First visit. Drove with brother n law about an hour and was well worth the trip. To me the coffee is first and foremost the most important thing. Upon entering seeing a 9 choice POUR OVER menu and I knew it was going to be good. I got a Peruvian pourover and brother n law got a flavored latte. Both coffees were terrific. The beans are from the pricey Counter Culture Coffee co and were really good. The workers were really friendly and explained the machine style pourover as I watched my coffee being crafted. The place is huge and really nice. Its everything I look for in a specialty coffee shop. They have a nice real food menu and will definitely make my way back. A place like this is exactly why I travel an hour to look for a great coffee spot.
5 well-deserved stars ✅. Today I wanted to try a different coffee shop, so I searched on Maps for a "cozy coffee shop," and this place came up with 4.8 stars—enough, I thought, to at least give it a try. The quality of the coffee, their menu, the service at the counter, the overall friendliness of the staff, including the owner, the immaculate cleanliness, and the decor all combine to make this coffee shop easily one of the best in the area. The place has a unique and very tasteful decor 🪴, with what I would call vintage touches mixed with a clean design where pastel colors and wood predominate—truly a feast for the eyes!. They have utilized the space incredibly well, as there are a significant number of tables without compromising ease of movement; it's ideal for going alone, for business
Milk Crate Coffee is mamash one of Lakewood’s nicest coffee spots — the kind of place that feels like a real menuchas hanefesh in the middle of a hectic day. Whether you’re coming to get work done, meeting someone, or just need to sit down with a coffee and regain your sanity for a few minutes, this place is a total win. First of all, the space and décor are beautiful. It’s modern, warm, and thoughtfully designed, with plenty of seating and a relaxed vibe that immediately puts you at ease. You can tell real thought went into it — not just “put out some tables and chairs,” but creating a place you actually want to be in. And yes… people are not exaggerating: even the bathroom is surprisingly nice. You walk in expecting regular, and suddenly you’re like, “Nu… okay, this is a whole experience
Milk Crate is such a fantastic find. The setting alone is worth a visit—tucked into a beautifully repurposed old motel, it has a cool, relaxed, and totally unique vibe. The coffee was good, and the service was friendly, welcoming, and quick. The real highlight for me was a chocolate pistachio danish. I also love that it’s dog friendly; our pup felt right at home and had a great time too. Great atmosphere, great people, and great coffee—can’t ask for much more than that!
Been wanting to come here since I heard they opened up a location in jersey! I came on a Sunday morning, no other customers were there, so service was super fast. They only have mugs to stay for 12 oz lattes, and I ordered a flat white so the employee asked if I minded if the flat white was in a larger mug. I didn’t mind, except when I got it, it was filled to the top. So definitely not a flats white. We also ordered the ricotta toast and the avocado toast, or sandwich I guess. The avocado plate was a little too homemade looking. And the ricotta toast was super sweet and watery.
