Best Coffee Shop

To start, the vibes here were great! They were playing a bunch of songs that were sampled in popular songs, and we all tried to guess the song that featured the sample (Sample Sundays)! The owners were extremely kind and great to talk to. On top of that, the drinks were fantastic. My girlfriend and I tried the Pumpkin Pie latte, drip coffee, and the Bonita Apple Bomb, which were all delicious! It was well worth the 30 min drive, and we'll definitely be coming back!

Stopped in because I wanted a good cup of coffee and I was amazed at the atmosphere and great quality of service from this establishment!!!! The Butter Love Gone Green was amazing and my wife enjoyed the Sade. A must visit spot if you’re in the area.

OMG!!! Why didn’t anyone tell about this hidden gem! First off, the vibe in the cafe is just so dope- from the music, to the vinyl records, to the cool chalkboard that you can write on this is the perfect cute spot… I had the green tea refresher which is 10/10 legit the best I’ve ever had and I’m very picky… the customer service/ professionalism was so good. I will definitely be coming back again, you need to check this place out. 👌🏾👌🏾

the cutest coffee shop ever! the coffee was the best i’ve had in my life, check them out

I love this coffee shop. Every detail of this place has been carefully thought out, from the menu to the little messages on the lid. The owners want you to come out of their cafe in better spirits than you were before you got there, and it really works. I've have a few different lattes and matcha drinks, and they'll all been delicious. I'm looking forward to seeing what they come up with in the future.

This is such a cute vibe. The aesthetic is content worthy and the coffee is *chefs kiss* I’ve been back a few times, tried a few different coffees and have not been disappointed yet.

The strawberry matcha was really good and so cheap. The girls there were also really nice and you can tell they enjoy making the drinks. Such a cute cafe!

I can’t recommend this place enough! You won’t be disappointed. The coffee was absolutely amazing ( I had The Nut Cracker) — smooth, flavorful, and just perfect. Plus, it came with a cute little cookie, which was such a nice touch. I loved how they personalized the messages on the coffee too, it made the experience feel extra special. The staff were all so friendly, making the whole visit even better. Let’s just say, I can’t wait to go back!

Me and my boyfriend stopped in this morning to try some coffee and it did not disappoint! Cute and quaint, the coffee was delicious and this will definitely become my new go to spot!

I went to visit this black owned establishment to support them and the drink i tried was amazing. They recommended the Bonita Applebum and it was great. Definitely have to go back to try other drinks.

Was great, seasonal matcha was awesome. It was the banana pudding matcha. Would recommend

If you’re in the area you have to check out this coffee shop. I got the cream brulee latte and it was the best coffee I’ve had in a long time! The staff were so nice too!

First time here and it did not disappoint. Great coffee shop and I’m not a huge coffee drinker. Alex and Rhianna were extremely polite and helpful. I have a heart condition and they helped me choose the right coffee for me. Wife and I will be regulars here. 10 stars!

Nice experience. Totally great coffee. Everyone is friendly, enjoy the music and they invited me to pick vinyl for the record player

This is a must try coffee place in Central Jersey. Not only do you feel good about the coffee, but it comes with a positive affirmation. Must try crème brûlée latte… it’s amazing

Finally checked out this coffee shop and it didn’t disappoint. The two girls were super sweet and the coffee was amazing. I’ll be back for sure!

Today was my first time going to this coffee shop, and I was genuinely impressed. The place had a calm, relaxed vibe — nothing forced or overdone. The coffee was really solid, exactly what I was hoping for. Also, the message on the cup caught me off guard in the best way. Simple but thoughtful. I’ll be back for sure.

The vibe is really nice and there’s a lot of great options if your new to matcha it’s really good but it could be a little stronger otherwise still loved it 10/10

Was my first time visiting after my sister-in-law told me how good their coffee is and I was not disappointed! I got a matcha and it was delicious! All the employees and everyone in the shop for that matter was super friendly. It was a great atmosphere and experience. Would 10/10 recommend supporting this local business instead of a coffee chain.

