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!“

“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.“

“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.“

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

“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.“

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

“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.“

“Forget the rest, AP is the best.
Don’t be fooled by new comer coffee shops in Asbury Park. If you want good fresh roasted coffee, look no further. Take the walk to 2nd Ave. The folks working are always kind and there is comfy seating if you want I stay. The iced coffee is god tier, probably the best I’ve ever had. Rich and flavorful but no bitterness. I’ve been coming here for years and have started bringing the beans home for when I’m not in town. I’ve ordered also from their website and deliver was fast and easy. Now when I have visitors at my home they remark at how good my coffee is, the best they say. I say yes, yes it is.“

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

“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“

“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.“

“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.“

“Great coffee and bakery. But! You guys need to think about the environment!!! You produce an incredible amount of garbage. I stopped by to get coffee and some cake, sat and enjoyed it. Why do I need a whole box and a paper bag for the cake? Okay. I admit that you thought I would take it with me, and that's why you packed it like that, but no, you pack everything. I drank my coffee, ate my cake, and went to the trash can to throw out the packaging filled with this packaging. Why do you produce such an amount of garbage? Could you give me a plate, and that will be enough? Ultimately, all this packaging is included in my coffee and cake cost. But why pay for it if it will all be in the trash can in a minute? Everything you do is five stars, but I am depriving you of one for this garbage conveyor. Please change your approach and your attitude to the environment🙏🏻“

“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👍“

“Warm, welcoming and attentive service, generous portions - perfect, classic brunch for my family while on vacation in Long Branch.

We came here on our first morning in town, right as they opened. We had the breakfast combo - pancakes, eggs, sausage and bacon with milk for my toddler. I also had a latte that was delicious. Their kids menu has a ton of options, super reasonably priced. He loved it, ate a ton and was so happy!

We sat in a large, comfy booth overlooking the ocean. There was plenty of space for the whole family and since it was early, even the toddler got to walk around a bit, when he was getting antsy.

Very unpretentious and exactly what we needed. Will definitely be going back!“

“Absolutely love what Makana’s has brought to Asbury Park! From the moment you step in, you’re greeted with a burst of fresh, inviting aromas and a smile from the friendly staff. I tried their signature Philly Wrap and the Ube latte, both of which were out of this world!“

“I came from Massachusetts with my family to visit, and it did not disappoint! All. The merchandise is beyond adorable! The tabby cake was good but a little Sweeter than expected, the coffee selection was good too ,but I'm writing this review for Nancy ! She was incredible, so personable , so easy to talk too and patient, this girly loves her job and it shows in her amazing customer service skills
She made the experience worth the 6 hour drive I would come back just for her !“

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!“

“By far my favorite local Dunkin' donuts! It's always crowded, but they are very quick super friendly and always happy every single day. I honestly wouldn't go to a different one that was closer and more convenient for me just because the staff there is so nice. They've also never not had something I've asked for which is kind of rare a Dunkin' Donuts these days a nice to have a reliable option. As far as Dunkin' Donuts go, this is the number one Monmouth County location!

Kid-friendliness: It's a Dunkin Donuts you can definitely bring your kids in there lol.“

“Great ice cream and friendly atmosphere! 5 stars!“
