The Yummiest Coffee Roasteries in Newark

Clocktower Coffee Roasting Company

★★★★☆ 3.8 (343) • $

"Visited midweek, and parking was a bit rough with a full lot in the plaza. But the place was awesome and had such a delightful and inviting atmosphere, indoor and outdoor seating, and friendly and attentive staff, with minimal waits on a Thursday. I got the egg muffin melt with sausage, as well as an iced mocha no whip. Both items were delish, the sandwich particularly better than expected, with yummy melted cheese, a savory breakfast sausage patty, and a soft buttery english muffin holding it all together nicely. What's more, I was pleasantly surprised that this cafe consists of a gift shop as well. Yup, they fit more than just tables and seating inside. The display of adorable popup greeting cards stood out to me. But other merchandise for sale included stationery, puzzles, books like aesop's fables, cute gifts for kids like an animal-themed memory match game and activity sets that encourage creativity, and even USB cables. Random, unexpected, and definitely unique."

Capture Coffee

★★★★☆ 3.9 (35)

"Picked up an iced mocha and black coffee for takeout. No waits in the morning during the early hours. Learned that my stomach can't handle the lactose free milk, just weird, but it didn't taste bad. I've been here a couple times now, and I like that they offer a nice variety on the menu, the products made with care."

"Their decaf vanilla nut beans is really good. We only wish they were open on Saturday's at times."

Tico Coffee Roasters

★★★★★ 4.6 (36) • $$

"Is a very high quality coffee. I had drip coffee. Definitely can tell the difference from Peet's, Philz, Voyager, Blue Bottle and Chromatic. On par with Coffee Water Lab and Cocola."

Red Bay Coffee Public Roastery

Boast Coffee

★★★★★ 4.5 (2)

"The team at Boast were working tirelessly at SaaStr, making really good coffee for the attendees with a great attitude. I really appreciate them."

Crema Coffee Roasting

★★★★☆ 3.8 • $$

"First off, the drink here is phenomenal. I fall in love with the autumn harvest macchiato. The bitterness and the sweetness mixed together so well it create a unique aroma and taste. The owner of the coffee is a sweet lady who helps me out choosing a proper drink for my morning. On top of that the ambiance is so cozy and warmth in the morning. It helps enjoy my coffee even more."

Sipbie Caffe

★★★★★ 5 (8)

"Perfect cup of coffee on a Sunday morning. Cheers to morning shots after working out!"

Bicycle Coffee

★★★★★ 4.5 (24) • $$

"Pastries are yummy and the coffee is legit. So Pre-pandemic Bicycle coffee used to have their location across the street from this one and it was chill then too but the vibe was different. This location is a little more refined, with their coffee making practices gotten down to a "T". They're quick and still nice. They're usually pretty busy but the lines move quickly."

Coffee & Water Lab

★★★★☆ 4.3 (647) • $

"Picked up a dark chocolate mocha this morning. Hit the spot!Thank you for my beverage and helping me to start my day off right."

Voltaire Coffee Roasters

★★★★☆ 4.3 (571) • $$

"I can't speak to how good the coffee is however I had the funniest experience asking about their matcha here. I typically make iced matcha lattes at home and have not found a good spot when ordering out.Me: "Hi, what brand of matcha do you use?"Barista: "The organic kind"Me: "What brand? Do you know the name?"Barista: "Yes"Me: "Okay... what is it??"Barista: "We can't share"Me: "Why?"Barista: "Because we want to keep it mysterious to our customers"Me: "Mmm okay, how many grams do you use per drink?"Barista: "We use a scoopful"Me: "Okay, like 1 tsp?"Barista: "I'm not sure, maybe a little more"For those who know matcha, I'll leave it at that. If a store cannot share any detail about their matcha to me it infers it must be of a lower grade or quality. I'd give the matcha latte a 3/10. I asked for extra matcha and oat milk which made it tolerable. It was dull in color with a slight bitter and astringent after taste."

Zocalo Coffeehouse

★★★★☆ 4.1 • $$

"Old school coffeehouse charm. Has little play area for kids. Ordered creme brûlée latte. Not too sweet and just perfect!"

