“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!“

“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.“

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

“Fantastic! Been going here for years and Danielle, Alice and all the staff are amazing as well as Donovan who is in college. Keep that wonderful food coming Alice!“

“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!!“

“Been going here since it opened, as a great place to sit in the sun outdoors, or inside at the various seating options. Fine coffee, great service from long time friendly staff members here, and a top place for casual meetings on the West Side of Red Bank. Limited but tasty food options.“

“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.“

“Great food great service!!“

“you dads famous pizza💖 not to mention ur dads award winning personify 🥰🧡“

“Just fabulous. I heard of Rook coffee frankly from Alix Earle on TikTok. Anyways I was in red bank and saw a sign and thought that might be that place she kept talking about.

I didn’t have high expectations or anything but I was curious. And it is fabuloussssss - the New Orleans cold brew! I had New Orleans cold brew in New Orleans and always try it black first. When I did it had a very licorice bitter taste. Rook advertised theirs as dark chocolatey and that is what it truly was. I could drink it black but then I added oat milk and it is divine. Love love love! Thank you Rook! Come to NYC 😘“

“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.“

“Panera makes rather good and unique sandwiches and salads. They don't seem to have a large variety on the menu, but what they make I think is pretty good. I do enjoy their bread, especially with soup. Like being able to customize the salads with the toppings and everything on the screens. For me this is a nice convenience.“

“BARRY AND BUBI ARE GR8?!
I HAVE NO WORDS
RECENTLY WAKING FROM A COMA THAT I WAS GIVEN ZERO PERCENT CHANCE OF WAKING FROM
BUBI AND HIS PARTNERSHIP WITH
2 GOOD 2 GO
BLESSED ME WITH THE MOST DELICIOUS BAGELS AND MUGFINS SOUTH OF BROOKLYN!!“

“Fanagle has always been a local staple in Long Branch and admired by so many locals for decades. Yes, sometimes there are long lines… however, this is telling of the quality of food Fanagle provides. I’d be more concerned if the place was empty, which, it never is. Once again, a good sign.

It is an over the counter ordering establishment and the staff always brings you your order to your table if you have chosen to eat inside. Due to the increased traffic and long lines the staff can understandably be overwhelmed and most likely annoyed by the amount of rude customers that walk in there. In fact, they do a wonderful job dealing with people who are not so kind.

Krystal and team always say hello and I have never had a bad breakfast at Fanagle. The bagels are amazing, the breakfast sandwiches will cure anything in about 30 seconds and I love the old school vibe. The last thing we need in NJ is another bagel place that looks like a hospital serving hospital food and Fanagle feels like home.

Fanagle is the staple we all grew up with and will continue to be one of our favorite spots.“

“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!“
