"I was sitting on the dock of the Bernardsville Bay" waiting for my client to arrive that day. When…read morehe finally arrived, being from the area, he suggested we have breakfast at the Coffee Shop. Yes, it is called the Coffee Shop. With such a large breakfast and lunch menu, it should be called something else like "Where Everybody knows Your Name". I could not believe all the high fives flying around. It's a relatively small shop with both booth and counter service. Clean with pictures covering one wall. I ordered the waffle with honey and assorted fruit ($10.00) and a cup of coffee ($2.75). Yes, it was sweet but that is why I ordered it. I have to say it was also delicious. If ever I'm in the area at lunchtime, I'm going to order the pastrami sandwich ($18). It is loaded with pastrami.

Delicious, no frills coffee experience with a side of character. Located across the driveway from…read morethe Claremont Tavern, inside of the house-looking building that is also part of The Bearded Dragon, Goldfinch is a gem of coffee bar. It's just one guy, Gabriel, but he runs a good show. I really enjoy the beans he selects. Often he will offer a shot of what he is brewing today to see if you'll like it. Latte, flat white, cortado, cappuccino - it's all good. The owner is friendly and social, and if you stop in on a weekend morning you'll likely see kids playing card games while their parents watch. It's intimate and social in way that is extremely rare in 2025. If you're shopping for a board game, card game, or gift at the Dragon, you should stop in. If you live in the area, think about making it part of your weekend morning routine. Hours are changing soon to be weekend only, so keep an eye out and don't show up when they're closed!

A long time customer was at the shop as well and we ended up chatting altogether. It was a really nice experience for f being part of a close community. The shop was cute and the coffee excellent. There are coloring pages with the coffee shop theme for us to color there or take home. Very thoughtful and welcoming place throughout. Highly recommend this place!

Okay, so you might be a little confused when you first arrive. But this is a wonderful little find!…read moreI was looking for a cafe to meet with a coworker for a bit in the area and our usual spot was already closed for the day. Of course, I jumped on Yelp and landed here: a tiny cafe with 4 arm chairs in the front section of a laundromat! The Wi-Fi was strong, my oat milk latte was delicious and the chairs were cozy. Also, the woman who took our order was so sweet and kind. When she saw me take out my laptop she brought me over a side table and even brought the paper with the Wi-Fi over and hung it up on the wall across from me. They had a slightly limited coffee menu, but you could definitely get drip and lattes here. My coworker got an iced tea as well. They had a few pastries as well if you are looking for something to munch on. A group came in while we were there and got bubble teas to go, so now I know of a wonderful new spot to get my boba fix! While this may not be the best for hunkering down to get work done (I mean, it was totally okay for us) it seems like a great place to 1) grab a drink to go 2) wait while you wash your clothes! If I needed a laundromat and was more local, this would be the no brainer place to go. It was clean, they were so incredibly friendly, and the drinks were delicious.

Did I go to a place called Fresh Press Juice and only get the sandwich? Was this a great sandwich??…read moreYES. After much contemplation and thinking I'd be walking out with a big salad, I ended up getting the curried chickpea salad wrap and LOVED it. It was premade in the fridge and I would get it again today if I were closer. The chickpeas, olive oil, mustard and vegan mayo made up the actual chickpea salad and it mixed so well with the apples and cranberries. The perfect combo of curry flavoring and sweetness. Also loved the crunch from the lettuce. Can't wait to come back for this exact sandwich but also will make sure to get a juice on my next visit.

This popular cafe is located right in the heart of Basking Ridge. It's small inside but there's outdoor seating also. We had a half hour wait for a table inside. The place has a very cozy feel to it and everyone we met who worked here was very friendly. I started my meal with a Vanilla Chai Latte and my wife had a Macha Latte. My wife ordered the Blintzes with blueberries and I had the Paris Morning breakfast. We both loved the food! My dish came with 2 potato pancakes, 2 poached eggs, and smoked salmon. Just delicious! A cool bit of trivia is that Paul McCartney and his wife stopped in here a few years ago. We didn't see Paul today, but we did enjoy the experience!

Glad we didn't because we got great service at the bar and a lot the people in the 2 chair tables were still there enjoying their meals when we were leaving. What we ordered: - Steak and Eggs (Grilled NY strip steak, two sunny side up eggs, breakfast potatoes with Chimichurri sauce) - Eggs Benny (Two poached eggs, thick cut candied applewood bacon on toasted baguette, topped with Hollandaise sauce served with grilled asparagus) - Lemonade The food was very good. I prefer my breakfast potatoes crispy so I didn't finish those but everything else cooked to perfection. This place was on my list for a while now so I'm glad I was able to cross it off and would recommend it!

I love the theme of this place and the Swedish fish added to each ice cream is so so cute. Would definitely come back to try other flavors, it's always nice to support a local shop when you can!
