Coffee here sucked, probably OK to your average coffee person. But youll get a much better cup at hidden grounds on Easton. Espresso here was OK as well, on the Starbucks level. The products here are a 3 star. The ambiance is great with lots of seating. Honestly, more college students should make the walk over here just to relax or study. The reason for 2 stars: because there is a $5 credit card minimum in a place that has an ENORMOUS amount of purchase UNDER $5. This business decision by the management is the reason I will probably return once or twice a year MAYBE. I, like most of the world, only use a credit card. Rarely do I actually have cash. For this reason, Ill take my business down the street to Starbucks. They have better coffee from the clover machine anyway... Message to management: when and if you begin to understand business transactions in the 21st century, feel free to message me and Ill come back and say better things about your place to my friends and family. If your credit card vendor sucks, get direct transaction handling by a bank, its cheaper. About 1.7% For every transaction and no minimum transaction. Im assuming you use a company charging you 3% or so. Theyre stealing your money. Ill be happy to give a 4 stars if the minimum of $5 was removed. It simply makes no sense for a place that thrives on small transactions.

The place is more than a coffee place, it has sandwiches, some smoothies, other things to eat on top of coffee. Considering that most people would Swing in for coffee which usually runs under $5, their absurd policy of $5 minimum on credit cards was an inconvenience, who carries change anymore? The coffee was good if you think Starbucks type is good. I tried their latte and I enjoyed it. The atmosphere/decor is probably what most people would enjoy. To me, it seemed to be better suited for a mall rather than main-st New Brunswick. Service was okay.

Got a breakfast combo that included a small coffee and an egg and cheese sausage English muffin. It was around 5 or 6 dollars. The coffee was really strong, which is good. The egg and cheese was slightly better than a Starbucks egg and cheese... The egg and sausage werent really anything too special. Employees were really nice. The place uses a beeper/pager/buzzer for the food. The place also has really great seating -- from the outside you cant see, but the place is actually really deep and like a long hallway.

Bought a Misugaru (iced, not frapp), the taste was great but the entire cup is filled with ice though so I was not happy to pay 4$ and change for ice with misugaru flavor. I give that 3 stars. Their other fruity drink Peach Berry Mojito was 5 stars and was an actual full cup of flavor. Finally their desserts are simple yet amazing. While their I tried the Strawberry Honey Bread and again 5 stars with very good presentation. The atmosphere of the cafe was perfect.

I dont know why anyone still goes to Starbucks. This is the best chain cafe I have ever been too! The food is exotic and comes out to you looking JUST like the picture and it tastes even better than it looks! Great variety. Whether you just want a coffee, a snack or youre a little hungry and want a sandwhich, caffe bene has it all.

On the pricier side but I dont mind paying $5 for a delicious green tea latte and to sit in a relaxed clean area to crank out some homework assignments. Love the wood theme throughout & they open early and close late. Perfect when the libraries are overcrowded. Free wifi and outlets throughout.

I like the mojitos and they have a biiig selection of desserts...really large sizes though. I used to come here to study and see my friend. But management made it hard for her to leave, which is only reason I gave it 3stars. Sometimes the staff is super friendly. Sometimes its average

service is terrible. Waited at the register for 10 minutes, until someone came. Waiting another 20 minutes for my one order to finish. The person was too busy cleaning something else for the first 10 minutes to do my order. Finally she gave me the wrong order. Terrible service.

awesome spot!! bubble tea is pretty nice, pre packaged stuff is a little expensive so id recommend just dining in for the good stuff-the honey bread is pretty nice, the belgian waffle is SO good. i had mine with the strawberry sorbet and it was amazing.

The restaurant has a really nice interior. The staff is really nice. The drinks are alright, but they could be better. We got some kind of cinnamon drink, and it was loaded with cinnamon; it felt like I was doing the cinnamon challenge

I am a tea and coffee lover. It seems like my day will not be complete if I cant drink a 3 cups of coffee in a day. I found this place and really it is so perfect for my coffee taste. Also the place is so nice and very relaxing.

Good place to meet. Coffee is good. Pretty good decor with comfy chairs and regular dining chairs as well. No one bothers you. Sat and discussed business for two hours. There is a large parking lot a block away.

Generally good coffee and food with an assortment of unique drinks not found in most coffee shops. The only cons bring that it is pricier than other coffee shops and Wi-Fi can get pretty weak in certain areas.

Cool cafe that serves bubble tea alongside traditional cafe offerings, as well as waffle creations and other food. Love that I can actually get a boba drink that isnt full of dairy or sugar.

Great assortment of drinks (I had the taro bubble tea latte) and pastries. The building is a lot bigger than it seems; lots of seating available. Clean on the inside and nice decor.

The chocolate honey toast was surprisingly moist yet with a crunchy crust. It wasnt overly sweet either. Atmosphere is clean and somewhat fitting of a cafe.

The food is delicious (a lot of dessert-y options and bubble tea) and the interior design is gorgeous. Great place to study or chat with a friend!

nice place, but limited menu, and little pricey. Okay for the college kid or the business professional to grab a quick soft drink or snack.

Really great crafted foods and coffee. Expansive but very nice for treating yourself (or going with some friends) once in a while.

One of the best cafes in downtown New Brunswick. But their Internet service is not so good often.
