“hands down my favorite coffee shop. The two girls behind the counter are so friendly and seem to know every customers order by heart. The coffee is always delicious and the service is always quick; everything served with a smile! i’d give more than five stars to this store and their staff!“

“Adorable place. The 4 of us got breakfast here Easter Sunday. The tofu scramble was awesome no fake cheese or unnecessary ingredients. We enjoyed the crunch wrap and the waffle was insanely good you good tell it was fresh and it was dense. We also had the chick’n which we enjoyed and the tempeh bacon. After we did take home peanut butter and cookie doe truffles which were shockingly good. We will definitely be back and recommend this place highly.You pick up a menu at the entrance and order all up front and then the food comes out in to go boxes. You can eat there or outside seating“

“Impeccable service. Always welcomed with a pleasant smile on your face. The food is simply incredible! Cheese bread, cornbread, breads of various qualities. High quality coffee and the best cheese bread I’ve ever had in my life! I strongly recommend.“

“Can't say enough good things about the Vintage Cake! I've used them for a couple of events now and the food has always been jaw-droppingly delicious! Their desserts are truly a work of art - so beautiful and soooo delicious! You really feel it's top quality ingredients. I will only ever order from The Vintage Cake for any event! Highly highly recommend.“

“One of the best bakeries in NJ. You cannot go wrong with a single item. The fruit and cream brioches are my favorite. They are topped with seasonal fruit and are so fresh. The coconut cream donut may have been the best donut I’ve ever had. The scones are so delicious. The macarons are another favorite. Unique flavors and they are the size of your palm. I travel over an hour (each way) to get here and I promise you it’s worth the trip!“

“This cake supply store has everything you could possibly need and more. Any time I need a supply or a burst of inspiration I take a trip to shore cake supply. I recently ordered a custom cookie cutter I needed for a last minute order. Not only were they able to accommodate me but it was ready for me quickly and came out perfect. Thank you Shore Cake Supply!“

“Yesterday stopped in during a walk downtown to enjoy the beautiful weather. Staff was extremely friendly (as always) .Decided to try something new, so I had the Haulin Oats (Oatmeal Raisin Cookie). I must say as someone who loves Oatmeal Raisin Cookies…this was the absolute best I’ve ever had. Highly recommend, I’ve also tried their cupcakes and cinnamon rolls also very tasty. Never disappoints!“

“Been to this awesome shop many times. Last night I was gifted with free donuts ?. OMG HANDS down the best I've had. I'm glad I saved rhem from being discarded. A BIG thank you to the nice guy working there. This place is a must. Enjoy ?“

“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.“

“This place is amazing! Oodles and oodles of delicious treats! So much to choose from. I stopped in to get a gift for a sick friend. Kathleen helped me pick out the best they had. She was so “sweet” and helpful! Very much appreciated her great service. Will definitely be back!“

“My sil brought the party box over and omg the oatmeal mallow sandwich was amazing!!! The crumbl by me was not a great experience because the cookies were dry and a bit sweet, this location and getting 12 cookies proved me wrong that even though it is a chain, certain stores execute better than other. Would reco this and the oatmeal cookie, it's soft and chewy and so yummy“

“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!“

“They were very attentive. Staff was amazing. They answered questions and helped me immediately. Besides the macaroons, the tarts, the cookies, and the quiche, the fruit parfait that I got was probably the best that I ever ate in my entire life. No lie!“

“I absolutely love J&M bakery in Middletown, NJ! Their pastries are unmatched, and I can't imagine going anywhere else for baked goods. While I have respect for other local shops, J&M's pastries, especially the lobster tails, are to die for. The filling is divine, and you won't be disappointed. They are definitely a staple for my family on Sunday. And J&M's commitment to traditional Italian recipes and high-quality ingredients shines through in every bite. If you're in the area, make sure to stop by and taste the difference for yourself. J&M bakery is a true gem!“

“Studies show the Amazon will be gone in under 60 years. Brazilian beef is the #1 culprit. But this place sources from US beef distributors only. So it's not so bad. But still... try to eat less beef. It will drive down the price and demand of Brazilian beef imports.“

“Wonderful fresh bakery. Friendly service. Absolutely spotless. Their cookies are amazing. Especially their peanut butter cookies. You can actually get a slice of cake. They had breakfast items, cupcakes, cakes, cakes to order, and coffee. Delicious!“

“The coffee was really good but the corn muffin I got was so stuck to the paper that it fell apart into pieces and was really hard to eat. It may have been a little dried out I'm not sure. The premises was clean and neat. I would come back.“

“This place is delicious, reasonably priced, and overall wonderful. The cakes, cookies and cupcakes are amazing and fresh. Same with the bread. Being a north jersey girl, I’ve had a hard time finding a good bakery around here and south but this by far is the best. Super tasty and authentic.“

“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.???“

“I have had JB Couture Cupcakes from different events and everything was always so wonderful. She just made a smash cake and entire dessert table for my son’s first birthday party and everything was perfect! She was so great to work with, completely understanding of the concept and designs I wanted and went above and beyond in making sure everything was perfect for the day. Not only did everything look great, but her desserts are absolutely delicious! Everyone at the party raved about them, do not hesitate to JB Couture for your next event!“

“I know a good bagel from years of working in Manhattan and the bagels here are as good as any I had in the City and adjacent boroughs. Fresh out of their ovens @ 6 AM you'll never get a better one unless you hit "Hot Bagels" in Oakhurst or the bagels from a place in Red Bank--sorry can't remember the name.“

“So happy you guys reopened, a staple of my childhood! Best bagels at the Jersey Shore hands down, and now they offer delicious homemade spreads! I got the mini with Veggie cream cheese and that will be in my weekend rotation from now on. Also the entire place is sparkling clean. I can't believe its the same place. Bravo!!Vegetarian options: Limitless veggie options!“

“A bit overpriced but their ice cream flavors are rocking! They had a nice seating area outside, their facilities and shop was well kept and clean. Customer service was great! She was very patient with my daughters. I would definitely return to try their other ice cream flavors. Toasted stores ice cream cone was hands down like a campfire taste. You have the option to order any type of cookie or brownie to create your ice cream sandwich. We had a brownie sandwich which could two adults can eat.“

“Goodquality Mexican food. Shrimp Diablo was quite tasty! Place was relatively busy but not hectic. Food is freshly prepared. Complimentary chips and salsa are the perfect accompaniment. Service was nice. The bakery display looked delicious. Will have to swing by for some pastries.“

“Kosher bakery with everything you can think of. They offer cakes, cookies, bread, challah, pastries etc... and even sell pizza and sushi. This bakery is the go to bakery in this town and is extremely popular. The pi,za and sushi can have very long waits in the summer especially during peak hours.Dietary restrictions: Fully kosher yashan pat n chalav yisraelParking: Easy to find parking on street on regular days. During peak season parking can be rough.Kid-friendliness: Very kid friendly“

“Today was my first day going to Hot Bagel and I thought the bagel was very good. I ordered a plain bagel with jalapeno cream cheese but unfortunately there was not much cream cheese on the bagel. The bagel with the jalapeno cream cheese was very good, I just wish there was more cream cheese on it. Next time I will just ask for extra. The restaurant was very clean with a very cool atmosphere. The workers were very friendly and helpful. When I was ordering I did not realize that they did not have a kitchen to make a bagel sandwich, such as bacon and egg. It would be nice to see them add that element to the business because I think more people would come for those type of sandwiches. With that being said I still did enjoy my breakfast from there and if you're in the area I suggest you give them a try for yourself. If you like my review please give me a thumbs up and a follow for more. Cheers“
