“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!“
“Small clean restaurant with counter seating. I had lunch here today with my niece. I ordered the steak chimmurra taco and it was absolutely amazing. Next ime I'll order the sauce on the side though because it won't be as messy to eat if dipped. Also, the blueberry drink was superb. A bit expensive, as organic is, but worth it. I'll be back!“
“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!!“

“Cute BLD & crepe spot. BYOB. We stumbled upon this cute place after not being able to get a table at any of the local eateries with bars. All day BLD. Many people were getting crepes which looked yum! I got the short rib grilled cheese which came with a small salad and cup of tomato cheddar soup. I also ordered fries and so glad I did, as they were perfec! I love a REAL hand-cut fry! My husband got a cheeseburger with the addition of mushrooms and onions. It was cooked properly, and he said it was good. Came with fries. I think he was disappointed not to grab a beer, and I get it, but it was yummy, quick, and comfortable!“
“While I no longer live in New Jersey, every time I visit my family, I try to stop by The Buttered Biscuit. It is truly one of my top 5 brunch experiences in the country, and I’ve had a lot of brunch experiences in my life.It’s always busy and humming with energy. The benedicts are divine, the coffee is incredible, and the biscuits are absolute heaven. Highly recommend a visit. It’s worth the wait!“
“I love coming here to read or get some work done, but also love coming with my husband for breakfast or lunch. Everything from the atmosphere to the quality of food is impeccable. Have an espresso, read a book, and try one of their outstanding sandwiches. A true local treasure ♥️“
“BRIAN MAKES THE BEST GOD DANG BURGERS I'VE HAD ALL YEAR, or..... ever? I've tried the Canadian Maple and the French Onion burger. I'll be trying the rest soon.His Cuban sandwich has a pork cut in it that is cooked sous vide, you can't beat this at this price point.“
“Very cool and hip breakfast and brunch spot that really experiments with traditional favorites. The chicken and waffles provide a level of comfort that only real comfort food can provide. The brisket sandwich is flavourful, but you can end up with too much gristle. The coffee options are excellent and tasty. A hint of cinnamon or nutmeg, depending on the drink, really makes the beverage something special. Service is generally good, but some servers are more genial than others. Outdoor seating is a great option when temps climb above 60 degrees.“
“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.“
“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!“
“Great little coffee shop on Main Street in Bradley Beach. It can be easy to miss between the hustle and bustle of the brewery and breakfast restaurant next-door but keep an eye out for Paired. I stopped in on a Saturday morning just for some coffee and the folks behind the counter were pretty busy, but the service was fast and very friendly. I am more of a classic ice coffee person and they serve cold brew but that wasn't enough for me to knock off a star. A little on the pricier side but it is understandable because I ordered a cold brew and the location. So make your way to Bradley Beach and grab some coffee and snacks from this great new place.“
“My kids and I love Catsbury Park! Perfect hour of hanging out with every cat personality you can imagine. Kitties and space are clean and well-kept, and the staff is very attentive to the needs of both cats and visitors. It's a real gem.“
“I was coming back from Sandy Hook, and I wanted to stop for breakfast. This place caught my eye. A small but quaint place.I ordered the scramble eggs w/ cornbeef( very good ? )The service was good,very nice . I would definitely go back ( I don't know why I haven't). ????“
“This place is GREAT!!!! I'm not always in the area a lot, but when I am, I make sure to stop in. Everything I've had is good, but my absolute favorites are the Chicken Quesidilla and the peril Asado. The servers are always friendly and attentive. The space is large enough to accommodate a large crowd, but it's still comfortable enough to have personal space.I forgot to take pics but will get them next time.“
“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.“
“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 come here often. You will wait for a seat. You will wait for your food and it's worth it. Love the staff. The ladies the young men are marvelous. I drive far to come here. It's worth it. My coffee mug is never even halfway empty.“
“Great menu and open kitchen concept. The menu has some really eclectic items and I had breakfast and the regular Eggs Benedict. But there was so much great lunch stuff that I ended up getting a quart of Guinness Stew and a quart of chili to go, both were excellent! I dropped almost 100.00 on breakfast and to go items ?Vegetarian options: There are definitely vegetarian items all over the menu.Kid-friendliness: I saw children in there and items on the menu.“
