“This Dunkin Donuts is absolutely the best one. Whether its the quality of the food/beverages, speed or customer service--everything is perfect. You can really tell the new management (I believe the manager's name is James F.) is doing a great job in maintaining a positive vibe with his team. These guys are phenomenal -- highly recommended Dunkin location.“
“Absolutely amazing donuts!!!! I have Celiac so gluten free along with cross contamination is huge for me. They prepare the gluten free donuts separate from the other donuts. And so many donuts can be made gluten free! I got the gluten free churro, french toast, and triple chocolate and my friend got the black and white cookie donut!!! Sooooo good, friendly staff, adorable shop!!! Will definitely be back!“
“A plant oasis that happens to also be a coffee shop. This place is filled with plants from every nook and cranny it has to offer. Along with all the plants they sell a bunch of other little items local places/people have made. I ordered the coco matcha and it was splendidly piping hot. It felt so warming as I drank it on this cold day. This place has pastries and toast items available to eat. I would say don't plan on trying to work or eat here. There is only one table in the front of the room and then a bench along the one wall.“
“I came to the establishment early as I was working in the area I ended up bringing home a bunch of different things home for my wife who is from Honduras. She loved everything I bought and two days later we went back she loaded up on nearly everything they had and I can definitely say we found our new spot to eat and cater from. The staff was extremely eager to help with all the questions we had all I can say is if you’re in the area give this spot a try you won’t regret it.Kid-friendliness: We had our 4 year old son the kind women gave my son a lollipop that made his time there a lot more fun“
“Cappuccino with caramel shot - wildly good. Had two. My coffee rating: 9.5/10. This is going to be my go-to coffee spot. Also, the chipotle sammie had one of the best chipotle sauces I've had in my life (and I'm a big self proclaimed chipotle flavor connoisseur). Brioche + soft eggs + micro greens + that chipotle sauce = coming back soon.“
“I've eaten at the Rise n Shine on occasion and find it's no frills local hometown vibe inviting. I prefer sitting at the counter old school and watching the traffic go by as I enjoy a delicious omlette. The owners are very friendly and welcoming, and the food is excellent.“
“Shore Pour offers a combination of the best coffee & munchies, best service and a wonderful beach vibe to enjoy for the start of your day or the entire day should you make it your “remote office” for a little while or the entire day.Pair your coffee with a delicious bagel, scone, muffin, pastry, waffle, granola, overnight oats, amazing biscotti flavors…..or enjoy some of the most delicious macarons outside of France.Nicki, Dagney, Jon and team make you feel special every visit and are an important part of my day. Hopefully you get to enjoy Shore Pour at least once in your life….or at least once a day ;)“
“This family run, coffee, business, hands-down, one of the best experiences of my life, the grandmother and the granddaughters greet everybody, even if they’re busy, and that makes for a pleasant experienceParking: Not a gigantic parking lot, but enough spaces for the amount of people to come there“
“Great spot for a breakfast / lunch and a latte! Service is always fast, efficient and friendly. Be sure to check in when you get there with the person at the front desk or by scanning the QR code next to the desk.The beansie tostada was excellent and the house roasted salsa that came with it was amazing. It was the perfect amount of food. I can also highly recommend their bowls. So far I've enjoyed the "Matty Rice" bowl with taylor ham and the "Let's bowl" with blackened chicken. The flavors are wonderful!Parking: Parking lot is usually full, but there's usually at least one open spot or someone leaving.“
“I must have come on an off day. Staff and atmosphere were wonderful and friendly! The regular coffee however was really bad. It had no flavor or aroma at all. Almost like a warm cup of nothing. It wasn’t weak coffee, it just had zero coffee taste. If I drive for an hour and don’t take more than a few sips of a coffee, something is seriously wrong as i’ll drink gas station coffee to pass the time. I’ll give it another try next time I’m in town.“

“This is a A-Class place to stay. Well-kept rooms & furniture, comfortable mattress, all kept clean. Amenities in bathroom, etc. There is a kitchen (with room in refrigerator to store my own food also). They serve breakfast with many choices of eggs and oatmeal, plus juice, etc., in the adjacent spacious dining room And the adjacent entry-room (before going upstairs) contains a billiards table and a (well-tuned, playable) piano. (I used/enjoyed the latter). Linda and Bill both were warm and accommodating of all my quirky needs. I highly recommend it and them.“
“I gave Port Coffee Roasters 5 out of 5 stars ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️What’s a barista’s favorite exercise at the gym?The French press??Okay, review time!Pros:- Fresh pour-over and espresso coffee, you can taste the quality!!! ☕️- Friendly staff who make you feel right at home!- Delicious empanadas, baked (not fried) to perfection (a great option for health-conscious folks who want to avoid fried)- Gluten-free Biscotti on point!!! I highly recommend adding the Biscotti to your coffee order!- Outdoor seating area is nice for sipping and enjoying the surroundings (in the warmer months)Cons:None! I had a perfect experience at Port Coffee Roasters!Follow me on Google for more ❤️“
