They do pour overs. Getting a mocha java

Super chill place for quiet time for yourself. The art work is amazing and the employees are very nice. They make you feel so welcomed. They do not trust their own coffee beans here. It's from a local roaster from Forked River in Ocean. They do carry almond, soy and coconut milk if you ask. I found another wonderful coffee place to frequent.

I've been to the newer 1st cup location, and I think I prefer this one. There's a cozier vibe here. Coffee is always good, and my croissant, though I usually love Balthazar croissants, was a bit stale, so that was disappointing. But if in the area, I would definitely come again.

I was looking for a coffee place in the area since my wife was at a function at the Shore Casino.. this place doesn't disappoint! Nice cafe vibe with some delicious options! I chose the Nutella Latte which was super yummy! They had fresh muffins next to the register, so I had to try the Pumpkin Crumb muffin AND the Zucchini Walnut Raisin muffin... dude, these were seriously scrumptious and moist! I will definitely be coming back when in the area! And the barista was super nice and sweet.. I didn't catch her name but she was just so pleasant! Sometimes when you walk into a new place, people give you the vibe that they are doing you a favor by serving you your order.. this place was so comfortable and welcoming, that I totally felt at ease and just couldn't wait to enjoy my drink and treats! Enjoy! read more

This might be my favorite coffee place in Monmouth county. I know Rook dominates the area and they are good but I real as if this place just beats them out in every way. It's not too busy, there are plenty of options, the price is on par with every other coffee place and the staff has always been great. The cold brew is one of the best I have had. They will even blend it with a banana and make it like a slushie which I haven't had elsewhere. So points for that as well. Just another great place for Atlantic Highlands. read more

I was always content drinking coffee from a Keurig or making a quick stop at Dunkin' Donuts. That was before my girlfriend told me about 1st Cup Coffee. Now I'm ruined for life. No other can compare. When I'm not down the shore, I have all week to drink subpar coffee and daydream about this place. The owner, Bob, is about the nicest guy you'll meet (and he'll remember your name, too, even if you've been in there once). 1st Cup has a variety of all those fancy offerings, but what stands out is a regular hot cup of either their medium roast or my favorite, the Kenya Dark Roast. Seriously, stop by here and throw out your Keurig. You'll thank me. read more

This is certainly one of the best cafes in Monmouth County; it is quiet and unpretentious, with small treats from local bakeries.

First Cup of Coffee always makes a great cup of coffee. I'm a huge fan of their coffee and I'm very picky about coffee. I personally, buy my own beans and make my own blend using Lavazza Beans. I have a full on espresso machine. In another life, I think I might have been a barista. So when I say this place has great coffee, I mean it and I know what I'm talking about. Not to mention their space has a great atmosphere that makes you want to hang for awhile. read more

So usually on my way to Sandyhook I stop and grab a decaf . But the last couple of times I have stopped at the DD near Sandyhook and have been truly disappointed. Not sure what is the issue with DD in this town and went on a search for a coffee place in town. Came across this place via yelp. And I will never stop at a DD on my way to Sandyhook, as long as this place is open. Literally 10 minutes from Sandyhook and so worth the visit. I ordered a large decaf latte and it was perfect. I was also impressed with the young lady behind the counter. She knew most of her customers name as well as there orders. read more

Coming from North Jersey where we don't have anything but chains, I'm in love with this place and so glad I got to try it! This is my first time here, and it definitely won't be my last. I went to get a cold brew, but unfortunately they were out. Instead, the guy here made me an Americano over ice, and charged me the same price as a cold brew. He was outgoing and quite friendly, and this is what local businesses are all about! The coffee was excellent and it was well worth the wait! Please try this place the next time you're in the area!

I love this coffee shop. Firstly, everyone that works here makes you feel at home. The coffee is much better than anything you get at Starbucks and the atmosphere is really Welcoming. I ended up doing some computer work here and socializing for the afternoon. I felt at home and at ease. I ended up meeting lots of local people from the surrounding areas everyone was so nice. I highly recommend the Dirty Chai latte, Berry Banana smoothies, the Sumatra Dark coffee, and the Cold brew Iced coffee (before they run out into). Needless to say I will be back!

Let's dive into the details: the crust on both of these desserts are delicious and seemingly identical but they shine differently as they pair with the other ingredients in their recipe. The S'mores tart was rich in chocolate, with a toasted marshmallow topping. The cheesecake was big enough to share and also had some beautiful elements such as the toasted coconut, and the creamy whipped topping. Their service was fast and the line moved quickly. I loved the big display window giving a visual to the hard work happening in their kitchen too, a nice personal touch indeed! The location is perfect, there is a private parking lot shared with other surrounding businesses and there's patio seating.

The various types of biscotti we purchased as well as the crumble cheesecake were highlights from our selections. Definitely worth a stop in to see what interests your sweet tooth. The Deets: After dinner in Asbury Park this recent visit, it was decided a visit was needed down to Del Ponte's Bakery along Main St in Bradley Beach. This bakery's huge selection of Italian pastries and sweet treats was almost overwhelming! Multiple display cases of deliciousness awaited us inside the shop, we really took our time to look over all of it before decisions were made. We had basically thought going in that we would nab some fresh biscotti (which of course, we did, in different varieties, all delicious) but also ended up with some other goodies such as crumble cheesecake (so good!), cookies, etc. We feasted well each morning, believe you me. It was on the Friday evening of Labor Day holiday weekend and I think the young staffers there had a long day. We were served well, but from the "Can I help who is next, already?!" for example that was shouted out across the shop full of customers sort of came across as "let's get this done now" but hey, never know what they already had been through that day, right? They gathered up all our choices from case to case when it was our turn and we were pretty pleased with the boxes full of baked goodness as all of it didn't last long. Del Ponte's Bakery is a good stop to make if wanting some sweet treats to take home and enjoy, we are glad we did so.

Best cold brewed coffee I have ever had. The espresso was on the money, too. Rich, velvety, coated the palette in the right way. Friendly and chatty staff; Tara knows exactly what she is talking about when it comes to coffee. A wonderful experience for only being in the cafe for less than ten minutes. Can not wait to be back in the area to visit again. read more

This local coffee shop has everything. Excellent service, well trained and educated staff, and a friendly atmosphere. The coffee itself is fantastic! Even if it's your first time visiting, you'll be treated as a regular. I highly recommend coming here for great brews and a good dose of seratonin to start your day - or help you through your afternoon! read more

1st Cup saved Atlantic Highlands! This is amazing coffee! I prefer 1st Cup Coffee over Dunkin any day of the week! They have a kind and helpful staff that will always provide the best. The interior is decorated beautifully and very 'aesthetically pleasing' for my daughters! I'd gladly give them my business until the end of time! read more
