50 Best Coffee Shops near Scotch Plains

“Black Drop Coffee in Scotch Plains is such a great spot to sit quietly and get some work done or catch up with a friend over coffee. The vibe is calm and easy, and their cold brew is perfect when you just want to grab something quick and go. ☕✨“

“I recently visited the Dunkin located in Scotch Plains, NJ, and I had a mixed experience that I'd like to share.First and foremost, the customer service I received was outstanding. When I walked in, it was evident that the guy behind the counter was working alone, yet he managed to handle everything efficiently. He greeted me with a warm smile and was quick to take my order, making sure I got exactly what I wanted. Despite the rush, he remained attentive and patient, which greatly enhanced my visit.However, my positive experience took a hit when I needed to use the restroom. Unfortunately, it was not in the best condition. It was evident that a previous customer had left it in a messy state, which was disappointing. I expected a higher level of cleanliness, especially considering the great service I had received at the counter.I understand that accidents happen, but maintaining restroom cleanliness should be a priority for any establishment. This aspect of my visit left a bit of a sour taste in my mouth, as it detracted from the overall positive impression I had of the Dunkin location.In conclusion, while the customer service at this Dunkin in Scotch Plains, NJ, was top-notch, I hope the management can pay more attention to restroom cleanliness to ensure a consistently pleasant experience for all customers. I'll still return for their delicious coffee and donuts, but I hope to see improvements in this area in the future.“

“I like this coffee, where can you get it in Canada?“

“My wife and I have our Dunkin date (with the dog) each weekday morning. The staff literally treats us like family. They are kind, fun, and generous.

They even keep fresh lemons in stock (all year long) for my wife’s iced tea. They are the only D&D that still provides fresh lemons!!

We are huge fans!“

“This McDonalds was very clean and has been modernized. They have an order kiosk, which I did not use, but the food was delivered quickly to my table. The Big Mac was tasty, but maybe a bit too much sauce which made it a little messy. But, overall, about as good a McDonalds experience as you can have.“

“Love it!!� ����������“

“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! ❤️“

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

“We stopped in at the cafe while visiting the area. The staff was very friendly and they were helpful in making recommendations. We enjoyed a delicious and strong Freddo Cappuccino, along with a couple of their mini Greek cheese pies. Would definitely come back!“

“Great location great business grade coffee downtown , Cranford the best“

“What a nice addition to our town! beautiful, calming environment and food is delicious! owner is such a sweet heart! would love to go again!Definitely recommend!“

“I go there once a month to see my friend The Doms play there! Super clean, friendly, and occasionally the dog “Bronco” is there! He’s the sweetest dog ever! But definitely a friendly atmosphere! Highly highly recommend! Even if it’s just for a coffee, tea, or latte.. they have it! “The house of coffee crack!”“

“I ordered a maple cold brew with pistachio cold foam from their winter menu and a few donuts. It was all delicious!“

“I love having a Dominican bakery so close. Everything we’ve had there has been FABULOUS!!! Honestly, some of the best coconut macaroons I have ever had and that includes ones I’ve had in DR. I had a coconut tree leches cake, and a strawberry short cake cup, which were both out of this world. The cold brew is so good, and the pumpkin sauce is on point. They’re also super friendly. Next time I need to try the pastelitos (empanadas).“

“Saw this gorgeous little boutique in the mall, and I had to stop in!
The presentation of the chocolates and gelatos are eye catching and organized. I love the displays for Easter and chocolate eggs are my favorite!! Especially the mini Lampone eggs. I grabbed many mix & match chocolates along the wall which are paid by weight. The employee named Angel was very kind and helpful explaining all of the options and recommending gelato flavors which made making a decision much easier for me.
I chose a gourmet baby cone with pistachio and it was scooped to perfection! I will be back for more soon :)“

“Cozy setting and great service. Really enjoyed popcorn chicken. We ordered a lot of drinks for the family last minute unfortunately but they were able to make sure everything fit in the bag and if it didn't they gave a small bag with the extra drink to carry.“

“I’ve went here before a couple times and the coffee and staff is always the sweetest. But today me and my coworkers ordered delivery but we work in the north shore completely on the other side of the island and the drinks and pastries still came out amazing. Weren’t watery at all and for the signature drinks I think the price range is pretty good! Also gave us a stamp card for the amount of drinks we ordered. Very nice“

“Today I came in and ordered a simple small coffee, and usually I just grab and go. But I was met with a beautiful smile and great conversation by Egypt. I haven’t had the experience I had today in awhile. You can tell she’s amazing by showing much care with the drinks and customer service. It was like talking to a friend instead of a stranger. Def will be coming back just to hopefully see her again!“

“A convenient shop to purchase fresh roasted beans. 🫘 their beans make an excellent cup of coffee.“

“Amazing Food and service !!“

“Not being from the area (South Jersey), I've wanted to try LeGrand Coffee House for quite a while now. So on a trip up to NY a couple days ago, we finally got the chance to stop in on our way up the Parkway. This place is amazing! This beautifully-decorated coffee house had some of THE best coffee I've ever had in my entire life. I got TWO lattes while I was there (a French Vanilla and a Honey Almond). My family and I also got the chicken pesto sandwich, and it was absolutely delicious. My daughter had an iced chai tea latte and loved it. DEFINITELY get to this place if at all possible! Two thumbs up!!“

“Too damn good. I been searching for a local cafe to replace these greedy corporate ones and found this little gem. This is my third visit so that says something. The staff is always super friendly and personalable. Even met the owner and she’s super sweet! Her coffee creations are so creative and pretty and tastes so damn good as I mentioned previously. The vibe will feel so nostalgic especially for my fellow millennials. And they also put a cute little inspo message on the lid of the cup. It’s the cutesy details for me. Highly recommend!“

