Bagel

“Great place! I’ve been on a hunt for some good Nova lox in the Toms River area and this is the only place that has quality lox so far!!! It isn’t too salty, it isn’t slimy, and it isn’t chewy like a lot I have tried. It’s the perfect amount of smoke and salt that you’d want, and not fishy at all!

The owners were so nice and welcoming and let me try the lox before buying it, very genuine people who care about customer satisfaction.

I did also purchase 2 bagels which were also very good! 10/10 recommend, I will be going back!“

“Toast Cafe absolutely knocked it out of the park for our Sheva Brochos!
We hosted the entire event there (about 40 guests) and from start to finish everything was top-notch. The food was fresh, beautifully presented, and delicious—everyone raved about the salmon especially. Portion sizes were generous and everything was perfectly seasoned.
The staff was warm, professional, and genuinely excited to be part of our simcha. Service throughout the night was seamless, and the manager personally checked in multiple times to make sure we had everything that we needed.
The space itself is clean, modern, and felt perfect for an family Sheva Brochos—elegant but not stuffy. Pricing was very fair for the quality and service we received.
Highly recommend Toast Cafe for private events, especially in the frum community. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Thank you for helping make our Sheva Brochos so special!
Will definitely be back for brunch too 😊“

“This is hands down the best coffee shop I’ve ever been to. Everything I’ve ever had here has blown my expectations. The honey bear latte is 1000/10 strawberry matchas and earl grey matchas 1000/10. And there pastry’s and savory foods are amazing. And a great vibe inside and in there backyard. The only thing you should avoid is there house made milks. But everything is amazing“

“I’ve been coming to JT’s bagels since they opened and it’s literally the only place where I’ll get a bagel from! Consistency is key. I moved away 5 years ago and I’m officially back in Jersey for good and they’re still as perfect as I remember them! I would literally crave them. My 3 year old was born in Hawaii, a little local boy. He had his first ever, Jersey bagel from JTs and LOVED it! Needless to say, this is the best place to get your bagels from!“

“Food is good. Service: i received a pager when I ordered my food with a real person. Food took a while so I went up to the window and discovered my food sitting there. I asked why my pager wasnt activated or my name called, really didn't get an answer. Atmosphere: there is no cold air barrier at either of the front doors. The whole restaurant was frigid. Go to the one in Toms River next time.“
