    Ham & Cheese Croissant

    Honestly the food was amazing and the coffee as well. I got the rainbow cookie latte and it was strong enough but still sweet. I also got the ham and cheese croissant. Will be going back and it was $17 for both which is reasonable!!

    I will frequent here for a great specialty coffee in the neighborhood! Recently did a couple of TooGood2Go orders to try some of the pastries as well, I really enjoyed the oreo cookie! There also was a delicious green marshmallow cookie that we really enjoyed. Staff are kind and always making a suggestion when asked, which i love. They are generous with the too good to go orders! I love sitting in this shop, looking at the art. Thank you!

    Banana foster and Rainbow cookie
    Glicy Jane T.

    Prep Coffee in Matawan was such a cute little find. I got the iced Rainbow Cookie latte, and my boyfriend went for the iced Bananas Foster. They were perfectly sweet and had that creamy flavor that made me pause after the first sip. I ordered the Jersey burrito and hash browns, and he had the blueberry ricotta toast. That toast honestly surprised me. The ricotta was so smooth, and the blueberries were super fresh with just the right touch of honey. I may or may not have stolen more than one bite. Before heading out, we of course had to try their pastries. We got chocolate chip cookies, which had the texture of bread rather than a cookie but it was still good and vanilla cupcakes with mable bacon frosting, it didn't sound like it was gonna work flavor wise but it was really good. The space is cozy and has a clean, local charm to it. Although, it could get really loud in there, quick. The service felt super genuine, like they actually cared. We just sat there, enjoying our food, our drinks, and the slow Saturday energy. It's one of those spots I'll remember and want to come back to, not just for the coffee but for the whole feeling.

    Wow! This blue berry latte is amazing! I will definitely come back for this! Husband loved the bagel and matcha! Super cute cafe with plenty of seating. Perfect place to work remotely. Staff are very friendly and accommodating.

    Prep Coffee is AMAZING!!!!! This is legit such a gem. While their coffee drinks are super fun and tasty, their food is legit top notch. I highly recommend the burrata avocado toast and the egg and cheese sandwich. I love coming here on the weekends and it is such a nice change of pace from the usual bagel. You can tell their menu and dishes are expertly crafted for great flavor. The vibes are also great, the staff are the nicest and take so much pride in their drinks and food. The pastries are always freshly made, rotating different options, and they are super tempting. I usually end up with a scone! Overall I am so happy I found this place and it has become a regular spot. I can't recommend them highly enough!

    Boo-latte! Comprised of espresso, milk, vanilla, marshmallow, and cold foam. Shhhh, let's keep this between us.

    No trick but lots of treats! If you want great lattes or any coffee or tea beverages, this is one of Central Jersey's coffee/tea cafes to come to. For some Halloween delights, they offered some Spooky Spider Cupcakes and their very trending, "Boo-Latte." The Boo-Latte with espresso, milk, vanilla, marshmallow, and cold foam was delicious and perfect for the ghostly season. I rewarded myself here after some holiday shopping and enjoyed delicious treats and interacted with friendly baristas. Speaking of rewards, if you give them your name and phone number to sign up, you can earn one point for every two dollars and receive a five dollar discount for every 50 points you redeem. This is a well-lit environment with free wifi. There are four comfortable, fairly long tables for people to bring their laptops and get things done. I will be returning regularly to this cafe. Hope to see you there!

    Growing up around the coffee business, I have become a coffee connoisseur. A local place, Prep has an urban city vibe that is very attractive. It is a great spot to work while enjoying a beverage and brunch. The menu is diverse and offers custom drinks similar to big box stores, only better styled and tasting! During the holidays I had the Boo Latte and their Pumpkin Spice. Amazing blends with subtle flavors, I marveled at their how much care they put into each drink. They have free WiFi and are open work hours only, which allows one to utilize the space in case you are tired of your home space. But my most favorite perk was their dog friendliness. I brought my puppy as we're out for a coffee walk. They welcomed him and made him a custom puppichino. While I wouldn't keep a dog with me all day, it was refreshing to see the business be so open to people with animals. I highly recommend this new coffee shop!

    Be careful, there is an "admin fee" of 3% added to your check. Tax evasion? Staff is friendly and coffee is good. Ambiance is simple but sufficient for a quick stop.

    My favorite local coffee spot. So many options to choose from. Breakfast & bakery items are all delicious. Place is a vibe.

