“My son took me to lunch here as he's familiar with it from working in the area. I got the veggie burrito, figuring it would basic. Wow, wow, wow. I have never tasted flavors like that, and it was beyond amazing! The owner and employees couldn't have been more accommodating and I can't wait to go back. Oh, and my son got the burger. Again, not your basic burger. It was so, so good. The best burger I've ever tasted in my life.“
“This is a true gem for coffee enthusiasts. Their seasonal coffee and lattes are a treat for the taste buds, offering unique flavors that perfectly capture the essence of each season. The best part is, they change their food menu every week, ensuring that there's always something new and exciting to try. Whether you're in the mood for a cozy latte or a freshly baked pastry, or sandwiche- LeGrand has you covered. The ambiance is inviting and cozy, making it the perfect place to stop by, sit down, and relax. If you're looking for a welcoming coffee house with a rotating menu of delicious treats, look no further than Le Grand Coffee House in Woodbridge and never stop bELieving!“
“Brandon was extremely knowledgeable and passionate about coffee, and has a wide variety of offerings at his shop. He told me that he experiments with different brewing methods (e.g. conical filter, flat filter, hybrid immersion drippers) for each coffee to ensure that every cup of coffee served is the best that it can be.As a former barista and coffee roaster, I can confidently say that Brandon puts more thought and care into each drink than the vast majority of cafes in NJ.I would highly recommend Brew Coffee Bar to anyone looking for a good coffee experience, but especially for people who will appreciate Brandon's extreme dedication to his craft.“
“Had a great experience at this place, so many different varieties of drink to choose from but I'm simple I always get an espresso and avocado toast. Amazing environment to get away and de compress or iron out the details of your day. I recommend this place to anyone whether visiting or local.“
“Just Love Coffee is really nice! The food and drinks were pretty good and they have a great selection, but it is a bit pricy. It is a good place to bring kids too since it is very big for a coffee shop and it's casual in nature. The staff are also super nice!“
“I’ve had the pleasure of partaking in dine in and take out on the same day. I was in town for work. I wish I lived closer because this place is great. The food is fresh, and well prepared. The cold brew was very good as well. Wonderful staff and great ambiance inside.“

“Booskerdoo Middletown donated hot chocolate for our local elementary school holiday event. It was such a hit! The kids loved the cocoa (peppermint and regular, mmmm) and it added such a special touch to the PTO organized family evening. Booskerdoo in general is great, but the Middletown location takes it a step beyond with their generosity, kind service, and personal touch from Jeff, the owner, who is almost always there making sure everything is running smoothly! You won’t get this type of caring and desire to be a part of the local community from just any coffee spot!Kid-friendliness: Great location for kids and a business that cares about the local community!“
“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!“
“Omg these donuts are scrumptious!!! could also be described as Fire if ya nasty. The best donuts around, there is no need to ever go to Dunkin Shmunkin again. No offense but the dunkin in matawan is the opposite of good! Also could be described as bad if ya nasty! But serious talk here lil bro. These donuts are for real the best! I am a tylenol, oops i mean type of person! Who loves sandwiches and donuts, and main st donuts does sandwich type donuts. My personal favorite is the Black out donut. And for valetines day they have a red velevet donut which is my favorite thing ever. Please get their donuts and support their establishment.“
“I have loved this place since the original in Little Silver when they were lunch and a small dinner venue. They had the best homemade soup. Now that they have expanded and our primarily breakfast and lunch the are still amazing. And I've been to multiple....Toms River, Long Branch, Sea Girt, Cherry Hill, etc. Consistent no matter which one you go to. And the coffee is amazing too. I love my French presses!“
“I've eaten at the Rise n Shine on occasion and find it's no frills local hometown vibe inviting. I prefer sitting at the counter old school and watching the traffic go by as I enjoy a delicious omlette. The owners are very friendly and welcoming, and the food is excellent.“
“Love this cute woman owned coffee shop in Englishtown! Tastes better than Starbucks with the added benefit of supporting a local shop.The Newport is my go to with oatmilk and sweet cold foam and they never miss. I’m a slow coffee drinker and my drink tastes good even after an hour with the regular ice cubes. It doesn’t taste watered down.I mostly do a mobile order as I leave my house and my coffee is always ready for me when I arrive. I love that I don’t have to wait especially when they get so busy.“
