the food and coffee deserved 5 stars, but the service was not ideal. we sat outside, as there was a 3 hour wait for inside. we were told outdoor seating was a 30 minute wait, we ended up waiting about an hour. they were out of the coffee we originally wanted, but what we had (s'mores hot chocolate w/ espresso) was still delicious. if you sit outside, dress very warm. sandwiches were delicious and filling. read more

Incredible atmosphere, fresh home made breads, authentic Colombian pastries! What more could you ask for? Oh yes, the friendliest and kindest staff as well. I had the avocado toast and it was the actual best I've ever had. All the menu offerings are visually gorgeous. The coffee comes straight from Columbia and you can taste the difference. Fantastic all around shop - I will be coming back as much as possible! read more

Rey Sol Coffee - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Ridgewood, New Jersey

See all

The staff is rude and do not have any concern for customer service. The place is too small but they permit people to pack themselves in making movement impossible. If there was ever a fire I fear the outcome. We walked in on a Sunday morning and asked for a table and the person at the counter said it would be a half hour wait, even the seats at the window were taken, so we ordered our food to go. Two women who were seated at a table invited us to come over as they were leaving. We sat down and the two women who were sitting at the window counter walked over to the cashier and the next thing we knew we were told to Get Up so these two could have the table. I said if they were waiting for a seat then they should not have taken available seating to wait but everyone shrugged their shoulders and said nothing! RUDE!!!! Don't waste your time with this place where the price is inflated for subpar product. read more

By far the best coffee I had, great service, wide variety of options for flavors. The bakery is just as good. Such a clean and comforting cafe to visit, great aesthetic, even the bathroom is an eye catcher read more

Rey Sol Coffee - Iced Campesino w/ extra shot espresso - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Ridgewood, New Jersey

I coincidently was in the neighborhood, and I was craving coffee & dessert. Wow. So glad I chose this shop. The food, the coffee, & their Tres Leche. Everything was amazing. Definitely recommend! 10/10. read more

AMAZING food! My brother brought me and I now brought my husband and his brother! Will for sure come here again. We need more things like this in Ridgewood! read more

I LOVE this coffee shop! The vibe is so welcoming right when you walk in. I came with my 9 month old baby and sometimes worry that I won't be so welcomed into facilities while I have a baby with me. The barista took time to make this sweet art in my coffee - a mama and baby bear. The coffee was DELICIOUS and straight from my home country of Colombia. I've also had their almond croissant, an arepa, and a few other things on their menu and everything was so so good. I highly recommend this spot. Also recommend reserving a table if you plan to go on weekends as they get super busy. read more

Terrible service, the wait staff ignored my party the entire time so we decided to leave.

At first glance, this place seems to have it all. Spot on decor, ambience, menu and coffee. Will definitely be back to sample some of the food (and desserts!). read more

I came with a friend to grab a bite ! We were super happy with the service and food ! The iced coffee is adorable as it comes with ice in cute shapes mine was a teddy bear! I had avocado toast and my friend had a chicken wrap! We really enjoyed it and hope to come back. read more

Works of passion & love... This spot is our local fave! My Colombian brother from another mother and I spent a few minutes talking to the owners and their family... What a BEAUTIFUL concept... Vertically integrated farm to cup (the family owns and operates the coffee farm where almost all of their coffee beans are sourced... Such a heavenly spot... The aromas and Ridgewood NJ based roasting operation (literally in front of the space) BEST IN CLASS concept and execution... Bravo Rey Sol coffee! read more

Empanadas were underwhelming. Avocado toast was good, but some of the flavors were not balanced. I wouldn't come back. Service was slow. Staff weren't very friendly. Best part was the decor/vibe. read more

Never have I paid so much for a coffee, especially a non latte! I paid $7.49 for a bitter cold brew with vanilla and chunky oat milk. Absolutely insane. read more

Great chai latte and the owner was wonderful and inviting! It was super cool to see that the ice cubes for the iced coffee is made of coffee! read more

Coffee is amazing and the brunch was great too! Such a cute idea to have ice cubes as bears such a great Instagram moment

I have been here a few times since they open . It's a great place where you can indulge your morning coffee and pastries. read more

11/10 this place is amazing!! As I could see the kitchen everything was very clean and organized, they did all the Covid measures, the service was great and the food was SO good. You can tell all the workers are truly happy and know what they are doing. My new go to place!! read more

Such a cute coffee shop! The drinks were delicious the arepa Benedict was chefs kiss!! I will deff be going back!!

