Yellow Dog Coffee Roasters

Yellow Dog Coffee Roasters is a café and roastery in Manahawkin on the Jersey Shore. It's bright and handcrafted, smells like fresh-cut wood and has old-school country music playing low. There are a handful of tables inside and seating outside, and it's comfortably quiet. The staff are warm.

The seasonal lattes change through the year, with spring specials and more, so try one with a scone. Most regulars take home a bag of the house-roasted beans. They also cater weddings and events.
