“Just found this little gem of a place. Got the grilled chicken sandwich. It was really good. Plus they have poppi soda which is always a plus. I wish they offered bread options with the sandwiches instead of just rolls. My sandwich on sourdough would have been perfect. Great place. I will be ordering a lot from here“

“This quaint café is absolutely adorable & cozy with delicious scones, muffins & drinks (we had lattes, matcha & cold brew). The staff is super friendly & attentive. The place was full of customers when we arrived, but we were helped immediately. The indoor seating is comfortable & limited ~ but there is spacious outdoor seating which was lovely, especially on a sunny Autumn day. I came with my family & we will definitely be back. Such a cute little gem off the beaten path in Brick.“

“Shore Good Eats N Treats catered our community party of 150+ women. Food was delicious. We got lots of compliments from attendees. They delivered and set it up. We had meatballs & ziti, garlic bread, Caesar salad and rolls. Ordered two gluten free meals and they were delicious. All accompaniments and serving utensils were included. Can't wait to sample their menu at future events.“

“Cannot praise the owner of this cafe more highly! Above and beyond service and help when I accidentally left my phone. Literally saved me from complete breakdown! Not to mention the excellent wait staff, coffee, and delicious avocado toast! Really looking forward to a return visit to this lovely town and excellent cafe. ☕️☕️🥑🥑🥯🥯“

“Been going here for years. Me and my wife's go to breakfast spot. Food comes out fast and fresh. She always has the chilaquiles and I always have the western omelet. Same great attentive staff for years and even the cook will greet us when we get in. You won't be disappointed.“

“I really enjoyed my breakfast at Ray’s Café. Everything was very delicious. I was sitting outside, enjoying a beautiful weather. My server was very attentive and I really appreciate it. It’s not an upscale restaurant, but a very popular. Highly recommended.“

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

“The best breakfast and service locally! Wow. The portions are generous, the food absolutely delicious, biscuits OMG, and the kind staff who are so hard working….this is the absolute best spot!“

“Great Place- Great Food“

“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.“

“Delicious, quality desserts & great service.“

“What a wonderful spot to catch a meal. The atmosphere is simple with plenty of room to grab a seat. We popped in when it was staffed by just one of the owners on staff for the day but he made sure to square us away as quickly as he could. We ordered two breakfast sandwiches and a short stack (3) of pancakes and every bite was DELICIOUS. Even down to the small side of salsa which may have been the best salsa I’ve ever had. They take pride in their food. But even more, I had no idea what the history of the place was. Hugely community driven, they’re passionate about taking care of their community. It’s a wonderful story we got the chance to hear directly from one of the owners. If we were locals we’d be regulars . Highly recommend this spot!!!“

“The food was outrageous it was bursting with flavors!!!!!! ingredients was so fresh & authentic tasting. I cannot wait to go back and try all the different things. How cool and friendly is the vibe ?!great just incredible good luck to this new CHIC HOT SPOT“

“Frequent customer, but always blown away with the freshness of their summer menu. The shrimply the best tacos, which was originally on a tostada last summer, was just as amazing, but didn’t sit as heavy as a tostada. Love the move to a light tortilla. The Mexi-Avo toast was so filling and the flavors melted together so nicely. Don’t forget the decor inside is so cozy, boho/havana vibe and perfect for a date or girl’s brunch. 10/10“

“Great coffee and croissant. I will be back.“

“Pops bagels are the best bagels on the jersey shore. The chicken salad with lettuce and bacon on everything bagel can't be beat! Delicious! And join the sandwich club buy 6 breakfast sandwiches get one free. Get the card at the counter and make sure they punch it every visit!“

“I absolutely adored it here, the staff were all incredibly kind and fun to talk to, and the food was beyond delicious!! I felt super welcome here and stayed quite a while because of it. I will definitely be coming back, and 100% recommend this place for both food and vibes!“

“Very chic space, love the large variety of gift options, all nice elegant and with a feel of uniqueness.
Flowers also look well curated and bouquets nicely put together.
Ordered two iced coffee mocha, per my preference it felt a bit water down, also ate the blueberry scone and Brooklyn blackout, they were yummy!!!“

“the complimentary wifi is always welcomed when patronizing any establishment. as a first time visit to this location, it was very bright and open. i got a pick two for lunch and was asked abt my beverage but not if i wanted bread or an apple. perhaps they didn't have apples. idk🤷🏽‍♀️the bread i didn't eat bc i already had bread for my sandwich. i would have been nice to be asked my choices. the same way Ashley asked abt my beverage choice. it's always nice to be asked.“

“So glad I found this place on my trip to Asbury. Coffee was stellar, pastries were great (had a croissant bread pudding? Ummm... what?), and the service was wonderful and even better... the vibe.

