“Did not try the food, but coffee drinks were great. I got a lavender latte but could not really taste the syrup. Plenty of seating, and baristas were very friendly. There's a whole ethos thought out by the owner, with copies of Aristotle and allusions to Homer everywhere, but it was a normal cafe otherwise.“

“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.“

“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.“

“I received a gift card during the holidays for this coffee shop in Asbury. My first time in there, I didn’t know what to get and explained to the gentleman behind the counter, Matt , that I like nutty, sweet and caramel latte type of drinks. He suggested their pistachio shortbread latte, and it was amazing. I definitely would not have thought to try that without his recommendation. This was a great place, and I’ll definitely be returning!“

“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“

“The ice cream was very good!! Will be definitely going back!“

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

“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!“

“Such a cute friendly shop with amazing gelato and yummy assorted baked goods 10/10 will definitely be going back. Can’t wait“

“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.“

“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.“

“Modern coffee shop with an open space, plenty of seating, and good cold brew. Perfect spot to visit before hopping on the train with friendly staff and quick service, too. Despite previous reviews, there are sadly no gluten-free food options except pre-packaged cookies/nuts. However, still a nice place to grab some coffee.

Dietary restrictions: No gluten-free options except pre-packaged GF cookies and nuts.“

“Incredible all around!!! We came in the middle of the week in the middle of May (cold week) so there wasn't a large crowd. We met Jennifer who is the perfect fit for this establishment. The menu is exciting (And I'm a meat guy) filled with fresh breads fresh spices, cheeses, and crispy salads. Food came out so fast. Place is so quaint and they worked hard to bring out that grandma's kitchen of the 70's and 80's. We went there everyday of our stay (walked there to offset the calories)

Parking: Easy to get there and park (may change in the busy summer months)“

“amazing place! Local owner she is wonderful.“

“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!!“

“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.“

“Wonderful brunch menu and great service (Thx Kaylee!) Made for an enjoyable Sunday!“

“Great staff! Great place! Very clean bathrooms!

Vegetarian options: The Impossible sandwich, the spinach wrap and the egg WHITE bites are vegetarian. And most pastries. For VEGAN's there is only plain or everything bagel with avo spread, and oat meal.“

“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 !!“

“First time at Once Bitten and we will be back! So many choices of donuts! We bought the Red Bank, Strawberry lemonade, raspberry beret (I think that was the name) and another chocolate raspberry. All were delicious. Can’t wait to go back and try more flavors!“

“Came for brunch. Half our party was running late and ended up being even later than we realized, but the folks at Toast let us hang out at a table with coffees without making us feel like jerks (we felt like jerks taking up the table lol but the Toast crew was incredibly chill about it). The food was great too! Got the crab hash special.“

“I love love loved Cafe Volan! Highly recommend the Raspberry Mascarpone and Avocado Toasts! Excellent coffee and wonderful hosts! So so happy with the European portion sizes! Just right! What a good way to start a day after watching a gorgeous sunrise ? in Ocean Grove. Thank You Cafe Volan ❤️“

ordering just by listening to the beginning of our order. And, the order comes exactly with what we want, and we love it there.“
