“I really like this place! I had a coffee and it was good. Since it was my first time here, the bakery was crowded inside, which limited indoor seating, so I had to sit outside—but I didn’t mind. The service was a bit slow with a moderately long line, but the bakery was clean and the staff were friendly. I’ll definitely be returning and recommend giving this place a try!“

“Mav's Top Buns was absolutely wonderful as we went there for the first time in March 2026. We got a box of an OG, a blueberry crumb, thin mint and banana pudding. They were all absolutely delicious with just the right amount of doughiness and sweetness, without being overly sweet as many buns often tend to be. Service was terrific as well and the new owners are great people, who seem to truly care about both their customers and their staff. We'll definitely be back for more buns. Can't wait to see what flavors they come out with next!“

“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!“

“Stopped by for breakfast after a hike around Rocky Point Trail. I had the ham and cheese croissant and my friends had the almond croissant. They were both phenomenal. I'm a savory fan so the thick salty ham at the center made me happy. The almond croissant had some chocolate and was decadent as well. The interior is so pretty with its pastries and decor. Service was quick and we were able to sit at their tables outside and enjoy our croissants in the nice weather.“

“I highly recommend Edible Art Custom Cakes & Chocolates !!!I have been using Debbie for years!! My friends and family always, always, always rave about how beautiful her cakes are and how delicious all of her desserts taste!!!Debbie only uses the finest and freshest ingredients and doesn’t skimp on anything!! Her attention to detail is impeccable and her expertise and knowledge is impressive!!Debbie knows exactly how to turn my vision into a beautiful, delicious masterpiece! Every single time!!!!“

“This review is LONG overdue, but this past October, Sophie had a cake prepared for my boyfriend’s 25th birthday. It was coming up really soon and I still hadn’t gotten a cake. I came across Sophie C’s Sweets on Facebook and saw how talented she was. I messaged her on a Monday, asking if she’d be able to bake me a cake by the following Saturday, and to my surprise, she was able! The ordering process was super smooth and the pricing was very reasonable. When I picked up the cake, she had it beautifully presented, and it looked BETTER than the reference I had sent. Let me tell you, when we finally had a bite, this was the BEST cake I’ve had in my entire life. I’m not exaggerating. If you’re looking for someone to make your custom cake, don’t think twice, get it from Sophie C’s Sweets!“

“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!“

“Everything was delicious nice place good service“

“My home away from home! Or is my home my home away from home? Either way, come visit me sometime! <3“

“Awesome bread. The bread room is open to the public and they also do wholesale. Rustic Italian sesame seed loaf as a baguette style is amazing. Buy 3 if you want 1 to make it home!“

“My kids love to stop in every time we come to the beach. Nothing better than a good cookie or cake after a long day of play. The lobster tails are delicious and light to the crunch!! Highly recommend🙌🏽“

“These cookies are so easy to prepare. They start out as frozen balls of cookie dough that you arrange on the included parchment paper then bake! After just 15 minutes, you have the perfect chocolate chip cookie. Moist and chewy with melted chips inside and a crisp, golden cookie finish on the outside. Delicious and made right here in NJ. Buy local, eat deliciousness!“

“I have had these Bundt cakes for many occasions and they are always delicious. The staff at the store is always pleasant and polite. The store is so cute and always clean and organized. Thank you making our events so special 😍“

“Amazing food, friendly staff, delicious coffee🖤“

“I had a wonderful experience at Paris Baguette in Red Bank! Regina was incredibly helpful, friendly, and attentive throughout my visit. She went above and beyond to answer my questions and made sure I had everything I needed. The bakery itself was clean, welcoming, and had so many delicious options to choose from. I’ll definitely be back, and I hope to be helped by Regina again!“

“What a choice of bagels and cream cheese! I worked with Maria for a special event for the PR Council of Greater AC. She was more than helpful and the bagels were fresh and delicious! We will be back every time! Thank you!“

