Little Key Coffee - Hightstown, New Jersey

I go to coffee shops up and down the eastern US. I have a standard order, large iced honey latte. I prefer to go to shops that roast their own beans or at least use local suppliers. The gentleman Tuesday Morning 10/22/24 was not chatty or over the top friendly, but I’m from the south so my impression could be more cultural. Regardless of how jovial he was or was not before I’m even up to the counter he is starting to pull a shot of espresso. My time felt very valued. More importantly the latte was EXCELLENT. It was perfectly smooth, not acidic or burned. I was done with it by the time I had made it to the other side of downtown and wanted to go back to order another.

I will definitely be back.

I recently stumbled upon a charming coffee shop nestled in the heart of Hightstown downtown. I decided to indulge in their medium iced Maple Latte, and let me tell you, it's a game-changer! The espresso is the perfect blend of robust and smooth, powering me through the entire day.

The ambiance is welcoming, offering both indoor and outdoor seating. Due to its prime location, parking is a tad bit tricky. I'd recommend using the parking lot by the nearby park or opposite the Rise Thrift Store.

The only wish I have is for them to remain open seven days a week. They're currently closed on Sundays and Mondays, and I find myself longing for their delectable lattes on those days. If you're in the area, do yourself a favor and visit this gem!

We stopped in while on a road trip from Delaware and we were very impressed! The service was friendly and competent. The lattes we had were absolutely delicious, and the pastries were excellent! I purchased gluten free rasberry cookies without realizing they were gf and I couldn't tell the difference. It's worth your time to check this place out!

By far the best coffee in the Princeton Junction area, and I’ve tried it all. It feels like drinking a high end cup from NYC, with baristas who obviously really know what they’re doing. Their decaf Americanos (with actual crema because they know how to make them here) are absolute heaven. I’m so damn glad to have them in the neighborhood. My only wish is that they were open later, as they close at 3pm most days, but I will happily take what I can get haha.

This is a great place to grab a cup of coffee!

A few of my friends and I make this a halfway point for our cycling rides. It's a great spot to sit down and sip on a coffee before going back out on our ride.

The outdoor seating is quite nice, and the staff is very friendly. They're definitely making this pandemic a bit easier to deal with!

Fantastic place. I found the liquid gold and I cannot "espresso" how much I Iove their coffee. You can also buy coffee for home. The coffee beans are slightly expensive but 100% worth it. I don't think you can find higher quality and freshly roasted coffee beans anywhere in this area.

Little Key Coffee has changed my perspective of coffee for the better. Their roasts are absolutely delicious and we make it a point to keep their beans in stock in our kitchen. The staff are friendly and knowledgeable. And of course picking up a latte or other beverage while buying our grounds just makes the experience even better! Thrilled to have this shop as a part of our community!
