I had the Irish Rebellion, and they were able to make it decaf! My wife thought it was too sweet but that's why I loved it. It is a mix of coffee, Irish creme (no alcohol), and whipped cream. I'm told the standard cappuccino was terrific as well. We got the homemade pop tarts, which are a big upgrade over what you cna buy at the grocery store. I would not travel here just for the tarts but i think they are worth trying if you are here anyway. Be warned, they are much bigger! The whole cafe had a strong anti-establishment vibe and a unique character. I highly recommend.

I absolutely adore this place and I actually found a new place to get a haircut next door for a reasonable price so it was a win-win for me. They made me a vanilla latte, served in a real cup, it was excellent. They had homemade pop tarts!! So I ordered the Nutella one of course! Pastry was light and flaky, maybe a needed a little more filling, perhaps they could've heated it up more. The counter dude brought my order out separately. The place is doing great business. I love the decor and will definitely be back. I love mom and Pop small businesses, an antidote to Starbucks. Could be a great place to enjoy something to eat, have a nice cup of coffee, and relax with a book. Seems pet friendly too as a young woman brought a cute Boston terrier in with her.

I was expecting just coffee and maybe a few desserts, but they actually offer a wide variety of food options, from wraps and salads to nachos and burgers. I started with a hot chocolate, which came topped with whipped cream and was a great way to kick things off. It was hard to choose from the menu, but I have a weakness for nachos, so I went with the chicken nachos and they definitely did not disappoint. Everything was fresh and flavorful. My friends were happy with their meals as well, and the manager even stopped by our table to let us know about their karaoke night, which was a nice touch. If you're in the area and looking for a casual spot with more than just coffee, it's definitely worth stopping in.

Leashed and friendly dogs are welcome inside as well as at the outdoor tables, making it an easy stop for you and your pup.

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.

I had heard about California Cold Co. a couple of times and finally decided to try it out. I first…read morewent 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.
