We stopped by Ocean City Coffee on the Sunday of Labor Day Weekend and the line went out the door. I like this place because they have the feel of a coffee chain like Starbucks but with a local beach-y vibe. They have a few locations and this is definitely the flagship.However, they do not seem well suited to handle the large influx of holiday vacationers. For example, I went to order a Cappuccino and was told they had no Espresso left at all for the day. Their food selection also looked very picked through.As I said, I love this place but if you are going to charge $7 (plus tip) for an iced coffee and a cookie, you need to keep up with demand. I understand that it is the end of the summer and staff is short but I know they can do better.If you are staying downtown or shopping, stop here at least once. It is slowly but surely becoming a stronghold in the OC food scene.
I’m not sure if they’re milking the cows behind the shop, or perhaps grinding the beans with a miniature mortar and pestle, one bean at a time, but it shouldn’t take over twenty minutes to make four basic drinks. There was only one person ahead of us, so it’s not as if they were backed up. To add to the fun, when they put the drinks out, no one seemed to know which cup belonged to whom, and chaos ensued. The lattes were all right, the spiced cider was insanely sweet. Good enough to stop by in a pinch, but there’s better, cheaper, faster coffee in Ocean City.
I love ocean city coffee company. It is always a must when I am nearby. There is a variety of coffee products, lots to choose from. I have enjoyed every beverage and baked good I have ordered. You cant go wrong.
The shop on Asbury matches Asbury Street vibe: very casual and quaint.Finding parking on a Thursday mid-afternoon wasnt as bad as expected.Got two cappuccinos, one oat milk and the other had to be 2%. Either they dont have whole milk or ran out. Regardless, they were delicious.Bagged coffee is a bit pricey, drinks seemed to be standard cost.
Love OC Coffee Co.!❤ Delicious coffee ground fresh every day!Such great flavors! Beans or theyll grind for you. Also a variety of mugs!
Love this place! Staff was very helpful and knowledgeable, they helped me pick out a drink (they have so many options!) and now I have a new favorite! The beans they roast and flavor are also delicious and make for an amazing gift, the staff will grind them to whatever you need and help if you don’t know :)
Great place. I dont drink coffee, so cant talk about that. But the teas and Chai Lattes are awesome!
Love their coffee but the girls behind the counter could have been a little friendlier. I get that they deal with customers and tourists all the time. But they shouldnt let that effect their customer service.
Great coffee and great place to buy gifts that family will actually use. Reasonably priced. We come here alot
I am here just about every morning for my Vanilla Chai Latte! My husband loves their flavored coffees.
They have a few location in Ocean City and they roast and flavor their own beans. You can order plain coffee, specialty drinks, smoothies and more. I wait all year to get my coffee while Im down the shore. They also do mail serves to get pounds of coffee delivered. The staff at any location is kind and helpful.
My iced latte was good besides the fact that it was a hot latte with ice put in it. I had a warm drink at the bottom and a cold drink at the top where the ice was. Shocking and quite gross.
Usually when you go here service is quite good. Today it was very slow. I felt like I was imposing on them to get my order ready.
Awful coffee, weak, flavorless. Only milk options are laced with sugar. Also ordered a wild berry “smoothie” - when I saw them making it I immediately asked for a refund because it was not a normal smoothie of blended fruit, it was blended fruit purées. Banana and berry purées. I mean, I don’t even have words. I presume this standard of quality is fairly typical for this town however this is the worst cafe I have ever been to in my life. Not that there’s many better options around here sadly. Also, the cashier refunded a card that wasn’t mine. Just general incompetence all round.
Its yummy. I prefer to get local coffee over a big chain and they definitely hit the mark of a good local coffee shop with all the variety of the bigger competition!
LOVE Ocean City Coffee Company. Great selection and staff.Every time I go to the shore I start my morning w a cup. I looked online for their coffee so this time I stocked up getting multiple bags of different varieties
The frozen hot chocolate is great, it tastes just like frozen hot chocolate (duh).A cozy place to get a drink. Its basically the same as the one on the boardwalk.Its cooler than being outside on a hot day, but its not super cold.Prices are similar to a Starbucks (which is also relatively close by) and they also have a nice little seating area with free wifi.
We ALWAYS buy our coffee here when we’re at the shore! BEST COFFEE EVER!!! This time we purchased regular chocolate raspberry and decaf chocolate fudge! LOVE this coffee!!! HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!! 💕🥰 ☕️
My husband and I recently tried their coffee through friends and love it! So much so, that I placed a last minute order for my husbands birthday.This company went above and beyond to ensure that the coffee I had ordered was received in time for my husbands birthday.You have a customer for life! Thank you!!
Fantastic coffee. They always make the drinks consistent from location to location as well.
