This place is a true hidden gem. It's tucked behind a tiny plaza, and if you didn't know it was there, you'd drive right past it, which would be a personal loss, honestly. From the moment you step into the enclosed entrance, the vibe is calm, cozy, and immediately promising. You can tell it's designed for outdoor seating when the weather's nice, but even during the colder months, it holds up. The menu has a solid selection with seasonal drinks mixed in, so there's always something new to try instead of defaulting to the same order every time. Shoutout to the merch by the register because it's genuinely funny and dangerously tempting. I showed restraint. Barely. The seating area is where this place really shines. There are plenty of options, great natural light streaming in through the windows, and just the right amount of quiet. It's perfect for getting work done, catching up with a friend, or simply sitting there enjoying the peace like the responsible adult you pretend to be. All around, a great spot with an easy, welcoming vibe. Already looking forward to coming back, especially when it's warm enough to see what the outdoor seating is all about. read more

This place is an absolute gem, what a find! Located in a parking lot, it is a bit hard to find the entrance. There's indoor and outdoor seating, and the service is impeccable. I came here on a Wednesday afternoon and ordered the Sandy - chai with maple spice foam and I got it hot. Boy, did this hit the spot! I also got a chickpea blonde which was sensational. I was so pleased with both that I plan on becoming a regular. The price was $15 with tip for both which seems to be the standard rate for things nowadays. They have a nice drink menu with a decent selection. The store has a nice selection of stickers, cards, and other adorable take homes. I will be back here and highly recommend! read more

In a complex with lots of parking! Silly I saw the window and ordered there... after ordering I saw it was a preorder window and if I just walked around the corner -- the entrance is right there. Lack of sleep and not thinking on my part! Getting back on track: the staff were super friendly! I loved to cococoquito-- I ordered it hot and an iced hall and oat- I did love the spice with the espresso and milk Will definitely be back and will go inside I did love the window concept -- super cute! read more

Super cute hidden coffee spot near a medical complex with lots of parking in the front and back. Shared a coffee flight with a friend--the Salted Honey was my favorite! Definitely coming back just for that. Not much seating (a small room inside and some outdoor tables), and the space is so cozy it feels like a living room--so conversations can carry...I believe the people who went to "study" at the time were bothered by the noise. But this is a cafe, not a library and overall, I would be down to come again! read more

This coffee shop is consistently rated one of the best and rightfully so. I love the kind and friendly baristas, inventive menu and there is even a walk up order window for those on the go. On a nice day, its really pleasant to sit in their ample outdoor seating. I have been there twice in one week and tried one of their seasonal items, as well as one the barista favorites. The hot honey shaken espresso was sweet from the peach puree, strong and had a hint of spice. It was a very tasty drink for the summer! I also really enjoyed The AJ which was an iced latte with white chocolate, vanilla extract, brown sugar and pistachio cold foam. Also, I love how plentiful the parking was. I will absolutely be back to try more of their seasonal and inventive items! read more

We stopped by on a early afternoon and were so glad with what we tried! Iced Chai latte and iced strawberry matcha - so good! The inside is small, and there's cute seating outside but mostly a grab and go spot. It's in the back of a business park - worth the trip! Don't be in a rush.. it did take several minutes to prepare. Cheers! read more

Wow, wow, wow! This coffee shop has so much character. As soon as I stepped in, I didn't want to leave. The atmosphere is calming and peaceful which makes it the perfect place to work or study in. There are both indoor and outdoor seating areas with steady wifi and outlets. Both areas are decorated beautifully and aesthetically pleasing with vibrant decor, natural lighting, cozy furniture, and greenery. It's like a mix of Bohemian, tropical, and zen vibes. Spend some time in their Library Lounge - you will feel right at home in your living room! Now onto the coffee... They have an extensive menu with espresso drinks, smoothies, teas, refreshers, and small bites. They even offer coffee flights! The barista was very patient and helpful. I ordered one of their most popular drinks, the Salted Honey Latte (~$5). It was smooth and slightly sweet. I like being able to taste the espresso in my drinks, so they nailed this. I recommend to those who don't want a latte that's too sweet. They also sell a ton of merchandise like snacks, jewelry, apparel, stationary, body care, and candles. Shop and sip! I really wish there was a coffee shop like this closer to me. I will be returning to try more drinks. read more

