Red Lion Cafe

Located in New Brunswick, Red Lion Cafe is a local coffee shop popular with students and residents near Rutgers University. Owned and run locally, not by a chain headquartered somewhere else entirely. Rutgers University students and New Brunswick residents pass by it on any given day, whether they stop in or not. Expect a casual, low-key atmosphere rather than a big chain experience. Hours at small local cafes can change, so it's worth checking ahead. No big ad budget behind this one - just word of mouth around New Brunswick. A first visit tends to turn into a habit around here, one cup at a time.
