Stopped in to do some work and got a large cold brew. It was great coffee and a nice atmosphere. Friendly staff. The 5$ coffee was on the pricey side however. read more

Delicious espresso, excellent service, cold brew was the right balance of strength and flavor... interior was very nice and it seems they roast their coffee themselves. Espresso had nice crema, sweetness and flavor... definitely well extracted. I was just passing thru but I can't wait to stop by again. This is definitely a godsend for folks looking for a great espresso on vacation by the shore. read more

What a wonderful place. I was delighted to find out about Turnstile from friends who live in Spring Lake. After living in NYC then Seattle, and now the burbs of Philly... This place has some of the best coffee I've had. As someone mentioned below it serves Stumptown and it's nothing like your omnipresent Starbucks. Although both were born in Seattle, Stumptown knows coffee. They know that coffee is quite similar to wine. Each type of bean has a different palette and should not be burnt if you are to truly enjoy it. This is what expresso is for... remember the Italians drink expresso as a shot and don't savor burnt coffee. Anyone who comes to Turnstile and enjoys their coffee knows what I am writing about. My favorite is the Ethiopian coffee with a slight blueberry essence. Delicious. Don't miss out on the cranberry orange muffin! You can sit on the leather sofa and enjoy your coffee and muffin while reading a paper or just hanging out with your friends. read more

Best coffee around! We go every week to to fill up our cold brew jug. Very fresh and strong. read more

I have been going here since this place opened. They spend a lot of attention to detail her, from the decor to the coffee itself. It has a nice neighborhood feel as well. read more

Long, wooden tables for community gathering or intimate two seaters. Relaxing atmosphere. Tried the house blend -- a mixture of Latin and African beans. Strong and also strong. Will have to try the more distinct blends in the future. Apple danish was glorious. A nice place to meet with a relentless suburban energy. Maybe a c as a place to work unless you can get the corner table. I like it like it yes I do. read more

First off, the proprietor of this establishment, Mike, is a consummate host and coffee master. He gladly accompanies you back to his roasting station to explain his trade, where the beans come from, how the roaster works, the appropriate time frame for beans/roasting/grinding for optimal brewing and coffee enjoyment. Top notch, 5 stars. The coffee: my fiancé and I bought two cups of the pour over coffee. Highly recommend. The barista will pour 200 degree water over freshly ground coffee in a cone filter and let it drip into your ready and waiting cup. Excellent. We tried the Kenya and Sumatra coffee options for that day. Kenya was a fruity coffee with hints of caramel and was delightful in terms of taste and aroma when enjoyed black or with a small amount of cream. No sugar as I could appreciate the coffee's natural sweetness without adding anything. The Sumatra was smoky and bold, and my fiancé very much enjoyed it black. As coffee lovers, it doesn't get much better than Turnstile. Lucky for us, my family lives in Belmar, and when we are in from LA, this will be a necessary detour. read more

Excellent coffee and great personality. The lady and I stopped by here after a morning on the beach in between heading to a friend's home in Freehold. After seeing the sign from the light on the corner we decide we must check it out. We home roast our own coffee so the visit became mandatory. Mike was roasting a fresh batch of a Nicaraugran coffee while our order was being prepared. We got to chatting and learned the original roasting machine Mike used was in the corner of the shop. Humble beginnings indeed. I got the Sumatra and the girlfriend coincidentally got an earlier roast of the Nicaraguan Mike was working on. Both were excellent. The Sumatra had an almost chocolate or smoky taste to it while the Nicaraguan was a bit more delicate and lighter. They also carry some brewing equipment in the store which is good to know. I usually travel with my 'coffee travel solution' pack which includes coffee, a small burr grinder, a french press, and sometimes an electric water heater depending on where we're staying. It's good to know they have some supplies in case we forget something or something breaks along the way. Can't wait to head back to Belmar for a good time at the beach and some time at Turnstile. read more

If you are in the area and coffee is important to you be sure to visit the Turnstile Coffee Bar. If you have some time bring your tablet, smart phone, or computer, and stay a while. Family run, great service, and great brew. If you are not in the area, forget Starbucks and Duncan Donuts today. Turnstile is worth the drive. read more

Great lattes and the best flat white you will ever drink!

