My family has been coming to Neptune Market for years, so this was a disappointing visit. We…read morestopped in for a quick breakfast, but what should have been a simple order ended up taking nearly an hour. All I ordered was a pork roll, egg, and cheese on a Kaiser roll with a hash brown patty. I understand they were very busy, but the wait still felt excessive for such a basic breakfast sandwich. I was also surprised to find out that after 11:00 a.m. they stop serving pancakes and omelets, even though breakfast sandwiches are still available. It would have been nice if the full breakfast menu was offered a little longer. The biggest issue for me, however, was food handling. I watched employees place dirty register receipts directly on top of prepared sandwiches, including an egg and cheese that sat with the receipt on it for several minutes. Thermal receipts aren't something I want touching my food, and it completely turned me off. I also noticed several employees with long hair and facial hair working without hairnets or beard nets, which didn't inspire confidence in the kitchen's sanitation practices. Neptune Market has always been a family favorite because the food is tasty and reasonably priced, so it's disappointing to leave this review. I hope they can improve their food handling practices and kitchen hygiene because I'd love to see them get back to the standards that kept us coming back for so many years.

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...

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!
