Asbury Park Roastery is a small coffee roasting company that opened its doors in February of 2007, at 803 2nd Avenue, between Main Street and Memorial Drive. Alli Kennedy gave up a traditional office job to take a chance on her dream of owning a coffee shop in a City she saw brimming with renewed positive energy. After her initial success, another location opened in the Grand Arcade of Convention Hall on the Asbury Park boardwalk in 2012.

Her philosophy is simple – make it good – from the product offerings and customer service, to forging positive relationships with both customers and suppliers.

Both shops specialize in selling freshly roasted coffee, primarily fair trade and organic by the bag or by the cup. Tables and seating are available.

APR also offers a line of fine-quality, organic loose- leaf teas, as well as an assortment of coffee and tea related accessories and confections.
