Some outsiders may consider New Jerseyans to be snobby about our food and drinks, but we come by it honestly. We can’t help it if we have the best bagels, pizza, etc..

When we go out, we expect something delicious, including when we order coffee.

While we may not be as coffee-obsessed as Lorelai Gilmore from that early 2000s show ‘Gilmore Girls,’ we still expect a decent cup.