    Great cafe. Food was good. The French ham & cheese is great but very greasy. The chocolate chip scone was super dry and bland. Maybe it was a bad batch but me and my husband tried to split it and we still couldn't finish it. The hibiscus iced tea was good but overpriced. Cookies and cream latte was good but bland. I wouldn't do that again. Very cute layout. Service was okay but it was a bunch of young girls that were more interested in talking to themselves than helping customers. Food and drinks took a long long time.

    Matcha Latte.
    Brandon C.

    I've been here more than once and each time did not disappoint. For this visit, ordered was a Hot Matcha Latte, lightly sweetened. The beverage, finely crafted by Kris the barista, was smooth with a nice strong matcha flavor that was creamy and light. Perfect! Pastry's baked goods and full-on small meals are made in house. Spacious large tables and free wi-fi are available for work, study or media consumption. Sign up for their rewards program. Prep is on my list coffee favorites.

    Overnight Oats

    absolutely love this place! I always get the chai but recently tried the cinnamon honey latte and and orange drink they had and they were both delicious! The food is always tasty too! Friendly staff and a few large tables to study, work, or hang out. The Cali burrito is a favorite of mine - it's always so good! Overnight oats were great too - not too sweet and they weren't soggy.

    I love coffee and love finding new spots that aren't your typical Dunkin or Starbucks. There is plenty of parking in the back, it's attached to other businesses and under what looks like apartments. Seems the back entrance is the main one. They serve drinks, have food and pastries and are dog friendly. I got an iced pumpkin spiced latte, it was very yummy. Not too overpowered by pumpkin flavor and really enjoyable to sip on. There were several other people in here doing work. Looks like a cool place to relax and have a coffee. I'd come back for sure if I was in the area.

    If you haven't tried Honeygrow yet... you're missing out…read more Everything is made fresh to order- from protein-packed stir-fry to salads and their delicious Honeybars with fruit and granola. My daughter ordered the Buffalo Chicken & Blue Cheese stir-fry (I thought it sounded crazy... until I tried it ), and I went with the Garlic Butter Chicken: fresh egg white noodles, roasted chicken, snow peas, scallions, mushrooms, toasted sesame seeds, chili crisps, and garlic butter sauce... AHHHmazing! When you're looking for a healthier meal that's loaded with protein and actually tastes indulgent, this is definitely worth adding to your list.

    First time at Honeygrown and I will be returning pronto!…read more Food was delicious! I had the build your own bowl with noodles and shrimp and spinach and scallions and pineapple and a sauce that tasted like pure heaven! Although it was very busy there were clean tables for us to sit and they also have a lovely outdoor space for when the weather is nice (it was nice last night and the tables outside were full) The only thing that bothered me was I was not able to leave a tip after paying at the screens. I found that odd in today's market. EVERYONE wants a tip. What I was told by the woman in the collared shirt who brought us our food was "The only tip you need to leave us is a review online if you enjoy your time at Honey grown" I wish employees had name tags but she's about my age (mid to late 40's and that's all I will admit to!) with a hat on over her pony tail and she had some tattoos on her arm. It was very nice of her to bring us our food when they were so obviously busy. May I suggest Honey grown supply name tags so we know who we are talking to without asking? It takes a lot to shock this gal and shocked I was! To turn down cold hard cash for a review is something you don't see every day. Bravo! There was also a handsome young man at the counter who was putting food on trays and in bags who deserves some recognition. He had so many bags and trays lined up and he didn't break his stride! Actually, they all deserve some recognition! I believe there were 4 or 5 young men cooking the food at the same time in big pans over what seemed to be fire pits and everyone was focused on their work. I didn't see anyone on a cell phone or standing around doing nothing and what a sight that is to see! I was truly impressed. Honey grown must be very picky when hiring staff. I got home from a church concert too late last night to write this review so here I am this morning. The only reminder I needed to write this review was the adorable little box of leftovers in my ice box! I wonder if it's appropriate to have stir fry for breakfast? If more restaurants adopted the attitude that positive feedback is worth more than dollar bills then less restaurants would be closing! I'm coming back either this evening or lunchtime tomorrow with my lady friends from church and will be sure to leave a tip at the screens! Did I mention the screens? That was my only hesitation when arriving. I prefer placing my order with a living breathing human being but I will accept Honey growns method of doing things simply because the restaurant staff still interacts with the people. Myself being one of those people. Looking forward to seeing you all this evening or tomorrow! Thank you Honey grown! Sincerely and uniquely me, Monique Influencer of influencers! Queen of all queens! Blessed by God and Keeper of the red bottom shoes! If you don't recognize my name now, you will very soon. Be YOU! Be KIND! Be BEAUTIFUL!
