Port Coffee Roasters — Restaurant in Bay Head

Greg and Grace are just awesome. That just about sums it up. This became my wife's favorite place to get coffee after seeing them at the Brick farmer's market several years ago before they had a storefront. I was not much of a coffee person until the past couple of years because my experience with different types/brews/strengths of coffee just never really did anything for me. When my wife finally introduced me to Greg and Grace, and by default, their self-roasted coffee, I was amazed. My go-to is their espresso. They call it Americano, but the way Greg and Grace make it for me is a little different. Instead of equal parts water and coffee, they make a double-shot and pour it over ice in a large cup. This is such an amazing drink and it takes me well over 3-4 hours to drink. So flavorful, rich, complex, and decadent. ...

I gave Port Coffee Roasters 5 out of 5 stars ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ What’s a barista’s favorite exercise at the gym?

The French press?😅

Okay, review time!

Pros:

Fresh pour-over and espresso coffee, you can taste the quality!!! ☕️ Friendly staff who make you feel right at home! Delicious empanadas, baked (not fried) to perfection (a great option for health-conscious folks who want to avoid fried) Gluten-free Biscotti on point!!! I highly recommend adding the Biscotti to your coffee order! Outdoor seating area is nice for sipping and enjoying the surroundings (in the warmer months)

Cons:

None! I had a perfect experience at Port Coffee Roasters!

Follow me on...

Visiting the shore with my family and some friends for a few days. Had a grand plan to visit different local coffee shops for espresso each day. Came to Port on my first day and completely forgot about that plan.

The espresso here has perfect texture (so syrupy), very good balance between roasty espresso-ness and the flavors of the bean/terroir, and the bean selection is really masterful. Just an absolutely delicious coffee. I'd drink ten a day if I could handle the jitters.

On top of that, Greg is a super nice guy who was happy to share his expertise with me. Really looking forward to my next visit...
