The coffee was freshly grounded and hot, all of the fruit was ripe and perfect, the eggs were fluffy and my nephew loved the fresh muffins. We’re already making plans to come back to the area for breakfast“

“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. ☕️☕️🥑🥑🥯🥯“

“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.“

“The best breakfast and service locally! Wow. The portions are generous, the food absolutely delicious, biscuits OMG, and the kind staff who are so hard working….this is the absolute best spot!“

“Wonderful, friendly owners! Coffee is delicious and the greek baked goods/desserts are fantastic! Bonus... you can hone your greek language skills 🩵“

“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.“

“Delicious, quality desserts & great service.“

“Everything we ate was bursting with flavor and cooked to perfection the coolest vibe around looking back I felt like I was on vacation for that hour or so I was there pleasant staff fabulous fresh menu I can't even begin to say enough because everything on the menu is fabulous I wish this new restaurant the best of luck looking forward to returning as soon as possible“

“What a wonderful spot to catch a meal. The atmosphere is simple with plenty of room to grab a seat. We popped in when it was staffed by just one of the owners on staff for the day but he made sure to square us away as quickly as he could. We ordered two breakfast sandwiches and a short stack (3) of pancakes and every bite was DELICIOUS. Even down to the small side of salsa which may have been the best salsa I’ve ever had. They take pride in their food. But even more, I had no idea what the history of the place was. Hugely community driven, they’re passionate about taking care of their community. It’s a wonderful story we got the chance to hear directly from one of the owners. If we were locals we’d be regulars . Highly recommend this spot!!!“

“I have loved Jersey Roasters coffee since they opened a dozen years ago. Great cup for the drive to work, and on the weekends it has always been a great place to sit and enjoy a latte! I look forward to stopping by this weekend!“

“great sandwich selection. delicious and fast service.“

“I absolutely adored it here, the staff were all incredibly kind and fun to talk to, and the food was beyond delicious!! I felt super welcome here and stayed quite a while because of it. I will definitely be coming back, and 100% recommend this place for both food and vibes!“

“Pops bagels are the best bagels on the jersey shore. The chicken salad with lettuce and bacon on everything bagel can't be beat! Delicious! And join the sandwich club buy 6 breakfast sandwiches get one free. Get the card at the counter and make sure they punch it every visit!“

“So glad I found this place on my trip to Asbury. Coffee was stellar, pastries were great (had a croissant bread pudding? Ummm... what?), and the service was wonderful and even better... the vibe.

True community spot and will be my go to on coming back.“

“hands down my favorite coffee shop. The two girls behind the counter are so friendly and seem to know every customers order by heart. The coffee is always delicious and the service is always quick; everything served with a smile! i’d give more than five stars to this store and their staff!“

“Very chic space, love the large variety of gift options, all nice elegant and with a feel of uniqueness.
Flowers also look well curated and bouquets nicely put together.
Ordered two iced coffee mocha, per my preference it felt a bit water down, also ate the blueberry scone and Brooklyn blackout, they were yummy!!!“

“1st time ordering from here. We tried the Cobb Salad to go. Owner ran out of Blue Cheese but asked if we wanted an alternate cheese. Was still delicious! Very fresh and tasty! Portion size was good. Owner was also very friendly. Even though Keansburg is desolate due to the season, this restaurant is still open and it's worth the trip to either eat in or order out from here. I recommend giving them a try if you haven't already.“

“The food was spectacular, great service, quick to get seated even though they were super busy. Not a single note.“

“Always a fun place to take a walk with the family and spend the day shopping.“

“I am leaving a production catering review. My Kitchen Witch provided catering to a large production crew and security where I work (a large historical building on Wall Street). I couldn't believe how quick and professional that My Kitchen Witch was in set-up, the meals, and the breakdown of their service. The food was excellent, especially the pork carnitas and Mexican street corn! I definitely highly recommend and would love to head to their cafe in Monmouth Beach, New Jersey!“

“Father’s Day weekend breakfast at the local Panera was a delight. The manager personally serviced our party of three with a chipper demeanor. The music was family appropriate making the atmosphere very serene. I will recommend this lunch spot to my friends and family for a cozy little lunch.“

