    Latte

    Quiet, nice, and cozy place to get your morning going! They've got a lot breakfast options

    Americano and oat milk latte
    Roxanne O.

    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.

    Barista counter and small tables along the entrance. There are more seats on the opposite side as well.

    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.

    Iced matcha latte
    Keita N.

    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.

    Cold brew

    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!

    Peppermint hot chocolate
    Jimaye F.

    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!

    Egg and cheese and cappucinos
    Brianna M.

    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.

    Iced tea
    Jill C.

    Was a loyal Plainfield patron. Stopped in @rahway location for a fabulous ice tea. Tasted fresh, smooth and didn't need sweetener. I'll be back for more of these. Lovely interior! Park for free several blocks up.

    Coffee box is one of those neighborhood coffee shops that you are glad is there. There is a level of comfort knowing you have good coffee and treats only a few blocks away. The people were really nice in there as well. The cookies are underrated. Try them!

The staff was friendly and offered great suggestions. Although it was very busy on Saturday afternoon, I was happy to find a few seats available with the background music at the perfect, conversational volume. I only came in to order coffee, but seeing all those delicious pastries and baked goods made me almost change my mind. There were several winter specials available, so I decided to try the dulce de leche latte. I really enjoyed it since it was bold and strong, but had a smooth, sweet finish. There were many tasty-sounding latte choices such as horchata, tiramisu, and the golden palms latte, which is made of turmeric. I look forward to trying one of those the next time that I return.

I ordered three fried empanadas (two chicken and one beef). they were okay - the crust is a bit different than I'm used to, but maybe the empanadas I typically have are baked. Also seemed to be more potato than meat in the beef one. The Americano coffee is awful. It gives mostly hot water with a hint of coffee flavor. I tossed it and didn't complain. Granted it's a cafe and not a coffee shop, but it's coffee! They have a plethora of other drinks that may be worth trying, but i will never order coffee here again. The decor inside is nice Also note, this is mostly a beverage and snack place. Very little food on the menu.

But every door that closes gives us an opportunity to go somewhere else. Cafe Teasia this arctic Sunday night during the fallow holiday period was surely spartan ,modest in size and devote. There was a fellow with a backwards baseball cap on speaking with another someone far away on a laptop, mimicking the illusion of companionship. Another pair playing at the same human game we all play at was doing it in person as a couple or couple to be or two who were to have but these evening. The beau or fella was brashly loud which soon grew charming as I recalled when I used to try to wow girls with tales of meditation tricks and bragging I'd be dead in 2031 when the next Avatar comes out (or the equivalent in my time). So here I was coming in out of the cold playing the same innocent game for human connection. I wish I could warn him that her politely laughing may not be a good sign! Or maybe assure him it is - ah, but who knows what love is or indeed even what fun is. All i know was the last joint wasn't putting out any such vibe. Ah the severance. So I got two coffees to go because that's what coffees are for. But I also got my first ever "bubblentea". The mango bubble tea had these little pearl-like bubble balls that mash like tiny grapes in your mouth. Delightful candified moment. But here's what I'll always remember. The second i walked in, the cashier warmly greeted me and welcomed me with but three patrons here on a Sunday night - and the heat was out. She wore a coat. I didn't remove mine. Our breathe was nearly white but you know what? Not nearly so cold an experience as the last joint.

I come here only on Sunday mornings and often, when there is usually no line. For two years I have been doing this , I have received ZERO eye contact, no warmth, no engagement from this shift's crew--until today. That's why it mattered when one Asian barista this morning (who wasn't the one to take my order) warmly looked at me, smiled, and said something kind. It came right after her coworker placed my drink down, mumbled my name, and they turned their back on me when I thanked them -- but weren't doing anything else! Same energy when they took my order minutes earlier even when I was the only person in line. Like I owe them a favor for being at their counter! I've watched them and their colleagues treat me this way consistently. Mind you, I either only order a latte, a matcha, or a pastry. The worst part is that this treatment feels selective. I''ve seen this same crew be friendly, laugh, and engage with other customers--but from what I've seen for 2 years is that it seems only a certain type of walk-in gets this reception. It suck's to be flatly received and then notice the person behind me get a smile and a conversation, even if it's obvious that they're not a regular here ... at least not on Sundays. :) Again, thank you to that barista who broke the pattern for me today because I finally felt seen. I added a 3rd star out of gratitude. :) If you've found this crew non-selectively friendly, I'd genuinely like to know what day you come--because my Sunday morning experience has been consistently selective. I choose to be optimistic. And to management, let's talk about this.
