Any guesses?!

With several locations throughout Monmouth and Ocean Counties including Holmdel, Red Bank, Little Silver, Long Branch, Freehold, Wall, Point Pleasant, and Colts Neck, ROOK was voted the BEST place for coffee at the Jersey Shore.

For us, attention to detail is everything. So every cup begins with the highest quality, specialty-grade coffees, hand-selected and meticulously roasted for a consistent brew every time.

This Sunday, in honor of National Coffee Day, many local shops across Monmouth and Ocean Counties will have special deals and promotions.

It’s a perfect excuse to explore new places or enjoy your favorites while saving a little cash!

When it comes to food, New Jersey is known for many things such as pizza and pork roll. Don't count us out when it comes to coffee.

With all the hustle and bustle involved in the average New Jersey resident's day, coffee is essential. It doesn't matter whether you're living in the cities of North Jersey or the vacation spots at the shore.

In fact, as the former owner of two Jersey shore coffee houses, Coffee Dot Comedy in Sea Isle City and the Daily Grind in Ocean Grove, I know firsthand how much people at the Jersey shore love their coffee.

With respect to that, I asked my social media following where the best coffee houses at the Jersey Shore were, especially since my two places no longer exist.

Below is what they came up with. (And see this other article for their coffee shop and cafe recommendations for Central Jersey.)
