“This place really surprised me! I just stopped in for a cup of coffee but spotted a large, heavy box of assorted brownies, blondies, and brookies, perfect for a party I was on my way to. And it really was perfect, a total hit! I had a brookie and it was amazing, so soft and delicious! I feel so lucky to have tripped across such a wonderful dessert box! Everyone loved it!“

“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“

“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.“

“Meighan and her team of Main Street Kitchen were absolutely amazing. She was the caterer for my daughter's wedding in October. It was an outdoor wedding at our home. She came to our house a few times to meet the tent folks. She made suggestions regarding placements for tables, dance floor, lighting ets. We selected Main Street Kitchen after reading reviews from our local town facebook group. Her food was special, thoughtful and most importantly, delicious. We had about 120 people. She came with an hard working staff who was amazing. We used Love Your Flower in Manasquan and Spirit of Alcohol. For music we used DJ Electra and she was just awesome! Thank you Meighan!“

“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.“

“The food is really fresh, you can tell they make it on the spot w/ fresh ingredients. Some unique dishes or elements like a basil smoothie, or lavender latte. Great food, great aesthetic inside and the owners are so welcoming and nice! :) 10/10“

“I believe this is Salty's Ice Cream. If so, best ice cream in the Lavallette area! The prices are MUCH more reasonable than everyone else around and you get a HUGE serving. The Cappuccino Crunch ice cream is one of the best ice creams I have ever had!“

“We have driven passed Capsized Cafe many times, without turning in. Talk about missing the boat! We were looking for a fresh take on breakfast, out, and when we did the Google thing...up popped this eatery.Read many of the glowing reviews and headed over to try it for ourselves. Glad we did. Coupled with great food and super pleasant staff, the atmosphere has that 1950s and '60s eclectic shore coolness.Go there! If not today then go soon.“

“I tried the food for the first time today. My son and his friends have been eating there for a while now and have asked me to try it out. I own a local business on Mantoloking rd and like to spend money locally as well. I was very impressed with the quality of the food and the portion size was great. The waitress was great and the prices were great. As one person posted, I am getting tired of the same old places so trying this was a good idea. I definitely recommend this restaurant to anyone looking to try something new.“

“Being the “best” bagel and or breakfast sandwich shop in Belmar is difficult to pull off, and well, a bold claim. Taste is always subjective, but Corner did it right. Beautiful bagel topped up proper. Belly buster was the cure what what ails the wounded soul.“

“We’ve been going to Mossuto’s before it was a restaurant and it never disappoints. Great for the whole family. I love the pizzas and pastas if we eating there and the roasted tomatoes and fresh mozzarella are not to be missed! My daughter loves the meatballs and spaghetti. And of course the bread. Very kid-friendly as I’ve been taking my daughter there since she was very small.“