“I love this place. It’s a welcoming, charming environment. The staff is friendly, polite and fast. They have a cool outdoor space you can enjoy on a sunny day and sometimes listen to the music of a local musician while enjoying your food and drink. I only partake in the coffee and it’s my favorite place in town, among several good options. Keep being awesome, CC!“
“My family and I love this place. It always feels like home. My toddlers love the eggs, pancakes and cookies. I have recently had the French toast muffin, omelettes, pancakes… (yes we go often). Everything is delish. I get an iced coffee with oat milk and it is the ONlY place I can get coffee without needed sweeteners. The coffee is so fresh, every single time. Whether I’m running in before school drop off, in the middle of the day before meetings, or after school to grab a snack with my kids, there’s something new and delicious to try. Highly recommend !!!Kid-friendliness: I bring my children here often. Jeanette, Sam and the entire staff are nothing but welcoming.“
“Try the blueberry pancakes BECAUSE they are more than just regular pancakes with lonely blueberries on top. If you are a fool for French Toast GO HERE because their selections will make you wanna bury your face in the plate. The service was outstanding and the atmosphere was great. Wherever you are coming from this place is worth the trip.“
“I love this place! My favorite is the cupuacu (def not spelled correctly) smoothie and açaí bowls. You can choose small, medium or large unlike other places and the prices are fair. The baked goods (scones) are amazing and baked by the owner with love. There's usually never a long wait which is great if you're stopping before work. Besides carrying fresh food/coffee the vibe and decor make you wanna hang for awhile... Definitely a favorite!“
“I have loved this place since the original in Little Silver when they were lunch and a small dinner venue. They had the best homemade soup. Now that they have expanded and our primarily breakfast and lunch the are still amazing. And I've been to multiple....Toms River, Long Branch, Sea Girt, Cherry Hill, etc. Consistent no matter which one you go to. And the coffee is amazing too. I love my French presses!“
“I have been coming to Steady Hand since the summer. Love the rotating menu options but the pistachio latte has been my favorite. So much my favorite that I also had to purchase the pistachio Good Good syrup to make it at home! And also can’t forget to mention Ashley, the owner, who is so friendly and always down for a chat while she is whipping up your drink!“
“I came into Pops corner because I work from home and was looking for a new spot to get out of my house and have a nice working lunch. As soon as I walked in I loved the atmosphere, it was super clean, bright, coastal, and inviting. The food was absolutely delicious and service was on it as soon as I sat down. I started with the chicken noodle soup and the stock was super good and the noodles weren't too much - loved the broth. I also really love the pico de gallo and queso fresco on the avocado toast- the eggs were perfectly cooked over easy and the yolk melted into the yummy sourdough. I finished off with a chai latte to go. I'll definitely be back! Thank you for an awesome experience.“
“My husband and I drove up from Toms River for the Cannoli kit after experiencing it at a party . It was a Sunday and the girl behind the counter was very rude and said we don’t have any they need to be ordered a head of time , thankfully RALPH walked in and saved the day he went above and beyond to get us what we came for ! If you don’t know the lay of the store you shouldn’t be working there ! Customer service should be a priority and she certainly wasn’t willing to try helping . I will be back but hopefully someone who wants to help the customer is working!“
“Small cafe/diner offering breakfast and lunch. Nice menu offering a good variety. Tasty omelettes and sandwich options. We last visited on a Sunday and the place was quite busy, but seating was available after a short 5 minute waitThis place gets quite busy on the weekends. Meter parking available.“
“My last west coast trip spoiled me, and I'm on a quest to find amazing coffee near me (open to recommendations), so I'm trying new coffee places as much as I can. Busy Bee is inside a gas station, and has very good coffee. I had a caramel macchiato and it was a solid 7.5/10 (my coffee rating scale is as arbitrary as myself). There's also a generous collection of food offerings - I tried something similar to a deviled sausage (I didn't get its name) and it was delicious.“
“Great ice cream flavors, very, very friendly staff working hard through all the long lines for many hours. After a day of swimming at the beach - chocolate brownie ice cream sundae with hot fudge and toppings - literally the cherry on top of a good day.“
“A great small coffee spot in Ocean Grove! Friendly staff and owner, great coffee, and a decent selection of teas. They display local art and have a couch and tables for seating. They offer good food that rotates with the season (quiche is my favorite).They also offer FREE bananas if you buy something! FREE BANANAS! That is awesome!“
