Cool spot for a quick coffee! Lots of different flavor and variety of coffees! They also have pastries as well , their located in a little strip mall so plenty of parking read more

I have always enjoyed DD coffee. Wanted to see what the rave was all about at Rook. Omg. Outstanding and what a taste difference from DD. I still get DD because I just can't spend $6 for a cup of coffee everyday. But if I could I would be at Rook every day! read more

My friends and I visited Rook Coffee for the first time on the way to the beach, and we're hooked! We all tried the New Orleans Style cold brew with a little milk and sugar, based on the barista's recommendation (who, by the way, was SO friendly and kind). We thought our drinks had a great balance - smooth, rich, and just the right amount of sweetness. The coffee spot is quite spacious, but there's no seating, which is something to keep in mind if you're looking for a place to sit and yap. However, they do have a bathroom. Pricing was reasonable (especially compared to NYC coffee prices). Definitely worth checking out if you're in the area! read more

This coffee spot was so good, the ambience was nice, they were playing Oblivion's Peak by Knocked Loose. The coffee itself was some of the best cold brew I've had. I loved how easy it was to customize my drink. We ordered online and our order was ready when we got there. I wish I had stayed longer! read more

For real this is the way I received my $6 coffee and was told it was too dark and no coffee could be added. Ok m over this place and the little meatball behind the counter. read more

Rook Coffee - a cup of coffee on the dashboard of a car - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Colts Neck, New Jersey

In my travels I'm always looking for a good cuppa joe. If I'm traveling with someone and they ask to stop at a coffee chain, I laugh as I drive past those places in search for a more artisan establishment. After 3pm I want a double macchiato and its not being served at those dopey chains. Macchiato means marked in Italian, so lets get out the Sharpie and mark my coffee spot on the shores of New Jersey. The Yelp app is bringing me to Rook Coffee. I pull up into a nice looking strip of stores. There are cement benches (covered in snow), large flower pots, it seems like a nice place to shop and sip some java. Walking inside is another story. Everything is roped off. There are no tables inside so no sitting, no standing, no touching, no nothing. Order your coffee and GTFO! While I'm looking, I see there are different brews available like guatemala coffee as well as New Orleans style cold brew? I ordered a cup of Guatemala, wow! A bold, fresh and rich taste. Rook Coffee is the goods! I came back the next day to try their Cold brew, Nawleans style. They nailed it, I had to buy a bottle to bring back to my home. It's so good to see a business that is serious about offering a great product. Rook Coffee, being from out of state, it was a pleasure to try your coffee. read more

This is pour over coffee, which I feel is better than espresso machine coffee shops. The staff is friendly and professional and of course the coffee is good. read more

I been coming to this place for years! The coffee is always delicious and taste so fresh! Definitely recommend!

I like the fact that they were bumping SiriusXMU and the New Pornographers were on. It seems like a younger crowd comes in here so the tunes made sense. Came in to pick up a couple of bottles of the Mexican Mocha Style cold brew (seasonal) I preordered the night before using their app. It was the closest store and didn't mind taking the trip since I'm always down at Asbury Park on the weekends (I usually take route 18). The crew was a little confused when I gave them my name and preordered the night before but someone recalled that they stored my 2 bottles in the fridge at the back of the house. I also ordered a large New Orleans style cold brew with almond milk and 2 equal. While they were making my brew, I decided to take the 2 bottles and put them in the car. I came back and asked one of the employees if it was worth it to grab a bagel from next door or head to the deli across the street. He then asked me if there was something he could help me with and I said I was waiting for my cold brew. Overall not a bad experience. read more

It seems no matter how I order coffee at Rook, they find a way to give me a cup that isn't full. The cup in this picture was ordered with a little half and half. And this is how full it came. I asked if I ordered it black if it would be filled to the top, and they said it would be. So I got a cup that's less full because I asked for half and half? This kind of shorting has happened to me time and time again at multiple Rook locations Hopefully Rook will learn that businesses like Starbucks became Starbucks because they didn't do this kind of nickel and dime stuff. They gave out free drinks when people were unhappy and they started with fantastic customer service. When you ask for light ice at Starbucks, you don't get a cup that's half full. It's just bad service and disrespectful to your customers, even if some will try to take advantage. Dear Rook - It's not just about having good coffee. read more

Rook Coffee - Mocha coffee - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Colts Neck, New Jersey

Text in your order or come in. Fast and friendly service. Excellent coffee!! No espresso beverages. They have hot and cold brewed coffee. Hot chocolate, muffins and health bars. Need a mug, brew cup, traveling mugs, clothes, reusable straws, cozis, pens and stickers? They've got them. No seats available but you can go next door for a bagel or pizza on the other side of Rooks. read more

