“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!!!“

“first time my wife and I were there for breakfast today the best bacon egg and cheese I ever had very clean courteous staff we will be back.“

“First time trying this place today, love it! Will be back often!“

“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“

“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“

“The food was very good and service always excellent.

I have come here, many times and have never been disappointed. It's probably the best place to get donuts in the area, and the bagels are much better then I am used to.“

“From the minute that we got there until we left very friendly.Great service!! It was our first time there.They gave us this beautiful salad on the house! Our food was delicious! 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.“

“Simply the best! Amazing staff and bagels! Great for catering as well!“

“Excellent place to dine. Food was very good. Restaurant was very cozy. Server, Lauranne, is terrific.“

“Ryan our waiter was amazing 🤩 I will always come to visit with my service dog deacon your staff was so welcoming and polite great customer service thanks ☺️“

“food was a 10/10!!! definitely recommend🤍“

“I've been to many seven brews across the United States. I don't know how they do it in the heat. Or in cold winters. I really hope they pay well cause I couldn't. But love the Blondie extra sweet with Xtra cold foam. Love it.“

“you have to pay $10 to get into the beach and and you cannot have no beer in the beach one star“

“We went thru drive thru for lattes and the girl who helped us was super nice! Above and beyond asking if we needed a drink tray (we did) but didn't think of it. Also gave us little doo hickies to put in the sip holes to prevent spills.“

“Great atmosphere with wonderful customer service & helpful suggestions. Really awesome coffee, cookies and cute little shop with local items and last minute beach necessities.“

“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!“

“This is such a wonderful place to eat!! The atmosphere is beautiful, modern, and bright. The service was very quick, especially for a Saturday Afternoon!! The food is incredibly flavorful, and the portions were amazing for the price. There are a ton of food options for every person and diet including many vegan options. Staff was kind and attentive! I will definitely be coming back!“

“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!!“

“So cute inside and out! Our food was DELICIOUS and all of the staff was super friendly! Will go again for sure!“

“My doodle and I love coming to this Starbucks. I get a fancy coffee and he gets a pupcup. We then park in the lot and enjoy our treats and watch the traffic on Brick Blvd. It’s a nice way to spend 15 minutes and just let the world go by :)“

“Yesterday my sister and I walked over to beach culture and it was super hot. My sister ended up getting heat stroke and fainting in the middle of the store. The employees were SO amazing and helpful, they all ran over with ice, water, wet paper towels and one of the employees even offered her a spoon of honey to get her blood sugar up. They also offered to call someone for us. My family and I are so appreciative of how helpful they were!! Not to mention their drinks and food are our favorite. Highly recommend beach culture not only for their food but for their amazing and kind staff!!“

“Waffles and Iced Chai are delicious! Especially the OB. But it’s a shame that you close so early. I can recall MANY times wanting to stop by and get some waffles but yall are always closed!!. Please change your hours to atleast 2 or 3. It would promote a lot of more customers!“

“We decided to sit In and have Frapochinos instead of drive thru“

“I love this place so much, it’s within walking distance from me so i come often, everything i’ve tried from the menu tastes amazing, and the workers are super nice too! i totally recommend this drink in the photo it’s super delicious, it’s the strawberry dragonfruit refresher with oat milk and cold foam!“

“For how insanely busy this location is they are very quick! Honestly expected a 15-20 minute wait and waited maybe 4 minutes. Everything was made well and correct. Inside was very busy and most chairs were taken but still quiet and clean inside. Also happy this location has the Valentine's day strawberry drinks as most locations seem to not carry it.“

“Dunkin' at 1039 NJ-88 in Point Pleasant is my morning ritual and afternoon pick-me-up all in one! The coffee is always hot and brewed just right—love their iced lattes with that perfect caramel swirl on busy shore days. Donuts are fresh daily, especially the glazed ones that melt in your mouth, and the breakfast sandwiches hit the spot with crispy bacon and fluffy eggs. Staff is super speedy and smiling, even during the commute rush, and the drive-thru is a breeze. Clean spot with plenty of seating for a quick break. Can't start the day without it!“

“The BEST yougurt in the Toms River/Seaside Area!!!!!!!!!!!!! Don’t miss it!!!!“

“We literally pass 2 other Dunkin’ Donuts to come to this one. The parking/drive through is tight and tough if it’s busy but if you get there early enough, they have really awesome donuts. My kids are obsessed with them and I have never seen another location make donuts like these. I only wish they would make more of these because they sell out very quickly!“

“I placed an order and forgot about it until hours later. When I explained what happened and that I used my points not only did they remake my coffee but upgraded the size! Now that’s awesome customer service! The coffee was made perfectly too!“

“Joseph & David Juice For Life — aka the place where I go to repair all the nutrition damage I did everywhere else in Lakewood.

You ever walk into a place and immediately feel like the Shechinah of Health is resting on you? That’s Joseph & David. I come in feeling like a schmendrik who just inhaled half a bakery box… and I leave feeling like I’m ready to run a half-marathon. Or at least walk briskly to my car.

Their juices are legit. Fresh, crisp, actual fruits and vegetables involved — not the “flavored syrup pretending to be a fruit” situation you get elsewhere. You take one sip and suddenly you’re like, “Wow, maybe kale is my calling.”

And the bowls? Hit. The. Spot.
Perfect balance of sweet, crunchy, and “I’m doing something good for myself even though I ordered extra toppings because life is hard.”

The store is clean, the staff is friendly, and the energy is very “We want you to feel good about your choices.” No pressure, no judgment, just wholesome vibes and good food.

I also appreciate that everything comes out fast — no standing around questioning if you should’ve ordered something different. You get what you ordered, it tastes amazing, and you walk out feeling like a responsible adult for once.

Bottom line:
If you need a healthy recharge, a fresh smoothie that actually tastes like fruit, or just a place to pretend you’ve become a nutrition influencer — Joseph & David is the spot.

Highly recommend — five stars, plus one for the spiritual cleanse.“

“Love it!! Best staff and bagels!“

“The staff st the drive thru is the best I've ever experienced st any Starbucks anywhere in the country. My wife has had the same experience. Nkt only are they professional and courteous, but efficient and the coffee is always exactly on point.“

“Excellent staff, location is always clean and always fast service. Highly Recommended!!!“