The Compound has to be one of the vibiest cafes I've ever been to. With all the colorful decor, fun little goodies they sell such as jewelry & skincare - this place has a lot of character to it. The menu has a wide range of options from more bitter coffee choices to sweet ones. The barista was so sweet and was guiding me through which coffee she think I'd like based on my preferences. I went with the Rainbow Cookie Latte because I'm a sucker for a rainbow cookie lol. The latte itself was honestly just okay. I would probably go back to try something new and see if there is a coffee flavor I'd prefer more. I do think it is really cool that they offer coffee flights as well! read more

The Compound Coffee - Rainbow Cookie Latte - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Verona, New Jersey

Off the beaten track coffee house in Verona. Loved the iced coffee I got. It was smooth but still tasted like coffee. Adorable place with lots of seating areas, kid-friendly, great for adults catching up too, terrific WiFi with the password visible all over the place, outdoor seating with fan running to keep you cool, shaded areas available. Plenty of free parking. All around great place and I'll definitely return. The baristas were attentive and happy to review the menu. They have sugar free syrups and even a coffee flight if you want to sample their offerings. Seasonal coffee drinks available too. The place looks like it's in an industrial park. GPS gets you to the right place. Turn when it tells you to. read more

Cute little shop in an off the beaten path location. I got the seasonal Italian Rainbow Cookie iced latte and it wasn't great but not bad, but that's where the positives end unfortunately. Waiting close to a half hour for 2 drinks after ordering when we're the only ones there was a bit much. My mom was with me and got a coconut milk based coffee (I forget the name) which she said was bitter and did not have good flavor. The drinks were ready about 15 minutes apart which was very awkward and didn't make any sense- I kept hearing the 2 workers talk about if they should make our second drink but for some reason they kept putting it off and making mobile orders. We're thinking the bad service was because we didn't tip since they were whispering after we paid while pointing to our order info, but that would just be speculation. Very uncomfortable experience. Can't recommend unfortunately due to poor service and expensive/not good drinks read more

A hidden gem of a coffee shop! Such a cute spot with delicious drinks. I go out of my way for their cold brew and love their pb / coconut & chia energy bars. Definitely a great spot to meet a friend, work from home, or have a book club meeting. read more

Love this little neighborhood spot along Pompton Ave in Verona. It's actually spacious inside with a bright, open and warm vibe, matching the staff! Step inside and fell all the tension and busyness of your life fall away! Supporting local artists and community they also offer a great variety of gift items like cozy candles and cards. Sit along a counter or find a table to enjoy your coffee drinks and delicious baked treats in a boho inspired space. There's also a pickup (actually a "PickMeUp") window area and a gym! read more

This place is soooooo freaking cute. I walked in and felt like I was transported to California. The vibes are immaculate. They have a lot of little knick knacks you can buy. They have an area called the library that you can sit and do work in. My coffee was delicious. They also have flights for $15 which I'll probably try next time come. Such a cute spot just hidden in a complex so it'll feel like your GPS fooled you! read more

Came here as it was the closest place to my pedicurist. The service was fine. The shop itself is cute w/ the little trinkets and cups for sale. I ordered an iced chai w/ a shot of espresso and oatmilk (my go to). Very, Very subtle chai taste. Like, it could've just been an iced latte. The drink itself wasn't bad. I'm still indifferent about this place. read more

Absolutely adorable! Love the library sitting area in the back. Happened to use the bathroom and it was clean and comfortable. Got a decaf mocha and it was delicious. Location is a bit hidden but worth venturing to. The employees were super sweet and helpful. Love the selection of gifts sprinkled around to look at and potentially purchase while waiting. Look forward to returning to chill out. Oh and I didn't take any pics bc I didn't want to seem creepy as it was pretty busy. Next time! read more

