Top 5 Coffee Shops In The Mendham-Chester Area

MENDHAM, NJ — After a long summer of iced coffee and lemonades, fall is fast approaching and with it, pumpkin spice everything. Love pumpkin spice lattes? Just looking for a really great cup of coffee? Here are some local coffee shops Mendham and Chester Yelpers love.

Maria’s: "Maria's is the type of coffee shop that reminds me of my mom's home baked goods. It has a charming, warm, friendly atmosphere. I'm visiting Chester for the weekend but if I lived locally, I would be a regular customer."

El Monte Coffee Roasters: "So if you're looking for your day to be made.. swing on in here! The lady working is adorable. She made me feel right at home. Another plus, she uses coffee ice cubes in your ice coffee so when it melts, it's not watery. This would be a cute place for a date, hanging out, or just to swing in quick."

The Artist Baker: "The cutest little bakery and café that is tucked away on a busy but still a side street off of the green. The bike hanging as decoration out front is what caught my eye at first and I'm glad that it drew me in. I had a freshly brewed iced tea with my baked cheddar & kale scone one late afternoon."

Simple Coffee: "The place is simply fantastic. It's great quality drinks served up by the nicest people. Everyone I have encountered in the shop is wonderful and this is not just because they provide me with my oh so important coffee."

Matilda’s Cafe: "This is a new cafe at the Freylingheysen Arboretum. It's nice for this type of cafe. Usually there are just some plastic chairs and a cafeteria feel at places like this. Matilda's Cafe is in a little house and it has a well lit mini greenroom type area to the right that looks out on the garden. There is another seating area to the left with dark wooden furniture."