Really delicious coffee and teas, the flavors are so unique and delicious! If you love matcha you’ll love their tropical matcha. The staff is really friendly and helpful and the decor is beautiful! So glad to have such a great spot so close to home

My husband and I were driving around looking for a Dunkin' or Starbucks when we noticed this cute café. We decided to stop, and oh my goodness, it’s now our new favorite place. It's a bit away from Colonial, but definitely worth the drive. I ordered the Sade cappuccino, and it surpasses any other big-brand coffee shop. The place is adorable and quaint, and we automatically signed up for the rewards membership since it's now our new go-to spot.

The most adorable and comforting coffee hideaway! And the best part? The uplifting messages on the cups! Mine read, *"You are enough."* Honestly, that’s exactly what I needed to hear in that moment. **Drink Highlights:** * White Chocolate Raspberry Latte - literally felt like dessert in a cup with some caffeine - my most personal fave!! * Strawberry Matcha * Butter Love Latte * Old Fashioned Cold Brew * Granny’s Pumpkin Pie Remix **From the Bakery:** * Pumpkin Muffin * Pumpkin Cookie (my personal favorite!) * Everything Croissant When you're welcomed with the kindest smiles and your coffee whispers a little encouragement—what more could you ask for? The amount of effort the staff puts in to write those messages in those cups is highly commendable 🫶🫶

I loved that every cup came with a cute little quote! such a thoughtful touch! I couldn’t decide what to get at first, but the coffee I chose was amazing, the matcha lemonade was refreshing and delicious, and the matcha cookie was absolutely out of this world.

I got the chance to try this R&B themed coffee shop and it was great! When I arrived I parked on the street nearby. I walked into the cutest shop. I was greeted by Saba and I ordered: Yumberry Butter Love Latte The Escape Good Days I loved the drinks a lot. My favorite was the Yumberry and Butter Love! I enjoyed my experience!

My friend and I always journey to new coffee shops, and this has been one of my favorites so far! The staff are extremely welcoming and friendly! The atmosphere is a 10/10!! Great music, and awesome art as well. The coffee is to die for, and came with an inspiring quote on the lid ❤️ I will be going again!

Went to R&Beans for the 1st time today and Really enjoyed the coffee i purchased! I entered and immediately was greeted with smiles and welcome. I ordered the Butter love latte (10/10) and a delicious coffee cake! I just wish i was given a little bit more information about maybe if they had a rewards programs or maybe some suggestions for the future. The young lady did tell me the drink i purchased was very popular. Overall great experience and i Will definitely comeback

The coffee was excellent! I got their iced caramel latte, you can really taste the quality in every sip. I’ll definitely be back for another cup!

My girlfriend and I went here to check it out and it’s amazing! The two ladies were friendly, and quick with our order! The matcha drink and the D’Angelo was really good! Their pastry and croissants was really good as well! Feels homey and love the atmosphere! Will be definitely coming ba

Super cuteeeee coffee shop. I wanted to try something other than Starbucks and came across this. If you’re looking for something strong, I suggest the Cococano. Not sure the name of the other drink I got, but it was also good. It looks like it would be sweet, but it wasn’t! Which I really enjoyed.

Try the iced coquito with cold foam! It’s my favorite! I’ve been coming here the past few times and everyone always so nice and welcoming! Love the vibes in here and of course the music!!!

OMG tens across the board! The staff were super friendly, the drinks and pastries were amazing, and the inside is decorated beautifully 🤩 the drinks have cute affirmations on them too. Will definitely be back. 10/10 recommend 🙏

The BEST Strawberry Matcha I’ve had in New Jersey. The Cafe is also super cute and cozy! Can’t wait to come back and try more drinks

Super Chill vibe! Service was nice and the Apple Pie Chai was absolutely delicious❤️❤️❤️❤️

Puts starbucks to shame. The coffee alone is great quality, but their signature drinks is what keeps me coming back. My fav drink is the C.R.E.A.M brule latte or the pink matter. The staff is always friendly. Great comfy vibes, and even better I get to support a black owned business. This place will now become a weekly routine.

Stopped by this café for the first time, and I was genuinely impressed. The coffee was absolutely delicious—better than many other cafés I’ve been to. The staff were incredibly friendly and greeted me with warm smiles as soon as I walked in. It made the whole experience feel welcoming and comfortable. I’ll definitely be coming back!

