My wife's cappuccino was better than yesterday's! Ambience is of your neighborhood bakery, where you can drop in for your "daily bread," or sit and have a cup of coffee or juice, accompanied by your favorite hand held. For me, this is a taste of home! Service was attentive. If you want well prepared and served coffee and simple fare, this is the place!

My last west coast trip spoiled me, and I'm on a quest to find amazing coffee near me (open to…read morerecommendations), so I'm trying new coffee places as much as I can. Busy Bee is inside a gas station, and has very good coffee. I had a caramel macchiato and it was a solid 7.5/10 (my coffee rating scale is as arbitrary as myself). There's also a generous collection of food offerings - I tried something similar to a deviled sausage (I didn't get its name) and it was delicious.

It was definitely busy and a little noisy, so I probably wouldn't choose it as a place to sit and get work done, but it's perfect for grabbing coffee or breakfast, or meeting up with friends. The horchata overnight oats were SO good--easily the highlight for me. They were unique and so delicious. I could eat them every day. I also got a cold brew with coconut cold foam. The cold brew itself was really good--smooth and not overly sweet, which I appreciated. The cold foam was just okay; I thought it was a little weak in both flavor and texture and would've loved it to be fluffier and more flavorful. Still, I enjoyed the drink overall. Service was incredibly quick, especially considering how busy they were. Our coffee and food came out almost immediately. Such a cute beachy coffee spot and the perfect pit stop before heading to the shore. I'd absolutely come back, especially for those horchata overnight oats!

Luckily we are usually able to find street parking within walking distance. Inside is quite spacious with lots of seating. There is a good list of food options usually ranging from sandwiches to wraps, bowls and pastries. They even have ube coconut loaf which was also sweet and satisfying! we tried their sammys and chicken caesar wrap and they are delicious. The coffees are made well too with great seasonal flavors. Their peanut butter mocha is yummy! Another bonus for me is their family-friendly atmosphere with a baby-changing area in their restroom and the fact that there is a playground right across! One of the top reasons we appreciate this establishment aside from visit-worthy service, drinks and bites! aaand close the beach! lots of WINS!!

Happiness starts with a good cup of coffee. After hearing so much hype about Rook, a local coffee…read morechain in NJ, I finally decided to give them a try. I stopped by the Long Branch location, located in a small plaza with plenty of parking. The interior is pretty small. No seating available - just a register to order, counter, pick-up area, and merchandise section. They only operate as a grab-and-go. I can see it being cramped during rush hours in the morning... luckily I came by on a weekday afternoon and was the only one there. Rook prides itself on having a small and simple menu. They only sell hot pour-over single origin coffee and cold brew. They picked a few things to perfect and do really well. So for espresso lovers, you're out of luck. BUT don't let that steer you away because their drinks are phenomenal. They use high quality, premium beans. The employee was extremely helpful with guiding me through the menu and giving me recommendations. I love that milks and sweeteners are available at no additional charge! They also have decaf and half caf options. I ordered a Vanilla Cold Brew (regular size $5.50) with milk and sugar. And let me tell you... it was love at first sip! It was probably the best cold brew I've ever had. Super smooth, rich, and creamy. The vanilla flavor wasn't overpowering and added just the right amount of sweetness. I definitely understand why so many people love their coffee. I wish there were more locations closer to North Jersey because I can see myself becoming a regular. If you can't visit a storefront, you can buy their cold brew concentrates or coffee beans online. Don't sleep on Rook!

This was my first time at this location and everyone was real nice and service was quick. For those not familiar with Rook, they have different flavors on rotation, so you can always try something new! They also have their staple flavors available all the time if you're the kind of person to stick with your regular order. Pricing is on par with other coffee shops, but quality is higher for sure. Rook definitely offers a chill vibe while you're inside waiting for your brew. If you haven't tried Rook yet, stop reading this review and start your order ;)

So I ordered breakfast thru DD and ordered full stack of French toast…read moreand a short stack of pancakes, both orders get delivered and neither order was delivered with BUTTER OR SYRUP. What restaurant let along a breakfast spot send French toast and pancakes out for delivery with no butter or syrup. I called them up to be told that the owner was bringing me the butter and syrup. I waited outside for an hour just for him to never show up. I called them back was yelled at by one of the waitresses and called a not so nice name and then was told it was too busy and I should call DoorDash for a refund, I said that isn't gonna help me get my butter and syrup that u said u were bringing that I have been waiting over an hour for. So now my 44$ breakfast is cold and still hasn't been eaten this all started at 10 am it's now 11:51 am. It's a real shame as I have been going to the hungry hobo since I was in second grade and this will be the very last time I ever get a thing from them. Very disappointed in this place. I wish I could give it less than one star it should be in the negative.

They carry a lot of delicious blends of coffee which they prepare fresh "pour over" right at the counter. Our fave blend is the Kenyan AA which we have only found at The Turning Point, so we were pretty excited to see it in the lineup at Coffee Corral. The food options are pretty varied and menu has everything you could want: savory, sweet, healthy, or chocolatey. Staff is very friendly and helpful. Depending on your timing, there can be long lines, but you can text your order in ahead of time and just pickup to pay when you arrive. They also have a loyalty account system which allows you to pre-load an account and not worry about bringing your wallet every time. Definitely a great cafe to pickup a quick bite and coffee when you're visiting the hospital!
