“ As a former Californian I approve! Lol loved that it’s a woman owned business. Coffee, vibes, and avocado toast are on point! Unique and don’t see often enough is you can add dark coffee ICE CUBES to your iced drink to prevent watering down your coffee. Tasty and worth the extra .75 cents! I did try one of their signature drinks: Alcatraz. It was tasty and thanks to the staff for the modifications in sweetness. I love the classic oatmilk latte - smooth and tasty! They do have plenty of indoor and some outdoor seating. There’s 2 parking spots dedicated for the grab and go if you ordered online or just need to order & leave. Just a coffee would be less than 10. Add food for one person coffee closer to 15 if you need oatmilk subs like I do. ”
“ Love this cute woman owned coffee shop in Englishtown! Tastes better than Starbucks with the added benefit of supporting a local shop. The Newport is my go to with oatmilk and sweet cold foam and they never miss. I’m a slow coffee drinker and my drink tastes good even after an hour with the regular ice cubes. It doesn’t taste watered down. I mostly do a mobile order as I leave my house and my coffee is always ready for me when I arrive. I love that I don’t have to wait especially when they get so busy. ”
“ The staff is always welcomng & friendly. The set menu has a great variety to choose from and the specials menu is just as intriguing. I've never had a bad drink from here, and I usually change it up. The facility is always clean and has just enough seating to not be over crowded. ”
“ I work at Pro Concepts right next door and grabbing a coffee from California Coffee Co. has become a daily highlight. The coffee is always top-tier, and the service is quick and friendly. One detail I really appreciate—especially now that the weather’s warming up—is the coffee-flavored ice cubes. It’s a thoughtful touch that keeps the cold brew bold and refreshing without getting watered down. Highly recommend! ”
“ A cool cafe with plenty of seating. Service is friendly and fast. The staff will help you with ordering your drink if you have any questions or substitutions. ”
“ Love this place, I wish we had one closer to Manasquan. I’ll go 30 minutes out of my way for a coffee and breakfast every now and then. I ordered the La Jolla coffee with oat milk - absolutely delicious! The avocado toast was the best breakfast AVtoast I’ve ever had. I love the fact that the toast wasn’t too thick, it was crispy and it was seasoned perfectly with just the right amount of spices, spicy honey and avocado. The staff was super friendly and quick to serve the food. I love the atmosphere. It’s super chill and inviting. ”
“ AMAZING COFFEE! unique flavors. Love the sweet treats. ”
“ I was looking for a place to go chill, read and relax and a friend recommended this place. It was worth the drive. The ambience, customer service and the employees are awesome. It’s a little place in Manalapan township and if you are looking for a place to just hang and work on your stuff, this is the place. Love it! ”