Rook Coffee - Cloud Nine is excellent. It has a chocolate, nutty, and sweet taste. A definite reorder. - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Colts Neck, New Jersey

Solid coffee shop with interesting seasonal varieties. Pricing on par with Starbucks, but very limited selection. PS they don't offer teas...which is very odd, and a reason to avoid if you have that one tea drinker in the group order. read more

Went to Rook on the way to an appointment this morning. I ordered the coffee and I told the young lady "2 arrows down" and I asked if they still used that system. The young lady nodded yes. This used to mean just a little half and half. I went to my car and started driving and when I started drinking the coffee I realized it had way too much cream. I was too far away to go back. Also, it was not as hot as I like. Disappointed. I stopped elsewhere later to get a proper cup of coffee. read more

Tried the pumpkin spice cold brew, simple and tasty. The orders were a bit backed up this day but the staff was very friendly and helpful. read more

Rook Coffee - three cups of coffee on a table - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Colts Neck, New Jersey

Rook coffee is an excellent place for great coffee. I'm big on their New Orleans style cold brew with almond milk. It'll make you go mmmmm.... It's a small place, so there isn't any seating, really. The best thing to do is take the coffee to go and head on over to Delicious Orchards next store. You'll be able to pair your beautifully made coffee with some baked goods. The coffee will make you smile, while also caffeinating your tired body. Rook has some really cool merch, too. read more

Rook Coffee - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Colts Neck, New Jersey

Came in super early on Christmas Eve day so it was fairly empty. The staff were all ready to serve and were friendly, they answered all of my ridiculous questions! It's complicated... I'm complicated when it comes to my coffeee. Anyhow, they made it perfectly as I ordered it in a jiffy. All is good, highly recommended!! I'll definitely be there again during my short trip in NJ for the holidays. read more

the coffee was AMAZING. the girl working at the register was so sweet and knowledgeable on the different things they had. the merchandise was so cute as well. very cute atmosphere. the coffee was decently priced for what you get and for how good it was! will be going back here if we are ever in the area again! read more

Rook Coffee - a cup of iced coffee in a car - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Colts Neck, New Jersey

I'd give 0 stars if possible. 10 mins for a medium black coffee. Pumping out endless to go orders while I stand there and wait. Terrible

Love your coffee, not complaining!! Please raise your coffee tenders percentage for tip on the POS. I wanted to give 20% which is the standard. They deserve 20% tip! The highest option was 15% at this location. Thank you! read more

I've always wanted to try their coffee and luckily I was in the area so I finally tried it. The place is not that big but they also have outdoor seatings. Menu is very limited but I bet all of it is good. I tried the New Orleans cold brew(dark roast) and it's sooo good! They put just enough cream/milk and you can taste the coffee unlike other places where you can taste more milk than the coffee itself. And the girl at the counter was very helpful on the differences of the coffee they serve. I just wish I lived closer coz for sure I'll be here everyday lol! read more

Excellent coffee. Nice people. Please add tables. Also tell me why an ice coffee cost 5 dollars. If you take the ice out you won't find much coffee. read more

Rook Coffee is truly the place to go for a reliable cup of coffee. At so many of these chain coffee shops I find myself ordering a delicious drink once and then when I go to order it again, it tastes different and is not nearly as good. That is not at all the case with Rook. My "latte style" iced coffee with milk is ALWAYS made to perfection. It's so delicious and strong but does not require any sweetener. By far my favorite coffee drink. read more

Rook Coffee - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Colts Neck, New Jersey

I go to Rook all the time and have been to most of the locations. I knew my coffee felt a little on the light side this morning. I get that it's a pour over but theres almost an inch gap to the top of my cup. This has happened once before but I shrugged it off as a fluke and now I'm nervous it's becoming a trend. This is not acceptable Rook, especially for how much I am paying for this cup of coffee. I expect it to be full. Check your cups before you leave. read more

Rook Coffee - Almost an inch from the top!? - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Colts Neck, New Jersey

In the area for my daughters cheer competition. Stopped in for my morning coffee because our hotel was a disaster and didn't have any of the amenities promised . This shop and the nice gentleman who helped me , saved my morning ! I enjoy specific notes in my coffee and it's hard to find someone who can help and has the knowledge. This place hit a home run!! read more

Okay okay, I have given Rook (all locations including this one) additional chances and I gotta say - now that I've found my drink, I like it! I recommend all new people to try a "New Orleans style with almond milk and raw sugar" because it is by far the best thing to get on the menu! Since my first review, I have learned that Rook just doesn't do seating and isn't a cafe. It's a coffee joint that you snag and go - which has become more apparent when trying other sites! The staff are all super hipster, which is cool if you're into that. The Colts Neck location has the best parking by far! read more

