Candelaria Espresso Bar — Restaurant in Matawan

Friendly small business cafe

The interior ambience is of a dimly lit nature, which makes it very easy on the eyes, but at the same time the fairly large windows let’s in a fair amount of sunlight to keep the spirits up

The coffee isn’t of a cheaper bodega type, but the care the owners put in it, coupled with the fair amount of seating space, makes it worth while.

Although take caution, as if ever this place gets too crowded, power outlets here are at a premium, as they are fairly scarce

But other than that, this is a fairly quaint place to utilize as a momentary home away from home, as the bathroom was as clean as if it were that of a residential home

So far i ordered both a hot and cold beverage from them and they both taste unique enough to be their own brand, with both having deep coffee flavor, the type of which you can sense they use a fair amount of coffee bean product to make

They also have a variety of pastries and prepackaged snacks, especially their white chocolate macadamia nut cookie, which is huge in both flavor and size

She proceeded to make his drink and once finished, she continued to make mines. Now, if I came in first and ordered, my drink should’ve been first priority. Cop or not, I was there first and he or any other person should’ve waited their turn. The drink was pretty decent. I don’t want to make this about race, but that’s exactly what it seemed. Thank you for your service. I’ll take my...

We had a wonderful experience at Candelaria! When we walked in, the place was already lively, and shortly after, two large groups came in, making it very busy. Despite the sudden rush, the staff handled everything with grace, working hard and staying composed. Their positive attitude and attentiveness really stood out and made the experience even better.

The food was fresh and delicious, and the coffee was absolutely spot on — rich, smooth, and perfectly made. You can tell they really care about the quality of what they serve.

What we loved most was the cozy atmosphere. The seating was comfortable and inviting, and the decor was beautiful — warm, thoughtful, and perfect for a relaxed coffee outing or catching up with friends. We’ll...
