"I was sitting on the dock of the Bernardsville Bay" waiting for my client to arrive that day. When…read morehe finally arrived, being from the area, he suggested we have breakfast at the Coffee Shop. Yes, it is called the Coffee Shop. With such a large breakfast and lunch menu, it should be called something else like "Where Everybody knows Your Name". I could not believe all the high fives flying around. It's a relatively small shop with both booth and counter service. Clean with pictures covering one wall. I ordered the waffle with honey and assorted fruit ($10.00) and a cup of coffee ($2.75). Yes, it was sweet but that is why I ordered it. I have to say it was also delicious. If ever I'm in the area at lunchtime, I'm going to order the pastrami sandwich ($18). It is loaded with pastrami.

I have eaten here twice for breakfast. Both the service and the food were good. Lots on the menuread more

Delicious, no frills coffee experience with a side of character. Located across the driveway from…read morethe Claremont Tavern, inside of the house-looking building that is also part of The Bearded Dragon, Goldfinch is a gem of coffee bar. It's just one guy, Gabriel, but he runs a good show. I really enjoy the beans he selects. Often he will offer a shot of what he is brewing today to see if you'll like it. Latte, flat white, cortado, cappuccino - it's all good. The owner is friendly and social, and if you stop in on a weekend morning you'll likely see kids playing card games while their parents watch. It's intimate and social in way that is extremely rare in 2025. If you're shopping for a board game, card game, or gift at the Dragon, you should stop in. If you live in the area, think about making it part of your weekend morning routine. Hours are changing soon to be weekend only, so keep an eye out and don't show up when they're closed!

A long time customer was at the shop as well and we ended up chatting altogether. It was a really nice experience for f being part of a close community. The shop was cute and the coffee excellent. There are coloring pages with the coffee shop theme for us to color there or take home. Very thoughtful and welcoming place throughout. Highly recommend this place!

Okay, so you might be a little confused when you first arrive. But this is a wonderful little find!…read moreI was looking for a cafe to meet with a coworker for a bit in the area and our usual spot was already closed for the day. Of course, I jumped on Yelp and landed here: a tiny cafe with 4 arm chairs in the front section of a laundromat! The Wi-Fi was strong, my oat milk latte was delicious and the chairs were cozy. Also, the woman who took our order was so sweet and kind. When she saw me take out my laptop she brought me over a side table and even brought the paper with the Wi-Fi over and hung it up on the wall across from me. They had a slightly limited coffee menu, but you could definitely get drip and lattes here. My coworker got an iced tea as well. They had a few pastries as well if you are looking for something to munch on. A group came in while we were there and got bubble teas to go, so now I know of a wonderful new spot to get my boba fix! While this may not be the best for hunkering down to get work done (I mean, it was totally okay for us) it seems like a great place to 1) grab a drink to go 2) wait while you wash your clothes! If I needed a laundromat and was more local, this would be the no brainer place to go. It was clean, they were so incredibly friendly, and the drinks were delicious.

The place is small so there maybe a little bit of a wait depending on when you go. Staff was very swift, which I get because they need to get customers in and out to decrease wait time. So if you are looking for a place to talk with a friend after your table is cleanered off, this may not be the place for you. However, if you are looking grab a quick bite and coffee, tea, etc then you have hit the jackpot. My hot chocolate was super cute and my food was decent. I would return if ever in the area again.
