Forum Coffee (Raritan)

As a coffee guy (favoring light roast) I was pleasantly surprised by this place. By the name I imagined it would be more ‘traditional’ European dark roast, but their beans have notes other than just chocolate which was nice. I only got a decaf espresso, and an Americano. Both were nicely dialed shots, balanced and smooth, more developed beans but not DARK. Medium-dark, but not Starbucks char thankfully. My decaf spro actually had nice sweetness and the honey and apple notes were coming through. The Americano I asked for less water and they put it in a slightly shorter cup than their small (which I highly recommend) and it was very nice and drinkable black. Touch of roastiness but nice!

This coffee shop has so much potential. The space itself is beautiful — clean, open, and very inviting visually. As a coffee guy, I have to say my latte was very well-made and genuinely tasty. You can tell care goes into the craft. I also picked up a pound of coffee and I’m really looking forward to trying it at home. That said, the atmosphere felt a little empty. Even though it was a rainy day, there wasn’t any music playing and the space felt very quiet. While the design is welcoming, the overall vibe didn’t quite entice me to stay and enjoy my drink — I found myself just picking up my order and heading out. With a little more energy or ambiance, this place could really be something special. I’m excited to come back and see it grow.

A cute new coffee shop in town with some of the best coffee options. They have so many delicious specialty lattes to choose from, plus tasty pastries to go with them. Perfect spot to stop in and hang for a bit or just grab and go. Pictured: the French Toast Latte and the Everything Croissant stuffed with cream cheese (highly recommend getting it heated!).

Forum Coffee has a really cool retro vibe that makes it a fun spot to check out. I tried the French Toast latte, which was okay, and the shaken espresso was just okay as well. The service was a bit slow, but it seemed like they’re still training and getting into the flow, so I’m sure it will improve. Overall, a nice place to hang out, but the drinks could use a little more flavor.

Super dope cozy coffee shop. The owner is passionate from the soul for his coffee. Ingredients locally sourced super organic. Amazing energy in this new coffee shop. The decor is very speak easy new york ✨️ I ordered a solid cappucino. Delicious strong just perfect.
