They have the best hot chocolate in town. The staff are very friendly and approachable. We drive allllll the way from New Brunswick just for the hit chocolates here :). read more

Rockn' Joe - Hot chocolate - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Millburn, New Jersey

Its a cute little place where people go to hang with friends. I ordered a BLT sandwich and it was bread, bacon, lettuce, and tomatoes. There was nothing else in the sandwich. I was not expecting that. Their brownies, however are delicious. read more

This place is absolutely superb! My type of go-to place for a quiet work and eat session or just to chill. Food here are inexpensive and taste amazing! read more

While the coffee is great, and the staff is friendly and competent, the cleanliness of the restroom really changed my opinion of this place. We were there early on a Sunday, and the restroom trash was full to overflowing and the sink was filthy, as was the paper towel dispenser, the walls and the floor. I like that this location is less crowded and more comfortable than the Cranford spot, but I don't feel good about a place that can't keep the restroom clean. read more

There's a reason this place is bumping on a Thursday afternoon. Excellent coffee. Stellar food and a comfortable, welcoming ambiance. I like to come here and chill with a book when I have to study or take a break from the rat race. Staff are friendly, not pushy. The veggie omelette was on point. Cheese melted to perfection. Cold brew is my favorite but try the almond Americano if you're looking for a not so sweet variation. Highly recommended. Caldwell location is also just as good. read more

Very nice place. This is our first time here and the food was very good. We had brunch here on a Sunday. The tunafish bacon melt sandwich on grain toast was very good. We also had a piece of the warm marble crumb cake which was delicious. The coffee is definitely as good as they advertise. They have all different styles of coffee, as well as different unique sandwiches. My only con was there was only two outside very small tables on a busy sidewalk with no awning outside, and we really enjoy cafe's with outside seating and room to maneuver. We would definitely stop by again if we were in the neighborhood. read more

Rockn' Joe is probably my coffee place of choice in Millburn. Not a big fan of Starbucks unless it's the last option. I do like coffee mill roasters but there's the issue of the lack of seating... Therefore, Rockn Joe is the best place to be. They have a great selection of coffee, lattes, and even iced options. They have a huge beverage menu and on top of that, they have a pretty good breakfast menu as well. My boyfriend and I love coming here for the breakfast, however, my only issue is when I order avocado toast, they charge me the same as their specialty toastes (around $6.50) and when I ask for a scrambled egg on top they charge me on top of that too... When in theory, it's the same thing as their kale and egg toast which costs the same! (I can understand substituting the avocado for a surcharge of $1), but paying nearly $10 for avocado toast is ridiculous. Maybe going forward I will just get the regular toast... Despite that, we do like the breakfast option. Can be a tad pricey but about average for what you will find in Millburn. read more

Went tonight to this location for the first time. It's more spacious than the other ones I know so you can go with a group! Sam was working and was very helpful and friendly. The iced coffee was really good and the chocolate muffin is perfect. read more

Last week we stopped by because the chairs outside reminded be of the beach. My husband had a special for checking in on yelp. He was given a drink or a coffee. He took his phone up to the counter and the cashier was clueless about what yelp was even though my husband handed him the phone. He reluctantly make the small ice coffee. Therefore, my rating. read more

Excellent coffee! My favorite is the Van Halen, but honestly any of their coffees are delicious and come beautifully made. Staff is friendly and they answer any questions with a smile. Breakfast served all day long with many options. The decor has that hometown cafe feel. Great place for relaxing on your own or catching up with a friend. read more

Love their Van Halen latte and it's even better iced. This is a good space size for dining in but the menu is basic: salads, quiche and quick sandwiches. The main attraction here is their coffee. And rightly so. Cheers! read more

For a cafe, the food is restaurant quality! The food and drinks there are outstanding.

Cozy local coffee shop. Visited on a Sunday evening, it was pretty quiet though full of people (compared to other places in town that we completely empty). Free wifi and lots of seats available. Decent chocolate almond croissant. I think they also have live music on certain days but didn't experience that on Sunday night. read more

Friendly staff, and though the service is a tad slow, the drinks are made with care (my mocha had a pretty design in the foam) so I think it's worth the extra minute or two wait over going to Starbucks! The atmosphere is nice & they have free WiFi so I might go with my laptop to do some work. I haven't tried the food here, but I intend to! Particularly the desserts, which look incredible!! read more

Have been to Rockn Joes many times and live around the corner. Always stop by for breakfast or lunch after a bike ride. Food is great. Coffee is amazing. Love the outside chairs and seating. Classic rock in the background always a plus. read more

Cool local spot with French doors that open and add a nice spot to enjoy some coffee in a comfy club chair and nice weather. Great coffee and food! But I can only speak for their breakfast and bakery items. Affordable too! read more

First (very good) impression: Matt. Counter person/barista/waiter. Totally cool. Gladly (described some of the dishes, and) explained everything (to this first-timer). Remembered our names, even after much time/many people followed us. Solicitous & easy-going. I wanted to tell the owner what a good front-man he had, and Jay was also very warm & welcoming and appreciative. What an all-around pleasure. They both told me about the music scene there on Thursday evenings, too. Very good omelette and decaf coffee. And bonus: classic pop music, that I could play "name that tune" to. I'm definitely going back! read more

