“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.“

“I’m not sure if they can control this but I’m sure they can do something to fix it or Adair the problem when you do mobile pickup or been order something sometimes people take it one time I had to wait 30 MINUTES! So please do something’s bout that otherwise his is a good place prices are high though if you don’t plan to spend up to 50 for a breakfast here I wouldn’t recomend the wraps are expensive aswell“

“I’ve been about 5 times so far and LOVE Emelio’s! The food is fresh and delicious and the portions generous. Even their simple side salad is something special - delicious, light dressing. And the service is great, which is hard to come by these days. It’s clearly a family-run place where Everyone cares about the quality. Also impeccably clean!“

“Best coffee & danishes in NJ, hands down.“

“This is such an amazing place! Delicious coffees, an awesome atmosphere, and simply some of the best plants you can get in the area; it’s a completely wonderful experience every time I visit! The owner, Nubia, is beyond kind, knowledgeable, and always so welcoming! This female owned and operated small business should be celebrated for how amazing it truly is! Skip the big coffee chains and big box shops and support this incredible, local businesses, instead!“

“The matcha here is excellent! I love that their menu offers different drink styles that you can order with matcha, coffee, or hojicha. I got an iced matcha, Kuromi's style, and it was delicious! The folks running the shop are so sweet. Will definitely be back to try all the different styles!“

“Took the dog to the animal hospital nearby and stopped in for a cappuccino. I was impressed with the operation, and the different type of coffees and preparations. Definitely a great place for coffee.“

“So, we’re from boston and are visiting my son. Not too much to choose from around here in terms of restaurants. But suddenly I see a sign Minas Grill and went in just because of the word grill. It’s Brazilian! My heart is singing! Great coffee, the food is like home cooked. Loved the cheese bread and you can shop here too! Lovely warm people and so helpful! So we’ll be back while we’re here.“

“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.“

“I have dined here multiple times. The food is always great as is the service. The restaurant has a cute vibe, however the last few times I have eaten here the restaurant has been extremely dirty. The silverware is not clean and the tables and floors are not clean. The tables nearby remain uncleared for the duration of our dining. I want to keep dining here, but it really needs to be better kept.“

“best in the biz! coffee 🔥, sandwiches 🔥, ambiance 🔥“

“Amazing food, friendly staff, delicious coffee🖤“

“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.“

“THE BREAKFAST AND LUNCH (FOOD OVERALL) IS AMAZING!!! WOW, THE BEST I'VE HAD IN CENTRAL JERSEY. EVERYTHING IS COOKED TO PERFECTION. THIS WAS MY FIRST TIME HAVING THEIR BREAKFAST AND LUNCH AND THIS PLACE HAS WON ME OVER. IM VERY PICKY WHEN IT COMES TO A GOOD BREAKFAST, THIS PLACE HAS FULFILLED MY NEEDS. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND AND WILL REVISIT TIME-TO-TIME. SO GLAD I FINALLY FOUND A PLACE I LIKE. 🙌“

“My husband and I had breakfast here yesterday. It was our first time at Rise n Shine and we loved it!!! Great food and service. Our new favorite restaurant.“

“Such a cute place. Counter guy very friendly. Great smoothies..will definitely be my to go place for coffee“

“While visiting family in New Jersey, I decided to check out Asbury Park Roastery on a Sunday morning and was thoroughly impressed.

As I pulled up, I could see someone in the attached roastery next door working on a fresh batch of coffee beans. Inside, the shop has a fantastic selection of retail items including bagged teas, fresh coffee, Chemex pour overs, AeroPresses, and even a sleek vacuum sealing coffee container that I am strongly considering purchasing. They also have a few neat branded shirts on display along the wall.

The seating area is very comfortable with roughly 15 tables that accommodate anywhere from two to four people, along with soft lounge chairs and end tables. It proved to be a wonderful spot to sit back, listen to the background music, and do some weekly planning. I also noticed they had beach style chairs you could take outside to enjoy the lovely weather, however it was drizzling a bit when I arrived so I opted for the comfy leather chair inside.

I ordered a latte and was thrilled that they served it in a real mug upon request. The coffee used in the drink had a darker roast profile with a bit more bitterness than my usual preference, but it was still delicious and clearly high quality.

To go with my drink, I picked a fresh cranberry scone from their display of pastry options. The scone was fantastic and paired perfectly with the warm drink. I always appreciate a coffee shop that roasts its own beans in house, and seeing the operation in action made the visit even better. This is definitely a wonderful place to relax and enjoy fresh roasted coffee“

“Rook never disappoints. With a great environment, coffee, and staff it makes for a really enjoyable experience. Staff are really nice and helpful as well when it comes to interacting and asking questions. Love this place and I think you will too try it!“

“This is hands-down my favorite coffee shop. Everything on the menu is incredible. I’ve tried so many different drinks here, and not once have I been disappointed. Whether it’s a matcha drink, coconut water hydrator, an iced cold brew special or one of Jen’s signature creations, every cup is thoughtfully made and absolutely delicious. There’s an item on the menu for every taste and preference, from skinny drinks to collagen protein add-ins, kid friendly ice pops, and more. You can tell that a lot of love goes into every detail — from the coffee itself to the welcoming vibe and friendly service. It’s the kind of place that instantly becomes a local favorite, and once you try it, you’ll keep coming back. If you’re even thinking about trying this place, do it. You’ll be a regular after one sip.“

