11 Best Coffee Shops in Newark

“This is my go to local stop with my girls. No other place compares to Rolls. The staff treats you kind and are always welcoming. They greet you when you pull up to the speaker. Ask how you are. Something that is lacking in most drive thru experiences. Most places just say “order when ready” or “what can I get you”. Nothing personal. At Rolls you get that family feel. Their rolls are outstanding especially when heated for a few seconds. The long johns beat any in Licking County. Simply because the cream in them is light and very whipped. Not heavy and greasy. The oatmeal cream pies are also one of my favs. Honestly I have never had anything bad from there. The lattes are tasty as well. I have never tried the bagels but my friend says they are awesome so I’ll be getting one next time. Give them a try the next time you “roll” into town 😉 You won’t be sorry. They are a great small family owed business that strives to please each customer. I wish them nothing but the best!“

“I went when it first opened and they were very nice and the coffee was good , nice price as well. they just donated abunch of coffees and drinks to the new Newark Alternative High School and everybody enjoyed them including teachers. Thank you so much for supporting us!“

“Great vibes and the biscuits and gravy make your soul Happy“

“Thank you for carrying gluten free items in your pastry case! They were a life saver for my daughter who was on her way to a doctor appointment and forgot to grab breakfast.“

“I would like to start by saying that I have been a server for close to 18 years, so perhaps I am biased. We sat at the hostess stand for a good 10 minutes before being acknowledged by a guy who sat us without any menus after about 20 minutes of sitting without menus nor being acknowledged we asked the same hostess for menus at which point he said he hasn't gotten around to it yet. Finally I get up and I go to another table ask them for their menus due to the fact that we've never been here before and have no idea what to even expect... after about another 10 minutes a server comes over to take our drink order. we order appetizers drinks another 15 minutes goes by she comes back with said drinks takes our order in the middle of a bingo game where we can't hear anything. food runner brings out food argues with our table about the fact that the kids meal doesn't come with a side although the server told us it did the Cajun pasta did not have broccoli and everything on my salmon entree was cold except for the mashed potatoes. and I'm not just meaning sad under a hot lamp cold the broccoli was literally ice cold to the touch... server never came back to check on us so we had to go find her up at the bar with somebody I'm expecting to be a regular because all three servers were hanging out with him the entire night and neglecting their tablles. explain to said server that our food is cold she was nice enough to get us our side of french fries for the kids meal two new sides of broccoli and put a 10% discount on our meal which brought us down to $60 total after two and a half hours of waiting. the bingo announcer was great and very lively and if I was to base my review off of her I would definitely be coming back but at this point we will not be back for bingo or to eat 🤷🏽‍♀️“

“This is my go to coffee shop. Myself and many others in the community are regulars here. Highly recommend any of the frozen drinks they’re to die for!“

“Taylor, our favorite waitress, at the Big Apple Cafe on W. Church St. is the BEST! All of the food is great. It's our go to for breakfast or an early lunch.“

“Great place to chill and enjoy a great latte and breakfast. And very reasonable price. Thanks HEY BABES !!“

“I’m a day 1. From the farmers market till now. Love this place, basically a family member now 😁“

“We stopped at Jolly Pirate Donuts on our way to Columbus for the weekend after hearing about it from their neighbors at Smile More Laundry and Tan! The donuts are very very good! So good we stopped again on our way back home to grab some for family to try!
Both times we went, the ladies who were working were very kind, patient and helpful!

10/10 recommend trying!
Our family recommends the maple stick, peanut butter filled, and the chocolate with sprinkles!

Kid-friendliness: At our second visit they were out of the donuts that had chocolate and sprinkles out daughter wanted but the girl who was working was very kind and made her one!“

“Great place and great owners! Delicious banana pudding!“