I LOVE Compound. If it were even just a little bit closer to me, I would be in trouble. :) They have the best of everything in a coffee shop -- the nicest and most patient staff, a gorgeous interior (and exterior -- they have covered outdoor seating in the winter that's beautifully decorated), and some of the best and most inventive specialty drinks I've ever seen. Their menu is expansive, so there will be something for everyone. The owner sometimes lets her (friendly and calm) dog wander the shop, which always puts a smile on my face. Lastly, they have a parking lot, which is rare for a cafe or restaurant in Verona! Just get here. read more

I stumbled upon this hidden gem through Instagram, and I'm so glad I did! The location has a cute and trendy vibe, with a staff that's friendly. They have delightful seasonal coffee and hot cocoa offerings. My husband and I went for the coffee flights advertised on their Instagram, and although ordering got a bit confusing due to the seasonal options not being listed on the flight menu, we ended up trying three flights and enjoyed them alongside our bakery items. We look forward to catching more flights in the future. ;) read more

I can't say enough good things about Compound Coffee Co. My favorite feature is the ample space and option to sit outside or inside, which is perfect for working remotely, meeting friends, or conducting business meetings. That's always been my one knock on many local coffee shops--the lack of space and inspiration to work for long periods, and the disregard from ownership because there are never any plugs for charging devices. At Compound Coffee, the coffee and staff are consistent and solid every time. The owners are great, and I'm looking forward to trying their gym next door sometime in the future. Highly recommend this spot for anyone in need of a comfortable and productive environment! read more

Cool place. Kind of a hidden location. Staff were super friendly. Chill vibes. Both indoor and outdoor seating. We got one of the iced flights, some baked goods, and then a regular sized iced Zephyr latte for the ride home. All of the drinks were really good, with the Zephyr and Hall and Oats being my favorite. However, the baked goods were decent but not exceptional. All that being said, this place is definitely worth a try! read more

It's a cute shop kind of hidden in Verona. I had a machiatto shot. That was strong and tasty. Then we let the barista choose the drink for me. She chose the tiramisu latte. It was creamy and sweet but not overpowering. My children had hot cocoas and they said it was just the right temperature and taste. So if you're looking for a good coffee spot, here is one to try. read more

I decided to visit after seeing their coffee flight posted on Instagram! I love how the location is in a parking lot with a bunch of parking so no need to stress on that. They have a pickup window if you don't want to go all the way in or you can order inside. This spot is so aesthetically pleasing! There's a neon sign and cute unique gifts such as candles with different sayings, greeting cards, apparel and more. As soon as I walked in, I was greeted with smiles and friendly faces! I did come for the coffee flight, but I got there too late as they were closing in an hour and do not serve the flight an hour before closing which is understandable. At the time of my visit, they had a Valentines Day menu where I ordered a drink called "You Give Me Butterflies" which is butterfly pea flower tea, dash of lavender, elderflower, splash of lemon juice and coconut milk shaken over ice. SOOO good and refreshing! I also ordered the vegan brownie. They have tons of other yummy treats as well. I decided to sit outside and enjoy the patio and catch up with my friend and sister. I can't wait to visit again! read more

There are tons of coffee shops around, but there are only a few really great ones and this place is one! From their super relaxed and vibrant aesthetics with indoor and outdoor seating , to their amazingly delicious coffee specialities, and even more awesome friendly staff, I can't say enough about this place! I overheard a guy in front of me talk about their biscuits so of course I had to try (with their strawberry jam) and it was so yummy! Great parking is a plus! read more

I ordered a flight of their favorites--a coquito, a matcha, an oat, and another I can't remember. The lattes were a bit watered down, I wish there was a bit more espresso taste. Also a tad expensive, $15, which should amount to at least two drinks, but somehow, with all the ice, it went quickly. Fun drink experience, and no doubt takes more preparation than normal, but next time I would stick with just one drink. read more