Great place to sit- option to get latte in mug - only have to order small or large. Medium comes in paper cup Food is serviceable. The one in Westfield a notch above. The lattes here are better than Starbucks read more

Matt the barista is the greatest! He makes the greatest drinks exactly how you ask for them or if you want a surprise they are always delicious! He treats everyone like family and remembers everyone's name, I don't know how he does it. Jay and Edgar make slamming food! From omelets to cheese steaks they got it down to a science! Get your butt there relax and enjoy. You won't be disappointed! read more

Better than Starbucks any day, freshly prepared lattes and a cool space to hang out.people are polite and keep the focus on great coffees and food. Desserts are crazy! Five stars! read more

Nice casual coffee joint. I liked the outdoor seating tonight. Breakfast options look great. Can't wait to come back and try them! Some nights they have live music too. read more

Reasonable prices. Can sit back and enjoy the coffee or smoothies without feeling rushed. Casual, artsy ambience. Haven't tried their breakfast items but they looked good! Will return. read more

Ideal local coffee shop. Friendly staff. Great music. Plenty of seating. Good coffee. Great cold brew. Close to the park. Not Starbucks.

Awesome city like coffee spot local. I got a latte and toast special. The toast (almond butter banana) bland and wouldn't order again. My husband's food and my latte made up for my poor choice in food!!! Would try it again! read more

I'm a fan of the Van Halen (a vanilla-hazelniut espresso drink), which they'll happily make with sugar-free syrup. The baked goods look tasty, but seem very overpriced, so I've never indulged in any. The ambiance is great, the music is suitably rockin', and it's in a central location. Could be worse, right? read more

I absolutely love this place and beg my husband to go with me frequently. Not the greatest service (one time they completely forgot my friend's entire order...they can also be super slow to make a piece of toast), however...food is worth the wait. read more

Was in the area over the past weekend and decided to try this place based on reviews. Great spot to relax and enjoy your coffee and breakfast. Staff is nice, coffee and my sandwich was excellent. I would go back again if I'm ever in the neighborhood. read more

They have allergy friend milks: soy, rice, and almond milk. The music on Sunday morning was nice too.

Great spot. There's a reason it's lasted longer than any other store that had this space in the past. Great coffee, food, environment, prices...The only reason it's not 5 stars is because I'm not sure if it's a high end coffee shop with some food options or a brunch/lunch eatery. Scale back the food options and expand the drink options if it's a niche coffee shop. Expand the menu and selections if it's going to be a eatery. read more

A great local chain and alternative to Starbucks. There is a nice assortment of food and the place has personality. Staff has always been friendly and I have often stayed for hours while grading papers. I have had the chicken caesar salad which was of good quality. Dark roast coffee is also very good. Prices are very reasonable and I think they have live music on certain days. read more

First time customer of this place...I wish this place is a walking distanc from my house, otherwise I'm hang around here more often. We came here for dessert and coffee...I noticed that they serve more than coffee and dessert. The place is cozy, w/ comfortable club chairs, book shelf, soft rock music...will definitely come back read more

See all

I did not think it was possible to mess up Belgian waffles. Apparently I was wrong. This place felt the need to add an excessive amount of sugar to the waffle batter... for no apparent reason other than to ruin what would have been decent waffles. read more

I had a chicken with avocado sandwich a long time ago. I didn't care for it. the cakes are pretty good. but its a cute place to just kick back and chill. I'll have to try something else. I def. love the music themed memorabilia. read more

I'm officially addicted to their latte! The coffee is so much better than Starbucks and the entire staff is welcoming & friendly. The live music on Sundays is great, just the perfect atmosphere to relax with friends. Even though I'm always on the run & usually have to grab my latte & dash, I enjoy being there. read more

The coffee and other drinks are really good. The only warning and my only tiff with the place is that there is a $5 credit card minimum. It's a coffee shop...HELLO most orders will be under five bucks. Major inconvenience and the staff are major sticklers about it too. Bottom line: come with cash or go elsewhere! read more

In just a block or two you can find half a dozen coffee shops. For those of you that enjoy Starbucks I recommend trying Rockin Joes. They have a great selection of coffees. The Sledge Hammer is my Fav' Its bold and not bitter, they also have a nice cold brew coffee. The people who work there are friendly, they have a comfortable seating area, and a good selection of store baked goods. read more

Excellent food, great service, great staff, great coffee, great atmosphere. Sitting area for quiet conversations or board games.

I absolutely love this cafe - it is so difficult to find authentic cafes. Rock' Joe is great - it has a lot of options based on what you like and also your food sensitivities. The coffee is amazing and they have live music! read more

I will definitely be going back! The food was good. Granted I only had a bacon, egg & cheese sandwich but it was definitely yummy. The portion size was good too. It wasn't an enormous monstrosity of a sandwich. It was just perfect for me and my picky 8 year old who exclaimed "I know why they call it Rockn' Joes cause this food is rockin!" read more

I love this cafe! My girlfriends and I went after dinner one evening and had an amazing time!! The service was impeccable and the cakes and drinks were perfection! They have an amazing selection of everything, but most of all it was their service that blew me away the most. Definitely a must go for coffee/ dessert lovers!! read more
