Corner Cafe Bistro

Cappuccino’s, gelato, and cigars!
Nice little spot to relax and chat over a coffee. Decent cup of cappuccino. Pastries, salads, and sandwiches on the menu. Plenty of seating. Clean and airy.
Not too many coffee café’s sell cigars but this one does. Kind of odd but I guess it works here. Limited selection in a small humidor standing against the wall across the main counter.
Service was just fine when we were here in the afternoon after the Unilocal Winter Staycation weekend was ending. By 3pm more people were coming in and it was actually pretty crowded. OK place to take a break from shopping or walking along the beach, and have a hot or cold beverage.

Eh, great location and coffee is fine. There’s gelato too and other sweet deliciousness but my biggest letdown is how uncomfortable the seating is. There’s nothing warm and welcoming here. Hardwood seats. Ugh. Can’t relax.

Ok a bit pricey, but coffee was rich. Refills are full price. Not worth going back. Here is their response: Sorry to hear you had a bad experience but none of our coffee comes with free refills. We do offer a coffee travel mug that we fill for the price of a regular coffee.
Starbucks is s $.50 refill. Makes sense to me.

Cute and spacious café in the heart of Long Branch.
Good — coffee and pastries. Plenty of seating (indoor and out).
Bad — poor staffing. Poor girl was by herself and their was a line. Took about 15 mins to order.
Worth a shot if your in a bind and need some cafine.

The glazed eyes on the patrons who were waiting for their orders while seated at the tables should have been a warning sign. We’d been here before and didn’t have a problem and were in and out quite easily and we enjoyed our egg sandwiches and coffee. But not today…
This place is inefficiency at its finest. People crowded around the counter and at least 5 – 6 tables of people were waiting for their orders. (The staff could benefit from some training from any NYC bagel/​sandwich establishments.) I waited about 30 minutes for my order which, after several inquiries to a staff who could have cared less – appeared, but was haphazardly thrown together and was entirely incorrect. This experience here today has turned me off to this place.
Don’t come here hungry because you will gnaw off your own arm before your order never appears. Save your money and go elsewhere. Trust me.

My sister in law and I ventured down to Long Branch before the holiday weekend, to work on our tan, and relax a little bit. We left our home town, sunny and warm, and as we approached Long Branch the skies turned grey and the weather was chilly! Being that we drove for an hour, we decided to make the best of it. We parked and walked down the Pier Village. Bunch of shops, and food options. After learning that my taco place closed (way to make a bad day, worse), we decided to stop in at the Corner Café and grab some lunch! I had the tomato and mozzarella panini with pesto, super yummy, and served with a side of chips. My sister in law had the Buffalo Chicken Salad, which she also enjoyed.
The workers were really nice, the place itself is super clean and well kept! They also offer, breakfast, coffee and gelato! They have both inside and outside seating. Perfect little spot of a light lunch on your beach day, if you didn’t pack anything!
Enjoy!

The location is great! The food is good and they have drinks from coffee to protein shakes! I literally would drive 30 minutes from my house to here to order coffee. It is so relaxing because you can stare at the beach and just think to yourself. They have various desserts too. Gelatos and pastries for a nice summer day or to accompany a hot cup of coffee!