I stumbled upon this warm and charming space on Yelp and glad I did. It's in a business complex so not visible from Grove Ave. The entrance has inviting chairs, plants and a tropical feel. They offer cute items for sale inside as you order your coffee. I had a pumpkin spice latte. Delicious. I took it into their " library " room. The space is very zen and relaxing. Nice stop for good coffee, treats, and relaxation. read more

Checked all the boxes. Lovely place, bohemian vibes, and the espresso was great. I got "The Zephyr" which was pretty much a dirty chai latte with homemade honey flare & the babes got "Strawberry Milk" which tasted like strawberry milk yahoo, a shot of espresso, and ice....yummy but too sweet for me. Perfect little gem in this town that is definitely worth trying. read more

Stopped by The Compound Coffee for an afternoon pick-me-up and to enjoy the beautiful weather, and it was truly a chill experience. Upon arriving, I immediately fell in love with the outdoor & indoor spaces and the seclusion of the shop. The shop is beautifully decorated and I felt welcomed & comfortable to stick around and enjoy my drink. The staff were also amazing and are extremely talented at making beautiful & delicious drinks! ______ DRINK: -Iced C3- Chocolate Cherry Chai (Masala Chai, mocha, dash of cherry, salted vanilla cold foam + almond milk) -You Give Me Butterflies (Butterfly pea flower tea, dash of lavender, elderflower with a splash of lemon juice, coconut milk shaken over ice) -Brownie (V) ______ For my order, I went with one of the Valentine's Day Special drinks that the shop was offering named the Iced C3- Chocolate Cherry Chai (Masala Chai, mocha, dash of cherry, salted vanilla cold foam + almond milk). Not only was this drink a gorgeous color, it was tasty and unique. I loved the different flavors and how refreshing the drink was. It was the perfect treat whilst sitting in the outdoor seating area during a beautiful and sunny day. I also tried out the Vegan Brownie as a little snack and it was nice healthier option. Next time, I would love to try one of their other delicious looking bakery treats. All in all, I had a great time at The Compound Coffee and will be back again! read more

Okay, I need to come back here a 1,000 more times! First, it's dog friendly which is so exciting because there are few places you can bring your pup to around here so I appreciate it so much. Walking into the establishment, I quickly realized how much of a personality this place has, the owners clearly took their time to make this business personal and it shows. There are so many things to looks at! It's so earthy, and colorful which is my type of look. It has an inside and an outside area. The outside area has games you can play and bunch of lounging areas! It has heaters for the winter so it can be used all year round. The inside has seating called "the library lounge" so adorable! I imagine being able to come here with a group or getting some work done in this area. They also have a small gym called "the pound" ! Not sure if everyone can use it but I thought it was super cool. They also have a gift shop with adorable products to by! Okay now on to the coffee!! They have coffee flights! How creative ! I absolutely love this idea. My favorites were the tiramisu coffee and agave matcha! Next time, I'd like to try one of their pastries! I will definitely be back and introduce this place to all of my friends. High recommend! Actually it's mandatory, go now! read more

I used to come year last year (2021) during the summer and fall. This place was amazing such amazing energy and drinks. This was my favorite hangout spot. There was two barista that knew how to do things right A lady, brown hair used to be from the city, she was there everyday and a gentleman that was in college that was there part time, he knew how to do some of drinks pretty good. But recently I went there twice, the first time I ordered a small Iced latte with and it was awful, the barista with tattoo brownish hair took way too long and must've not known how to dial in. I assumed maybe she wasn't having a good day or something. So, I decided to give it another shot once again and I honestly don't know what happened maybe new management or what. The only thing I have to say is the yoga room became an indoor dining spot and the decoration is beautiful. read more

The compound Fitness Studio is a gem, tucked in a cute compound setting in Verona NJ. This family-owned business is home to women or folks like myself seeking a place to rebuild or restore through very well-designed classes that purposefully align or realign your body and mind.
