Had them catered in the office. Food handling was not sanitary - the staff were all wearing disposable gloves, but they would pick up food and fill your bowls using their glove wearing hands, then immediately use the same glove wearing hand to work with their iPads. It's unclear what purposes these gloves served.
Love this place! Sara was amazing thank you

Love it here. They give students a discount if you present your id. The food is always to die for and makes me feel healthy. Always fresh. I get and recommend the mowie wowie salmon bowl in a size regular / small. I always end up with leftovers unless I’m starved. Do NOT underestimate how much food they give you in a regular bowl. Everyone I’ve invited over always think they want a biggie bowl because their appetite is big and not one has EVER finished even half of their bowl. The original bowl has plently enough to leave you feeling satisfied. Id argue that the biggie bowl is almost share size. They give good portions for the price and the quality of the ingredients is better than any other poke bowl place I’ve tried. I hope this pit stop NEVER closes. It’s nice and clean on the inside too, never smells fishy or bad and they are nice if you treat them nice. The customers are shitty though so don’t go inside giving them attitude!!! They hired amazing staff so treat them with respect!! You don’t know who they had to serve before you showed up!! The tuna bowl is also good, it’s just a variant of the mowie wowie bowl. I haven’t ventured the menu but I’ll update when I do.

I’m really disappointed about that place, I buy 2 bowls. 1 chicken and Salmon. The chicken was spoiled with a sour smell ???? the salad was not washed and the leaves were withered.
It's not as shown in the photos, really disappointed ??????

My friend and I are on our health kick and wanted a healthy lunch. We got adventurous, googled our diet requirements and found Fresh Coast. The servers are friendly, well spoken, well mannered and professional. They were patient during our order process and served us our bowls.
I had the omega bowl which was mainly quinoa, leafy greens, salmon, mangoes and a little mashed avocado. There was a green dressing/sauce served with it which gave the bowl moisture and added flavor. My only complaint is that the quinoa was very dry and definitely needed the dressing. To-go I had a chia pudding. They let me choose the fruit to be mixed in. I added blueberries and mangoes. The chia pudding was filled to the brim and topped with my requested fruit. My friend had a similar bowl along with a smoothie. She enjoyed her bowl and had similar feedback about the quinoa.
The atmosphere is lighthearted and upbeat with jazzy Caribbean yoga music filtering throughout the location.
We will definitely be back.
Vegetarian options: Mostly vegan and vegetarian options.

Pricey, but Justified & WORTH IT! Even at 11am, the quinoa & veggies tasted FRESH, fish had flavor & shakes were good. 10/10 would recommend!
Just please keep things up to date. App says open at 11 but Google maps says earlier and the app doesn’t have a full menu, better off ordering in person, quick in & out

When I tell y’all this salad was made with love!!! I had the opportunity to chat with the worker(s) & it was so much fun! The worker who made my order had amazing customer service & recommended me cool things to do/visit around New Jersey, giving the fact that I recently moved out here from NYC! I built my own salad and was able to put an endless amount of toppings on it with no complaint! The Caesar dressing is sooo good!!! I just love the ambiance of the place & the prices were very reasonable. My salad came up to $16.53. I absolutely will be coming back again & again!

EDIT: The owner has responded to this and my review is still the same: We were there April 30th from 20:35-20:40 and were told by the woman behind the counter that the folks in front of us were the last order. Just update your business hours to 20:30 if you don't want to serve customers after 20:30... We went out of our way to come...Review: These folks need to update their hours... We got there at around 20:35-20:40 and there were two other people getting smoothies and we were told they were the last order. I could understand if we showed up 5 minutes before closing, but I don't think it's crazy to get an order to-go, almost half an hour before their "alleged" closing time.I'm sure the food is fine. Too bad I didn't get to eat any of it. Would recommend you arrive there 8PM at the latest.

I go to this location all of the time because they have a great skinny chicken salad. However, the service is absolutely horrendous. Today (1/23/2024) I arrived at 6:30 PM and there was one employee behind the counter. She acknowledged me and asked if I could wait because she was behind on the pick-up orders. I specifically stated that I would not mind waiting so long as they actually had the ingredients for the skinny chicken (I’ve visited the location in the past when they ran out of ingredients). She stated “yes, we have the skinny chicken.” I patiently waited for an additional 20 minutes until a second employee emerged from the back and asked me for the order. The first employee stated that I ordered a skinny chicken. The second employee asked if I wanted white or brown rice. I was confused because the skinny chicken comes with quinoa (I don’t eat rice). She then stated that they are actually out of quinoa and can’t make the skinny chicken with the listed ingredients. The fact that I waited nearly 30 minutes just to be told that they actually did not have the ingredients when I very explicitly asked that from the beginning of the long wait is ridiculous. The food is generally good but they need to do better with staffing, communication and keeping key ingredients prepared.
