“My cousin just moved to the area, and we truly love how convenient all the shopping is, especially this McDonald's. The staff is always so nice, the food is consistently piping hot, and anytime there's an issue or we need a little extra of anything, they're always willing to help.
I really want to thank the management and all the workers here. Great job, guys! And by the way, your vanilla lattes are the best!!“

“I’ve been about 5 times so far and LOVE Emelio’s! The food is fresh and delicious and the portions generous. Even their simple side salad is something special - delicious, light dressing. And the service is great, which is hard to come by these days. It’s clearly a family-run place where Everyone cares about the quality. Also impeccably clean!“

“I go here multiple times a week. The owner is always very nice and the place is so inviting. Sometimes I order pickup and sometimes I bring a friend to have coffee and lunch. It’s the greatest spot. Highly recommend the ruby turkey sandwich. I’m very thankful they have gluten free bread. 🥰🥰“

“loved the vibe here. R&B theme creates such a warm, laid back atmosphere, makes it easy to relax or get some work done. the banana pudding matcha was hitting! staff was friendly, and the space felt intentional. if you’re looking for a coffee shop with great drinks and even better energy, this is definitely worth checking out.“

“Cozy setting and great service. Really enjoyed popcorn chicken. We ordered a lot of drinks for the family last minute unfortunately but they were able to make sure everything fit in the bag and if it didn't they gave a small bag with the extra drink to carry.“

“My wife’s birthday was this past week. The only thing she asked for was a cake from Turquoise! And that’s what she got. The fluffiest, sweetest Red Velvet cake and Cream Cheese. Decorated to perfection! I’m trying to post a photo or two but the app won’t allow it. Oh well… take my word for it. Delicious.“

“Took the dog to the animal hospital nearby and stopped in for a cappuccino. I was impressed with the operation, and the different type of coffees and preparations. Definitely a great place for coffee.“

“SO GOOD! Hidden gem. We had the tiramisu iced coffee with oatmilk and cookie butter cold foam 11/10 and the teddy graham latte with oatmilk is super good too!! They are fast, attentive and super nice. Can’t wait to go there again!!“

“I have dined here multiple times. The food is always great as is the service. The restaurant has a cute vibe, however the last few times I have eaten here the restaurant has been extremely dirty. The silverware is not clean and the tables and floors are not clean. The tables nearby remain uncleared for the duration of our dining. I want to keep dining here, but it really needs to be better kept.“

“Not being from the area (South Jersey), I've wanted to try LeGrand Coffee House for quite a while now. So on a trip up to NY a couple days ago, we finally got the chance to stop in on our way up the Parkway. This place is amazing! This beautifully-decorated coffee house had some of THE best coffee I've ever had in my entire life. I got TWO lattes while I was there (a French Vanilla and a Honey Almond). My family and I also got the chicken pesto sandwich, and it was absolutely delicious. My daughter had an iced chai tea latte and loved it. DEFINITELY get to this place if at all possible! Two thumbs up!!“

“An Episode of the Podcast Local neighborhood experts Sharon and Kyle was filmed here 1/8/25 at California Cold Co in Brick NJ. Upon first entering this chic coffee shop, you can’t help but noticing the stylish trendy muted palettes, industrial ceiling and altogether sophisticated atmosphere. The key elements are clean lines, uncluttered space, and focus on natural elements. The star of the show the coffee. My co-host Kyle and I stayed with the traditional coffee with a shot of espresso and cold brew, however, there are endless specialty coffee drinks to choose from as we were leaving. We were offered a complimentary avocado toast, which was delicious. If you’re looking for Instagrammable photos and modern space look no further than California Cold Co. in Brick New Jersey.

“Coffee! Love that it’s near my home and convenient Drive thru!“

“Been here a few times, their coffee is delicious, especially their nitro! And the owner is a special ed teacher, and really nice. I hear they're getting their food license soon!“

“I’m picky when it comes to my coffee, which is why I get mine here when I’m in the area. Coffee is always perfect and strong The bagels are also very good, along with their other baked goods. The workers are very nice too!“

“Extremely filling and tasty bowls. Love the Trailblazer“

“Love this place and the folks who run it! Fresh food and great service every time! The French dip Sammy is THE BOMB!💣. The best👍“

“OMG... Thank goodness a true Diner has arrived! Moved to Morgan's Bluff 4 yrs ago and I was so disappointed with the Ocean diner. If you can't make a good breakfast or a decent hamburger, you're useless to me as a diner! Guiseppe and son Sergio have already made a name for themselves by serving awesome tasting food in abundance, great service in an immaculate and friendly environment. Love the way they come to each table to see if all is good...making you feel comfortable like they've known you forever!! Keep up the good work. Buena fortuna!“

