Coffee Shops near South River

“We were looking for Brasilian salgadinhos to snack on during the Copa 2024 Brasil game. We found a large assortment at Cafe Cirino.
It’s a small place, with tables. A surprisingly large menu, with lots of choices. Gabriela took our order, which was made on the spot and well packaged for the trip home.
Paid parking across the street.“

“a melhor padaria e Lanchonete Brasileira dos Estados unidos com os mrlhores Salgado e Pratos feitos“

“The doughnut with sprinkles and the coffee were very scrumptious!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!“

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

“A real gem — the only coffee shop in the area and absolutely worth the visit! Beautifully designed with great taste, a wide selection of delicious cakes and ice cream, and a super friendly staff. The Wi-Fi is stable (though a bit slow), and the music playlist is always on point. Solid 5 stars from me and my full recommendation!“

“The Grind is my favorite local coffee shop! I never miss an opportunity to tell my friends about it! The girls are always super sweet and my coffee or matcha are always 10/10! For a coffee shop in Tottenville I also feel like the prices are reasonable! Only downside is that the parking can sometimes be difficult if it's a school day.“

“I recently visited Koko Loko cafe in New Brunswick and had the pleasure of trying their Pistachio Latte and Caramel Latte. While both drinks were enjoyable, the Pistachio Latte truly stole the show.

The Pistachio Latte was perfectly balanced, with a rich, nutty flavor that wasn’t overly sweet but still indulgent. It had a creamy texture that complemented the espresso beautifully, making every sip an absolute delight. It’s one of those drinks that leaves you wanting more even after the last drop.

The Caramel Latte was good as well, with a classic sweetness and smooth finish, but it didn’t quite compare to the unique and standout flavor of the Pistachio Latte. If you’re deciding between the two, I’d highly recommend going for the pistachio—it’s a game changer!

The ambiance of the shop was cozy, and the service was friendly and efficient. I’ll definitely be returning to try more of their menu, but the Pistachio Latte is already a favorite.

5/5 stars for the Pistachio Latte alone!“

“Loved the shroom sando and the cold brew“

“Amazing Food and service !!“

“Fabulous trendy coffee shop with a warm, inviting atmosphere! The comfy chairs make it the perfect spot to relax. I had a delicious latte with oat milk—so creamy and flavorful. I also tried the avocado, halloumi, and eggs on toast with mushrooms, and it was absolute perfection. Highly recommend and definitely put this on the list to visit !“

“Had a late breakfast at Lyberry Coffee Co. while visiting family in the area. Wonderful experience. The barista was very welcoming and assisted us through the extensive menu. The coffee and food (classic avocado toast) were extraordinary! Atmosphere was very cozy and relaxed. All aspects were well thought out, right down to the availability of glass bottles filled with water. A nice touch. Will definitely go back when back in the area.“

“I love the Cozy Cup ! The owner is so friendly, the service is great !

“Penstock is great. Their tea is awesome and it always hits the spot. Also, the staff is very helpful and down to Earth.“

“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!!“

“An Episode of the Podcast Local neighborhood experts Sharon and Kyle was filmed here 1/8/25 at California Cold Co in Brick NJ. Upon first entering this chic coffee shop, you can’t help but noticing the stylish trendy muted palettes, industrial ceiling and altogether sophisticated atmosphere. The key elements are clean lines, uncluttered space, and focus on natural elements. The star of the show the coffee. My co-host Kyle and I stayed with the traditional coffee with a shot of espresso and cold brew, however, there are endless specialty coffee drinks to choose from as we were leaving. We were offered a complimentary avocado toast, which was delicious. If you’re looking for Instagrammable photos and modern space look no further than California Cold Co. in Brick New Jersey.

“Great coffee and delicious breakfast/brunch food.“

“I love this cozy spot in the main downtown of South Amboy. Their coffee and breakfast sandwiches are good, which is exactly what I needed. The Java Dave's special is my perfect order with pork roll (or bacon), egg and cheese with a hash brown. The girls working there are very sweet and attentive. Check it out if you're in the area.

Parking: There's street parking, but you normally don't have to park far if you can parallel park.“

“It was my first time there, and the lady who identified herself as the owner (Kelly) was very pleasant and helpful. She took her time explaining the drinks and their ingredients to me. I left there with 3 orders??‍♀️. The drinks were so good. Directions from Google were confusing. If you know the area, Highland Bubble Tea is on the opposite end of the bridge where Jersey Boys Pizza is located.
It can be tricky if you don't know the area. It's almost across from the new Performing Arts Center in Avenel! So, if you're looking at the PAC from Avenel St., in Avenel, Highland Bubble Tea is on your left side, across the street b4 going down the bridge. Lots of drinks and tasty snacks to enjoy. I didn't give it 5 stars because of the parking and the difficulty in finding it. Enjoy!!!“

“Had the best time! The employees gave great recommendations on what to drink when I couldn’t make up my mind. They made the experience very personal and cozy. I really appreciated it after a long day at work honestly. Coffee was pretty good and the atmosphere overall was great. Love the decor.“

“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.“

“I love their chai. I've been here a few times, and have had my fair share of chai at the "trendy" spots, and will say this is definitely up there. Their desserts are pretty great as well. I'd definitely recommend this spot for anyone wanting great desi chai. ?“

“Don’t let any of the haters who gave this place a low review score fool you, the place is the BEST! Great coffee, amazing variety and I’ve tried almost everything on the menu and it is all DELICIOUS! Instead of wasting your money on nasty DD, come in and try this amazing café!!!“

“the staff is excellent nahum end sulma yarixa the guy who helps you select the food for the bowl is amazing. also the manager at night is also very sweet! great environment! food is amazing. they also have specials and also can get points. the service is above and beyond“

“Nice atmosphere. Both pictures groups. I love Pink floyd beetles“

“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!“

“Cute, dainty shop with your standard boba drinks. The workers were extremely friendly and patient! I got two refreshing fruity drinks. I like the star shaped chewy toppings — made the drink fun to consume. Perfect for a hot day!

