    Muffin
    Nina Z.

    Decided to stop and grab some coffee before playing a round of golf nearby. Both my matcha latte and my husband's regular latte were good. We also shared a muffin which was fresh and tasty. If I was on the area I'd stop by there again.

    Eclectic dining area

    Super eclectic dining area right off Atlantic ave. Came here off season and it was still super packed. Service was quick and all of the options we ordered were perfect. There are some board games available to play as well as vintage stores to browse while you wait or sip.

    20oz iced latte (oat milk)

    Best Iced Latte I've had. Maybe it's the coffee, maybe it's the preparation. Either way, I'm enamored. Went 3 days in a row. Wish I could go every day.

    Came here while visiting from Virginia last month and am still thinking about it. AMAZING coffee. I got a mocha latte and a chocolate croissant, both of which were sooo good. Flaky buttery chocolately croissant, yum. The guy serving the coffee was really fun and friendly too. I spent like two hours there shopping at the book and toy store. Reasonably priced books and a great selection that's easy to browse through. I usually have no interest in toy stores but this one was SO cool. Also has many comfy places to sit and chill, drink coffee, read, etc. The vibe of this place is unmatched. I will def be back when I'm out this way again!

    Hit or miss. If the owner (I assume he's the owner) is on the machine, the shots are well pulled and the drinks well poured. The baristas-in-training, however, are inconsistent at best.

    Fun and funky shop and cafe

    Favorite coffee shop of all time! Friendly staff, tons of options, delicious drinks, eclectic and vintage atmosphere. Wander around and sift through the well organized book shop and vintage toys. We spend HOURS here. Mwaaah!

    Super cute little coffee shop connected to some consignment shops. The workers were super friendly and attentive. The over night oats were tasty, they had a case of pasties that I did not try. They had a lot of flavors to choose from and their drip coffee tasted really smooth.

    Very cool coffee house, has a vintage clothing store, used book store and toy store attached. I had lunch and a cappuccino. Glad I found this little gem

    Coffee & Books. Heaven.

I enjoyed winding my way through the maze of goodies. Some of the things that caught my eye were Polish pottery, pretty reusable tote bags, cheeky kitchen gadgets and funny cocktail napkins. They also had sign art, candles, throw blankets, funny socks, adult greeting cards, yard flags and air plants. It's a very eclectic mix of merchandise. The store is a bit tight in spots so I'd recommend against bringing a gaggle of people, big purse or stroller.

She's running the cafe by herself but has helpers on some occasions. Her menu is especially unique because, although it's mostly an American menu, it also has Mediterranean/Middle Eastern options. The food is always fresh and yummy and menu prices are super low. This place is an excellent option if you want a quick bite and your goal is to satisfy your hunger. Similar comments have already been made repeatedly in other reviews. But here's what might be a new take. Cobbleston Cafe's average rating should be at least 4.7 and above and I'll tell you why I think it's not. It's because people are ridiculous. Honestly. I read the other reviews and their expectations of a CAFE are incredibly nonsensical. You can't enter a cafe and expect a full kitchen. Cafes like Starbucks, Peet's Coffee and even Panera are much larger places and don't have full kitchens. We all know Starbucks is overpriced and often sell stale menu items. This place is incredibly affordable, has a LOT more to choose from, and is 1000% better because it's so much more fresh! It's a cozy and smaller place. There's a reason locals love this cafe because it's satisfying, fresh and is priced very fairly. Have the right expectations and you'll also be giving it 5 stars! And if you prefer supporting local businesses, please stop by Cobblestone Cafe and support this wonderful lady too.

The drink and food menu is ample and offers a great variety of choices, including gluten-free treats and vegetarian foods. Best part - everything is made fresh in-house! Put these menu items on your must-try list: 1) Chocolate chip cookies - I've been on a hunt for the best chocolate chip cookie and Amity's is high up on the list 2) Cafe Nico - delicious hot or cold coffee made with fresh orange citrus zest 3) Hot ham and cheese sandwich and the quiches! Very good! 4) A scone with coffee/tea is always my go-to! Amity boasts a cozy place for the community to come together, for friends to catch-up over coffee, and for small businesses to meet and network together. The venue can also be rented out for private events! You can trust Amity with its clean eatery, a cozy and welcoming atmosphere for the entire family, great hospitality, and an overall good experience.