Great quick coffee spot. Busy plaza. New Orleans coffee is the best. Highly recommend

Went to Rook for the first time and was so impressed. As a black coffee lover, this is my new go to. I tried the cinnamon vanilla which was such a good taste, it wasn't too much, it was perfect. Wish it came in the to go cold brew containers. The smoothest coffee I've ever had. Wish it wasn't so expensive but you 100% get what you paid for. read more

Tried the cold brew latte style, very smooth! The beans they use are pre-packaged in metal tins stored on the wall, and they brew each cup by the pour-over method. They currently have the Peppermint Style coffee, and the chalkboard is so cool! Tip: don't forget the stamp card! Buy 10 get 1 free. read more

Rook in general is great. Coffee is the best. Was out and about today and popped into this rook for the first time. Greeted with a typical friendly smile but wasn't a fan of how the girl working spoke to and about my son. Was actually kind of blown away by the rude comments. read more

Ahhhhh finally a Rook on the way into the office, a dream come true. You won't be disappointed with any of the simple, straight forward , awesome hot offerings. I had never delved into cold coffee until Rook - try the New Orleans cold brew with bold flavors to jump start your day, traditional cold just as good and limited edition pumpkin spice cold a super treat. Oh and the granola bars mmmmm mmmmm mmmmm! Staff warm and friendly - wonderful reception to start your day. read more

Rook Coffee - Pick up a bottle of cold brew concentrate for days when a rook is out of reach - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Colts Neck, New Jersey

A great local business with strong coffee (The New Orleans is one of the only things that can wake me up in the morning). While there is no seating inside, there are tables outdoors for the nicer weather. Quick, friendly workers that recognoze customers easily, making you feel welcomed. Pricing is about equivalent to Starbucks but quality is beyond compare. My coworkers introduced me to this place and now I recommend Rook to everybody. Also, I text my order every time so I know stopping in wont delay me for work. read more

Rook Coffee - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Colts Neck, New Jersey

You will wait 15 minutes to get a normal cup of coffee. Had to leave as pouring a cup of coffee should be fast, not a 15 minute wait. Staff seems confused and can't get organized with orders. Many customers call in their order which is smart. read more

I used to have this thing against Rook - it just seemed pretentious and I can't stand the stickers on peoples car... But DAMN their cold brew traditional is top notch. LOVE IT! I even purchased the bottles of cold brew they sell in the store (it wasn't the same), but I am sold. If you're passing by on your way to the shore, definitely recommend this place for a quick coffee stop. read more

Best coffee around. Made to order. Not coming out of the urn like most places. Def a must if your a coffee nut. Multiple blends and up beat employees that make you feel welcome, not like corporate political ran $hitbūčks. They come out with limited release blends often and they always rock. read more

Rook Coffee - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Colts Neck, New Jersey

Love the new mint cold brew! Seasonal additions like gingerbread and pumpkin spice are fun too. It's great to be able to get interesting lattes with a good selection of alternative milks and without the unhealthy syrups, sugar, etc. The staff is always friendly too! read more

Coffee is very tasty but the service at Colts Neck site is terrible. Young kids-polite but very inconsiderate. I bought 3 coffees, nobody offered to place it in carton holder for transportation, lids were not protected from spilling and nobody really cared to make sure that lids were on tight. My car took a bath in Rook coffee on the way to work! I will really think twice before I go in THAT store again. read more

Best coffee ever and they are doing a great job of keeping everyone safe and healthy!

Coffee is great. Service definitely needs some work. The employees here will stare at you without asking hi how are you or how can I help you. I feel like they think they're doing me a favor by serving me my coffee that I come in so often for. This is the closest rook to my house but the others definitely provide better service. Rook is an awesome overall establishment so it's sad to see it be brought down by some of their workers. read more

Love the coffee and most of the time service is great! However, I've noticed as of late "text" orders are not prioritized. What is the point in texting an order in when I have to wait 15 minutes off to the side to get my order? This should location should staff accordingly. read more

I love Rook! This store, like the other ones, is always clean, quick and efficient. The staff is friendly and knowledgeable. One thing I love about Rook is that it is independently owned and you can tell by how well-run it is. It doesn't have that detached, corporate vibe to it where the employees are like robots and there's always litter and crumbs on the floor. I also love that it is a "walk-thru" establishment, so you go in, buy your coffee, and go on with your day! It frees up employee time to not have to constantly be cleaning tables, so they have more time for the important stuff: MAKING AMAZING COFFEE! You can find pastries, granola bars, Jones Bars and bagels here as well. read more
