Rock ‘N' Joe of Millburn

I am a huge fan of the rock n joe in Caldwell. Loved the fact that I can stop in millburn for coffee on my way to a work event, seeing that rock n joe is on my way was a no brainer, so I thought. Place looks almost the same, though the pastry is not as fresh.The one thing that got me a bit disappointed is that they pre-grind the coffee beans into a big bucket. I understand the idea of speed and everything but coffee loses its good quality pretty quickly after grind, especially if left open to air like that. I set there for about 10-15 minutes, not enough people walked in to justify this. I asked about it, the guy didn’t even understand what I’m asking about.That stark difference between the two places… i wonder why.

The waffle is great. It’s almost like a glazed donut of some sort with a little crunchy. I don’t know what it is but it’s amazing. An okay little coffee shop. The super fruit smoothie was good. The kale and spinach omelet was okay. A little on the pricey side in my opinion. 30 bucks? Place could use a little cleaning. Crumbs over the table. Could also use some heat. It’s freezing. Wouldn’t go out of my way to come here. But if you’re in the area for a quick grab. It’s okay.

I think the reason that this place has high reviews is because they have a cute rock theme going with lots of place to sit down and hang out. They also have an automated ordering system that’s pretty convenient. The coffee tastes worse than burnt Starbucks coffee though. I don’t think a place should have close to 5 stars if they’re meant to be a coffee shop but have bad tasting coffee.

Sub-par coffee shop that offers dine-in tables/couch seating area with food options. Coffee was not strong and the cold brew was not it. It’s reminiscent of truck stop coffee with old/burnt beans. There’s a good assortment of baked goods, but they are individually packaged which questions their freshness.The sitting area is somewhat ample, but the couches were all torn up. TLC recommended not only for the furniture, but for the beans being used in the brew.

Solid little shop for coffee or all day breakfast/lunch menu. The portions aren't giant like IHOP so expect to be somewhat healthier. Panini was good but I forgot how badly toast messes with my top palate. Still, tasty and a good quick bite open early enough (8am we stopped in on a weekday). Avocado toast was on the smaller side, but fresh.

Cute local place with nice staff, however, they are using the wrong type of matcha or just a low quality. The color is very wrong and the flavor is nonexistent. Traditional and high quality matcha should be a green, and relatively bright, even with milk and it should have a pretty strong taste. I’ve noticed this in a lot of the local north jersey coffee shops. Additionally, it’s typically not made correctly with a bamboo whisk, which makes a big difference. If you’re going to include matcha on your menu please do some research and do it correctly.I went back and the barista added more matcha. He was very nice. It seems the matcha they use is a commercialized “drink” matcha (low quality, banking on a trend). Still not great, and now clumpy, but I do appreciate the effort.

This place is FILTHY!!! Tables, chairs and floors are filthy upon opening!They serve slimy, wilted and rotten salad greens with dirty pears with the labels still attached!The pastries are old and poorly contained!The chairs are beyond filthy and beaten, as these photos depict!Servers handle cash and then without gloves or washing of hands go on to handling food and drink.One of the employees who open in the morning sweeps and then moves on to making coffee without washing his hands!AND, the same guy has opened the store late each time I've gone at restaurant opening time.One time he was late by over 20 minutes, so I hate to wait for the coffee to be brewed!Ants, flies and other flying insects crawl and fly all over the tables, chairs and floors and the bathroom is DISGUSTINGLY FILTHY!!!The Dept. Of Health should be summoned!I hope this is not representative of Millburn and it's residents.How can anyone who values cleansliness feel comfortable in a place that resembles a filthy alley?

I love love their buy one, get one free (coffee and/or dessert) happy hour special on weekdays! Chocolate croissants are great and coffee is even better! Staff is amazing and it's super cute and cozy inside.

Avoid this place. The coffee in this shop is so bad that, for this price, it’s an insult to their customers.The espresso is watered down. No body, no crema, no flavor. They don’t know how to pull a proper shot.The americano was, naturally, even more watered down and flavorless.And on top of that everything is overpriced. $3 for a bottle of water is a bit much. I understand that the rents are high in Millburn, but the quality is too far below the prices. You’re better off at Starbucks.

It's was great seeing local Congressman, Tom Malinowski, show up for a small town hall meeting. This is my favorite Cafe in Millburn. Make sure you chat with owner, Jay, and manager, Matt.

I am obsessed with their chai latte, it’s a very clean friendly and relaxed environment. I have tried the tuna melt and their breakfast sandwich, both were very tasty. Staff is friendly as well 👍🏼

It’s good. Prices are high and workers slow even when they’re not busy, suburban area, so I get it. Food okay but the price don’t match the quality. It’s good you can basically make yourself. They really don’t move with urgency.

Would not order from here again. we ordered a Taylor ham and cheese sandwich and very deceiving description. The ham was regular ham; not Taylor ham nor pork roll. If you are going to put that on a description, then actually sell it. They also barely had much on the bagel for the price, as I have gotten a lot more at other places from the same price. The Lox bagel tasted very low quality, and it looked nothing like the picture. The picture shows alot more than what you actually get on the bagel, and has chopped onion which should be sliced for a sandwich. The only food that was good was the yogurt, and their Frappuccino’s as I had them before in the past. Extremely disappointed and will not come back.

Seeing the great ratings and reviews here, I always wanted to eat at this place. We finally dined in here today and it was soooo disappointing.The food is really expensive considering the taste, presentation and portion size. I ordered a veggie omelette and Belgian waffles. Pretty simple right! But guess what, the omelette was too mediocre and bland.Looked like no efforts were made to make it taste nice (I bet your homemade omelette cooked in half sleep would taste better). The service is very poor too. Once you sit there, you are on your own. The staff wouldn’t bother to check how are you doing and hows your food etc.Food at local diners taste much better. Please don’t waste your money as the food is totally not worth the taste and portion size is miserable too.Not you forget - The washroom was quite untidy (literally a mess)

Great local coffee shop, excellent vibe, super friendly service and great coffee. Over the years, I’ve tried various breakfast and a some of lunch options. The food has always been good, although I really go there for ambience, coffee and service.

Whoever was working today at 11:30am on Tuesday at Rock & Joe did not do a great job with my order. I ordered a Smoked Salmon with Cream Cheese and no Cucumber. And he gave me a small amount of smoked salmon barely on my toast and put a cucumber which I asked him not to put cucumber. There was a bit too much seasoning. I actually like it when the owner is here cause he does a great job with the orders and gives a good amount with my orders. I don't think I am gonna order again if I see that same employee that messed up my order. I did not get the same amount as I usually order from the owner. Thank you!
