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!“

“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!!“

“Visited this coffee spot for the second time recently and I absolutely loved my latte. 9/10 solid rating. It was either called a biscoff or cookie butter latte, but regardless it was one of their seasonal winter lattes.

The ambiance was cute and inviting. I’d come back and spend a couple hours here working. I ordered an empanada which could have been more warmed up, but overall it was fine tasting! For a local coffee spot, this place does a great job 🤍“

“Amazing Food and service !!“

“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“

“Koko Loko Coffee is such a calm little escape.
I had the pistachio latte and it was fantastic balanced, nutty, and not overly sweet.
The barista was warm and welcoming, which really adds to the overall vibe. Inside, it’s bright, minimal, and quietly buzzing, perfect for reading, working, or chatting without yelling over noise.
Loved the long communal tables and clean, modern décor. If you’re looking for a peaceful spot with great coffee, this place absolutely deserves a 5-star stop.“

“My wife’s birthday was this past week. The only thing she asked for was a cake from Turquoise! And that’s what she got. The fluffiest, sweetest Red Velvet cake and Cream Cheese. Decorated to perfection! I’m trying to post a photo or two but the app won’t allow it. Oh well… take my word for it. Delicious.“

“The coffee and staff is out of this world. The owner Rhawnie ensures a perfect cup of coffee and welcoming experience every single time and as does her staff. My favorite is the pistachio cake latte ! The puddings she makes are also AMAZING.“

“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!“

“Loved the shroom sando and the cold brew“

“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.

“Writing a book has always been considered the hardest task... until the moment of choosing between a sweet or savory breakfast at Cozy Cup! Deciding between the perfect egg white omelet and that fruit French toast was a challenge. Choosing both brought joy to the taste buds (and stomach). Now, fueled by deliciousness, the task of crafting a song about Uncle Matty's incredible story begins! It might just be my most delicious song yet! #CozyCupProblems #BreakfastDecisions #AuthorFuel #EggcellentChoices #FruitFanatic #UncleMattySong #JimFarrellAuthor“

“Great coffee and delicious breakfast/brunch food.“

“Lyberry Coffee is amazing with fresh, delicious food and seasonal coffees! The staff is very friendly and the atmosphere is welcoming and calm. Go enjoy!“

“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.“

“Hidden gem in Edison. CLO Coffee has amazing coffee and some of the best matcha I’ve had in the area. The space is calm, clean, and has a great vibe whether you’re trying to get some work done or meet up with friends. It’s the kind of spot you can sit in for a while without feeling rushed.

Ralph and Jen are amazing and super present business owners. You can tell they genuinely care about the space, the quality of what they serve, and the people who walk through the door. Quality drinks, great atmosphere, and a real community feel. Definitely worth checking out.“

“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.“

“As I run in to grab my order, I see the prized pistachio latte And think to myself: ‘Yup, it’ll definitely taste good’ Ps. Please bring the tiramisu latte back.“

“Yummy coffee and very kind staff. Highly recommend“

“Paris Baguette, the Edison location is my ultimate favorite place for taking time for a break, to relax, chat with friends. Welcoming and helpful staff. So many delicious pastries, and lunch items, but always get the lemon creme pastry, the chocolate stick pastry. Fav sandwich is the egg salad.
The creme cake slices are delicious and decorated so prettily. I don't drink coffee, but many hot beverages to choose from including tea. Come on in.“

“I had an amazing experience @The Market On Main .Now, under new ownership by a dear friend! The updated menu is a real treat, blending classic Greek flavors with exciting new twists. I tried the platter / Pita chips & Dips, plump chef and the veggie Reggie it was absolutely delicious—fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. The new desserts are a must-try. The vibe is warm and welcoming, perfect for a casual dinner . Service was friendly and attentive, and you can feel the love in everything they do. So proud of what they've built! Highly recommend stopping by if you're in the area. 💙#SupportLocal #GreekCuisine #ProudFriend“

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

“Great casual spot with a clean and cozy vibe. The food was flavorful and comforting, and the ingredients tasted fresh. Service was friendly and efficient. Definitely a solid place to grab a warm, satisfying meal. I’ll be back to try more.“