“Excellent service and the staff are all really professional and of course the cakes Etc that they produce are truly outstanding and exceptional…!!! Thank you for making my wife’s birthday cake it was special Cilia loved it and so did everyone at the gathering we had for my lovely Wife Cilia.Thank you for all that you guys do at Annadale Bakery… we will see you soon..!!Second to none …!!!! ??♥️?? “
“I had an issue with the food that was resolved wonderfully by the staff members. My katsu chicken sandwich, in which I thought was undercooked since it looked a bit pink and clear, was replaced with a new one, fried a bit longer, with an explanation from the manager about the situation. Turns out it was fully cooked just it didn't seem like it as it was only fried to a certain extent due to customers common preference of the chicken crispness. WOULD LOVE TO COME BACK HERE. Would say it a great place to do work since you can have a little snack at the same time.“
“Small cafe/diner offering breakfast and lunch. Nice menu offering a good variety. Tasty omelettes and sandwich options. We last visited on a Sunday and the place was quite busy, but seating was available after a short 5 minute waitThis place gets quite busy on the weekends. Meter parking available.“
“Great coffee and food. Their coffee doesn't have that burnt taste that a lot of shops have and their flavored lattes are delicious and not overly sugary. The jersey burrito and egg and cheese sandwich are delicious. Favorite coffee shop in the area.Parking: Free parking lot in the back of the building.“
“These donuts are delicious but they really need to update their hours on Google and their sign. I just drove 45 mins from Tom’s River because it said they were open. Got here and they were closed even though the hours on the door said they should be open as well as on Google. I’m very disappointed :(“

“My fiance and I had Beans and Leaves cater our brunch engagement party and we were so pleased with everything! Danielle was so helpful and guided use through the ordering process to ensure we had plenty of food for our guests. The food was delivered and set up at our venue promptly and professionally. We ordered a variety of items off their catering menu and everything tasted amazing. The breakfast potatoes were my personal favorite. I would have posted pictures, but the food was so good it was gone before I even had a chance to! Would definitely recommend for any brunch events!“
“1st Cup Coffee is very reasonable & the coffee is delicious in the wonderful town of Atlantic Highlands. You will get great service as well. They have seating to come & relax or grab your coffee & go.1st Cup has an amazing room in the back that you can rent for a very low cost. I just had an event for my real estate business here & they treated me top notch with great coffee. If you need space for a local event or you are having a speaker, this is the place to be. You can not beat the price. I am planning my next event. Thanks Bob!! My guest loved the event.“
“We’ve been here a few times now and have never been disappointed. Today we went in and they must have over heard that it was my birthday. The girl behind the counter wished me a happy birthday and later in the day when I opened the box with my apple tart, there was a little happy birthday sign with it. It’s truly the little things in life and I appreciated it.“
“Average spot with premium prices.Another Voodoo Doughnuts clone without the whimsy, artisinal flair, or creativity. Looks like an NYC place with a hashtagged photo OP swing, NYC prices, but not NYC quality. Donuts are too sweet and will give you the sugar just from one bite.Ice cream, on the other hand...DAMN. Maybe it's because I got a cone in January snow but for $5 I got a packed cone plus 3+ scoops on top. I've never had flavored cones before, the salted pretzel with the salted pretzel ice cream was a top 10 cone ever.“
“Have lived in NJ for almost 25 years. This is by far THE BEST pork roll egg and cheese I have had in the state. The way Johnny assembles this sandwich is perfection. Every bite you take from one of his sandwiches literally gets better as you are finishing it. From the fresh rolls, and freshly sliced pork roll to a perfectly cooked egg with just the right amount of cheese and SPK to hold it together. I can literally say as I took a bite from this sandwich my exact words were “WOW”. I’ll be coming at least once a week from Belmar just to get my fix. Keep killing it Johnny this place is awesome!“
“I had this wonderful waitress named Kim, she was amazing she checked on us multiple times, constantly asked if we needed anything, refilled our drinks with us asking, second time here at this restaurant, first time wasn’t as good as today. Thumbs up to Kim I hope she’s there next time I come there.“

