After attending my mandatory CA Meeting (Coffeeholics Anonymous in Belmar I decided there is no time like the present to take control of my life. I will no longer be shackled by the beliefs of those who feel it is not OK to use espresso shots as a chaser to down a handful of crunchy single origin coffee beans. Therefore I used my twitchy google fingers to find the nearest brown watering hole and stumbled upon Rook. After opening the door I entered this quaint fast paced cafe and realized I was in heavens lobby.

The best cold brew around! I always like to say that Rook coffee is for the real coffee lovers. You won?t find any fancy syrups like other brands. Just strong coffee, great flavor, and excellent service! During the summer time (especially on weekends), Ihighly recommend ordering ahead of time on the app. There?s also an option to provide ?special instructions? and I use thisfeature to describe exactly how I want my order and adjust modifications as needed. This is my favorite Rook location, you guysare always doing your best to serve customers with quality coffee, and it shows.
The coffee is great but I wasn't down to wait 15 minutes for a cold brew when there was no line. I'm not a regular and didn't have the app. Seems like they fill the orders sequentially regardless of whether they are mobile or in-person. Felt a little unfriendly to stand there for so long watching mobile orders fly when it would have taken just a few seconds to pour a cold brew.

Good coffee. A bit strong but doesn?t taste like flavor syrups like Starbucks coffees. Could use more variety of flavors, food and coffee options such as cappuccinos and bagels and guest seating but if you want to order simple coffee online and go thenthis is the place for you.
This place was PACKED around 10am, the employees handled it like a dream and thankfully no one gave them a hard time that I could tell. I didn’t realize that they don’t do espresso, only drip coffee a warning to people wanting a latte!
I used to love wall. Idk what's happening but every time I go recently my order is messed up every time. I'm mildly allergic to almonds and would love to stop breaking out in hives when I am under the impression I ordered oat milk
I absolutely adore this place! The staff is consistently friendly, and the coffee is always excellent. Food rating: 5/5.

My only issue is that their vanilla latte isn't always on the menu. But the iced New Orleans is a wonderful substitute!
This is my favorite place to go for iced coffee near the shore! The summertime special, vanilla cinnamon is the best!