“Very good breakfast. Hit the spot. Went around 10:30 place was full but was able to get a seat pretty quickly. I had a belly buster omelet and my mother had eggs over easy with a ham steak. We both had coffee. Hers was nice mine was hot. Our bill was roughly 10 dollars cheaper than most of the breakfast places we go to, only catch is CASH ONLY - but super worth it.“
“Sheer excellence! Everything here was perfect. From the energy, to the aesthetic, to the food and the portions, the staff, the mini shop out front, everything. The owners did an excellent job at creating this place and it shows in every single detail.“
“How can anyone not love Rook? Between the fun branding, and delicious coffee, and punk-rock resistance to BIG COFFEE, this company is the go-to brew of the Jersey Shore.Parking: Be careful and cautious with the shared parking situation as many are grabbing and going. That said, I've never not seen a space.“
“We ordered 3 pumpkin style cold brews! Each were $5 and this place is amazing. They don't charge extra for milk replacements. Go ahead and order your almond, oat milk or more! They got busier as we were waiting for our order. They sell merchandises like sweaters, cups and etc. Super cute! FYI the coffee is a little strong and typically it doesnt come sweetened- must ask for it!“
“Hands down, best peanut butter chocolate combo cups/ball I've ever had in my life. My hubs and I hid the box from our teenagers. I've had the cookies, brownies, cupcakes, and brownie cookies. All really great. Highly recommend. The service was above and beyond as well. They even wrote to keep cold on 1 box, which was really helpful. Thank you, Cravings!“
“I've lived in Point Pleasant my whole life and nowhere else has ever been as good to me as Klotz's. Every single meal here-- breakfast or lunch, has been so good. Nowhere else has the local lunch counter feel like Klotz's does. And in case you've heard about their famous Myth, yes, it is THAT good. I also adore the patty melt. It's cash only and that's fine by me for how wonderful eating there is!“
“This place was so cute! Stopped in for a little brunch. The atmosphere was inviting, the people were very friendly, and the smells of the food were pleasant. I ordered an Avocado BLT with a Caramel Macchiato. The walls are decorated with imported coffees, collected license plates from Aruba, and beautifully simple pieces of art. There is also a nice little bakery counter that showcases some freshly made goods. There are also tables and WiFi available if you need to work while visiting. Everything was tasty and I’ll definitely be back the next time I’m in the area. Enjoy the yums!!Vegetarian options: Options availableDietary restrictions: There are plenty of allergy and lifestyle friendly food choices (breads, spreads, milks, fruits)Parking: Small lot that shares with other businesses.Kid-friendliness: As long as children are welcome in and there are food options to please them, it’s kid friendly.Wheelchair accessibility: Most seating can be accessible for wheelchairs, as well as the outside area.“
“Small town gem! Called to order a lemon meringue pie for dad's birthday, we didn't see on the regular menu but Jay was happy to make it for us. When we picked it up you could tell the pie was just "scratch made," it looked rustic and refined. The flavors were so fresh and vibrant our guests were blown away. Thanks to Sunburst we are now a "Pie on your Birthday" family. Peruvian chicken empanadas were awesome too, crust is so flakey and nice authentic touch with the raisins. Can't wait to try more stuff!“
“Perfect relaxing breakfast with the family. Seated right away on a Wednesday morning. Friendly wait staff and great service. Ordered The big easy benedict and huevos rancheros, a French press, German chocolate latte and 3 different hot chocolates (for the kiddos). Everything was delicious and fresh. The price is very good if not better than most common diners in this area. The food and coffee is 1000% better too. This is our favorite breakfast place when we visit NJ. Definitely recommend.“
“I love this place! I wish they were open earlier so I could get a juice to take to work every morning. The prices really can’t be beat and it’s so close to me. I’ve had their juices, açaí bowls, breakfast wrap and blended bowls. Everything has been really fresh and delicious. The staff is always friendly and helpful too, which is huge. My new favorite “
“First place: per friendly, and for that reason alone the score is 100! Long live North America and its inclusive people. The service, the location and the service are like a bonus, and they are great! From now on, my daughter and I have become regular customers.“
“I’ve been coming to LUK for over a year now and I wish I knew about them sooner. Every single meal my family and I have ordered is 100% clean, fresh and ACTUALLY tastes amazing. Coming from someone who used to eat McDonalds everyday and only enjoyed fries foods…LUK is one of the main reasons I was so successful in my lifestyle change and developing healthier habits.Just the other day my step daughter was complaining about a sore throat and one of the owners went out of her way to make a specialty drink just for her and she loved it! I go out to eat here 2-4 times per week and I would go every single day if I could! The staff is so sweet and kind! They even remember exactly how we all love our food.10/10 recommend!Dietary restrictions: They offer so many gluten free and vegan options that taste amazing!“