“Awesome place. Our order was ready in a few minutes. The place gave us ocean beach vibes and we had the pleasure of having who I assume was the owner come and give our daughter some stickers which she was excited to receive. Can’t wait to come back.“

“A passionate owner is the first step to a successful business and you have that here. Great pork roll and coffee is a plus. Highly recommend this place.“

“Adorable location and delicious selections of fresh coffee. Such a pleasure ☕️☕️“

“Once I've paid for my coffee there is no reason why I should have to stand around waiting for it to be given to me while the same cash register worker takes two other customers and they walk out the store with their purchases. I still need to access the crowded milk/sugar station, which delays me even more. This has happened many times, which is why I think twice before going to Paris Baguette so I frequent Starbucks instead. Ordering online and picking my order up just makes more sense, it's certainly quicker.“

“Great food- Savannah was great! Will be back!“

“First time here and won't be the last. The ice cream was so good. The only problem with the ice cream was which flavor to choose. every one we tried was so good.“

“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.“

“When you want the best ���“

“This is my go to place for coffee beans, roasted on premises. There is a good range of beans. I started with the summer blend and found that too mild. Then I switched to Brazil and am happy as a clam. And, the baked goods are delicious, vanilla scone topped with a dollop of icing. Yum!“

“Absolutely spectacular experience, a true taste of Albanian Traditional cuisine with the added ambiance of Albanian Music playing in the background! Enjoyed the red wine from Kosovo pairing with the succulent Ribe Eye Steak! Thank you Cafe Latte friends & staff for an incredible dinner!“

“I purchased a new Jura ENA 8 from 1st In Coffee. I'm absolutely delighted in every way! This machkne is a magical piece of technology. It makes all coffee drinks PERFECTLY. I have a Gaggia Classic and could never make an espresso drink as good as the Jura. AND its fully automatic. It's truly impressive. Before pulling the trigger, I called some dealers. I was most impressed by Jim at 1st.
He was polite, patient, and he answered all my questions. The machine arrived within a few days in 100% perfect condition. This is an authorized Jura dealer for the last 22+ years. I called Jura Inc. and they confirmed this. Jura Inc. wasn't anywhere near as helpful as 1st! The actual manufacturer! I feel comfortable dealing with this company and look forward to doing business with them again for coffee and supplies.“

“Came here early,10a.m.,so quiet & peaceful. The bacon,egg,cheeses croissant was freshly cooked absolutely delicious.
As it was a beautiful day, sat outside enjoying the scenery while eating this delicious breakfast. The cappuccino was perfect as well.“

“Zeynep is amazing!! She baked an absolutely stunning first birthday cake for my son’s’s birthday. It was a 3-tiered teddy bear-themed cake, and she did a fabulous job!! She was a pleasure to work with, and I’d highly highly recommend her.“

“I’m in love with this location, the baristas are amazing and I’ve never had a bad experience here. My favorite baristas name is Elita, not only does she make a perfect drink every time I order she is kind, compassionate, works at a good pace and is a beautiful person, as all of the workers are, I only remember Elitas name right now. Forgive me 💕💕“

“totally blown away . yummy“

“Wonderful brunch menu and great service (Thx Kaylee!) Made for an enjoyable Sunday!“

“Wow! From the first time I took a bite out of the mix dozen bagels I bought I knew I have found the perfect bagel. Great staff, clean and a delicious variety of coffee.“

“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 😘“

“Absolutely the best coffee on the market today !!! The customer service is amazing.“

“First time at Once Bitten and we will be back! So many choices of donuts! We bought the Red Bank, Strawberry lemonade, raspberry beret (I think that was the name) and another chocolate raspberry. All were delicious. Can’t wait to go back and try more flavors!“

“Perfection is an understatement. Kudos!“

“Just want to say they NEVER disappointed. Never too sweet or too bitter. All the drinks I’ve tried so far have been amazing and they have a wide variety on their menu. The staff is always very polite and smiling. I love stopping by here everytime I’m in the area.“

“I was picking up my mom’s birthday order and mine today. I’m so pleased! They called me in advance to let me know they were out of stock of part of my order. Very attentive. Then when I went there for pick up around 1:15pm today, a girl named (hopefully I heard it correctly) Carrie helped me with everything which was a relief because it’s my first time visiting this place. Great service! Thank you“
