Coffee Shops near Spotswood

“I was driving by and stopped to have dinner at this place. Not a fancy place but my meal was excellent.. I had stuffed eggplant and was totally satisfied. Service was fine, young lady didn't speak much English but that made the place so much more authentic. All the people eating here was Middle East and that how you now the food will be good“

“The staff was very friendly and offered us the free donut deal. It was a bit complicated because you had to use the app in order to do so, but we opted out instead. They were very kind and patient when they reminded me how to use the app because I forgot.“

“Today, I wanted a bagel. Where to go? With so many bagel stores around Monroe Township, I decided James Brew in Jamesburg. Because their coffee is so good, as I was passing by, I stopped in there. The coffee is of the best quality & the pastry always fresh, my decision was easy. As usual, the coffee was delicious along with my everything bagel, toasted, with cream cheese. I’d hit the spot!! Thank you James Brew Cafe.“

“Just had the BELT sandwich and had to write this review. The food here is so so good. Drinks here are very good, too. I also love how spacious it is (it's hard to find spacious coffee shops) and the decor is very well done. Only downside is they don't have many outlets if you want to plug your computer in. Overall, great place.“

“Their sweet milk cold brew is to die for!!! So smooth, so much better than Dunkin or Starbucks. Their coffee is not bitter which I love. All of the baked goods we have had are very good. Only complaint I have is that I wish there was more seating or at least time limits for those who sit there for a long time on their laptops.“

“Great little spot. The combination of the hot tea, lofi beats, and the rain outside led to quite the atmosphere and vibe. I tasted the chai as well, and it had a very authentic and hearty flavor, it was quality. The roll up omelette was super tasty, great flavor combo. Cookie to finish it up was a great lightly sweet snack to finish it off. Definitely will be coming back here.“

“Tiny location, packs a pearl.... comedy. ?I love their Thai Tea Boba and their waffles are amazing ?? whether you like croffles or their house made (?) batter. All smoothies I've had have been delicious as well as their Dolgona(hope I'm spelling that right) coffee boba! SUPPORT THIS BUSINESS??tons of parking btw!“

“The confidence and care in their small business shows when you're a first timer in the coffee shop. They ask the right questions when it comes to the coffee or tea you're looking for. Very delicious and inviting coffee. It's seasonal coffee beans are always changing so make sure you're ready for a great new experience of coffee I miss the Ecuadorian papaya coffee they had. So good after it cooled down a bit“

“My favorite breakfast/brunch location. There's often a long wait, so I guess a lot of people agree with me, but it is well worth the wait. The food is prepared perfectly, the portions are large, the coffee is great, the service is quick and friendly, and prices for all that are quite reasonable.I love this place!We were among the earliest customers on this, their 1st day of reopening, following a month closure for renovations in both the kitchen and dining areas. The food was excellent (as usual), the service was the same high standard we have come to enjoy, the prices remain competitive, and the new look is modern & refreshing. This is still my favorite breakfast/brunch place.“

“Prep Coffee has ruined other local cafes for me. Here's why : 1. Amazing staff, always friendly: the owners + baristas are super attentive and have a great, welcoming attitude. They offer great suggestions and recommendations. 2. Family atmosphere: Once you become a regular, you meet other regulars which is cool! Prep attracts all types of people, from young families, to gym goers, to students. Everyone is welcome. 3. Coffee is really good: I am very specific about the taste of my coffee, and Prep nails it every-time. I usually get variations of the same thing - espresso, cortado, cold brew, or a latte. I don't like sugary drinks, so there is nothing to hide behind when it comes to the quality and flavor of the beans that a coffee shop uses, and my coffee always tastes great! They do offer a wide variety of unique drinks like peanut butter and zesty orange lattes if you're adventurous and like your coffee sweet. 4. Food is really good: The food here is delicious. To me, the menu has a nice variety, and is worth the price you pay. I have gone to plenty of local cafes that overcharge for small flavorless bites and that is not what I get at Prep. 5. Great place to get work done: the space has nice communal tables and a couch and depending on the day you go, it's a perfect place for hosting a book club, or catching up with friend If you're in the Middlesex county area, you have to check it out and see for yourself!“

“This is my go-to spot for pastries in the area! The coffee brioche and the red bean bun are my favorites. I also lovee the cake here. I've tried the spooky oreo, black forest, tiramisu, and red velvet cakes, and they're all delicious. Staff is also super friendly and helpful.“

