Cafe Volan

This was a soul quenching phenomena. Mike told me he got in around noon. A gem of a barista, people like him are an enormous part of the reason this culture and vibe are so revered. Specialty coffee is anything if not stylish, and like all things sophisticated, worth traveling for and often, waiting for. I will say though, if you go late it may be quiet enough to see the shop in a special and nuanced glow. And yes, there is something about a remarkable cafe that just epitomizes it…. The connection to where the flavor comes from. Bean to mug, farm to table, and although the beans drift through the air and over oceans, if the culture of storytelling hits just right, you can get more than a cup of coffee at the right place.

This place has been here forever but it’s always reliable. We ordered a latte and a matcha, both with oat milk, go stay. Steamed milk was a bit wonky, but the taste was fine.

Cool cozy little coffee shop in Asbury Park. Got a latte to drink in and drip to take away. Both high quality and delicious. Walk here from the empress hotel where I was staying. Great atmosphere and good service. Would definitely return.

Lovely cafe. There’s such a charm to cafes in Asbury Park. Laid back vibes with a super friendly barista made me happy. Coffee drinks we ordered - wonderful! Delicious! Great oat milk iced latte!

I love their specials! Often seasonal beverages are predictable, artificially sweet, and leave you feeling deflated. Cafe Volan is creative and gives you a variety of flavor without feeling sickly sweet. I’d describe them as inviting, delicate, and worth savoring. The staff is also super friendly and fun to chat with. The homemade herb cream cheese is also really good 👀 along with fresh pastries!
