Cash only, so be prepared. Lines tend to be long in the mornings, but they move quickly. The self-serve drip coffee makes it a little easier, and the espresso drinks are terrific. Try an espresso shot in a cookie cup read more

Coffee Talk - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Stone Harbor, New Jersey

Stopped in for a latte and was a little disappointed, and I'd go elsewhere for my next brew. Although, if I were ordering some food, I'd like to come back! Pros: The food looked incredible. A wide bar of presumably freshly baked goods and future sandwich items looked incredible and but for my dinner reservation, I wanted to try! A very comfortable space with plenty of seating and spots to lounge. Service was sufficient. Cons: I'm not coffee connoisseur, but my latte was flat, without foam (even for almond milk!). It was disappointing. Prices were a little steep, mostly highlighted by the smaller of two coffee options being something like a 8 or 10 oz cup. Cash only. It's not necessarily bad, but it can be annoying. Conclusion: I'd like to explore the food options here, but as a coffee shop, i'd probably just stick to their drop or cold brews. read more

I love my black unsweetened ice tea. Usually where coffee is brewed there is a selection of fresh brewed ice tea. At coffee talk they have 3 flavors black , peach and green teas. I decided to try their peach tea. I was not disappointed. The peach spoke for itself. So after drinking my peach tea , i got the green tea. It was excellent too! A lot places sometimes do not clean their machines and the ice teas have a hint of coffee but not at Coffee Talk. The atmosphere of the coffee shop is helps one enjoy your beverage . I felt relax sitting on their couches. The ladies who took my orders were also very nice. I will have to return to try their black tea, which they ran out off . Thanks read more

The first thing that hits you is the smell when you walk in. They have a very large variety of food- sweet cronuts, savory breakfast sandwiches, packaged cereal and other baked goods. There is also a juice bar and an oatmeal bar. There is lots of seating depending on the weather. The service is pretty good- if not a little militant. You order in one place and they shout your name out in another when your order is ready. The only thing that sucks is that they only take cash but there is an ATM right by the place where you place your order. Sometimes the line can be out the door. But the line moves fast. There is lots to look at on the walls. You can also purchase coffee, t-shirts, hats, coffee mugs (regular and to go). Sometimes there is live music (a woman playing guitar). read more

Coffee Talk - The chalk board showing some options - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Stone Harbor, New Jersey

See all

Love going to coffee talk for breakfast everytime we visit stone harbor. Close to our hotel. Fantastic coffee and bagel sandwiches. Line could get a bit long, but it's worth the wait. I recommend the avocado egg feta bagel. Delish! read more

They're very busy but it's worth the wait, they have a lot of options and there's a bunch of super fun flavors and the vibes are great.

Waited until all 5 customer orders behind me were served before asking if my simple order had been lost. The woman behind the counter snapped at me that she was getting to it. I understand staff shortages and would've accepted that as the problem. But I don't need the attitude from a business I'm patronizing. I will same my money for nicer businesses. The coffee was also subpar btw. read more

Spent a few hours here doing some work on my laptop. Warm, comforting vibe and friendly staff. I had a great latte and my egg sandwich on a croissant was cooked perfectly in accordance with my request. Can't wait to go back when I can really relax and not do any work. read more

It's a perfect place to eat breakfast or lunch. The coffee is good and cinnamon rolls are delicious. read more

Really great coffee and bagels! Was able to order takeout and skip the crazy long line! Would recommend anyone call their order in ahead of time for easier convenience. read more

Love Coffee Talk! Thank you for handling COVID in a responsible manner & ensuring everyone's safety! Way to go! Great summer of delicious coffee, sweet treats & breakfast sandwiches- our family loves it ALL! read more

Very Busy during the weekends and around July 4th Holiday as we waited in a long line so be prepared. There was a quick option if you only wanted iced coffee or hot coffee at their oatmeal bar however we also wanted milk, a muffin and coffee cake and it was worth the wait. They also have a juice bar inside for acai bowls or freshly squeezed juice. Overall it is a great place for coffee and has lots of seating inside and some outside seats to relax and enjoy your cup of joe. read more

