Love this cute woman owned coffee shop in Englishtown! Tastes better than Starbucks with the added benefit of supporting a local shop.The Newport is my go to with oatmilk and sweet cold foam and they never miss. I’m a slow coffee drinker and my drink tastes good even after an hour with the regular ice cubes. It doesn’t taste watered down.I mostly do a mobile order as I leave my house and my coffee is always ready for me when I arrive. I love that I don’t have to wait especially when they get so busy.

Been here before for coffee which is good. They messed up my order and I didn't realize till after a few sips. I alerted them to that and refused to make another or make it right because I had already drank a good amount. Starbucks would not refuse. Pastries are mediocre at best. Make sure u know what is in every drink u order. A bit pricey and parking lot has a lot to be desired. Very tight spots hard to get in and out.

Love the seasonal lattes, especially fall they have the Big Bear.

baked goods are mediocre at best and ridiculously overpriced, plain cold brew is fine but nothing special, and the atmosphere here seems to exude a style over substance ethos where the actual quality of the food is second to the the stores perception as an ‘experience.’ Slideshows of professional photos of their products flash across the screen as I sit here, dumbfounded that I just paid $16 for a websters dictionary ‘mid’ breakfast.

Popped in on a whim and will definitely be back. Great ambiance, and friendly service that adjusted my order to make it less sweet (Monterey Bay with coconut milk SUPER tasty). Low tables and couches if you want to sit and chat. High tops that I converted into a perfect standing desk with my Moft sit-stand for some quick work on the free Wi-Fi. Several others doing work, a retired couple out for late breakfast, some older gents hanging out, a few ladies out for some girl time. A little something for everyone, even a bear shaped couch outside and tables for the warmer weather. Wish I didn't live so far away, I'd come here over Rook any day! Cute knickknacks for sale and wonderful Christmas decorations, mixing Cali charm with the Jersey cold! I was in a rush for work and forgot to tip the excellent service, so I'm writing this honest and positive review instead.Vegetarian options: I don't think there's a single non-vegetarian option. Several vegan options, but some with butter and cheese.Dietary restrictions: Plenty of vegan and vegetarian options, milk alternatives, and an accommodating staff.Parking: Big parking lot for the strip mall with legacy tenants Musicians Workshop that's been there for the 25 years we've been in the area, so probably a good landlord.Kid-friendliness: Kids will enjoy it for sure.Wheelchair accessibility: No stairs or restrictions for access.Vegetarian options: I don't think there's a single non-vegetarian option.

I LOVE how unique their coffee flavors are! Everything from their regular menu to their seasonal! Even their bakery items are just as delicious as the lattes. I even love how they offer the "coffee cubes" instead of regular ice cubes that way your coffee doesn't get ruined! Love this place!

I was always a Dunkin Donuts or Starbucks guy when it came to coffee but after I moved 6 months ago I found this gem. California Cold Co has been my go to coffee spot now! Their Kona cold brew with the coffee ice cubes (brilliant idea btw!) is absolutely amazing! The shop itself is very nice, clean and has a cool coffee shop vibe. The baristas are all fantastic as well, especially the manager! Very friendly and most importantly, they make my drink perfectly with all of my little quirks.

You are in control of how you set the tone of your day. When you've worked hard all week and you just want a little something special to reward yourself or just to show yourself some love, look no further than this coffee shop. Their regular coffee, signature crafts, and seasonal specials will give you that euphoric feeling.You can order a summer seasonal craft such as the Blueberry Matcha or a classic Signature Craft, such as the Alcatraz. I personally enjoyed the Blueberry Matcha, which was smooth and refreshing. The Alcatraz was also very good, with a strong coffee flavor and a hint of sweetness, as per Hubby. The staff can customize the sweetness and ice level to better tailor to our liking. My Hubby had coffee ice cubes in lieu of regular ice cubes for an additional $0.75 and it was worth it! It should be noted, they do offer bites such as cookies, avocado toast, etc, should you want more than just a beverage.The interior is beautiful, and there are plenty of seating options, both indoors and outdoors. Plenty of seats to work, decompress, meet up with a few friends or to recharge yourself. Exceptionally great place to relax and unwind. The coffee shop is located in a strip mall on Route 9 North, giving you plenty of spaces for parking. Exciting news: As per the manager, she told me California Cold Co will be opening up another store located in Ocean Township, Brick to be more precise. Also in the works is a reward system so you can really treat yourself and get rewarded for it.Assortment: 4/5Service: 5/5Cleanliness: 5/5Ambiance: 4/5Value: 4/5Location: 4/5

I only got the Pebble Beach Coffee which is fruity pebble infused milk and a shot of expresso with vanilla. Next time I would love to try one of their specialty toasts, it looked very good. Coffee was made sweet and smooth. Nice people and nice vibes in there.

This is the best coffee shop in jersey. It’s 40 minutes away from me and sometimes I drive 3 days in a row for there coffee. Everything on the menu is unique, they can individualize it for you as well. I love that the flavors are never too overpowering! Baristas are nice and welcoming. Also love that it’s women owned!

A must for coffee lovers and non-coffee drinkers. California Cold Co. is a coffee shop and lounge that offers a variety of drinks and small bites. It has a spacious cozy and modern atmosphere with comfortable seating, wi-fi, outlets and music. The staff is friendly and helpful, and the service is fast and efficient. Ordered was the Alcatraz, one of their Signature Crafts, which has a double espresso shot, house-made vanilla, activated charcoal and oatmilk. Added were the dark ice coffee cubes. The beverage was smooth, flavorful, with just the right amount sweetness and a nice caffeine hit. The dark ice coffee cubes retained coldness without thining out the drink. Well worth the extra 75 cents. I will definitely be back to experience their other Signature Craft Espresso Beverages and their Cold Brew offerings.
