Great coffee and team- I second the reviewer who said Fair Mountain has the whole package! It's clear they know their coffee and are passionate about their craft, and they were generous about answering questions, sharing knowledge, and making suggestions. The barista directed me to a drink that hit the spot (iced cortado) to cool down after an impromptu beach day. They change their beans (I think daily but I was flying high on the great convo and didn't catch if it was weekly or daily) so you can try their different batches. They roast in house/on premise and sell beans (all stated organic and the decaf options state water processing). I'm not local so unfortunately I can't enjoy this every day but I'll be back- this is worth the drive! If you're local, do yourself a favor and stop by for a delicious coffee infused with intention. Thank you so much for a wonderful experience! read more

A true hidden gem with some of the best coffee I've had in a long time. The space is cozy, rustic, and full of character--exactly the kind of place where you can lose track of time. The staff is friendly and knowledgeable, and the menu features certified organic and fair-trade options, which makes you feel even better about your caffeine fix. I grabbed a cold brew and took it straight to the beach--perfectly bold and smooth, no bitterness, and just what I needed to kick off a summer morning. It held up beautifully even in the heat (and the sand!). Inside, the atmosphere is relaxed but curated. Old-school wood finishes, bikes hanging above the counter, and a chalkboard menu give it a local, lived-in feel without trying too hard. Whether you're grabbing beans to go or hanging around for a pour-over, this place nails it. Highly recommend making this a regular stop if you're in the area--or even worth a detour. read more

This cafe is such a hidden gem. Their coffee is the best coffee I've had in NJ hands down, I wish they had more locations.

Fair Mountain is the whole package...Great coffee, atmosphere and kind knowledgeable staff!

Updating my review to 5 stars, as they've been consistently nailing my go to macchiato. It's so creamy you'd think it had dairy! read more

I love my latte, and this place Delivers ( with a big D). Even without any sugar, their beverage tasted somewhat sweet, probably defined by a lack of extraneous acidity and bitterness. The taste and the price ;-) made it to be a true treat. We loved the personal and friendly service here. They make you feel welcomed. I highly recommend it for any coffee lover. read more

If you're looking for real, authentic coffee this is the place to visit! There are a selection of coffees imported from all over the world & each have a unique flavor. I often do not drink coffee unless I add a ton of sugar to it and usually cannot tell the difference between one that's higher or lower quality. When tasting 2 different coffees, I was able to taste the difference and didn't have to add a ton of sugar to enjoy them. The coffee beans are roasted and grinded right when you order them. This is such a great place, would absolutely recommend it to everyone! read more

worst experience i've ever had. hate to say it because the place was so cute but left the coffee shop in actual tears. mean baristas!

Excellent quality coffee. So much better than Starbucks and Dunkin. The people working there are also true baristas and you can tell they're genuine coffee lovers. I will keep coming back. read more

The coffee and the hospitality here is amazing! I truly recommend visiting here! Love how they explain each product they sell. read more

What a great place. The staff is super knowledgeable and a pleasure to deal with. I will definitely keep coming back.

To be honest, I am a tea drinker. Having said that, I must admit that this is the only coffee that could convert me to a coffee drinker. This is truly perfection, and compares to nothing else I have tried over the years. The beans are measured each time before being ground down, so each cup will consistently taste the same with every visit. The staff is friendly & knowledgeable, the shop is cozy, and there are many varieties of coffee available for purchase. In addition, there are wonderful bakeries nearby to provide a treat to enjoy with your beverage of choice! read more

Excellent Cold Brew coffee! I will be coming back!

