I am remembering the time I used to spend at this café back in 2014–2016, when I was studying at Rutgers. I would often ride the bus from New Brunswick just to visit this café. I remember their coffee drinks and cookies being a real delight. What I particularly loved about this location on Witherspoon Street was its skylight. Whenever I settled in for a study session, I would always try to find a spot beneath it, nearby, or close to the doors. ❤️ PS. The picture is from the last day in July of 2016.

Small World Coffee in Princeton is a great place whether you want to enjoy a coffee alone or spend some time with friends. The atmosphere feels welcoming and comfortable, and one thing that stands out is the free Wi-Fi, which makes it a popular spot for many students who come here to work on assignments, study, or simply browse the internet. It’s also a convenient place if you’re in a hurry and need a quick coffee to go, since takeaway service is easy and practical. The service is quite good and fast, which always makes the experience better. If you find yourself in Princeton, it’s definitely worth stopping by, especially if you need free internet, a place to sit for a while, or just a good coffee on the go.

My favorite coffee shop in Princeton. Definitely get their iced chai (super spicy) or a cold brew with vanilla syrup. Love all of the pastry options and pretty much everything is house made!

Good coffee and atmosphere. Much better than the national chains. The cakes a treats are supper(get there early for a large selection). Unfortunately all of the tables rock and spill your drink.

Small World Coffee is definitely a Princeton staple, if you’re in town, you have to stop by! My daughter and I are regulars here, and for good reason! We love our Saturday early-morning breakfasts — there’s always a great selection of sweet options, plus a few savory ones. The coffee, tea, and especially the matcha are exceptional. Honestly, the matcha here is unparalleled. We’ve tried all the hyped-up spots in NYC, and none of them even come close to Small World. It’s cozy, local, and full of that authentic Princeton charm.
