My favorite coffee in New Jersey. If you're in High Bridge, NJ you must get coffee, tea, and/or treat from here!

Very disappointing! Not impressed with the “grab and go” food idea - who knows how long the food’s been in the cooler. I happen to like my food freshly-made. Call me picky 🤷🏼‍♀️. There’s no indication of “no table service” so I sat for a few minutes only to get up and inquire about it. Guess one has to be a LOCAL to know the scoop. When asked if I could have the oatmeal, I was abruptly informed that it’s served on the weekend, only 🤦🏻‍♀️. I found the staff to be curt and unprofessional. I wound up walking out because of how I was treated. In addition, it’s difficult to find parking in the area; when you do, make sure you turn your side view mirror in toward your car or you’re guaranteed to lose it! They should feel fortunate I gave them 2 stars at this point. Will not be returning.

Friendly staff and nice atmosphere, it's the local coffee shop in town. Edit - I've been going back with my son often enough to get a better sense of the place. Worth the full 5 stars, one of my favorite spots to go when I can get out.

This is such a gem of a place!! The decor and ambiance is so pretty, such a great vibe, like a more authentic and beautiful local alternative to Starbucks. they sell some really cute items to peruse and they have the most delicious gluten free banana nut muffin! The girl serving us was so sweet and a pleasure to chat with

Super cute! The coffee was a bit "bright", but I love their teas, lemonade and fancy toast they have on weekends. I've been back here a bunch of times and really love it!

Super cute coffee shop, nice to see a woman owned/LGBTQ friendly/young people friendly small business in High Bridge! Hopefully more businesses like this come into downtown :) They have great coffee plus a bunch of cool stuff for sale like vinyl records, High Bridge/Columbia Trail merch, mugs, and more. My one piece of advice to the owners...make a shirt/sweatshirt that has the Scout coffee logo, but also says "High Bridge, New Jersey" and "est. 2016" or whenever it was founded. I bet you'd sell a lot.

Perfect fuel stop mid way through 100 miles of mixed terrain cycling. Vegan sesame ginger peanut noodles were awesome and so was the lavender poppy cookie washed down with a cold brew.

Great coffee, tasty treats, and fun merchandise. Great selection of cards for all occasions, and cool treasures you didn't know you needed.

Amazing nitro cold brew. Nice crisp bite to it but not bitter. Best with a bit of ice thrown in and served black. I got mine with oat milk (I think they use the barista blend) which kind of ruined the flavor. I’d recommend no milk! Got a burrito here two which was also delicious. The coffee shop itself is super cute and the parlor has immaculate vibes. Good place to work but the wifi is a bit slow so only come if you don’t need to do too many high-bandwidth activities on your laptop. Baristas are also very welcoming and nice.

Friendly service, enjoyable coffee. Seems like a very local business which I like to support. Small area for local gifts as well. Highly recommended if you're in the area!

I was just made a perfect Cortado with oat milk. Not an easy feat. Vegan burrito was delicious! Had a lot more flavor than typical for vegan burritos I’ve had. Very nice vibe and exceptionally pleasant people. PS: Great place for our Shiba to relax outside after Columbia Trail hike!

I was disappointed with the portion size of the oats. It seemed like there was only 3/4 cup of food in the bowl. I would have been ok with paying 10$ for a full bowl rather than 8$ for barely a cup. Coffee was strong. Good breakfast food options and cute store

They are now mandating that you have to where a mask to go. Unfortunately i will not be going any more. I had really liked going with my family and friends. ***update*** They have removed the mask mandate but now have a mask recommended sign that needs to go.