“Yummy My breakfast eggs and greens with avocado was amazing !“

“Visited in June 2025 for brunch during business trip. This charming tea shop never disappoints - been coming here since my London days when friends first introduced me.\n\n**FOOD QUALITY:**\nOrdered the Devon Cream Tea (around £9) - absolutely perfect. Two fresh scones served warm (cut into 4 pieces) with clotted cream and jam. The scones are lightly toasted and incredibly addictive! - easily finished all 4 pieces. This is clearly what most customers come for, and rightfully so.\n\nPreviously tried their sandwiches which are also excellent - substantial portions with great flavors, perfect for lunch.\n\n**ATMOSPHERE:**\nAuthentic old-style British tea shop atmosphere. Traditional decor - quintessentially British experience.\n\n**SERVICE:**\nEfficient and professional staff. Not overly chatty but very competent and quick service once seated. No unnecessary fuss - just good, reliable service.\n\n**WAITING TIME:**\nReservations may be possible (worth checking ahead!) though I walked in and waited. Had 3 groups ahead of me during busy period. Recommend either arriving early or calling to check booking availability to avoid queues.\n\n**VALUE:**\nExcellent value at £9 for cream tea set. Generous portions with large pot of tea and two substantial scones. Quality justifies the price completely.\n\n**LOCATION:**\nClassic London tea shop experience in the heart of the city. Perfect stop during sightseeing or business breaks.\n\n**PERFECT FOR:** Traditional British tea experience, tourists wanting authentic atmosphere, locals seeking quality comfort food, no issue with solo dining which is good!\n\n**TIPS:** Arrive early to avoid queues, definitely try the scones, consider takeaway option\n\nThis is my go-to spot every time I'm in London. The scones alone make it worth the visit - truly the best I've had anywhere. Highly recommend for anyone wanting an authentic British tea shop experience.“

“Warm, welcoming and attentive service, generous portions - perfect, classic brunch for my family while on vacation in Long Branch.

We came here on our first morning in town, right as they opened. We had the breakfast combo - pancakes, eggs, sausage and bacon with milk for my toddler. I also had a latte that was delicious. Their kids menu has a ton of options, super reasonably priced. He loved it, ate a ton and was so happy!

We sat in a large, comfy booth overlooking the ocean. There was plenty of space for the whole family and since it was early, even the toddler got to walk around a bit, when he was getting antsy.

Very unpretentious and exactly what we needed. Will definitely be going back!“

“This spot is a gem! Hands down some of the best home-made breakfast sandwiches I’ve had in ages. If you’re looking for servers and a pro kitchen, this is not the spot for you. If the idea of a bangin’ home cook serving up breakfast sandwiches through a little side hustle out of her kitchen appeals to you, this is highly recommended.The pork roll egg and cheese and bacon egg and cheese were both favorites of my girlfriend and I.Be advised: cash only and if it’s busy you may have to wait. It’s a one person operation but it’s worth it. There are a few tables outside but this is really more of a grab and go place.“

“Nothing fancy, but excellent food and service with a smile …. One of my favorites.“

“Wonderful place with great and different food combinations in their omelets, eggs, and sandwiches. Didn’t get to taste the pancakes, that looked amazing ! Love this place 😍“

“The Best. Sumatra , pumpkin Spice Oh love.“

“My coworker and I bring a group of adults with ‘special needs’ here once in while and everyone here is amazing. They are patient while we order food and don’t mind us taking up tables. They give us smiles and greet us warmly. We really appreciate this location and the people that work here.“

“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!!“

“If you are looking for a custom cake that looks amazing and tastes delicious, I highly recommend Cups & Cakes in Rumson. Denise and her team created a wonderful cake for our daughter with her college logo/High School grad. Everybody loved it! They go above and beyond to make your vision a reality! Thanks, Denise!“

“Great food great service!!“

“We love going there so family friendly and kids friendly“

“At the moment you come to that place the waiters give you a great feeling. Very comfortable team, it is a nice place to pass time with buddies or with your date. heavenly cuisine, experienced chef, decent price and generous service. Highly recommended.“

“BEST BREAKFAST SAMMICH PLACE EVER. Every item is made with love💜✨ The staff is super friendly, the vibe is always peaceful & positive. If it’s busy don’t call, just walk in & place ur order.. you’ll be out quick. Cash only, atm available.“

“Great coffee and bakery. But! You guys need to think about the environment!!! You produce an incredible amount of garbage. I stopped by to get coffee and some cake, sat and enjoyed it. Why do I need a whole box and a paper bag for the cake? Okay. I admit that you thought I would take it with me, and that's why you packed it like that, but no, you pack everything. I drank my coffee, ate my cake, and went to the trash can to throw out the packaging filled with this packaging. Why do you produce such an amount of garbage? Could you give me a plate, and that will be enough? Ultimately, all this packaging is included in my coffee and cake cost. But why pay for it if it will all be in the trash can in a minute? Everything you do is five stars, but I am depriving you of one for this garbage conveyor. Please change your approach and your attitude to the environment🙏🏻“

“Great customer service and delicious food“

“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!!“

“Great for adventurous taste, the Colombian food is known for its great rainbow of flavors that is charged with the magic realism that comes with a great moment, if you are looking for the closest to the original ... This is a great place to give yourself a pleasant moment“

“I have been going to gems since they first opened in Keansburg! They have good food and I understand with food cost they had to raise prices. I wish they would put a little bit more on breakfast sandwiches for what they charge. Other than that they still taste great and the employees are always friendly!“