“What a wonderful surprise at the Bradley Beach train station! My husband and I were looking for somewhere different to go for breakfast and we found reviews for Back In Time Cafe on Yelp and had to try it! I had the sunshine sandwich which was amazing and the husband had the frittata which he said was excellent. We started our breakfast by sharing potato pancakes. The best potato pancakes we had in ages! I'm still thinking about them... We can't wait to return for lunch because there were definitely lunch items that we must try, and those potato pancakes, yum! Attentive, friendly, excellent service. Parking is plentiful at the train station. Indoor and outdoor seating. We will definitely be back very soon!“
“The coffee was really good but the corn muffin I got was so stuck to the paper that it fell apart into pieces and was really hard to eat. It may have been a little dried out I'm not sure. The premises was clean and neat. I would come back.“
“OMG went there for the 1st time the other day and I'm like : why haven't I been here sooner the food was amazing cheap prices and OMG the portion don't come if u just snacked because the portions are huge I was so blown away how inexpensive it is and how big the meals and service icing on the cake. U won't be disappointed oh and they have T-shirts and coffee much u can buy too“
“First time eating there today, and I ordered the Mediterranean salad with grilled chicken on top. The salad was great, presentation was beautiful, and taste was awesome. I was greeted when I walked in and I was acknowledged and told to “ have a good day” when I walked out. Place is clean and has a nice setting. Will be going back“
“I feel so welcome here. The food is delicious ?I eat here most times I go out to eat.Dietary restrictions: They’ll make your order anyway you ask for. They’re very accommodating to your likes and preference.Kid-friendliness: They have finger foods that are popular with children.Wheelchair accessibility: I’m honestly not sure, I haven’t paid attention to that.“

“Most aren't aware that in addition to their amazing hams/turkeys/side dishes/desserts that they make really great sandwiches. I'm hoping the corporation figures out an advertising strategy to bring more people in so they will be open on Sunday's as well.It looks like I'm unable to post this review without choosing categories that don't impact my review so apologies if they seem irrelevant. Quarter baked honey ham just isn't a choice and the ones I have the company doesn't sell.“

“Ordered 20 breakfast sandwiches to bring to a work party. They had them ready for me right at 6:30am and even cut them in halves (as requested) and labeled what each was. They also packed up ketchup, salt, pepper, and napkins for me to take. The sandwiches were great. Their food is always great, classic breakfast food, but this time they really went above and beyond and I appreciated it a ton.“
“Wow this is a hidden gem. Great customer service. Food was amazing. The croissant is a MUST try. They warm it up and butter it perfectly. It was my first time there. I didnt know what to order. One of the waitress' recommended the Oaxaca sandwich. So I ordered Oaxaca sandwich. Best sandwich I've had thus far. Everything was perfect. This place is a must try. I'll be back. And prices were reasonable.“
“Friendliest bar in Monmouth County. Focus is on the genuine, rather than the pretty. If you care about the décor, go elsewhere. If you care about non-pretentious, friendly folks, and cheap drinks, and good, down-to-earth food, this place is tough to beat.“

“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!“
“Gorgeous, charming little cafe with beautiful pastries and delicious small plates. Had to knock off a star, partially due to the lackluster service, but mostly for the typos. If your whole gimmick is being a French style cafe and market, you should probably spell the French words on your menus correctly. Love absolutely everything else about this place though!“
“Awesome coffee... Nice/simple service... Jus wish they brought back some indoor seating and spruced the place up a little bit inside. But, it was a beautiful day out so sitting outside under the canopy to the side of the shop was perfect. Highly recommended for a solid cup of coffee with quality ingredients you can honestly taste! Will be back!!“
“I've been here a couple times. The service is really good. The girl at the front is really nice. Prices are good. My bagel tasted like what it's supposed to. The bread is not hard it taste fresh. However it just gets crowded really fast so you have to wait a while. I will be back though.“
