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!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!“

“First time at Frappe Joe and it was soooo good the coffee was amazing. I got a turkey bacon egg and cheese bagel and omg just so good!! And their Raspberry Crumbcake. And I believe the owner who helped me bc I looked so lost was soo nice to me and figured out my coffee order and everything. Super nice staff and good food, coffee and pastry!“

“Loved the shroom sando and the cold brew“

“Never has a coffee shop been so consistently good as Jamesbrew. I've been stopping in occasionally since it opened and every single drink I've gotten has been perfect and served with a smile.

Especially the iced coffee. I've never understood the obsession. It gets watered down and flavorless so fast.

Until it got too hot and I finally ordered one here.

Buying coffee has always been a small luxury for me but now I come in often enough that at Jamesbrew they ask if I want my usual (currently the iced lavender latte).

The food is often... . The croissants have a nonstandard flavor and lack the flaky, buttery texture of a proper croissant. The vegan pistachio muffin was kind of flavorless. The empanadas and sandwiches are "fine" at best. The rest of the pastries are good.

But the coffee is what matters most. I don't even want to look at a Starbucks.

Cheers to all the friendly and polite baristas.“

“Been coming here for the better part of 6 months and easily now the only place I want my coffee from. Every drink is always awesome and the staff always take some time to chat with you. Everyone is super nice, friendly, and the coffee/pastries are always on point. Best coffee around!“

“Lovely place, very sweet people. Amboy açaí is a must try, delicious and healthy! One thing: I’m a matcha addict, please add Ceremonial Grade Matcha as an option to the menu even if you have to charge extra for that - its vibrant green and more flavorful, more healthy! Thanks ?“

“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!“

“locale molto bello ed elegante. cucina ottima. straconsigliato!“

“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!!“

“Great coffee and delicious breakfast/brunch food.“

“Love this place! It is pricy but they have amazing coffee and great food!“

“Went for the 1st time today and will 100% be going back! ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️“

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

“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.“

“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.“

“My family tried this spot for dinner tonight and wow! It was so good, and we ate everything. It was also very fairly priced.“

“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!!!“

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

“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. ?“

“The desserts and coffee at Pastry Lu are absolutely delicious and high quality. Over Thanksgiving, I enjoyed their apple pie which was magnificent and addictive. They always welcome you with a polite smile and when you look at all their desserts and pastries, you have to take your time because it’s hard to choose. You owe it to yourself to sit and eat your tasty delight there. They present your food and coffee in a beautiful wooden tray. It’s elegant and relaxing. I sat there today and felt as if I was in a European café. I had the strawberry cheesecake which was divine and the Mighty Mocha Hot Chocolate (a combo of coffee and hot chocolate). I added whip cream and fell in love with it. I’ll be going back. I had to refrain from getting two in a row. But this place is worth any extra holiday calories. I adore this bakery and am happy it’s in town. Also a great place to get a coffee or pastry on your way to the train since it’s right by NJ Transit. It’s perfect.“

“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!!!“

“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 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“One of my favorite bakeries from now on. Love the pastries, drinks and the crew service is very good as well.“

“Noice food noice iced tea.“

“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.“

“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!“

“This place is so good! New in Pitt“

“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.“

“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“

“I had an amazing experience at Paris Baguette, thanks to Monica!

She took care of every detail for my special birthday cake order, making sure it was exactly how I wanted. Her attention to detail and friendly service made the process smooth and enjoyable. The cake was not only beautiful but delicious—just perfect!

If you need a custom cake, I highly recommend Paris Baguette, and be sure to ask for Monica!“

“Wheelchair accessibility: Mostly accessible storefront. The curb cut to get on the side walk is a little steep, so beware of that. The door is not automatic, but does easily open, so you may be able to make it work. Entrance is flush with the concrete, the inside of the store is flat, with standing tables that would fit a wheelchair under. The counter and payment device is low enough that a wheelchair user can be seen, and pay without struggle.“

“Extremely filling and tasty bowls. Love the Trailblazer“

“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!“

“Awesome flavor. Great portion.“

“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.“

“Been here before Covid 19 protocols are being followed Takeout only Warmly greeted by staff Quick service“

“Muy buen servicio, la comida con el mejor sabor en New Jersey.“

“We received an item that was damaged during shipment. They initially offered to replace the part, but due to the machine they graciously agreed to return the item. The staff have been in constant communication n the return status. I would highly recommend using them for all high end coffee machine purchases.“

“Effes is one of the best hidden gems of New Brunswick. The coffee has me wondering where they source their beans from because it is so rich and flavorful. Have to give a shoutout to the barista Jules. The coffee she makes is consistently great and has never disappointed. Her service is outstanding and her energy perks everyone up. She is the reason Effes is my favorite New Brunswick Cafe.“

“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.“

“Your not so regular Vietnamese Restaurant. Foods are delicious and restaurant is spacious“

“Went around 7pm and they actually had sold out of munchkins but wasn’t the end of the world and the cashier said that she still had a few donuts left. She was very nice and she was very patient with us. Definitely recommend instead of the other Dunkin down the road.“
