D’Amores Tea & Toast

Wow! Give them a try, you won't be disappointed. I had the D'Amores Toast and my wife had the Architectural Toast. Both were over the top delicious. The eggs were cooked perfectly, the avocado was as ripe and fresh as could be, even the shaved Parmesan was excellent, the bacon was crispy and flavorful, and I could go on.
It's easy to miss D'Amores while driving or walking on the other side of the street, so make it your specific destination. I promise you'll be glad you did.

Great service, really cute place, amazing food!
Ordered the Tuscan Toast (but it was SO hard to choose bc everything sounded great!). The Tuscan toast was so delicious: sourdough topped with Fresh whipped ricotta, thinly sliced prosciutto, marinated peaches, olive oil, sea salt, black pepper. Unbelievably good. My family both got the Un-Brie-Lievable Toast:
Sour Dough Bread, House arugula salad, prosciutto, thinly sliced honey crisp apple, brie cheese, balsamic glaze .
We all enjoyed. & coffee was great too!
Can’t wait to go back and try everything on the menu?
They are open seasonally so only until 2nd weekend in September.

Found this amazing gem while looking for parking and just decided to stop in. The Tuscan signature sandwich was a little sweet and a little savory which made a perfect bite, so fresh, and delicious! The staff was super friendly and helpful. Looking forward to our return visit sometime soon!

We had the best breakfast! This is our new spot at the shore !

We had a nice morning in Lavallette today getting breakfast at D'Amore's Tea &Toast ❤️. Everything we tried was amazing!! We had the "For The Love of Chocolate Toast", the "Architectural Toast" and we shared the "Garden State Toast". Great atmosphere, great coffee and tea, and amazing food!!! It's worth the quick trip over the bridge and is a definite must go to if you are in the area!

Great toasts! Must visit for light healthy breakfast!

Awesome breakfast and brunch spot! Everything is excellent!

Delish !!! Sweet and savory!!! Girls so nice !!! We loved it !!! Today 9/12 last day. Looking forward to next year !!

Best breakfast spot on the strip. Avacado toast is fresh and savory. I reccomend the architect. Sick vibe inside and it is very comfortable. My new favorite spot.

***4 1/2 stars***Every breakfast we had in the Lavallette area was top notch so if you're going to stagger out of bed for any meal, that's the one I'd do it for. My noble chum posse came here this past Sunday morning for some much-needed sustenance. I had a hankering for avocado toast (I usually do, though rarely can justify it since I could theoretically make the toast for myself at a fraction of the cost) and was thrilled to find out someone had created a restaurant that was headlined by multiple variations of this scrumptious brunch item. Delightful.If you're familiar with this strip of Route 35 N, D'Amores is probably the most subtle restaurant storefront in the area - we almost passed it by twice. It's set back from the sidewalk, allowing for some decent picnic table outdoor seating though it had a handful of tables inside as well. We stayed indoors and sat at a table about 10 feet from the kitchen/prep area, and it was interesting to watch the assembly line system they've created for the continuous edgy toast orders. From my seat I also had a view of a bookshelf way up toward the ceiling (I think more for style than substance since I can't imagine how a customer would even have access to it), which featured John Irving's 2005 novel Until I Find You. Very underrated and I'd argue the last great Irving tome. Anyway.I went with the closest option to the classic avocado toast, the D'Amore's Toast, which had (of course) smashed avocado, a cooked egg, shaved parm, black pepper and basil. It was excellent. Sourdough is one of my favorite breads to accompany avocado toast, rivaling maybe the ciabatta. It was a very thick slice and paired perfectly with the toppings. The shaved parm was probably my least favorite aspect, though I certainly didn't dislike it. Just based on structure, it was a little cumbersome to keep on the toast but the taste was fine. I'd probably alter the cheese option to a grated one in the future.Every employee we interacted with was very pleasant. It was pretty packed when we wandered in (I'd guess around 8:30ish? Everything on vacation ends in -ish.) and there was a bit of a wait for our toasts. One of us also went back in line I believe to grab a water and it took a while for her to return, probably close to 10 minutes. I couldn't tell if it was just bad timing with an influx of patrons or if part of their prep system needs tweaking, but that was a little noticeable. Not a huge deal but something to be aware of if you're on a schedule (we were not).Even though I try to go to as many different establishments as I can on vacation, I petitioned unsuccessfully for us to return for another breakfast. That's about as high of a compliment as I can give an establishment, and I was only unsuccessful because my chums wanted to keep exploring the gastro scene, not due to any negatives here. This was one of my favorite spots, and I hope it's an option the next time I'm in the area.

Lovely and quaint place with a very unique menu and actually healthy food! Feel like a local even if you’re visiting- enjoy the ambiance of Lavalette, NJ and the beach vibe! There’s no rush when you are chatting or relaxing in their amply appointed dining area or sit outside and take in the sun! Very personalized service - like visiting an old friend you never met! Sample the selections with a special “flight” of creations all served on toast! You will have to visit more than just once as there are too many goodies to choose from! (Additionally, they have many considerations for our sensitive gluten free friends as well!) A twist on an old favorite- tea and toast! Be sure to check out the selections of freshly brewed tea and coffee as well! So refreshing the Peach/Açaí/Pomegranate iced tea!!! My favorite!Best wishes neighbors- we will be back again and again!

Excellent breakfast/brunch spot. Definitely a unique menu offering toast anyway you can imagine...BLT toast, avocado toast, PB and banana toast. Most importantly, self serve with refills on hot coffee.

Parking: Free parking on street

Really delicious!
