    The Porch has become one of our go-to spots to celebrate finishing a book, and it never disappoints. A few of my book club friends and I love treating ourselves here, and it's kind of turned into our little tradition. The atmosphere is super cute, cozy, and perfect for catching up or diving into a new read. The drinks are always a hit. The carrot cake latte is a standout and absolutely worth trying, but their matcha is just as good if that's more your thing. And the pastries do not miss. The cinnamon bun has been my personal favorite so far. If you're looking for a spot to grab a great coffee, treat yourself, and spend time with friends, The Porch is definitely one I'd recommend.

    This one pains me to write ... but not impressed. The coffee presents nicely for a photo... and that's it. I stopped in today to get the Jersey Diner Coffee. Online it states it can be regular or oak milk (image attached of the online menu stating oat milk is an option). When I ordered it with oat milk the barista was confused and said it's not an option. Strange. So I proceeded to order an iced latte with oat milk and the toasted marshmallow cold foam - basically the exact item. The cold foam was great. The coffee had no flavor to it what so ever. Such a disappointment. Hoping this was a bad day and it doesn't taste this way normally. I grabbed over night oats and it was decent. Packaged nicely. Big fan of the bamboo straws and utensils! Interior is lovely and great work from home space. Inside of the place is adorable and has potential if the coffees didn't taste watered down. Plan to return back to try other options, and hope that the experience with the coffee is better.

    After seeing The Porch all over my Instagram feed, I finally made the time to go and try them out! When you're heading there, definitely keep your eyes peeled for their black sign. The homey aesthetic blends in perfectly with the surrounding houses, so it can be easy to miss, but once you find it, there is plenty of parking in the back. It was cold when we visited, so we stayed inside, but the porch itself has such cute couches for hanging out while you enjoy your drink, it's probably so nice for warmer days. The indoor atmosphere is bright, clean, and filled with charming seating areas. It is a bit on the smaller side, though, so you might have a hard time finding a spot on a busy day. They have a huge selection of pastries, overnight oats, and chia puddings, along with a variety of ready to go cold drinks. Their signature menu features year-round favorites, as well as winter specials. We tried the Banana Bread Matcha Latte, and it truly tasted like a slice of banana bread in a cup! It was creamy, perfectly balanced, and they really nailed the banana and cinnamon flavors. If you're in the area, you must stop in to try this before it's gone! Next, we tried the Coco Noir, a latte with coconut and black sesame syrup. This was incredibly refreshing, I can definitely see myself reaching for this on warmer days. I especially loved the coconut flakes on top. Finally, we tried their classic Purple Porch, which is a powerhouse drink: matcha with protein, collagen peptides, probiotics, taro, ube, hyaluronic acid, and butterfly pea protein. While there is a lot going on in this one, the taro was the star flavor that really came through. The lovely baristas let us know that all of these drinks can be made with either matcha or espresso. They also have a great selection of teas, so there is truly something for everyone!

    Whether you're looking for a coffee or a creative latte, The Porch has all the options! I've gone here a couple times now for coffee dates with friends, and my most recent favorite drink I tried was the carrot cake latte. You can sip on coffee, snack on a sweet treat, and enjoy the beautiful space.

    I've been meaning to go to the Porch after seeing it on social media so I went early on a Friday morning! I absolutely loved the interior and could definitely see myself getting some work done at one of the tables. I got the Be Mine latte and i loved the pink foam and heart sprinkles on top. I also got a chili cheese palmier and I do wish it was warmed up but to be fair I didn't ask. The latte was a little sweet for my taste but to be expected. I would definitely come back and would recommend it to others!

    I stopped in today for an iced coffee for the first time today. There is plenty of parking in the back. The vibe is so cute and cosy. It's a perfect place to come on a spring day or a catch up date or maybe even catching up on work or studying. If you like matcha this is the place to try. There is a number of selections. I got the banana bread latte, it's a little small but perfect for me. Expect to pay Starbucks prices. Overall it's super cute, staff is friendly and big smiles.

    The Porch, Coffee Tea and Bakery is a newly opened bakery in Basking Ridge which offers variety of lattes, matcha drinks, teas and specialty specialty, small-batch baked goods. There is ample seating inside as well as well outside on the porch. We went on Saturday Morning and it was pretty busy, took us 30 mins to order our drinks. We had a latte, cold brew, almond croissant and banana cake. Coffee was well-balanced and strong, and baked goods were fresh and tasty. Overall, a nice experience - will definitely go again to try other offerings.

    I am not sure if I am going to blow the cover on this place as a well-hidden local gem, but it was…read morean unexpected find for me, and I felt a need to let others know. I was looking for a good baguette in my neighborhood for a while. But as simple as a baguette may seem, making a tasty one is an art. I was running some errands when I suddenly felt pekish. I saw on Yelp that there was an "authentic French bakery" nearby and decided, "Why not?" Originally, I was thinking of getting a quiche, but as I got into the store, I decided to switch to an avocado egg sandwich. I am sure quiche is good, but I was impressed by the sandwich. It came on the plate with very fresh salad greens. Greens there fresh and sauce tangy, just what one needs to cut through the richness of avocado and egg. I think I had an entire Avacado cut on it. The avocado itself was just right. But the star of the show, for me, was a baguette! I inhaled the entire dish and asked if they sell baguettes on their own, which they do. The bakery associate told me they just ran out, but they are baking new ones now. If I wait 10-15 minutes, I will get a freshly baked one. I could not believe my lack. They came as promises and they were great, just smell alone was to die for There are so many other things I want to try, so I'll definitely be back. Thank you guys, you all made my day!

The decor is warm and welcoming, and the atmosphere feels cozy. You order at the counter, and the staff member who helped us was kind and very helpful. We ordered quite a few things; the avocado toast with eggs was fresh and satisfying, the raspberry tea was lovely, and the L'Exotique mango mousse was absolutely delicious. Overall, a really nice spot for a casual brunch or sweet treat. I'd definitely come back!

I brought the decorations and even met with Joe Murphy himself. Joe took down my order, sketched the design of the cake, reviewed the colors, and theme personally. The theme of the party was born 2 ball and I asked for a basketball themed sheet cake with orange and green frosting. First the frosting was pastel pink/orange (see photos) and sea foam green. Clearly nothing like the colors discussed - then the drawing he created was supposed to have the ball decorations cascading down the side. As you can see in the photo it looks like my 2 year old son haphazardly placed them with absolutely no care of design whatsoever. On top of the above disgraceful items when I called I was assured I would be contacted to rectify and discuss that they gave my husband at pick up a cake with THE WRONG COLORS, NO DESIGN, AND DOUBLE THE SIZE ORDERED. I was never called back, there was zero respect or apologies. When I called the girl even said "oh the basketball theme cake" - please take a look and let me know, do you see a basketball theme cake or any care taken at all? Disgracefully disrespectfulI

I knew I would be there at a certain time so I placed an online order for three sea salt coffees. I made sure they would be ready at a certain time that the app let me set. Also to note I've been here a few times and it's a very typical 85° which has a few tables to sit at and definitely keeps it very basic and bakery feeling. I get there about a half hour later and my coffee is not ready yet even though it was supposed to be ready 2 minutes before. I stood there for a while and finally someone came up to the coffee counter and asked if I needed anything. I said I was simply just waiting for my online order that I placed over a half hour ago. He went over to his computer and printed it out and got started on it but doesn't really give me a lot of confidence in placing online orders in the future. The worker did apologize and I appreciate that so four stars for now. As I was leaving, a lady who was also waiting for her coffee noted that she did the same thing and apparently they don't have all of their ducks in a row yet.
