Ara Coffee

Coffee is top notch 5 stars. In house roasting makes for a great tasting brew. Seeing the roaster in the cafe makes for a cool vibe (I haven't seen active roasting of the beans, but that would be a very cool day to go). Pastries are tasty, there's a nice section of croissants (regular, almond, and I think chocolate) and rugalah. Only hesitation is that the service, while super friendly, is usually only one barista so it can get slow when there's a few people in front. Otherwise, perfect coffee spot.

I was visiting a friend in NJ and came across this café. I usually do not post reviews, but the owner of the café was so friendly that I wanted to give him a shout out. Lovely atmosphere and great coffee. I had a latte and my husband had an Americano, which we both loved and gave us the boost of caffeine we needed after a long drive. Wish I was a local, so I could frequent this gem again.

Great coffee! and offers different bubble tea flavors. Def. a must try!.

I am surprised that I did not notice this coffee shop over the last 3 years.

It's not crowded, well lit, an assortment of cakes, and baked goods, and the drinks are made and served by, what appears to be, the Owner/Manager.

I started coming to this place because the coffee is pretty good until I realized that they were making up their own prices and overcharging me. I used to get a double shot of expression over ice and paid close to $4 for it. Never thought about it until I saw the sign outside that said $2.50 for a double shot. So I asked why am I being charged $4 when the sign says $2.50.... they said because i wanted expresso over ice so it’s an Americano.... what 😳.... and when I added cream the owner was like...oh now that’s a macchiato.... I’m clearly done with this place 👎🏼

This cold brew was amazing - I usually add milk and sugar but I had to drink it black. Friendly staff, nice looking pastry selection. And they sell jewelry, too?

I love this place. ❤️ Such a cozy environment, and delicious pastries, drinks, and cakes. They have lots of options

Consistently great coffee, nice owners and open longer hours then most other places. Highly recommended.

Super friendly staff, family business, coldbrew on tap, tasty pastries, macrons, cheesecake, rugalach, mighty leaf tea, you name it! And they roast their own beans, woooot! It's my go-to morning spot before hopping on the train.

I’m just leaving with a cappuccino and hands-down the best coffee I’ve ever had. This is what coffee should taste like—It is so delicious I will absolutely be back, thank you!
