The building itself looks almost like an old diner--long and brightly colored. Inside is more of the same. There are a couple of round tables with diner-esque stools and a few chairs randomly placed in the center of the seating area. All of it contributes to a kind of endearing quality of the place. I was greeted with a friendly smile by who I believe is the owner. I opted for a small coffee and a biscotti, as I wanted something that wasn't too sweet. The coffee is self-serve, which I'm not a huge fan of as sometimes they aren't as fresh, but management seems to take care of this. My orange almond biscotti, while I was happy to be able to taste the hints of orange, was stale. Prices were fair, as my coffee and the biscotti were each $2. It's a bit chilly in the cafe and a little loud with the music but I was still able to get some work done. If it were a bit closer to home, I think I would frequent this cafe a little more, but I wish the owner all the success!

They offer small, medium, and large but I've always gotten the medium bc the Large is HUGE. They add a decent amount of boba to every drink so there's enough boba per drink (I've even finished my drink sometimes with a lot of boba left over!) I personally love the tea based boba so I order the tea with boba added in. Adding the boba to the tea drinks does come with and extra charge but I think it's worth it! So far I've tried both the peach and pomegranate teas and loved them both. The teas are a bit sugary on there own so I like that the boba balances out the flavor. The location is very nice, while it is a little kiosk type place in the mall there is ample seating near the place and other places to sit around the mall. Overall, I love this place and I think it's a good value for your money!

Along Route 9 in Lakewood Township, you will find a cozy cafe. I have been wanting to come there…read moreever since discovering it on Yelp. Brand: 5/5 From the sign to the wooden logo to the solid font, Kava Coffee House maintains a cozy aesthetic as a cafe in Lakewood. It is formally certified as a kosher eatery by the Kashrus Council of Lakewood, NJ. You will also find the wood theme plays out in the interior as well, with wooden panels and the wooden signs. Website: 5/5 The opening page offers you a glimpse into the classy design, from the images to the cool color scheme to the overall theme. I did like the interactive pages of the online menu. Kava powers the website through Order2, which has an advanced online ordering system. It also takes you to the basic description of the business, which discusses the cozy atmosphere and the extensive food selection. Wait Time: 5/5 I experienced no issues or delays with my order. Indeed, the establishment uses the name basis when announcing the order. Ambiance: 4/5 I did like the smooth jazz playing over the radio and the authentic fireplace at the center of the establishment, warming it during the winter. The wood panels on the floors and the walls evoke the cozy vibe of a cafe. Around noon, the establishment can get noisy and cluttered, though it did not prove cumbersome compared to the rickety table. I did not have any issue with the seats nor the space within the medium-sized dining area. Drink: 5/5 I ordered the Kava Supreme Frappuccino, which is their signature frappuccino, consisting of cookies & cream, caramel, peanut butter, blended with coffee, and ice cream, topped with whip cream, drizzle, and cookie crumble. It definitely has a sweet taste, but it did not overwhelm me, despite having so many ingredients. The caramel and the coffee did give it the spicy aftertaste. The ice cream did give it a smooth texture without making the frappuccino tedious to drink. Service: 5/5 I did not experience any issue with the staff. They did have patience with me when I blanked out on my order and had to return to the menu to remember what I wanted. Worth The Money?: 3/5 The Kava Supreme Frappuccino encapsulated the brand succinctly within a signature drink. The way the website uses interactive pages manages to introduce anyone to the menu items, including a section dedicated to their specialty dishes, in such a way unique to the establishment. The wait time it took to make the Kava Supreme Frappuccino matched the quality, and it did not feel tedious with nothing about the ambiance interfering my experience. The staff put a lot of effort into their dishes, and the specialty drinks are no exception. Based on my first impressions, I will say that Kava Coffee House managed to get me in a good mood with its fireplace and the smooth music. That good mood stayed with me throughout the time I enjoyed the Kava Supreme Frappuccino. The website reflects the ambiance of the business with its overall design. While the staff cooking in the background can be tedious if you sit too close to the kitchen, the noise did not burden me. Would I say that the price was worth it? I will say that I would have gotten a drink like the Kava Supreme Frappuccino to cost the same regardless of the cafe, however the other menu items did prove beyond my personal budget. Considering the maintenance of the website design and the fireplace, I will say that the ambiance and website do justify the high prices, but only a little. Rating: 5/5 Stars Between four or five stars, I ultimately chose five stars, because the experience going to Kava Coffee House made their signature drink worth it. Its taste stayed with me throughout the day. A lot of care has been put on Kava Coffee House and I have hope that it will continue to serve Lakewood Township. Recommend To...

Shore Shakes is really small, literally just a counter with 3 or 4 stools. But of all the times I passed by there, I've never seen a line at the shake counter. Which leads me to say this place is a hidden gem and a half! The two dudes that were there at the time seemed super cool and very friendly. I'm not really that much of a social person, but I talked with the guy who made my smoothie for a few minutes after my smoothie was done. Definitely a nice, enegetic atmosphere, good music, and great staff. As for my smoothie. It was a s fresh as can be. They make it right infront of you, so you can see all that goes into it. No presevatives/ pre-made mixes or anything like that. I'd also like to add that most smootie places that I go to in the city charge you about $6 for a 16 ounce smoothie, so I was very satisfied that to see Shore Shakes giving 24 ouncers for the same price. And best of all, the few drinks they offer that have protien powder in them, they give you healthy doces. Something like 23 to 35 grams depending on what smoothie you get. And there's a great selection to chose from.
