Genus Boni

Genus Boni is a unique retail and cafe hybrid in downtown Metuchen. The shop specialises in thoughtfully curated toys, handcrafted puzzles, model kits and board games for all ages, featuring imported and artisanal goods you won’t find at big box stores. Shoppers can stroll the aisles to discover imaginative playthings and hobby supplies, or they can sit down in the adjoining cafe to enjoy a cup of premium loose‑leaf tea. The tea menu showcases a rotating selection of Chinese and herbal infusions, which are brewed to order and served in elegant teaware. The relaxed environment encourages visitors to slow down and savour their drink while browsing a book or trying out a small game. Friendly staff are passionate about the products they sell and are happy to share stories behind the items. Open most afternoons and early evenings, Genus Boni offers locals a peaceful gathering place to explore, shop and sip in the heart of town.
