First Date Coffee Shop

Love this cute lil coffee shop! It is exactly what TR needed! The aesthetic is perfection , down to the pink heart straws omggg I was obsessed ! & The drinks were delicious. So good, that my husband downed a 3rd of his latte before I could even take a cute shot LOL The main reason we will definitely be coming back here is that the energy was so warm and welcoming from the ladies taking care of us. They were very sweet and friendly! All around amazing vibes 10 out of 10 experience

Love coming here! My favorite coffee shop. The owner is so friendly and inviting. Coffee is always yummy and most importantly always consistent! Love the iced lattes with handmade cold foam. Lots of flavors to choose from!

First Date has been such a delightful addition to downtown Toms River. I’ve been there a few times already, with my first visit being their soft open during one of the towns street fairs. I asked the owner if they have dairy free options, explaining I have a dairy and wheat allergy. She went inside to double check the ingredients for one of the items, which was very helpful and reassuring. I love that energy drinks, dirty sodas, and coffee drinks are offered. The drinks offered change seasonally (with staple cafe drinks offered as well) and the owner is very quick to tell me what changes can be made to the drinks to accommodate my food restrictions. Every drink I’ve had has been great and I love that they have a rewards program for customers. First Date is a great, family owned coffee shop

As a Toms River local, I cannot tell you how excited I was about the opening of First Date Coffee Shop. The vibes, gorgeous ambience, and delicious drinks made my visit worth it. I will definitely return with my young kiddos so they can also enjoy yummy treats and fun drinks! Kind owners who care deeply about making your experience the right one. I highly recommend! My chai latte was delicious!

My fiancé and I stopped by First Date Coffee Shop one weekend in downtown Toms River after seeing a long line outside — we figured it must be worth it if so many people were waiting. Unfortunately, it was one of the most disappointing coffee experiences we’ve ever had. When we walked in, the shop looked cute and had nice vibes, but that was about the only good part.

By the time it was our turn, she oddly took our order along w
