"The Inkwell isn’t a standard Jersey Shore restaurant — it’s a bit of an artsy haven with open mic nights, poetry readings, improv, and other live performances. The coffee house stays open very late and there’s no alcohol, but it’s a convivial place where Jersey heroes Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band hung around in the early days." - Stefanie Tuder

Me and my boyfriend came over here and loved it. I love the punk rock music playing, the drinks are super good and delicious. I got the ice Dutch coffee. Oh man the whip cream and the coffee was so good I felt fully awake after drinking it for an extra few hours. Staff are really nice and cool. Only issue was funding the entrance but still like it here and love the atmosphere of it being open at night as well. Definitely come here for a great time!!

Was looking for a coffee shop with an original vibe, and this place certainly fits the criteria. Yes, it's dark. Expect your eyes to adjust a bit before even attempting to read the menu; the pics give you an idea of the lighting situation. But remember, you're not there to read a book, you're there to enjoy an original coffee drink; and that they do in a glimmering spotlight of delicious. I asked the server to make me one he recommends and what he came back with was the most amazing cappuccino I've had in months! Loved every sip of it.

You can’t leave without having a Dutch coffee. Whether it’s hot or iced, it’s always an amazing treat. The menu and food is your typical diner food, which is to say it’s not disappointing and not mind-blowing. Expect wait times and service to take a while, as it gets busy quickly. Love it here always. Had a previous review mentioning the loud music but tbh it wouldn’t be the same without it

Coming here is an experience. It's not flashy and it's not upscale. It's unique, has great service and offers a truly fantastic drink and dessert menu which are really fun. There is also a big variety of Vintage is the loving way to describe the deteriorating interior of this place. But you don't come here for that. You come here because this is just a great spot to hang out. The vibe of the customers and servers combined with the drinks and desserts really make this place. And infamous New Jerseyan Kevin Smith used to eat here all the time. It also is in a very convenient location. What's more could you need?

Always a blast to come here. The staff are awesome and get huge orders by memory, and the atmosphere is unmatched by any other place I've been to. I come here nearly every week, I just can't get enough.

I stepped into this place and ordered food and just wow!! I couldn’t believe what I was in for. Everything on the menu looked amazing so I tried the PHAT wrap!! It was probably one of the most amazing things I’ve eaten in my life. The atmosphere looked extremely nice and I want to actually eat inside the place the next time. The shake I also had was next to amazing!! If you ever go to the beach or just walk around Long Branch, don’t miss this spot!! You won’t regret it!! Please also try their Dutch Coffee, it’s truly addicting!

This place is dope. It's great to hang out, have some good food, listen to great music and the customer service is amazing for how packed this place gets. ALSO, I highly suggest you try there coffees and fraps 10/10 would recommend