“Just stopped in to grab their soup and some ice cream.I couldn't decide on just one soup so I got 2, the vegetable & lobster bisque and they are both so good. The flavors are delicious, the amount & variety of vegetables in the veggie soup are perfect. The lobster bisque it was a great portion of soup & lobster.Also, I've had there ice cream several times but always go back for my favorite Almond Joy.Their staff is always welcoming and pleasant too every time.Love this little gem in Keyport.“
“Cute lil cafe!! Hibiscus lemonade was delicious and Creme Brulee Latte was the perfect balance of subtle and sweet. Food was fresh and piping hot. Wish the Fried Chicken Sandwich was a chicken breast and not tenders (a bit messy and difficult to eat), otherwise super good!“
“A nice coffee shop on Broad Street in Red Bank. There is a lot of space and is a great place to park yourself and work. The space is bright and comfortable to relax in. They offer a variety of simple eats, baked goods and coffee beverages. They have specials like gingerbread latte. For some holiday cheer The staff is friendly and very helpful.“
“I love this cozy spot in the main downtown of South Amboy. Their coffee and breakfast sandwiches are good, which is exactly what I needed. The Java Dave's special is my perfect order with pork roll (or bacon), egg and cheese with a hash brown. The girls working there are very sweet and attentive. Check it out if you're in the area.Parking: There's street parking, but you normally don't have to park far if you can parallel park.“
“Pretty good breakfast/lunch chain restaurant. Good selection of dishes, nice atmosphere, but I'm slightly disappointed as the last 4/5 times they did not get my order correct. Not sure if the service or the cook was responsible? Food is VG overall, just can't get it your way! Just missing the mark here for me...“
“This café truly has it all! From top-notch customer service to a beautiful and inviting atmosphere, it checks all the boxes for a fantastic experience. The vibrant colors and cozy ambience create a warm and welcoming feeling that is simply delightful. The espresso machines are a must-try, and the sandwiches are delicious. The staff is incredibly friendly and attentive, adding to the overall positive vibe of the place. If you're looking for a café that excels in every aspect, look no further – this place is a gem! Treat yourself to a wonderful experience that you won't forget.“
“Brandon almendares is an amazing worker he always get my order perfect and makes sure I enjoy my drink! He’s always kind and helping in picking drinks while having a smile on his face. He’s a key member in my opinion and makes my visits amazing!! Highly recommend coming!“
“THRILLED to welcome Paris Baguette to Staten Island! The ambience is charming (HUGE space), and the staff is incredibly friendly. The pastries and bread taste especially fresh. I love their individual cake slices, which are always a hit. The attention to detail in both presentation and taste is evident. It's a wonderful addition to the community, and I look forward to making this my go-to spot for delightful pastries and a cozy atmosphere. Highly recommended!“
“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!!“
“went in today for the first time , i was recommended by my children to come. I was immediately greeted when i arrived and was seated quickly . the waitress took our order right away and i waited less than 15 minutes for my order . They decorated so cute for the holiday season , the food was a nice portion and absolutely delicious. i am going to recommend to all of my friends and going to make Finas my new breakfast spot !“

“Solid coffees. I usually get the Turkish coffee when I am in town because it is so good and can't stand drinking out of the family Keurig. Baristas are awesome, down to earth and upbeat! Wish they had some condensed milk just for us Vietnamese coffee buffs. A must visit in Manalapan NJ !“
“Stopped in for the first time. I was greeted by a very pleasant manager who was friendly and gave great suggestions. I had the French toast iced latte, yummmmm! Delicious. Bought the hubby the caramel Frappuccino which he said was delighted! Larges were $6 which are comparible to popular brands. I also bought some goodies which were yummy as well. We live mid island, but I will definitely make it a point to come back to support local businesses.“
“Love this place!!!! I go three days a week before work and the food is amazing as well as the service! The same nice lady always hands me my food and she always remembers me! The people are great, the food is great, what a better way to start my day!“
“Great coffee owner really cares. Bagels are great. Breakfast wraps are wonderful. Only 1 time it was bot acceptable, and that was when the bagel did not have a lot of cream cheese. I will pay more for a bagel, and i understand inflation, but a bagel needs a lit of cream cheese.“
