The service here was great. I was slightly disappointed with my iced coffee as it seemed like no one emptied out the water in the ice bin so the coffee lost some of its potency. Our breakfast sandwiches were great and the easy parking made this a spot we will continue to visit. read more

I LOVE this place. I used to live around here and their coffee is so good! They even have flavored roasted beans as well. I always get an egg everything bagel toasted with their scallion cream cheese. LET ME TELL YOU there scallion cream cheese is one of the best scallion cream cheese's I've had!! They have a vegan, vegetarian, AND regular food options. The service is always better than average, quick, and informative. They always let you know something before trying/purchasing. They also have protein shakes as well. The ambiance is relaxed, elegant, and beautiful. There is plenty of seating inside, as well as outside. It's right in the downtown area perfect to take your coffee for a walk and explore! read more

I love that the employees wear T-shirts that say, "Friends don't let friends drink [name of coffee chain here]." Their outdoor seating is perfect for people-watching, while their indoor seating is cozy enough for an intimate lunch or coffee date. I'd been getting their coffee for a couple of years before trying them for brunch, and I was pleasantly surprised. Their avocado toast is rich and savory with some crunch and a nice side of greens. The service is quite nice, too! read more

Pretty outstanding coffee shop. Right at the heart of Maplewood, this cozy breakfast coffee shop is a local gem with its dependable, flavorful offerings. Whether you're grabbing a quick bite or settling in for a leisurely meal, I find it charming. The coffee is always fresh and darkly roasted. From scrambled eggs to avocado toast, every dish is crafted with care, but one standout item is their oatmeal. It's rich, creamy, and consistently delicious, grab it with fruit and granola. Even their potatoes (coupled with eggs) are seasoned and cut extremely well. What sets this coffee shop apart is the attention to detail: they seem to focus on using high-quality ingredients. Staff are friendly and it's clear that they take pride in the food they serve, creating a consistent and enjoyable experience for customers. It can be challenging getting a table during peak hours but it's certainly worth the try! read more

Stopped by Friday for a quick lunch break. I ordered La Mexicana and it was amazing for the right price! It was highly recommended to me by a friend and it met the expectations and more! The service was great from the minute we set down to our way out where we were greeted by Patel. Patel was very friendly and hospitable. The ambience was very chill. Going back for seconds! read more

Croissants!! We come here every time we are in Maplewood. Was looking for a croissant egg sandwich and they have it!! Pumpkin chai latte for a fall win! Immediate ordering thanks to Anand. Always busy because it is worth it. Last time we sat outside. Lovely. read more

We went on Saturday and ordered pancakes and a panini. Both were clearly prepared hours before and re-microwaved, so they were kindof mushy and wet. They don't refrigerate or replace the butter packets on the tables so they're 50/50 rotten or partially opened. When you check out they add an extra dollar or two hoping you won't notice (although this seems to be common practice at cafes these days). Finally, I got terrible food poisoning from the panini. I've been here maybe 5 times because I live very close by and the aesthetic is nice but the food poisoning was the last straw. We're never coming back here again for anything. read more

Great owner good coffee!!!! Looking forward to coming back, try the americano and try the breakfast!!!

Such a great, neighborhood family-owned place. Lots of heart and friendliness. For vegans, there's a tofu scramble I love (just say no eggs). They make a great Americano. I really love it here. A great staple of Maplewood. read more

My family and I have been going to Village Coffee for years and have never been disappointed... The atmosphere is that of a cool coffee house but full food service as well. Love all the different omelette options as well as the other traditional breakfast food. different flavored coffees are a plus in the morning, along with the baked goods and smoothies. Everything is very flavorful and has a healthy bent to it! Sitting outside in the nice weather is another bonus... The owner, his son and the waitstaff (who have been there for years as well) are all really wonderful people, all committed to the quality and high standards of a family owned small business! read more

I came in to grab an iced coffee because I prefer to support small businesses over chains ‍ I laughed when I saw a "friends don't let friends buy Starbucks" sign inside and they're absolutely right. They have ample coffee options (thank you) and I was indecisive about which flavor to add to my iced coffee but the man behind the counter recommended the Jamaican blend - y'all it did NOT disappoint! He made it exactly as I asked for (with lots of milk and a little sugar). It cooled me off on this hot and humid day. SHOP LOCAL! I can't wait to go back and try brunch read more

The place was busy when I went in but I decided to get a latte and pick up one of their black and white cookies. The latte was ok but the cookie was great. The place was not bad but the prices were a little steep for the quality of food received. However, I would still go to there over the Starbucks, so in that area, not a bad place to get your espresso drink fixing. read more

come here if you want endless possibilities of breakfast vegan options! their vegan chorizo (chickpea mash) is so flavorful. i ordered vegan chorizo on an everything bagel with lettuce, tomato, and avocado as a sandwich & it was amazing (definitely a plus you can create your own breakfast sandwich). there's also a ton of lunch options and they've incorporated a full page in their menu for vegan options. their coffee always tastes rich & dark roasted, & they always have decaf (even iced) which tastes as good as regular. the staff is friendly & i've only ever had food to go. i'm looking forward to the summer when i can sit outside & enjoy the cafe in the warmer months! read more

I was in just for the day and stopped here for lunch. It was excellent! They had a surprisingly solid lunch menu and the service was great! The grilled tofu and portobello mushroom salad was so good. read more