“We were staying nearby at the Heldrich Hotel and were looking for a place to have breakfast where there might be some gluten free options. SOL-KALANIT’S was the perfect solution. My wife had tacos (corn, not flour) both mornings we ate there and said they were the best tacos she had eaten since she moved back east from Arizona. I had an omelet both mornings and both were excellent. The dine-in area is small and it can get a bit noisy. But everyone who works there is warm, friendly, and lot’s of fun. The food is a mix of Mexican, Native American, and Mediterranean. If this place were closer to home, we would be regular customers. Give it a try, you won’t be disappointed.“

“Cozy shop with really cute aesthetics. They do soft serve on tea and have ice cream! The teas are reasonably priced. The matcha was very good. Toppings choices aren't as numerous as other places but that's ok because they have ice cream.Parking: It's a little tight since it's the strip malls part of Edison. There's a light to make a left out of it so it's not very hard to get out. Just not very many spots. Unknown if there's parking in the rear“

“My husband and I love this place!! We worked with the owner Sam to cater coffee and speciality drinks for our wedding in 2022. She went above and beyond for us. I only have nice things to say about California Coffee Co. Amazing coffee, drinks, candles, etc! My favorite drink is the Pumpkin La Jolla and my husband loves the Lavender Lemonade. 1000000/10 for this place!“

“I love a good local pho spot, but I am especially in love with their $10 Wednesday deal. I always build my own pho and do the brisket and rare steak. The tendons are either a hit or miss because I don’t like the big hard chunks. I usually drink the broth but today’s broth tasted more salty than usual. Portions are adequately sized, and I often have to get to go containers for my soup and noodles. If you pay in cash, you get an extra 5% off!“

“I got a vanilla latte and loved it. This is my new favorite coffee place in the area. Latte was smooth and not at all bitter. They have some baked goods that I'll have to try next time. Guy working here made a design on top which was a nice touch. I definitely recommend coming here and everything seemed well priced.“

“Good burgers, so delicious, I ordered Korean Burger and Avocado Bacon burger. The Beef was so tender and taste of the sauce so good. I also ordered chocolate milk shakes with marshmallow on it. The place is clean, good service, helpful staffs. Oh and the restroom is very clean. I will come again“

“I came early on a Tuesday morning and found street parking right in front of the coffeeshop. I went in and asked the staff for a pour over that wasn't very acidic and he gave his recommendation. The coffee was very good! I also tried a tiramisu gulab jamun donut. It was sweet, but not over the top. I loved it. The coffee shop itself was very clean and had a very relaxing feel. I would love to visit again.“

“From classic Diner favorites to updated menu items, South Side 35 is a perfect choice if you're looking for a place that will satisfy any craving. The place is clean and the staff is friendly. You will feel comfortable and right at home.“

“What a great restaurant! We found it by chance and it’s like a little jewelry box filled with good authentic atmosphere, delicious food and amazing music. Señora Alma, the owner treated us as the family, the tacos were tasty. They also have some Oaxaca souvenirs and pottery for sale, the ambience is welcoming and warm.I will definitely be back for more. And did I mention they have parking lot next door for their customers.“

“Ordered 3 dozen bagels and 2lbs of cream cheese for a store breakfast. I didn’t know it was cash only and I had to use my company Amex. The owner saw I how frazzled I was a GAVE me the food on them. I can’t say enough about how much he saved my morning. Not only was he incredibly nice and thoughtful, but the bagels were amazing! Huge hit, all of the customers loved them! I will definitely be back (with cash). If you want to support local business this place truly deserves it“

“Not usually in this area but I’ll be coming here when I am. the cafe is very open, sunny, the perfect atmosphere with many charging stations at every seat perfect for students. The food was absolutely delicious and the barista was so sweet and even gave us complimentary chocolate. Will definitely be coming back.“

“I bought a cake for my co-workers birthday and was blown away by the design and the cake. Everyone went nuts over the cake and there wasn't a slice left. The baker is such a nice man who has passion for the food. I will only buy my cakes from her moving forward!“

“I love this cozy spot in the main downtown of South Amboy. Their coffee and breakfast sandwiches are good, which is exactly what I needed. The Java Dave's special is my perfect order with pork roll (or bacon), egg and cheese with a hash brown. The girls working there are very sweet and attentive. Check it out if you're in the area.Parking: There's street parking, but you normally don't have to park far if you can parallel park.“

“Really good food, their sandwiches are genuinely amazing. The only complaint I have is that their fries kinda suck, most of the time they're pretty soggy and don't have much flavor, it mostly just tastes like a bag of store bought fries that they reheat and add on the side.“

