"Laid-back, cozy, exudes artistic, old-world charm.Local art and vintage touches create a welcoming nook that invites lingering. The almond chocolate croissant arrives warm and crispy, pairing perfectly with an excellent latte. The friendly barista’s quick, effortless service adds to the charm. A place to spend a quiet afternoon lost in a book, feeling right at home."

"A MUST!! This is the sweetest, simple coffee shop with the most lovely staff. They are always so welcoming, will explain their seasonal menu, they allow customization for shakes, coffees and teas. Cafe is easily accessible for those walking, biking or driving by, street parking is always available. Their baked goods are from another local business, I've tried the various muffins (pumpkin, zucchini, blueberry etc) all have been delicious, as well as the oatmeal Raisin and chocolate chip cookies. They also host events in their back room and post local events on their bulletin board, overall a wonderful part of the community. Definitely a local business to support regularly!! 100% recommend"

"Cozy atmosphere, very clean and organized, and of course great coffee. My visit was on a Sunday morning and if I had more time to relax this would be a great place to sit and hang out a bit longer."

"Visiting the area to see some local theatre. Delicious coffee, great vibes, excellent service and just so happens there was live music when I went. I love local, caring businesses like this one."

"1st Cup Coffee is very reasonable & the coffee is delicious in the wonderful town of Atlantic Highlands. You will get great service as well. They have seating to come & relax or grab your coffee & go. 1st Cup has an amazing room in the back that you can rent for a very low cost. I just had an event for my real estate business here & they treated me top notch with great coffee. If you need space for a local event or you are having a speaker, this is the place to be. You can not beat the price. I am planning my next event. Thanks Bob!! My guest loved the event."