This place is awesome, highly recommended! I could tell from my first visit here that there is a real sense of community around the place, which was an added bonus because I was sold on the coffee and the atmosphere. All the roasting equip was out in the open, very cool. I'll definitely be back next time I'm in NJ! Check out this great small business instead of Dunkin' Donuts or Starbucks. read more

The ambiance stood out more than the coffee. Nevertheless, a good spot! read more

Very nice cozy place grab a snack and coffee and do work. They keep the place very clean which is a huge plus. Owner and counter people are very friendly! Free WiFi...just ask for the password. read more

This place is a really nice place to sit and chat over a cup of delicious coffee. It's like a really nice version of Starbucks with better coffee and nicer seating. I feel comfortable sitting for an hour sipping coffee and doing work on my iPad. I highly recommend this place for the over 20 crowd. One complaint: Closes at 3:00 pm Please stay open later- I cannot tell you how many times I drive past after three pm and wish this place was open. I need an afternoon coffee also :) read more

What a gem of a place! Ran in with a pal and some great coffee and scones. They let us sit there a long time too. Will be back!

I am so thrilled Belmar finally has a quality coffee shop! This place is just amazing! The coffee is full bodied and besides having beans from Stumptown,they roast their own. Everytime I walk in there I think,"It doesn't get any better than this!" A great way to start your day. You will never be disappointed here. They aim to please and their customer service is European in nature. If I didn't look out the window I would think I was in Brooklyn. read more

Good coffee, yummy treats, nice atmosphere, highhhh prices. Definitely had buyers remorse a few times when they gave me a total.

Great place to grab a cup of coffee and relax or study! They roast their own beans! Much better option than Dunkin Donuts or Starbucks!

Love coffee, so I always wanted to try this place, as opposed to the usual Dunkin/Stabucks runs. Went here on a Friday at 4, and didn't know the place was closed at 3. If a store is closed, PLEASE mark clearly that you are closed and don't have customers coming in and out of the store. It is very confusing! As we walked back to our car, the owner had the nerve to follow us into the parking lot just to tell us we shouldn't be parked in their parking lot as they had just got new paving done. Again, how are we supposed to know that if the parking lot wasn't blocked off?! I don't want coffee that bad that I would drive through the invisible sign that says please do not park in the parking lot!! Despite having great reviews, I will NEVER even try this place. The owner rubbed me the wrong way, and didn't treat me as a customer should be treated. It was completely out of line for him to follow us to our car just to tell us where not to park when we were already leaving. Very unprofessional and discourteous. I am very disappointed. read more

We love Turnstile! What a wonderful place to chill and enjoy the best fresh roasted coffee around! The staff is friendly, the design of the shop is amazing and the tastes and smells just makes you realize how much better quality hand crafted coffee can be! And the Nitro is out of this world! read more

LOVE this place! It's inviting, friendly and serve fantastic coffee. I spent almost two hours here drinking coffee and getting my work done before hitting the beach. Turnstile Coffee is everything you would want and expect in a local cafe. Bonus: They have the poem Desiderata hanging on the wall - one of my all time favorites. A good sign about the culture of this small business gem. I highly recommend stopping in for coffee and one of their delicious scones or muffins. Bring your computer and use their free wifi too! read more

This place is a gem! Best coffee, espresso, cappuccino etc. hands down in NJ. Try it and see what you've been missing.

Great place,great coffee and teas. Owners present,very concerned about your satisfaction.Free wifi,very comfortable and relaxing place.Good place to patronize. read more

I am a coffee lover and connoisseur. That said, I absolutely adore Turnstile Coffee Roasters. Finding an amazing cup of coffee in Monmouth County has become easier over the years. However, Turnstile brings a cross cultural approach to brewing with the Japanese pour over method. When at Turnstile, splurge for the pour over cup. Do not get a drip brewed cup. There's a reason that Starbucks is rolling out the Clover Method. However, Starbucks doesn't have Stumptown, on-premises roasted coffee, or other artisanal roasts. read more