Great atmosphere, customer service is A1 ,and friendly staff . I recommend getting the Butter love with extra cookies, almond milk, and 1 shot of expresso. If you don't know what to order, the staff will definitely throw out some good options which they have for me . I truly recommend R&Beans if you are looking for friendly vibes and good coffee.

Stopped by R&Beans on a quiet Sunday morning and instantly felt at home. The owner greeted me with such warmth — everyone was genuinely kind and welcoming, which immediately set the tone for a great visit. The vibe of the shop is everything you’d want in a local coffee spot: cozy, inviting, and full of charm. Their menu has so many cute and creative options, whether you’re in the mood for a signature drink or just your go-to brew. I love that they also offer seasonal specials — I caught the spring menu and was not disappointed. I tried the butterscotch coffee (which was incredible), and the cookie I grabbed? SO good I wish I had taken five. You can tell everything is made with care. I’ll definitely be back — whether you’re local or just passing through, R&Beans is 100% worth a stop. Highly recommend!

Their coffee is very good. They also have baked pastries and various artisanal drinks. It’s usually not too busy — and quiet enough to work. The staff are genuinely friendly. The interior has cool Brooklyn coffee shop vibes.

Absolutely love this shop its adorable and staff are super welcoming and helpful. I went with my sisters and got ice coffee (D'Angelo with oat milk-strong coffee and had an amazing cinnamon flavor) and the (creme bruelee with oat milk-Absolutely delicious and light) my favorite 😍 i highly recommend this place loved it and i will definitely return

a small cozy cafe tucked at the end of Avenel. I love that they put encouraging messages on the coffee lids. the baristas are really friendly! One time I walked in and they were listening to KPop hits from the 2010s which I was not expecting 😂😂😂 but it was great!! The D’Angelo is my go-to.

If you're searching for more than just a cup of coffee, this charming, family-owned coffee shop is an absolute treasure. From the moment you step inside, you’re greeted by the owners with a warmth and genuine kindness that immediately makes you feel at home. It’s clear they truly care about each person who enters, knowing their regulars by name and eagerly learning about new visitors. The friendly and down-to-earth staff share this same welcoming energy, always ready with a smile to brighten your day. The atmosphere here is a delightful departure from the cookie-cutter vibe of big franchise coffee spots. It’s cozy and inviting, exuding that unique “hometown heartbeat” that you simply can’t find anywhere else. And let’s not forget the coffee – it’s absolutely divine! Their lattes and cappuccinos are expertly crafted, often with a creative and unique twist that sets them apart from the rest. Every sip feels thoughtfully made just for you. Whether you're a local or just passing through, this is the place where you'll want to pause, slow down, and savor the moment. It’s not just about coffee here – it’s about community in a cup.

Nice spot. It’s small but quaint. It appears the theme is r&b/ hip hop, based on the drink names and the atmosphere AND the name of the cafe ! The place is filled with nice cultural artwork. We came in and the music did not match the theme at all which was mildly disappointing. That’s really the only reason for the 4 instead of 5 stars. The butter love latte was delicious but i’d rather hear Butter Love by Next in the background instead of Just Give Me a Reason by P!nk.

When i first heard about a new coffee ☕️ shop in Woodbridge, I was thrilled. Who dosen't love a place where you can relax, work, connect with people all while enjoying a nice cup of Joe or tea. No complaints @ all with the pastries and beverages. All good. What i loved most was the name of the establishment and the vibe with the decor that matches that nostalgia. My reasoning for rating this coffee shop stars 3 🌟 was clearly the staff was very loud most of our visit. I understand it's not a library, but it isn't a concert either. I think they have to be more conscious and aware they are running a coffee shop. People visit to possibly work, read, listening to music etc. None of that was really possibly with how loud they were in close proximity of one another. So this isn't a negative review more like an awareness reminder. This generation needs to be consciously aware of the environment they are in. Other than that great place. 👍🏾🫶🏽😎

Loud and busy ciffee shop with what seems like staff and their friends just hanging out at this small coffee shop. Ordered my capuccino and it was automatically served in a cheap, disposable, small to-go cup without a lid as if I was not welcome to stay and drink here. Ordered the matcha cookie but it was fogotten - wasn't meant to be. Sat and drank my coffee anyway in the small shop which was rambunctious and not peaceful at all because it was like a hangout for the staff and friends in a small cozy but crowded area.
