“My kids love to stop in every time we come to the beach. Nothing better than a good cookie or cake after a long day of play. The lobster tails are delicious and light to the crunch!! Highly recommend🙌🏽“

“We were there on Monday of Labor Day Weekend and the staff and the place was amazing! You can imagine the rush when you go to a place like that on Labor Day weekend, add on top of that exhausted parents and over stimulated kids and it’s a recipe for disaster. But they were so patient and amazing and considerate and helpful when we were there. The portions are insane. The cookies are beyond amazing, still fresh 3 days later! And you’re on the beach. What more could you ask for? I’ll def be back!“

“I agree with the other review that you are wasting your time reading Cats Luck reviews when you could be eating there! The food was delicious! And not very expensive at all. I got the fried chick’n and scrambled tofu (loaded). Great flavor with plenty of food. Really hit the spot and seasoned perfectly. The service was incredible also! Great vibes with plenty of recommendations. Just great atmosphere overall. They were packed today so I ended up enjoying the food in my car, but nonetheless looking forward to sitting down and eating one day. I got desserts (chocolate peanut butter Bundt and apple cider donuts) for later also. Haven’t tried those yet but they look amazing too!! Updated from previous review on 2026-01-03“

“We received a box of goodies from Chocolate Carousel and they were delicious. Chocolate covered pretzels with M&Ms and peanut butter chips, cake pops and chocolate covered Oreos.😋“

“I needed a cake for a celebration and walked into The Vintage Cake as a last resort. The young lady guided me through the expansive options and decorations. The cake was not only beautiful but also absolutely delicious. The icing was perfect, with just the right amount of “sweet,” and the cake was light, melting in your mouth. The tasteful gold leaf was just the elegance I wanted for the guest of honor. I highly recommend The Vintage Cake for your special occasions.“

“absolutely best desert ever!!!!“

“Thank you Ridiculous Farms for the amazing breads, butters, and goodies throughout the year! I absolutely love your bread, and the time and care you put into everything you make!

“Best bakery at the shore!!“

“Love this place! It is truly a shop for bakers, including amateurs like myself! They have a big variety of cookie cutters, molds, baking tools, food coloring, etc. Came in recently and was pleasantly surprised at the variety of seasonal items, including Halloween cookie cutters and takeaway boxes, sprinkles, and cake decorations. Prices are very reasonable with most cookie cutters around $2-3 which can’t be beat! Staff is friendly and knowledgeable about the products.“

“I recently ordered macaroons for a business meeting. The service was excellent, the products were also excellent. I thought all varieties of the macaroons were delicious as did all attendees. I have celiac disease so the macaroons I purchased were gluten-free. I will purchase these products again, the Macaroon Shop is highly recommended. Keith Singer, Attorney At Law, Jackson NJ.“

“I recently hosted my baby shower in Belmar and came across this shop—so glad I did! Cali was incredibly helpful and made sure my vision came to life. Let me tell you, these were the BEST cupcakes I’ve ever had in my life! Everyone was raving about them, and they were absolutely beautiful too. If you’re planning a party, use this shop—you won’t be disappointed!“

“The best cookies I have ever eaten. They are fresh and you can taste the real butter and eggs in then cookies. Each month there is a flavor of the month, one more delicious then the next. Give a me a cookie napped cookie anytime! You are are always greeted my the friendly owner.“

“My wife is an excellent baker, who usually makes my birthday cake for me. This year she couldn't, so I bought a cake from Antoinette Boulangerie. I'm a bakery snob. When I'm not eating homemade desserts, I only buy from the best bakeries in NYC and NJ. Antoinette Boulangerie is one of them.

The cake I bought was not pre-ordered; it was a ready-to-go cake for the day I called, which was my birthday. There were three that day: Red Velvet, Chocolate, Lemon-Raspberry. I chose the Lemon-Raspberry: lemon icing, vanilla cake, raspberry filling. It was FANTASTIC. The cake itself was perfectly moist, light and flavorful; the lemon icing was delicious and just the right amount of sweet, not too sweet; the raspberry filling was delicate. These are the signs of an excellent baker. In the past I've also had pastries from Antoinette, usually tarts and eclairs, and they've always been excellent.

