The drip coffee here is surprisingly AMAZING!!!!! I had the salmon avocado toast with a poached egg on top TWICE in one week bc it was soo delicious. It also comes with a fresh salad with balsamic glaze. Their cookies are also enormous, soft, and delicious. I also ordered a chai latte and a matcha latte which were very good but really pricey, basically a dollar per ounce. The café itself is cozy, modern, and lively without being boisterous. It's a great vibe for working or relaxing and there's a pile of games patrons can play during their visit. Service here is also great! I had noticed my salmon toast was missing the avocado I ordered and that was very quickly corrected. The baristas are very friendly and it helps add to the comfort of this place. I already can't wait to go back read more

Great spot with fantastic vibes. The space is beautiful, the staff is friendly, and the drinks are delicious. My favorite has quickly become their iced chai latte. They really foster a sense of community, too, hosting a lot of local events, which I appreciate. Definitely the type of space where you feel like you can walk in, enjoy a drink, and strike up a conversation with a friendly stranger. read more

Very cute and trendy! A local neighborhood vibe. Food was typical; good but nothing to write home about. Their drinks are their specialty as they offer a unique twist on some classics. read more

Absolutely gorgeous inside with huge windows for sunlight and people watching. They did an exceptional pour over. A variety of seating options inside and out. Did not try any food, but you could see the staff hustling to keep up with orders and deliver excellent. There's something for the coffee connoisseur and for the casual drinker. read more

We ordered at the counter and they have both indoor and outdoor seating so we opted for outdoor. Too cold so we went indoors. When the man who took our order brought out our food, he stated, "you were supposed to be outside," in a somewhat unfriendly manner. It took me off guard. The panini was good--messy though because the cream cheese just squished out, and the smoked salmon was a little cooked from the heat. But it was okay. Not really worth the $14, though. The coffees were good, no acidity and very smooth. read more

The Coffee Box is a cute coffee shop in downtown Rahway. The friendly staff and the bright, open interior with large windows create a welcoming atmosphere. While the iced coffee I ordered was average--it seemed like I arrived early in the morning before the brewed coffee had cooled, so it was warm before ice was added in--the iced latte was a great. It had a strong flavor and sharp taste, hitting the right notes. Overall, I was happy with the coffee and charming ambiance. read more

A nice coffee shop worth visiting. I came by on a Saturday morning and it was relatively busy. The majority of the seats were occupied and there were a frequent influx of customers coming in and out. The service was great. The barista was super friendly, and when I asked for the Wi-Fi password one of the workers brought the QR code right to my table which was very kind. I ordered the chai latte which was pretty good. My only complaint was that the music was pretty loud so if you are coming here to do work or take some calls, you might want to bring a pair of headphones. Metered street parking although I noticed a sign on the way out that there is a free lot a few blocks down on the weekend. read more

This is my first time coming here early in the morning and I had a GREAT experience!! The ambiance is so cute from the decor to the music. I ordered the matcha ice late (whole milk) with a Black Ham Swiss panini and a cream fruit waffle. It was all so so good! The service was so kind and I'm glad I chose to go here for an early breakfast trip. I would 100% go back for more and I definitely recommend for a quick but yummy breakfast or even for a quick study session. read more

Great coffee shop. The staff is really friendly and the shop is very clean. I love the coffee here & it is in a very cute little downtown area. They had nice decorations(including fresh flowers on communal tables) and live music in the afternoon. They offer a large number of gluten free options which is great. I really appreciated how they brought out a chilled mug of water when I asked for one instead of just having a self-service option -- appreciate it's a small thing but it really shows that they go above and beyond. Great first visit, highly recommended! read more

Such a cute place to go. The service was very helpful and friendly. We got a latte, peppermint hot chocolate, chocolate croissant, and ham Swiss and baked egg croissant. The croissant melted in your mouth and honestly I wanted more after I was done but after the delicious drinks you'll be full off of one. All of which was absolutely delicious. I would definitely recommend coming here for both a quick bite to eat or to get a coffee or food to go. Only thing is I wish the fans werent on and on high because my drink got cold really fast and it's cold outside. But I will be back! read more

Coffee was good, service was great but didn't enjoy the grilled cheese too much. The cookie I got for my kids was good.

