Awesome coffee spot in the heart of Long Branch…read more Ordered two cold brews and they hit the spot. The service was quick and easy. This spot is definitely a vibe, it was packed and the line just kept growing. I didn't order any food but it looked great coming out of the kitchen. Awesome job Offshore Coffee.

Luckily we are usually able to find street parking within walking distance. Inside is quite spacious with lots of seating. There is a good list of food options usually ranging from sandwiches to wraps, bowls and pastries. They even have ube coconut loaf which was also sweet and satisfying! we tried their sammys and chicken caesar wrap and they are delicious. The coffees are made well too with great seasonal flavors. Their peanut butter mocha is yummy! Another bonus for me is their family-friendly atmosphere with a baby-changing area in their restroom and the fact that there is a playground right across! One of the top reasons we appreciate this establishment aside from visit-worthy service, drinks and bites! aaand close the beach! lots of WINS!!

Happiness starts with a good cup of coffee. After hearing so much hype about Rook, a local coffee…read morechain in NJ, I finally decided to give them a try. I stopped by the Long Branch location, located in a small plaza with plenty of parking. The interior is pretty small. No seating available - just a register to order, counter, pick-up area, and merchandise section. They only operate as a grab-and-go. I can see it being cramped during rush hours in the morning... luckily I came by on a weekday afternoon and was the only one there. Rook prides itself on having a small and simple menu. They only sell hot pour-over single origin coffee and cold brew. They picked a few things to perfect and do really well. So for espresso lovers, you're out of luck. BUT don't let that steer you away because their drinks are phenomenal. They use high quality, premium beans. The employee was extremely helpful with guiding me through the menu and giving me recommendations. I love that milks and sweeteners are available at no additional charge! They also have decaf and half caf options. I ordered a Vanilla Cold Brew (regular size $5.50) with milk and sugar. And let me tell you... it was love at first sip! It was probably the best cold brew I've ever had. Super smooth, rich, and creamy. The vanilla flavor wasn't overpowering and added just the right amount of sweetness. I definitely understand why so many people love their coffee. I wish there were more locations closer to North Jersey because I can see myself becoming a regular. If you can't visit a storefront, you can buy their cold brew concentrates or coffee beans online. Don't sleep on Rook!

I can't help myself when I see they have the Cinnamon Vanilla iced coffee. It is so good and not…read morecrazy sweet like flavored coffees at the competitors. This was my first time at this location and everyone was real nice and service was quick. For those not familiar with Rook, they have different flavors on rotation, so you can always try something new! They also have their staple flavors available all the time if you're the kind of person to stick with your regular order. Pricing is on par with other coffee shops, but quality is higher for sure. Rook definitely offers a chill vibe while you're inside waiting for your brew. If you haven't tried Rook yet, stop reading this review and start your order ;)

Without a doubt, Rooks Coffee has become one of my favorite coffee places in Central Jersey. Their…read morebeverages are always on point without the exorbitant prices. No matter which location I'm at, the service is always excellent and due to their premeasured coffee formulation, They have it down to a science. I will always get a consistent cup of coffee. Upon entering, you are greeted with a smile and if you're stuck in choosing, the friendly employees can make some excellent suggestions based on what your taste buds are into. People place their order either in person or using Rooks' app. While they don't have chairs and tables for you to sit and sip, it's still a very calm and chill place as you wait for your drink to be prepared. A quick shout-out to all the employees who work there. I am gobsmacked at their talented artistry, both in making a delicious cup of coffee and in their drawings on the cups which can be found on the side.

I don't know where to begin. So I ordered breakfast thru DD and ordered full stack of French toast…read moreand a short stack of pancakes, both orders get delivered and neither order was delivered with BUTTER OR SYRUP. What restaurant let along a breakfast spot send French toast and pancakes out for delivery with no butter or syrup. I called them up to be told that the owner was bringing me the butter and syrup. I waited outside for an hour just for him to never show up. I called them back was yelled at by one of the waitresses and called a not so nice name and then was told it was too busy and I should call DoorDash for a refund, I said that isn't gonna help me get my butter and syrup that u said u were bringing that I have been waiting over an hour for. So now my 44$ breakfast is cold and still hasn't been eaten this all started at 10 am it's now 11:51 am. It's a real shame as I have been going to the hungry hobo since I was in second grade and this will be the very last time I ever get a thing from them. Very disappointed in this place. I wish I could give it less than one star it should be in the negative.

They carry a lot of delicious blends of coffee which they prepare fresh "pour over" right at the counter. Our fave blend is the Kenyan AA which we have only found at The Turning Point, so we were pretty excited to see it in the lineup at Coffee Corral. The food options are pretty varied and menu has everything you could want: savory, sweet, healthy, or chocolatey. Staff is very friendly and helpful. Depending on your timing, there can be long lines, but you can text your order in ahead of time and just pickup to pay when you arrive. They also have a loyalty account system which allows you to pre-load an account and not worry about bringing your wallet every time. Definitely a great cafe to pickup a quick bite and coffee when you're visiting the hospital!

As soon as I entered the bakery I was greeted with warm eye contact and smiles. The bakery seemed lively and occupied with many customers and hard working staff. It's a Brazilian bakery, therefore the counters are filled with traditional Brazilian sweets and baked goods. I'm Greek, therefore we express through food, which I found common among Brazilian culture. I didn't have any issues communicating with the staff. The place is different from conventional American bakeries, which will make you feel like you're traveling abroad!
