“I recommend Everything. It starts with the greeting from everyone in the shoppe. No matter what you choose you can’t go wrong. Love all the seasonal specials and the every day treats. Breads are also fantastic. If you’re in OG it’s a Must stop“

“I agree with the other review that you are wasting your time reading Cats Luck reviews when you could be eating there! The food was delicious! And not very expensive at all. I got the fried chick’n and scrambled tofu (loaded). Great flavor with plenty of food. Really hit the spot and seasoned perfectly. The service was incredible also! Great vibes with plenty of recommendations. Just great atmosphere overall. They were packed today so I ended up enjoying the food in my car, but nonetheless looking forward to sitting down and eating one day. I got desserts (chocolate peanut butter Bundt and apple cider donuts) for later also. Haven’t tried those yet but they look amazing too!! Updated from previous review on 2026-01-03“

“this place is the talk of the town. Nick’s croissant gave me déjà vu of when I went to Paris in April. A small but mighty, local business. Go when they open or you’ll miss the best bites. Easily five stars. It’s the best place in town.“

“Drove down from Bergen County the other day. Let me tell you, it was worth the trip. The coffee cake just melts in your mouth. Many other delights in this bakery. The brownies looked amazing. They also have a nice selection of gluten free items“

“Love this place! It is truly a shop for bakers, including amateurs like myself! They have a big variety of cookie cutters, molds, baking tools, food coloring, etc. Came in recently and was pleasantly surprised at the variety of seasonal items, including Halloween cookie cutters and takeaway boxes, sprinkles, and cake decorations. Prices are very reasonable with most cookie cutters around $2-3 which can’t be beat! Staff is friendly and knowledgeable about the products.“

“Wonderful place. Cozy and delicious. Like Europe.“

“Stopped by Papa Ganache in Manasquan and didn’t realize it was a vegan bakery until we got there. I ordered the cake roll, s’mores bar, and an Americano. Everything was delicious! The flavors were really good, and even though the texture isn’t quite like a non-vegan baked good, the taste totally made up for it.“

“This is the best bakery. My family and I have been coming here since the 80s, and you can't find better cakes anywhere. Their baked goods are consistently delicious and so incredibly pretty. (Our favorite is the cake in the shape of a hamburger! Amazing!) Their almond macaroons are the best I've ever had. What a wonderful place.“

“I found out about the bakery while looking on Google for a one that was open late on Sunday. I tried their cupcakes and loved them. It's been almost a year now going there every week. It's run by 3 family members. Husband, wife and daughter. They are very friendly and the wife makes a special request pie for me every week and the price is very reasonable. I will keep going there and have told others about the shop.“

“Sugar bakeshop provided the most beautiful baby shower cake for my daughters baby shower at Half moon point grill. Not only was it delicious, it was made with so much attention to the theme. Take a look at the photo, it’s absolutely gorgeous. Five stars, cake was fresh and moist and delicious. Great job, thank you. Update ; Sugar bake shop closed and new people took over the space. They did custom sugar cookies and baptism cake delivered to venue . The cookies were beautiful and cake delicious.“

“Our wedding cake came from Cameo. It was amazing! It was everything I wanted on our wedding day, beautiful, light and incredibly delicious! I highly recommend Cameo for anyone who is looking for a bakery for their wedding cake.“

“Exceptional pastry boutique!
Whomever the pastry artist is here goes above and beyond to make sure that their pastries are perfect. The raspberries taste like perfect raspberries. The oatmeal cookies are soft and delicious. Everything is perfect here right down to the atmosphere. Perfect location too.“

“So happy you guys reopened, a staple of my childhood! Best bagels at the Jersey Shore hands down, and now they offer delicious homemade spreads! I got the mini with Veggie cream cheese and that will be in my weekend rotation from now on. Also the entire place is sparkling clean. I can't believe its the same place. Bravo!!

Vegetarian options: Limitless veggie options!“

“Simona’s Bakery is amazing. She made a beautiful and delicious cake for my daughter’s 30th birthday. Along with the cake we enjoyed 4 dozen of her awesome mini cupcakes. Everyone loved it all. So much so that I didn’t even get a cupcake.lol. Heading to New Jersey in a few weeks and I have every intention of picking up my own order of cupcakes. Thanks Simona and staff for helping to make my daughter’s party a success.“

Parking: Easy to find parking on street on regular days. During peak season parking can be rough.

Kid-friendliness: Very kid friendly“

“Amazing food, friendly staff, delicious coffee🖤“

“Crumbl Cookies is absolutely delicious! The cookies are always fresh, soft, and packed with flavor. I love that they rotate their menu with new and exciting flavors each week—it keeps things fun and tasty. The staff is friendly and helpful, and the store is clean and inviting. Perfect for a sweet treat or a gift for someone special. Highly recommend stopping by!“

“Awesome bread. The bread room is open to the public and they also do wholesale. Rustic Italian sesame seed loaf as a baguette style is amazing. Buy 3 if you want 1 to make it home!“

“I have had these Bundt cakes for many occasions and they are always delicious. The staff at the store is always pleasant and polite. The store is so cute and always clean and organized. Thank you making our events so special 😍“

“What a choice of bagels and cream cheese! I worked with Maria for a special event for the PR Council of Greater AC. She was more than helpful and the bagels were fresh and delicious! We will be back every time! Thank you!“

“These cookies are so easy to prepare. They start out as frozen balls of cookie dough that you arrange on the included parchment paper then bake! After just 15 minutes, you have the perfect chocolate chip cookie. Moist and chewy with melted chips inside and a crisp, golden cookie finish on the outside. Delicious and made right here in NJ. Buy local, eat deliciousness!“

“I visited yesterday morning before work and had a great experience. This location has a team that stands out from other locations. It fits in wonderfully with Red Bank’s culture even though it’s a recognized franchise brand and the coffee is delicious. The chocolate and strawberry croissants are very fresh. I love the modern aesthetic and layout mixed with the friendly atmosphere. I felt like I was in an high end “Mom and Pop shop”. It was also cleaner than most of the local coffee shops. Definitely suggest coming here if you want some reliably quick and tasty food/coffee in a busy Red Bank“

“There's a new guy in charge! The guy with the glasses and does the cooking, he is legit and doesn't forget anything. He's very cool.

These bad reviews were from a year ago when they had different workers and yes, they were horrible.

But these new workers are awesome!“

“Their delicious Ice cream sundaes! 😋👍❤️“

“It's one of the best donuts I have ever had in this area. There is a lot of variety, a kind staff, and a great environment. I would definitely come back!“

“Such great staff and delicious pretzels!“

“I got my tires changed there & it was taken care of nice and professionally. The mechanic name there is Rick & he was pleasant. Unfortunately he’s the only person working there due to shortage of staff and handles all the negativity from others due to lack of help. They need to give him a raise & some help! Cause he is doing amazing! 10/10“

“Best ice cream flavors and assortment of items!“

“Great service great crepes def recommend! The Elvis is to die for! �“

“Their vanilla is perfect. Creamy and rich. Their peanut-chocolate ice cream sandwich is the best ice cream sandwich ever. They just need to adjust the flavor on some flavors. Malted Cookie, Peanut Butter Cherry, Salted Caramel WAY TOO SALTY. I mean so salty, it ruins the ice cream experience.“

“Excellent food- one of the best breakfasts we’ve had in Monmouth / Ocean Counties. Definitely underrated“

“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.“
