“This Dunkin is located in the main section of the area, easy to pull in pull out and have their own shared working. I stopped here to get some munchkins, donuts, and tea. This traffic is very friendly to take the order and able to pick up the order head out as fast as possible. The ambiance of the restaurant is like any it's like any other Dunkin but nicely maintained.“
“My son took me to lunch here as he's familiar with it from working in the area. I got the veggie burrito, figuring it would basic. Wow, wow, wow. I have never tasted flavors like that, and it was beyond amazing! The owner and employees couldn't have been more accommodating and I can't wait to go back. Oh, and my son got the burger. Again, not your basic burger. It was so, so good. The best burger I've ever tasted in my life.“
“Brandon was extremely knowledgeable and passionate about coffee, and has a wide variety of offerings at his shop. He told me that he experiments with different brewing methods (e.g. conical filter, flat filter, hybrid immersion drippers) for each coffee to ensure that every cup of coffee served is the best that it can be.As a former barista and coffee roaster, I can confidently say that Brandon puts more thought and care into each drink than the vast majority of cafes in NJ.I would highly recommend Brew Coffee Bar to anyone looking for a good coffee experience, but especially for people who will appreciate Brandon's extreme dedication to his craft.“
“Just Love Coffee is really nice! The food and drinks were pretty good and they have a great selection, but it is a bit pricy. It is a good place to bring kids too since it is very big for a coffee shop and it's casual in nature. The staff are also super nice!“
“Cappuccino with caramel shot - wildly good. Had two. My coffee rating: 9.5/10. This is going to be my go-to coffee spot. Also, the chipotle sammie had one of the best chipotle sauces I've had in my life (and I'm a big self proclaimed chipotle flavor connoisseur). Brioche + soft eggs + micro greens + that chipotle sauce = coming back soon.“
“I came to the establishment early as I was working in the area I ended up bringing home a bunch of different things home for my wife who is from Honduras. She loved everything I bought and two days later we went back she loaded up on nearly everything they had and I can definitely say we found our new spot to eat and cater from. The staff was extremely eager to help with all the questions we had all I can say is if you’re in the area give this spot a try you won’t regret it.Kid-friendliness: We had our 4 year old son the kind women gave my son a lollipop that made his time there a lot more fun“

“Booskerdoo Middletown donated hot chocolate for our local elementary school holiday event. It was such a hit! The kids loved the cocoa (peppermint and regular, mmmm) and it added such a special touch to the PTO organized family evening. Booskerdoo in general is great, but the Middletown location takes it a step beyond with their generosity, kind service, and personal touch from Jeff, the owner, who is almost always there making sure everything is running smoothly! You won’t get this type of caring and desire to be a part of the local community from just any coffee spot!Kid-friendliness: Great location for kids and a business that cares about the local community!“
“I've eaten at the Rise n Shine on occasion and find it's no frills local hometown vibe inviting. I prefer sitting at the counter old school and watching the traffic go by as I enjoy a delicious omlette. The owners are very friendly and welcoming, and the food is excellent.“
“I must have come on an off day. Staff and atmosphere were wonderful and friendly! The regular coffee however was really bad. It had no flavor or aroma at all. Almost like a warm cup of nothing. It wasn’t weak coffee, it just had zero coffee taste. If I drive for an hour and don’t take more than a few sips of a coffee, something is seriously wrong as i’ll drink gas station coffee to pass the time. I’ll give it another try next time I’m in town.“
“I love this place. It’s a welcoming, charming environment. The staff is friendly, polite and fast. They have a cool outdoor space you can enjoy on a sunny day and sometimes listen to the music of a local musician while enjoying your food and drink. I only partake in the coffee and it’s my favorite place in town, among several good options. Keep being awesome, CC!“
“Omg these donuts are scrumptious!!! could also be described as Fire if ya nasty. The best donuts around, there is no need to ever go to Dunkin Shmunkin again. No offense but the dunkin in matawan is the opposite of good! Also could be described as bad if ya nasty! But serious talk here lil bro. These donuts are for real the best! I am a tylenol, oops i mean type of person! Who loves sandwiches and donuts, and main st donuts does sandwich type donuts. My personal favorite is the Black out donut. And for valetines day they have a red velevet donut which is my favorite thing ever. Please get their donuts and support their establishment.“