“I wanted to come on here and let you know that the Middletown location has an AMAZING General Manager, Tricia. I ordered a specific birthday Bundt cake online for my niece’s birthday who was coming to visit me and I requested to have it delivered since I was busy prepping her favorite dinner. To my surprise when the delivery arrived I received a Halloween decorated cake. I called the store which is when i spoke with Tricia. She handled my issue with such impeccable customer service and resolved it immediately. Tricia, you went above and beyond and for that alone you will forever have me as customer at your Middletown, NJ location. I appreciated everything you did for me!! Nothing Bundt Cakes I hope you recognize what an asset you have on your Team.“

“This is a little mall area that has a plethora of shops and businesses. Not the place to go if you are looking for something of everything, but there’s a ShopRite here that is pretty good. Not a bad place if you live in the area. It is accessible and parking is OK, even on crowded weekends.“

“Been going here since it opened, as a great place to sit in the sun outdoors, or inside at the various seating options. Fine coffee, great service from long time friendly staff members here, and a top place for casual meetings on the West Side of Red Bank. Limited but tasty food options.“

“always a traditional mexican bakery my favorite place!!“

“Great place to shop for fresh frozen food“

“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!“

“Best bagels in the area!! Hands down!!“

“Unfortunately they have been on the down slide cannoli cream was sour and Napoleon pastry were stale. Surprise how bad they got“

“Cake my husband bought was green molded“

“Just got back from France for a month and the coffee was watered down.. I landed and immediately came here lol! The place smells like and old wood barn, it has a an upstate sort of feel. The manager is so kind and knows everyone. Its be best coffee Ive had and I live in NYC with about 10 cafes in my local area. THIS place ranks the best.“

“why do you close so early??? I think of pretzels I think of snack at night.“

“Mexican restaurant with an exquisite flavor in every dish you taste, very friendly service in a warm family atmosphere.

Mexican restaurant with an exquisite flavor in each dish that you taste, very friendly attention in a warm family atmosphere.“

“Sandwiches are delicious! Closest thing around here to a NYC deli. Staff is pleasant & courteous.“

“We were there on Monday of Labor Day Weekend and the staff and the place was amazing! You can imagine the rush when you go to a place like that on Labor Day weekend, add on top of that exhausted parents and over stimulated kids and it’s a recipe for disaster. But they were so patient and amazing and considerate and helpful when we were there. The portions are insane. The cookies are beyond amazing, still fresh 3 days later! And you’re on the beach. What more could you ask for? I’ll def be back!“

“Just the best little coffee shop around! I'm not a big coffee guy, but they have an Malt Cold Brew that I get with oat milk that is heavenly and surprisingly doesn't give me the jitters like so many others do. Other times, their Iced Matcha Latte (also with oat milk) is just the right amount of refreshing that I need when stumbling into work there at Bell Works. But, if I'm really being honest, it is the staff there that keeps me coming back each day I work from the office. I feel like Norm from Cheers when I walk in, greeted by name with my customary order already on its way to being made and I don't even need to give them my name or phone number for the loyalty program, such is their attention to customer service. Do yourself a favor and stop by and tell them Gary sent you.“

“Fanagle has always been a local staple in Long Branch and admired by so many locals for decades. Yes, sometimes there are long lines… however, this is telling of the quality of food Fanagle provides. I’d be more concerned if the place was empty, which, it never is. Once again, a good sign.

It is an over the counter ordering establishment and the staff always brings you your order to your table if you have chosen to eat inside. Due to the increased traffic and long lines the staff can understandably be overwhelmed and most likely annoyed by the amount of rude customers that walk in there. In fact, they do a wonderful job dealing with people who are not so kind.

Krystal and team always say hello and I have never had a bad breakfast at Fanagle. The bagels are amazing, the breakfast sandwiches will cure anything in about 30 seconds and I love the old school vibe. The last thing we need in NJ is another bagel place that looks like a hospital serving hospital food and Fanagle feels like home.

Fanagle is the staple we all grew up with and will continue to be one of our favorite spots.“

“Absolutely! Love the fruity pebble bagel❤️“

“I have been going to gems since they first opened in Keansburg! They have good food and I understand with food cost they had to raise prices. I wish they would put a little bit more on breakfast sandwiches for what they charge. Other than that they still taste great and the employees are always friendly!“
