About This Spot

Stepping into Mind The Gap Coffee feels like finding a gentle pause in the rush of the day. Nestled along Spotswood Englishtown Road in Monroe Township, this café warmly invites you into a pace that calms and welcomes in equal measure. Its atmosphere is quietly vibrant, a place where the hum of conversation, the soft clink of cups, and the comforting aroma of freshly brewed espresso mingle effortlessly.

Here, the experience goes beyond just the drinks and bites—it’s about the ease of sinking into a cozy chair, the subtle joy of a perfectly crafted latte, and the soft smiles exchanged between friendly faces who remember your usual.

It’s a spot where the ritual of coffee and conversation feels both personal and timeless.

Yall know the theme song for the show “Cheers”? That’s what it’s like here — everybody knows your name and they’re always glad you came. The staff and owner always make you feel at home and welcome ! (They have been so kind as well accommodating my service dog with me, which is a relief and a comfort knowing I never have access issues here!) We have bought so many variety of items: from frappes to cold brew to lattes to hot chocolate, croissants to muffins to brownies to cookies to stroopwaffel, it’s all delicious. It’s small and cozy with plenty of space to wait for your drinks without being on top of one another which is a relief as I do not love crowded cramped shops where you can reach over to the plate of the person next to you lol. Space is good yall lol and there’s lots of places nearby to take your beverage to go and have a nice stroll in fresh air! Plus, during the holidays there were donation and food drive options and an affirmation tree and it was just so wholesome and wonderful and community oriented. It’s always a pleasure to stop by this gem of a local bakery and coffee shop! (If you one starred this place I am *personally offended* because that’s baloney I bet you work ops for Big Coffee because no lie they deserve twenty stars per review . Lol)

I’ve been obsessed since my first sip. I tell everyone they need to come here. I don’t shut up about it. Every drink I’ve tried has been amazing. The avocado toast is amazing. The staff is always so kind and welcoming.

Mind the Gap is always an amazing experience. Staff are always kind, courteous, and knowledgeable. The coffee is great too! My favorite thing to order is the seasonal frappe with a shot of espresso. Cannot recommend enough.

Mind The Gap Coffee serves one of the best lattes I’ve had anywhere. The espresso is smooth and rich, and the milk is steamed perfectly every time. It’s the kind of latte that tastes crafted, not rushed. The café itself has a cozy, welcoming vibe, and the staff always make you feel at home. If you’re a latte lover, this place is a must-visit.

Fabulous trendy coffee shop with a warm, inviting atmosphere! The comfy chairs make it the perfect spot to relax. I had a delicious latte with oat milk—so creamy and flavorful. I also tried the avocado, halloumi, and eggs on toast with mushrooms, and it was absolute perfection. Highly recommend and definitely put this on the list to visit !

Mind the Gap has become my absolute favorite coffee shop in New Jersey. The endless list of syrups and cold foam flavors will have you coming back everyday. The coffee, pastries, and pumpkin banana pudding are AMAZING!!!!! Rhawnie and her staff are so incredibly friendly and sweet!!!!
