The banana pudding latte was absolutely phenomenal. It had a little bit of almond flavor. It seems like, but it was absolutely delicious. The lady who took my order today basically read my mind. I was going to ask for something banana, but she suggested it before I could even ask. The ambience is beautiful. There's a little bit of seating plenty of lighting and it's just cozy and cute. read more

Sometimes the best spots are right in your own backyard, and Mind the Gap Coffee in Monroe is definitely one of them. The atmosphere is warm and welcoming -- a cozy space that feels like the perfect mix of modern coffeehouse and local hangout. Whether you're grabbing a quick latte to-go or sitting down to catch up with friends, it's the kind of place that makes you want to slow down and enjoy the moment. The staff really adds to the experience, always friendly, helpful, and ready with a recommendation if you're torn between menu items. It's clear they've created not just a coffee shop, but a community spot where people feel at home. read more

I've been on the hunt for new coffee places and this one had come up, but I'm never typically in this area. Decided to stop by today after being not too far away. This is in a quieter shopping center that I probably would usually just drive past without thinking anything. Definitely a simpler aesthetic once you're inside. You see their bakery counter as soon as you walk in, I'm sure they do well selling a lot of those items. I didn't see many iced coffee or latte type drinks listed on the wall menu but as I got closer to the register, I saw a specialty list and decided to get something off of there. I got the pumpkin iced latte with oat milk and it was really good, but a bit sweet for my preference. The staff was very nice. Would come back again if I'm local. read more

A perfect addition to the Monroe community! This coffee shop is so aesthetically pleasing from the layout/flow of the place to the flower pattern benches to even the bathroom design! I am so glad this place is so close to my house. I've been here a couple times now and it's always a lovely experience. The staff is very friendly and patient. They always have freshly made pastries and special drinks for the season/holiday. They do have limited seating so don't plan on staying during busy hours. For this stop in, I got the iced matcha latte and it was the perfect drink after yoga. Can't go wrong with the matcha here! The chai is also one of my favorites here as well. It's not overly sweet like at some places and you really do get to taste the spices. read more

This little trendy bakery and coffee shop is much needed in the area. The decor is stylish and trendy. There are a few tables to eat in but most of the business is takeout. They really transformed the old bagel shop into something more modern. The seasonal drinks are really good and I like that it rotates. For the Fall, there's the pumpkin spice lattes and chais among many others. The bakery is delicious. My kids love the ham and Gruyère cheese croissant. The apple pastries are good too. It's pricey for the area (on par with Starbucks pricing or maybe even a little more) but the drinks and bakery items are artisanal and much better than any other in the immediate area.. read more

Lovely service and people working there. They made me feel welcome and called me by name from beginning to end, which makes a person feel very seen. They seemed to remember most people who came through during my stay, so many repeat customers! The space is very open, though there's only a few tables. Most of the baked goods are delivered, so I decided to try the only in-house item, the lemon loaf, which was definitely the right choice--so moist and lemony! I wish they had utensils though, because it was but messy to eat. I also wish they had proper plates and mugs because although I asked for the items to stay, my latte came in a to go cup and the slice on a paper plate. But that's just a preference. I wouldn't order the matcha again--I believe it's culinary grade matcha, so a little muddier tasting and more of a khaki green color, than the bright green ceremonial grade matcha. But I would definitely come back to try other drinks! read more

I stopped at this coffee spot to get my girls a sweet treat. I of course ordered a cappuccino for myself. Later in the day, the sweet treat option were limited so I went with the chocolate croissant. Review from my girls "there's so much chocolate!" As for me, the cappuccino was perfectly frothed. I will try a more fun drink on my next visit. The shop has some limited seating and is almost entirely minimalist white. Very hip. Quiet and cozy for a drink. The staff was welcoming and had great suggestions for take home items.

The strawberries & cream frappe tastes like I'm walking on the clouds I would go back for this item every single time, my only complaint would be the sporadic hours but hey it is a family owned business this might not be their main source of income so I understand.

There seasonal menus always feature something that sounds delicious and an experience in a cup. The decor and how they've arranged the space is great and really welcoming.

