Had a medium caramel macchiato so amazing They do need a bit more selection but otherwise perfect spot to have a cup of coffee after dinner . I also had a warm brownie Perfect gowwiness !!! read more

if you want a coffee place that's hip but not HIPSTER, this is the place. there is a location in westfield too... both of which i've been to. it's a wee bit overpriced... $7 or something for a very mediocre grilled cheese... but the coffee drinks are great and i like the general vibe. if you can get a cushy chair it's very relaxing, esp when it's not too busy. this cranford location has a weird guy with a mustache who is always lurking around. someone told me he is the owner? he never speaks though. he always wears a bow tie and will sit there for hours with a coffee and his smokes sitting on the table next to him. their breakfast dishes are awesome so i really like to go late morning/early afternoon for "brunch." read more

I don't even drink coffee let alone go to this place. I drive by it sometimes and see all of the people hanging around giving life to cranford which is sorely needed as cranford has been lacking in that department. Thank you track 5 for your service. read more

I love this place! It's become my second home -- I freelance a lot so I love coming here to work. WiFi is fast all the time and there is tons of seating, but it can fill up fast! Their lattes and cappuccinos are delicious and the food is too! Love the hummus and cucumber on Ezekiel and the black bean burger! Perfect snacks. The staff are always incredible, too! It's in the perfect spot in town across from the clock tower plaza and adds a special something to the town of Cranford. When the weather is nice there's outside seating and it's great to gather with friends! Parking isn't free but luckily the prices aren't too bad and there's a pay station right outside of the front door so you don't have to stray too far to add to your meter if your staying a while! read more

Coffee is 10/10. The atmosphere is very nice. The service is quick for it being packed all the time. Quick with orders and quality is great! They have snacks/breakfast foods to eat with coffee and have healthy options for us vegetarian/vegan peeps! read more

Awesome vibe, love coming here to study or hang out with a friend on weekends. Staff is very friendly. Parking is fairly easy to find in the area. Like their mocha and matcha. read more

I've come here a few times and had their specialty drinks (Nutty Irishman and Pumpkin Latte). Both came with cute designs on the top and were delicious. I am a huge fan of the staff here, who are super friendly and the drinks they make are amazing. The seating is tight but it's comfortable and you can always take the drinks/food outside to enjoy. Definitely one of my favorite coffee spots now. read more

Best coffee in town and their croissants are so worth it!!! Just need to get there early!!!

Delicious breakfast sandwiches and plenty of coffee options available. Delicious coffee right in the center of town. Great spot to get some work done, but get there early- it fills up fast. read more

I love this little place in Cranford. I occasionally do tutoring lessons here and I'll order a hot beverage and/or a sweet to stay. The staff is extremely friendly and very attentive every time I stop in. They are genuinely really nice people. There is a variety of sweets and drinks. There are six small tables with half booth seating half chairs, as well as 4-5 lounge chairs and outdoor seating. You have to pay for parking until 6pm in Cranford so be prepared if you go here - you have to park on the street. read more

Track 5 Coffee - Small coffee and chocolate dipped biscotti :) - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Cranford, New Jersey

I waited patiently outside in line to order a cup of coffee only to be refused service because they only take orders online through their website/app now. I do not own a smartphone, so this would require me to drive all the way home and order on my computer. They will not even consider touching a credit card in person. I know times are tough, but they need to function like other businesses in town are efficiently functioning now. I walked around the block to Starbucks, instead. read more

Best coffee shop I've been to hands down! I had the Van Halen iced latte - it was a perfect blend of vanilla and caramel without adding too much sweetness. The atmosphere was very welcoming. The staff was very personable and I loved that one of the baristas knew my name after it was only the first time being there! I will definitely come back. I highly recommend track 5 to others! read more

Track 5 Coffee - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Cranford, New Jersey

See all

TL;DR: Satisfactory coffee and pastries in charming downtown Cranford. Cozy interior. Lines can be long on weekends. Nothing here will blow your mind, but you would be hard pressed to find bad service or subpar coffee. Give it a shot if you're in Cranford, and enjoy the nice open-air view of the town square. People-watch as you sip a coffee and have a pastry. Tell 'em Groucho sent ya. Been here many times and always left satisfied. Tried several pastries, enjoyed every single one to some degree. One that stood out was the almond croissant. I usually got a plain drip coffee because I'm a boring and cheap man, and was mainly there to experience the ambiance. When I DID venture into more exotic territory, I found the drinks a bit too sweet for my taste. But if you like those sorts of drinks, then you'll like them at Track 5. Everything here is enhanced by the location, which is downtown Cranford - a positively charming and beautiful, quaint downtown. Archetypal north Jersey. The service is solid, and a few employees even got to know me personally as a repeat customer. Not the best coffee joint I've ever patronized, but not the worst either. Prices are standard for a coffee shop. Not pretentious like Boxwood in Westfield. Lots of families with children here. Keep in mind it can get busy on the weekend and you may find yourself waiting in a line going out the door onto the street. If someone asked me to recommend a solid coffee shop in the Cranford - Westfield area, I'd say Track 5. I wouldn't say Boxwood or Rock'n Joe's. G'head. read more

