Stopped in randomly and was pleasantly surprised. The cashier and barista were very friendly and welcomed us upon entering. We put in our order and it was prepared within five minutes. I had a medium vanilla latte and a toasted butter croissant. Both were good. We sat at the high top window seating area directly across from the register. The shop has plants everywhere and cute mugs for sale. Cute establishment. If you are in the area and want a quick bite and or coffee, give this place a try.

Went for the first time with a friend. The inside was cute! The menu had a lot of variety and the staff were patient and friendly. There was also a little cakes/macaroon area, but they have other sweet treats for sale. I got a iced coffee and my friend got a hot. Both were made really well and it was decently priced. Definitely worth the stop and wait for our drinks! If you're in the area, I would stop to get your pick-me-up here.

Lovely local coffee shop with a decent selection of pastries and great tasting coffee! Special love for the Americans and chocolate croissants on my end. The staff are very kind and the ambiance is very calming! Looking forward to this being my go-to spot in town.

Super cute local coffee shop. We stopped by on Christmas Eve to get some Hot Chocolate and Bubble tea. Hot Chocolate was yummy and so was the Bubble tea. They only have slushie bubble teas here though. Didn't try their pastries but they all looked yummy so something to try next time. They have super cute mugs and decor too!

Mango bubble tea

A cute little place, which sold not only beverages but also snacks and jewelries . I got a mango bubble tea, which is closer to a green tea mango smoothie with tapioca. It was very refreshing and not too sweet. Perfect for a hot spring/early summer day.

What a gem! Ara coffee is everything you want in a little coffee shop and more. My friend told me to come and try out their bubble tea and I am so glad I did! I decided on green tea flavor and it was to die for. Owned by a sweet Asian couple, she made it so diligently and with just the right amount of sugar. It's more the the slush tea rather than just liquid. Which is absolutely fine since that's my preference anyway. They offer a ton of coffee options and some baked goodies at the counter. The real star for me at this cafe is the bubble tea. It's so spot on! Not too sweet, rich and delicious. The boba is also very soft compared to others that I've had but still so good. Already planning my next trip to come here. Parking is also super easy, it's not the busiest street in Rutherford so finding a spot isn't too bad.

Mocha Bubble Tea
Shirley L.

I'm came by to visit a friend and she recommended Ara Coffee. I was surprise to find delicious bubble tea in NJ. I got my mocha bubble tea which which was in a pretty good consistency. They also have other flavors like Taro,strawberry and mango. They also have a lot other pastries and bakery goods like croissants, cookies, breads. They also have coffees and teas. Great place for a Grab and Go location for breakfast, brunch or lunch. Not the mention the people working here are very nice and friendly.

Mango bubble tea and iced coffee
Stephanie L.

Their mango bubble tea is like a desert it's really good but only if you like sweets! The iced coffee had good flavor and didn't taste watered down. I definitely want to try their latte next!

This isn't my everyday spot, even though it's literally on my daily route, because let's be honest,…read moreI don't buy chaos that often. But when I do stop in? It's always a treat. Like a little reward for surviving life. I remember this place during COVID. Empty. Deserted. Sahara level emptiness. One heroic worker holding the line, staring into the void, still making coffee like a champion. Back then my go to was their coconut cold brew... which, thank God, is STILL on the menu. Do yourself a favor and try it. It got me through lockdown emotionally. And yes, I still went to coffee shops during lockdown, coffee was essential, don't argue with me. Fast forward to today and WOW. This place has absolutely blown up, in the best way. Every time I walk in now, there are people ordering, hanging out, working remotely, pretending they're writing novels, the whole vibe. Clearly they've got regulars, but the coolest part? The baristas still help you right away and don't make you feel like you interrupted their coffee cult meeting. Immediate love. No awkwardness. Honestly, between the decor, the people, the drinks, and how clean everything is, this place just gets it. It's warm, it's cool, it's consistent, and it somehow went from "COVID ghost town" to "community hub" without losing its soul. So no, it's not my everyday stop, but when I do come, I leave happier, caffeinated. They absolutely rock it.

The perfect coffee shop for my wife and I has pour over for me and creative lattes for my wife. Cabana delivers that in a major way. They roast their own coffee and the baristas were polite and knowledgeable. I was tempted by their double dark roast or their hyper caffeinated El Chapo but the barista recommended their medium roast Legender for a first time customer. Glad he did, it was smooth and flavorful. My wife loved the foam on her chai tea latte. Plenty of comfortable seating, cozy and nicely decorated for the holiday season, and a clean bathroom rounded out a very pleasant experience!

The shop is in a…read moregray, bland industrial looking building, which also houses a gym and a rock/gemstone store. There is plenty of parking. The outside of the coffee house isn't impressive. But inside - it is rustic, large and has many tables around, some in corners to create an intimate and private space. It's very comfortable and inviting. The coffee house was clean and the bathrooms were clean as well. The staff were very friendly. They offer a variety of coffees, typical of an artisan coffee shop. There was food and different types of good looking pastries offered. We ordered a Macchiato but they didn't know how to make that. So we settled on two Cappuccinos. The prices were a bit cheaper then other well know coffee places. The cups and lids were a bit of a disappointment. They were cheaply made and I was worried the lid would pop off. Unfortunately we were not impressed with the coffee. It was watery and weak and we ended up not finishing them. This is a very nice looking shop, and the staff was sweet, but unfortunately the mediocre coffee doesn't make it worth a return visit for me.

This may be THAT coffee because I def spent $10.58 on a turmeric coffee today. And I do not own a house. I'm also not a millennial so there's that. Anyway this was THE BEST COFFEE IVE HAD SO TAKE MY MONEY AGAIN AND AGAIN. Weirdly enough I was actually on the hunt for a Dunkin but my maps showed none within 20 miles. Which obvs is a lie since there's one on every corner but Whomdst am I to question the almighty Apple Maps in an unfamiliar town? It must have been kismet because as soon as I pulled into Pour City I saw DD across the street lol. But as I told my PhD advisor in year 8, I'm not a quitter so I will see this thing through (spoiler: I did quit). I was committed to the bit. Pour City had me at turmeric latte. A maple turmeric latter with espresso and oat milk to be exact. Of course the one time I don't bring my phone with me the place is super cute. I made it shake by taking pics of the coffee itself in the car. Super smooth, velvety even. Rich in flavor. Sensational. I legitimately live 60 miles away. There is ZERO reason for me to ever go all that way for a cuppa again. But I will. Gladly.
