    Love Rook, they always give you a great cup of coffee. Red bank is such a cool area to walk around and hang out. The service was on point, they were very quick to get the coffee to us. Thanks rook red bank!

    Cute little mugs and glasses

    I've heard the name Rook so much that I feel like I've been here many times before, but nope! This was my first visit. Their menu was really simple, basically just hot coffee, iced coffees and a mocha. I asked for a latte, but they don't do espresso. No problem! I never mind a place that has a simple menu but does it really well. My medium roast black coffee hit the spot as I walked between a few different places on a cold day. The tiny shop had some cute mugs and can glasses I was super tempted to buy and the staff was really friendly. What more can you ask for in a little neighborhood shop!?

    Little Silver not too bad but definitely not all full
    Dominique S.

    Ive always loved Rook and made it a point to go out of my way to find one as we don't have them in South Jersey (hence why im not giving a lower star rating as this is a new issue). Yesterday, I went out of my way to stop for a morning coffee at the Little Silver location. Delicious coffee as usual, however, the cup was not full. I ordered a "bigger" and chalked it up to a mis-measurement and went on my way. This morning I went to the Red Bank location, a little further out of my way to see if it would be different. To my astonishment the cup was almost HALF EMPTY (or HALF FULL depending how you look at it)....again, i ordered "bigger" to get more coffee, but feel like i was served a mini. I dont think this amount of coffee would have even filled the regular cup. Extremely disappointed and probably won't return for my last day of class in the area. Ill sleep in the extra time and get a full coffee elsewhere. Simply not worth the money to coffee ratio anymore.

    Insane art work on their cups. Talented artist!! From one of Miyazaki's film but I can't recall which one.

    Very good and consistent coffee at very reasonable prices. The employees all follow a formula which is why the coffee is always consistent. They carry various roasts: dark, medium and mild. My personal favorites are Costa Rica, Bali, and Mocha Mint cold brew, depending on the time of day. My only complaint is they do not have espresso drinks. Great location and the employees always friendly, making you feel welcomed. This is just around the bend from the Main Street but not too far in that you feel you are going out of your way. There are no tables for sitting down and they do offer contactless pay and have a rewards app.

    Gingerbread style coffee
    Sarah C.

    I enjoy stopping at Room for coffee when near one of their locations because I enjoy supporting local coffee shops. I enjoy the coffee at Rook because I like a darker, stronger roast. If you prefer a super light roast, their coffees may not be your thing. I enjoy their seasonal options too, such as the gingerbread style hot coffee and the cinnamon vanilla cold brew. They have many different kinds of coffee, which is fun to try out the different kinds and flavors offered for those who really enjoy different origin coffees. You won't find any espresso type drinks here if that's what you're looking for, though their hot and cold brewed coffees are worth a visit. It can get pretty pricey here, with brewed coffee similar in price to a latte elsewhere. The service is usually good across their locations, but it can get busy so you might have to wait a little while at times. Ordering ahead on the app definitely helps, especially around busier times of day. There isn't a seating area inside, so it's a grab and go place, instead of a coffee shop you might sit and work in.

    Solid coffee. Actually was impressed with the flavor but was a little disappointed they didn't have many flavor additions such as Caramel... they only had simple syrup. It was still good but took a bit longer to make. Maybe that's because the staff was playing around and jumping on each other - it's nice they love each other and they did have masks on but c'mon. Seems the best thing to do is order ahead!! Will know for next time so I can get in and out a bit quicker!!

    New Orleans Style Cold Brew
    Jessica G.

    Amazing cold brew. Would go out of my way to go. Makes me want to drink cold brew even when it's cold outside. Get the New Orleans with Oat Milk - you won't retret it. It's criminal there is a Starbucks next door!

    Good coffee. Small place with nowhere to sit though. We actually went next door to Starbucks to go sit down.

    Whenever I am in Red Bank I stop off and pick up their beans for home use. More of a takeout place but excellent, consistent. quality

    Pros: I loved the open view kitchen into the seating area…read moredesign. It makes the experience personable not to mention you can see how organized and clean the kitchen is. I received friendly and lighthearted service from the man who took my order. One thing that I thought was pretty cool and have never seen before was a "color wheel" for coffee. It was a visual way to show your preferences on what your preferences are on coffee appearance once the milk is added. My chicken salad sandwich was delicious, not too filling and made on very soft enjoyable bread. Room for improvement: Maybe because I stopped in at 1 pm on a Wednesday I felt like the seating area was poorly maintained. The floor really needed to be swept so it actually felt like of dirty sitting there eatting. There were a handful of people spread out with their laptops etc. One person was actively taking a call so it felt like you at work with them. Another had a small dog that she was carrying around people eatting while the leash/harness laid on the floor near her table. I'm all for dogs being allowed to be in eateries but the whole sit in experience felt dirty for me (especially based on the price I paid) and wouldn't be something I'd repeat. Long story short, the customer service while ordering is great but take your order to go.

    As soon as i walked in I gasped. They have a full kitchen, several baked goods, coffee and so much…read moremore. The barista was awesome, attentive, funny, and kind. I got an everything bagel toasted with scallion cream cheese, and it was absolutely amazing. The bagel was nicely toasted and crunchy on the outside and nice and soft on the inside. Their food menu looked amazing. The ambiance was very upscale & cozy. I can't wait to go back and try more! They also had some free baked goods as well.