Devout Coffee

★★★★☆ 4.4 • $$

"I had the pleasant surprise and opportunity to enjoy their coffee at their mobil setup at a wedding I attended at the Sikh Temple Gurdwara in Fremont CA. They were quick , explained everything and the coffee was perfection. Honestly I never knew they existed if it weren't for this setup. They were a hit as the lines for the coffee were consistent. I will definitely recommend their mobile services it's unique and it wakes you up also if you partied hard the night before or just need a caffeine fix in the early morning of a wedding or any other occasion function. I will definitely find my self one day at their brick and mortar and try the coffee there and see the difference hopefully it's the same version taste. Try themTips are appreciated"

Great Bear Coffee

★★★★☆ 3.9 (683) • $$

"Super cute & cozy coffee shop in Downtown Los Gatos. Great service, amazing menu (I got the non caffeinated rose & saffron tea), and great seating. Also, their hours are fantastic - always a plus when a coffee shop stays open in the evenings! Street parking may be difficult but you can park at near by lots scattered across Downtown Los Gatos & walk over."

Tierra Mia Coffee

★★★★☆ 4.1 (718) • $$

"A cozy cafe in downtown Oakland.Food/Drinks:- Lavender latte: Good. Brew was decent. Lavender flavor was subtle and not too overpowering. Pleasant combination. Service: Good. There a line to place order and several people waiting for their orders as well. Took about 5-10min to order, and then another 10min to get the coffee. I guess this wait is expected in many good cafes, so don't expect a quick grab and go situation.Ambiance/Vibe: Great. Unique industrial factory decor and structural features. Cafe was busy, yet still a quiet place to have a chat or get some work done.Cost/Value: Good. $5 for medium latte. On par with most other coffee shops."

Sipbie Caffe

★★★★★ 5 (3)

"It was absolutely serendipitous finding Sipbie. We were hoping to have a quiet morning working at Sue's but when we got there, it was packed, loud and hectic. The line for coffee was insane so we decided to head home. Disappointed and in need of caffeine, we stumbled upon a sign for Sipbie. It was too perfect! Not only did we get our coffee fix, but we got to enjoy a nice peaceful morning sitting at the cute patio of The Inn at Saratoga, eat delicious empanadas from Portos and sip espresso."

Motivat Coffee Roasters

★★★★★ 4.5 (67) • $$

"Nice and easy coffee spot in Downtown Oakland. I had never been to downtown Oakland so I didn't know what to expect, but early Friday morning there was plenty of parking around here and the streets were pretty empty.The coffee was good. This is a great place to pick up and go, but there were a few seating outside. There was a guy sipping coffee sitting at one of the tables, taking a leisurely break from walking his handsome boxer dog. It was so picturesque, I wanted to sneak a photo of them with the street and buildings in the background.The staff were very nice, and they treated my kids to some stickers while they sipped on some hot chocolate. The hot drinks were perfect on a cool misty bay area morning. Thank you!"

Proyecto Diaz Coffee

★★★★★ 4.9 (27)

"Do yourself a favor and check out this new fabulous coffee shop. They are super nice the coffee's are amazing! They have breakfast tamales vegetarian as well as meat. The morning I went they also had fruity empanadas and pastries. You will know you have arrived when you spot the art on the building and notice all the cars... no need to worry plenty of space the front patio is where the sunshine is early inside the vibe is super chill AND they still have another patio out back! Lots of art and trinkets to look at and purchase. Seriously this is a coffee shop all coffee shops should aspire to be. Thanks for the amazing morning experience!"

Rasa Caffe

★★★★★ 4.5 (26)

"I had their Chai latte, which was deliciously spicy and rich in flavor. I can't wait to go back and try their coffee, which also looked great. The staff person there was also quite helpful and friendly."

Bicycle Coffee

★★★★☆ 4.2 (40) • $

"Enjoyed a lovely stroll down to try Bicycle Coffee for the first time today on my lunch break. I redeemed a free drink token received from a Bike to Anywhere Day bag. The barista made me a delicious half caff vanilla iced latte and had other recommendations for low caffeine options. Will definitely be back!"

