The bubble tea is unmatched. Their takeout process is super simple, but I love sitting in and doing some work on my laptop. The cafe is cozy and the perfect atmosphere to get things done. read more

One of my favorite little pleasures is finding new cafes, grabbing a latte and a sweet and enjoying the space for as long as I can. And since most of my work is remote, I get to find and try a lot of really wonderful cafes. Eminato popped up on Yelp while hunting for a coffee shop in the are and since then, I've been back a few times for the simple, clean & airy atmosphere as well as the good coffee. They are located in a strip mall, right next to a CVS, so parking is plentiful and easy. There were plenty of tables (about 8 or so) & strong wifi, so if you also plan to whip out your laptop and get work done, this is a good choice. There was even a table or two outside.The baristas were all super friendly and quick to bring out your order or clean a table. And the coffee! Lattes have always been good and, while I wish they were served hotter, they are for sure something I will be back to order again. In addition to coffees, they also have a big tea and boba menu. Unfortunatley, they have a very limited food menu, only serving things like scones, muffins, macarons and ham and cheese croissants. I will be back! read more

I came here today because the reviews were very high and their instagram featured some pretty good looking drinks! When i got there, it was a very small selection of baked goods, which was slightly disappointing. The guy that worked there took my order, I asked what kind of syrup flavors they had and he said "the normal ones" ... I go to a lot of coffee shops & most have at least 7 flavors, but he named caramel, vanilla, a floral one, and mocha. I was expecting a little more variety so 2/5. The latte itself isn't very sweet but it is very good. The latte is pretty strong. I got a cinnamon roll and got it warmed up and it was delish! They have a decent amount of seating imo. They also have two tables outside, which is where I sat. read more

Eminato in Hillsborough, NJ is a really beautiful and welcoming spot! I ordered the matcha-it was smooth and tasty, but I felt like they didn't put quite enough powder in it, so the flavor was a bit mild for my taste. The space itself is stunning, with artisan desserts, bakery treats, art on the walls, and sometimes live music that adds to the vibe. I'd definitely try Eminato again, but next time I'll probably go for one of their coffee drinks to see how those are! read more

Eminato is a unique business for central Jersey. Eminato is tucked away in Hillsborough and is worth the trip from neighboring towns for great selections, friendly staff and a cheery atmosphere. Eminato's drink selections are always on point, from their bubble tea to their coffee/lattes. My personal favorites are the Amber Latte (which comes in a black bubble tea variety and a latte version- I always get it with boba), the thai tea latte and their fall seasonal specials (pumpkin candy latte & autumn fusion latte). Each drink has a rich flavor and is not too sweet. If you have a sweet tooth, I recommend their selection of macarons (straight from New York City). I have tried Eminato's raspberry macaron and the candy apple macaron. Both were incredibly fresh and flavorful! Each time I come to Eminato I am greeted by their friendly staff. Owners Orest and Sophia always make sure the atmosphere is inviting and the space is decorative and clean. My experience is consistently enhanced by the hospitable service provided by Gianna, Jasmine and Zoe behind the counter! I always look forward to unwinding to a warm cup of Eminato after a long day of work, and I encourage you to do the same! read more

I tried eminato for the first time during Hillsborough's Restaurant Week, because the baklava matcha weekly special sounded so delicious. The description stated it was their 'premium matcha, sweetened with honey, poured over smooth oat milk and crowned with pistachio cold foam', and it was exactly as described (without the honey making it too sweet which is what I was concerned about). You can tell it's made with premium matcha, and the hint of pistachio really complimented the drink. I hope the drink stays on the menu, and perhaps with a hot version for the colder days because I would definitely order it again! read more

Popped in here for a mid morning latte! The matcha latte was good and I was glad they asked me if I want it sweetened or not. I think personally I would ask for extra matcha next time, just because I like it strong. There was a tiny wait but service was still fast. The baristas are super friendly as well :) The decor is also very cute and there's plenty of seating if you wanted to sit down. read more

eminato - Large matcha latte - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Hillsborough, New Jersey

Eminato is a beautiful cafe with a variety of drinks to choose from. Food: my brother and I both got small cappuccinos and really enjoyed them! The espresso was smooth and delicious. The milk was perfectly steamed and the art was such a nice touch. They use high quality beans from Rojo's roasters and it's very evident in the flavor. Ambiance: the cafe has come a long way from when it opened. There is now ample seating inside to do work, or just hangout. The ambiance is very warm and comfy with blue walls and beautiful accents throughout. Service: we chatted with the owner for several minutes. He was extremely nice and told us more about the different types of coffee that they have. Such a wonderful experience. This cafe is a great gem in Hillsborough! read more

eminato - Small cappuccino - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Hillsborough, New Jersey

