Grover's Mill Coffee Company Reviews

The first time I came to this place I loved it! Excellent croissant and good cappuccino. So I decided to come back. The second time was terrible. I waited 20 minutes for a stale croissant and a disappointing cappuccino. I came back again and opted for the Windsor breakfast and a cappuccino, hoping the previous time was a mistake. The lady at the counter asked me if it was for here or to go and, even if I said that it was for here, she made my cappuccino in a small paper cup. It looks like a cappuccino from a vending machine, and it is tasteless. Windsor breakfast was good. I love the vibe of this place but something needs to improve.

Super charming place for great coffee and treats! If you love a good cup of coffee, run don't walk to Grover's Mill Coffee. And they have a great selection of yummy treats to go along with that steaming cup. The staff was friendly and helpful. I heard they have open mike nights here. Sounds like a fun way to spend an evening. I'll be checking that out in the future and will definitely be going back for exceptional coffee and service!

The barista working the morning shift on Sunday March 24th completely turned me off to this place. When I was relaying my order to him, he was barely listening and being extremely rude. I felt as though I was doing a disservice to him by ordering food and cofee. The reason I gave 3 stars is because of the coffee and the cook. He was very nice and good at his job.

I love small locally owned coffee shops like this one. I had Pop's Roast, which is a wonderful dark roast coffee. The folks in the shop were super friendly. If you are in the area, make sure you stop in for a cup and a pastry, you will love it.

Great little spot for a latte! I LOVE this place! Great people, cool vibe, live music, and the best damn cup of joe in the area! One of the last old school coffee shops where you can actually smell the coffee. Will frequent every time I am in the area.

My experience at Grovers Mill Coffee House was excellent the staff are friendly and professional service is quick and the atmosphere is comforting and unique. I love the Grovers Mill Coffee too.

Nice neighborhood coffee shop. Staff is friendly and the coffee is tasty. Wish they had more healthy low-fat snack options and that the prices were a little less expensive.

Currently only taking window orders, but the staff are still extremely accommodating and service is fast and food is delicious. Great place to pick up some rare exotic beans.

The coffee here is excellent and I have my best study sessions here.

Good service and great food. Plus the spiced chai is one of the best I've ever had.

I love this place because they love coffee and roasting it like an artist loves their paint.

Nice little family owned coffee shop with a variety of brews. Cordial service. Prices are at or above average market prices for similar coffees.

Lovely quaint spot with delicious coffee, food, and courteous service. Best chocolate gelato ever!

Good coffee shop...I go there often...and the owner is not the South Brunswick Mayor as someone has stated in a previous review..

Friendly staff! Great fresh coffee that is ground on premises! Great atmosphere. great food!

Please support me and do not buy coffee or anything here. The owner is the Mayor of South Brunswick and not ethical.

The best coffee shop in central NJ - family run - fantastic coffee and food.

The only place where you buy a coffee and it actually tastes like coffee! great job guys that pumpkin brownie was amazing as well.

I finally made my first visit To Grover's Mill, motivated largely because after a decade of living in Greenwhich Village and working in Chelsea in NYC I've been spoiled by the likes of Blue Bottle Coffee, 9th Street Espresso & the more recently imported Stumptown Roasters, and was looking for a comparable offering here in the 'burbs. Unfortunately their Nitro Iced was kicked at 8am on a Monday morning which seemed like a major miss for a coffee house, aren't we all most in need of our hit first thing Monday AM? I opted for the traditional iced coffee and it was good, not great. It had the smooth finish of a properly cold brewed coffee but the complexity of a great roast was missing. I was also eagerly looking forward to the "great pastries/treats" mentioned in other's reviews, and as a bit of a scone connoisseur I was disappointed in the blueberry scone that was dense and doughy rather than the light and airy texture signature of a true scone. All in all, I would still pick Grover's over the chains every day of the week and look forward to sampling their espresso drinks for a more complete experience of their offerings.

All these coffees are roasted fresh almost every day, and there are a lot of breakfast and lunch options. Very good place to spend some down time since there's usually live music on the weekends too.

I'm not sure who keeps saying the owner of the coffee shop is the mayor, but this isn't even true. Don't know why this person still says so.

This is an awesome Coffee Spot that has an open mic night every Thursday night.

Staff here is racist and has a bad attitude! Walked out without even ordering.

Grover's Mill is an excellent roaster even by Seattle standards. Their artistic blends and single source whole bean offerings have always satisfied. I am particularly fond of their "Rocket Fuel" blend but when that is unavailable I have been consistently pleased trying something new.

In store purchase is currently closed due to the pandemic but they have pleasant social distant seating that is sheltered if you wish to partake onsite. Service at the window counter is fast and contact free.

Great coffee. Nice eats. Cool place to sit. Friendly staff

Wonderful coffee, delicious treats, and great atmosphere! Definitely recommend.

Coffee is great...staff is mannerly and very friendly to all. I go here frequently, and feel happier after being here!
Love this place!

My normal roaster was taking a long time to ship my coffee order, so I went to Grover's Mill. I'm definitely going to be going here more often, especially because I can just go there and get coffee instead of waiting 4 days for a package. They have roasts ready, and they will grind it for you if you don't have a grinder like me. I got the Tanzanian single origin, would 500% recommend.

Love this geeky little spot. It is so cozy. Best coffee shop experience in NJ

Best place to have coffee! Great people, great quality!

Fantastic Italian Roast! Wonderfully warm and friendly staff. Pop gives lollipops to my kids whenever he sees us. I go there whenever I need coffee beans, or just to get away for a bit. The gelato and baked goods are top notch.

I drove 10 min out of the way to get a real latte and wasn t disappointed! Great local shop!

