    S'mores
    Kelsey B.

    You better order online because the line is out the door at this Holmdel coffee institution! This is our go to spot in NJ for cold brews. I enjoyed the matcha and my husband got the S'Mores. Good coffee in an area that doesn't have much as far as authentic coffee experiences. One complaint my husband had was he wishes they would keep the mocha mint flavor year round and not seasonal.

    This is everyone's favorite coffee, right? Rook never ever disappoints. My cold brew is always the right color, not too sweet, and incredibly delicious. Other coffee just doesn't compare. I also love the unique limited edition cold brew releases. I just picked up the "Italian Cookie Style" and I cannot wait to try it!!!

    Mocha Cold Brew

    Got the cold brew mocha style and it was absolutely delicious! I would highly recommend trying out this coffee spot.

    This is the place where coffee dreams come true

    This place was such unique coffee spot. There wasn't alot of seating but they made up for it with awesome coffee and tons of swag that you can purchase. The batista was superfriendly and really made you feel welcomed coming through the door. I'll definitely be back .

    Mocha latte

    That Almond Croissant flew right down from the bakery in heaven my gosh, SO good. This was my first time trying this spot, so I asked the cashier for a recommendation and they were knowledgeable and helpful which is always great. If you're use to coffee with heavily sweetened syrups then this might not be the place for you. From my understanding the cold brew is infused with certain flavors but it is limited and subtle. I got a mocha "latte" and I enjoyed it. It tasted like good quality coffee and the mocha flavor was present enough. Can't wait to go back.

    This was the "regular" iced coffee

    My daughter ordered two iced coffees for us Saturday on my birthday. She Asked for light ice & milk for hers When I saw her coffee sitting at pick up area I honestly thought it was someone's half drunken coffee but it was hers that but literally looked less than 3/4 full. Mine was filled to the top , had pretty much the same amount of ice & mine actually had less milk, as it was darker in color. I asked the barista to please add some more coffee to my daughters & she said no because all iced coffees pre measured and had the same amount of coffee as mine. I understand the coffees should be pre measured but I do not believe this was done for her coffee at all. Really disappointing to see my kid spend $6 of her hard earned money & who is a frequent customer to have this. Definitely won't be frequenting this chain anymore ** as per the response post , I did send an email Sunday prior to this post but haven't had any response from customer service which prompted me to write this review

    Strawberry mocha with soy milk light ice extra milk
    Julianne A.

    Rook is an iconic Monmouth county place. This particular location wasn't that friendly and didn't fill my drink up fully. Even when I did extra milk less ice. And EVERYONES drinks were like that. The product is the same amazing drink but I didn't care for that.

    Seasonal Banana Toffee Coffee!
    Elizabeth P.

    I've only been here a few times as I don't live in NJ but my best friend takes me here every time and I always have something delicious. The whole place is very clean when you enter and it smells so good. We bought a big jug of the New Orleans style to take home and it is so smooth and rich! This time I got the seasonal banana toffee flavor. Though it sounded strange, and it was, the banana flavor did come through on the back end. Toffee couldn't be tasted as much but I will admit that fun novelty brew flavors can be kind of hard to obtain. I wish the coffee shops near me had unique flavors like Rook! Everyone working was very nice and answered all of my questions about the menu. I will continue to come back when I'm in town! This coffee shop is a gem!

    It's Friday- hope you stop by Rook today or this weekend! **** New seasonal coffee alert **** Toffee Style cold brew is available now at Rook. Smooth taste of caramel and vanilla, roasted to a delicious Toffee taste. GULP GULP !!!

    This is to report a serious health and sanitation concern…read more On Friday, January 16, 2026, at approximately 12:26 PM, I was inside the establishment when I observed a roach crawling on the wall. An employee, who appeared to be the manager on duty (as she was older and seemed to be overseeing the shift), attempted to kill the roach. When she grabbed it with a napkin, the roach fell onto the table. The employee then killed the roach and disinfected the table. However, this same employee had taken my order and continued handling service immediately after the incident. The food was served, but none of it was consumed due to the health concern. There was one other younger employee present, but they were not involved in the incident. Camera footage should confirm this event, as it would show the employee killing something on the wall during this time. Due to the seriousness of the situation, I also contacted the Health Department to report this incident.

    I've been passing this establishment ever since January. Having dined at other Noches locations…read more(Dover, which has closed and I was not crazy about their overcooked food) and Belleville/Bloomfield, which was very good. I decided to give this one a try. I finally broke down and stopped in for lunch on Saturday March 8. The place wasn't crowded. It's a bit spacious but not many tables. My first thought was that it would be hard to get a table at dinner time. I was seated immediately and my order came right away. The server was very seeet and friendly and always checked on me. I ordered a paellita noches with black beans as well as tostones (fried green plantains) I received the paellita that came with maduros (fried sweet plantains). I ordered black beans but Instead I got red beans. I let it go. The paellita was good and a huge portion. I had to take half home. I didn't care for the red beans. They were a bit tasteless. The tostones were bland and a bit too greasy. I added salt and dipped them in the beans. (I'm PR and we add salt as soon as the fried plantains come out the fryer so that it sticks or serve it with mojo). Tostones do not taste good bland. I may go again and try some different items, skip the tostones and make sure that I get my black beans. I'll update this review depending on my experience when I return.
