The best coffee in the area! Friendly staff and the most amazing espresso crema
The 4.9 makes sense. This place is amazing. Delicious coffee, vegan scone, killer atmosphere. Great job, guys.
Hidden gem, friendly staff and amazing coffee. Try whatever the barista recommends
Have come here a few times based on the reviews. Coffee and atmosphere is great. I have been trying to make it a weekly treat to come by as it is a bit out of the way of my normal commute.
Best Chai latte❤️
Got a cold brew, not too bad. Gentleman behind the counter was nice.
Very warm and cozy spot with excellent coffee. Best coffee shop around.
Great vibe. Delicious coffee! Very friendly owner.
Delicious coffee (and tea options!), cozy atmosphere, vegan pastries and unique non-dairy milk options (macadamia and pistachio), all at super reasonable prices. Trust me, skip Starbucks and support this local coffee shop—you won’t regret it.
Every cup of coffee is perfect here. I love the cardamom syrup and the delicious baked goods that happen to be vegan. Eric is always lovely!
Updating my review! Decided to go back since my friends were wanting coffee and this was the most convenient place for us to stop in the afternoon. Coffee was great, didn’t take long this time at all, and the chocolate chip scone was delicious! ———— Was expecting a lot more from this place given the glowing reviews. The coffee was good but not worth the 25 minutes it took for one latte and a drip coffee when I was the only person in line when I walked in the door. I might have showed up on an off day but won’t be back.
I’m sitting I. This cafe right now~ it’s calm, quiet, and the owner/barista (I’m assuming) was welcoming, greeted us with a great smile~ he seemed like he was having a great day~. Most importantly great cappuccino~ great cookies~ interesting and refreshing soda~ I recommend for coffee lovers looking for a quiet atmosphere
Great place! Love the coffee! Best coffee in Trenton!
Love the atmosphere of this cafe and the owners are extremely knowledgeable about their coffee- I don’t even drink coffee and they were able to make excellent recommendations!! Great vegan food options as well. I could’ve stayed all day, it was so cozy 😊
Cute place, good vibes, excellent coffee. They also sell beans — their signature blend slays, at least in my French press 😎❤️
A treasure cafe for passionate coffee lovers. They are knowledgeable about the brewing process. My pour over was perfect!! Can't wait to go back
This is a place that understands the definition of medium roast and specialty coffee. Even their espresso is medium roast, which is truly hard to find...anywhere. If you aren't an espresso drinker, I still recommend trying a shot of theirs. It will open your eyes to the reality that coffee doesn't have to taste burnt and bitter if you know how to brew it correctly. Their shop is great... Cozy and not pretentious. They have a tiny bit of food... Just enough to satisfy your snack cravings without forcing the staff to neglect the focus on coffee. Sure, the location isn't great... But it's getting better because of places like this.
Good
Great little coffee ☕ house in Trenton. Nice people, good coffee, and a relaxing place to get some work done.
It's probably not accurate to say this was a pleasant "surprise," since One Up One Down was pretty highly reviewed, but nonetheless it was a definite if not unexpected positive. My chum and I came here for a bit of nourishment/caffeine in the early afternoon this past Saturday. She is a resident of Trenton, a few miles north of this location, but was not familiar with this establishment. It was an interesting drive from her house - I had my first sighting of the River Line light rail, which up until then I'd only seen on NJ Transit maps. Exciting stuff. The neighborhood is honestly not the best. This doesn't rise (or sink?) to the level of Baltimore featured in The Wire, or even some of the neighborhoods I've driven through in Paterson, but it's definitely rundown and could use some TLC. Hopefully the emergence of a coffeehouse like this is a step in the right direction. The interior is pleasant and a little spartan. I feel like coffeehouses end up either being very cozy/cluttered with a lot of knick-knacks, or very open, almost like a hipster loft in Williamsburg. This was definitely the latter. I think there was literally a bicycle wheel on the wall, along with some comfortable looking couches/seats to plop down on. I can always get down with a seasonal menu item, so I impulsively opted for the maple latte ($5 I think), along with a slice of vegan pumpkin bread ($3ish). Both were very tasty. I'm super leery about vegan pastries in general - it just seems like by definition all the fun and scrumptiousness is taking out of it when the animals are removed from the equation - but this was probably the best of that genre I've had. Very moist and in a blind taste test I would have had no idea that it was vegan. When we came in, the barista was actually making two of the maple lattes, which seemed like a good omen, and it was. It would have been nice if I had been given some options in terms of milk, etc., but that wasn't a huge deal. You can see in the attached pictur
