“From the most boutique stores in the tri-state area!
Wow, you guys really overdid yourselves.
Was not expecting such great items.
The soup was delicious. Sourdough was crunchy and yummy.
Felt like I was back in the days when they really cared and put in real love to each in every item.
Each galaxy was cooked and plated to perfection.
When in the winter, so it wasn’t so packed, but they say in the summer, you can’t get a seat for two hours.
This place is a one of a kind.
Thanks for the awesome lunch!
We will be back!“

“Very chic space, love the large variety of gift options, all nice elegant and with a feel of uniqueness.
Flowers also look well curated and bouquets nicely put together.
Ordered two iced coffee mocha, per my preference it felt a bit water down, also ate the blueberry scone and Brooklyn blackout, they were yummy!!!“

“My boyfriend and I go there at least once a month , each time we go we are treated like kings and queens !! The staff is excellent well respected and high honored in professionalism!! The food is always excellent and colorful !!! We both are in this field working with adults with special needs , we are honored every time we go there !!! Some restaurants need to take lessons from this place !! If there was ten stars or more that is what i would give them !!“

“Just found this little gem of a place. Got the grilled chicken sandwich. It was really good. Plus they have poppi soda which is always a plus. I wish they offered bread options with the sandwiches instead of just rolls. My sandwich on sourdough would have been perfect. Great place. I will be ordering a lot from here“

“10/10 food delicious! Customer service Excellent! Can’t wait to go back ! A must try!“

“The best breakfast and service locally! Wow. The portions are generous, the food absolutely delicious, biscuits OMG, and the kind staff who are so hard working….this is the absolute best spot!“

“I really enjoyed my breakfast at Ray’s Café. Everything was very delicious. I was sitting outside, enjoying a beautiful weather. My server was very attentive and I really appreciate it. It’s not an upscale restaurant, but a very popular. Highly recommended.“

“Delicious, quality desserts & great service.“

“Great Place- Great Food“

“Your Gingerade was amazing!!! Is there anything beside honey, lemon and ginger in it???“

“Been going here for years. Me and my wife's go to breakfast spot. Food comes out fast and fresh. She always has the chilaquiles and I always have the western omelet. Same great attentive staff for years and even the cook will greet us when we get in. You won't be disappointed.“

“Picked up 4 lobster rolls this afternoon. Incredible! Corn salad was equally amazing.😗“

“Absolutely loved this place and so glad to have found it on a recent trip to Asbury.

We tried the Americano and a bagel - both were excellent. Good enough that we made time to go back before heading to the train and bought some Black & Tan beans to take home, which are also so good!!

Not many tables but that wasn’t an issue for us. The fact that you can see them roasting the beans is a nice touch as well.“

“Wonderful, friendly owners! Coffee is delicious and the greek baked goods/desserts are fantastic! Bonus... you can hone your greek language skills 🩵“

“What a wonderful spot to catch a meal. The atmosphere is simple with plenty of room to grab a seat. We popped in when it was staffed by just one of the owners on staff for the day but he made sure to square us away as quickly as he could. We ordered two breakfast sandwiches and a short stack (3) of pancakes and every bite was DELICIOUS. Even down to the small side of salsa which may have been the best salsa I’ve ever had. They take pride in their food. But even more, I had no idea what the history of the place was. Hugely community driven, they’re passionate about taking care of their community. It’s a wonderful story we got the chance to hear directly from one of the owners. If we were locals we’d be regulars . Highly recommend this spot!!!“

“Frequent customer, but always blown away with the freshness of their summer menu. The shrimply the best tacos, which was originally on a tostada last summer, was just as amazing, but didn’t sit as heavy as a tostada. Love the move to a light tortilla. The Mexi-Avo toast was so filling and the flavors melted together so nicely. Don’t forget the decor inside is so cozy, boho/havana vibe and perfect for a date or girl’s brunch. 10/10“

“Great coffee and croissant. I will be back.“

“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!“

“Pops bagels are the best bagels on the jersey shore. The chicken salad with lettuce and bacon on everything bagel can't be beat! Delicious! And join the sandwich club buy 6 breakfast sandwiches get one free. Get the card at the counter and make sure they punch it every visit!“

“Love this outlet mall! Check it out!“

“I absolutely adored it here, the staff were all incredibly kind and fun to talk to, and the food was beyond delicious!! I felt super welcome here and stayed quite a while because of it. I will definitely be coming back, and 100% recommend this place for both food and vibes!“

“So glad I found this place on my trip to Asbury. Coffee was stellar, pastries were great (had a croissant bread pudding? Ummm... what?), and the service was wonderful and even better... the vibe.