“I’m picky when it comes to my coffee, which is why I get mine here when I’m in the area. Coffee is always perfect and strong The bagels are also very good, along with their other baked goods. The workers are very nice too!“

“The Best. Sumatra , pumpkin Spice Oh love.“

“This is my go to place for coffee beans, roasted on premises. There is a good range of beans. I started with the summer blend and found that too mild. Then I switched to Brazil and am happy as a clam. And, the baked goods are delicious, vanilla scone topped with a dollop of icing. Yum!“

“Come here every time I am in town. The whole team hustles. Last visit was made all the better by our server, Mike. I was sitting in the far side of a large booth. He noticed my ice had melted in my decaf iced americano and brought me a fresh cup of ice. I was blown away to the quiet attention to detail.“

“Rarely do you find a place that hits home on all the marks, and fortunately for anyone in Highlands, Farmacie is one such place. Both the food and coffee are spot on, and the people working there are pleasant and quick with getting you their order. Definitely a place worth stopping in at whether you live in the area, or you’re simply passing through.“

“This is the cutest location weve been to yet. Really friendly staff and awesome vibes coming from this place. there's nowhere to really chill but you shouldn't be hanging there for too long anyway because there's too much life to live outside“

“The food !! Everything is fresh & yums!! They also made corn pancakes ( don’t judge til you’ve had them 😊) not on the menu for myself & my bff!!“

“Adorable location and delicious selections of fresh coffee. Such a pleasure ☕️☕️“

“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.“

“My niece took me here & the crepes were so awesome. Great service too! Loved it..“

“Best bakery in the area, so many fresh choices. our favorites are the eclairs, crumb cake and cupcakes.“

“Best rook ever! I hope the manager knows they have the absolute nicest girls working here! Me and my nana have been coming here before college testing, we don’t live around the area. The girl behind the counter remembered i was taking my test and asked me about it a week later when i was up here to take my next test. That meant so much to me!
also the Banana toffee is TO DIE FOR!!!“

“A passionate owner is the first step to a successful business and you have that here. Great pork roll and coffee is a plus. Highly recommend this place.“

“Just fabulous. I heard of Rook coffee frankly from Alix Earle on TikTok. Anyways I was in red bank and saw a sign and thought that might be that place she kept talking about.

I didn’t have high expectations or anything but I was curious. And it is fabuloussssss - the New Orleans cold brew! I had New Orleans cold brew in New Orleans and always try it black first. When I did it had a very licorice bitter taste. Rook advertised theirs as dark chocolatey and that is what it truly was. I could drink it black but then I added oat milk and it is divine. Love love love! Thank you Rook! Come to NYC 😘“

“When you want the best ���“

“I’m generally a skeptic of brunch as a meal (who is consistently hungry at 11am?) and generally don’t like ordering food I can make well myself - but man is this food good. I think it’s the fact that every single ingredient is elevated and fresh, so the whole is way more than the sum of its parts. Am going to order some cheese and pesto to go. 5/5 - will definitely come back.

(Sorry there aren’t pictures - ate the food too quickly!)“

“This review is for the Mexican grill within the store.

I just had their Quesabirria tacos and OH MY GOD, they go up against any restaurant’s, EASILY. And for only $14 where everyone else is charging $17-$18 for the same amount? It’s a steal and I can’t wait to try everything else out on the menu!“

“totally blown away . yummy“

“Even though Diana was working by herself, she did an amazing job managing the busyness of the store. She was making drinks, helping customers, and still taking the time to have conversations with the people waiting in line. She was so friendly, welcoming, and handled everything with such a great attitude. My drinks were also made perfectly and excellent customer service. Great job, Diana!“

“I had the pleasure of ordering the Refresher drink on a super hot day recently and I have to say it was amazing and delicious. I walked on the boardwalk while I drank it and it kept me hydrated on that very hot summer day. The staff were all so pleasant even under the extreme heat conditions. There was a very large line of people waiting to order but the line moved along quickly. It also speaks volumes about this establishment in that many people were anxiously waiting to order a drink. You won't be disappointed with any drink you order from here! Come visit Offshore on the Asbury Park Boardwalk!“

“By far one of my favorite dunkins to go to. The wait time is very fast and efficient. The whole staff is amazing and I was greeted by a very joyful young lady named Dee in the drive thru with a very bright and cheerful personality will definitely continue to return to this location.“

“Great ice cream and friendly atmosphere! 5 stars!“

“Zeynep is amazing!! She baked an absolutely stunning first birthday cake for my son’s’s birthday. It was a 3-tiered teddy bear-themed cake, and she did a fabulous job!! She was a pleasure to work with, and I’d highly highly recommend her.“

“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!“

“Just a few minutes ago I ended up going to this Dunkin because by where I live they didn't have donuts left.
When I got here they had donuts but not enough with sprinkles and glaze for my grandchildren.
The man with light brown hair and light eyes didn't get his name overheard me telling my husband and he offered to dip them and add sprinkles. I couldn't believe it. Never has a Dunkin Donut shop done that for us. I am greatful and my Grandchildren will be so happy.
Thank you and be blessed 🙌“

“Wow wow such a good spot! Third time this summer and not bored, fabulous indoor and outdoor seats, fun vibe, service is top top like personalized attention you feel kinda VIP. And the food is healthy wholesome and delicious. Chic menu with creative dishes. Love it!“

“Milk,dark & white chocolate pretzels were delish! Also the different flavored truffles were decadent. Drop by and feed your sweet tooth. Yummy.“
