Laid-back, cozy, exudes artistic, old-world charm.Local art and vintage touches create a welcoming nook that invites lingering. The almond chocolate croissant arrives warm and crispy, pairing perfectly with an excellent latte. The friendly barista’s quick, effortless service adds to the charm. A place to spend a quiet afternoon lost in a book, feeling right at home.

My new favorite place in the area. Everyone is over and above super friendly great atmosphere and even better coffee! It's become a usual stop for me & my picky 10-year-old loves their fresh smoothies!!! It's great to be able to bring my daughter to a coffee shop where she can have something nutritious that she loves to eat too!

1st Cup Coffee is very reasonable & the coffee is delicious in the wonderful town of Atlantic Highlands. You will get great service as well. They have seating to come & relax or grab your coffee & go. 1st Cup has an amazing room in the back that you can rent for a very low cost. I just had an event for my real estate business here & they treated me top notch with great coffee. If you need space for a local event or you are having a speaker, this is the place to be. You can not beat the price. I am planning my next event. Thanks Bob!! My guest loved the event.

The blonde barista (Sarah) gave us excellent service and recommended incredible pastries and iced lattes. You won’t regret coming to this place! Also, stream Phases (the baristas album) on all platforms soon :)