“Great spot for coffee and the owners are super friendly.“

“I had one of their custard tarts and a Nutella filled donut from their stand at the Summit Farmers Market this past Sunday. The tart was delicious. But that donut! HOLY DELICIOUSNESS! Off the charts dynamite 🧨. Fluffy, soft, sugary and an appropriate amount of Nutella filling. I’m in loooove. SoCal, to me, has a lock on donuts. I have found my Cali donut hookup! Thank you“

“The Morning Roast is incredible! Alex and Sean truly care about their craft and making sure your experience is authentic and enjoyable. The coffee is genuinely the best coffee I’ve ever had. Alex’s love for what he does is infectious and his knowledge of coffee is unmatched. It can get a little crowded from time to time but 100% worth the wait. You will not be disappointed.“

“I have to say, this spacious and very comfortable coffee house was such a great find. There are plenty of options to choose from—food, pastries, smoothies, and coffee—and my latte was made to perfection. The only small suggestion I’d have is to add a bit of background music. The space was very quiet, and while waiting for my food, it felt just a little uneasy. Overall, still a really enjoyable experience.“

“My family and I dropped by this place and we felt at home. The service is amazing with Mr Anshul. The place is new, clean with a cozy and friendly atmosphere. The coffee is great and the service is quick. We have a great experience with our dine in. A beautiful place to hang out!!!!“

“Brewed Awakening is the perfect spot for breakfast, brunch, or lunch. The food is consistently delicious, and some of my favorites include the BLT Sandwich (always made to perfection), the omelettes, and their Apple Caramel Butter Latte—a delightful seasonal treat. I first discovered the latte through a social media post a few weeks ago, and now Brewed Awakening has become my go-to spot every Sunday for a relaxing meal. The service is always warm and welcoming. Annie, the owner, often makes an appearance on the floor, either serving or checking in with guests to ensure they’re enjoying their visit. Her kindness and genuine hospitality make the experience even more special. I highly recommend stopping by Brewed Awakening for a delicious meal and a cozy, inviting atmosphere. You won’t be disappointed!“

“I love their salmon toast. One of my favorites. Great coffee menu.“

“Loved this cute little place!!! My daughter and I were out and about, and wanted to get some coffee, but not from the regular “chain” coffee shop, so after a quick search, we headed to Metuchen. We were lucky enough to get parking right outside, and walked in to be pleasantly surprised by the esthetic vibe. Everything was super clean, and we were greeted right away by the super friendly employee. My daughter ordered a cappuccino and I got iced coffee. We also got a cheese and pesto savory pastry and a passion fruit and coconut tres leches dessert. Everything was delicious!!!!! Thanks for the enjoyable experience. We will definitely return.“

“Great coffee and nice people. This would become my go-to each morning if they were open at 5 AM.“

“Love this place!“

“By far the best pastéis de nata I’ve ever had! Thanks for bringing us a little taste of Portugal. Can’t wait to try the bifanas🇵🇹🇵🇹“

“Very and happily impressed with this restaurant. Service, food and presentation were excellent. Highly recommended.“

“I bought a cake for my friend's anniversary today, but unfortunately, it got ruined when I hit the brakes hard on my way out of the parking lot. Since it was entirely my fault, I went back to the store just to ask if I could get a discount on a new one. But to my surprise, they were incredibly kind and offered to exchange it for a new one for free! I was so deeply touched!! I know every staff in here is always kind and helpful, but I especially want to thank Damaris and Sury for helping me out with this early this morning 🫶. Thank you so much, and see you again soon!“

“Pana House Restaurant is a fantastic spot for Venezuelan food! I had the pabellón, which was delicious with tender shredded beef, black beans, rice, and fried plantains. The Venezuelan sample platter was also great, featuring tasty arepas, empanadas, and tequeños. The atmosphere is welcoming, and the staff is friendly. Definitely recommend checking it out!“

“Awesome customer service with the best coffee!!! they care about coffee art. they started making mine one day and it wasnt coming out right so he made it over to perfection! 1st class service!! I travel over 15 min to get this coffee.“

“Me and my friends when on a Saturday morning and we loved it. We were a group of 6. The waitress that helped us was super nice and friendly. She helped us set the table for the group. She speaks English and Spanish. The food was a 10/10. We had the avocado roast, omelettes, French toast and the tiramisu toast. Everything was amazing. The place is a little small for large groups but the ambience is five stars. I’ll definitely visit again.“

“Been here a few times, their coffee is delicious, especially their nitro! And the owner is a special ed teacher, and really nice. I hear they're getting their food license soon!“

“Ammmmmmazing! I’ve been a loyal customer from the beginning and they always hit the mark! Love seeing new stuff and always always always friendly faces with 5 star coffee!!“

“We were there around 2:10 on Sunday, Dec 7. the girl working then she was so polite and so sweet and stunning. Just giving the time so you know who she is — she was great. The coffee was excellent too! the place is very pretty as well it was my first time trying there coffee and I loved it“

“This was my first time here and I had waiter Amir and he was making great recommendations and was happy to help make sure I was pleased. When I tell you he’s the life of the establishment!!! He never MISS!! Always make sure everything is correct, Always has a smile on his face when he takes our order, and I love his jokes. He puts a smile on my kids and I face everytime I see him. Even when he’s not my waiter I definitely will come back just to ask for him to be our waiter 100%.“
