“This is by far the best Dunkin I’ve ever seen. They are crazy fast with the service. Extremely well run. I’ve been going there all summer and so impressed by the people that work there.

The amazing coffee is just a bonus.“

“This is such an amazing place! Delicious coffees, an awesome atmosphere, and simply some of the best plants you can get in the area; it’s a completely wonderful experience every time I visit! The owner, Nubia, is beyond kind, knowledgeable, and always so welcoming! This female owned and operated small business should be celebrated for how amazing it truly is! Skip the big coffee chains and big box shops and support this incredible, local businesses, instead!“

“Wow, needed a coffee before summoning the energy to gut it out for some striper in the surf on a snotty day - and this place was so far beyond expectations given most coffee shops aren’t even open this time of year.

The place is perfect. The latte was amazing and the avocado toast, recommended by the very awesome Jeannette who I assume is the owner, was better and more interesting than most anything I get back in Southern California (no, that’s no hyperbole). Holiday vibes are on point too! Thanks for having me!“

“I am in love with this place and will be back anytime I'm in Ocean Grove! The atmosphere is wonderful, love the huge windows letting in beautiful light, all the plants, and plenty of seating. Very calming atmosphere. The coffee was also super good! 🌟“

“So, we’re from boston and are visiting my son. Not too much to choose from around here in terms of restaurants. But suddenly I see a sign Minas Grill and went in just because of the word grill. It’s Brazilian! My heart is singing! Great coffee, the food is like home cooked. Loved the cheese bread and you can shop here too! Lovely warm people and so helpful! So we’ll be back while we’re here.“

“We were in the area and my son was hungry so we stopped by. We ordered avocado toast which was delicious and home fries. I didn't realize that home fries was cubed potatoes, more like hash browns but bigger pieces. My son was looking to dip fries into ketchup!!
When I explained that this is not what we had in mind , they quickly refunded the item without further questions. They also told me to keep the potatoes which I enjoyed! Everything was perfect !!! we would definitely go again!!!“

“Polite, friendly service. Clean, inviting environment. Fun music ( not too loud for 8 am). Good, quick food. Hot coffee (and HOT SYRUP!). No disdain that I was paying with a gift card for 2 free meals, and taking 1 togo- super accommodating and bonus points bc that's not a great table to get on a Sunday morning. kudos Joshua 😊“

“We were invited to the friends and family breakfast the day before opening. We were all absolutely floored by this place and have already made a new tradition to come every sunday! The wait staff and INCREDIBLE, they are so sweet and so speedy! They were so considerate, turned the fire place off for us, and talked with our kids. The restaurant is clean, calm, almost beachy feeling. The most important...the food was absolutely amazing AND at an incredible price. The portions are large and VERY affordable, while looking and tasting like high end breakfast. This place makes you feel rich, and will thankfully not give your bank account the bill.“

“All my coffee beans come from Rook! Some of my coffee mugs, too. I have the kind of machine that grinds whole beans before pouring. Rook's Nicaragua and Guatemala are favorites. The staff are all so friendly. Lots of locations, too.“

“We took our dog to Asbury Park Dog Beach for first time and randomly searched for coffee, didn’t know we find the hippest nicest spot ever! My flat white was amazing and my wife’s oatmeal with the strawberry compote was one of the best breakfast items we ever found anywhere. Thank you!!“

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

“Great pour overs, well trained staff“

“Forget the rest, AP is the best.
Don’t be fooled by new comer coffee shops in Asbury Park. If you want good fresh roasted coffee, look no further. Take the walk to 2nd Ave. The folks working are always kind and there is comfy seating if you want I stay. The iced coffee is god tier, probably the best I’ve ever had. Rich and flavorful but no bitterness. I’ve been coming here for years and have started bringing the beans home for when I’m not in town. I’ve ordered also from their website and deliver was fast and easy. Now when I have visitors at my home they remark at how good my coffee is, the best they say. I say yes, yes it is.“

“Dutch Coffee!!! Wonderful staff and a cozy environment.“

“Port Coffee Roasters is so much more than just grabbing a cup of coffee. Its an experience. The owners and staff are very knowledgeable and personable. Each cup of coffee is made to order and the end product is pure deliciousness. The owners Grace and Greg roast their own beans in a state of the art roaster right on premises. They prepare delicious fresh baked goods daily, and have a true passion for their craft.“

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

“Everything is always so delicious and even though it’s a little far from me I try to make a trip at least once a week since it’s my favorite spot!“

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

“Coffee was delicious and so was my acai bowl. Freshest bowl base had in the area and the guy working there was so nice. I frequently come back to Jersey to visit family. Really liked they had a kids table with coloring for my nephew too. This is definitely a go-to now!“

“BRICK: walking into California Cold Co. feels like stepping into a perfectly timed midday reset with buzzing energy, great music, and a crowd happily fueling up on caffeine.

Leashed and friendly dogs are welcome inside as well as at the outdoor tables, making it an easy stop for you and your pup.

Their craft drinks are thoughtfully made, with a mix of everyday favorites and creative seasonal specials, plus light bites to round out your visit. We loved spotting a couple of other dogs soaking up the outing with their families, always a good sign you have found a gem.

They also have a location in Manalapan, so you have got options when the craving hits“

“Absolutely love what Makana’s has brought to Asbury Park! From the moment you step in, you’re greeted with a burst of fresh, inviting aromas and a smile from the friendly staff. I tried their signature Philly Wrap and the Ube latte, both of which were out of this world!“

“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 is hands-down my favorite coffee shop. Everything on the menu is incredible. I’ve tried so many different drinks here, and not once have I been disappointed. Whether it’s a matcha drink, coconut water hydrator, an iced cold brew special or one of Jen’s signature creations, every cup is thoughtfully made and absolutely delicious. There’s an item on the menu for every taste and preference, from skinny drinks to collagen protein add-ins, kid friendly ice pops, and more. You can tell that a lot of love goes into every detail — from the coffee itself to the welcoming vibe and friendly service. It’s the kind of place that instantly becomes a local favorite, and once you try it, you’ll keep coming back. If you’re even thinking about trying this place, do it. You’ll be a regular after one sip.“

“first time my wife and I were there for breakfast today the best bacon egg and cheese I ever had very clean courteous staff we will be back.“

“From the minute that we got there until we left very friendly.Great service!! It was our first time there.They gave us this beautiful salad on the house! Our food was delicious! GOOD bread,Eggplant parmesan,lasagna, cavitelli and broccoli rob. The meatballs are possibly the best i've ever had out, not even kidding. The red sauce was delicious, teeny bit salty for me but by far better than what I have experienced in the recent times I have been out to eat. Can't wait to go back. Very friendly atmosphere!“

“Pop's makes the best cookies!!! I ordered trays of minis for a wedding and they were fabulous! Everyone loved the chocolate chip, oatmeal raisin, double chocolate chip, lemon blueberry and sugar cookies! And, they were able to provide some GF options which were also delicious. Kudos to Raechel who helped me through the ordering process. Wonderful customer service. Next we'll have to try the "regular" sized cookies!“
