“The Bomber Sandwich is tremendous. Have known the owners for years. Always great 👍 food 🥘“

“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“

“This quaint café is absolutely adorable & cozy with delicious scones, muffins & drinks (we had lattes, matcha & cold brew). The staff is super friendly & attentive. The place was full of customers when we arrived, but we were helped immediately. The indoor seating is comfortable & limited ~ but there is spacious outdoor seating which was lovely, especially on a sunny Autumn day. I came with my family & we will definitely be back. Such a cute little gem off the beaten path in Brick.“

“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.“

“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???“

“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!!!“

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

“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😋“

“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“

“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!“

“We enjoyed our meal, great food and atmosphere.“

“This place is a Hidden Gem...I can't wait to go back for Sunset Friday night dinner!! My husband is the most critical person when it comes to Restaurants, BUT he LOVES the Food here, 😉😁 See ya soon!!!“

“First time there. Good food. The menu was amazing, there's so many choices for breakfast and lunch. The prices are appropriate for the menu options.
It was very busy, but the service was good. It was a Sunday, so I guess it is busier on the weekends. The outdoor dining area was busy even though it is November. Our server kept checking on us and apologized about the wait for our food. I will go back on a weekday to try it again.“

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

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

“Get place, nice people and it is indoor or outdoor dining!“

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

“Food is amazing ! 10/10 recommend I normally DoorDash to work but can’t wait to bring my family for lunch soon“

“Been there several times food and service is excellent. Natalie is hands down the best waitress in all PPB always prompt service!!!“

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

“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!!“

“I have to say the quality of the bagels here is seriously the best around. Haven’t had a satisfying breakfast sandwich in forever and this place definitely does it for me. It’s my second time ordering and I just wanna say thankyou bc you can definitely tell the people here care about the quality of the food! Not getting my breakfast sandwiches anywhere else anymore“

“My wife and I had a wonderful experience at Mossuto’s. We came on a friend’s recommendation and instantly loved the place. The service was excellent—our waitress was attentive and welcoming—and the food was outstanding. It’s a family-owned restaurant that’s been passed down to the son, whom we had the pleasure of meeting. He was incredibly charismatic and clearly passionate about what he does and his family’s history. We’re grateful for such a great experience and look forward to coming back.“

“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.“