I love this place and there coffee. I come 6/7 days a week and I always bring my dog, I appreciate that they are dog friendly. The only reason why I don’t give the 5 stars... I come to sketch and do my work, but I can’t focus over the loud talking from the employees. I can understand that it’s a social job, and it doesn’t bother me when customers are taking orders etc... but when I can hear conversations about random things over my headphones it instantly directs my attention to whatever they are talking about. I don’t mind that they are talking, it’s just the sheer loudness of it. It’s a small space but there’s no reason to make customers feel the need to leave due to the inability to focus.
Great coffee. Try the dirty hippie!
Wonderfully quaint coffee shop with homey vibes and an amazing offering of in house brews and blends available for order and purchase in bulk !
Good stuff. Try the half caf double caf decaf.
Staff was friendly and the coffee really tasty. My wifes uncle recommended it, and we will continue to get a cup when we come to town.
The staff was so pleasant and the coffee was amazing.
Awesome! BEST sand dollar latte EVER!!!Cant wait to come back!
Awesome local coffee shop with a ton of great choices!
Best coffee in OCNJ
Our family LOVES OC Coffee! Whether in OC, or in Media, PA - we are big fans - of the coffee AND the people who work there!
Great coffee, nice variety. Stopped in on my morning walk. Wanted to check out downtown before heading home. Yes, I can hear the locals cheering. Here with the family to celebrate our 50th anniversary. Remind me of one of my favorite slogans, luck will beat skill every time. For those of you that dont know me, this is my standard red herring stream of consciousness.
Great coffee and service.
Love OCCC, visit every time were down.
I love this coffee shop. It got me through a whole summer of early morning work hours. Their at-home coffee selection is HUGE and delicious. If youve never had it, try their signature blend first. Works great for regular drip coffee and espresso drinks! Im so happy they added shops to the boardwalk. A++.
Very nice
Wonderful coffee
Great coffee!
Great coffee shop on Asbury. Ive been to their shops on the boardwalk for several years. First visit to the one in town. Plenty of seating inside out of the weather. Perfect place to stop on a windy winter day.
Excellent coffee
I love there coffee. I bought the espresso and they ground it for me. Such a nice day I ordered the no sugar added vanilla frozen drink. Never lets me down. Staff is always nice.
Nice coffee shop, great coffee choices. Nice place to sit and relax.
I went to this coffee shop with my 2 friends. The barista got all of our orders wrong. I ordered an iced latte with gingerbread flavor, and it was basically all milk and tasted nothing like coffee or gingerbread. Both of my friends got no cream in their coffee, even though they asked for it, and one didnt get anything but black coffee, when she ordered an iced coffee with vanilla flavor. Not only were the orders wrong, but the coffee tasted awful and seemed very low quality. Would not suggest.
Wish I could rate it 0 stars!!! Thats how gross it was.I ordered an iced vanilla latte and I couldn’t even drink it, it was so sweet it tasted like sugar and so watery I had to just throw it away. Maybe the worst latte I’ve ever had and it was $8. Go to positively 4th street cafe if you want good coffee!!
I don’t want to come off as rude by saying this. This was simply the experience I had: This was one of the worst lattes i’ve had in my life. The foam was practically air and the espresso was burnt. I think a simple solution would be training people before they use the espresso machines.
Has really good lattes, just a bit on the pricey side. Especially their beans are expensive but alot of them are very unique flavors so can be worth the price.
Great service and even better coffee.
Great coffee
I ordered two 16 oz. Americanos and an iced caramel latte. This was one of the weakest Americanos Ive ever had. It did not have more than a single shot of espresso and the rest was water. Iced caramel latte had a chemical aftertaste.
The chai tea is my favorite item on the menu. I love that they have a sugar free option. The two girls that worked the day shift today were very helpful and very professional. The prices are reasonable compared to other coffee shops. I love taking their teas and coffee beans home to have a little sip of the beach when vacation comes to an end. The can grind the beans for you in shop for a variety of different coffee makers.
Great coffee. Best I ever had
1lb bags . great coffee . great sections roaster in the back. How can you go wrong..
Usually have a great visit. Gave 5 stars because we love it here. This visit wasnt The best....The employee didnt listen at all. We bought 3 bags of coffee beans. Only wanted the decaf ground. Ground the wrong bag. Gave one of our coffees to the wrong customer. She ordered a decaf and they gave her a coffee with 3 shots of espresso. No apologies, acted like we were wrong.
Always good products.
Great cup of coffee! Friendly folks and a great environment...
I love this coffee. It is soooo good. They have a great selection of bean coffee and make a bunch of specialty drinks at an excellent price. But also the best straight cup of coffee you can get. Stop going to Wawa and other gas stations and go here. You will thank yourself after the first sip.