Coffee, espresso, tea, hot chocolate, and more plus dairy free milk options are available. There is quite a robust instant ramen selection available to pair with your beverage. There is also colorful artwork, an old-school Nintendo system & box TV for some retro nostalgia, and an art station make it a perfect way to escape and relax. The owner encouraged us to say hello to other Yelpers enjoying the experience and it was a wonderfully friendly crowd. Best of all, leashed and friendly dogs are allowed inside!

The food & stale flavors is the main reason I have to give this cafe a 3. The pastries are NOT…read morefresh/baked in house, the apple turnovers are the same as Shoprite's but were unfortunately much staler than the ones in store and its texture and taste seemed like it were from the day prior. It's completely okay for the pastries being outsourced but at the end of the day, it either tastes good or doesn't and unfortunately, for its a hidden cafe it was one disappointment after the next when it came to the food. Also, the cost of one shoprite apple turnovers from the cafe buys you the whole case at shoprite which is *actually* the same exact food. The breakfast sandwich was the most unflavorful and bland breakfast sandwich I've ever had, counting both outside and even at home. It was difficult to take a third or fourth bite of any of the food. The coffee also did not stand out to me in any way. Coming in very hungry, I was excited and while food typically tastes better when hungry, I just couldn't enjoy it. with this experience, I have to give the food a 2/5 If you're looking for a spot to hangout or get some work in, I'd say it's worth visiting. It is decorated nicely and has board games and a decent amount of seating and some mini tables. It looks like a feel good place people can stop by to sit and relax for a little bit. Service is fine, the owner is chill and nice to talk to.

This was our first time at Rook Coffee in Manalapan, and unfortunately, it wasn't the experience we…read morewere hoping for. Very poor communication between the staff -- we waited about 10 minutes just for a hot coffee. No one greeted us or gave us any update, and when we finally asked at the counter, we found my husband's coffee had been sitting in the back the whole time. Not a great first impression.

Stopped here on my way to a class. Simple and pleasant experience…read more It's in a strip mall, so plenty of parking. Bright, modern, clean venue. Service was fast & friendly. Didn't try any of their pastries, or pre-packaged stuff, but it's there. They only do hot or cold coffee, they do NOT do espresso's, which kinda sucked. I'm a big espresso guy. Great & convenient location.

Everything you want and expect in a cafe coupled with a very friendly team behind the counter. My oat milk latte was hot, strong and delicious and my blueberry scone was so tasty.

The wifi was strong and it ended up being a great place to get some work done for a bit. Like I said, everything you want in a cafe! Will need to make sure I come back from a bite to eat because their lunch menu looked so good.

I've been wanting to try this coffee shop for a while (for the Matcha and the vibes, of course)…read more Drove down here last Thursday on an absolutely beautiful day. It's located in a strip mall with tons of parking spots. The barista was friendly and quickly took my order, but since he was working alone, it took quite a while to get my drink and bites. I wasn't in a rush, so I didn't mind waiting. We were also entertained by some outside salon drama between two ladies. Hopefully they were able to work things out. As a Matcha aficionado, I wanted to try their honey pistachio Matcha. I also ordered some mozzarella sticks and a Cortado for my husband. My drink was a tad too sweet (too much pistachio syrup), but I still liked it. Mozzarella sticks were fine. I paid about $21 for everything including tip. I like the be kind messages on the cups and the black aesthetic was pretty cool. I wouldn't mind returning to this coffee shop as it was a pleasant drive from my house. I'd like to try some other pastries and definitely will have another matcha, but will request light on the syrup!

The only thing is be prepared to wait a bit sometimes because it does get busy, even on weekday mornings. My kids LOVE their hot chocolate too and I tried it and I have to say.. it is good hot chocolate, not just like your average swiss miss taking packages or anything. People seem to work from there/use the wifi and just hang out a bit. I have a few suggestions-- maybe ube flavored lattes and matcha (I believe they are filipino run anyways, and I would love to see some of that), and some more options for pastries! My kids' dentist office is right by here, so sometimes we drop by beforehand for a little treat.
