I really love how they have so many fun drinks! I got their creme brulee latte and it was sooo good the crunchy creme brulee bits really peaked through the coffee and the milk to coffee ratio was so good! It was a bit on the pricier side but I don't mind that!

However, when work brought me in their direction recently, I had to pay a visit to get one of my favorite drinks: their signature Ube Coconut Matcha. Chapter 2 Coffee Roasters isn't very far from the Rutgers campus, so don't be surprised if the place is packed with college kids if you visit on a weekday. Nevertheless, Chapter 2 Coffee Roasters will keep you coming back with their delicious drinks, friendly service, and welcoming environment. During my most recent visit, I've experienced all of the above. I like how the staff will actually strike up a conversation with you sometimes. If you're in the area, go check them out!

The cookie I got was super yummy with the inside being gooey and rich with chocolate. They have a wide variety of lattes and coffees here. I feel like there is something for everyone here. I heard also they have ceremonial grade matcha so if you're a matcha fan you might like it here too. Overall, big props to the employees here, the one person I talked to with the beard was knowledgeable and super helpful. Ps. They also have a place were they hang art as well. That's pretty cool and looks like they are growing a little library on the side for people to pick up a book to read.

We have the iced pumpkin matcha and iced teddy graham latte a shot today and both were fantastic! Staff was friendly and efficient at keeping this moving as people were filing in and out the whole time we were there.

I didn't even notice until I was sitting down, but they also have window side service available from the sidewalk, which is cool. We will definitely come back to try some more!

It says it's small inside on here, but it was bigger than I expected. With 3 small 2 person tables, a futon-sized couch and a 4 stool bar, it's small but not impossibly so. I visited on a Monday just before noon, and it had a steady flow of people coming and going but very few people staying to hang out. Outside, they have a handful of small tables and a walk up window. The ambiance is very college focused. They played a mix of classic rock and pop music, I think I heard a Shakira song? lol they have a cute "no touch" display of jellycats, and a small bookshelf next to the futon. It also has glasses on it so if you're willing to take a book, you're braver than me. Cell service sucks here, but their WiFi password is clearly posted near the door. As for the drinks, I ordered an Earl Grey latte a with oatmilk and vanilla cold foam (the cold foam was recommended by the barista so I have it a shot). They didn't give me the option of hot or iced and I have only seen people get iced drinks so I'm not sure if there is an option. I expected it to be a tea latte due to it being Earl grey but I was incorrect. It's an espresso latte with house made Earl grey syrup. The espresso was fine, but I couldn't really taste the Earl grey syrup at all. I think I will definitely try something else next time. I ordered a pastel de nata. This is an area where basically everyone is Portuguese and it's clear that this cafe is Portuguese owned as well. I love pastel de nata so I was excited to see them. They offered to warm it for me and it was good! Kinda hard to mess up tbh lol. They don't seem to offer actual food, just baked goods. It's a small selection, I assume freshly baked daily. It's Halloween season and I noticed they have a Harry Potter menu I would be interested in trying. The barista was telling the girl ahead of me in line that the Butterbeer latte is the sweetest item on the menu. They have all of the normal milk options: whole, 2%, skim, oatmilk, almond milk, coconut milk, soy milk. They seem to be pet friendly - some came in with their Frenchie and was welcomed by the business. I definitely will be back to try different things!

Location: Wicks Shopping Plaza next to Le Peep off of Rt. 1 in Edison Parking: Parking lot can get busy throughout the day, but people come and go so it's not too bad. They're open every day from 10AM to 9 PM. The café has a good amount of seating and tables. The decor is modern, open, airy, and zen. They have two kiosks where you can self order to save time, especially if it's busy. They serve different levels of matcha gelato, matcha affogato, tarts, and Basque cheesecakes. Their black sesame basque cheesecake is my favorite! I have to try their gelato for my next visit. They have various Matcha drinks on the menu, espresso, and Hojicha which has less caffeine than matcha and coffee. I've been here twice and the first time I had their Biscoff cookie Hojicha latte with pistachio milk. It was so delicious! Definitely sweet, but I so I will ask for just one pump of the syrup next time. I think Hojicha pairs better with the Biscoff cookie instead of Matcha. I ordered my husband, an espresso, Matcha latte, but it was definitely way too much caffeine for him. On my most recent visit, I ordered the banana pudding Matcha latte with oat milk. I also upgraded to a premium Matcha, but sadly, I can't remember the name of it! It was really delicious, but a bit too sweet for me. It can be tricky to find the perfect balance of sweetness and umami, but as long as I can taste the Matcha, and the drink is good, I'm happy. The cheesecake is a lovely treat. Thick, but soft, not too sweet. Yum! Unfortunately, they no longer allow reusable cups. Even Starbucks and Dunkin offer a discount and allow personal cups. There's too much waste created by plastic that could easily be avoided. But I digress. I will happily return as this location is close to me and I'm looking forward to trying some of their other seasonal drink drinks. If you're new to Matcha, you should definitely try one of their syrup drinks, or a classic matcha latte.

Inside is very clean with a gender neutral bathroom and some cute decor. The prices are decent. Dessert pieces are a little pricey, but very big. They do have soo many sweet treats. They also have specialty turkish sweets and others such as cheesecake, dubai chocolate, parfaits & other things that I do not even know the name of. I wish i could try them all without getting cavities haha. When I come back to Jersey I will definitely be coming back to this cafe as it is a hot commodity to me!

I wish I had tried this muchhhh sooner-- 1st time; Tried the Iced Caramel Voltage. It was sooo good, perfectly sweet and the quality of the coffee was well roasted. 2nd time; Tried the Iced Crème Brûlée Latte. Also very delicious, they mix vanilla powder into the milk and it's so flavorful! My friend tried the hot Biscoff Latte and also absolutely loved it-- Sooo many options on the menu and sweet treats to choose from (it can get overwhelming!) My only note is that they only had one person running the shop both times I visited and there was quite some traffic for one person to handle. The other time visiting, they were mostly out of select coffees, decaf, etc by Noon and limited w milk stock.
