Whether you’re celebrating National Coffee Day (Monday, September 29th) or simply looking for a new spot to score your caffeine fix, here are some new places to enjoy coffee and espresso drinks in South Jersey.
By Zena
41 East Main Street
Moorestown
By Zena’s European Cafe and Boutique Patisserie opened in early September, featuring a selection of award-winning cheesecakes, pastries, desserts, baked goods, and savory items for breakfast and lunch. The cafe offers a variety of coffee options, including drip coffee, espresso drinks, and Turkish coffee. There is indoor and outdoor seating, so sip, grab a nibble, and stay awhile. By Zena is open daily from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m.
The Early Bird
519 Howard Street
Riverton
As I recently reported, The Early Bird in Riverton will assume new ownership by the folks behind Common Grounds in Oaklyn. With that, it will offer a bigger selection of coffee drinks, including coffee flights, in addition to a breakfast/brunch/lunch menu. It reopens on Friday, October 3rd with the new coffee drinks.
Sippin Serenity
687 Stokes Rd
Medford
This new espresso bar with coffee drinks, teas, refreshers, and sweet treats opened recently on Stokes Road in Medford, which is already home to a couple coffee shops with more on the way! Check their IG post below for daily hours.
Wildfether Distilling
236 Kings Hwy E
Haddonfield
Haddonfield’s first and only distillery now offers coffee drinks and fresh scones from Sunflour Bakeshop in the daytime on the first floor. The menu is concise, featuring classic coffee drinks and seasonal lattes, all made with in-house syrups used for their cocktails. There is indoor seating as well as on the porch at the rear of the building. Wildfether Distilling is open 8 a.m. to 2 p.m. everyday.
Re Cafe
226 Haddonfield Road
Cherry Hill
As I recently scooped, Re Cafe opened next to Tiger Schulmann’s Martial Arts center on the 2nd floor at 226 Haddonfield Road (across from the Cherry Hill Mall). The coffee bar features beans from Bucks County Coffee Co. for its drip coffee and espresso drinks. It’s open Tuesday through Friday from 9:00 a.m. to 7:30 p.m. and Saturday and Sunday from 9:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m.
Coffee Malem
620 Deer Road
Cherry Hill
Talk about a hidden gem, tucked away in a commercial strip off Route 70 in Cherry Hill, Coffee Malem is essentially an ‘if you know, you know’ place. So I’m letting you in on the secret so you know! The “Experience Bar” on Deer Road serves La Colombe Coffee and espresso to create lattes, cappuccinos, and other specialty beverages. The Spanish latte recently blew up on the SJFS Facebook group. Hours for the E-Bar are limited, but it is generally open during morning and afternoon hours on weekdays. They’re also on DoorDash, so check there first.
