NJ just got the cozy ‘Gilmore Girls’ coffee shop millennials dream about

Like many millennial women, I was (OK, I am still currently) obsessed with the show ‘Gilmore Girls.’

Two chatty women making quick pop culture references while drinking endless cups of coffee in a quaint small town? Sign me up.

A new coffee shop and bookstore just opened in Morris County that looks like it’s straight out of Stars Hollow, and I know Lorelei and Rory Gilmore would be obsessed with it.

Chapters & Coffee in Pompton Plains

Offering coffee drinks, tea, books to read, and good vibes, Chapters & Coffee had its soft opening on May 1, 2026, and a grand opening ceremony on Saturday, May 9.

Locals are already excited, according to comments on the shop’s Instagram:

“I stopped in after my crochet class and the place is delightful and my drink was delicious!”

“Many congratulations. Your cafe and coffee are amazing.”

“Well, this looks too good to be true! Will totally be stopping in!”

If what they had at their soft open is any indication, their specialty drinks are worth checking out:
