BRICK: walking into California Cold Co. feels like stepping into a perfectly timed midday reset with buzzing energy, great music, and a crowd happily fueling up on caffeine. Leashed and friendly dogs are welcome inside as well as at the outdoor tables, making it an easy stop for you and your pup. Their craft drinks are thoughtfully made, with a mix of everyday favorites and creative seasonal specials, plus light bites to round out your visit. We loved spotting a couple of other dogs soaking up the outing with their families, always a good sign you have found a gem. They also have a location in Manalapan, so you have got options when the craving hits. read more

I had heard about California Cold Co. a couple of times and finally decided to try it out. I first went to the Brick location of California Cold Co. and ordered a matcha. They had a special matcha for a limited time called the Applejacks matcha, so I ordered that. I had them take off the white chocolate and do oat milk because I'm vegan. I absolutely loved it. It was so delicious and flavorful, and it was the best flavored matcha I had had in a long time. I do love regular, traditional matcha with no flavoring, so I'm not talking about that. I'm just talking about a flavored matcha that was so good. After a couple of weeks, I went to the Manalapan location and had the same matcha. While it was not as good as the Brick one, I didn't really hold that against them. Then a couple of weeks later, I went back to the Brick location and they told me they didn't have matcha because they ran out. They said their customers who really love matcha were not happy about it either, and that they didn't know when they were going to get it back in. That's why I took away one star. They are a business and should make an effort to always have matcha available. Matcha not being available one day is one thing, but not having it and not knowing when it's coming back is another thing. I just don't think that's acceptable. Besides that, this place is really good. Their drinks seem really creative. I've mostly only had the matcha because I love matcha. It also seems like a really nice place to sit and study, and it always seems clean. The day they didn't have the matcha, I got a chai tea instead and it wasn't that great, so I know not to get the chai again. Overall, I do like California Cold Co. a lot and I hope the whole matcha thing doesn't happen again. It seems like a really good, solid place. read more

Solid coffee, friendly staff, great atmosphere to chat and hang out or to get some focused work done.

I got the Teddy Graham Latte with Marshmallow cold foam. It was Delicious!!! The service is great, the girls are very nice. They have a good selection of breakfast options. A little pricey. The seating is nice. They have big tables and solo/couple tables. The tables are actually very nice and all come with a cute little plant. It's very clean and quiet. read more

The vibe was super calm and clean at 9 am on a Saturday. The staff was friendly and smiley :) I got the iced maple brown sugar espresso which was so yummy, very strong coffee flavor and a lot of sweetness (coming from someone who usually adds 2-3 splenda always) and my boyfriend got an iced latte with vanilla cold foam & he also enjoyed. Drinks were out in maybe 5 minutes and there was plenty of seats to chill in. Overall very glad we tried this place when we were down the shore, not disappointed! read more

First time trying California Coffee and it was great! They have a solid selection and really nice espresso machines. Didn't try the foods or pastries yet but will try next time. The cold brew was solid and they offer coffee ice cubes so the drinks don't get watered down which was great. The specialty coffee was also good maybe a little sweet so if you like it less sweet just be sure to ask for it. well definitely be back and would recommend trying if you're nearby! read more

So first time here and while they've been open a year and a half I must say the experience was very nice. Very home feeling a place to hang out do work cool vibes all around the Masha you can tell is definitely feels a lot more compared to Dunkin' Donuts or Starbucks has that real earth taste, I would definitely rate this a 3.9 out of 5 end I would say that this size is probably compared to a grande for about the same price with cold foam read more

I ordered a dark roast cold brew with a little splash of half and half and it was white. It tasted like straight milk. My husband ordered a drink and it was so sweet and completely undrinkable. We both threw the drinks away. And what's worse, is the wait. We ordered and waited over 10 min for 2 drinks. They cater to online orders I guess and don't prioritize the people standing there. That's absurd in itself. Find a balance. I'll never go back though.... read more

amazing coffee shop, best in the area for sure. so many drink options and great espresso. great baked goods too, especially warmed up

Cute little coffee shop that feels very Starbucks-esque. I got an iced latte and my friend got an iced chai. Her chai was very good, mine was meh. It was kind of acidic and the sweetener tasted odd read more