This cute cafe is tucked away in a small strip mall in Hillsborough. I was looking for a cafe since I was shopping in the area and came across eminato. I ordered ahead and got myself a Strawberry Matcha and it was made within 5 minutes! Thankfully it was waiting for me when I got there. I really liked the drink, I'm a sucker for warm matcha drinks. The strawberry tasted really natural and wasn't too sweet, I wish they had added a bit more though! The drink was really good however and the interior of the cafe was really big and well designed. I might come back here again just to work remotely! Definitely check it out if you're in the area. read more

You will not find a better cafe, hands down. Eminato wins on coffee, atmosphere, pastries, and kind service. My family has been regulars for more than five years and love every drink we've had there. Their lattes are perfectly balanced- rich espresso, warm creamy milk, and beautiful art to top it all off. And don't sleep on their signature drinks. Eminato has created some of the most incredibly, unique drinks. Their egg nog cold brew and Valentine's raspberry mocha are particularly delicious. I could pontificate all day about their food and drinks but the real charm comes from their kind owners, Sophia and Orest, and the vibrant atmosphere they created. You can see the love they put into every element. So what are you waiting for? Get to Eminato ASAP! read more

What a great spot!! Had a perfect cortado and can't wait to be back. The staff is very friendly!

Easily the best coffee place in the nearby area. I've tried a few menu items both coffees and teas and they have all been delicious. The staff is also very nice and (as a somewhat frequent customer) remember you over time. I come here to do work and the atmosphere is great. read more

solid cafe, but nothing outstanding. drinks: i got the americano, it wasn't too bitter and went down smoothly which i enjoyed! However i did have an energy crash a few hours later, so maybe the coffee beans they use and i don't necessarily match. food: i got the almond croissant and turkey/provolone croissant sandwich, and both were okay. i think they source this from another bakery or something (from previous reviewers) - but the inner filling of the almond was crumbly and not as smooth as i would've liked. the turkey/provolone was pretty good, had hints of honey mustard that i enjoyed. maybe adding more veggies would have made it a solid sandwich! read more

eminato - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Hillsborough, New Jersey

A cute cafe with a selection of traditional coffee beverages, "Funky lattes", bubble tea, baked goods, and simple/quick lunch foods. I've only been here a couple times so I can't speak for much just yet, but their Blue Lavender Latte and Matcha Green Tea Latte are delicious. The Matcha Latte isn't too bitter or too sweet, and the Blue Lavender Latte is a perfect combination of nutty, floral, and coffee flavors. This isn't too important, but I also like that the lattes aren't served too hot because I'm able to come here in the morning before work and drink it as soon as it's served. I'll definitely be back to try everything else! read more

Cafe Brio is my favorite cafe in NJ! It is always a treat to stop by here when visiting Hillsborough. The baristas and owners craft each drink with care, passion, and expertise. My personal favorites are the lattes! I love how much Cafe Brio is involved with supporting other local businesses and entrepreneurs in the community! For example, their macarons are sourced from a local bakery in Hillsborough and they always feature local artwork on their walls. Overall, the environment is always friendly, clean, and welcoming; and every experience here is a great one! read more

stopped by cafe brio to get some work done in the early afternoon on a weekday. my friend and i got cafe au lait and a black sesame bubble tea, respectively. both came out really fast and were decently priced. the cafe au lait was pretty good. the bubble tea was decent, it was a little too milky for my tastes and didn't have any tea in it. they did put a lot of black sesame powder though which was great. overall ambiance of the cafe was great, not super crowded but definitely lively. the wifi was fast and the chairs were really comfortable! actually really liked the chairs! read more

Excellent breakfast! Stopped by on a recent road trip, and wanted a warm breakfast and a cozy place to enjoy our meal, and Brio fit the bill! Yummy croissant sandwich with ham, cheese and maple mustard, warmed in the microwave. Also had a breakfast frittata and masala spiced hot chai latte. Friendly staff, and it's nice that they display the pastries and sandwiches so you see exactly what you are getting. We were so hungry there was no time for picture taking! read more

Clean cafe with a good amount of seating and they offer some unique beverages! I was able to bring my laptop here and get some work done. They have free wifi (like all cafes). I got the Blue Lavender Latte, which came out looking beautiful! Instagram-worthy. The taste was okay to good, not too lavender-y. I'll have to come back here to try their other beverages. They weren't too busy when I came, so I didn't feel like I had to fight for a seat. read more

Cafe Brio is our favorite local business!! The space is beautiful, the cappuccinos are top notch (and I'm a very selective coffee drinker!) and the owners Orest and Sophia are just the best. They take such care in everything they do and are so kind and welcoming. They're so sweet to my boys who love spending time there and getting their special "steamers" Thank you Brio! You know we can never leave Hillsborough since we love coming here so much read more

Nice little shop with pour over coffee and pastries which you can enjoy in a relaxing atmosphere.