Barefoot Coffee Roasters

★★★★☆ 4.2 (24) • $$

"This review is specifically just for their beans I ordered off their website. Since COVID began, I've been ordering in coffee beans from local roasters every month and Barefoot has become a staple since the summer. My order is usually shipped out within a day or two and arrives fresh quickly. I'm currently drinking their Ethiopian Limu Yachi Kachise brewed with a pour-over and it's straight up divine. Their Guatemalan Santa Isabel is also excellent and has a very unique taste."

1 Oz Coffee

★★★★☆ 4.3 (41) • $

"I'd been to the Tasman Dr location of 1 Oz Coffee and absolutely loved that one, so I was excited to see this new location open. I visited on a Saturday morning, and found it pretty busy. The interior was minimalistic, with pastel green walls and some high-top seating. They also had a (dog-friendly) outdoor seating area in the front. I ordered an Iced Cardamom Rose Latte, Burrata Toast (no prosciutto), and a Pistachio Filled Croissant to-go. Service was lukewarm, but pretty quick. The Iced Cardamom Rose Latte was tasty in a floral way, and had a good amount of caffeine for its small size. The Burrata Toast was also good, although pretty messy to eat. The bread was a thick slice and tasted very healthy, and the burrata was delicious. The Pistachio Filled Croissant wasn't my favorite. I'd tried a Pistachio Berry Croissant at their other location, which rocked my world, and this one just didn't compare. The filling was concentrated at the center and was super sweet, so I either got no filling in a bite or way too much. The texture also just wasn't as good. I also wish their to-go boxes were a little deeper, so they wouldn't smush the item inside. Overall, still a cute coffee shop, but I had a better experience at the Tasman Dr location!"

modern coffee

★★★★☆ 4.4 (150) • $$

"I got a vanilla matcha, pretty tasty. Cafe opens up into an atrium which was a bright and quiet place to work, super perfect for what I needed. The wifi worked well (I didn't realize, but was still here after they closed and the wifi was working) and bathrooms were clean."

Academic Coffee

★★★★★ 4.5 (739) • $$

"I don't know how it took me this long to check out Academic Coffee, but it was worth the wait! I was able to easily find street parking on a Friday (late) morning. The interior was on the smaller side and had fun decor, including a wall mural, framed prints, and their own version of the Duct-Taped Banana "artwork". For drinks, I chose the iced Pandan Latte and my sister got the iced Banana Cream Latte. We also ordered an Everything Bagel Croissant and Maple Old Fashioned Donut to share. Service was friendly and quick, and they had indoor seating available. The Pandan Latte was tasty and had a nice earthy flavor. However, my sister's Banana Cream Latte was even better. I was worried it would be too sweet and not caffeinated enough, but it actually had a great balance - would totally get this next time. Both pastries were also fantastic. The Everything Bagel Croissant had all the flavors of a bagel with the texture of a croissant, and the Maple Old Fashioned Donut was a delicious treat. Overall, a great experience - will definitely return to try more!"

modern coffee

★★★★☆ 4.4 (41) • $$

"It's good, I guess. I mean, the mocha is like, perfect, or whatever. IDK. {April Ludgate voice}Fer real tho, I can actually taste the coffee in their drinks which. . . really shouldn't be a measure of a good coffee but that's where we are now, so. I like the crew. Sometimes I come in and just kinda vibe with them. The energy of a happy crew does a lot for customers, ya know? Whatever modern coffee is doing to keep the folks that work here happy, I promise u, it's paying off."

Crema Coffee Roasting

★★★★☆ 3.5 (247) • $

"Decent sammiches; we had the chicken supreme and the Chipotle chicken. A blueberry crumble cake. Not bad. What was bad, was the coffee. Ordered a double espresso and got what had been a very long quad. Probably shoulda ordered a pourover or something. If you're gonna serve espresso, then serve frickin espresso. The spousal unit asked, "how does a coffee shop stay in business serving this?" I have the same question. A she's not a coffee snob!"

Xbloom

★★★★☆ 4.3 (3)

"If you're a coffee aficionado, definitely come here and ask for Michelle. She helped us out with signing up and getting some freebies. Be sure to ask her about the Mimosa candles!"

