“The sushi and fried rice were so good. The soup was so hot. The food tasted savory and fresh. Quick, mindful service.“

“My family and I are obsessed with this place! All of the young workers are so kind and courteous. They are constantly cleaning up the yogurt machines and the topping stations and it looks super nice.
There's a wide variety of toppings and they're not basic either! My favorite is the sauce/ wet topping station. It's got everything from hot fudge to marshmallow drizzle and reese's peanut butter sauce!
I honestly can say I enjoy coming here more than getting an ice cream from an ice cream place. I'd highly recommend it for the topping selection and lots of variety.
Shoutout to the workers and owner for their great business! Also, the fish aquarium is so pretty and they're always playing something fun on TV for my kids to watch. 10/10!“

“Best cafe in the area! Delicious baked good and the breakfast board is excellent! I want to eat everything when I go! Only open on the weekends (Friday-Sunday) so plan your visit!“

“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“

“Food was very tastefully Nice portion“

“as I was so exhausted, so I thought about going to Evoo to relax. I had halloumi cheese seasoned with zatar and well grilled with honey and I had a cortada to drink. the whole experience was so perfect and it really made me feel so satisfied. The guy who served me was very calm and pleasant. this makes you at ease. one should definitely go to this place for great mediterranean food.“

“Such a fantastic experience at No Limits Cafe today. My daughter and I had the best burgers today with delicious tater tots, not to mention fantastic service! We were lucky to have Claire helping us today. She was really awesome. She was pleasant, attentive and made sure we had everything we needed. Thank you Claire and No Limits Cafe for a truly wonderful girls lunch today. As the mom of a special needs person, the work that NLC does makes me feel a bit choked up every time I go. I see the wonderful things the staff are doing and it brings me hope that kids like mine will be fortunate to have opportunities to work at places so full of support and visited by so many people like my family who are fans in the stands supporting the great things happening. Keep on doing the work you do supporting people of all abilities. We need more of this!“

“Hands down our favorite breakfast spot. Been going here for years and never been disappointed. Food and staff are fantastic!“

“Beautiful place . Excellent service - fantastic food and beautiful atmosphere !!!“

“I recently discovered Good Vibes Cafe in Fords, NJ, and it has quickly become our go-to spot. John and Angelica, the owners, create an atmosphere that is not only friendly but genuinely welcoming. Every visit feels like a warm, positive experience. My son and I have spent countless enjoyable hours at the cafe, often hanging out with their wonderful daughter Jade. The teas and shakes are a delight, offering a refreshing and diverse selection. The ambiance is just perfect for relaxing and unwinding. And let's talk about the donuts – they are out of this world! The flavors are unique, and the freshness is unbeatable. Each bite feels like a little piece of heaven. Good Vibes Cafe is more than just a place to grab a drink or snack; it's an experience filled with warmth, great company, and, of course, fantastic treats. If you're in Fords, NJ, do yourself a favor and soak in the good vibes at this exceptional cafe.“

“Nice atmosphere. Both pictures groups. I love Pink floyd beetles“

“Brewed Awakening is the perfect spot for breakfast, brunch, or lunch. The food is consistently delicious, and some of my favorites include the BLT Sandwich (always made to perfection), the omelettes, and their Apple Caramel Butter Latte—a delightful seasonal treat. I first discovered the latte through a social media post a few weeks ago, and now Brewed Awakening has become my go-to spot every Sunday for a relaxing meal. The service is always warm and welcoming. Annie, the owner, often makes an appearance on the floor, either serving or checking in with guests to ensure they’re enjoying their visit. Her kindness and genuine hospitality make the experience even more special. I highly recommend stopping by Brewed Awakening for a delicious meal and a cozy, inviting atmosphere. You won’t be disappointed!“

“Food was amazing!!!! They made a minor error on our order so I called and spoke to the manager John. He was so kind and understanding. He made it right and the young lady behind the take out counter was the sweetest (I wish I got her name). It was my husband's first time eating at Panera and bc of the amazing food and service, it will not be the last! Thank you John and girl behind the counter!!“

“They have amazing vegetarian and vegan options on both the food menu and within the bakery. Everything is so so so good!“

“Their bakery items and coffee are perfect together. Jason assistant manager always makes sure that the bakery items are packed properly. He has a pleasant personality for the hospitality industry.
Lunch and dinner I ordered online and picked up at the drive-through window. Orders are always correct. Food is always prepared properly and the hospitality from the rest of the staff is always pleasant. I would highly recommend stopping in this store it has a pleasant soundtrack, a great atmosphere and a good experience.. JPE“

“Don’t have a Panera where I live in Brooklyn but when I visit New Jersey I always go there for a quick bite!!❤️“

“Una experiencia maravillosa“

“I don’t know the employees name, but occasionally I run in with a last minute craving on my way to work @8:30pm. I know it’s towards the end of the night, but she is still always so pleasant and my food always made perfect and quickly. Tonight’s turkey sandwich was no exception. Too many times people just complain or take good service for granted, and I’d love to see see them get the recognition deserved. Some of us do appreciate it, especially when we’re running to work. Thank you! 🙂“

“Exelente para picar algo sabroso con anbiente y traguilo y e personal mui amable“

“Went there for take out lunch Staff was phenomenal!“

“I am not a coffee expert but I can also say that not all baristas prepare a good cappuccino, but to my surprise the cappuccino they prepared for me had the coffee at the exact point to mix with the milk and continue being the main flavor of my cappuccino.“

“I love the atmosphere here and work just about once a week from here! Their coffee is delicious (personally recommend the amaretto latte—hot or iced)! I definitely recommend it to anyone who comes to visit.“

“Very good atmosphere with live music“

“This location is just so delightful. If any error is made they truly care and always go the extra mile to satisfy customers. There’s a manager by the name Sam ( with glasses) and she truly truly embodies the definition of a good hearted soul. I hope she becomes successful and runs her own buisness alongside a franchise of Panera.“

“1st time ordering from here. We tried the Cobb Salad to go. Owner ran out of Blue Cheese but asked if we wanted an alternate cheese. Was still delicious! Very fresh and tasty! Portion size was good. Owner was also very friendly. Even though Keansburg is desolate due to the season, this restaurant is still open and it's worth the trip to either eat in or order out from here. I recommend giving them a try if you haven't already.“

“Great customer service and delicious food“

“Excelente atención , rica comida y ensaladas variadas.“

“The most delicious food you can eat with a very good atmosphere, reasonable prices and a friendly staff specially the owner is so helpful if you want to make an event don’t hesitate to make it there , I’ve made my sister’s birthday there and we were so satisfied with this decision TOTALLY RECOMMEND!!!Thank you La Rosetta and to all the staff there♥️“

“Splendid. I ate the leftovers today and they were delicious. I'm very impressed with this place. I was driving by all the time thinking it was a coffee shop. Glad I decided to eat here. The coconut lemonade is like nothing else. The Maduro plantains were perfect. The steak was medium though I asked for med rare. It was still tender and full of flavor.“

“I have been going to gems since they first opened in Keansburg! They have good food and I understand with food cost they had to raise prices. I wish they would put a little bit more on breakfast sandwiches for what they charge. Other than that they still taste great and the employees are always friendly!“