The service is always patient and on point. The ambiance seems like you can work from there, good for business meetings, or stop in with friends. I love that they hang local art. It's right by the train station so it's great to grab and go. I also love that they serve 8oz cappuccinos as no where in the area truly does. I prefer my cappuccinos less milky. read more

This is such a cute coffee shop in downtown Rahway. I highly recommend it! I got a Chai latte and it was well made. I came on a Saturday morning and it was pretty busy. They also have board games you can play there. There was a live band, which was nice but distracting if you are trying to work. But 10/10 for vibes! read more

Salmon toast had a healthy serving of salmon, perfectly balanced with the cream cheese, capers and onions, well done! Personally not a fan of the salad dressing served with the greens Coffee is good! Sea salt chocolate chip cookie was ok but nothing special. A nice display of support of BLM&Pride in an inviting environment Only wish they had more eco friendly take away containers. read more

Masala chai tea wasn't good , no milk . tuermic cold drink lacked the taste of tuermic plus no seasoning and very watery . What was good was the salty chocolate chip cookie Service was blah, they were meager, and looked at us like we were annoying when asking were to leave the plates and timer, maybe bad day ? Pricy with lack of interest in preparing drinks . If you do like that ambience of being in college with a MacBook and maybe bumping into a person who you'll fall in love after picking up their book , this is the place for that. read more

Get: Homemade roasted pumpkin spice latte and croissant breakfast sandwich This cafe was bumpin' on the Saturday morning I decided to visit. I got there early and scored a corner seat and got to work. I love the service here! I believe the manager/owner was walking the floor and chatting with people. It seemed like he knew the regulars and even asked me if I was getting a lot of work done. I liked that. The ambiance is great, Wooden tables - check! Exposed brick - check! Interesting light fixture - check! I got the homemade roasted pumpkin spice latte. It's made with roasted pumpkins, espresso, maple syrup, cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, allspice vanilla and oatmilk. It was probably the best pumpkin latte I've had in a loooong time. You could taste the richness of the pumpkin, the variety of the spices, and the strength of the espresso was well balanced and not burnt. I also got a delicious croissant breakfast sandwich that I would get again. Later I got a matcha latte and a salad...and they were okay. The salad was supposed to come with arugula but came with a spring mix. I love arugula so that was slightly disappointing. All in all, I would definitely come back! Great coffee, great ambiance and great service. read more

I grabbed an iced matcha tea and slice of vegan banana bread from The Coffee Box. Very good! Will most likely be back again and would recommend! I'm not in Rahway often and was visiting friends who live in town. The coffee shop is close to the train station, and we found out has been open for 6 months. The corner shop space feels very open inside with high ceilings and huge windows letting in natural light. For a Sunday afternoon, there was a good number of customers inside, both sitting inside and ordering to-go. However, while busy/bustling, it wasn't terribly loud and still felt calm and chill. You could definitely come here with a laptop (or whatever device) to work; btw, you'll find the WiFi connect info on the menu board. Higher price points in here, but the quality given justifies it. I paid near $6 for that iced matcha. If you are cool with paying that everyday, cool, but that's not me (I drink too much coffee and tea). The Coffee Box for me is/would be more of a treat thing, where one-in-a-while I'd go to enjoy really good, quality barista made drinks and pastries. Aside from coffees, teas, pastries, there's also a short food menu. I didn't try anything on the menu, but thought the items looked good (I would like to try their panini). For sale, there's also coffee bags, teas, and other packaged sweet treat things (like chocolates). Overall, I can say that I recommend stopping by The Coffee Box if you are in the area on the weekend. Good coffee, the people are nice, and the place has a cool, chill vibe. 5 stars. read more

Loved this lil spot near the train station. I've been to the Plainfield locations so that is why I was familiar with the name Parking is street which can be tough but there is a parking deck one block away on Lewis street for 1.25 for 2 hrs I believe. I love the inside of this location . The sunflower arrangement is lovely . It was very calm when I was there . Could see myself doing work and having a drink and meal. I've had the avocado toast at the other location and this location I tried the salmon toast and I loved it. Besides being healthy - Salmon was tasty on choice of bread ( sourdough, multigrain or gluten free) and tasty cream cheese. Comes with a side salad. I also had the iced chai with almond milk. Came in a glass mason cup jar . Great for the warm summer day Condiments on the side table as well as free cucumber infused water . Staff was friendly and quick with service . I definitely see myself coming back read more

