50 Best Coffee Shops near Union Beach

“Not sure what the young lady's name was but she should be working for me. She was polite, attentive and pleasant. Her manager alerted her that I was at the counter and she was instantly to give me additional napkins and salt for my fries.“

“Great coffee by the pour over aficionado. Brew has many choices in coffee flavors that will satisfy your pallet.“

“Amazing food, i got the chicken and waffles and it was so good definitely reccomend!!!“

“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.“

“Amazing bakery, delicious food and coffee and beverages in general. The atmosphere is so cute. The people are super super kind and sweet and you feel very welcomed when you walk into the bakery. This will definitely be my go to spot, I would rather support turquoise, bakery and café over any Starbucks or any other coffee shop!“

“Yummy coffee options, sandwiches and pastries! Trendy relaxed vibe. Will definitely be back!“

“I’ve been about 5 times so far and LOVE Emelio’s! The food is fresh and delicious and the portions generous. Even their simple side salad is something special - delicious, light dressing. And the service is great, which is hard to come by these days. It’s clearly a family-run place where Everyone cares about the quality. Also impeccably clean!“

“best in the biz! coffee 🔥, sandwiches 🔥, ambiance 🔥“

“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!!“

“I’ve been trying to go to Coffee Corral for a while. Finally made it today. It was so relaxing to grab a coffee and listen to live music on a sunny autumn day. I definitely will be back.“

“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.“

“Such a cute place. Counter guy very friendly. Great smoothies..will definitely be my to go place for coffee“

“I have dined here multiple times. The food is always great as is the service. The restaurant has a cute vibe, however the last few times I have eaten here the restaurant has been extremely dirty. The silverware is not clean and the tables and floors are not clean. The tables nearby remain uncleared for the duration of our dining. I want to keep dining here, but it really needs to be better kept.“

“I'm a regular here and it's always a pleasant experience. It's one of two locations that I frequent most and since I'm traveling throughout the day and night depending on the day of
Week I know I can depend on them to be open and prepared to serve! Every one of the employees are friendly, kind and considerate working quickly and efficiently in a timely fashion** plus side**it's always nice to be greeted by a smiling face ..a hard working employee who actually puts effort into the job aiming to please the customer not always the case at
Other locations or in general . My only complaint here: the surroundings the environment is run down and looks dirty ...hardly appealing to new residents or potential customers coming thru the neighborhood would be easily turned off by the way the atmosphere is kept and the lack of nicely kept landscaping - esthetically investing in A major overhaul and some system of cleanliness of the drive thru area would be extremely helpful and ideal. If you go elsewhere you find this to be less an issue. Thank you to all the staff members who do the job well and have been apart of my day in a big way...a friendly hello, and getting my order right is not a lot
To ask for and truly makes my day! ?“

“Owners are super nice and the service was quick and kind! Very nice place to go to eat some yummy halal food with mexican addition to it! I got the mango smoothie and it was thick and yummy! Korean corndog too as well as the chipotle chicken salad“

“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!“

“Such a great little place!“

“Yummy!! Love the speciality donuts!!“

“My husband and I had breakfast here yesterday. It was our first time at Rise n Shine and we loved it!!! Great food and service. Our new favorite restaurant.“

“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!“

“Best rainbow cookies on the island!“

“I tried the iced latte with oat milk, it was sooo good, really enjoyed my morning coffee. I posted a video on TikTok and mentioned you ✨.
Unfortunately it's so far from where I live, hope you guys open in the Brunswick area 😞 just checked the closest location is 30 mins away 😞.“

“Perfection is an understatement. Kudos!“

“Tried matcha almond milk latte and it was way tooo sweet… idk if their milk is oversweetened or the matcha powder comes w sugar. But it tasted so unhealthy, as if I had 5 teaspoons of sugar in it. However the girls baristas were nice and seemed kind!“

“People so rude to leave this awesome place less than 5stars. The workers are so friendly and the coffee is OUTSTANDING. Yes I was so tempted to jump over the counter and eat every bakery item on display 😋 . Lol jk ……seriously I did think about it. Wish we had a place like this south Jersey ❤️“

“Great coffee and service. 2nd time in two days.“

“Such a wonderful place everyone is so nice. The coffee tea and foods are fantastic. A wonderful place to stop in and grab a delicious bite.“

“Great coffee, nice variety of syrups for lattes, and the best cinnamon scones of all time! Bonus: operated by a cute, funny, nice couple. Ditch the Dunkin, go to KCC!“

“Finally, Keansburg gets a great place to get coffee! The Customer Service is wonderful. The two women that work there are genuine and kind. The coffee is delicious and my favorite is the coconut cold brew. Aside from that I’ll typically get a Nutella strawberry scone, which is out of this world. Even if you’re not in the area coming to pass through is definitely a good idea.“

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

“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👍“

“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!“

“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!!“

“Absolutely the best coffee on the market today !!! The customer service is amazing.“

“Had breakfast at Johnnys this morning. Great sandwich, good prices and got to me Johnny. Five stars“

“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!“

“Nice employees friendly and eager to help“

“Extremely filling and tasty bowls. Love the Trailblazer“

“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.“

“I almost don’t want to write a glowing review because I don’t want it to become *too* popular that I can’t go here for a perfectly relaxing little quiet escape in the middle of the day - but I have to. The staff is friendly, the atmosphere is just right, and the coffee is delicious!“

“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!!“

“It's a good place to have coffee and relax.“

“Great food- Savannah was great! Will be back!“

“Just the best little coffee shop around! I'm not a big coffee guy, but they have an Malt Cold Brew that I get with oat milk that is heavenly and surprisingly doesn't give me the jitters like so many others do. Other times, their Iced Matcha Latte (also with oat milk) is just the right amount of refreshing that I need when stumbling into work there at Bell Works. But, if I'm really being honest, it is the staff there that keeps me coming back each day I work from the office. I feel like Norm from Cheers when I walk in, greeted by name with my customary order already on its way to being made and I don't even need to give them my name or phone number for the loyalty program, such is their attention to customer service. Do yourself a favor and stop by and tell them Gary sent you.“

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

“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.“

“America is Ready to run on dunkin“

“Yummy sandwich and coffee oh and donuts!“

“Wow! From the first time I took a bite out of the mix dozen bagels I bought I knew I have found the perfect bagel. Great staff, clean and a delicious variety of coffee.“
