WEST WINDSOR: Grover's Mill Coffee House is everything you would hope for in a local coffee shop: exceptional food and drinks, a warm, inviting atmosphere, and a unique connection to history. Just three miles from the legendary landing site in Orson Welles’ War of the Worlds broadcast in 1938, the cafe embraces its Martian roots with playful nods throughout: artwork, posters, themed merchandise, and menu items inspired by the iconic event.

Leashed, friendly dogs are welcome both inside the cafe and on the outdoor patio, making it a perfect stop for pet lovers. The drink menu is impressively varied, offering everything from classic coffee, tea, and espresso to seasonal specials and frozen treats. Light fare includes egg and cheese sandwiches, croissants, bagels, and fresh pastries. One standout: the “Green Alien,” a pistachio and white mocha latte that is as delicious as it is memorable. There are doggie treats behind the counter. The staff is genuinely welcoming and clearly enjoy seeing both their regulars and their four-legged guests. As a bonus, the shop is also environmentally conscious, brewing with organic beans and incorporating sustainable practices into their daily operations.

All in all, I would still pick Grover's over the chains every day of the week and look forward to sampling their espresso drinks for a more complete experience of...