Great arepas. Would definitely come back just for them. But not a lot of seating so if you wanna come in for dine in I recommend putting a reservation. read more

So I want to start out by saying that me and my husband have been here a few time in the early part of the morning. We love the coffee and food is great. But today they had there intire family over and there service suck. First they rushed me out then the waitress who was to busy talking to her family took my plate of food always while my daughter was at the table and i was getting something at the counter. Never made it right I am very disappointed with them we drive 30 mins to get to this places and not sure if it's worth it anymore. They need to remember that customer are the one's who pay her salary so do right by them. read more

My husband and I have been here 20+ times and truly love the food and coffee, but the service is awful. It's happened multiple times that our drinks are made wrong and they look at us telling us it's what we ordered and get personally offended when we tell them it's wrong. The wait is also extremely long. You cannot just pop in for a coffee. It takes 10/20 mins of waiting on a drink which as I said, has ended up being wrong more than once. Such a shame bc it's a great spot with so much potential. read more

I finally tried this cute cafe last Sunday with my bf and wow!! We both loved it. So, so good! I will deff be back later this spring for more! I loved their fresh juice, it was deliciously fresh and just tasted like it was made at home. read more

I've come here twice for breakfast with my girlfriends and we are making it a staple for our meet ups! We like the chai lattes and appreciate that it can be made with oatmilk. The baked pastries are great to start with and all the breakfast options are great. The space is small inside and can feel a little hectic when figuring out what to order at the counter but the outdoor tables and service once you order is nice! Can't wait to go back soon! read more

Great food and coffee, we had a little bit of almost everything. Impressed with their attention to details.

The coffee was excellent, but there was a very rude worker who I'm almost positive is a manager who almost ruined my experience. Just think she should've been more professional... I wanted colombian coffee, not a sassy young colombian's attitude. But their coffee is really tasty, might just order online in the future. read more

This place is so adorable inside and the coffee tasted delicious! However, my friends and i waited close to two hours before we finally were able to sit down. We were told the wait would only be 40 mins to an hour so we were a bit disappointed. The lack of communication between the customers and the staff members furthermore made our experience not so pleasant. We were told that the kitchen was closing and we may not be able to eat, which was very disappointing considering we waited so long. But when we asked a different staff member we were told we would be able to eat. In general, we were given different instructions from different staff members. I understand that they were busy, but I felt uncomfortable and uninformed overall. After finally being told our table was ready, we had to wait another half hour before sitting down. We were told to pay for our food and drinks before sitting at our table and simply paying for our food took about a half hour. Regarding the coffee, the coffee itself was delicious. However, I got the dulce de leche flavoring which I could not taste in the coffee. The creamy rich coffee definitely made up for the lack of sweetness. For food, I got the vegetarian sandwich which was mediocre. I really want to give this place another chance. It has so much potential! read more

I spent the day meandering through the Ridgewood area today & found this cafe on yelp. Many reviews mention how Instagram-worthy this spot is. It is adorable. I ordered a latte & the alto del rey & took a window seat to people watch. I did partake of the fruit infused water while waiting on my order. I received my coffee with my food. They both seemed like they had cooled while waiting to be brought to my table. The chorizo was overcooked in parts--to the point that it was hard (not crunchy) & it was incredibly difficult to cut one of the arepas. The eggs were perfectly poached. Prices are on par with the neighborhood. I chose to not go back through line to give feedback on the meal, but improvement in execution & faster service would make this spot great. read more

Amazing breakfast sandwich and iced Campesino! Their special spiced syrup is the key to the coffee drink--I can't replicate that at home. The service was super quick and friendly. It gets busy in there, so plan accordingly. read more

The arepa here is delicious I tried the chicken arepa rellena and my friend had beef we loveddddd them! Highly recommend very cute cafe with delicious Colombian baked goods and different variation of coffees. read more

Rey Sol is so cute. Everything from the mini milk glasses they give you for your cup of coffee to the decor and ambiance. Lovely place! Whoever decorated really knows what they're doing!

Oh I almost forgot the the Coffee, yea that! Its AWESOME read more

Very nice place for coffee and breakfast or lunch snacks. Very original coffee and options available. My only observation is two of the cashiers need to learn how to talk and treat customers better. Everyone else is great. Highly recommend just ignore the cashiers. read more

Absolute gem. From the product to service and decor: 5 stars. We were very happy to find delicious food and coffee (and tea) with just the right balance of traditional and modern. Wide selection of quality coffee. Artisanal level empanadas and pastries. Make a reservation. Despite busy hour, we had polite and relatively prompt service. Very thoughtfully designed, good vibe. Highly recommend for a fun light lunch or snack, and coffee anytime. read more

Great coffee and great vibe!! Loved the location and service! Highly recommended. Thank you!!!