“The service providers at this Dunkin are so kind and service is fast. They greet you like they are so happy to see you. The coffee, tea , sandwiches donuts are always fresh compared to other Dunkin’s in the area. And if there is a problem with your order they correct it with a smile. I drive out of my way everyday because of all I have mentioned and I tell all my friends to go there.“
“This place was a pleasant surprise, me and my Friend went here and the food and service was great but after I left It my stomach stated to fell what I ate and it didn't like but over all it was a great experience and I might come back.“
“The staff is very friendly and the service is great! I always stop in for the coffee, the Dark Roast is my favorite. I have tried everything on the menu from wraps to sandwiches and they are all very good. I definitely recommend to stop in for breakfast, lunch, or even coffee.“
“I really enjoyed the frozen hot chocolate with a bit of Carmel. It is so delicious & so I'm trying not to have it that often because it's alot of calories! The service was good & pretty fast too although they had a few other customers! ? So thanks for the calories & now I must either walk a few miles, or dance all night?Vegetarian options: I think that they will make it for you, one of the guys made me a sausage wrap with the avocado spread! I don't need eggs!“
“Great place to get vegetarian sweets or breakfast.Vegetarian options: Many variations which can accommodate sweet tooth of people with allergies and vegetarians.Parking: Parking lot in front of the store with additional places outside the lot.“
“I have never had a bad experience whether it be eating in ordering. Delivery drivers always nice and friendly and the atmosphere in restaurant is nice. Everything paninis are amazing. I don't eat meat and there are a few options already on the menu to pick from which is wonderful and considerate overall 10/10Vegetarian options: Lent special and you can create your own panini they also have a caprese panini and I'm sure other things, the menu is extensive.“
“Exceptional The sandwiches are to die for the BLT & turkey are excellent breakfasts are sooo good the ricotta and egg sandwich just always consistent and tasty. PRESENTATION is beautiful unique and creative. I order out through uber eats too and even delivery again food arrives hot and delicious. I left a sandwich on my counter for lunch my daughter ate it before I got a bite. I highly recommend piece of cake for everything from breakfast lunch dinner and dessert.“
“Grilled chicken panini was delicious, so flavorful, I added some of the house made olive spread which made it even better. Everything seemed cooked to order. Owner came to check on us and make sure we were happy with everything-we were! Definitely recommend!“
“Awesome fresh baked Donuts always. I was greeted by a wonderful server that let us have a sample donut fresh out of the oven. Such a nice cozy place to sit and enjoy a special drink and treat. They sell speciality donuts for occasion's for different season's. They also sell items for gifts like shirts cups and other merchandise. It's a great place. I will return.“
“I love stopping in Hudson whenever I can! The coffee options are great between the hot brewed coffee and the cold brew. The hot brewed coffees are $3, while cold brews are $4. Some specialty cold brews like the caramel cream (a delicious homemade caramel creamer) are $5. There is a medium roast available for the hot coffee, as well as a dark roast and decaf. For cold brew, there are a few flavor options in addition to plain, and I love that they're all flavored without syrups or sugar. The food options are limited to the delicious, rotating selection of scones and muffins. All are always delicious, so you can't go wrong with any choice. The porch outside is the perfect seating area in the summer. The inside is also nice for in the winter, and has coffee beans, shirts, and cold brew concentrate for purchase. Everyone is always so friendly here, and if you're a regular they will know your order quickly! It is cash only, so just be prepared for that! If you're in Keansburg, stopping at Hudson should be a must!“
“I don’t believe this place is amazing ? better than any similar place for me.She’s a great person and ice cream is so delicious, creamy, tasty and the chocolates made like different earth! ?Thank you so much your service and please keep open forever. ?Perfect clean and decorating ?? gorgeous“
“Honestly I don't know if it was because of how busy they were or if it's why they were so busy but I had gotten some nuggets and my father had gotten a big Mac which he loves but always upset his stomach but he said that was the best big Mac he has ever had and I have literally never had better nuggets they were perfectly crispy and no lingering flavor of other products or old oil and his Mac was the kind of burger where it was actually juicy to the extent McDonald's can but it wasn't greasy so honestly it was a 10/10 McDonald's experience and that is not something I come across anymore“
