There are many things to love about Turning Point restaurants. Breakfast, Lunch, Brunch, whatever. But that coffee…Oh, that coffee! So good. Well, in case you didn’t know, Turning Point’s coffee is provided by a local New Jersey roaster, known as Cowabunga Coffee.

Cowabunga is coming!

Now comes word that Cowabunga Coffee is expanding operations in Monmouth County by opening their own spot in Long Branch! The new location will be located at 92 North Ocean Avenue.

They believe in the perfect cup.

According to their website, https://cowabungaroasters.com/ , Cowabunga’s roasters believe that preparing the perfect cup of coffee requires focus and attention to detail. They source the most remote places on the planet. Using only use 100% Arabica beans with the highest grade level. Furthermore, their Diedrich Roaster is recognized as one of the best small-batch coffee roasters on the planet. Also, Cowabunga grinds all coffee to order and use triple filtered water to brew. Using a micro-mesh screen pour-over process ensures all the flavor and oils travel into the cup. They never use paper filters that absorb flavors. Finally, they offer locally sourced milk choices and an unlimited variety of sweeteners for all guests.

Simple choices make happy customers.

Their coffee choices are simple yet elegant. Light, Medium, and Dark Roast style hot pour overs, plus Cold Brew, Nitro, Iced Lattes and more are offered at current locations in Hoboken, Moorestown, as well as Warrington, Pennsylvania. The new Long Branch location will be the fourth location for the company, which also offers whole bean and ground bags for sale in store and online.

Caffeine convenience is key.

No word on a date for the grand opening of the new Long Branch Cowabunga location, however they do have pleasing hours posted for the shop. According to the website, the North Ocean Ave locale will be open 7 days a week, from 7:30am until 3pm. Plenty of time for that caffeine injection. Plus, don’t forget, you can always get your Cowabunga fix at any of the many Turning Point locations at the Jersey Shore.

  BONDOWOSO, EAST JAVA, INDONESIA - AUGUST 11: Farmer are choosing coffee during the production of Civet coffee, the world's most expensive coffee in Bondowoso on August 11, 2009 in East Java, near Surabaya, Indonesia. The coffee, also known as Kopi Luwak, is produced by the civet (a small squirrel-like arboreal mammal) which eats the coffee berries or red coffee cherries, the beans inside which pass through its digestive tract, expelling them undigested as faeces. The faeces are then cleaned, dried and lightly roasted to make the coffee. Coffee from Indonesian civets is considered to have the best aroma, and it is the unique enzymes in the civet's stomach which give coffee its bitter taste. It retails for USD100 to USD600 per pound but only around 1000 pounds make it to market each year and supply is very limited. A small coffee house (Heritage Tea Rooms) near Townsville sells the coffee for AUD50 per cup, alongside limited international stores such as Selfridges in London.