Stopped here while on business for work in NYC. Nice little coffee shop nestled in the downtown area of Rahway. Nice little exterior seating area and a very chic interior. Simple but classy aesthetic. Ordered the Crimson Red (super light and fresh) and the Turkey panini was tasty with nice pieces of avo, Turkey and bread. Really was a great little spot to get a quick bite. The owner (I think) was super friendly and got me a refill which was very much appreciated. If you are nearby, give this place a try. Friendly, clean and laidback read more

What the people of Rahway have been waiting for... a solid coffee shop. A coffee shop that's not a chain! Open-space concept, cute, stylish space with a knowledgeable staff & delicious coffee. And, they have about 10 small, 2-seater tables outside that sit under a couple of overhanging trees, giving you a bit of shade while you're sipping on your drink. Yes to outdoor seating! Coffee Box offers Fair Trade coffee along with a nice selection of bites to eat. Although my one slight gripe, (which really isn't a gripe but more of a preference), is to add an egg sandwich to the menu. The place smelled delicious when we walked in but man, sometimes I'm just craving that egg sandwich! What can I say, I'm a New Yorker. If all remains the next time I'm in Rahway and stop by the Coffee Box, I'll definitely up this rating to 5 stars. read more

First, let me say this place is a very cute location & likeable environment, however; due to the live band and small space, the music was too loud when attempting to place my order & seats were limited. For drinks, I ordered a Caramel Macchiato & Chai Latte. The drinks were pretty good but I wasn't able to have the full experience (latte art while eating in) due to the limited seating...The food we ordered were The Bacon Egg and cheddar croissant & the Salmon sandwich with a poached egg. The bacon wasn't crispy, it had a limp & moist consistency as if it were boiled which wasn't a pleasant experience. The Salmon sandwich wasn't very pleasant for my husband as his expectations were set a bit different. He expected a raw consistency; similar to what you'd get in a traditional smoked (lox) salmon, not a cooked texture which threw off the flavor of the sandwich for him. The poached egg was overcooked which is a disappointment because as we were placing the order, the cashier worded "poached means runny" & he unfortunately got a hard-boiled egg. Aside from the idiosyncrasies, the salted chocolate chip cookie was an amazing feat. We may try out this location again in the future, hopefully with a less convoluted experience. read more

Had some time before business meeting so I popped into this adorable little café for a quick bite and a coffee. Had the avocado toast. Delicious! Coffee was fresh and service was excellent. The man and woman behind the counter were kind and very personable. The music today was Michael Jackson/Jackson 5 greatest hits. Perfect choice! I even got to see an adorable little puppy before leaving. Will definitely be back the next time I'm in town! read more

I honestly can't say enough good things about this place, and I work in a coffee house! First, being a vegan sometimes it's hard to find things to munch on; the coffee house offers zucchini bread, banana bread, and avocado toast ALL VEGAN. They also have a vegan mousse if you are in the mood for a sweet treat. The owner is so nice and knowledgeable. The environment is warm and welcoming. I am so happy they opened up down the street from my apartment. I will for sure being doing my homework and writing my papers here! Another note: They carry oat milk! read more

Super cute coffee shop before I left to fly back home. Conveniently located just near the train station. The shop has a nice, open concept with a nice, large community table, as well as bar seating and small tables. I love that they have an "early bird special". I haven't ever seen that before, but that's such a great idea for early birds such as myself! I did not make it in time for that, but I did order an iced latte and breakfast sandwich anyways. I ordered the egg, spinach & cheddar breakfast sandwich and a caramel iced latte. Did not disappoint! I would definitely come back here, whether it's to catch up with an old friend or get on my laptop. read more

Updating my review. The Coffee Box has great coffee. The owner, Jeff, takes great care not only in sourcing the best type of coffee beans, but even infusing the coffee of those different beans together to make a refreshing flavor that I missed my first time. Next time I'm back, I will be ordering my coffee black to appreciate those flavors more. read more
