50 Best Cafes near Point Pleasant

“We had Castaways cater my daughter’s engagement party. The food was delicious and there was plenty of it. Chicken franchise, broccoli and cavatelli, roasted potatoes, mozzarella and tomato and shrimp cocktail that was amazing!!!! I’m definitely going to use them again!“

“Amazingly friendly customer service, great food and coffee with a good selection of gluten free options.“

“Just found this little gem of a place. Got the grilled chicken sandwich. It was really good. Plus they have poppi soda which is always a plus. I wish they offered bread options with the sandwiches instead of just rolls. My sandwich on sourdough would have been perfect. Great place. I will be ordering a lot from here“

“What a gem! Super cute venue, perfect for intimate gathering or workshops! The food is amazing, the staff is the greatest and the atmosphere is very warm and inviting! Really enjoyed my time there!“

“This is the cutest little coffee shop! It has the best atmosphere/ambiance and all the girls working were so nice. Drinks are delicious - I got the strawberry matcha and it was 10/10. The only thing is that it’s a tiny shop and gets packed quickly so just be aware you might be waiting a bit, especially if you go on the weekend - and parking can be a bit tricky.“

“Frequent customer, but always blown away with the freshness of their summer menu. The shrimply the best tacos, which was originally on a tostada last summer, was just as amazing, but didn’t sit as heavy as a tostada. Love the move to a light tortilla. The Mexi-Avo toast was so filling and the flavors melted together so nicely. Don’t forget the decor inside is so cozy, boho/havana vibe and perfect for a date or girl’s brunch. 10/10“

“Cannot praise the owner of this cafe more highly! Above and beyond service and help when I accidentally left my phone. Literally saved me from complete breakdown! Not to mention the excellent wait staff, coffee, and delicious avocado toast! Really looking forward to a return visit to this lovely town and excellent cafe. ☕️☕️🥑🥑🥯🥯“

“The food was amazing. I continue to come back for lunch for a quick, delicious, and affordable meal. The staff is extremely friendly, and have never messed up any of my orders. Definitely recommend checking them out and taking advantage of the $10 bowls. Gives chipotle next door a run for their money.“

“Your Gingerade was amazing!!! Is there anything beside honey, lemon and ginger in it???“

“Delicious, quality desserts & great service.“

“Simple, fresh, and nutritious food. I really enjoyed the open face smoked salmon bagel and lentil soup. A great portion for the price, and you aren’t left feeling uncomfortably full. Every ingredient tasted fresh and wholesome. There’s a nice European charm, and they offer imported items/snacks to take home :)“

“Sunday Oct 5th. Early morning., not crowded yet. There were nine of us. They were attentive and put tables together for us. Service was excellent. Breakfast was superb. Everything came out hot..cooked to order. Such nice people. Highly recommend.“

“I ordered a Spinach and Cheese omelette and it was delicious! I work at the business right next to MacroBites and they were kind enough to bring me my order when it was ready. Potatoes were amazing and the hot sauce was 10/10.

Definitely a place everyone should try out! Thanks!“

“Been going here for years. Me and my wife's go to breakfast spot. Food comes out fast and fresh. She always has the chilaquiles and I always have the western omelet. Same great attentive staff for years and even the cook will greet us when we get in. You won't be disappointed.“

“Third visit each time at a different location. Million dollar bacon #1 pick. Arianna in Brick was all alone on the floor @ 9am on a Sunday but she didn’t miss a beat. Great service!! Food amazing ! I’m not a coffee drinker usually but coffee was good enough for a second cup. Morning Meditation is great too
We will keep coming back“

“just as soon as u walk in the door.. You're greeted with a smile and a good morning..I met vickie who was just wonderful..the chef Philip is so knowledgeable and always up for a question.. Delicious fresh food“

“So many freshly-baked items, I had a hard time choosing. My students were thrilled that I went out of my way to shop here. While I bought 4 different items, I needed to get triple the amount of black and white cookies. I know now for next time. So many compliments and thank yous as students picked some of each item.“

“This was a soul quenching phenomena. Mike told me he got in around noon. A gem of a barista, people like him are an enormous part of the reason this culture and vibe are so revered.