Plenty of free parking out front.“

“Best place to start your day❤️“

“My family and I flew to Nj to visit a Buddhist temple for a day and decided to come here for lunch. 10/10 service, atmosphere, and food. The staff was very courteous, the music was perfect volume, and the food was great! If we ever visit Philly/NJ again we are definitely hitting this place again!“

“Extremely filling and tasty bowls. Love the Trailblazer“

“Awesome flavor. Great portion.“

“I’ve been to this location a couple times and each time the employees have been really kind to me. The cakes are always delicious and their treats always look gorgeous! The place was clean and welcoming. If you haven’t gone to this place before, give it a try.“

“OMG... Thank goodness a true Diner has arrived! Moved to Morgan's Bluff 4 yrs ago and I was so disappointed with the Ocean diner. If you can't make a good breakfast or a decent hamburger, you're useless to me as a diner! Guiseppe and son Sergio have already made a name for themselves by serving awesome tasting food in abundance, great service in an immaculate and friendly environment. Love the way they come to each table to see if all is good...making you feel comfortable like they've known you forever!! Keep up the good work. Buena fortuna!“

“Billy, le barrister is amazing as is the other barrister, sorry didn't catch his name! Coffee, pastries, donuts and atmosphere is fabulous. Customer service is unbeatable, thank you ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“Tiny location, packs a pearl.... comedy. ?I love their Thai Tea Boba and their waffles are amazing ?? whether you like croffles or their house made (?) batter. All smoothies I've had have been delicious as well as their Dolgona(hope I'm spelling that right) coffee boba! SUPPORT THIS BUSINESS??tons of parking btw!“

“Clean environment, prompt service. I’m not from Hong Kong or Guangdong but I do like the food here. The casserole is really good.

Parking: There seems to be only two (non-accessible) parking spots in front of the restaurant.“

“I am very happy I took a chance on sunmerry. I’ve had sunmerry in Taiwan, and the products were very good there.

I ordered a taro pudding cake, and sunmerry delivered. The cream was light and airy, and not heavy/oily(like the frosting on the cakes at Paris baguette). The taro was actual taro paste, and the pudding was not overwhelming. It was the first time I finished a slice of cake with the frosting altogether.

I can’t wait to try more of their other cakes!“

“Hands down the best pho in NJ. Best staff. Just go!“

“Hood food and a great staff! Located in what is about to become a very impressive town village

Kid-friendliness: More than welcome

Wheelchair accessibility: They have an ADA Compliant sidewalk and entrance“

“After an average lunch at the Food court of Menlo Park Mall we were looking for a nice coffee place that offered a sit down and good coffee. WE bypassed Starbucks and found this location adjacent. Very polite owner and great coffee sitting on comfortable chairs. Highly recommend as a nice independent location serving excellent coffees and other drinks.“

“I was in the market for a new coffee machine with timer settings and the ability to make a very good, consistent pot of coffee. I called 1st In Coffee and spoke to their customer service department and was given multiple choices of what I could purchase. I picked one and received it the next business day via UPS. It was a piece of cake to set up and it worked perfectly and did exactly what I wanted. I was very happy with the service I received and would definitely do business with these guys again.“

“The store is small but exquisite
I really like this colorful little shop
The store clerk is also very warm and friendly 😆
Good food made by passionate people tastes better too
The rice that looks like its grains are actually so fragrant
Türkiye is an Islamic country
Because I can’t eat pork🐽
Meats are mainly beef, mutton, and chicken
Tried the mutton skewers and chicken and it was very delicious (because I don’t eat beef)
Yogurt and Tomato BBQ is a mouth-watering dish
Be sure to order their desserts
Ordered rice pudding and baklava
I think the pudding made from rice must be tasteless.
The result tasted so dense and refreshing😳I was really surprised
Baklava is perfect for ants with a sweet tooth
It tastes like warm mille-feuille with pistachio sauce on top
Very delicious! ! But I don’t dare to eat too much because it’s too sweet🤣
Thanks to the boss for buying us many cups of tea and Turkish coffee
It tastes great with Turkish Delight“

“whoever just made my drink deserves a raise because i’ve been getting brown sugar shaken espressos for years and this one was unreal. i always add lots of ice and just top it with oat milk because that’s how it used to be served back in 2021. more recently i feel like they always put too much milk and u cant rly taste the espresso but this time omg this drink is giving me life. sorry for being dramatic i’m just rly happy rn“

“Great my favorite place to get the Boba tea“

“I recently discovered Good Vibes Cafe in Fords, NJ, and it has quickly become our go-to spot. John and Angelica, the owners, create an atmosphere that is not only friendly but genuinely welcoming. Every visit feels like a warm, positive experience. My son and I have spent countless enjoyable hours at the cafe, often hanging out with their wonderful daughter Jade. The teas and shakes are a delight, offering a refreshing and diverse selection. The ambiance is just perfect for relaxing and unwinding. And let's talk about the donuts – they are out of this world! The flavors are unique, and the freshness is unbeatable. Each bite feels like a little piece of heaven. Good Vibes Cafe is more than just a place to grab a drink or snack; it's an experience filled with warmth, great company, and, of course, fantastic treats. If you're in Fords, NJ, do yourself a favor and soak in the good vibes at this exceptional cafe.“
