“I’ve been about 5 times so far and LOVE Emelio’s! The food is fresh and delicious and the portions generous. Even their simple side salad is something special - delicious, light dressing. And the service is great, which is hard to come by these days. It’s clearly a family-run place where Everyone cares about the quality. Also impeccably clean!“

“Yummy My breakfast eggs and greens with avocado was amazing !“

“Lovely space - probably on old bank with massive beautiful windows, tasteful seating. Good cookie but that was the only option at 3:30 pm. Oddly, they refused to make a half-caf drink. True coffee snobs, I guess. They said it would taste muddy.“

“Amazing food, friendly staff, delicious coffee🖤“

“So, we’re from boston and are visiting my son. Not too much to choose from around here in terms of restaurants. But suddenly I see a sign Minas Grill and went in just because of the word grill. It’s Brazilian! My heart is singing! Great coffee, the food is like home cooked. Loved the cheese bread and you can shop here too! Lovely warm people and so helpful! So we’ll be back while we’re here.“

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

“I’ve been trying to go to Coffee Corral for a while. Finally made it today. It was so relaxing to grab a coffee and listen to live music on a sunny autumn day. I definitely will be back.“

“Such a wonderful place. We happened upon this cozy shop on a day trip to Asbury, and returned with a bag of their wonderful coffee, which is roasted on premises!! Beautiful shop with local art for sale, but the best part is the great coffee and the owner who is so sweet and personable. We will definitely be back, if it was closer I'd be a regular.“

“We had a delightful time along with two friends who came with us to enjoy the menu before attending an event at the Axelrod performing center. Everything we ordered was delicious and Amanda was polite and servicial. She was very kind and considerate to mu husband who is hearing impaired. Our favorite options: pavo cuban sandwich, chai tea with ginger and honey, the combo breakfast, the Grand Toast and the omelet with shrimp.“

“The Best. Sumatra , pumpkin Spice Oh love.“

“Rook never disappoints. With a great environment, coffee, and staff it makes for a really enjoyable experience. Staff are really nice and helpful as well when it comes to interacting and asking questions. Love this place and I think you will too try it!“

“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.“

“My husband and I had breakfast here yesterday. It was our first time at Rise n Shine and we loved it!!! Great food and service. Our new favorite restaurant.“

“Meghan when above and beyond for us we came here as a family of five with a 6-month-old and a 4-year-old and she couldn't have been better. Thank you so much for the amazing service the food was incredible and we had so much fun what a beautiful and fun spot will definitely be there again can't wait to see you again Meghan!“

“My go to coffee spot whenever I visit Red Bank. The family I stay with try to take me to starbies and I MAKE THEM go to Rook. The staff were patient with my boomers who didn't understand the menu. I like that it's an in and out kinda place. Get your Joe and bounce! Rook crew, you RULE!!“

“Nice new coffee shop. Coffee was mediocre but passable. Food was surpriisingly good. There were nice merch. The color way of the cup was nice- off white ivory with plum purple brown hues. U can tell they tried to make the place nice, which they pulled off well.“

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

“Manager Ali has done an amazing job of creating an atmosphere that is always warm and welcoming. Her staff is equally wonderful. It’s become an important hub for the community.
I don’t drink coffee but I get the 24 oz. green iced tea. It hits the spot for me and you can get a refill for about a buck more. I’ve also had the hand pies and they are a delicious treat.“

“My wife and I are on the #eatjersey challenge to have a meal in all 564 towns of NJ. We chose The French Market for Rumson, our 108th town.

This beautiful cafe is decorated in a chic manner for atmosphere. It makes a great backdrop for your Instagram pictures.

It is mostly designed for takeout, where all orders are taken at the counter. They have a limited number of tables to eat in the well-decorated space. However, all food is served in cardboard takeout boxes with plastic utensils, much like Chinese food. (That's not very French, and not very cafe-like either.) Given the way the cafe is decorated for folks who eat in, and in a well-to-do town like Rumson, I would have expected the option to eat on regular plates w/silverware.

With that being said... the food was EXCELLENT! We both got crepes. One with egg, ham, & swiss, and the other with egg, spinach, & feta. We shared an order of French toast which was made with brioche bread. The crepes were served on a bed of salad, and the French toast was accompanied by a fruit cup.

The cafe also has a selection of pastries and cheeses. We did not try any of these, but they looked good.

