“This place took me by surprise! They don’t have too many specialty coffees however their coffee was amazing! It’s inside of an old bank which was insanely cool! I so happened to get a Lavender Vanilla latte and it was so good! It wasn’t overly sweet which I loved! Will definitely be coming back!“

The owners and staff genuinely care, and you can feel that from the moment you walk in. Their kindness, attention to detail, and consistency are what make this place special. The amazing coffee is just a bonus.“

“Wow, needed a coffee before summoning the energy to gut it out for some striper in the surf on a snotty day - and this place was so far beyond expectations given most coffee shops aren’t even open this time of year.

The place is perfect. The latte was amazing and the avocado toast, recommended by the very awesome Jeannette who I assume is the owner, was better and more interesting than most anything I get back in Southern California (no, that’s no hyperbole). Holiday vibes are on point too! Thanks for having me!“

“We were in the area and my son was hungry so we stopped by. We ordered avocado toast which was delicious and home fries. I didn't realize that home fries was cubed potatoes, more like hash browns but bigger pieces. My son was looking to dip fries into ketchup!!
When I explained that this is not what we had in mind , they quickly refunded the item without further questions. They also told me to keep the potatoes which I enjoyed! Everything was perfect !!! we would definitely go again!!!“

“Polite, friendly service. Clean, inviting environment. Fun music ( not too loud for 8 am). Good, quick food. Hot coffee (and HOT SYRUP!). No disdain that I was paying with a gift card for 2 free meals, and taking 1 togo- super accommodating and bonus points bc that's not a great table to get on a Sunday morning. kudos Joshua 😊“

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

The coffees are delicious and there are so many great items in the store. If you are looking for a gift and don’t know what you are looking for, this is the place to go!“

“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!“

“Great pour overs, well trained staff“

“Everything is always so delicious and even though it’s a little far from me I try to make a trip at least once a week since it’s my favorite spot!“

“We have gone here every weekend ever since we found out about this place! I wish they opened earlier than 11 am :( - Their coffee (specifically lattes) are out of this world. Before, LaVazza had my favorite lattes, but now CB does! Not only that, but $4-5 for an amazing good sized-coffee? I have probably had 15 by now and I have never had a bad one. I've tried most of their specialty candy bar lattes but the Jack Frost is my favorite - Service is outstanding. I've been served by multiple employees and so far they've all been extremely nice and helpful. Both dine-in and take-out. They are also very fast - Food is also extremely good, but, in my opinion a bit too expensive for what it is. However, the size is decent and it tastes very high quality. 15% lower price would be better. The chicken parm sandwich and caesar salad are my favorites and one of the best I've ever had (longhorn beats their caesar). Food has not disappointed so far - Environment is also nice. Clean area, clean bathrooms, and bonus that it's not always jam packed so it's quite peaceful Food I have tried and enjoyed: quesadilla, grilled chicken nachos, fries, caesar salad, classic pizzette, cheeseburger, sicily stuffed chicken wrap, chicken brushette wrap, chicken broccoli cheddar wrap, chicken cordon bleu wrap. Their chicken is also fantastic“

“Coffee was delicious and so was my acai bowl. Freshest bowl base had in the area and the guy working there was so nice. I frequently come back to Jersey to visit family. Really liked they had a kids table with coloring for my nephew too. This is definitely a go-to now!“

“BRICK: walking into California Cold Co. feels like stepping into a perfectly timed midday reset with buzzing energy, great music, and a crowd happily fueling up on caffeine.

Leashed and friendly dogs are welcome inside as well as at the outdoor tables, making it an easy stop for you and your pup.

Their craft drinks are thoughtfully made, with a mix of everyday favorites and creative seasonal specials, plus light bites to round out your visit. We loved spotting a couple of other dogs soaking up the outing with their families, always a good sign you have found a gem.

They also have a location in Manalapan, so you have got options when the craving hits“

GOOD bread,Eggplant parmesan,lasagna, cavitelli and broccoli rob. The meatballs are possibly the best i've ever had out, not even kidding. The red sauce was delicious, teeny bit salty for me but by far better than what I have experienced in the recent times I have been out to eat. Can't wait to go back. Very friendly atmosphere!“

“We were invited to the friends and family breakfast the day before opening. We were all absolutely floored by this place and have already made a new tradition to come every sunday! The wait staff and INCREDIBLE, they are so sweet and so speedy! They were so considerate, turned the fire place off for us, and talked with our kids. The restaurant is clean, calm, almost beachy feeling. The most important...the food was absolutely amazing AND at an incredible price. The portions are large and VERY affordable, while looking and tasting like high end breakfast. This place makes you feel rich, and will thankfully not give your bank account the bill.“

“This is an amazing place. As many of us know, people who are neurodivergent, have disabilities, and/or are special needs, have a hard time finding employment in their community. This adorable cafe is a trailblazer in community involvement, providing training and jobs for our special needs community!!!

The food is honestly FANTASTIC!

If you are in a rush, this may not be the place to go. If you have time to sit, chat, and relax, this is the perfect spot for a delicious lunch. 10/10 Would recommend.“

“I recently visited Seawatch Coffee and Market, and I can’t stop raving about the experience! From the moment I walked in, the atmosphere enveloped me in warmth and charm. The cozy, nautical-inspired decor, with its soft lighting and comfortable seating, creates a welcoming vibe that feels like a home away from home. The service is nothing short of exceptional. The staff greeted me with genuine smiles and made me feel like a valued guest from the start. They were attentive without being overbearing, quick to offer recommendations, and clearly passionate about what they do. The owner deserves special praise for setting the tone of this gem. Their warmth and dedication shine through in every detail, from the carefully curated menu to the inviting atmosphere. You can tell they pour their heart into what they do. This is a place where quality and care come together beautifully—I can’t wait to return!“

“Blue Cup Coffee in Seaside is a charming little kiosk/garage on the boardwalk, perfect for grabbing a hot or cold drink. The spot is adorable and fits right into the boardwalk vibe. Whether you’re strolling or just need a quick pick-me-up, this place is a must-visit!“

“Great coffee, super friendly staff, and amazing little shop. This has become my go-to gift spot if I need to grab something quality but small. Especially love their candles and jewelry - anyone I’ve ever gifted them to has loved them also!“

“Excellent customer service, staff is always pleasant, the place is always very clean, And, the bagels are the best you're gonna find in ocean county!!“

“If you are looking for a high-quality bagel in the Belmar area, the Corner Bagelry is a standout choice. The shop has a welcoming atmosphere that fits perfectly with the local community. It is clear they focus on freshness, which makes a difference in the overall experience compared to other local spots.m

The egg bagel is my go to here. I ordered mine toasted with butter, and it was excellent. The texture was exactly what you want—a soft, flavorful interior with just the right amount of chew. It was prepared perfectly, with the butter melted evenly across the bagel, enhancing the flavor without making it greasy enough r leaving a puddle in my car.

The staff was efficient and friendly, and maintained a clean and organized area. It is a reliable spot for a consistent, high-quality breakfast, and I would certainly recommend stopping by if you are in the neighborhood.“