Came here for brunch with a friend. FOOD: I was very impressed by the side of their menu! I ordered the Eggs Benedict ($11). They were somewhere between good and okay. Not much flavor besides the hollandaise sauce, but the eggs were soft and the bread was a good texture. SERVICE: Good, no complaints. AMBIANCE: Very cute coffee shop :) OVERALL: Not the most delicious spot, but perhaps I just needed to order something else. Everything else was solid and prices are very reasonable. I would come back! read more

I stopped in for a drip coffee to go after moving to the neighborhood. The coffee was delicious but I was also excited to see an extensive "all day" breakfast menu which I intend to check out soon. read more

Small and convenient coffee shop. Homemade. Warming welcoming staff! Great location. Great coffee / breakfast food to start your day right :) read more

3.5 stars The classic panini was pretty good; I'd order it again. It was flavorful. The Mac & cheese was from a craft box, but I believe they added egg to it, which made it taste one level up. They won't be famous for it but I would order it again. The French toast needed to cook a bit more, then it would have been alright. I wish it came with whipped cream or butter. It did look nice though. I did not like the cappuccino much, but I also brew my own coffee at home so I'm at another level. I only drank half if it. All in all, it's an alright spot with good vibes. read more

Fast service and above average food except for their bakery items. Ordered their vegetable jalfrezi which was good, just wish it had more veggies in it like baby corn, bell peppers etc (very small naan pieces). On the other hand, the lemon loaf was a disappointment it was stale and had no flavor! read more

My husband and I have had breakfast at Village Coffee a handful of times now. I found it while looking for a place that has both gluten free options and vegan options. Out first time here we had great service, and were impressed with their house made hot sauce ( actually hubby was, way too hot for me ), and a couple other things. However; I was not at all impressed with their gluten free waffles because they taste like they come from a box and when they're not served crispy or hot. Also, the gf and vegan options are very limited. On the flip side; they make great omelettes. I mean really great omelettes. So good, I forget that I try to be vegan and their home fries are out of this world! Salty, but rich with flavor and well prepared. The service overall has been inconsistent, but the home fries alone make it worth dining here repeatedly. read more

Good food and great service. We came in on a time crunch looking for a quick bite and some coffee, we were seated/ordered/and served within 5 minutes while the place was crowded. read more

Popular and good breakfast/brunch spot. Service is fast and good. A little expensive for some of the items or substitutes, but overall good!

Came here on a brunch date and there were so many options on the menu. I had the smashed avocado wrap it came with salad but there wasn't any dressing provided so I didn't have the salad. My date she had blueberry pancakes with eggs and bacon. We both had coffee and it was good. Upon leaving we noticed that there's bowls and shakes too! I got really excited over that. Definitely have to come here again and I love the homey feel of the environment. read more

Great place. Excellent coffee, of course. Excellent patries, of course. And very strong food. We have gone there for breakfasts. In addition to regular breakfasts, they make a wide range of Mexican breakfasts which are all incredible. Quaint atmosphere. Worth it. Maplewood, NJ https://villagecoffee164.com/ read more

First impression was a great one. I'm new to the area and I pass by this busy Main Street on my commute from work so decided to take a stroll through the neighborhood and instead of my usual urge to get Starbucks (a block away) I decided to try something new and support this business. Small, cute, quaint busy breakfast and lunch cafe. I ordered the Amaretto Macchiato and the Mexican Breakfast burrito and it was amazing. Food was hot, fresh, composed and packaged well for my to-go order. Will definitely stop by again and maybe eat in if it's not too busy. read more

They have outdoor seating options and were wearing masks and gloves. You can go inside for a to go order or stay a while. I ordered the lemongrass iced tea with honey. You can definitely taste the ginger, lemongrass and honey in the beginning of your sip and then there's an turmeric aftertaste. Skip this drink if you don't like ginger or turmeric. The banana bread was moist. Not sweet even with the addition of the chocolate chips. The banana flavor was subtle. This is a good mid-day snack. This place does have an extensive menu and the lunch wraps I saw looked good. There's lots of parking in the area as well. read more

Great local breakfast shop in town. I like to try coffee at different spots and town so tried this place. It was the best coffee I had as it taste rather commercial but did the trick. The servers was nice. I didn't get to try any other item but they have a wide variety of food on their menu and they have unique pastries that looked delicious. I'll prob return after lent to get a pastry read more

I was really excited about spending many afternoons this summer at this shop. We came for the first time on Memorial Day and they were closing a bit early, but we grabbed a cup and got to chat with the owner who told us he "wanted us to feel like this is home." I took that to heart and was eager to return, settle in, and give it another try. When I rolled up today on my new bike, I realized the lock I bought was broken and I was desperate. I asked the barista if there might be somewhere at the back door or secluded and out of the way that I could put my bike since the lock was broken and I was worried about it. She mentioned she'd go ask her manager, and then reported back that there wasn't anything they could do and maybe I could sit where I could see it. They could care less about me feeling at home or retaining me as a customer. It felt bad to realize the shop I was planning on spending most of my days at is unwelcoming and unwilling to help a potential customer be served and welcome them in after a pilgrimage into town. A simple gesture could have turned my day around and set me on a path of being their fan instead of leaving a bad taste in my mouth with no intention of trying to return. read more