We recently took a mother daughter trip to Avalon and this coffee shop was recommended by a friend. We got coffees, bagels, muffins and smoothies. Delicious....all of it! The atmosphere is relaxed, and there was a chakra bowl being rung while we were there which made us interact with staff and we enjoyed hearing about it. Bring cash as credit cards are not accepted. And quarters for the meter. I highly recommend the protein shakes, the Milky Way coffee and my daughters recommend the iced coffee and French toast muffins. Great place. Will definitely return! read more

Good house coffee 2 eggs, 2 small strips of bacon, cheese on an English muffin for $7 is ridiculous read more

Was the worst experience I ever had trying to get a cup of coffee. Cash and venmo only which is weird but is fine but they only had a small posted note saying 10$ minimum which makes no sense. The ladies were extremely rude to the point I didn't even get anything. My girl freind was able to get one and it wasn't even good. read more

I approach Coffee Talk with a little caution as I have had mixed experiences in the past. This is an extremely popular spot, but the popularity seems to mean that the teenagers running the show can treat the customers with whatever attitude they seem to be in at the moment. This year I had a mildly decent experience, although I visited slightly later in the morning and they were probably tired (the teenagers on the counter). Coffee is slightly above average for quality, espresso about the same. Baked goods are decent (I am a fan of corn-muffins), but what seems to be the change this year in Stone Harbor is all the local vendors got together in the off-season and decided to raise prices across the board. $8 bagel sandwiches, coffee (not lattes) costing upwards of $4, $10 cinnamon buns, and just about everything else really expensive. Even the real estate prices have gotten a bit out of control - prices here are higher than Martha's Vineyard, now. Coffee Talk's claim to fame is a place where Taylor Swift appeared before becoming a major star. They have been promoting this for years and its a little over-done, but to each their own. You will wait in line, you may or may not be greeted with a smile, and you will over-pay for mildly decent food and coffee, but that is what one has to expect now in what used to be a tranquil summer vacation spot, but what is now a place over-run by white-cheese, Philadelphia suburbanites and their hoards of uniformly similar kids. read more

Great local coffee shop with real coffee!!!!!!!!!! High quality coffee beans and very friendly. I had the green tea frozen latte which is a blended drink -- very yummy!!!!! They also serve sandwiches...didn't have chance to eat but I saw a few ppl dining and it looked SOOO good! Make sure you get a drink and walk around, it's usually nice in the area to stroll about. read more

$2.75 for a large coffee. Ouch, I've been robbed! Good, but silly to be charging that for a self-serve pot. I don't care how organic and gourmet it is, that's just overpriced. Go spend $20 on a pound of the best beans and you'll get a 100 cups of coffee. read more

The atmosphere is five star for sure one of the coolest settings inside. They have a oatmeal bar, I don't think I have ever seen that before. There is also a juice lady who uses fresh fruits and veggies. The coffee was good but not great, but I'll for sure get it again. We got a blueberry scone and a Cronut ( croissant and doughnut). My wife who loves Blueberry scones was very disappointed it. The Cronut was however out of this world and could be my new favorite pastry! It is a bummer they don't take credit card even though they are clearly set up for them with an iPad as their register, we bought less due to having to use cash. Also, no internet until 1pm is a bummer. They also seem to have a problem changing the batteries in their smoke detectors, 2 of them were beeping while we were there. read more

I normally only do positive reviews but was yelled at when I walked in the coffee shop a few days ago. I made the mistake and opened the door, didn't even walk in but got yelled at by a worker to get out. She could have been a little nice since it's hard to tell now a days where the take out window is, where the order window is. It get over whelming. I honestly just made a mistake. Oh well! read more

