Due-Back

Located in the beautiful Island Heights area, this local coffee spot is one of my all-time favorites! I usually get the same hot roast every time, but there are a variety of different coffee / non coffee options as well as a great selection of yummy baked goods!
During my most recent visit I even bought some Due-Back themed merch!! The owner and staff are extremely friendly and helpful as well! As I am a regular, I'll surely be returning.

It's rare when I see a small business on Instagram in the early morning that I get SO excited about that I race there maybe an hour after they open, but Due-Back was absolutely love at first sight.

There are large coffee chains that pay millions to try and recreate the authentic charm and aesthetic that Due-Back achieves through just being themselves. Everything is hand crafted from the blended hot and cold beverages straight down to their branded merchandise (go check out the hand sewn beach hats!). Even the decor is made or hand painted by one of the owners.

But they're not all flash and no bang; the coffee is fantastic. I looked at the menu before I went and knew that I'd be ordering the "Dirty Chia Latte" ( dirty because they add a shot of espresso) but what I wasn't expecting was that I could get it iced!

Check their winter hours and go bask in their caffeinated awesomeness now before the nice weather hits, as the main drag in Island Heights does get busy.

I got the teddy bear cold brew and an espresso shot. Easily the best coffee I have ever had in my life! Thank you! I will absolutely be back!

Due-Back is awesome. Its nice having a small shop of any kind in Island Heights so we don't have to journey into the big city (Toms River) and deal with all the city slickers (Toms River residents). Even better that its a cafe with good coffee and a cool theme.

Wow…I received a sample of the Lorimer blend from my co-worker Bill Miele and the berry, and chocolate notes make this coffee taste amazing. Due-back coffee is legit and better tasting than some Starbucks blends that I’ve tried with similar notes. Definitely would purchase this product and would recommend for any coffee drinker.

Just tried one of their winter specials “cinnamon bun latte” and it was AMAZING. One of the best coffee shops around! Also staff was very nice and helpful. I will definitely be back!

The best shop ever! You will always find something delicious here! Due-Back is my go to shop on the weekends! The staff here is always so friendly and welcoming! I recently had their butterbeer and it is wonderful for any Harry Potter fans!

Great drink options and great people. Highly recommend for a nice enjoyable time near the boardwalk. Invite your friends, family, and coworkers next time you go!

Amazing coffee, amazing Atmosphere, even better owners!! The best stop on the way to the water!!

Amazing new spot with more to offer than just coffee. Locally owned and operated by a passionate owner that puts 110% into every cup brewed. If the various assortments of delicious goods didn’t have you Due Back for more, the excellent ownership and retro vibes certainly will. And to top it all off, it’s located in the perfect area to relax on the water or walk the boardwalk. Skip the typical coffee chains and come enjoy a homegrown experience with real character and charm.
