New Jersey boasts an array of delightful coffee spots, from popular chains like Wawa to charming local roasteries and cafes. For those seeking high-end, local options, venues like Tommy's Cafe in Toms River and the upcoming Spire Coffeehouse in the same area offer exceptional brews. Rook Coffee is another highly recommended spot, particularly for beachgoers who might also enjoy Lava Java in Lavallette or Bella's Bagels in Seaside Park, both renowned for their tasty food and coffee. During the pandemic, a standout coffee house named Remedee Coffee emerged in Atlantic City, operating uniquely out of a garage by two sisters, reminiscent of a coffee-themed speakeasy. Unfortunately, Remedee Coffee faced a setback due to issues with their Cottage Food License, resulting in a temporary closure. The owners remain optimistic about reopening soon. For those who might prefer a different vibe, New Jersey also offers a variety of dive bars to explore.