“We’ve been here a few times now and have never been disappointed. Today we went in and they must have over heard that it was my birthday. The girl behind the counter wished me a happy birthday and later in the day when I opened the box with my apple tart, there was a little happy birthday sign with it. It’s truly the little things in life and I appreciated it.“
“Had to write a review of this place, it was so good! I got mint chip, and my dad got s'mores. The s'mores was so good I nearly bought my own! And the mint chip is one of the best I've ever gotten. Absolutely recommend going here, I'll be going back for sure! I'd give it 10 stars if I could.“
“Have lived in NJ for almost 25 years. This is by far THE BEST pork roll egg and cheese I have had in the state. The way Johnny assembles this sandwich is perfection. Every bite you take from one of his sandwiches literally gets better as you are finishing it. From the fresh rolls, and freshly sliced pork roll to a perfectly cooked egg with just the right amount of cheese and SPK to hold it together. I can literally say as I took a bite from this sandwich my exact words were “WOW”. I’ll be coming at least once a week from Belmar just to get my fix. Keep killing it Johnny this place is awesome!“
“Very nice place, and worth a visit if you are in the area of Spring Lake! I enjoyed a large, hot and flavorful cup of Assam black tea. However, they have lots of coffee, sweet chai lattes, matcha, hazelnut, vanilla and other flavors of syrup for... so many good drinks to choose from in three varieties: hot, iced and frozen. Go there. There's good parking in front especially before 9am. It's friendly and people seem to bring their dogs which is fun to see. Also, lots of baby carriages and strollers with moms boosting up their caffeine to help get them through the day. Good decor reflecting the ocean with shells and driftwood, and some products for sale such as candles and napkins printed with cute sayings. Overall, it made me happy to go there. I'd love to go again!Parking: There is easy, 3-hour, free, street parking right in front of the coffee shop. It begins at 9am. You can park conveniently with no worries, especially if you are an early bird like I am. ?“
“Average spot with premium prices.Another Voodoo Doughnuts clone without the whimsy, artisinal flair, or creativity. Looks like an NYC place with a hashtagged photo OP swing, NYC prices, but not NYC quality. Donuts are too sweet and will give you the sugar just from one bite.Ice cream, on the other hand...DAMN. Maybe it's because I got a cone in January snow but for $5 I got a packed cone plus 3+ scoops on top. I've never had flavored cones before, the salted pretzel with the salted pretzel ice cream was a top 10 cone ever.“
“Love Rook coffee in Wall and have been there when in the area. Just wanted to share, that at my last visit our order was like drinking milk and water, and at the cost of two coffees, it is unacceptable. I thought of going back and asking for replacements, but our server was so sweet and I felt uncomfortable. In hindsight, I made a mistake in not doing that. I will definitely go back because I love the coffee!! Just an off day.“
“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!!“
“Barista named Spencer was very friendly and helpful. Had the Iced American and wife had the iced wild berry hibiscus tea. Both were excellent. The owner stopped by to make sure our experience was a good one. Great ambiance, we will be back!“

“I came to Sweet DaniB through a referral and all I can say from start to finish it was a most enjoyable smooth experience. Dani couldn’t be more pleasant and easy to communicate with. And when it came time to pick up my cookies the looked absolutely gorgeous, exactly what I wanted and tasted amazing. I will be adding Sweet DaniB’s To my go to entertaining list of vendors for sure.“
“A nice coffee shop on Broad Street in Red Bank. There is a lot of space and is a great place to park yourself and work. The space is bright and comfortable to relax in. They offer a variety of simple eats, baked goods and coffee beverages. They have specials like gingerbread latte. For some holiday cheer The staff is friendly and very helpful.“
“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!“
“Highly recommend this place !!!This place is amazing! They offered the best coffee and juices which ı like most Monmouth Power It has carrot,pineapple,orange and ginger.Always the best attitude to its costumers. I just want to keep coming back to this place.???“
“This shop and others like it (they have a few Rooks, right?) seem to offer really tasty smooth coffee. Unfortunately I'm just a visitor as I no longer in NJ however if you are near their locations and you want coffee I think many would agree its great spot. I've only been to Rook maybe 2 - 4 times but every time the service is good and coffee is excellent. I want to say I had Sumatra Roast.“
“The store is so much cleaner than it was before. Better service in mornings, food & coffee ALWAYS fresh. Better decorations. This store has changed for the better 100% I love morning crew. Thank You Dunkin!Kid-friendliness: My kids love the new speciality donuts! We saw Reindeer ? and Snowman ⛄️ Donuts! Absolutely the cutest ? No dunkin can compete!“