“Great food. I asked one of the staff about whether the coffee bun tastes like coffee, and she said it doesI asked if she tried it, and going by her confirmation, I bought it.Well, it doesn't taste like coffee at all! But it was a fantastic bun, soft as a cloud and light as air. I enjoyed it.Note to the staff: please don't feel the need to misrepresent! You can say I have no idea!“

“I arrived around 4:15 on a rainy Saturday. The place was busy but there was no wait. The service was excellent. Food came out at a great pace. I'm ordered chicken chasri karhai, Aloo Parathas, and masala chai. Everything was excellent and reasonably priced. I would definitely recommend eating here.“

“The Coffee House has become one of my favorite stops for a simple yet delicious breakfast along with coffee. The service is always great. It's never packed and the atmosphere is a relaxed, easy going vibe. With the free Wifi, you can sit here and do work for as long as you wish. I love the vast amounts of rock and roll photos of icons throughout the 50s to 90s. There's ample seating both inside and outside.“

“We stopped here unexpectedly when seeing it after eating at the pizzeria next door. There is a tent outside the front door of the restaurant where you could sit outside at a bench if you like. We had parked at the metered parking lot across the street, so we needed to put another quarter in to stay and have dessert here. It's a Portugese / Brazilian restaurant & bakery. We were shocked to see that it opens at 4:40 in the morning! There were several breakfast dishes on the menu. They also had sandwiches, empanadas, and most importantly desserts ! I was excited to see they had chocolate flan ! Omg this was sooooo good. It had chocolate sprinkles on top AND they drizzled chocolate sauce over it. It was so creamy and decadent. I highly recommend this for chocolate lovers. My husband and his brother split a piece of cake. To me, it slightly tasted like sweet cornbread with chocolate icing. To go for the next morning, I took home one of their dulce de leche donuts. Omg this is so good. The donut is not as sweet as an American donut, it's more sweet bread-like. It was absolutely filled with dulce de leche caramel and topped with powdered sugar. The guy that waited on us was very friendly and I think he was amused at my excitement finding all these goodies there. The inside of the restaurant is very casual with several small tables. This place was fairly popular as folks kept walking in and ordering. This is definitely worth the stop here for their baked goods.“

“I've been a loyal customer of Paris Baguette for years! I love window shopping all the beautiful pastries and bringing home some tasty treats. Everything is fresh and tastes just as good as it looks! A little pricey, but better than any other pastries in the area. Breakfast sandwiches are also great with a yummy iced latte on the side!“

“Solid coffees. I usually get the Turkish coffee when I am in town because it is so good and can't stand drinking out of the family Keurig. Baristas are awesome, down to earth and upbeat! Wish they had some condensed milk just for us Vietnamese coffee buffs. A must visit in Manalapan NJ !“

“It was amazing it was slow but the a Brazilian my self I loved it burgers as big as the plate the service was good and there were tvs to keep company amazing ?Parking: It was street parking but still amazingKid-friendliness: They were all nice and slowly talked to us and we ate in peace“

“one of the best places around new brunswick. not sure why it's 3 stars they have great customer service the chorizo, shrimp, and queso are beyond amazing this place is very good. MUST go to but don't go on a friday night as it will be packed with college kids.“

“Brandon almendares is an amazing worker he always get my order perfect and makes sure I enjoy my drink! He’s always kind and helping in picking drinks while having a smile on his face. He’s a key member in my opinion and makes my visits amazing!! Highly recommend coming!“

“Had the orea matcha tea new recipe and also the passion fruit green tea!!!!Amazing not too sweet ask to control the sugar. Less sugar always .I can't wait for them to release the Oreo matcha. Soooooooo good. The Oreo and matcha combination isn't something I would have naturally though about but it's insanely good. Will come backThank you to the owner for letting us try and also for serving us. I want to mention that we were walking in 1 minute before closing, most other stores would have turned us away and told us they're closed but the workers here very kind and served us two incredibly crafted drinks. Thanks guys you are the best.“

“One of my go-to spots for boba! I've tried a variety of their milk and fruit teas, and they all hit. My go-to at the moment is My Ex w/ 50% sugar and white pearls. I also like the Mango Pomelo drink. Street parking is very convenient, as well.“

“This was my first time visiting Duck Donut's so the person at the register welcomed me, spent lots of time going through the menu, asking questions about my preferences, and making recommendations. He was so kind and helpful (Receipt says his name is S_King)! My donuts were prepared quickly and they were so fresh and delicious. I really love the maple glaze and highly recommend any donut that comes with it.“

“On a short road trip home back to nyc, I was craving some bbt and we found this spot on google. First time trying out their mango drink and I was addicted!! Finished that so quick, had to hold myself back from getting seconds although I’m low key thinking I should’ve just done it… summers over anyways lol. The workers are were also really nice to me and my friends as we were a bit indecisive in what we wanted at first“