My wife thought the cake was so good that she's considering appointing Antoinette Boulangerie as my official birthday baker.“

“If you are looking for a custom cake that looks amazing and tastes delicious, I highly recommend Cups & Cakes in Rumson. Denise and her team created a wonderful cake for our daughter with her college logo/High School grad. Everybody loved it! They go above and beyond to make your vision a reality! Thanks, Denise!“

“So happy you guys reopened, a staple of my childhood! Best bagels at the Jersey Shore hands down, and now they offer delicious homemade spreads! I got the mini with Veggie cream cheese and that will be in my weekend rotation from now on. Also the entire place is sparkling clean. I can't believe its the same place. Bravo!!

Vegetarian options: Limitless veggie options!“

Crumbl Cookie in Ocean Township is always a hit! The cookies are fresh, warm, and packed with flavor every single time. The staff was super friendly and made the experience even better. Definitely one of my go-to dessert spots — highly recommend! 🍪🔥“

Her attention to detail is impeccable and her expertise and knowledge is impressive!!Debbie knows exactly how to turn my vision into a beautiful, delicious masterpiece! Every single time!!!!“

“Awesome bread. The bread room is open to the public and they also do wholesale. Rustic Italian sesame seed loaf as a baguette style is amazing. Buy 3 if you want 1 to make it home!“

“It is a very great, authentic, Mexican bakery with delicious deserts and bread, ice cream, cake, candy, chips, drinks, and piñatas. It’s very kid friendly but wheelchair accessibility is a no. You do ned to go up two steps to go inside. Parking is also hard but you can find a place in front or around the shop. There are no Vegan options so don’t ask if they have that option.“

“I have had these Bundt cakes for many occasions and they are always delicious. The staff at the store is always pleasant and polite. The store is so cute and always clean and organized. Thank you making our events so special 😍“

“I visited yesterday morning before work and had a great experience. This location has a team that stands out from other locations. It fits in wonderfully with Red Bank’s culture even though it’s a recognized franchise brand and the coffee is delicious. The chocolate and strawberry croissants are very fresh. I love the modern aesthetic and layout mixed with the friendly atmosphere. I felt like I was in an high end “Mom and Pop shop”. It was also cleaner than most of the local coffee shops. Definitely suggest coming here if you want some reliably quick and tasty food/coffee in a busy Red Bank“

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

“These cookies are so easy to prepare. They start out as frozen balls of cookie dough that you arrange on the included parchment paper then bake! After just 15 minutes, you have the perfect chocolate chip cookie. Moist and chewy with melted chips inside and a crisp, golden cookie finish on the outside. Delicious and made right here in NJ. Buy local, eat deliciousness!“

“There's a new guy in charge! The guy with the glasses and does the cooking, he is legit and doesn't forget anything. He's very cool.

These bad reviews were from a year ago when they had different workers and yes, they were horrible.

But these new workers are awesome!“

“Such great staff and delicious pretzels!“

“What a choice of bagels and cream cheese! I worked with Maria for a special event for the PR Council of Greater AC. She was more than helpful and the bagels were fresh and delicious! We will be back every time! Thank you!“

“Their vanilla is perfect. Creamy and rich. Their peanut-chocolate ice cream sandwich is the best ice cream sandwich ever. They just need to adjust the flavor on some flavors. Malted Cookie, Peanut Butter Cherry, Salted Caramel WAY TOO SALTY. I mean so salty, it ruins the ice cream experience.“

“One of the better Sausage egg and cheese on a roll around. I always add a PB&J bar along with my dark roast. Staff is friendly as well as the people who visit. Nice to shop local and family run. I only wish they had more seating as it can get busy and I come from out of town so I’m not a take away customer. I can see take away is their bread and butter. Good stop to buy beans for home.“

“Great service great crepes def recommend! The Elvis is to die for! �“

“Everything tastes so good. They are easy to order from. I would go more if I could“