Specialty coffee is anything if
not stylish, and like all things sophisticated, worth traveling for and often, waiting for. I will say though, if you go late it may be quiet enough to see the shop in a special and nuanced glow.

And yes, there is something about a remarkable cafe that just epitomizes it…. The connection to where the flavor comes from. Bean to mug, farm to table, and although the beans drift through the air and over oceans, if the culture of storytelling hits just right, you can get more than a cup of coffee at the right place.“

“This place is a Hidden Gem...I can't wait to go back for Sunset Friday night dinner!! My husband is the most critical person when it comes to Restaurants, BUT he LOVES the Food here, 😉😁 See ya soon!!!“

“Really good food and great staff. Place was clean and accommodating. Yolo French roast was heaven. 🥵“

“When you get iced coffee they offer regular ice or a coffee ball. It’s a ball of frozen coffee so it doesn’t water down your drink as it melts. It was good. I also had a pumpkin muffin. It would be nice if there was a mocha on the menu though.“

“Get place, nice people and it is indoor or outdoor dining!“

“Just a great, delicious cup of coffee .. and Mark has his shop running like clockwork“

“This place really surprised me! I just stopped in for a cup of coffee but spotted a large, heavy box of assorted brownies, blondies, and brookies, perfect for a party I was on my way to. And it really was perfect, a total hit! I had a brookie and it was amazing, so soft and delicious! I feel so lucky to have tripped across such a wonderful dessert box! Everyone loved it!“

“Awesome food ! If you’re around ‘squan I recommend grabbing a bite here. Yum“

“the complimentary wifi is always welcomed when patronizing any establishment. as a first time visit to this location, it was very bright and open. i got a pick two for lunch and was asked abt my beverage but not if i wanted bread or an apple. perhaps they didn't have apples. idk🤷🏽‍♀️the bread i didn't eat bc i already had bread for my sandwich. i would have been nice to be asked my choices. the same way Ashley asked abt my beverage choice. it's always nice to be asked.“

“This is an amazing place. As many of us know, people who are neurodivergent, have disabilities, and/or are special needs, have a hard time finding employment in their community. This adorable cafe is a trailblazer in community involvement, providing training and jobs for our special needs community!!!

The food is honestly FANTASTIC!

If you are in a rush, this may not be the place to go. If you have time to sit, chat, and relax, this is the perfect spot for a delicious lunch. 10/10 Would recommend.“

“Food is amazing ! 10/10 recommend I normally DoorDash to work but can’t wait to bring my family for lunch soon“

Busy time during bein hazmanim

“Went here after physical therapy as they are in the same building. The coffee was great- lots of selections- and the food was freshly made to order and delicious. I have had breakfasts and lunches here and always been pleased. They do tend to be on the 'health conscious' side which is nice! They offer a lot of things that you don't get in regular places. They also make smoothies and fresh salads. Go there even if you aren't going to the gym, p/t or a doctor appointment!!“

“Spending the weekend down the shore and stopped by for the first time..

Friendly staff
Quick seating
Very clean & cute decorated.
As a lesbian 🌈 couple, we also felt very welcomed. As sometimes, we have experienced unwelcoming energy, as some establishments. This just felt like being at home and WE truly appreciate that ❤️🙏🏼.

We ordered the egg whites, bacon w/ home fries. These were so yummy!! We also got the short stack. Pancakes were delicious too.

Yes, as others mentioned, price is a bit higher then your average dinner but then again, YOU'RE RIGHT ACROSS the street from the beach. So it kinda makes sense..
We plan on returning because overall, being treated w/respect, in a cute and cozy place with YUMMY, Fresh food, and delicious coffee, is worth the extra pennies.“