If you're looking for crepes-to-go to satisfy your itch for brunch, the French Market should be on your list.“

“Delicious, fresh, and NEVER disappoints. Cannot wait for more from The Toast Post!“

“Incredible ice cream, awesome atmosphere, friendly, professional, fun and delicious 😋“

“This is the cutest location weve been to yet. Really friendly staff and awesome vibes coming from this place. there's nowhere to really chill but you shouldn't be hanging there for too long anyway because there's too much life to live outside“

“Delicious, quality desserts & great service.“

“Adorable location and delicious selections of fresh coffee. Such a pleasure ☕️☕️“

“Had breakfast at Johnnys this morning. Great sandwich, good prices and got to me Johnny. Five stars“

“Big vibes for a little place. It was a great way to start my morning this morning, from the good mornings and positive and uplifting energy from the employees (from both Pat’s and Coffee Surf) to their breakfast sandwich and the BEST cup of Chai tea I have had in a while. I highly recommend both places.“

“It's a good place to have coffee and relax.“

“Damaris was a great waitress! Very cheery, amazing attitude, and overall a great person! Alongside that, the chicken was juicy, the Mac and cheese was perfect, and the Iced tea quenches your thirst with ease. I’d recommend this to everyone I know.“

“Grandma Cheese is such a great café. The breakfast of sourdough and mozzarella is a personal favorite, and the coffee was so good. This is one of my favorite places to go. I think I am going to be ordering some of these mozzarella cheese items and cheesecake to deliver to my house so I can still get the amazing food to go. Thank you!“

“This is my closest local dunkin & we go through the drive-through almost every day. I have a serious matcha latte addiction & we prefer Dunkin’s drinks over the competition. Our lattes are always made perfectly & our food/snack orders are always as requested. Staff is professional, friendly& personable.I continue to order from this location. Thanks guys!

Vegetarian options: The humus or avocado toast with roasted sun dried tomatoes are favorites’

Parking: There is immediate parking in front, but this is a Large parking plaza (conveniently shared with Bay Shore Pharmacy, FoodTown Supermarket, Pomodoro Rosso Pizza, a dry cleaner, a liquor store and A sub shop) so you will always find parking near by.“

“The food !! Everything is fresh & yums!! They also made corn pancakes ( don’t judge til you’ve had them 😊) not on the menu for myself & my bff!!“

“Love this place and the folks who run it! Fresh food and great service every time! The French dip Sammy is THE BOMB!💣. The best👍“

“This little hole in the wall has got to be a one of the greatest coffee places I discovered. The customer service was great and the coffee amazing. I can’t wait to try some of the whole beans that I purchased. Support local and support Asbury Roastery. Thank you so much for peeking up my morning and can’t wait to try the cheesecake balls.“

“The quality of the food and service is top notch! The atmosphere is exceedingly charming.“

“I love Starbucks this particular location is extremely busy and I think management needs more employees. I feel bad for the employees they look stressed and are running and working the hardest and the best they can. They are doing a great job for the amount of volume of customers coming in“

“I got a Dunkin' Donuts K cups at home I want to get“

“So amazed by the dream team at this Dunkin!To say the least I order my drinks VERY DIFFERENTLY, the team never has an issue with my requests and always makes my drinks exactly how I like and need.It’s so refreshing to come into a Dunkin and not having to argue with someone about why I need my drink a certain way for 20 minutes.I will only come here, I love the team !Thanks guys !!“

“Nice employees friendly and eager to help“

“I loved having a peaceful cup of coffee with my mom and little sister! I love the way you newly decorated this site! I love a lot of the people who work here! Hi Maria! God bless you all! Keep up the great works!“

“Fast, professional people, and I stop there every Sunday before church. The lady that takes our order knows exactly what we are
ordering just by listening to the beginning of our order. And, the order comes exactly with what we want, and we love it there.“

“Wonderful place with great and different food combinations in their omelets, eggs, and sandwiches. Didn’t get to taste the pancakes, that looked amazing ! Love this place 😍“

“Update: I received a response and want to highlight the excellent customer service. Five stars for customer service!

We ordered two iced cappuccinos, we were looking for less milk than a latte. One had soy, one had oat. The drinks were honestly not drinkable. They only tasted like milk and there was oddly some broken foam on the iced drinks. Usually when we order a short latte or iced capp size it’s about 6-8 oz of milk and you can taste the espresso. We love espresso and have it out frequently as well as at home and we love to try local spots. We ended up throwing both drinks out and are frustrated it was $14. Please know the barista was very friendly and professional, even during the little rush right before closing time.“

“America is Ready to run on dunkin“

“Amazing ive been coming here since i was a kid and they haven’t made any big diffrences it’s nostalgic.

Edit/ Also its was crazy of me not to add how great Booskerdoo’s Cookies are they are heavenly and they’re pretty big gourmet cookies I love booskerdo and I need to come more because their essence and smell is so good when you walk in!

Don’t get me started in their PB and J bars!“
