Wholly Cow
1542 Main St, Elizabeth, NJ
Crema's Take
“Wholly Cow is a hidden gem in Elizabeth that's genuinely surprised visitors who weren't expecting much from Rahway—it's a pretty, comfortable spot with plenty of seating that works equally well for a quick espresso or a long afternoon of work. The baristas here are known for being genuinely patient and sweet, whether you're deciding between gelato flavors or ordering a carefully pulled shot, and the no-fuss menu keeps things approachable without sacrificing quality. It's the kind of place where you might come in for coffee and end up staying because the vibe is just right.”

We were there around 2:10 on Sunday, Dec 7. the girl working then she was so polite and so sweet and stunning. Just giving the time so you know who she is — she was great. The coffee was excellent too! the place is very pretty as well it was my first time trying there coffee and I loved it
A really cute spot in Rahway!? Who knew? I haven’t been to Rahway since the nineties so when I was told an industry meet up was happening there, I gave a hard side eye. But I was pleasantly surprised by the changes to the town, and this lovely little cafe is where they held it. It was such a nice vibe and how cool of them to let a large group like this take over part of their space. I had an oat milk hot chocolate that was vegan friendly and divine. And I loved all of the cows on the walls and even in the loo.
What a pretty coffee shop with plenty of comfortable seating and simple, easy to read options for coffee and gelato. Came here close to around noon on a Sunday when the place was empty. The barista seemed friendly and just the right demeanor for a coffee shop. Capuccino is just right in taste but lacked in design. This is not a deal breaker but just one of those cutesy things that I enjoy in a capuccino that sets one apart from the other coffee shops. Little snacks like cookies and muffins are also available to go with your coffee. Street parking only in this booming downtown area of Rahway not too far from the train station.
Decent gelato spot, service was good. We got 4 flavors, strawberry and rum n raisins were quite sweet. Green tea and dark chocolate very mildly sweet.
Tried a few flavors before narrowing down on our choices and the guy behind the counter was super patient and helping us with recommendations. Got 2 medium sized cups - stracciatella+pistachio , lemon tart+coconut. You get to choose 2 flavors for a medium sized and 3 for a large. Loved the pistachio flavor best. Overall, it seemed like a cute little spot to hang out.
