“Great dinner with new ownership last year they are now open for breakfast lunch and dinner all year on beautiful Long Beach Island. The staff is friendly very family-oriented and the food is fantastic.Kid-friendliness: Family place kids welcome!“

“What an amazing find. Went for take out before the Friday Fire Pit in Brant Beach. Our family ordered 2 “seasonal Salads” and one Asian mango salads. Wow, homemade dressing, the freshest of ingredients, and at a cost of $5. Less than anywhere on the island. We also ordered the amazing French fries and their house special grilled cheese with a slice of tomato. Yum and yum. Again at a bargain price. The staff and owner could not have been more accommodating. They could not do enough for us while we waited offering us water and a bench. Everyone was smiling, singing and so happy. We will definitely return tomorrow to try their breakfast and their dinner!“

“OMG!! This Pork Roll Egg and Cheese on a plain bagel just ooooozed of tasty goodness. Stopped in this bagel shop while visiting LBI and the owner was very enviting. Staff very friendly. I ordered this sandwich and sensory overload. It was so good. I highly recommend to anyone looking for a good bagel.“

“What a hidden gem!! Breakfast and lunch only, but quite an array of choices (4 types of Eggs Benedict to Lobster Roll, salads platters, pancakes, etc.). You will not leave hungry. Portions are plentiful. If you are having 6 or more people on a weekend or holiday,, make sure to reserve a table or you will be waiting. Also a small bar. Outdoor dining and drinks in season. This is now the new go-to place for family gatherings. Dock side service for boats, too.“

“I come here a few times a week especially when it's warm out. I love everything about this place. The staff is super friendly every time and are patient with me and my kids. My kids really enjoy coming here as well and I try to bring them in for a special day out with Mom. They love the babyccino, Tiny Dancer and the pastries.I've met the owner a few times and every time I see her she is polite and friendly.Went last week with my 8-month-old and a friend for the beginning of our weekly brunches there while our older kids are in school. I was absolutely shocked with how the place looked. The upgrades are phenomenal and I cannot wait for another great season with you guys.“

“I never write reviews ever. That being said I had the notorious p.I.g and it was everything I’ve ever wanted in a breakfast Sandwhich. My daughter had the blueberry muffin and kept saying how good it was as she was eating it. ( shes 5). I had a large ice coffee with a shot of espresso very good coffee. All of that for under $20 dollars. The prices are great. Also the man with the beard who made my Sandwhich i didn’t get his name. Was very friendly and actually seems like he cares about customers. Any local who hasn’t eaten here yet do yourself the favor and come here. Like another reviewer said I’m surprised there isn’t a line out the door.And to the non locals stop here on your way home grab a coffee and a Sandwhich you won’t be disappointed.“

“Breakfast sandwiches are very generous but get the egg white cheese and veggie sandwichThe pastries always call my name. Love the cheese puff danish and sugar cookies. But everything looks amazing! Also they do a great Thanksgiving sandwich. They have a nice selection of prepared take out food. And in winter there months they offer a cup of coffee with any breakfast sandwich! ?❤️P. S. They have an all season area to dine in.“

“A dreamy iced coffee that I can't wait to come back and enjoy again. They have small and large sizes, a variety of flavorings, and you add your own milk choices (regular, 1/2&1/2, almond, other). Just a lovely place, great atmosphere and perfect for stopping in or staying to work.“

“My new favorite spot in Manahawkin! Stopped in for the first time last week with my wife and we absolutely loved it. I am a huge fan of the Lumberjack platter and if you think ihop’s pancakes are good you HAVE to try them here. Best pancakes I have ever had. Looking forward to trying other items on the menu.Very underrated atmosphere, almost a throwback cafe feel with great service. You have a customer for life here.“

“They have a plethora of baked goods as well as many different types of coffee, and all of them, to say the least, are amazing. The coffee comes pretty quickly even on busy days when the line can stretch out of the parking lot. One little thing I like is all of there prices are to an exact dollar like a coffee is 3 bucks exactly. It's a nice place, and the air conditioning makes it so much better on hot days.“