“This place has variety of Crepes options. It is inside the mall and not having sitting area to enjoy the food but customer service and variety makes it up for the space. They give some free stuff occasionally depending on your order. We went at the closing time but ladies made everything very graciously. 🙏“

“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!“

“I always drove past but never stopped in. Today I finally ordered a mobile drive thru order and picked it up and I was delightfully surprised. I ordered the “Fall Oat Boy” and the name alone was enough for me to love it but then I tasted it and YES. Moral of the story, please stop by.“

“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 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“Extremely filling and tasty bowls. Love the Trailblazer“

“I purchased a new Jura ENA 8 from 1st In Coffee. I'm absolutely delighted in every way! This machkne is a magical piece of technology. It makes all coffee drinks PERFECTLY. I have a Gaggia Classic and could never make an espresso drink as good as the Jura. AND its fully automatic. It's truly impressive. Before pulling the trigger, I called some dealers. I was most impressed by Jim at 1st.
He was polite, patient, and he answered all my questions. The machine arrived within a few days in 100% perfect condition. This is an authorized Jura dealer for the last 22+ years. I called Jura Inc. and they confirmed this. Jura Inc. wasn't anywhere near as helpful as 1st! The actual manufacturer! I feel comfortable dealing with this company and look forward to doing business with them again for coffee and supplies.“

“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.“

“The tacos were amazing. Portions were generous and everything tasted authentic.“

“I usually don’t write a lot of reviews for places but I honestly love this Starbucks so much and figured it was time to write one. My friend Despina and I come here extremely often. We love the atmosphere and people here, they are so so nice! The morning staff has always been friendly to us and welcomed us with a smile as soon as we came in. The afternoon staff is also extremely friendly as well :) I made friends with one of the baristas who remembers me every time I come in and they are always nice about everything when it comes to costumer service. I always love coming here, it’s my favorite part of my day!! Thank you to all the workers here who truly make this Starbucks a comforting place to be.“

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

“First visit to this cute little Cafe in Menlo Park Mall. I purchased the Avo madness which was okay. My other party ordered iced coffee of some sort and they were pleased. The lighting was nice and there was also seating. Customer Service was friendly and helpful. I would recommend“

“I can't speak for the other reviewers who said the pho was bland or premade. Sounds like a hater to be honest! I really enjoyed my meals at V-Town and the woman who worked at the register was very nice and friendly. So here's my review from an uncultured American:

Dining Experience:
V-Town's aesthetic has some cute wall decorations and the latest point of sale technology for paying with card or cash. However, the tables and chairs are typical of chinese takeout places. So this isn't a place with super fancy decorations or mood lighting, it's functional with some music in the background, cool wall decorations, and of course you have to have the toy cat that waves.

There is not a lot of staff here, which makes it seem like this is a very small operation. But the people who are working there clearly work very hard.

The Food:
So, I actually discovered V-Town on Doordash and it was super cold out so I wanted something to warm me up. I got the pho with the well done flank steak. Once on doordash and when I went in person.

When you order the pho, all of your veggies will arrive on a separate plate. So, you can choose to add as much or as little as you want. In some other places like Bravo Pho in PA, I believe everything comes in the bowl all at once.

Regardless, the flavor of the broth was wonderful, warm. The flank steak was succulent, and the vegetables tasted fresh. For my wife, this was her first time trying Vietnamese food so I got her the Banh Mi sandwich.

She loved the freshness of the carrots and cucumbers and really enjoyed the flavor of the pork protein. Also, I did get a brown sugar boba tea which my wife kept stealing from me.

Overall, I thoroughly enjoyed my meals from V-Town and look forward to introducing more friends and family to this place.“

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

“I usually never leave a review, but I have to leave a review for Paris Baguette at this location. The service is stellar, and the employees there are so knowledgeable so quick and so eager to help. This is my first time at Paris Baguette in store, and it won't be my last. Thank you for all your help!“

“Noice food noice iced tea.“

“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“

“todo es delicioso y buen servicio“

“My husband usually picks up my mobile orders for me, so I haven't had the pleasure to experience in-store service. But when I do receive my order, it is ALWAYS top tier! I have no complaints. I've been to other Playa Bowls and I'm very thankful this location is my local store. Keep up the great work!!“