Very nice service. I passed the roastery by accident, because it kind of blends in by quickly found it again. Walking in you can see the roasting equipment and a bunch of coffee, honey and jams for sale. I had their cold brew, which they had two types: a sweetened coconut one and the house blend. I went for the house blend and it was both strong and smooth. I also bought a small bag to go, which was out of stock in the front but they quickly filled a fresh bag for me. read more

I have been looking for quality jamaican blue mountain coffee for months now and came across Fair Mountain Coffee Roasters. I order a pound for $60. They shipped it and I received it in a day. This JBM is amazing! If you're looking for JBM then look no further! Great price, amazing shipping speed, and awesome customer service! They even shipped a free Yirgacheffe sample because I mentioned that it was the coffee i normally drink but couldn't currently find it in my area. Thanks Fair Mountain Coffee Roasters!! read more

Nothing like having my favorite organic brew while on vacation in the mountains. Thanks for another great trip away with good coffee to start the day. This was Mocha Java. I order that and full moon once a month. read more

Thank you guys for introducing me to what coffee SHOULD taste like. So far, Greg's blend is my favorite, but I have so many more to try.. read more

So nice to be drinking coffee roasted only a few days before it arrived. Fair Mountain also has a remarkable range of varietals facilitating personal blending at home. Only drawback--the website no longer allows ordering of half pound bags. Booo! read more

Greg and Barbara are fantastic people with wonderful love for roasting the best coffee I have had. A small, local business, always a great cup of coffee, and even better conversation. Don't forget to grab a pond or two to take home! A awesome selection of fresh coffee, whole bean or ground to your liking. Honored to call them my new local favorite! read more

Best espresso beans in the world....and I'm not exaggerating about that. I love espresso... I love making it...I've traveled all over the world for work. And I've not found a better blend for espresso. FULL MOON .provides the perfect crema with a semi sweet chocolate tasting espresso with hint of cherry. read more

THE BEST COFFEE AROUND! GO! They know their stuff and roast it right on spot. Try the cold brew too! I love the Nicaragua, while my husband likes Full Moon, Greg's Blend, and Ethiopian... The owners, Greg and Barb are helpful and delightful! read more

One of our best discoveries of 2013. Their Full Moon is now our absolute favorite coffee. You can't beat freshly roasted coffee, the smell alone is a treat. You also get the inside story of the all coffees journey to your cup. Greg and Barbara know coffee and they clearly love what they are doing. A destination for coffee lovers. read more

The African coffees are my go to blends, especially the Kenyan. I highly recommend checking them out. Very good roasted coffees at a good price. The coffee is always fresh with lots of choices. read more

So excited I discovered this place last year. Not only is their coffee amazing...but so is their customer service. Couple of times I completely ran out of coffee and they delivered my order to my doorstep same day! loyal Fair Mountain customer for life. "Full Moon" blend is our favorite thus far. read more

Barb & Greg the owners of Fair Mountain Coffee are committed to bringing you the BEST cup of coffee on the planet. They have traved the world just to find the perfect bean & their hard efforts have paid off. You MUST try their Nitro Cold Brew...one word AMAZING!!!!! The Nicaragua has a hints of cocoa & walnut with black currant. Don't worry they will ship to YOU!!! It's so worth every drop. Best coffee ever :D read more

Fantastic company. Their Guatemalan blend is our new favorite coffee. Have ordered beans online as presents for friends and they love it. Fair Mountain's selections are well curated. Support small business and treat yourself. read more

Consider yourself a coffee expert? Do you use a burr grinder and a french press to serve your coffee? Does the idea of flavored coffee disgust you? Are you the type that is appalled by people who keep their beans 'fresh' by freezing their beans? Then make your way over here. The owners, Greg and Barb, really know their beans. They roast organic, free trade beans from around the world on site in small batches. We are blessed to have their collective knowledge in town. Prepared to be schooled. read more

I was in search of something refreshing and caffeinated this morning, and I'm so glad I found this place! There's not much in the way of seating, I think their focus is much more on roasting than being a "coffee shop"-- which is fine by me because they seem to be doing a great job! The people working were incredibly friendly and welcoming. I just got an iced coffee and was surprised to see it served from a nitro tap!! I've never seen coffee served this way before so I was quite impressed. It gives the coffee a unique (and enjoyable) flavor. I will definitely be back in here to try more. read more

