Love the aesthetic here. Ordered the dirty chai tea. Delicious. Would definitely recommend. Great addition to downtown Matawan.
Candelaria has become one of my new favorite coffee shops! I recently visited and ordered an iced mocha. The chocolate sauce was well integrated into the drink and the ratio of sweet and milky was just right. I also had a bite of their cosmic brownie cake pop. One of my favorite cake pops I've ever tried, and it was super cute! The interior of this place is cozy and really well decorated. While I didn't get the chance to sit down, I definitely would in the future. The service was also quick and friendly.
REALLY nice place. Great food and lots of choices (the guava croissant was Heaven...so much so that I got another to go). Reasonable price point. And the bathroom was immaculate. BUT no service with a smile, my decaf tea wasn't available so I had to get something else, AND because I was solo, I wasn't allowed to sit on the cushy leather sofa.
After having coffee at another spot, this one popped up on my Yelp app. It was only 5 minutes away and seeing how fricken cool the photos were, I had to check it out. I can handle two cups of coffee back to back. Lol. Interior space is small but cozy. Love the comic vibes at the coffee bar seating. Totally dig the modern art decor throughout as well. Staff was friendly from start to finish. I'm always on the lookout for a good Golden latte (turmeric) and this is what I got as soon as I saw it on the menu. I ordered it with oat milk. As soon as I took a sip, I was like yesss!! It is exactly how I like it, it has that slight gingery and black pepper profile. Their sandwiches look delicious and I will definitely try one on my next visit. There is a small parking lot around the back.
I decided to wake up this morning and take a 45-minute drive to this café that I came across on Instagram last week. I must say, it was absolutely worth the trip. I was very pleased with the place. The vibes and overall atmosphere were very pleasant, and the staff were incredibly friendly and welcoming.They offer a great variety of sandwiches and toasts. We tried the egg and avocado toast as well as the brie, apple, and prosciutto sandwich, both were amazing and beautifully presented. I also ordered a cappuccino, and it was made exactly the way I like it.On the way out, I grabbed a café con leche for the road. Overall, it was a great experience, and I will definitely be returning in the near future.
Adorably decorated with exposed brick and quirky art. It was very busy on a Sunday morning. We had a classic cappuccino and latte which were both well done. We also had the Serrano and berry toast, burrata and tomato toast, and almond croissant. Each was chef's kiss. The croissant was light and flaky and crunchy. The berry and Serrano toast was on an English muffin and the mint on top was surprisingly perfect. The burrata toast was on a grainy bread and was simply tasty! Service was excellent and staff was friendly. Will be back.
Picked up a coffee here right around closing time. Very cute little cafe that doesn't charge for alternative milk. They had quite an extensive food menu too, I'm going to be back for more.
This was my first time trying Candelaria Espresso Bar, I had placed my order for pick up. For starters, it was ready when it said it would be. The ECEC special was great - for $12.50 though a bit of a stretch. The croissant I had toasted and that too was great and warm. The coffee was wonderful, overall everything was fresh, I'd definitely come back to try more!
My friend and I last minute decided to grab coffee locally and found this spot on here to check out. The coffee shop has such a cozy vibe, warm and inviting. We went in the middle of the week and was surprised many tables and chairs were occupied - which is a great thing! My friend and I didn't have any food but from looking at the menu they all sounds delicious. The coffee we ordered were very good. I loved the latter art and the cups they serve it on. Overall, if you're looking for a cozy spot to hang out in, have meetings, or even read a book, check out this local spot and definitely support this little gem!
Delightful! Can't believe I've never tried this place. Beautifully decorated, the coffee is delicious and so is the food. Great place to work or hangout.
This place was so cool! I ordered a cafe con leche with a little liquid sugar. However my friend ordered a coffee with milk and they didn't put milk in hers . She was afraid to have her order corrected but luckily they had a station where could add milk. I'm not sure if that's why they didn't add milk to hers.
Okay I'm about to put you all on this is literally my favorite café in Monmouth County. The people here are amazing. The coffee and food is indescribable the burrata toast is amazing the ruby, turkey is amazing and their specials are always the best. They're iced shaken Cortado signature drink, you could never go wrong with it. This place literally feels like home.

Beautiful spot Clean , cute plants, nice music and relaxing atmosphere. Great spot for brunch with your friends. read more
Upon entering I noticed a very nice area to sit and drink your coffee. If you want to splurge on coffee this is the place to go, one iced caramel macchiato 14 oz is about 6 bucks , and vanilla iced latte is 7 bucks. The prices on the menu weren't there so you have to ask how much it is beforehand. The customer service is good it took a while for our coffee to be made but overall the coffee was good 5/10 , definitely pricey read more

What's not to love about Candelaria?? Though the cafe was bustling with customers, it still had a cozy and welcoming atmosphere. The food was incredible, and I had one the best lattes I've had in a while! If you live in the Matawan or Old Bridge area, this place is an absolute must. read more

I would give 3.5 stars but I'm rounding up because the service was nice. We ordered a matcha latte and a latte, and were pleased to find they don't charge for alternative milks. I wish all places did this! We also got an avocado toast. I had to go back to the register because he gave me the wrong changed but he was very nice about it. The avocado toast was good, the bread was perfectly toasted, not too soft or too hard. The lattes could be improved upon--there was quite a lot of foam in both, and they were very light in weight, more like a cappuccino. We also ordered everything to stay, but they gave us to go cups despite having mugs on top of their espresso machine. A bit disappointing as we try to me less waste when possible. read more

So excited to have a new coffee haunt! The Cortado was perfectly made and we have plenty of solid flavor options if that is your thing. My friend got the avocado toast and raved about it. It was hearty so that was nice. It definitely has a workspace vibe if you're coming by to do any remote work. Definitely worth a stop. read more

Candelaria Expresso Bar is a coffee shop located on Main Street in Matawan. The menu encompasses drip coffee, espresso based beverages, teas, toast, sandwiches and pastries. The staff is friendly and helpful. Ordered was a drip coffee to stay-in. Served in a cup, it was very good. Upon inquiring, the origin of the beans were from Columbia and were comprised of 2 regions. My mantra for trying out an independent coffee shop is to try the drip first. If it's good, espresso is next. Stay tuned for my next visit. read more

This hidden gem of a coffee, lunch spot is truly a wonderful addition to Matawan. All the coffees that I have tried there are smooth and delicious. Never over roasted or burnt tasting like the other large coffee chain . So far, my favorite was the iced shaken cortado. It is double shot espresso with oatmilk and a touch of sweetened condense milk, I subbed the oatmilk for regular milk. I also had th Apple, brie and prosciutto on multigrain. Again, it's delicious. I can't wait to try the rest of their coffees to find my new favorite. I feel better supporting small businesses who really deserve our support. read more

I was so pleasantly surprised by this place. I had a perfectly made and delicious Cortado- I can't think of anywhere else in this area that's possible. I look forward to going back and trying something else. The inside was nice as well with good music playing. read more
