    Belgian waffles and fruit
    Maria J.

    The atmosphere is wonderful, and the workers are friendly and accommodating. What I ordered required the oven and they said the oven was out of order, so she quickly suggested something else. It was actually a little more expensive, but they didn't charge me the extra. The coffee was good a little on the cold side so they gave me a new one. I'm sure they're trying to get the kinks out but the place is adorable and they have many different coffees and they offer many great options for breakfast/brunch. I'm sure they just need a little more time to get all the kinks out. I will definitely go back and highly recommend it.

    Got a dark roast caramel iced latte. Very smooth and easy to drink. Pretty simple and not very sweet. Sophia was very informative, this was my first time here and she advised I go with the dark roast blend as it isn't as acidic. Plenty of areas to hang out and sit or do work. Definitely a beautiful cafe.

    Lots of seating and sunlight in the front. We ordered two coffees to stay, as we had about twenty minutes to kill. We should have ordered them to go as it took ten minutes to receive. Service was nice, just so slow even though it didn't seem that busy. The coffee was good, a little too much foam on the latte. But the prices are very high, even for a speciality coffee shop.

    This was delicious! I got the avocado toast and it was sooo good. My friend got a mocha latte and a Caesar salad and my husband got a panini. Everything was great! The space was really cute and the baristas were super nice. I will definitely come back. There was so many good things on the menu, I can't wait to try them all.

    AI Picture of a Book Shelf

    Don't go here expecting a cozy book store/library feel, it's a very sanitized millennial burger joint type. In fact, despite the name being a play on Library, I clocked maybe two real books in the building and a hilarious, giant AI picture of a bookshelf wrapping the wall. The coffee is very expensive for what it is, it's not necessarily bad, it's just painfully average. Service was good as well, no knock on the employees. I think first place to start improving here would be a real bookshelf.

    Friendly staff, cozy atmosphere, and a great selection of drinks and food. Lyberry Coffee opened its doors in Cranbury last month and its a great addition to the town. The atmosphere inside is welcoming with sofas, high top tables and regular tables. The servers and staff seem happy to be there and greeted the customers accordingly. I look forward to going back and trying some their food items as well as coffee. On this particular visit, I tried the Ghirardelli Smores Hot Chocolate. It was a beautifully presented drink, that caught my idea as others customers were sipping on it. However, it's just not for me.

    Very cute cafe! Definitely want to come back to try the food or pastry in the future. This review is for a quick run in for a latte. Appreciate that the drink was made exactly as expected. It was not too sweet, which we prefer and light ice actually came out with light ice. Would highly recommend to make a stop. Love supporting the small businesses in this area of town. The barista took time to explain the different coffee options. It also looks like a nice spot for studying, which was nice because it was nicely lit and lots of open space.

    This new coffee shop recently opened up and it's definitely going to be a regular spot for me! The vibes are so cute inside, and there is a great selection to choose from. There is plenty of seating and different types - sofas, tables with chairs, booth/bench seats, and even high stools. They have wifi and tables so this is a great spot to get some work done while having a nice treat or chatting with friends. So many books to fill up the place and great artwork and bold colors! I love it. There are little chandeliers with lights on them that add such a nice, cozy, and elevated touch. The layout is well thought out and designed for many people to enjoy. Going into the menu, I got an iced chai latte and it was delicious, tasted just the way I like it, and no flavor was missing with almond milk. It had the perfect amount of spices and I was thoroughly impressed. The hot dirty chai was also great. They also have a variety of teas, coffees, wraps, salads, and toasts, which I will be checking out next time I come! They even had a "frullati" which is an Italian gelato smoothie -- I was super intrigued. Of course I had to check out all their pastries on display! The employee told me that they are all delivered from a Brooklyn bakery every morning, so I couldn't resist a yummy pastry. They also had quiches which I definitely want to try next time (the mushroom and broccoli cheddar really stood out to me!!) After lots of debate, we ended up satisfying our sweet tooth with the Nutella Kouign-amann, which was like a cruffin with Nutella and so delicious, flaky, buttery, cinnamony, and sweet!! So tasty and I wish I got a few more items to go to try later. Just gives me a reason to go back!! This is already a new local favorite of mine, can't wait to return!

