In season, out of season, or somewhere in between, Baked on the Beach is always a must stop. When…read morewe rent over the summer, we probably go every two or three days. The muffins are the BEST, especially the fruit ones, and the crumb cake is nuts. It's like they bake it JUST to the point of not being raw and then top it with 60lbs of crumb. The building itself is tiny, so if there's a line outside, don't let that stop you. Things move quickly. If you're planning to pick up pies or other must-have items, definitely order ahead since you never know when they will be sold out--I've seen it happen. Nothing says summer on LBI like starting the day with a few bites of anything from here. Waking up to that pink box always puts a smile on my face. Oh, and the cold brew is like 110 octane so a little goes a long way... yet I always get a large.

However, I've developed gluten intolerance and it's hard to find places that offer options that accommodate celiac and gluten sensitive folks. I found that Surfside offered gluten free bagels and wanted to give a pork roll, egg, and cheese with salt, pepper, and ketchup. I was worried they wouldn't have any since I came late into off-season, but luckily they had plain and everything as bagel options. We took two orders of PREC w/ SPK - one on a GF everything bagel, one on a GF plain bagel. The GF bagels tasted almost like sandwich buns, but overall the breakfast bagel hit the spot without causing any terrible reactions. The everything bagel's seasoning definitely made it more subtle of the fact that it was gluten free. There's no seating at this place so it's more grab and go. They also offer coffee but I didn't opt for any. What's nice about the inside are the cool gift items they offer as well as the literal surf shop ambiance -- felt almost as if you were inside a shop in Hawaii. Price is premium in general on the island. There was a $4 upcharge for gluten free bagels so altogether we paid an extra $8. Total was around $25, but again during off season, we feel for the business as things start to slow down. Happy to support island businesses as long as the service is friendly and the food is great! Will give Surfside another chance next summer!

Every year we stay in Surf city and every year I stop in at The Cheese Shoppe to taste some cheese and to buy some for the week. The staff here all seem to pretty well trained and they know their cheeses. It's also helps that they are always friendly and looking to help. The place is pretty open and well-laid out. There's also more than just cheese here so if you're looking to have a few charcuterie boards during your stay then you can get everything you need right here. This year's big find for me was a couple of amazing Bellavitano cheeses with different outside coatings...everyone loved them. Already looking forward to what I'll find next summer.

This place was super disappointing. I ordered a breakfast sandwich and I have nothing very good to…read moresay about it. My egg was so teeny tiny, it barely covered half the bagel. And on top of the egg was Orange American cheese that reminded me of the one that comes right out of the plastic wrapping... You can't even chalk this up to a one time error because I'm pretty sure that's how it's supposed to be made here! The bagel itself wasn't that bad, but it wasn't super memorable. Other than the quality of the food, there were some positives: the people who worked in there were very nice, their items are pretty cheap, and they were very quick in making your food. It seems to me like this is a great place if you're looking for something super convenient, as long as you don't have very high expectations for the quality of the food. If I were to do this visit over again I would ask for double egg and specify for cheddar cheese (or really any cheese other that Orange American).

We walked in and the place smelled delicious and the staff person smiled and greeted us right away though she was helping another customer. The place is a little small, but you don't need a lot of space when everything is to go. My son ordered a small vanilla iced latte and I ordered a cappuccino. The treats all looked really tasty so we also got a piece of blueberry crumb cake. Prices were a bit steep, but I always chalk this up to 'Island Pricing.' My cappuccino was also small for the price. The coffee's were both, however, very tasty. The blueberry crumb cake was delicious and fresh...even though we were there after noon. All in all, I'd say the quality and friendly atmosphere will bring me back with Wifey...

Found Boulevard version with great breading/coating that was crisp and fries were nice and crisp. Salmon Sandwich - nice sized portion for the price. Good taste - would think about what kind of sauce you would recommend - like an aioli - was not quite sure what to eat with. Small thing - they could have remembered some ketchup in the bag for the fries. Totally my 2 cents - coming in, would put the clams front and center walking in. Instead, had a bunch of different things for takeout. It's your name sake. Also, the fish in the display was a little sparse. If you're using the online ordering, you have to submit your order to find out how long the wait til pickup is.

I made the mistake of coming here solo and then having to call hubby to read to him alllll the flavors because I couldn't dare do that for him. One flavor sounds better than the next - strawberry cheese cake - what?! Moosetracks? Yeah, i'm gonna need that too! Then they trip you up with toppings! Too many decisions! I'm on vacation! I opted to get two scoops for each of us because no one walks outta here with just one. I got the strawberry cheesecake and moosetracks - a deadly sinful combo, while I got for hubby pistachio and cookies n' cream. We didn't come up for air while eating these! I found these flavors to be far superior to Ship Bottom Ice Cream - yes - I said it! There's a reason why everyone comes here as soon as the sun comes down. It's a great little family establishment with the hardest working teenagers and young adults I've ever seen. Sit on the benches outside or drive back to your beach rental and enjoy while watching the sunset. HUGE fan!