“Masala Chai is actually the chai Indians make at home, not the pseudo versions you have at cafes. They make the chai right in front of you in a chai pan ?Bombay sandwich and Avocado toast are a must to try.I visit New Brunswick for meetings, and this place a much drop in for breakfast and chai.“

“As always this place is my go to when I’m in Perth Amboy.the food is always on point and is affordable with good size portions.the service is great and the staff is friendly.. as a cuban myself,this is the closest to home cooking i get,and the food here is very close to my mom and dads..“

“in november i was taking a walk and suddenly i felt very disoriented and light headed and my heart was pounding. i came here and ordered an egg cheese ham bagel and got an arizona iced tea thinking maybe i was hungry or my blood sugar was low. but i still felt this way for an hour or 2 and i was seeing stars. they told me the store was closing and they were cleaning up and i told them what was happening and the owner asked if i needed an ambulance and i said i couldnt make the walk back home as it was super dark and it was already hard to see because of my vision being dim and i didnt know if i would pass out, and i told him i didnt have a ride home and he said his wife would be leaving work soon and she could drop me off, but i didnt want to trouble him so i said it was okay and i managed to get my dad to drop me off at my house. very sweet people, i am glad they showed care.“

“One of the best Starbucks in the area!! They are incredibly friendly and very fast. On a busy day it takes maybe 10 minutes to get my order in the drive thru. Today I went and it was not busy, I ordered two drinks and food and from start to finish I was there for only 4 minutes!! Drinks were well made and staff was incredibly friendly, special thanks to Mikayla!! Will definitely be back“

“Life changing doesn’t even begin to describe the wonderful experience I had here. The moment I walked in I felt like I had just walked into a small açaí shop on a playa (beach in spanish). The bowls that they create are exquisite and SO DELICIOUS. I got a mango and chia bowls and it was an out of body experience. There is a ping pong table.The skill of the employees?? WOW. the way that the beautiful young lady serving me sliced up the bananas looked like she had been doing it for decades. I will be coming here EVERY SINGLE DAY. The employees are being kind especially the tall blonde with curly hair. If she isn’t assistant manager soon i might throw a fit!“

“I recently used Marco’s to cater a 50th birthday party for my girlfriend. First off, Marco was a pleasure to deal with. He was extremely helpful in trying to decide what foods to serve and how much. After a simple phone call, he said he’d take care of everything, and he did! The food was delivered and set up on time. Everything was provided so it was “turnkey” ready to serve. When we did serve it a short time later, the compliments started to come my way. Not only was everyone thoroughly impressed by the flavor and freshness, but also the presentation. It just looked delicious!! All in all, I was VERY pleased with Marco’s. They made the most important part of the event stress free which allowed me to focus on hosting and enabling the guest of honor, and ALL the party guests, to thoroughly enjoy themselves. If you are looking for a delightful, delicious, trouble free and affordable catering experience, I HIGHLY recommend Marco’s deli. THANK YOU MARCO!! ??“

“This is one of my go to Starbucks in the area. It doesn't have a drive thru but parking is not bad to go grab your drink inside. They also have ample seating inside and some seating outside. It's always busy but the baristas make the drinks pretty quickly.“

“Visiting this bakery was an absolute delight!! From the moment I stepped through the door, I was greeted by the most heartwarming aroma of freshly bakeds. The ambience was warm and inviting. If you’re looking for a bakery that will satisfy your cravings look no further than Raquel’s bakery!“

“I love Starbucks this particular location is extremely busy and I think management needs more employees. I feel bad for the employees they look stressed and are running and working the hardest and the best they can. They are doing a great job for the amount of volume of customers coming in“

“Was pretty much at this Dunkin all day on New Years Eve and the girl with the red hair and the musical Theatre major who were working were both super nice!! They told me their names and I forgot unfortunately. They both need raises!!! Loved them.“

“Go-to dunkin when I'm at my boyfriends. Not the closest one to his house, but DEFINITELY the better one. There are two closer ones, but we would rather drive a little farther to go to the one that gets your order right and where the food/drinks are good then go to the other ones.“

“Stopped in here today and got the Big Mac deal for $2 and the 99 cent drink. I'm not sure if anything was wrong with the big mac, it's just hard to eat because it falls all over the place especially with the little pieces of lettuce, but the beef itself starts to slide out of the burger while trying to hold it.Also the soda was a little weak. I usually get a little bit of Dr pepper mix with diet Coke, and I noticed that the Dr pepper came out almost clear.“