“Talk about a hole in the wall! Morning after a wedding what else do you want but a greasy breakfast sandwich in your belly, right? Walking around, we saw a sign "Wall Street Cafe 16 steps down the alley" and, what do you know? There was a little door with a tiny sign and only a few indications we found what we were looking for. This one room cafe, that you really don't even walk into, was quite the find. A woman was there when we opened the door, asked what we'd like and proceeded to whip up two delicious bacon egg and cheeses. 15 minutes and $15 later, we had our sandwiches. They were a little pricier than I would have guessed but it was honestly one of the best BEC I've had in awhile. Lots of cheese and a perfectly cooked egg to make the entire sandwich nice a gooey. Trying to find the cafe? Well, just look for the sign on the street. And then look for the door with a table outside filled with odds and ends for sale. Make sure you have cash and you are okay with taking these sandwiches to the beach or on a walk since there is just one table. Sometimes the tiny little spots turn out to be the best gems. Worth trying if you want a classic breakfast sandwich on the go.“
“Okay the gelato and tuna salad/panini is to die for here. Great coffee too.The rustic European atmosphere is top notch, great friendly service and generally fun environment to hang out in. There is good music on all the time and a TV playing classic movies. I am not a big drinker but the Whiskey Sour (Gold Rush) is my favorite in town.“
“Not only are the baked goods delicious, but the woman who was working behind the bakery counter was such a kind soul. I was having lunch down the street at a place where there was no restroom, and I went into 2 other businesses asking to use the restroom and was turned away. When I came here, she let me use the restroom even though it wasn’t for the public, and then sent me home with a complimentary lemon bar. It was so unexpectedly nice - I wish more people ran their businesses this way.“
“I've been coming to this spot for years. The food is consistently good and the waitstaff has always been friendly. Coffee is great too and I am a bit of a coffee snob. I love their vanilla latte. Cozy on the inside and nice location on Cookman. Red Bank location is wonderful also- different vibe inside but food just as good.“
“In a strip center, easy to find. We tried the butternut squash soup, white bean with vegetables, the carrots and ginger, the chicken chili and the portobello soup. All are amazing and will warm up your bones! My favorite was the carrot and ginger, and they are all homemade and delicious.“
“Great place to visit if you in need of some quick food, fast service, with friendly employees, really cant go wrong with anything on the menu, from the bagels to the sandwiches everything is just right ! been going there for years and its not going to stop now !!!“
“Boardwalk Coffee is a gem hidden just off Pier Village. Yes, it's attached to the resort, but the vibe is very much a trendy coffee shop. And the food and coffee are considerably better than some of it's chain-brand neighbors.And if you're in the area at night, they run special events through the coffee shop. Check them out!“
“Small quaint diner on the corner with 6 booths, 6 tables, and 6 barstools. Service was fast, and portions were large. 3 chicken tenders on a large Belgian waffle and lox hollandaise with 2 hashbrowns couldn't be finished by my wife and I. Food was fresh and great, coffee bottomless and menu robust. $36 including tip.Vegetarian options: Omelets, sandwiches and moreParking: May have to check side streetsKid-friendliness: Kids were there when we went“
“This is my favorite restaurant I have ever been to.The young waitress does a fantastic job! The restaurant gets extremely busy but I don't mind the wait (25 mins is honestly nothing for how good the food is). I have absolutely no complains about the restaurant.I am definitely happy they have choose good waitstaff. I enjoy each one of them when I come in. Keep up the good work guys!!!“
“So good I love all their different flavors. You can get any kind of coffee, almond milk, oat, milk, skim milk, latte espresso. Even their assortment of teas is grand definitely come here you will not be disappointed. Excellent excellent excellent.“
“From Calvin Klein, to Juicy Couture, and Starbucks, and some awesome restaurants and clothing stores, we had fun here at Jersey Shore Outlet a month ago. Our first time here, and i was amazed to have had the pleasure of visiting here. I must say, very different concept from what we have back home in the West a little bit. Outlet is not very huge, but it is duarable. But not bad. Great customer Service. I was happy with my purchases. I hope i have the pleasure in visiting again.“
“Long lines, but good products. A visit to Asbury Park Roastery is always a highlight of my annual beach day. The service is always friendly and approachable, and especially given that there's almost always line, they move quickly. I can't tell if I like their coffee, or if I just love their perfect location and overall vibe. Maybe a mix of both? I always opt for an iced latte, so if you're a true coffee snob, I might not be the most helpful review. I'm a fan of local businesses, and Asbury Park Roastery checks the box.“
“My only regret is that I didn't try this place sooner. I called ahead for a reservation since we had a group of 8 - and it was a positive experience right from when they answered the phone.They're not relying just on the fact that they're doing something great here socially. Everything was fantastic and I plan to return soon. Check it out and see for yourself!“