BEST COFFEE EVER!!! Everytime I visit, I stock up on their bags of coffee to last me to the next time I visit. Their Banana Coffee is the BEST!
This was our morning coffee go to! Which was funny seeing we were staying across the street from Starbucks. The Kailua hot coffee was delicious, and my kids enjoyed the blueberry & apple crumb muffins. Definitely recommend
Great coffee, great service, locally owned, cant beat itn
A great local place to enjoy your coffee or other drinks. And Dog Friendly.
Stopped in to get souvenirs. Always enjoy OCCC.
I just ordered two lattes about 30 minutes ago. The first one was a white chocolate latte which was delicious and the guy working made it and then I ordered another one and the girl working made the second one. I tried it once I was already home and it was not like the first one. There was so flavor just milk and no whipped cream which we asked for. Make sure you get someone who knows what they are doing and not the girl who wanted to make the coffee sigh no care.
Good coffee with nice views of the boardwalk or Asbury street. The prices are what you would expect from a nice coffee shop in a vacation town. Much better prices and coffee than Starbucks. They have a wonderful tea selection and their many coffees are great. We always buy the pirates blend K-Cups to bring home. If you buy a reusable to go cup it is a great deal and a perfect souvenir to bring back for years to come. The staff and atmosphere are wonderful. A trip to Ocean City would not be complete without a stop at Ocean City Coffee.
Delicious coffee and convenient locations including multiple places on the boardwalk!
Lotte was a bit watery maybe because they used 2% skim milk. But over all good atmosphere. Cheers.
Had a great experience here today during the block party. The staff was very nice and helpful. The iced coffee and orange cream frozen blended drink were both very good. I highly recommend making a stop here if youre in Ocean City!
Friendly staff, good coffee and comfy seating. Nice place to sit and relax for a bit.
Nitro Cold brew got us through our bike ride.Came back for breakfast and bought Pirates Beans to bring back home as a gift.Yummy! And right on the boardwalk.
Great coffee, prices, shop. A win all around.
Many flavors of decaf. Superb coffee.
The employees are AWESOME and the coffee was delightful. Great set up filling your own cup and the atmosphere was welcoming and cozy. Will come back every visit.
Every trip to OC this is my iced coffee goto. All the locations really.
Great coffee and friendly service. A staple of Asbury ave.
Their coffee is awesome and their cinnamon rolls are pretty good as well.
This place has the BEST coffee.
Great location and friendly staff. The coffee was delicious and fresh, but was definitely the most pricey of our trip. We will be back!
Had the cinnamon bun iced coffee yesterday and loved it! The staff was very helpful and even grounded the caramel coffee beans i wanted to gift my parents. Tried the mint chocolate coffee and it tasted just like Dunkins. My favorite place to go in the morning!
Delicious and freshly brewed local coffee! Always a great atmosphere and friendly staff. The iced mocha latte is my favorite!
Having fla ored coffee is always interesting. The flavors for this visit were Pirate, Black & Tan (both tasted like black coffee), Chocolate Coconut and Creme Brule, as well as a House decaf. You end up paying and then filling your cup yourself, which is nice as I could try the different flavors. In general the coffee was fine, and it was nice having a variety of flavors so Id keep going back. The service was nice, and seating was comfortable. The wall of all their flavors in whole bean bags is pretty incredible.
It seems like they never quite give you what you ask for
Staff is nice, but young feel like an adult influence could be used.
Always had a great cup of coffee here. My favorite roast/blend is the Black & Tan. Associates behind the counter not always knowledgeable about the different blends and roasts of coffee they have for sale. Otherwise, the coffee is great!
Great coffee, good pastry/snacks. Friendly service with a comfy atmosphere. Cant ask for much more in a coffee house.
Husband loves their coffee and treats!!
Love their coffee, visit when ever I can
This place is just as good if not better then Starbucks. Very friendly staff and quick service.
Best coffee youll find on the island. Great selection of flavors and blends. The staff was extremely friendly and accommodating even during what seemed like a pretty busy rush.
Roasted in Shop to perfection! Always 8 flavors of delicious hot coffee on tap! The blended drinks are a must have. Pop in to any of their 3 stores in Ocean City.
Fresh hot coffee and a great moist blue berry muffin to start a great day in Ocean City. Thank you Ocean City Coffee!
Great coffee but the lady I had in the morning needed a little more personality
I always stop in and grab a black coffee when I am town. So much better than the coffee at some better known places
BEST COFFEE IN THE WORLD!! Great Staff!! Dog Friendly. Clean. Comfortable. I LOVE THIS PLACE!!
Its a nice place to get your day started. Got the pirate coffee....it was okay
