it as having white cheddar cheese, and maybe once a week it will have American cheese. But all-in-all, I'm happy with this location.“

“I love DUNKIN coffee. Asked clerk IF the coconut donut is a yeast and not a cake donut, I will buy it. She said it was a yeast donut. So i bought it. When I bit into it, it was NOT a yeast donut. Wasn't going to return it. I mentioned to her that there is a difference. She brushed me off and said it's close. I beg to differ. Some people don't care to educate themselves. Uggh.I ordered the sourdough grilled cheese. It was amazing!“

“Best bakery in the area, so many fresh choices. our favorites are the eclairs, crumb cake and cupcakes.“

“Great ice cream and friendly atmosphere! 5 stars!“

“We love Melonhead. Especially the Red Bank location 'cause it's much closer to us. It's convenient, cute, and quiet. The smoothies and bowls taste fresh and are always on point. Yesterday we met Alana who was highly exceptional and provided awesome customer service. I honestly thought she was this location's new manager. She was super friendly and is very devoted to her job. You guys are lucky to have her!? ?Update: I highly suggest more thorough customer service training with the young people who work here. Especially customer service training over the phone when talking to people.“
