Lucy Sandler

A really cozy and friendly spot. Delicious and simple food, a great local place!

Kevin Johnson

Really nice setting and staff very nice. My wife and I have been doing morning coffee dates here on the weekend.

Shari Adair

Great coffee! Muffins are delicious. Breakfast/lunch both done really well. Service is great and personal. Bagels are yummy as well. Best of all? Apple Pay!! When I’m out without my wallet I can use my Apple pay and that just makes me happy. Most don’t know how it works... but just tell them it will work and don’t give up. Ha! Enjoy.

Lucia Huebner

It's cute

Jesse Neuman

I'm here at least once a day... awesome family run business that employs local people and fosters a friendly atmosphere. The food is awesome and so is the company.

Karin Deneka

Great breakfast. Fresh muffins and fresh squeezed orange juice.

Mark Bean

Always a favorite for locals and those passing through town on bikes or motorcycles.

Heike Clouse

Best coffee shop in the area. We stop there regularly. The staff is amazing and friendly. Selection is great. And the coffee just perfect.

Daniel Kurz

Homemade chocolate chip cookies (milk and dark chocolate), muffins of various types, soups/sandwiches made fresh onsite when ordered, and amazing cafe beverages. Normally, small town coffee places like Boro Bean are more expensive than their chain counterparts but this establishment is very reasonable. The coffee prices are competitively priced and the baked goods are actually cheaper than the chain cafes. I highly recommend Boro Bean.

Will Cord

Great service :)

Catherine Marchese

Really good caramel latte, bagels are exceptional.

Michelle Tulik

Amazing place! The workers are so friendly and nice! And the aesthetic is on point!

Marie Gutshall

I want to start by stating the following fact: I was not asking for something not on the menu. Boro Bean receives 2 stats from me due to their customer service and lack of accommodation. This has happened twice now, and quite frankly I am very annoyed - the first time, I simply asked for an extra serving of chicken salad on the side. They said no. Today, my second time I asked for just chicken salad. Again, no. So I end up having to pay $8.75 for a salad with chicken salad on top of it. WHY? I don't want the bowl of mixed lettuce or the tomato slices - I just wanted the chicken salad. Why was Boro Bean unable to accommodate my request? It would have been easier and cheaper for them to hand me a bowl of chicken salad as I wanted, rather than make their entire bowl of lettuce and half a tomato. The only reason I didn't give one star for this lack of accommodation and good customer service, is because the food is good. Seating is cramped, the decor is lacking, but the food is good.

Wonderful beverages and food in a lovely setting. Don't let this hidden gem pass you by!

Kimberly Trent

Always friendly service and high quality food.

Robert Roetman

Absolutely the best wings around! I told the owner we were going to try them and if they were good I would write a review online. They are FRESH and the Buffalo sauce is perfect. If you haven't tried them, it's a must! They don't serve them every day so call ahead, and get there early, they sell out fast! Great job Boro Bean, we'll be back!

Burton Rothberg

This is a really nice neighborhood place. Coffee is very good and the people are friendly. The muffins are quite sweet by New York standards, but many people like that.

Dan Franciscus

Love it. Four stars only because they should serve pork roll not just bacon.

Innately Driven

Great local coffee shop serving Small World local roasted brews. Food selection is good, ingredients can be a little sketchy, but the fact it's made with love makes up for it in my book.

Bob Sam

Lovely little independently owned coffee shops. Great place.

Douglas Simon

Good coffee but you'll pay for it.

Оксана Мазурак

Gelo Petsvona

Nice vibe, good coffee and fresh baked goods. Awesome muffins right out of the oven. Cool local place reminded me of Woodstock.

JAMES NICOLETTI

We have been to Boro Bean in Hopewell a few times. They have delicious coffee and make an awesome cafe mocha. I would have given 5 stars but last time there we both agreed the place needed a good cleaning from floor to ceiling.

Robert Tansey

Good coffee and pastries. Nice atmosphere.

Walid Nabhane

Ok place for a small town but not too friendly and the coffee is not that great. But the charm of the old house saves it. The capuccino tasted ok but nothing special. They don't carry almond milk...

