    Vibe

    The perfect cafe for a change of pace! Both indoor and outdoor seating! The matcha was perfect balance, not too sweet. The views outside are so refreshing. I will be back. 10/10 experience. Barista was also very pleasant. Def check it out if you're in the Clinton area!

    Menu and counter

    What a cute coffee shop. The place is so welcoming with little nooks to sit in and the offering is away from all that. I was welcomed in by the young na behind the counter and he took my order. I opened for the butternut squash soup and the matcha lavender haze latte. Everything was so yummy. The soup was a little thinner than I expected but it was still good and had a little kick to it. The lavender haze was so yummy with a hint of lavender. Definitely a stop for Clinton, NJ.

    Tried this coffee shop on windy Saturday afternoon . Little space with few seatings inside as well as outside. Stayed longer inside because of the weather. Had the organic Americano coffee, cafe latte, croissant and lemon blueberry loaf. They're all good and prices are not too expensive . Place gets packed and busy specially in the afternoon when we visited the place. Our server Kayla was very nice, pleasant and hospitable in suggesting as well as answering questions about their products. Good customer service and tried taking some pictures outside overlooking the river. If not of this windy weather, outside seating is the best. Definitely will be back.

    An entire case of sweet treats looked delicious

    What an adorable little spot to have a nice hot cup of tea or coffee. They had a fireplace inside, which was warm and welcoming. The staff was super friendly and made my drink perfect. A large variety of copies is available as well as sweet treats which looked delicious.

    Cozy interior

    Cozy, small cafe with seating indoors and outdoors. Small menu of hot and cold beverages. I liked my Rivertella with decaf and nutella. Ghirardelli Hot Chocolate with whipped cream was good but slightly sweeter than I wanted. Got some grilled cheese paninis- good for a small bite. Some baked options as well. Service was pleasant when ordering. Finished drinks were called out but for some reason, they didn't when our food was ready. We had to ask bec we noticed them on the counter. Not wheelchair accessible bec. of narrow entryways and steps. Restroom is located in the building behind it (no signage but near entrance to River Mill View restaurant). Located on the small Main St area, with views of the Clinton Mills Dam; near the Hunterdon Art Museum, Red Mill Village, Lowthorp Truss Bridge and other small businesses. Must be nicer in the warmer months. Got free 2-hr street parking

    Beautiful location and cute shop! The staff was very friendly. I got a coconut pie latte and breakfast panini. The food and drink were pretty tasty. My only qualm is that the coconut pie latte had chunks of coconut in the drink which was a bit weird having to chew through while drinking. Next time I'd definitely order it without the added coconut. Panini was good!

    Pumpkin spice macaroon

    Cute little coffee shop right by the river. Definitely a go to place for the fall vibes thirsty neck walks stores that are all connected to the café as well as a nice restaurant in the back there's free Wi-Fi and ample seating for anybody who is working remotely or just watching Netflix! The staff was great. I asked them for the recommendations and they were able to give me their favorite pastries and coffee orders. When I'm in the area again, I will definitely be coming back!

    Blueberry Chai
    Genevieve S.

    Super cute inside and was quick ordering. I got a strawberry cream chai and my mom got a blueberry chai. The brown sugar taste of it was nice and I love the matcha in my drink. Super cute, if I lived closer it would be a normal spot for me. We also got the chicken bacon ranch panini and it was "sinfully good" according to my mother. I'll definitely make the drive down again at some point

    Fall seasonal menu

    This place is so cozy! It's along the water so super cute seating. Great coffee selection. Staff isn't friendly but the drinks are good. Every time I visit this area I get a coffee here. FALL MENU - the hot apple cider, and the hot cinnamon spice tea latte are my favorites!!

    Tried the London fog and it was really good. Seems like they have a lot of drinks to choose from and they also sell bbtea. I didn't try anything else since I was trying food from places nearby. I would def get the London fog again. Street parking

    Vanilla dirty chai latte and cranberry scone. An awesome place to spend a beautiful morning! Great service and great food!

    Iced vanilla dirty chai-awesome! Fresh baked cranberry scone-awesome! A great place to spend a beautiful morning!

    Another stop in my USA coffee obsession! Stone Bean is in a great setting, beans roasted on site, and the employees are chill and helpful. What else could you want? Honestly it's not a quick stop for the interstate, so for those of us road warriors / road trippers, be prepared for a long hunt for parking. It's worth it!

    Overlooking the dam outside the coffee  shop
    Louis G.

