    Yummy delicious coffee. This fall drink suites the fall season. Partner got the Cranberry Pistachio Cake cold which brings out the pistachio flavor.

    Yum! Visited for the first time today and went with my folks. We ordered two hot chocolates, a drip coffee, a cinnamon raisin bagel, a sausage-egg-cheese bagel sandwich, and a breakfast burrito with bacon. All of our food was tasty and so were our drinks. The bagel sandwich was unique in that the sausage was crumbled and mixed into the egg. We also enjoyed the patio seating. Overall, my experience here was a good one and I'll be back to try one of their specialty drinks in the future.

    This was not what we expected. Quiche was microwaved and overdone. Did not offer to make decaf coffee made instant instead.

    We found this great little coffee shop while on a trip for my brother-in-laws basketball…read moretournament. The staff are super friendly and helpful, and the coffee was excellent! A few things we really enjoyed: first, even in a small-ish town they had plenty of non-dairy milk options that my wife could have. She got an iced 1/2 caff latte with almond milk and vanilla syrup and said it was very good both times. Second, and even better, they carry gluten free, vegan baked goods!! (See my review on Madelyn's). These are egg free, dairy free, and gluten free ! All very good and highly recommended. When we come back to the area for a longer visit we will definitely come back here!

    A friend visits River Road Coffee House daily because he lives it so much. When I was in town…read moretaking him to brunch, I had to check it out. I needed caffeine anyway for a long drive back home. I wasn't sure what to expect when I pulled up as the building is pretty plain from the outside, but I was excited that it had its own parking lot. I received a very warm greeting when I entered. The girl who took my order was so kind and we had a nice conversation about Matcha. River Road just got Matcha, so I was excited to be able to order that. It is unsweetened, which is great, because then you can control how sweet you want it. They also had a sign out front stating they made their pumpkin syrup in-house, so I got a regular Matcha latte with that pumpkin syrup and it was 6/5 stars! Oh my gosh, I wish I lived closer so that I could get it more often. The food menu looked delicious and if I hadn't just come from brunch, I would've grabbed something. They also have a little grab and go counter if you're in a hurry. The decor was simple, but cute. Two things I liked most were a drink, inspiration board listing so many different flavor combinations, and a Polaroid picture board of all the dogs who have come through the drive-through.

    On a cross-country road trip and have been making it a point to stop at coffee shops along the way…read more This place happened to be our Ohio stop and I'll say it's probably my favorite so far! Upon walking in I immediately loved the decor and overall ambiance of the place. The baristas were very friendly and gave some solid recommendations. We got the Flapjack and Buckeye drinks and they were so yummy. We also got the chia pudding which tasted like banana bread. They also have pre-order sour dough loaves with specialty flavors so we put in an order to grab one on our way out the following morning!! Very good place and would come again any time I'm in Newark.

I let her know I wasn't planning on purchasing anything but was curious if I could try the Electric Blue. It was FANTASTIC!! I bought one and immediately came home and recommended it to my family. No caffeinated drinks other than their matcha but if you're looking for fresh pressed juice or working some Reishi into your diet this place is it!!