True community spot and will be my go to on coming back.“

“the complimentary wifi is always welcomed when patronizing any establishment. as a first time visit to this location, it was very bright and open. i got a pick two for lunch and was asked abt my beverage but not if i wanted bread or an apple. perhaps they didn't have apples. idk🤷🏽‍♀️the bread i didn't eat bc i already had bread for my sandwich. i would have been nice to be asked my choices. the same way Ashley asked abt my beverage choice. it's always nice to be asked.“

“This spot is a gem! Hands down some of the best home-made breakfast sandwiches I’ve had in ages. If you’re looking for servers and a pro kitchen, this is not the spot for you. If the idea of a bangin’ home cook serving up breakfast sandwiches through a little side hustle out of her kitchen appeals to you, this is highly recommended.The pork roll egg and cheese and bacon egg and cheese were both favorites of my girlfriend and I.Be advised: cash only and if it’s busy you may have to wait. It’s a one person operation but it’s worth it. There are a few tables outside but this is really more of a grab and go place.“

“Amazing food and the service is great too. The portions are big, I get 2 meals! Come in for the baked items, so yummy!“

“Visited in June 2025 for brunch during business trip. This charming tea shop never disappoints - been coming here since my London days when friends first introduced me.\n\n**FOOD QUALITY:**\nOrdered the Devon Cream Tea (around £9) - absolutely perfect. Two fresh scones served warm (cut into 4 pieces) with clotted cream and jam. The scones are lightly toasted and incredibly addictive! - easily finished all 4 pieces. This is clearly what most customers come for, and rightfully so.\n\nPreviously tried their sandwiches which are also excellent - substantial portions with great flavors, perfect for lunch.\n\n**ATMOSPHERE:**\nAuthentic old-style British tea shop atmosphere. Traditional decor - quintessentially British experience.\n\n**SERVICE:**\nEfficient and professional staff. Not overly chatty but very competent and quick service once seated. No unnecessary fuss - just good, reliable service.\n\n**WAITING TIME:**\nReservations may be possible (worth checking ahead!) though I walked in and waited. Had 3 groups ahead of me during busy period. Recommend either arriving early or calling to check booking availability to avoid queues.\n\n**VALUE:**\nExcellent value at £9 for cream tea set. Generous portions with large pot of tea and two substantial scones. Quality justifies the price completely.\n\n**LOCATION:**\nClassic London tea shop experience in the heart of the city. Perfect stop during sightseeing or business breaks.\n\n**PERFECT FOR:** Traditional British tea experience, tourists wanting authentic atmosphere, locals seeking quality comfort food, no issue with solo dining which is good!\n\n**TIPS:** Arrive early to avoid queues, definitely try the scones, consider takeaway option\n\nThis is my go-to spot every time I'm in London. The scones alone make it worth the visit - truly the best I've had anywhere. Highly recommend for anyone wanting an authentic British tea shop experience.“

“Great food, good service, and I like how it’s a boat themed restaurant“

“Took the dog to the animal hospital nearby and stopped in for a cappuccino. I was impressed with the operation, and the different type of coffees and preparations. Definitely a great place for coffee.“

“The food was spectacular, great service, quick to get seated even though they were super busy. Not a single note.“

“Food is Amazing . Always bursting with flavors! I door dash from my work frequently and never disappointed only impressed“

“Really good food and great staff. Place was clean and accommodating. Yolo French roast was heaven. 🥵“

“I am leaving a production catering review. My Kitchen Witch provided catering to a large production crew and security where I work (a large historical building on Wall Street). I couldn't believe how quick and professional that My Kitchen Witch was in set-up, the meals, and the breakdown of their service. The food was excellent, especially the pork carnitas and Mexican street corn! I definitely highly recommend and would love to head to their cafe in Monmouth Beach, New Jersey!“

“Yummy My breakfast eggs and greens with avocado was amazing !“

“Jan. 2026
We went for lunch , our server was the only one there. I guess someone called out sick. She was extreamly pleasant and was hustling to keep everyone happy.
The food was okay. I ordered what was supposed to be a chance sandwich.
The chef needs to go to Hudson County to find out what it should look and taste like. But his sandwich was definitely edible.
The hot chocolate looked amazing, but not that great. Now there tea and coffee you could sit there for hours sipping away while watching the waves

Will definitely be going back.“

“Awesome food ! If you’re around ‘squan I recommend grabbing a bite here. Yum“

“Just a great, delicious cup of coffee .. and Mark has his shop running like clockwork“

“Wonderful place with great and different food combinations in their omelets, eggs, and sandwiches. Didn’t get to taste the pancakes, that looked amazing ! Love this place 😍“

“Panera makes rather good and unique sandwiches and salads. They don't seem to have a large variety on the menu, but what they make I think is pretty good. I do enjoy their bread, especially with soup. Like being able to customize the salads with the toppings and everything on the screens. For me this is a nice convenience.“

“The food !! Everything is fresh & yums!! They also made corn pancakes ( don’t judge til you’ve had them 😊) not on the menu for myself & my bff!!“

“Nothing fancy, but excellent food and service with a smile …. One of my favorites.“

“If you are looking for a custom cake that looks amazing and tastes delicious, I highly recommend Cups & Cakes in Rumson. Denise and her team created a wonderful cake for our daughter with her college logo/High School grad. Everybody loved it! They go above and beyond to make your vision a reality! Thanks, Denise!“

“The Best. Sumatra , pumpkin Spice Oh love.“

“I tried the iced latte with oat milk, it was sooo good, really enjoyed my morning coffee. I posted a video on TikTok and mentioned you ✨.

“Very quaint, cozy place to have breakfast and lunch!! Open til 3 pm!!!“

“At the moment you come to that place the waiters give you a great feeling. Very comfortable team, it is a nice place to pass time with buddies or with your date. heavenly cuisine, experienced chef, decent price and generous service. Highly recommended.“

“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!!“
