In an old train station, like the name says. Outside, they have the history of the railroad along the walking path that follows the old track. Inside is art and opportunities to buy local crafts. The food was delicious. We got two egg & cheeses - one on a croissant & one on focaccia bread. The focaccia bread had a light buttery sour dough taste. The croissant was flaky and soft. The eggs were seasoned wonderfully with the cheese folded in. While we were there, we noticed a few people hanging out enjoying the company of each other. Some were playing a board game, while others were chatting with one another a table away.

Visiting friends in Merchantville where The Station is an essential daily part of their lives and I can understand why. Adorably situated within a repurposed, local train station, the vegan and vegetarian menu is near second to none. The coffee: also superb. Best grilled cheddar panini I've had. I purchased some local blueberry honey and an artisan tile from their vast array of local wares. This is the sort of cafe every town needs: a community hub, an arts center, and a culinary, caffeinated therapy spot where all souls are welcome. I won't lie... I absolutely fell in love with the barista wearing those phenomenal bee earings. Wish I'd stayed in town long enough to become acquainted. Style, service, selection. One of the great cafes I've found in all my US travels.

I have lived near this gem for years, and I finally got a moment to stop in. My oat latte was really good. When you dine in, they give it to you in an actual glass cup. I ordered the organic eggs, provolone and red peppers sandwich. It wasn’t a preheated ultra processed sandwich, it was a delight. I sat in the cafe area. It was slightly busy, but people were still able to get their work done. I will come back. FYI this is a vegetarian cafe.

After showing some homes, I popped in this cute spot - The Station Coffee House. I have read that they have delicious scones, so of course it was on my list! Like the name implies, it’s an old converted train station. They have been in business for around 10 years. First, everything about the layout and its contents follows an ultra-charming vibe. There is plenty of seating in the dining area. There is also plenty of local art and cultural knick-knacks for sale. There’s even a list of events for the public. All-in-all, a very inviting and engaging space. Then there is the menu...so diverse! From ice cream to sandwiches, from scones to breads. I chose to test drive two of their traditional scones (lemon and blueberry) and after chatting with the baker, I grabbed a slice of cannoli bread, too. My fave? The blueberry scone. Although the icing was amazing on the lemon scone. I highly recommend checking this cafe out for yourself. I think there is something for everyone. Next time, I plan on trying a sandwich with one of their seasonal scones for dessert. #scones #trustkj

I visit with my daughter at least weekly to enjoy a cup of their coffee options and fresh pastries. We’re always greeted warmly by staff and patrons. The quality of the baked goods always blows me away. Most recently, we tried the apple cider donuts and wow, I don’t know how they’ll top those.
