Onto Coffee Brings in the Crowds

 

Onto Coffee has opened in Belmar in the space at 7150 W Alaska Dr. that has been home to several coffee shops over the last twenty years.

With an Asian-inspired menu (think matcha, ube, and hojicha lattes and egg salad spam "sandos"), Onto Coffee appears to be a hit, with a line of people waiting to order every time I've wandered by.

I haven't tried anything off their menu, and their interior decor is a little spartan for my taste (I prefer coffee shops that encourage a little lounging, something Onto Coffee, with its straight backed chairs and shared counter tops, clearly isn't going for). A business that brings in the crowds, however, is a definite win for downtown Lakewood and the Belmar shopping district.