Fantastic coffee and service! I usually get their drip dark roast or a cappuccino and have never been disappointed. The food's great as well! The staff is awesome too! They try to get to know regulars names and are always nice, prompt, and professional!! read more

The smell of amazing coffee will lure you in ! They consistently have an amazing selection of coffees and pastries. Lines move quickly and everyone is very friendly ! read more

If your are looking for a proper coffee spot look no further, in the beautiful town of Crafton Track 5 Coffee has set up their track (see what I did there). I went there for work, the outside is beautiful, outside seating area was packed (good sign), I was greeted with a bright full HELLO, and right away put me in the right mood. Ordered my cafecito and found a community table in the back, the place was buzzing. Overall great experience, definitely recommend it as a office away from your office, or as a coffee date spot. read more

Every drink I've had here is so tasty--I love their matcha green tea lemonade in the summer, chai lattes all winter, and just their basic coffee is delicious too...but the staff really deserves the shout-out here. Everyone works so hard and is so friendly. I love supporting this local business. read more

Updating my review because since the place changed from the original Rockin Joe to Track 5 , we have become regulars! We love the coffee and chai tea lattes , their pastries and sandwiches. The interior is very clean and comfortable too. read more

Lovely ambiance I can see why a lot of people are here. Great coffee as well. I wish the space was bigger though

This place is always packed. My boyfriend and I finally got a chance to try it out. It didn't disappoint. The pastries were good, they weren't too sweet. The coffee was excellent. They were nice and strong. Overall, a great coffee shop. read more

UPDATE 09/04/16 (lost 3 stars): The breakfast sandwiches are now horrible, and as good as the pastries are don't eat any of them because they are surrounded by flies, if you look closely you'll see the flies walking all over the pastries. Simple solution to this problem would be to not leave the front doors open all the time!! At this point the only thing I can recommend from here is the cappuccino. ORIGINAL REVIEW (when it was Rockin' Joe's): The cappuccino is amazing and much cheaper than Starbucks the food was delicious as well. Tried one of the specially drinks I think it was mocha something, it was horrible, but everything else was so good that I don't even care. Place is cozy unless you're sitting in the round tables on the right, it is way too tight and you will bump in to the person next to you if you're not super careful. read more

This is one of my newest favorite coffee shops. The staff are so friendly - all the way through ordering to paying to picking up my beverage. They went out of their way to try and remember my name as when I came back to ask a question they remembered my name. I ordered a cappuccino and it was phenomenal. The barista was knowledgeable about the coffee and was asking me how strong I wanted it to determine the number of shots (either full strength or regular strength). I had to try the macadamia milk and I was pleasantly surprised - it had the flavor of milk with a subtle sweetness (without being too strong like coconut milk in my opinion). I really enjoyed it and it was even crafted with a heart on the top. Highly recommend! Only con is the parking in downtown Cranford is meter parking and sometimes you have to park a little bit of a ways but there is a small number of meter parking in a nearby parking garage. read more

Almond Croissant was delicious. So are all of their coffee and lunch options! Perfect ambience for a relaxing work environment. The baristas were also lovely read more

Cute, trendy spot with great tea/coffee and friendly staff! Located in a great spot in Cranford with lots of other food options nearby. My favorite thing to get here is the chai latte with soy milk. I'm pretty pick about my chai's and Track 5 is one of the few places that makes a good one. They have lots of vegan-friendly milks and snacks too. Only downside is it gets pretty packed on the weekends so it's hard to find a spot if you want to do some work there, but other than that it's a great coffee shop. read more