Hands down the worst coffee shop I have every gone to. The staff is so rude. I asked what flavors cream cheese they had, and she just points up in the air. REALLY? The bagels are horrible- so chewy/dough-like and takes stale- drive the extra few miles and go directly to Avalon Bagel- Coffee here, not good- also the coffee bar/sugar milk station is a disaster I went twice this summer, just because I did not know about Avalon Coffee (even though I have been going to the shore for my entire life) PS- it was two two many times! read more

Rude. Lady taking my order outside was so disrespectful. Yelled at me for not having my mask on outside when I clearly just forgot. It just kept getting worse she was rude to several in my party. It's a tough time for everyone she shouldn't be acting like this to people coming out to the place. read more

This is an adorable little coffee shop in an adorable little beach town. They have a lot of different pastry/bagel options along with coffee. I'm a huge fan since they daily have 3-4 different iced coffee brews to choose from! They have a large seating area and offer WIFI in the afternoons. I guess in the morning it's too crowded and they don't want to encourage setting up camp with your computer? I know a year or so ago they charged for the internet, but now it looks like it might be free. They also recently added a whole smoothie bar. I have yet to try a smoothie, but it looks legit. Just remember- it's cash only! read more

Very good place to stop and get coffee. Is a bit of a hike for me, seeing as I live on 83rd street, but I always make time to go down and grab a muffin in the mornings! read more

Such a cute place! But being so close to the ocean, and being that they seem pretty conscientious, their waste is a concern. Strictly from a green standpoint: Positives: Coffee Talk has a recycling bin available to their patrons! They also have mugs as an option for stay in customers. Negatives: Both Coffee Talk and Juice Girl use plastic, non-biodegradable cups for their drinks and serve their customers with disposable options whether or not they are taking it to go. When I was there, all of the customers none of the beverages were in mugs or washable cups. They also serve their food with a sheet of wax paper. Their to-go foods are served in a plastic container. Please consider switching your to-go cups and containers to a plant-based, biodegradable container. Try only serving your to-stay customers with washable dishes: cups, mugs and plates, as opposed to the disposable option. It would cut your costs and the waste down a bunch! Thanks for serving delicious juice and food! read more

The coffee was really good. Slightly overpriced, but my large cappucino was mostly milk. We were tempted to try a sandwich but we didnt want to spend $8 for it. We ended up Clarys in cape may courthouse, where $8 bought us a full meal. read more

good coffee and food but awful customer service. i've been coming here for years because of the food but have recently found myself going to other near by coffee shops because I no longer want to start my day interacting with such rude workers. The middle aged women who work the front have an awful attitude towards paying loyal customers. Stone Harbor typically has such hospitable businesses, so coffee shop should step it up. read more

Normally LOVE this place. They have a great variety of options and the coffee is always great. Today, however, I had a different experience, one bad enough to make me get a yelp! After waiting for 20 minutes in line (because I like the coffee that much) I received the wrong item. I know, this doesn't sound that bad, but the story gets more complicated... (as it always does on yelp) When the barista called my name to let me know my order was ready, he called 3 others at the same time. I had ordered an oat milk lattee (which I drink at least 4 times per week) and realized right away that they put the wrong lattee next to my card because anyone who drinks oat milk knows it looks very different from other types of milk. I told the barista before even trying it, but he insisted it was the oat milk "because he just made it". I insisted that he probably just mixed up the three lattees he just made but he insisted that I was wrong. I tasted it to check, and it was skim milk, the kind the woman next to me ordered. Coincidence?? I don't think so. So i was stuck with an skim milk latte, which I can't drink. I know I'm probably being dramatic, but if i'm paying $5 for a coffee from you 4x per week, the least you could do is at least pretend like you are listening when you mess up. I get mistakes happen, but come on. Im never going back, but If you go, request to never have the young, male barista with brown hair because he's rude and bad at serving coffee. read more

Been going here for years because my friend and I love seeing the flavors of the day for the iced coffee, and switching it up. I was shocked to see that it has only 3 stars but I can sort of understand, sometimes the coffee flavor does not come through at all. Regardless, this is my go-to coffee spot read more

Very cool atmosphere, quiet and relaxed. Very pricey for coffee. I got a cup of cold brew which cost me $6 and was mostly ice. My daughter got an Acai Smoothie Bowl from the Juice Girl and that was great but also a bit pricey at $7+ read more

Great Oat Lattes and bacon egg and cheeses! Really good local coffee spot. Also good flavored coffees!

