Riverside Coffee & Tea

Visiting for the holidays, I'm a former resident of Hunterdon County. I appreciate small town and antique vibes. I really wanted to like this place more. The staff was young and moderately friendly but not knowledgeable. Disappointing coffee. Tea selection solid. Overly sugared pastries. Purchased the cinnamon bun (served microwaved, icing to flavor ratio wildly excessive). Also tried the chocolate dipped macaroon, which had way too much dough and was not light or textured. The clientele skewed young (teens and very early twenties). Perhaps due to holiday week? If this is the normal clientele, I would avoid the shop due to a seeming lack of small-space (respectful) sharing awareness. For instance 6 people not ordering anything and sitting on phones at one of only a handful of total tables.

Very comfortable place. Two fireplaces, both alight at the time I was there. Old world feel. Great coffee and scones.

The place is a very nice vintage building with lots of atmosphere of days past. Nice selection of coffees, teas and pastries. Just don'took to closely at your surroundings as the place & windows need a good cleaning. Vintage does not mean dirty.

This place is one of my favorite coffee spots. They have amazing drip coffee as well as a variety of espresso drinks. They also have a wide selection of teas. My personal favorite is either the cherry blossom tea or the dragon green tea. Over all it is a cheap coffee place great for relaxing while getting some work done or gazing at the fall no more the 300 feet away.

One day I went to buy 2 bottles of water for the kids I am taking care of. Unfortunately, I didn't carry enough cash and I didn't have my card with me. Luckily, the owners were really nice and so generous, they gave away us almost a cost of one bottle of water. This is a real professional-friendly costumer service!!!! From that day, I keep coming back to this coffee shop and I have never gotten any bad experience. Drinks are wonderful. The service is cozy but yet professional. Love love love this coffee shop!
