Lokal Coffee - Iselin

Very cute coffee shop located in an apartment building (but with a totally separate entrance, which is nice). I got a black coffee, which was delicious, and a cheese danish. The danish was fantastic; one of the best I've had! I do agree with some of the other reviews that say they had less than friendly interaction with the staff. I've only been here once so I can't speak for all the employees of course, but the two that were working when I stopped by were not very kind. I also never comment on pricing when rating places, but holy cow this place is expensive as helllll. We spent $40-45, and only got one coffee, a latte, a danish, a breakfast sandwich, and a totally plain waffle. Idk, I thought that was a wild price for breakfast food, which is literally the cheapest food you can get. Again, I thought the coffee was great, so I would go back just for that.Vegetarian options: Waffles, pancakes, meatless breakfast sandwiches, etc.Parking: It's an apartment parking lot, and there was tons of parking when we went. Very easy to get in and out.

The food is tasty, and it’s nice to get the choice of something healthy. I’ve visited twice, had a omelette both times and it’s really good, But the staff are so rude, it’s almost funny. They don’t say hello when you say hello to them, and the woman who brought my food put it down in front of me without a word and without eye contact. Both staff members who were there last week looked furious to be there although they’re quick enough to spin the cash register round to let you tap on a gratuity. They should rebrand as one of those places where the staff insult you, at least you’d know what you were getting

Smoothie was nice but price listed on blackboard was $6.95 and the paper menu was $7.95. Omelette was borderline inedible because it was burnt. Definitely not worth the $13.95 price tag for something of such poor quality.

Sub par food for above average price. Bacon and cheese omelet and vegan breakfast sandwich. The omelet wasn’t flavorful and the vegan sandwich (definitely the premade JustEgg) didn’t cover half of the brioche bun. Simply put, not the worst but not coming back.Dietary restrictions: Vegan options

My fav treat is the Lavender Latte-Hot?And their Avacado toast is soo good and a great value, comes with chips and mixed greens.Definitely a local staple!