My boyfriend took me here on a mini-date during his family vacation when we felt like we needed a little bit of "us" time. The smell of freshly brewed coffee had me hooked on this place from the start. Then I saw the special of the day: Creme Brûlée--so delicious! The two girls at the counter were giggling about something behind the counter the entire time we were there, but they did show us where to find everything we needed. Oh, to be that young again! We found a cozy nook in the corner with pillows to snuggle up against. There is plenty of seating indoors. The shop has a shelf of old books to curl up with too, which I thought was very cute. All in all, I loved this place. It's a little bit too pricey to be the "everyday" coffee stop, but it's a great place to take a date if you want to go somewhere that's intimate, without being overly formal. read more

Best BLT I've ever had (croissant w/ some aioli sauce). It was so juicy and crispy - a contradiction, right? The strawberry smoothie I paired it with was also delicious. The only downside, and this is really cruddy, is the lack of accepting credit cards. Yeah, there's an ATM in the shop, but still, it's 2016... Street vendors and food trucks take credit cards -- and established restaurant should, too. read more

We just popped in for cinnamon rolls and coffee and both were delicious! If we had more time, I would come back and go to the oatmeal bar. It is a cute little space to sit and they have good coffee. read more

So cute - this place is perfect - I love when you walk in, the fireplace is lit! Also love the mismatched furniture and fun decor, not to mention when we walked in the "Friends" theme song happened to be playing. Very appropriate. We ordered a couple of egg sandwiches and helped ourselves to the coffee selection. The sandwiches were really good. The bacon egg and cheese has a hash brown potato patty inside -- genius!! One thing that bothered me: they did not have a "roll" option so I got wheat toast for my egg sandwich BUT my bread spent too long in the toaster and they still served it to me - blackened and all. I am not picky about my level of toasty-ness but this was black - anyone else would have sent it back. However since it was early May I'm assuming the staff was new/out of practice. There is also a smoothie bar. Tried the custom oatmeal bar the next day - unique idea - loved it. I think it was $8 bucks for a cup of oatmeal which seemed like a lot but it was warm and tasty. read more

This should be updated to $$. The breakfast sandwiches taste like cafeteria school lunch food, as well as the muffins. Their house blend coffee is probably the worst coffee I've ever had. Should have tried a flavored blend. Their blended iced coffees all taste great, but then again what blended and flavored iced coffee doesn't taste great. read more

Stumbled upon this gem a few years ago. They are simply the best for a cup of joe or latte in the morning. The sandwiches and pastries are pretty good as well. There is a bench outside the door in case you are bringing your furry friend The only thing that leaves more to be desired is the oatmeal bar. I find it way to pricey for a bowl of oatmeal and for that reason never tried it. read more

This place is ok. The apple pie latte with oat milk is the only thing I like getting there. The people there aren't very friendly and always seem annoyed. The breakfast sandwiches are ok, they're just like any other breakfast sandwich you would get. They always seem to run out of bagels too. The scones aren't that good either. Your better going off to Avalon coffee or cafe noir if you don't feel like waiting forever and at least having good food and not feeling like your being judged. read more

Has gone downhill over the years. (Russian?) girl, manager I guess, behind the counter was very rude to everyone including the people working there. I was not impressed with the food and coffee either. It's a shame because it has great decor and location. read more

Nice atmosphere but the most poorly trained staff I've seen. My family has been coming here since they've been open and it's gotten progressively worse. They routinely mess up our orders and are rude to us. Plus it's overpriced, they only take cash and their one bathroom is often broken. Sadly there aren't many other coffee shops in town so folks continue to come here.. read more
