“Amazingly friendly customer service, great food and coffee with a good selection of gluten free options.“

“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“

“What a gem! Super cute venue, perfect for intimate gathering or workshops! The food is amazing, the staff is the greatest and the atmosphere is very warm and inviting! Really enjoyed my time there!“

“Shore Good Eats N Treats catered our community party of 150+ women. Food was delicious. We got lots of compliments from attendees. They delivered and set it up. We had meatballs & ziti, garlic bread, Caesar salad and rolls. Ordered two gluten free meals and they were delicious. All accompaniments and serving utensils were included. Can't wait to sample their menu at future events.“

“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.“

“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.“

“My kids & I luv the variety of tea drinks, shakes & wraps. We go there all the time since they’ve opened & never a complaint. The staff is awesome! Gina, Bella, Aggie & all of them are just great �“

“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!!!“

“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!“

“We went there for dinner for the first time tonight and sat outside. Loved the atmosphere of the evening. The service and food were great. We will be going back soon.“

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

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

“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 dinner tonight. Sushi out of sight! Everyone’s meal was fabulous! Our server Brielle was so knowledgeable, her recommendations were spot on. She was so happy and her service was great! To top it off the ice cream was delivered to our table😋“

“When you get iced coffee they offer regular ice or a coffee ball. It’s a ball of frozen coffee so it doesn’t water down your drink as it melts. It was good. I also had a pumpkin muffin. It would be nice if there was a mocha on the menu though.“

“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.“

“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.“

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

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

“The Island Heights Bagelry has been a great addition to town! We get bagels & breakfast sandwiches here regularly and the staff is always friendly, caring & on point. We wish you lots of success and keep serving up a great breakfast!“

“I absolutely love Corner Bagelry! Every Friday, my husband and I make it a point to stop by and grab some bagels. Matt and his team are incredibly welcoming and friendly, making each visit a delight. The bagels are simply AMAZING! I brought a dozen to work, and everyone raved about how delicious they were and wanted to know where I got them. I can't recommend Corner Bagelry enough!“

“Went here after physical therapy as they are in the same building. The coffee was great- lots of selections- and the food was freshly made to order and delicious. I have had breakfasts and lunches here and always been pleased. They do tend to be on the 'health conscious' side which is nice! They offer a lot of things that you don't get in regular places. They also make smoothies and fresh salads. Go there even if you aren't going to the gym, p/t or a doctor appointment!!“

“The food was great! I ordered a crispy chicken sandwich and it was so fresh and delicious. Everything is very fairly priced. I can’t wait to come back!“

“Had an incredible meal. We shared a pizza as an appetizer and it was a cross between Neopolitan and thin crust. Delicious. I had the pork chop with vinegar peppers. Without question the best pork chop I've ever had. So tender and flavorful. The staff is friendly and attentive. Highly recommend.“

“Stopped by this weekend while waiting for the train. Food was awesome, staff was friendly. Good little joint.“

“Panera food is always good. But what really surprised me was the amazing service. The man at the drive thru was so nice and helpful to the point that it made my day better. The food came very quickly. I would give the service 10 stars if possible.“