“I have loved this place since the original in Little Silver when they were lunch and a small dinner venue. They had the best homemade soup. Now that they have expanded and our primarily breakfast and lunch the are still amazing. And I've been to multiple....Toms River, Long Branch, Sea Girt, Cherry Hill, etc. Consistent no matter which one you go to. And the coffee is amazing too. I love my French presses!“
“I have been coming to Steady Hand since the summer. Love the rotating menu options but the pistachio latte has been my favorite. So much my favorite that I also had to purchase the pistachio Good Good syrup to make it at home! And also can’t forget to mention Ashley, the owner, who is so friendly and always down for a chat while she is whipping up your drink!“
“Small cafe/diner offering breakfast and lunch. Nice menu offering a good variety. Tasty omelettes and sandwich options. We last visited on a Sunday and the place was quite busy, but seating was available after a short 5 minute waitThis place gets quite busy on the weekends. Meter parking available.“
“My husband and I drove up from Toms River for the Cannoli kit after experiencing it at a party . It was a Sunday and the girl behind the counter was very rude and said we don’t have any they need to be ordered a head of time , thankfully RALPH walked in and saved the day he went above and beyond to get us what we came for ! If you don’t know the lay of the store you shouldn’t be working there ! Customer service should be a priority and she certainly wasn’t willing to try helping . I will be back but hopefully someone who wants to help the customer is working!“
“Great ice cream flavors, very, very friendly staff working hard through all the long lines for many hours. After a day of swimming at the beach - chocolate brownie ice cream sundae with hot fudge and toppings - literally the cherry on top of a good day.“
“A great small coffee spot in Ocean Grove! Friendly staff and owner, great coffee, and a decent selection of teas. They display local art and have a couch and tables for seating. They offer good food that rotates with the season (quiche is my favorite).They also offer FREE bananas if you buy something! FREE BANANAS! That is awesome!“
“Very good breakfast. Hit the spot. Went around 10:30 place was full but was able to get a seat pretty quickly. I had a belly buster omelet and my mother had eggs over easy with a ham steak. We both had coffee. Hers was nice mine was hot. Our bill was roughly 10 dollars cheaper than most of the breakfast places we go to, only catch is CASH ONLY - but super worth it.“
“My last west coast trip spoiled me, and I'm on a quest to find amazing coffee near me (open to recommendations), so I'm trying new coffee places as much as I can. Busy Bee is inside a gas station, and has very good coffee. I had a caramel macchiato and it was a solid 7.5/10 (my coffee rating scale is as arbitrary as myself). There's also a generous collection of food offerings - I tried something similar to a deviled sausage (I didn't get its name) and it was delicious.“
“1st Cup Coffee is very reasonable & the coffee is delicious in the wonderful town of Atlantic Highlands. You will get great service as well. They have seating to come & relax or grab your coffee & go.1st Cup has an amazing room in the back that you can rent for a very low cost. I just had an event for my real estate business here & they treated me top notch with great coffee. If you need space for a local event or you are having a speaker, this is the place to be. You can not beat the price. I am planning my next event. Thanks Bob!! My guest loved the event.“
“These donuts are delicious but they really need to update their hours on Google and their sign. I just drove 45 mins from Tom’s River because it said they were open. Got here and they were closed even though the hours on the door said they should be open as well as on Google. I’m very disappointed :(“
“Sheer excellence! Everything here was perfect. From the energy, to the aesthetic, to the food and the portions, the staff, the mini shop out front, everything. The owners did an excellent job at creating this place and it shows in every single detail.“
“Perfect relaxing breakfast with the family. Seated right away on a Wednesday morning. Friendly wait staff and great service. Ordered The big easy benedict and huevos rancheros, a French press, German chocolate latte and 3 different hot chocolates (for the kiddos). Everything was delicious and fresh. The price is very good if not better than most common diners in this area. The food and coffee is 1000% better too. This is our favorite breakfast place when we visit NJ. Definitely recommend.“
“How can anyone not love Rook? Between the fun branding, and delicious coffee, and punk-rock resistance to BIG COFFEE, this company is the go-to brew of the Jersey Shore.Parking: Be careful and cautious with the shared parking situation as many are grabbing and going. That said, I've never not seen a space.“