    A true small batch coffee toaster cafe with a million dollar view of the Moll and dam outside their location. The coffee was authentic and fresh, a nice lingering smooth mild taste. I did fall in love and since we were unaware of the site prior to our visit, apparently this site is a widely used photo op due to its historical significance.

    This place is great, but if you're not going to let us do the cream ourselves you need to ask about it when we order.

    Whenever I'm visiting family in central NJ, Grounded for Life is a must visit for me…read more As a vegan, it's a real challenge to find decent - let alone GOOD - food in this area. The exception is Grounded for Life, which offers delicious breakfast and lunch options that are thoughtfully prepared, delicious, and satisfying. Their extensive, all vegan menu offers breakfast options such as bagel sandwiches, burritos, toasts, and more, and even their coffee is surprisingly good! I have also enjoyed their wraps, bowls, and sandwiches. And they even have burgers and hot dogs, too. GfL is my new spot for takeout (order ahead online to save time!) before heading to the airport. The chunky chicken wrap saved me when my flight back to the West coast (already a long journey) was delayed by several hours and I was starving. The cafe also has a number of yummy desserts displayed in the case that are great to-go. GfL also offers a "Meal Prep" option where you can order food on a weekly or monthly basis. Service is friendly and efficient, but they are sometimes understaffed. Try to be patient and nice, and your tasty food will be out soon enough. The cafe itself is pretty small with just a few tables indoors. The outdoor patio is more expansive, and I recommend enjoying your food and drinks outside if the weather is decent.

    I've been coming to (and loving) Basil Bandwagon for about 20 years since childhood, and it's still…read moreone of my favorite local businesses! I have celiac disease, and back when gluten-free food was nowhere near as well-known or widely accommodated as it is today, Basil Bandwagon was one of the only places my family could reliably find food that met my dietary needs. Now, as a health-conscious adult, I still shop here regularly. Not just because of the gluten-free selection, but because of the quality of the food, locally sourced products, healthy options, and all of the unique and niche things you don't find at a conventional grocery store. I've shopped frequently at both the Clinton and Flemington locations over the years and have consistently had great experiences at both. There are tons of options for gluten-free, vegan, vegetarian, and plant-based diets, along with a great selection of snacks, specialty products, supplements, fresh foods, and local goods. Within the last couple of years, I also started ordering more frequently from the café, and I can't believe it took me so long! I'm a huge fan of their wraps. They have gluten-free tortillas and bread. They somehow make wraps with relatively simple ingredients taste unbelievably fresh, flavorful, and savory. I've ordered the same wraps at both Clinton and Flemington and they taste practically identical, which says a lot about how consistent the café is between locations. My personal favorite is the Free Bird on a gluten-free tortilla. It's vegan and gluten-free with tofu salad and a savory mustard, and it blew my expectations away. I also love the sauces and dressings they use in the café. I discovered many (if not all) of them are made in-house and are even available bottled to take home. The house-made vegan honey mustard is especially delicious and worth trying. For drinks at the café, I'm a big fan of the Strawberry Fields protein smoothie and the So Kal juice. I've also done their two-day juice cleanse, which includes 12 fresh juices that you can order ahead and pick up. Whether you have specific dietary restrictions, eat vegan or plant-based, prioritize locally sourced and health-conscious foods, or just like discovering interesting products you won't find everywhere else, it's such a fantastic local resource. And with convenient location (right near downtown Clinton) and convenient hours (8 AM to 8 PM every day), it's an easy place to keep coming back to!

Wonderful selection coupled with a friendly, knowledgeable owners and staff--and it's a perfect combo. Not only is the store absolutely beautiful inside, they have amazing stuff that's fun to browse. I always pop in here for funky hostess gifts or "just because" presents. When I first started going here it was a typical small mom and pop organic type store but in the last year or two I have definitely noticed they've shifted their focus away from food products (probably because Dean's Market opened across the street) and made over the store's interior as well. It's really pretty and this improvement has made the store even better! I really love the huge and well organized selection of crystals. Apart from the unique gift selection, jewelry, crystals, incense, diffusers, books, candles etc, they have a huge selection of the best natural beauty products, vitamins and supplements. Incredible selection of CBD products; and especially go if you are looking for someone to guide you who is completely knowledgable on what cbd stuff will work best for you--you can trust their recommendations!

Seriously though, I tend to ask lot of questions and want to know what people who are trying to sell me stuff use themselves and I always gets a straight answer here!!
