Rook Coffee Opens 10th Location in Holmdel

Rook Coffee continues to dominate the Monmouth County coffee scene, opening its 10th location today.

The local roaster is now open in Holmdel Towne Center on Rt. 35 in Holmdel, near the intersection of Laurel Ave.

Like all Rook locations, they'll be open from 6a-5p, selling made-to-order pour over coffee, tasty pastries, and of course, the infamous New Orleans-style Cold Brew, better known as my lifeblood.

If you haven't been to Rook, be advised, it's not like your typical coffee shop. There's no seats, no sugary lattes, no breakfast sandwiches. It's just damn good coffee.

I'd obviously recommend the NOLA cold brew, or if you're looking for something hot, the Guatemala never disappoints!

Bonus: you can text in your order so it's ready when you arrive. Holmdel's text-to-order number is 732-592-1665.

Rook also has locations in Red Bank, Little Silver, Wall, Colts Neck, Manalapan, two in Oakhurst, and two in Long Branch, including at Monmouth Medical Center.

Rook still has not responded to my request for a small location in the Point studio.
