50 Best Coffee Shops near Union Beach

“My cousin just moved to the area, and we truly love how convenient all the shopping is, especially this McDonald's. The staff is always so nice, the food is consistently piping hot, and anytime there's an issue or we need a little extra of anything, they're always willing to help.
I really want to thank the management and all the workers here. Great job, guys! And by the way, your vanilla lattes are the best!!“

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

“I go here multiple times a week. The owner is always very nice and the place is so inviting. Sometimes I order pickup and sometimes I bring a friend to have coffee and lunch. It’s the greatest spot. Highly recommend the ruby turkey sandwich. I’m very thankful they have gluten free bread. 🥰🥰“

“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.“

“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.“

“Took the dog to the animal hospital nearby and stopped in for a cappuccino. I was impressed with the operation, and the different type of coffees and preparations. Definitely a great place for coffee.“

“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!“

“Such a small, cute cafe but seriously amazing coffee. I tried their iced caramel macchiato and a couple of their specialty drinks, and everything was so good. You can tell they really care about the quality. The vibe is cozy and welcoming.. definitely a spot I’d come back to again. Highly recommend if you’re in the area!“

“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!“

“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.

“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.“

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

“Coffee! Love that it’s near my home and convenient Drive thru!“

“Yummy coffee and very kind staff. Highly recommend“

“Yummy!! Love the speciality donuts!!“

“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!“

“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.“

“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.“

“THE BREAKFAST AND LUNCH (FOOD OVERALL) IS AMAZING!!! WOW, THE BEST I'VE HAD IN CENTRAL JERSEY. EVERYTHING IS COOKED TO PERFECTION. THIS WAS MY FIRST TIME HAVING THEIR BREAKFAST AND LUNCH AND THIS PLACE HAS WON ME OVER. IM VERY PICKY WHEN IT COMES TO A GOOD BREAKFAST, THIS PLACE HAS FULFILLED MY NEEDS. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND AND WILL REVISIT TIME-TO-TIME. SO GLAD I FINALLY FOUND A PLACE I LIKE. 🙌“

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

“They did a great job on a custom cake. Fair price, pretty and tasty.“

“Been going here since it opened, as a great place to sit in the sun outdoors, or inside at the various seating options. Fine coffee, great service from long time friendly staff members here, and a top place for casual meetings on the West Side of Red Bank. Limited but tasty food options.“

“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.“

“When you want the best ���“

“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.“

“Extremely filling and tasty bowls. Love the Trailblazer“

“We were walking through Historic Richmond Town, hungry, not really expecting much, and ended up at Main Street Coffee. Glad we did.

Got the chicken quesadilla, sweet potato fries, and a green tea lemonade. The quesadilla was greasy, not gonna lie, but in the way you actually want it to be. Filling, flavorful, packed. Sweet potato fries were crispy on the outside, soft on the inside, and seasoned just right. And the green tea lemonade? Didn't expect it to be that good. Refreshing, balanced, a little sweet, a little earthy. Could've had two.

The place itself just works. Old wood tables, sunlight coming through the windows, that lived-in feel you can't fake. Staff were friendly and chill, no rushing us, no overdoing it.

One of those spots that doesn't try too hard and doesn't have to. Definitely coming back.“

“Perfection is an understatement. Kudos!“

“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👍“

“I’m in love with this location, the baristas are amazing and I’ve never had a bad experience here. My favorite baristas name is Elita, not only does she make a perfect drink every time I order she is kind, compassionate, works at a good pace and is a beautiful person, as all of the workers are, I only remember Elitas name right now. Forgive me 💕💕“

“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 place. Our order was ready in a few minutes. The place gave us ocean beach vibes and we had the pleasure of having who I assume was the owner come and give our daughter some stickers which she was excited to receive. Can’t wait to come back.“

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

“Ray and Jay are some of the sweetest people in all of Keyport“

“Just want to say they NEVER disappointed. Never too sweet or too bitter. All the drinks I’ve tried so far have been amazing and they have a wide variety on their menu. The staff is always very polite and smiling. I love stopping by here everytime I’m in the area.“

“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.“

“Came here for a morning cup of joe. Good medium roast iced coffee for me and the Turkish coffee for my friend. We enjoyed our coffees, the Turkish coffee has a great cardamom aroma. Friendly and quick service. There's no seating so take your coffee and walk around town.“

“Customer should be serced according to how long they are waiting I was Waiting to pick up patiently , more customers came in after me and they are bing served first because they are in front of the register? Meanwhile I have been waiting probably 5 minutes before that person. Bad habit.“

“Yummy sandwich and coffee oh and donuts!“

“A passionate owner is the first step to a successful business and you have that here. Great pork roll and coffee is a plus. Highly recommend this place.“

“This is a beautiful store run by very nice people. They helped me out with 3 beautiful boutiques and Godiva chocolates because I'm last minute for everything and it was Easter and I forgot to pick something up for the amazing women in my family. Thank you so much all your help.“

“This was soooo freaking tasty 😋 I was shocked, impressed and absolutely blown away with Hands of royalty that made me this Devine drink .
I am so happy right now it tastes sooooo freaking sexy omggg yessss . I will see yall new year's for the discounted merchandise but I will be back for a another cup of gold soon. until then stay super riders.“

“I actually had to take the time to give this place a five star review because I was so impressed by their service, atmosphere And friendliness. The staff that was working this morning was absolutely amazing and truly are the reason I will continue to come back to this one even though I am a Hazlet resident and used to go to THE ONE in Hazlet, but stopped a while ago because the staff and attitude there is so absolutely horrific. I left them a review today also just because it showed me how disappointing their location is and that they should really go to the Cliffwood location and be trained by them. Even the coffee was better. Five star review across the board!“

“First time here and won't be the last. The ice cream was so good. The only problem with the ice cream was which flavor to choose. every one we tried was so good.“

“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.“