A coffee lovers' must go place! The smell is heavenly here! and all their coffee are organic! Tried Mocha Java (medium roast), Kenya (medium roast) and Honduras (decaf), they were all delicious, each of them has their own unique fragrance and flavor. Purchased bags to take home, will definitely be back for more! read more

I moved back to NJ in 2007 and have tried cafes and roasters all over NJ and NYC. I've found none better than Fair Mountain Coffee. I buy their whole beans and brew at home with a Hario V60, I prefer med-dark to dark roasts and theirs are all deep, rich flavor, without any unwanted bitterness and acidity. My favorites are Peru, Nicaragua, Kenya and Greg's Blend, but they are all great. Also be sure to try their Cold Brew Iced Coffee on Nitro tap, imagine a Guiness/iced coffee hybrid, it's the best most unique iced coffee I've had. If you're in the area you can find them at the Red Bank Farmer's Market on Sundays from 9-2, May-November. Great people, great customer service, environmentally- and socially-responsible business practices, and absolutely amazing coffee--give them a try, you'll be glad you did! read more

World Class Coffe right in Fair Haven. Try gregs Blend!! The nitro infused coffee on tap over ice. Yummy. They should bottle the stuff!

Great coffee roasted perfectly. My favorite is the Greg's Blend. I drink it iced and hot. Delicious both ways.

Incredibly good coffee beans. The friendly duo in the shop directed us to the beans that fit our palate exactly. Definitely worth a visit for a cup and friendly chat, and be prepared to drink a lot more coffee -- it's that good. read more

WHAT A TREAT! The aroma surrounding this place is so delicious I can't help but wander in after a class at Selfless Love Yoga (next door) for some of the best coffee on the planet! The rustic ambiance of this hometown happy place coupled with the kindness of The Owners, Greg and Barb, make this MY GO TO EVERY TIME! Freshly roasted in-house, with so many different exotic blends to try, this place is a coffee lover's dream! Greg and Barb have traveled the world gaining expert knowledge of their craft and it sure does taste like they know their stuff! read more

I am a total coffee snob. I have had coffee in Columbia so I know what is great coffee. This company truly roasts the finest coffee I have tasted in this country. I can not recommend this coffee enough. I encourage you visit them at the Red Bank Farmers market. I have two popular roasters very close to my home but Fair Mountain is the only coffee will drink! Try it you'll love it!!! read more

Spectacular coffee. While they sell it at Whole Foods and local farmers' markets, it's worth the trip to the Atlantic Highlands location. Though be sure to check their hours before heading over. Lots of choices...my favorite is Greg's Blend - consistently smooth, easy drinking coffee with enough body that keeps you wanting more. read more

Picked up a medium roast and blend that was half dark and half light roast. They were both super dark and had that Starbucks ash tray taste.

I've been saving money!!!! One of their first customers, a professional chef in NYC for over 30 years,I have a finicky palate. Having discovered the different taste of hand select artisan roast, most important fresh roast to order coffee bean ,I'm hooked. Every time I taste another coffee I'm disappointed. So I've given up coffee except for my fresh ground and brewed at home. In a restaurant I might get a cappuccino but that's it. This might sound a little crazy .... But when your in the Bussiness of and your value is in your taste buds it starts to make sense. I drink two pounds of Fair Mountain Coffee a month. I've tried every type of bean they have ever roasted. One is better then the next!!!!! This is a world class ROASTER! read more

A great variety of beans from around the world. Always roasted perfectly and the nicest people around!!!

This was definitely the best coffee I've ever tasted. Each blend is smooth and unique and tastes delicious. I always find myself five cups of coffee in and still unable to stop! They have great customer service, as well and are always genuine and thoughtful. Try some - you'll be hooked instantly. read more
