    Gave this place a couple of tries after having gone here when it 1st opened and after it changed owners once (or twice?). (Looks like my previous review was removed.) Anyway, they started out great when they 1st opened under the original owner when it looked like a comfy, cozy coffee house with local bands playing in the corner on weekends. There isn't any of that happening now from what I can tell - it's too crammed with tables packed and not a lot of walking space. I can never get a seat regardless of the time of day I go here, but I don't think I would want to now. Ambiance feels chaotic rather than relaxing. They have the usual items found in a coffee shop. My capuccino is slightly smaller than other coffee shops but good. Avocado toast is decent, although the toast was already cold when handed to me. The chicken sandwich was not bad. It's not a terrible coffee shop if you just want to grab your items and go.

    Their coffee selection is great. They have many flavors for your coffee. I was able to add raspberry flavor to my oat milk latte and honestly, NO REGRETS. This place has plenty of outdoor and indoor seating. It’s unique decor gives this place a chill atmosphere where you don’t mind spending time to do school work. I found staff to be really friendly and they make sure to give their clients the time they need to pick from the menu. They have ice cream, muffins, cookies, croissants, variety of pound cakes, brownies. While we waited in line to order, we were able to glimpse through their selection of magnets and post cards they have on sale and through their cool band posters on their walls. Did you know that a beetles ticket in 1966 cost $5?!! Well I just learned that from one of the band posters at the Coffee House & Cafe. Thank you Coffee House and Cafe for the great service, I can’t wait to be back!

    We had our first breakfast here. We ordered butter croissant, waffle, avacado toast (Texas Toast), strawberry danish and muffins. Everything was very tasty! The staff was very helpful and the place was very clean. Awesome place for breakfast/brunch!

    This coffee shop is truly a hidden gem! I've been living so close to this place and never realized this amazing coffee shop. I'd rather support local businesses, so this is my new go to coffee spot! I had a reg 12 oz cup and I feel wired! Lol I've been here 3x and got coffee. I will be sure up get food next time, it always smells so good!

    I love The Coffee House! Besides great food and nice variety of hot and cold beverages, they often have live music. We sat outside tonight and enjoyed listening to an awesome band (Danny Adlerman and the Just Cause) with our delicious meal! The owners also own the ice cream shop across the street, which has some nice vegan ice cream I must say!

    Great quick stop here in Edison. I needed to get a meeting done over Zoom and this place happened to be open and operating. Seems to be a popular local spot, everyone who came in knew the person working there and he seemed to know everyone. I didn't grab a whole lot, needed to focus but the tea and the chocolate croissant was great. Cool musical feel here and they seem to have a lot to do with the local community. Definitely come by if you get the chance

    Decent food. The hot chocolate was disappointing. It tasted like Hershey's chocolate syrup.

    The staff was friendly and attentive. I love that the coffee house and the ice cream house are right opposite each other and you can bring food from either place to sit down inside if you want.

    I discovered this place by accident one day when searching for brunch and I’m glad that I did. They have a decent selection of coffee along with sandwiches and toasts to pair with. I ordered a few things- avocado toast, grilled chicken sandwich,croissant, mocha latte and oven baked ham. Everything that we ordered was super yum and the coffee was refreshing. The croissant was so soft and crispy that it just melted in my mouth. The sandwiches had that great flavor and everything felt fresh. The avocado toast is to die for and I’d recommend everybody to try that. This coffee establishment was a delightful change from your regulars. My experience ordering from this place was good and I’d really like to dine in at this place sometime in the near future.

    I recently visited this coffee place and was delighted by the impeccable service. The staff's warmth and attentiveness elevated the. The cozy atmosphere, with great old time music posters , made it the perfect spot to unwind. The rich aroma of freshly brewed coffee added the finishing touch. A delightful escape!

    A little disappointing as this is less of a coffee house that feels more like a diner. Not very appetizing when you see muffins wrapped up in plastic wrap, and half empty counter shelves in the late morning. It certainly loses perception of freshness, although the coffee itself was middle of the road fine.

    It was ok, the place is nice; I liked the seating area outside, I love how they have magnets that you can buy from them that have cool quotes and other cool stuff to buy. The coffee was ok.

    I literally just ordered breakfast from here around 9:30am. I’ve ordered from here before & it wasn’t bad but after this i will not order from here again. I’m surprised they even sent the food out like this, the cook should know better. The waffle burnt & black debris in my food. How am I supposed to eat this? A waste of money honesty. The cheese was slapped onto my eggs and wasn’t mixed in at all. Please save your money if you if you want the cook to care about how they present your food.

    The employees are very nice, the coffee is the best, food is delicious. It’s the kind of place that memorizes your orders if you come in enough “would you like your usual?” My favorite items on the menu are the Mediterranean avacado toast and the Baja Grill Cheese. My kids love the corn muffins. This is a great place to come and relax , sit indoors when the weather isn’t great or sit outside when the weather is. They have little games available to play such as checkers, chess and connect 4. You can catch live music on the weekends. Overall a great community coffee shop vibe!

    I've been enjoying my visits to The Coffee House for 6 years now myself and with business clients. I love that they listen to how I prefer my food and the dairy free + gluten free options! The staff is friendly and keeps. the cafe clean, and tidy. I recognize it's hard for small business owners to stay open, and need our support. The amount of support the owners provide our community proves how much they care! Come visit The Coffee House and tip the baristas!

    Been there once on a karaoke night. Had fun. May go there again. Couldn’t figure what to order - most of the stuff I saw on the web was not on the menu at the coffee house. Waiters behind the counter were too busy to give any kinda suggestions. But, I will give it another try.

    The chai latte was amazing, better than Starbucks. Always Happy to support local businesses.

    Stopped for coffee. I loved it so much better than Dunkin. Purchase a grilled chicken sandwich that was pretty good. The employees were friendly. I will stop again.

  • 5/5 Raju T. 4 months ago on Google
    The mocha coffee impresses with its robust coffee profile, where the deep, earthy notes take center stage, subtly complemented by a touch of chocolate. It's a well-balanced blend that caters to coffee enthusiasts who prefer a more pronounced coffee character with a hint of indulgent cocoa.

  • 4/5 Becky M. 4 years ago on Google
    Wanted a quick stop for some coffee and a bite. Definitely worth the roundabout way Google got us there. Our lattes were spot on..just fantastic! Our bagels were fresh and delicious. We got an egg sandwich on the bagel and it was good, but would have been better with cheddar cheese instead of American cheese. Otherwise, this cafe has a hometown rocker vibe that is really cool to be a part of while enjoying your coffee.

  • 5/5 david w. 1 year ago on Google
    They have a large, LARGE variety of beverage options to choose from. Beautiful amenities both indoor and out of doors. I love the old school rock and roll vibe. Staff is very polite. Dirty chai latte and egg salad sandwich were both delicious. Good amount of parking both street side and in their lot.

  • 5/5 Adam B. 2 years ago on Google
    Plenty of room inside and out. Bathroom available. Parking in lot looks like it fills up when crowded but there is street parking too. Yummy coffee and avocado toast. So glad they could make me a plant based / vegan option of both.
