6 Jersey Shore Coffee Spots That Will Make You Forget Starbucks

Here at Jersey Shore InMotion, we love to eat, drink, and shop local. And there is simply nothing better than a local Jersey Shore coffee joint, where the baristas know your order, and the beans are always fresh-ground. Instead of settling for the usual Starbucks or Dunkin Donuts, try one of these 6 local coffees. You’ll have no idea what hit you (well, besides the caffeine kick).


Coffee Corral
At Coffee Corral, all coffees are roasted on site, and each pour-over coffee is ground fresh to order. The baristas pride themselves on crafting distinctive, handcrafted orders for every customer, so your coffee is always getting the TLC it deserves.

Booskerdoo
Not only is Booskerdoo an always-reliable hometown coffee house, but they also sell coffee beans in various retail locations as well as online, so you can brew the good stuff in the comfort of your own home. If you order online, the coffee is roasted the same day they mail it to you. Can’t get fresher than that!

Fair Mountain Coffee

You simply can’t find the social responsibility and eco-friendly practices like those of Fair Mountain Coffee in any of the big coffee chains. Fair mountain supports fair trade, small farm, and co-op coffees to promote sustainability – and they brew a damn good cup of coffee.

Rook Coffee
Okay, everyone on the Jersey Shore has seen the Rook logo in some capacity, whether it’s on a bumper sticker, or a coffee cup. And with their unbeatable service, quality coffee, and convenient text-to-order option, it’s no wonder Rook is so popular.
