Lyberry Coffee Co. — Restaurant in Cranbury Township

I’ve been looking forward to Lyberry’s opening ever since there was a sign on the unfurnished spot. As a Cranburian, it’s great to see more small businesses open up here. While it took a lot longer than I wanted, I finally got to visit today. I also work at a cafe nearby, so I was excited to explore and support nearby cafes—especially one to which I live so near to. I had high hopes with the reviews I’ve read.

Although google reviews wouldn’t let me, I’d give this place a 3.5/5 but I rounded up. The atmosphere definitely fit with the reviews and the motto. It was clean, well lit, and there was plenty of seating(no outlets but that’s ok!)

The service was also very good. The person in the front was very thorough in getting my order and my drink and food item came out very fast. I got a large cappuccino(two shots) with whole milk and cinnamon, and a mushroom quiche which she so kindly heated up for me perfectly.

Great idea to have things like fresh fruit and prepared fruits. Definitely more convenient than driving all the way to a store for just my fave—strawberries!

The quiche was great! It was flavorful, with a crispy edge and smooth inside.

However, I was disappointed with the coffee, and this is the only reason why I brought my rating down. The milk was overly steamed as it was very hot, little natural sweetness due to over steaming, and it was very foamy with no micro foam. The taste was also very flat because of this. I was also a little confused as to why the cappuccino was more expensive than the latte, but that didn’t contribute to the score at all. I hope to give Lyberry’s another shot sometime, as this might have been...

Quick summary: Food and drinks were ok but service and atmosphere was great.

I got the Torinese. This was a decent latte. It’s not the best I’ve had (I’ve had a lot of lattes) but it wasn’t bad. I did like how it wasn’t too sweet which is a big plus since most places that serve a mocha type latte put way too much syrup. I did however wish more of the espresso taste came through. But again, it wasn’t bad…just my personal preference.

For food, I got the Prosciutto and Pear Panini and Pistachio croissant and my boyfriend for the Muffuletta Panini. Unfortunately, we were pretty disappointed with these. We thought these were going to be warm, panini pressed sandwiches but they weren’t. The ciabatta was room temp when it was served. I personally liked the Prosciutto and Pear panini I got. The flavor was there but I think it would’ve been 5 stars if it was warm and pressed. As for the Muffuletta, it was a bit dry and lacking. Their side salads are actually pretty good so we ended up adding it into the Muffuletta to give it more flavor. I was really excited about the Pistachio croissant but it was a little disappointing again.

As a disclaimer, I do travel a lot and am a big foodie so I have tried a lot of places so maybe my standards are just high. I did really want to like this place because it has a great atmosphere, the service is amazing, and their menu is promising. But right now, the cost to quality ratio isn’t there for me. I think little tweaks in there food recipes and drinks will make this...