George Sare

Food is great and the service is excellent

A. S.

Great cozy little place. Coffee and pastries are very good.

Viktor Bek

Always fresh, nice selection of snacks,all the way to full meals , small world Cafe coffee, my kids love quesadillas, and it opens at 6:30 am so stopping by before getting on commuter train is a wonderfully way of starting the day, as well as staying open till letter so after a hike in Sourlands stopping by to recover in quiet historic downtown never gets old . ..

Donna Sullivan

Great coffee and home made baked goods, soups and sandwiches. Owners and staff are wonderful.

Zack Compton

A little sketchy from the outside, but the inside was warm and welcoming. The hot chocolate was the perfect temperature. Would recommend.

George Sproul

Great fresh baked muffins, cookies and several additional option for breakfast and lunch.

Michael Lopez

A bit pricey... But you get what you pay for.

Amanda Langill

Delicious paninis and Small World coffee. Polite staff. Plenty of indoor seating, but I prefer to take a seat on the porch and people watch!

George Signoriello

5 stars for the coffee, but I have my reservations about the cleanliness. ... There were three large bags of sugar sitting on the back porch where patrons with children were congregating.... The coffee was great so I'm willing to give them the benefit of the doubt and give them another shot.

Jason Fenton

Love this place! Give them a shot

Linda Pickering

Tasty paninis, hearty chili and soups, delish muffins, breads. Good for breakfast and lunch.

Ross Dodd

Great coffee, quaint atmosphere, and delicious small food (sandwiches, muffins, etc.). My wife and I drive past multiple coffee shops every Friday to go here. Mixture of young and older crowd.

Berry Metzger

Great food, sit and eat outside, friendly staff, a go-to place for breakfasts and lunches

The soups are always spot on. Bread is delectable. Wonderful that they serve coffee and tea in lovely white mugs. Good for kids too. Small play area in back of shop. Porch is dog friendly. Highly recommend!

Biju Parekkatt

I had a great experience. Their breakfast is healthy and all natural. Try it

John Galvin

A great local coffee shop. They use coffee from small world coffee in Princeton and hand craft their drinks with care. The staff is friendly, attentive and always welcoming. There is seating available to enjoy a quick breakfast or a tasty lunch. The lunch menu isn't extensive but has enough options. The baked goods are look delectable and taste delicious. If you live near by, this should be one of your local staple haunts. If you are just passing through, it's definitely worth a stop.

David Schuchman

Nice place to meet a friend for a cup of coffee or light meal.

Great little coffee shop serving locally roasted Small World Coffee. Awesome muffins. Haven't tried any of the sandwiches yet. Support local businesses.

The Tommy J

The place needs to be cleaned

Sophie Sannak

The best muffins I've ever had. Everything else is great too, but those are the best

william agress

When it comes to muffins you can't beat Boro Bean. They also have great soups and I really like the avocado toast.

Barca Hrebickova

Favorite pace to get latte, outstanding service and very tasty sandwiches.

Raised In NJ

Get breakfast every morning at Boro Bean. Everyone is friendly. Whoever made the oatmeal this morning (4/15/14) should get a raise. Superb.

Warren R. Love

Sheldon Berkman, DMD

Fun local coffee shop. Needs to completely reorganize the ordering - cooking to delivery service.

Glenn Cantor

A comfortable neighborhood coffee house, with delicious food and very friendly staff. A nice place to bring children, or to stop and snack while bicyling, or to get breakfast.

Pradnya Khandekar

A very cozy place with great food and friendly service.

StacyAdams

Quaint and lovely inside

Neilie Mackay

Lovely cuppa

David Kowalski

Simple but wonderful home-made soups and sandwiches. Very friendly staff and a very homey atmosphere...more like going to a friend's house than a restaurant. It can get a bit crowded at lunch but that just adds to the opportunity to meet new friends.

Carolina Alvarado

Really good waffles. Have been here a few times, and always have a positive experience. Staff is friendly. Food is tasty. The place itself is always quiet, and clean!

Dan Opdyke

Great food, coffee and customer service.

sandy rodriguez

The coffee and sweet potato muffins are amazing!