Great ambiance, friendly staff, terrific coffee & baked goods, what else could you want? I don't know everything about coffee but I do know that fresh roasted/fresh ground is always going to taste better. I've had their flavored beverages and their iced coffee (black). The iced coffee is delish, the dark roasted a colombia/ecuador blend and it was incredible! I keep stalking their coffee beans to see when the colombia beans will be back. The baked goods are seriously amazing too. read more

I love this place! I only drink tea and they have a small but decent selection of teas, all pretty good so far. Their iced black tea is nice and strong, but not bitter so it doesn't really need sugar. The atmosphere is great! The only thing I don't love is that they close at 3 pm every day, even in the summer. If they were open afternoons, I would be there every day. read more

Turnstile is the best around. Fantastic coffee, congenial staff and local vibe make it a great place to grab a coffee and run or hang out with your coffee and enjoy a pastry or scone with it. My only complaint is that I'm not in that end of town very often so I don't get to drop my cash there as often as I would. Also a great place to buy some local roast too, Mike can roast like nobody else! read more

This beautiful spacious coffee house has great decor a laid back crowd and free wifi. You can sit as long as you like enjoying superb coffee, working, reading or conversing, whatever. There are clear signs posted indicating you must take all cell calls outside, On the day I was there a guy with 2 laptops open and dressed for business started yelling into his phone, disturbing others and was reminded of the cell policy and signs. He left shortly in a huff to the relief of the rest of the customers! I think the only low reviews are from people who do not respect the community as a Whole. Kuddos to Mike for reminding him! read more

Great coffee, food and service. We have been coming here for 7 + years and have never been disappointed.

First time there. I was so impressed with the production to make my individual coffee I recorded it. So smooth. #turnstilecoffee read more

Love this little shop! I got a cold brew (they had my almond milk and sugar in the raw. I am very picking with my ice coffee! Great atmosphere- relaxing, good place to catch up with a friend or do some work. Great customer service. read more

Local owned and operated. The best coffee in Monmouth County. A great place to read and relax too!

The best coffee I've ever had. Sooo good that you can justify paying the 5 bucks for a latte. I also love the biscottis.

Beautiful establishment, super friendly & knowledgable staff. You can tell that the owner is passionate about what he does and you can taste it in the coffee. read more

Great little independently owned roaster and coffee lounge near Belmar. The staff are always smiling and every time I visit it is a pleasure to do business here. read more

If you appreciate a good cup of coffee, look no further. Coffee is consistently rich, flavorful, and fresh. Their coffee gets me going like no other... at Turnstile, you definitely get what you pay for. Atmosphere in the cafe area is very welcoming, although, I never stay... I just grab a cup to go! read more

Great coffee, some of the best cold brew I've tried. Good service too, could use a better brand of flavor syrup. Granted their coffee is good enough to justify not using it, but some people (like myself) just enjoy it. read more

I'm sorry to hear of the other reviewers bad experience. I have been here twice and the staff and owner have been very friendly. The owner even stopped to make small talk with me. read more

Stopped buy to warm up and get a coffee in between surf heats at the Belmar Pro. They had oat milk awesomeness and I got an oat milk latte and a scone. The latte was poured well smooth and tasty. The coffee has a nice smooth silky taste. Not that dark roast burn like most coffee. Obviously these guys know how to roast coffee as it speaks for itself. The atmosphere is cozy and welcoming and the baristas both were courteous and professional. Would I come back here absolutely and bring my brother who is quite the coffee snob. read more

Poor skills of owner.Told me to get the f*** out of the store.Interrupted my phone conversation. Accused me of shouting.Cashiers were chatting loudly with customers. My phone call was no louder than theirs.Other customers had ringing phones and conversations.Mr.Aybar singled me out. Previous time bearded worker came over saying my youtube film on low volume was too loud.Worst experience ever in a coffee shop.Will never patronize this store again.Coffee is average.No obvious signage for no phones.Owner was putting up laptop for viewing ncaa games which even on mute create some loud responses fro customers/fans.His staff seemed embarrassed at his very misguided outburst.He needs to revisit Portland,Oregon and attend anger management classes! VERY SHITTY OWNER! read more