“Just stopped in to grab their soup and some ice cream.I couldn't decide on just one soup so I got 2, the vegetable & lobster bisque and they are both so good. The flavors are delicious, the amount & variety of vegetables in the veggie soup are perfect. The lobster bisque it was a great portion of soup & lobster.Also, I've had there ice cream several times but always go back for my favorite Almond Joy.Their staff is always welcoming and pleasant too every time.Love this little gem in Keyport.“
“We ordered 3 pumpkin style cold brews! Each were $5 and this place is amazing. They don't charge extra for milk replacements. Go ahead and order your almond, oat milk or more! They got busier as we were waiting for our order. They sell merchandises like sweaters, cups and etc. Super cute! FYI the coffee is a little strong and typically it doesnt come sweetened- must ask for it!“
“Hands down, best peanut butter chocolate combo cups/ball I've ever had in my life. My hubs and I hid the box from our teenagers. I've had the cookies, brownies, cupcakes, and brownie cookies. All really great. Highly recommend. The service was above and beyond as well. They even wrote to keep cold on 1 box, which was really helpful. Thank you, Cravings!“
“We’ve been here a few times now and have never been disappointed. Today we went in and they must have over heard that it was my birthday. The girl behind the counter wished me a happy birthday and later in the day when I opened the box with my apple tart, there was a little happy birthday sign with it. It’s truly the little things in life and I appreciated it.“
“Have lived in NJ for almost 25 years. This is by far THE BEST pork roll egg and cheese I have had in the state. The way Johnny assembles this sandwich is perfection. Every bite you take from one of his sandwiches literally gets better as you are finishing it. From the fresh rolls, and freshly sliced pork roll to a perfectly cooked egg with just the right amount of cheese and SPK to hold it together. I can literally say as I took a bite from this sandwich my exact words were “WOW”. I’ll be coming at least once a week from Belmar just to get my fix. Keep killing it Johnny this place is awesome!“
“First place: per friendly, and for that reason alone the score is 100! Long live North America and its inclusive people. The service, the location and the service are like a bonus, and they are great! From now on, my daughter and I have become regular customers.“
“Average spot with premium prices.Another Voodoo Doughnuts clone without the whimsy, artisinal flair, or creativity. Looks like an NYC place with a hashtagged photo OP swing, NYC prices, but not NYC quality. Donuts are too sweet and will give you the sugar just from one bite.Ice cream, on the other hand...DAMN. Maybe it's because I got a cone in January snow but for $5 I got a packed cone plus 3+ scoops on top. I've never had flavored cones before, the salted pretzel with the salted pretzel ice cream was a top 10 cone ever.“
“Had to write a review of this place, it was so good! I got mint chip, and my dad got s'mores. The s'mores was so good I nearly bought my own! And the mint chip is one of the best I've ever gotten. Absolutely recommend going here, I'll be going back for sure! I'd give it 10 stars if I could.“
“A nice coffee shop on Broad Street in Red Bank. There is a lot of space and is a great place to park yourself and work. The space is bright and comfortable to relax in. They offer a variety of simple eats, baked goods and coffee beverages. They have specials like gingerbread latte. For some holiday cheer The staff is friendly and very helpful.“
“This café truly has it all! From top-notch customer service to a beautiful and inviting atmosphere, it checks all the boxes for a fantastic experience. The vibrant colors and cozy ambience create a warm and welcoming feeling that is simply delightful. The espresso machines are a must-try, and the sandwiches are delicious. The staff is incredibly friendly and attentive, adding to the overall positive vibe of the place. If you're looking for a café that excels in every aspect, look no further – this place is a gem! Treat yourself to a wonderful experience that you won't forget.“
“My go to coffee spot whenever I visit Red Bank. The family I stay with try to take me to starbies and I MAKE THEM go to Rook. The staff were patient with my boomers who didn't understand the menu. I like that it's an in and out kinda place. Get your Joe and bounce! Rook crew, you RULE!!“
“I received a gift card during the holidays for this coffee shop in Asbury. My first time in there, I didn’t know what to get and explained to the gentleman behind the counter, Matt , that I like nutty, sweet and caramel latte type of drinks. He suggested their pistachio shortbread latte, and it was amazing. I definitely would not have thought to try that without his recommendation. This was a great place, and I’ll definitely be returning!“

“I came to Sweet DaniB through a referral and all I can say from start to finish it was a most enjoyable smooth experience. Dani couldn’t be more pleasant and easy to communicate with. And when it came time to pick up my cookies the looked absolutely gorgeous, exactly what I wanted and tasted amazing. I will be adding Sweet DaniB’s To my go to entertaining list of vendors for sure.“