This place is great! They have really unique cold brew coffee flavors/drinks. The staff is super friendly and the drinks came out fast! The prices are reasonable too! This space is so pretty and relaxing. It has a nice set up if you need to work from there! read more

I've been to their Manalapan location a few times but it's so dark and dreary in there so I was happy to see they have a new bright and airy location. The place is clean, wide and open. I ordered two lattes, hot--one with oat milk the other with almond. The oat milk latte was fine. The almond milk latte was not. I don't know how a specialty coffee shop doesn't use barista almond milk. Using regular almond milk doesn't give the latte that thick steamed milk texture and leaves you with an almost salty taste in your mouth. read more

California Cold Co - btw their prices are wrong online. - Bakeries Near Me - Brick Township, New Jersey

Being a huge fan of coffee and all things coffee-related, I was incredibly excited to see a new shop opening up in a plaza near me. After what seemed like half a year of waiting to open, California Cold Co is finally here, and... it's not half bad, but I also have some gripes. First time I came here was after work at 6:12pm on a Friday, needing a quick pick-me-up after a fairly exhausting day. I arrived to a locked door, with absolutely no signage whatsoever giving their hours or open/closed status. Fine. While not thrilled that they didn't feel the need to post any hours, I figured I'd try again the next day. I arrived the next day at around 10:30am, and boy the place was mobbed. The line stretched all the way to the door, and after a long wait I ordered something fairly simple: an iced coffee (large) and some avocado toast. The latter, I was informed would be an additional 15 minute wait. I was a bit surprised by this, since it should just be a matter of having some toast and smearing a bunch of avocado onto it? Not sure what's so complex about it. While sorta tasty, I didn't think the avocado toast was anything all that special, and especially at the price of $8.50 wasn't at all worth it imo. The coffee was tasty and among some of the better iced coffee's I've had, but again - at the price of ~$6 for a large, is a bit much. All in all, not bad, but very expensive for what you get. Better hours would be nice, as would better prices. Right now, this feels like your average yuppie "fancy coffee" place like Starbucks, or any other franchise you'd see in a mall. Might be back for an iced coffee if I'm feeling exceptionally lazy, but otherwise forgettable. read more

California Cold Co - Avocado Toast with hot honey. Overpriced at $8.50. - Bakeries Near Me - Brick Township, New Jersey

The location is super clean and comfortable. The pastries are minimal and sad looking. The staff although curt and not very friendly, did get my latte order correctly. Nice and varied coffee options. read more

Love this place! So happy it opened, it's only about 1 mile up the road from me. Beautifully decorated, comfortable seating with plenty of space available, the staff is always friendly, and every single drink my fiancé and I have ordered we have enjoyed! We've visited a few times, and it's now become our Friday morn treat. The lavender syrup has easily become my fave, it's delicious and I hope it stays year round! I did order the avocado toast and even though it was great, I feel that $8.50 for it is extremely steep; it's just 2 pieces of dave's killer bread with avocado, red pepper flakes & hot honey drizzle. My fiancé said the plain croissant with butter was very good. We're looking forward to trying new things! read more

I am so picky about my coffee! I drive from island heights to Brick just for this place. Their matcha isn't sweetened which I love. I could drink their cold brew black it's not bitter in the slightest. The watermelon basil lemonade... oh my god SO GOOD. All the people working there are so friendly and the service is quick! read more

Cutest new coffee shop located in the strip mall on Cedarbridge Rd store is next to Sherwin Williams. I got the Maple Brown Sugar Espresso it was excellent, love that they use vanilla extract and have the option for coffee ice cubes. I hope they have a rewards program coming soon since I have a feeling I will be here a lot! read more

nice coffee shop, drinks were good and fairly cheap. The inside was pretty nice as well, cool place

Coffee was atrocious and took an hour to be served. Like come on we are getting coffee not a full course meal

Great open cafe with plenty of seating and outlets to work! I like to find places that I can set up and work from to break up my remote work and I struggle finding places in this area that can accommodate. Along with the welcoming space, they also have great drinks and fresh baked goods. Love their special Blueberry Matcha, very tasty! read more