Los Gatos Coffee Roasting Company

★★★★☆ 3.9 (466) • $$

"really like this place! It's one of my friend's and my favorite spots to grab coffee and stroll through Los Gatos' beautiful old downtown. The coffee is amazing, and the staff is very friendly. They offer a great variety of coffee options.Yesterday, for the first time, we dined in. I ordered the mushroom quiche, but unfortunately, it was dry and tasted like it had been made a couple of days ago, which was disappointing. Next time, I'll try something else to compare.If you plan to sit inside, keep in mind that the space can be a bit noisy and not the most comfortable for a long stay. However, I'll definitely keep coming back for my regular oat milk or almond milk latte!"

Nirvana Soul Coffee

★★★★★ 4.6 (929) • $

"This place is great! Coffee of course, but also amazing specialty teas (I had the serotonin sunrise which was jasmine tea and peach and raspberry with sparkling water, it was fantastic). They also have waffles. Pastries. Gluten free. Dairy alternatives. The vibe is right. Beyoncé playing, friendly staff, black owned and is black excellence! Lgbtq friendly and fun. I loved it here and plan on coming back when I'm in town."

Voyager Coffee

★★★★☆ 4.3 (6)

"The best coffee and service in town. A friendly and cool vibe - but, it's the coffee that keeps me coming back!"

Palo Alto Cafe

★★★★☆ 3.7 (258) • $

"Best chicken sandwich I've had in probably 4 years! The other reviewers are right to highlight it. I'm lucky that I happened to search for a sandwich while I was in midtown Palo Alto at lunch.I hope they never change this sandwich. It has juicy grilled chicken, nice lettuce & tomatoes, pickle fragments, onion, and some sliced grilled mushrooms!French roll is fresh and easy to bite. Not hard like rolls can be on similar sandwiches.Outstanding.I might try even try their coffee next time haha"

Groovy Goose Coffee

★★★★☆ 4.3 (144) • $

"A cozy cafe offering sandwiches, pastries, coffee, tea, and smoothies. We ended up getting the disco blush smoothie (peaches, raspberries, strawberries, bananas & orange juice), groovy greens smoothie (mango, spinach, kale, banana, spirulina, and apple juice), the sausage egg and cheese biscuit sandwich, and the hustle sandwich (arugula, fig jam, prosciutto on ciabatta). The smoothies were light and refreshing, the hustle was heavy on the fig jam, which overpowered the other flavors but was still delicious, and I absolutely loved the sausage egg and cheese biscuit, as simple as it was, the breakfast treat satisfying and made with tasty ingredients, even the bread itself was better than expected, light and fluffy, and slightly buttery. Service was more than sufficient, and our order was ready in less than 10 minutes. Also, even though there was a farmers market going on around the corner, we had no problem finding free parking nearby on a Sunday morning."

Dana Street Roasting Company

★★★★☆ 4 (622) • $

"Winding your way down on Dana Street. Light in your head and dead on your feet, well it's another beautiful day you'll drink the day away and forget about everything. A true old school coffee shop that keeps it real and you can tell by their menu. Drinks ordered were the Caffe Valencia and Iris Cream latte with one in a mug and the other in a cool looking glass. The Irish drink was simple and flavorful with its cream flavoring. The Valencia was a cappuccino with orange and nutmeg and a well balanced cute cup with both flavors. Atmosphere had chill sleepy town vibes and the service was good. Outside seating available if you like to enjoy your Java alfresco. And that's my take, Peace."

Timeless Coffee

★★★★☆ 4 • $$

"Great staff! Great service! Great coffee!! Truth be told I didn't have their coffee i had their golden milk latte minus the Java! I appreciate that the barista gave me the option because I already had coffee earlier that morning. My friends and I stopped in because they are a Vegan cafe with yummy gluten free treats that she enjoys. I'm no vegan but if your not against it then don't knock it til you try it. I loved the atmosphere bubbling with spunk! Delicious food and good laughs we will be back again soon! Another win for timeless!"

Sanaa Cafe

★★★★★ 4.7 (75)

"I wanted to try the Dubai chocolate, but it was sold out... so instead I tried this pistachio cheese cake and rose cake and it was super duper delicious!!"