“Pretty good breakfast/lunch chain restaurant. Good selection of dishes, nice atmosphere, but I'm slightly disappointed as the last 4/5 times they did not get my order correct. Not sure if the service or the cook was responsible? Food is VG overall, just can't get it your way! Just missing the mark here for me...“
“Highly recommend this place !!!This place is amazing! They offered the best coffee and juices which ı like most Monmouth Power It has carrot,pineapple,orange and ginger.Always the best attitude to its costumers. I just want to keep coming back to this place.???“

“Ordered 20 breakfast sandwiches to bring to a work party. They had them ready for me right at 6:30am and even cut them in halves (as requested) and labeled what each was. They also packed up ketchup, salt, pepper, and napkins for me to take. The sandwiches were great. Their food is always great, classic breakfast food, but this time they really went above and beyond and I appreciated it a ton.“
“The service providers at this Dunkin are so kind and service is fast. They greet you like they are so happy to see you. The coffee, tea , sandwiches donuts are always fresh compared to other Dunkin’s in the area. And if there is a problem with your order they correct it with a smile. I drive out of my way everyday because of all I have mentioned and I tell all my friends to go there.“
“I don’t believe this place is amazing ? better than any similar place for me.She’s a great person and ice cream is so delicious, creamy, tasty and the chocolates made like different earth! ?Thank you so much your service and please keep open forever. ?Perfect clean and decorating ?? gorgeous“
“I love stopping in Hudson whenever I can! The coffee options are great between the hot brewed coffee and the cold brew. The hot brewed coffees are $3, while cold brews are $4. Some specialty cold brews like the caramel cream (a delicious homemade caramel creamer) are $5. There is a medium roast available for the hot coffee, as well as a dark roast and decaf. For cold brew, there are a few flavor options in addition to plain, and I love that they're all flavored without syrups or sugar. The food options are limited to the delicious, rotating selection of scones and muffins. All are always delicious, so you can't go wrong with any choice. The porch outside is the perfect seating area in the summer. The inside is also nice for in the winter, and has coffee beans, shirts, and cold brew concentrate for purchase. Everyone is always so friendly here, and if you're a regular they will know your order quickly! It is cash only, so just be prepared for that! If you're in Keansburg, stopping at Hudson should be a must!“
“Gorgeous, charming little cafe with beautiful pastries and delicious small plates. Had to knock off a star, partially due to the lackluster service, but mostly for the typos. If your whole gimmick is being a French style cafe and market, you should probably spell the French words on your menus correctly. Love absolutely everything else about this place though!“
“This Starbucks location is great! Large parking lot and store with plenty of space for working or studying. All seats have outlets, and the tables even have hooks underneath for your bags! The seating is comfortable and the tables are always clean. The staff is nice here, and the drinks always come out quickly. The drive through is also fast, and unlike some locations, won't block in all parking spots if the line is long. This is a great location if you're looking for a good spot to work or meet up with a group.“
“I gave The Perfect Perk Cafe 5 out of 5 stars ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️Why did the barista quit their job?They were fed up with the constant grind! ?Pros and cons here we gooo!Pros:• Nice sitting area indoor and outdoor• Cool modern decor• Fast and friendly service• Perfect temperature on the coffee (not too hot or warm!)• Nice variety of pastries• Clean environment• Honey and agave nectar options as sweetener• Good selection of non-dairy milk optionsCons:• None!

“This little hole in the wall has got to be a one of the greatest coffee places I discovered. The customer service was great and the coffee amazing. I can’t wait to try some of the whole beans that I purchased. Support local and support Asbury Roastery. Thank you so much for peeking up my morning and can’t wait to try the cheesecake balls.“
“This place was a pleasant surprise, me and my Friend went here and the food and service was great but after I left It my stomach stated to fell what I ate and it didn't like but over all it was a great experience and I might come back.“
“I’ve had the pleasure of partaking in dine in and take out on the same day. I was in town for work. I wish I lived closer because this place is great. The food is fresh, and well prepared. The cold brew was very good as well. Wonderful staff and great ambiance inside.“
