Updated October 2026. The coffee shops in Denville, NJ have changed a lot in the last two years. Downtown now has a farm to table brunch cafe on Broadway, a record store that pours espresso, and a racing simulator cafe on East Main Street, alongside longtime breakfast counters and a pair of Starbucks and Dunkin locations on the highways. Here is where to get a good cup, what each place is like, and when it is open.
We confirmed addresses, phones and hours with each business’s own website or social pages in October 2026; where a shop does not post hours, we say so. For donuts, pastries and gelato, see our Denville bakeries, desserts and ice cream guide, and for a walking map of the shops around Broadway and Main, our downtown Denville guide.

Looking for Cafe Metro?
A lot of people search for Cafe Metro when they want coffee, but The Cafe Metro on Diamond Spring Road is a full restaurant, not a coffee shop.

Phone: (973) 625-1055
Hours: Monday to Thursday noon to 8 p.m., Friday and Saturday noon to 9 p.m., Sunday closed