Aryan mobiny

I went there once for breakfast. Staff are very nice and friendly. Food is fresh and delicious. We loved our meal and strongly recommend it

Diana B

Met a friend here for brunch on a Saturday around noon. Busy as expected but not crowded. Get their apple muffins! Delicious iced coffee with sandwiches and light fare that is sure to please everyone in your brood! Also, located on a really nice area. Go for a walk with your coffee. It wont disappoint!

Nikki Barbaree

Great atmosphere outside or inside. Amazing breakfast and lunch options. Delicious homemade muffin selections every day!!

Khris Davenport

Great food, great atmosphere, awesome location!

Renata Barnes

Just a great homey place with owners who care and who make it a point to know their customers. Everything is homemade from muffins to soup stock. Great chai along with a satisfying breakfast is one of my favorites. Johnny and Ellen Abernathy really put their heart and soul into this place and it shows because it's always packed.

Kristen M

A really cute place to go for coffee or breakfast in downtown Hopewell. It’s right next to the Hopewell Public Library and often girl scouts sell their cookies on the porch. They have a selection of wraps, pastries, and coffees/tea. A bit on the pricier side but overall pretty good.

Alexey C.

Great coffee and food

Darlene Mcmahon

Luv the coffee! Soups and such to die for! The owners are fabulous and actually work arm in arm with the others! Only problem is the parking! Just not enough of it, but that's not their fault!

Niyeti Shah

TL;DR - perfect for doing work, grabbing brunch, meeting friends. Amazing waffles and muffins! Boro bean has a perfect small town vibe coupled with friendly staff and a beautiful space. They offer free wifi, making it a great place to do some work. They have lots of outdoor seating as well, along with games and coloring books for kids. Their waffles are incredible especially their seasonal pumpkin waffles. This is a great place to meet up with friends are just have some tea and read a good book.

jeremy spiller

Nice quaint cafe

Ray Segarra

Always happy to step into the Boro Bean for a quick cup of coffee to go, or for a relaxing sit down meeting with friends or business associates!

Mike Freider

Excellent place for lunch and cup of coffee

Kurt

This place is always awesome. Good coffee, surprisingly delicious oatmeal, very reasonable prices, and great ambiance. Sitting on the porch in the morning reminds me of a southern mansion. Love it!

Frank Derby

Great local cafe with wonderful customer service.

TK

Good coffee

Steve Levine

Welcoming, casual, good drinks and baked goods. And ice cream.

Beresford Metzger

Great casual dining with wide variety of sandwich choices. Good coffee. Cosy. Always busy. Order at the counter, wait staff will deliver to your table. Child friendly: on the back porch are wooden toys to play with. Bus your table when leaving speeds table turnovers. Inside and outside seating with shade.

George Fitzgerald

Good coffe, friendly staff. Nice to sit outside, weather permitting

Mohamed Hadi

The best place for tea and hot soup. Wonderful wonderful place i like it soooo much i come from wayne just to get my soup and tea

Keith Tharp

Perfect little spot for a quick coffee and breakfast. Staff is always kind and helpful.

Walt Danker

I had high hopes but found it to be only okay. I wish I had continued down to Blawenburg Cafe. I told them I'd like a dark roast, to which they responded in a barely audible tone with the names of the 3 coffees they had, which gave me no clue as to which was dark. Well which is the darkest? That's not a big deal but not the response I expect from a coffee shop, and indicitive of average customer service. They sell Small World coffee here. The oatmeal I got was very bland, most likely instant. I only finished it because I was hungry. I will say the breakfast sandwiches that I saw while I was there and the fresh baked muffins looked quite good, but I did not try them. Overall I doubt I return.

Sophie Davis

quality food and service

Robert D. Steimle

Nice place to grab breakfast and chat with a friend or read a book. The coffee is very good and the staff are friendly. I like the outdoor seating and the small-town, personable atmosphere. My favorite menu item is the Belgian waffle with fruits and ice cream, however it is only available around breakfast time.

Amy

Love the coffee, the friendly staff, and the fresh baked goods.

Sarah Lindahl
