35 Best Vegan Restaurants in Asbury Park

“I searched for a restaurant in Asbury that offered vegan, gluten free options and came across Reyla’s. I’m so happy I found this gem! I truly appreciate the thought that went in to create these dishes. Most restaurants don’t put much thought into offerings for people with dietary restrictions. There was something for everyone in our party. Every dish is thoughtfully crafted with an amazing flavor profile and presentation. We all loved each dish including dessert. Jules was our delightful server who was attentive, professional and great at her job.“

“I have been going to Ada’s for probably close to a decade if not longer. I am familiar with Ethiopian cuisine and she truly delivers every time. While I can’t speak to the other cuisines I have learned over time that her heart is in every dish. The doro wot is top! (Well it all is). The AP location is lovely. I can’t wait to go back, and that is coming from a Californian.“

“WE LOVED IT HERE! My friends are big Asian enthusiasts and loved the food, atmosphere, and kindness of the cook.

I could write more, but there are no other words to be said. Try it with an open mind and you’d be suprised.“

“The food was great, the atmosphere was excellent. Next time I'm back east, I'll be eating here again.“

“Food was excellent and great service“

“Really great sushi and perfect service!“

“The Apple Pie Ice Cream was the best ìce cream I have ever tasted.“

“Delicious, quality desserts & great service.“

“We visited the juice Basin on a trip to Asbury Park. The smoothies were amazing, service was friendly and helpful. It was a hot day and a long walk to get there. Was able to stay as long as we wanted too, to cool down. Very Much appreciated!!! It was a long walk from the beach, but was worth the trip.“

“We loved our ice cream sandwiches! Everything was delicious, portions big and prices fair“

“I highly recommend Confections of a Rock$tar! Hands down the BEST cupcakes around!“

“Unique & Homemade entrees and desserts as well as the diverse beverage options! So Delicious!“

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

“While we were too early to try anything off the menu, I wanted to thank this business for opening their doors (and bathroom!) to the people at the Pride Parade. The gentleman at the counter was sunny and kind and let everyone in. Most other businesses did not. We already have this place earmarked for our dinner after our next beach day. Thank you for being excellent humans.“

“If you're cruising through Uptown Asbury Park you must stop by here. Booskerdoo isn’t just your standard pitstop for caffeine; this is their main roasting mothership, and you can see (and smell when roasting) the serious business the second you walk up to the door.

Let's talk about that liquid gold. I ordered a hot latte with whole milk, finished off with a quick dusting of cinnamon over the foam. One sip and I was hooked, we’re talking a rich, velvety microfoam floating over espresso so balanced it could walk a tightrope. Naturally, because I never meet a light roast I don't like, I got a cup of their Guatemalan El Panal to go. Bright, clean, and really smooth. It’s proof these folks know exactly what they’re doing with a coffee bean. (I hope to get there some day in my micro roaster at home. lol).

Now, I didn't initially plan on grabbing a bite, but the pastry case is a complete trap. While those peanut butter and jelly bars almost lured me in, I ended up pairing my latte with a fresh cranberry scone.

It was a match made in coffee heaven. Flaky, tender, delightfully buttery, and studded with cranberries, it’s the exact kind of pastry that turns a quick coffee run into a full-blown Sit back and relax) lingering experience.

The real showstopper inside, though, is the giant Diedrich roaster sitting right out on the floor alongside literal pallets of green coffee beans. You see Booskerdoo beans popping up at spots all over the Jersey Shore, so seeing the actual industrial engine where the magic happens is really cool. My only minor tragedy of the day? The roaster wasn't firing while I was there. I would’ve loved to hear that machine humming and soak in the full aroma of fresh-roasting beans, but hey, that just gives me an excuse to come back tomorrow.“

“Ate at the boardwalk location during Sea Hear Now Festival. Did a pork and a beef taco with some of their cucumber salad. SO good. Tacos were a nice size and the different toppings that came in them were nicely portioned. Staff were friendly and made the recommendation of what to order. Will return.“

“great sandwiches, had “the General” and “The Bootlegger”“

“Laid back, excellent service. Amazing cocktails...Jalisco is burning--try it. And creative, delicious food.“

“Really loved Betty's Icebox! I tried the pineapple CBD popsicle and it was packed with flavor, while my son was just as happy with his regular pineapple pop. On top of the pops, they carry a great mix of ice cream flavors and a fun selection of candies. We’ll definitely be back for more!“

“Went there for the first time tonight for my wife and son's birthday. The food and drinks were excellent and the service was great. The staff are so friendly and welcoming. Will definitely go back!“

“Good ice cream. Went on a sunny Saturday in June, and there were 2 people working the shop; definitely not enough. The wait was unbelievably long despite the line being not that long. We waited at least 20 minutes with only 6-8 people in front of us.“

“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 😍“

“There are two outstanding things about this establishment: (1) the staff and (2) the food. The staff members (who I think are under new management) were so sweet and accommodating with questions. As I deliberated on which bowl I should get - their specialty mango or nutella bowl - a staff member suggested I get a combination bowl with whey protein. Coming from an intense workout, this bowl was absolutely choice. It was refreshing and made with love.

Be sure to come here for breakfast after your next workout. Try the half-Mango Glow Bowl/half-Nutella Bowl, or try the delicious Purple Mermaid Smoothie. Or trust whatever their staff recommends - it could be your next favorite.“

“Food is fantastic! Lots of artisan creations on super delicious bread! We are not vegan or even vegetarian but grab a bite here everytime we are in Asbury Park. Never disappointed!“

“Staff and management are great! highly recommend“

“Great restaurant, amazing sushi. Specialty rolls are better than any other restaurant in Asbury or the surrounding areas.“

“This is a really cute spot with some of the best ice cream I’ve ever had. If you’re on the boardwalk and looking for a treat, this is the only place I would recommend (I tried a few other places, but they were all disappointing).“

“Fabulous atmosphere, our food was perfection. We had margarita, pizza, eggplant, Parm, spaghetti, meatball. San Marzano sauce was fabulous. Would definitely come back again thank you Carly you were a great waitress.“

“The dinner menu is the best. You can’t pick a dish that isn’t delicious.“

“Great food and service. I got the veggie burrito and it was so flavorful. prices are reasonable and the portions are huge definitely a must go.“

“I've been a fan of Watermark for several years now. It's not just the beautiful ocean or boardwalk views from the terrace, or the food menu, but the overall vibe of Watermark itself and its patrons. Weather you're there for the music, lively atmosphere, people watching or that comfy fireplace, you will have undoubtdely found yourself a new go to night or day spot.“

“Not sure if Lisa and jess still work here but there the best. Soo happy it's back just hope the hours go to how it use to be. But still very happy it's back!!!!!! Went for brunch today and had the classic breakfast burrito and bloody Mary both 10 out of 10 sooo happy it's back!!!!!!!“

“Chill vibe - nice decor - food ok“

“I just had the best Cheeseburger that ever had at the Bond Street Bar and Grill that is tucked away and almost hidden on 208 Bond Street in Asbury Park, NJ. The It is a small bar and grill with a dark almost mystical ambiance on a small one-way street. The bar has a warm and welcoming personality featuring great food, good vibes, friendly staff all in an inviting space of a classic pub atmosphere.“

“Just left this diner. We stopped in for a late lunch. Me, and three of my girl friends went. Our food was delicious. I ordered the Delux Platter which was super delicious. Our server Micah was great. She had such a beautiful smile and was very attentive to our needs. My friend Megan is gluten free and Micah was able to suggest options for her to enjoy! She even recommended restaurants for dinner. Great diner, great staff.“