True community spot and will be my go to on coming back.“

“Always a fun place to take a walk with the family and spend the day shopping.“

“When you get iced coffee they offer regular ice or a coffee ball. It’s a ball of frozen coffee so it doesn’t water down your drink as it melts. It was good. I also had a pumpkin muffin. It would be nice if there was a mocha on the menu though.“

“Amazing food and the service is great too. The portions are big, I get 2 meals! Come in for the baked items, so yummy!“

“Great food, good service, and I like how it’s a boat themed restaurant“

“This spot is a gem! Hands down some of the best home-made breakfast sandwiches I’ve had in ages. If you’re looking for servers and a pro kitchen, this is not the spot for you. If the idea of a bangin’ home cook serving up breakfast sandwiches through a little side hustle out of her kitchen appeals to you, this is highly recommended.The pork roll egg and cheese and bacon egg and cheese were both favorites of my girlfriend and I.Be advised: cash only and if it’s busy you may have to wait. It’s a one person operation but it’s worth it. There are a few tables outside but this is really more of a grab and go place.“

“Visited in June 2025 for brunch during business trip. This charming tea shop never disappoints - been coming here since my London days when friends first introduced me.\n\n**FOOD QUALITY:**\nOrdered the Devon Cream Tea (around £9) - absolutely perfect. Two fresh scones served warm (cut into 4 pieces) with clotted cream and jam. The scones are lightly toasted and incredibly addictive! - easily finished all 4 pieces. This is clearly what most customers come for, and rightfully so.\n\nPreviously tried their sandwiches which are also excellent - substantial portions with great flavors, perfect for lunch.\n\n**ATMOSPHERE:**\nAuthentic old-style British tea shop atmosphere. Traditional decor - quintessentially British experience.\n\n**SERVICE:**\nEfficient and professional staff. Not overly chatty but very competent and quick service once seated. No unnecessary fuss - just good, reliable service.\n\n**WAITING TIME:**\nReservations may be possible (worth checking ahead!) though I walked in and waited. Had 3 groups ahead of me during busy period. Recommend either arriving early or calling to check booking availability to avoid queues.\n\n**VALUE:**\nExcellent value at £9 for cream tea set. Generous portions with large pot of tea and two substantial scones. Quality justifies the price completely.\n\n**LOCATION:**\nClassic London tea shop experience in the heart of the city. Perfect stop during sightseeing or business breaks.\n\n**PERFECT FOR:** Traditional British tea experience, tourists wanting authentic atmosphere, locals seeking quality comfort food, no issue with solo dining which is good!\n\n**TIPS:** Arrive early to avoid queues, definitely try the scones, consider takeaway option\n\nThis is my go-to spot every time I'm in London. The scones alone make it worth the visit - truly the best I've had anywhere. Highly recommend for anyone wanting an authentic British tea shop experience.“

“I absolutely love Corner Bagelry! Every Friday, my husband and I make it a point to stop by and grab some bagels. Matt and his team are incredibly welcoming and friendly, making each visit a delight. The bagels are simply AMAZING! I brought a dozen to work, and everyone raved about how delicious they were and wanted to know where I got them. I can't recommend Corner Bagelry enough!“

“Went here after physical therapy as they are in the same building. The coffee was great- lots of selections- and the food was freshly made to order and delicious. I have had breakfasts and lunches here and always been pleased. They do tend to be on the 'health conscious' side which is nice! They offer a lot of things that you don't get in regular places. They also make smoothies and fresh salads. Go there even if you aren't going to the gym, p/t or a doctor appointment!!“

“Had an incredible meal. We shared a pizza as an appetizer and it was a cross between Neopolitan and thin crust. Delicious. I had the pork chop with vinegar peppers. Without question the best pork chop I've ever had. So tender and flavorful. The staff is friendly and attentive. Highly recommend.“

“Stopped by this weekend while waiting for the train. Food was awesome, staff was friendly. Good little joint.“

“Panera food is always good. But what really surprised me was the amazing service. The man at the drive thru was so nice and helpful to the point that it made my day better. The food came very quickly. I would give the service 10 stars if possible.“
