New Jersey offers an array of fantastic coffee options, ranging from popular chains like Wawa to local roasteries and unique coffeehouses. For those seeking a more boutique experience, Tommy's Cafe and the soon-to-open Spire Coffeehouse in Toms River are excellent choices. Rook Coffee comes highly recommended, and beachgoers should not miss Lava Java in Lavallette or Bella's Bagels in Seaside Park for great coffee and food. During the pandemic, a standout coffee house called Remedee Coffee emerged in Atlantic City, run by two sisters out of a garage. This speakeasy-style coffee shop quickly became a local favorite. Unfortunately, Remedee Coffee faced a setback when it had to close for the summer due to an issue with its Cottage Food License, which permits selling food and beverages from home. Despite this, the owners assure that this closure is temporary, and they plan to reopen soon. Whether you're into gourmet lattes or prefer dive bars, New Jersey has something to satisfy every palate.