    Lyberry Coffee is a recently opened business in a new shopping complex just a few minutes away from the main core of Historic Cranbury. I always like trying out a new local coffee spot and go in with low expectations, but wasn't impressed here. The interiors are interesting with artwork on display, and walls with painted bookshelves. Having been to a nice cafe recently with actual books, the effect was a bit lost on me with that choice of decor, but interiors are otherwise modern and decent for a coffee place. They have a menu of Italian coffee/expresso drink products, a few bakery items, and a limited food menu of breakfast/brunch type items. We went for a quick drink and pastry experience, so got a large drip coffee, a large latte with mocha shot, and an almond croissant. Both the coffee and the latte (2.5/5) were very average with regards to quality and taste. The latte was presented nicely, but you can get much better at nearby places at lesser cost. Prices add up as it's an additional cost for any flavor/shot, which other places generally have built into drink prices. For a "large" drink size, the quantity served in the mug was small compared to other coffee places (probably more like a medium). The service was a bit odd, as the person bringing drinks out to tables simply pointed us to the self service counter when we asked for napkins and milk for the coffee (not sure why they ask for gratuity when purchasing if you are expected to get things yourself). The almond croissant (1.5/5) looked great, but was very dry and underwhelming. Quite honestly, it had the taste and texture of 1-2 day old pastry, as it didn't taste fresh and left a mess of crumbs (a fresh pastry is airy and flaky, but doesn't leave that kind of mess). It had some flavor accents of almond, but the overall poor quality of it made for an unpleasant pastry experience. As others have noted, the place is pricey, which you don't mind as much if the quality is high, but for a questionable 1-2 day-old pastry and underwhelming caffeinated drinks, not a place that I'd recommend to others. Others seemed to be enjoying their food experience, so maybe they're more suited for breakfast/brunch, but Lyberry Coffee isn't a place I'd be inclined to visit again anytime soon based on my first impressions.

    Very nice service, food was fresh good. Coffee was excellent. It was pricey ($10 for a bowl of Cheerios) but it's a nice treat. New favorite, I'll be back a lot.

    We had a reservation and were seated promptly. The menu had a nice assortment of items. Our server…read morewas accurate and prompt but totally deadpan. Our drinks (pear-licious martini and appletini) were good but filled so full that there was spillage on the bottom of the glass when they were served. I had the goat cheese poppers which were delicious, as was the apple salad that accompanied them. I also had a side - apples Brussels sprouts, butternut squash & celery root - a fabulous combination that I thoroughly enjoyed. The others in my party had a burger (too well done but ok) and rare seared tuna (yummy) with the same veggie side. For dessert, we tried 3: warm chocolate chip cookies (very good), baklava (ok), and espresso creme brûlée (good). We had espresso and coffee as well - which were both accompanied by biscotti which went home for a morning snack. Our reservation was 7p on a Thursday near Christmas. The place was packed with lots of larger parties and what appeared to be a holiday party. So it was LOUD and hard to hear each other speak. As the crowd thinned out, it got much better.

    Friend booked this place for a large birthday brunch. There were around 16 of us total, and they…read morewere definitely able to accommodate for every one. I got a forest omelette. The omelette was a bit dry, and it wasn't really my favorite. The sausage was nice and snappy though. One of my friends got the eggs Benedict which she thought was alright. Desserts were shared around the table: carrot cake, cannolis and blueberry pie. The taste was a bit artificial and each dessert was very dry. Despite having a large party, the dessert was not finished. I like how there's plenty of parking in the back. I believe this diner has been open for quite some time. I'm not sure if it's bc when we came here it was a holiday weekend and it was super busy, but everything to me just was a bit subpar.