Whatever I ate was disgusting. This pumpkin thing...probably seasonal anyway. I am very used to paying reasonable prices for things, so I was kinda shocked at the $8 price tag for 2 things. The (lukewarm) vanilla chai I had was good though...and so was the brownie. Would I come here every day? No. Every other day? No. Every 3 weeks? Probably not. Tables are on top of each other so you better not be claustrophobic. Staff was cool and cheerful, made me wanna stay. If I were to bring my laptop here to write a book or screenplay I'm sure I'd rack up a huge bill and leave hungry. But if you're in the area and have a sweet tooth or need a caffeine fix I'd come here at least twice. read more

They have a delicious variety of coffees, all types, hot ,cold , frozen . Lots of good choices to choose from , extremely friendly customer service . It's located in downtown Cranford across from the clock the atmosphere is nice fun hip and trendy, good spot to catch up with a friend, or if u need to open up ur laptop and do some work , also good if ur having a quick coffee work meeting with someone read more

Hands down the best coffee spot around from the staff to the service to the coffee. Thank you so much for making me feel like family everytime I come in the door. read more

Such a cute spot! I am obsessed. In addition to a variety of coffee options, they have so many yummy bakery treats. I ordered a cinnamon roll that had a warm gooey center. There were optimal seating choices, from comfy chairs to tables and a communal table. I love that if you sit and stay, you get a mug. So cozy. Will return to read a book and relax again soon! read more

Absolutely charming, cozy, laptop-friendly coffee spot in downtown Cranford. I've felt equally comfortable doing work here, having a date with a friend (with my daughter playing at our feet), and taking a business colleague here for breakfast. A gem like this needs no further introduction. read more

Best quick coffee experience ever! the staff was so polite & professional & really kept the line moving while still making the customers feel welcomed! i came back twice in one day bc it was so nice! will definitely be back! read more

I've been to the Kendall Park location which is much larger, but I was really digging this cozy, coffee shop. The barista immediately greeted me and gave me a stamp card. When you purchase 9 drinks, you receive a free one. What attracted me to this coffee shop was the free wifi and I also wanted to see where Return to Start filmed some of their coffee shop scenes. I also needed some time to kill before tutoring some students and this was the right spot. I ordered a hot cocoa without whipped cream. It promptly came out with whipped cream, but the hot cocoa was good so I didn't fuss over the mistake. I sat in a comfy share while yelping (!) and surfing the internet. The staff were attentive and checked on me every now and then. There is metered parking right in front of the cafe which is super convenient. I'll definitely be returning to this coffee shop in the future. I wish New Brunswick had more coffee shops with some soul like Rockn' Joe. read more

I like this location better than the one in Caldwell. My friends and I were having our girls' night out and wanted a nice place to relax. We had some great coffees, brownies, and sat outside shooting the breeze. We probably scared some people with the things we were talking about, but hey, it was our night. I loved the way the kids behind the counter (and when you're my age they are indeed kids) made the designs on the top of the lattes. They were friendly, helpful, solicitous and very positive. It's always good to see. I had fun listening to the music. I'd definitely go back. read more

Can't go wrong. It's one our favorite Cranford establishments. The staff is always very friendly and helpful.

Love track five! We get lattes and baked treats! Everyone is so friendly and hapless to help! Love to support a local business.

Great little coffee shop. Great customer service too. Everyone is friendly, and polite. I go almost on a daily basis at this point, nothing but great stuff here. I like a vanilla latte, and the quiche. Comfortable tables, chairs, reading nooks. My only gripe is sometimes the music is loud, and not so good. Other times is good background noise and good playlist. read more

Cute coffee shop in Cranford, NJ - bustling location & adorable surrounding neighborhood and stores - I genuinely loved the atmosphere & how "movie like" it feels around here. Aside from that - the coffee is great. Ive had a latte & red eye & super tasty. Not too pricy but its also not just regular basic coffee so thumbs up from me~ read more

Amazing coffee! Polite service! This place is great! I switched from Starbucks to Track 5. It's that good! This place hires & trains amazing staff! read more

Track5 makes the best earl grey tea latte (or any flavor, for that matter) that I've ever found! The staff is always excited to serve drinks, which makes me excited to order them. The storefront takes advantage of the quiet street in front with outdoor seating and big, open windows. And the indoor seating has the ultimate "pretend to get work done on your laptop" environment. I'm glad I've been able to support them through the pandemic, but I can't wait to get back inside soon and relax with a huge mug of caffeine! read more

Track 5 Coffee - Earl grey tea latte, cappuccino, blueberry scone, and a fourth item which looks to be...egg? - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Cranford, New Jersey

The coffee is good however many times I have to wait about 5 min to get my order, they need to get another coffee machine. Before use to accumulate 10 orders and get a free coffee, not anymore. Bad for the frequent customers. read more