Great cappuccino! Even under the lid the gal gives me a little art work! What's the deal with the 3 star posts? All the comments are positive, but you minus 2 stars?? What's up wit dat? They know how to make a drink and it smells heavenly in there, support your locals, Starbucks never did nothing for you. read more

I was in the area with my sister looking for bubble tea and discovered this little cafe thanks to Yelp! We had a very pleasant experience and will definitely come back here next time. SERVICE - Friendly staff especially the guy who made my latte :) Can definitely tell he puts a lot of heart and effort into it. AMBIENCE - Very chill and relaxing space that's nicely decorated with some art pieces on the wall. Kinda reminds me of those hipster cafes in Portland. Great place to work, study, or just to hangout. DRINKS/FOOD - Everything we had was very good and very satisfying! Also reasonably priced. [MATCHA LATTE] - $4 (small) - It can be flavored with mint syrup (and maybe some other flavors?) Very well crafted and great presentation. HIGHLY RECOMMEND. [THAI BUBBLE TEA] - $3.75 (medium) - Delicious and awesome pricing. [CHICKEN CUTLET SANDWICH] - $4.75 - They had some different sandwiches that were pre-made. It was pretty good! read more

This is a special and quaint coffee shop in the area. They serve so many types of coffees, and even smoothies (max challenge anyone?). Their food selection is a range as well - I wasn't early enough to indulge but they do serve simple lunch items and baked goods which will be great for a snack or mid-day lunch, or on the way to work! As far as interior goes; I think it's so wonderful they have local artists displayed on the walls. They're crafted so that they highlight the profile of every artist. It's incredibly clean too so it's a nice break from a not-so-clean Starbucks you might enter. I must mention the chairs there are really comfortable, I like that it's not so couch/big chair type of place where you don't get too comfortable, just comfortable enough to enjoy a drink with someone at a table. I saw several people walking in near closing on a Sunday and the store kept open for awhile tending the customers needs. The owners here are incredibly humble and treat customers with care. I'd recommend this coffee shop to anyone - even if you don't drink coffee there is something for everyone. read more

Very nice small town coffee shop. Staff is pleasant. I would much rather shop here and promote small Town business than to get a drink from Dunkin' Donuts read more

Great little boutique cafe. Quality lattes and bubble tea. The owner certainly takes pride in CRAFTING every cup. Very nice place to sit, slow down, meet a friend and talk for hours, or also just take to go. A coffee flavor/type of the day is on the board. You can tell the owners take pride in the learning to appreciate coffee by providing the "flavor notes" and destination of origin. Lattes can be made with your choice of milk or sweetness (added honey to my matcha latte) to your taste. Bubble tea and flavored iced tea here is also solid. Bobas/bubbles are made fresh daily and are not tasteless gummies like some other places. I can drink the mango iced tea with popping boba all day everyday. They also added protein smoothies. Perfect addition if you are a The MAX gym member ;) Food selection is limited to pastries, muffins, danishes, empanadas, and quiches. All very good but that's it. The focus here is the coffee and teas. Cozy place tucked in the Hillsborough CVS shopping center. Very clean, and inviting for you to stay in a while since they serve you in real mugs if you decide to stay, lots of tables and power outlets for you to study or get work done. Skip Starbucks and come here. Definitely more quiet, cleaner, crafted drinks, and support small business! Don't forget to pick up your stamp card to earn your rewards. read more

My daughter was searching through yelp and found this spot. It was a rainy day and we didn't have much to do so we got in the car and drove here from Bridgewater. I was slightly disappointed there was really nothing displayed in the glass as far as food. The menu although is your typical cafe menu we went specifically for Bubble Tea. I paid $11 for two not so big bubble teas which was pricy considering I could have gotten a bigger one else where. I ordered a Matcha and my daughter a Thai iced tea one. They were good but I wasn't so thrilled about the prices . Also was impressed when they didn't have any food items displayed. Good thing I didn't go for the food read more

Cafe Brio is a nice, somewhat hidden, coffee shop. It has a cozy vibe with a seating area for around 20. The menu is interesting from pastries to a wide range of beverages. They have the normal espresso drinks with a few novel options, as well as a bubble tea menu. The prices are higher than Starbucks, but when you see the care and precision involved in making your espresso drink, you will know your money is well spent! read more

My daughter and I love their boba tea and their cinnamon rolls! We really enjoy eating at local restaurants

Love cafe brio! The owners are amazing and the shop always looks good. They are always trying new things out, whether it be a new item on the menu or redesigning the furniture.

There is limited seating available. Cafe Brio has a punch card incentive program for free stuff as well! read more