Great coffee shop. Prices are comparable to Starbucks. It's a nice spot though.

Most importantly, they have great coffee. There are several varieties to choose from daily, and you can purchase beans to take home. The shop is unique and cozy inside. They also offer a variety of food items, mainly pastries.

I just got my first iced coffee here, and they use coffee ice cubes! The ice melts. But doesn't water down your drink. Fantastic.

I fully support small business, BUT anyone that likes to breathe oxygen outdoors, I suggest you boycott this establishment. My business was denied while ordering outdoors because I did not wear a mask. The employee was inside the building behind a glass wall wearing a mask and refused to service me. Requiring a mask for outdoor service is absolutely absurd.

My boyfriend and I stopped in this afternoon to pick up some whole bean coffee for our new drip and bean grinder to try out. The staff was very friendly and welcoming especially the sweet older gentleman who was there and the barista who helped to ring us out. It was really nice to feel comfortable and not rushed to make a decision/purchase. We had a really great experience and plan on returning to buy our coffee beans from grovers mill 100% of the time. Thanks a lot from two avid coffee fans! P.s. your beans made for the best home brewed coffee I've ever had!

This place is a hidden gem! Very clean atmosphere and the lattes are so good.

This place was busy, so people must enjoy it. If you're looking for good espresso though, don't bother! The shots were being pulled through the same grounds multiple times.

Pretty nice coffee house. They have a wide selection of drinks.

Great coffee and great service. Good place to get work done but limited seating

Our go-to place for coffee and breakfast when we're in the Princeton area. Delicious coffee drinks and breakfast sandwiches.

Chill little coffee spot in Plainsboro Township serves iced coffee with coffee ice cubes. Roasted in house and has some store front seating as well.

Coffee roasting while listening to live music and drinking an awesome cup of Sumatra.

Great people and the best coffee and snacks around. The also support live music. Go for a visit, you won't be disappointed!!

Incredibly friendly staff and a great cup of coffee. They even made my iced americano with frozen coffee for the ice cubes!

I really like this place. The coffee was good and not bitter considering I have to drink decaf now. The ladies behind the counter were very friendly. Cool atmosphere. The woman who made my son's PB&J cut it into quarters; so considerate! Comfortable and welcoming; I'm glad it's close by

Love this place, super quirky with all the alien memorabilia. Couldn't see the fancy drink menu during covid but cappuccino was still available and delicious!

My first stop whenever I am "home" is Grover's Mill. It is far and away the best coffee you could find. Their attention to detail in every single aspect of their shop (including coffee ICE CUBES in their iced coffee to make sure it's doesn't become watered down as you drink it!) is incredible. I primarily live in Manhattan, where there are at least 4-5 coffee shops in every two-block radius, every day I wish I could have just ONE of them be Grover's Mill. It's also not just the exceptional coffee (and food) that they offer- the family that runs the business is honestly the best part of the experience. They are so kind and communicative and even always remember me! It is so obvious that they absolutely love what they do. This is a MUST for anyone in the area!

Breakfast special, not so special. (In my opinion, anyway.)

Best coffee ever. Never once been disappointed. If you want a great coffee this where you want to go. Can't tell you about the food because I mainly come for coffee. It worth going out of your way.

This is a good spot! They have really good soup's & sandwiches etc....

Nice little coffee shop. Pleasant stop after a few hours of riding.

slightly underwhelming tbh. friendly staff, inconsistent product. alien theme is overdone.

Always a great time at Grover's Mill Coffee and Tea!

Anyone who's been to this shop knows it's the best coffee served by the best people. Such a warm, welcoming, and accepting place. You'll be glad you went in.

This is my favorite coffee shop in all of NJ! Great coffee and food. The owners and staff have fostered a wonderful and supportive music and art scene.

Paper straws are a huge plus! Lovely atmosphere and caring family run cafe. Breakfast sandwiches taste like home

What a great coffee shop! Staff is very attentive, friendly and make a great iced vanilla latte! This is the first coffee shop I have been to that freezes coffee into ice cubes so that the drink isn't diluted - LOVE! My iced latte was also served with a paper straw and the drink itself was top shelf. I would. They provide free Wifi and there are ample places to sit inside and outside. Highly recommend!

Try the cold brewed Nitro for kick-start. The Rise and Shine breakfast sandwich with egg, spinach, Swiss and Sriracha mayo on butter healthy toast was great! Loved it. Took me a while to "get" the alien theme. Can you figure it out?

Amazing coffee, great cakes/pies and very creative drinks. Staff are kind and welcoming.

This place is amazing, fresh ground and fresh brewed coffees. What could be better? Nutella coffee!!!!! And they nailed it!!!!!!

Delicious tea and coffee.
The staff is amazingly nice. By far my favorite place to get one of the best cup of coffee/tea

The service and food were both great and the atmosphere was quite serene

Best local coffee house. Friendly and lots of variety in their beans

This place is a gem. Amazing coffee (definitely try the Nutella latte), sandwiches, and service. I always try to stop by when I'm in the area!

Coffee and food quality outstanding. My favorite is their gelato.
Friendly service, too.

Love this little local gem. Great coffee & baked goods, healthy food alternatives and friendly service. Go here over the famous coffee chains any day.

Great coffee shop. Has its own nitro brew and blends. Delicious sandwiches and friendly staff

There are varieties coffees to savor. Cool little place to relax.

Best coffee, tea and deserts and great live entertainment. A legend in the area!

Grover's Mills Coffee House is great coffee, terrific food, and scrumptious desserts served by awesome folks. The owner and staff make sure everyone is happy. Go there you will not be disappointed!
