This place blew me away, just had a Burrata toast, and it is the freshest that I’ve ever had by far!! This place is amazing and so is the staff. My compliments to the chef.

I don't know maybe I came on a off day. I thought it would be a good choice coming here judging by the reviews. The young lady at the counter was very pleasant. I ordered the jersey burrito and it was very disappointing. I adjusted some of the ingredients. I asked for egg, pork roll, peppers, potats and cheese. I got all egg and cheese. 3 potatoes and these little chopped up pieces of pork roll. Not what I expected. I also ordered a iced chai latte. It tasted like plain milk with a ton of cinnamon. Total cost was $20.00!!!Sorry definitely not worth it. May return to try the coffee and pastries but don't think I'll get anything else.

It’s a great place to get good coffee & food. Their breakfast burrito is amazing. I’d like it a little more if there was more space to sit.

Great coffee and food. Their coffee doesn't have that burnt taste that a lot of shops have and their flavored lattes are delicious and not overly sugary. The jersey burrito and egg and cheese sandwich are delicious. Favorite coffee shop in the area.Parking: Free parking lot in the back of the building.
Super clean, modern coffee shop in Matawan on 516. I was very happily surprised to find a cafe in the area as if you were to look for one even just in the last few years, you would have had a difficult time. Food and coffee beverages are amazing and are served very quickly. This is a place I will come to over and over again when I am in the area!

My husband just moved here from Australia and we have been on the hunt for a good coffee spot since leaving NYC in NJ and we finally found it ! Prep coffee is not only clean ,and cozy inside but the coffee, food and pastries are some of the best we ever had out of a coffee shop! Nick and the staff that work with him at the shop are so personable every time we come in. Sebastian’s food and shop is truly the best NJ has to offer thus far !- coconut macaroon and rainbow cookie coffees are a must try *!
The coffee and service are great. Speedy service with quality drinks and brunch options. The zesty orange latte is surprising and

I loved my experience at Prep Coffee! I study here often and the service is always so great. I also really appreciated the free Wi-Fi and their vast menu selection! They have a nice ambiance and ample seating. Prep Coffee has a great coffee menu and even offers a full menu of food and pastries as well - I had the Cali Burrito (egg, avocado, jersey tomato, corn, roasted red onion, spicy salsa roja and queso blanco) which was very tasty and the Peanut Butter latte with oat milk which was so good and definitely a unique flavor that I have not seen anywhere else! I will surely be back here soon!

Growing up around the coffee business, I have become a coffee connoisseur. A local place, Prep has an urban city vibe that is very attractive. It is a great spot to work while enjoying a beverage and brunch. The menu is diverse and offers custom drinks similar to big box stores, only better styled and tasting! During the holidays I had the Boo Latte and their Pumpkin Spice. Amazing blends with subtle flavors, I marveled at their how much care they put into each drink. They have free WiFi and are open work hours only, which allows one to utilize the space in case you are tired of your home space. But my most favorite perk was their dog friendliness. I brought my puppy as we're out for a coffee walk. They welcomed him and made him a custom puppichino. While I wouldn't keep a dog with me all day, it was refreshing to see the business be so open to people with animals. I highly recommend this new coffee shop!

No trick but lots of treats! If you want great lattes or any coffee or tea beverages, this is one of Central Jersey's coffee/tea cafes to come to. For some Halloween delights, they offered some Spooky Spider Cupcakes and their very trending, "Boo-Latte." The Boo-Latte with espresso, milk, vanilla, marshmallow, and cold foam was delicious and perfect for the ghostly season. I rewarded myself here after some holiday shopping and enjoyed delicious treats and interacted with friendly baristas. Speaking of rewards, if you give them your name and phone number to sign up, you can earn one point for every two dollars and receive a five dollar discount for every 50 points you redeem. This is a well-lit environment with free wifi. There are four comfortable, fairly long tables for people to bring their laptops and get things done.I will be returning regularly to this cafe. Hope to see you there!

What a wonderful coffee shop! I stayed a lot longer than originally planned, and I was so comfortable I didn't want to leave. I visited the Matawan location this morning to have a latte and something to eat. I read in past reviews that the zesty orange latte was good, so I ordered that. Orange is my favorite color and flavor with everything. That flavor latte did not disappoint. I am always drinking coffee, so having a latte was a nice change to my usual. I also wanted to try their breakfast. I ordered the jersey burrito. Wow! That was so perfectly put together. It had eggs, cheese, potatoes, onions/peppers, bacon, and the best part big chunks of pork roll. The burrito was clearly made to order and was very hot. At first glance, I thought bacon and pork roll would be too much, but I was wrong. Both meats complemented each other very well in the burrito. That was a very filling meal and so tasty. I highly recommend trying it. The chairs and table are comfortable to sit at and get work done. My internet on my cell is sometimes slow and I appreciated having access to the free wifi.
